Awaken to false interpretation

Every moment, you have infinite opportunities  to recognize you are not the mind, you never were, and never can be.  To identify with what does not exist is part of the process of awakening to false interpretation.  You are shifting energy, focus and outgrowing beliefs you are ready to let go.

You may have heard of Chuang Tzu who dreamt he was a butterfly and awoke depressed and in a quandry.  He is unsure whether he is a butterfly dreaming he is Chuang Tzu or Chuang Tzu dreaming he is a butterfly.  This story prompts you to reflect on what is real and tangible to you.

When you awaken from any dream, you are invited to increase awareness. You are invited to reach a place where thought does not exist. When the mind is quiet, thoughts do not exist. The gap between thoughts is you. Within that gap, neither Chuang Tzu nor the butterfly exist. So long as thoughts exist, the mind is present. It is a teacher but it is not you. Be alert between thoughts.  Emotions are your guide. You know what feels right.

End your suffering

The emotion of disappointment arises when you resist surrender.  It gradually eats away at the ego. You experience a kind of suffering until you reach a stage when you accept another way of living exists. You are only willing to surrender to who you are when you reach a point where you have had enough.  You decide to end the thoughts and interpretations that create self-inflicted suffering.  As you realize you have a choice, you can decide to stop imposing suffering on others and cease your own as well. Every let down is a teacher.  Otherwise, you would not awaken to know suffering is over.  You discern infinite reasons to be and allow love.  You intuitively release patterns, peel away the old to reveal something new.

Travel anywhere

It can be a fun exercise to take out a globe or another kind of map and choose places to visit. Dream your way there using all senses. Perhaps you have deja-vu, like you feel as though you have been somewhere in particualr before and are going back.  Imagine that  you are able to travel anywhere, without limits.  What sort of adventure would you undertake?

Shift to feel meaning

Nothing transforms your perception like stepping back and seeing everything through the eyes of love. This ability never leaves you completely although you shut yourself off from it more often than you realize. Notice that seeing through the eyes of love means your sense of judgment has less of a hold over you and it gradually fades and vanishes.

Notice what you view was important and necessary shifts with your sense of who you truly are. As you liberate self from the linear and logical, you begin to experience a new kind of freedom. As you realize you are always loved and appreciated, the ambitious part of you stops seeking. You now know what you are does not have to capture your attention through your experience in the world. It reaches you even during ordinary moments. You shift from seeker to finder. You shift to feel all you require inside.

Emptiness simply is

Your nature is awareness that is self-aware.  There is a quality of lucidity and intelligence so familiar they go noticed. You embody a tremendous sense of love and well-being. You can align with perfection or balance regardless of what appears to be going on outside of you.  This authentic you knows emptiness simply is.  How willing are you to be simple, to let go of the tendency of the ego to do what it does? You always have free will.  Every moment, you are invited to let go of deeper and deeper opinions, identifications, and judgments that are irrelevant to your true self.  Nothing is required to reach a liberated place.  Stop trying and resisting.
