At the threshold of the unknown

The moment you reach the threshold of the deeper unknown, nothing you are taught makes sense anymore. It is outgrown.  Intuition is the dependable compass in all areas of your physical life.  Awareness of the deeper journey arises when you begin to ask questions about the unknown and unknowable where no traditional answers exist.

Everything is felt as a bridge to love, to the recognition of the oneness of being. This is not the concepts mind would have you believe but is known through direct experience.  You may notice a guide during the journey, but such a guide cannot experience for you. Just like the presence of any mentor or inspiration, you come to sense each one is an extension of you.  Each one is reminding you that knowing complete acceptance and self-worth transforms your perceived life experience and what you sense beyond it.

The essence of being transcends any world you believe in or imagine.  The presence of being is in the world but not of it.  At the level of presence or awareness of real self, that which cannot be known, objectified or described, silence conveys timeless messages.  As you notice the stillness, this frees you from an illusions of ego that are never real to begin with. Fear of freedom is ultimately what keeps you focused on identifying with the person you think is you.  Be free and know what souls knows.

"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." -Kahlil Gibran

Recognize the root cause

You do not need to do anything to be and feel free. Suffering of any kind always comes back to perceived lack of freedom. Delve into roots of your own suffering and see them as they are. The more you deny who you are, the less you trust and more you fear.

Only as you acknowledge the essence of being and its ever-present awareness, do you begin to realize problems are in essence, human at the core. The mind is the origin of distortion and misperception of reality. Words and interpretations are human mental filters. of energy  Know you allow or resist the one unified being that is.   

From the moment you see and feel everyone as a reflection of yourself, you begin to recognize every encounter is an invitation to love yourself more, to appreciate everything and everyone equally, and to see through the illusions of separation you create. Heartfelt honesty shines though as you gaze into the eyes of another. You are him and he is you. Intrinsic value, is. This said, where does your sense of freedom, suffering and separation come from? What happens as you take responsibility for your perception? Notice what stands out as you realize where your energy and attention go. 

"Where attention goes, energy flows and results show."- T. Hary Eker

Notice it is all experience

Some people always imagine discomfort or look for what is not working. Other people do not even notice anything is wrong.  You also have a choice to see everything is as experience without judging it at all. What if you see everything as a timeless teacher?  What if it all beckons you to see through the lens of love, unconditional acceptance and compassion.  Notice nothing has meaning except the meaning you actually give it. You can selectively forget the past or previous events and see everything as a blank slate.

Consider how your perception of life shifts as you recognize every situation invites you to grow.  Choose to be free from problems that do not exist.  Problems that have been resolved cannot bother you.  Let go of the past and accept the solution is inherent in every perceived problem.  Everyone is actually an angel in disguise performing a role to see if he can elicit a reaction from you. What was never is what you do initially see.

"All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else." — Buddha

All fear brings a message of love

The mind cannot explain what its like to be emptiness, infinite joy or pure freedom. Rather than grapple with what it cannot understand, it orients you to focus on the future, to nurture fear of the unknown. It conditions you to interpret and judge as it does.

Notice what happens from the moment you grow aware all fear you feel silently invites you to see through it. A spontaneous shift of attention brings you to the present moment. The message of unconditional love and acceptance is unmistakable.

When you acknowledge that you do not know who or what you are, that is, when you cease to be concerned with the things the ego tells you to get worked up about, something divine takes over. Reasons for worry fall away. There is no thought of controlling anything and no fear of not doing so. Awareness flows freely. It knows any effort you make to obtain or be something implies you believe it is beyond you.  Notice your life reflects and reinforces how much fear is controlling or love is guiding you. 

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and let it come in."
-Morie Schwartz (from The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom)

Know you are free

As you begin to see through illusions that take shape as your life, you sense your resistance to innate freedom or merge with it and let all else fade.  The mind has no neutral thoughts. They reveal a meaningless world if this is what you choose to see.  You focus on the action on the movie screen or the light projecting images behind it.

In other words, the external world only stops functioning as you see it when you stop believing and giving energy to this image of reality.  You are conditioned to overlook this. What happens as you do? As you awaken to what truth in the heart, however this translates itself to you, it is apparent you have power to evolve and devlove, to shift focus of attention and transform experience at will. Your choices create energetic worlds unfolding into your awareness.  What presents as you open Self to the flow?

Part of the universe seems to be devloving, focusing on the dark side, on fear and on conforming to systems without question.  The more negative your focus, the more asleep you are to why you are in this state and what you can do about it.  This is like a Star Wars film where clones arise to follow a centralized order. Does this resonate with you? Would unconsciousness and powerlessness be your choice now? 

Another segment of the universe seems to be evolving, waking up to see each other as equals.  This part of the population helps everyone they come into contact with, begin to activate dormant senses and to see higher realms. From this vantage point, cell membranes download frequencies and programs.  New species arise and vibrate on different levels based on a need perceived by the universe.  Experience and awarenes hinge on your vibration. The cyclical nature of things forever speaks through you. 

To know you are free is to accept you have infinite choices at any given moment.  You are so free you can choose mental and emotional bondage.   What if living in harmony changes the vibrational essence you set into motion? Every experience serves you to degrees you allow and also serves collective consciousness on its journey nowhere.  This is offered for your contemplation. Do with it as you will. 

"Enlightenment is finding nothing to find, coming to know there is nowhere to go, the understanding that all is perfect. It is not an achievement, but an understanding there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go. You are already there -- you have never been away. You cannot be away from there. God has never been missed. Maybe you have forgotten, that's all. Maybe you have fallen asleep, that's all."- Osho
