Imagine no plan exists

It is commonly taught that devising a strategy, setting goals or plans is the way to live. At some stage, it may make sense.

Yet, consider the possibility that living a purposeful life has less to do with your efforts to control outcomes and more to do with responding as higher consciousness to what unfolds.  Discover that you throw all you encounter at yourself to remind you to love.

Imagine for a moment, that no set plan exists for the journey you are on.  You can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone.  No limits exist except those you create and believe.  In the game of life, the object is to love everything equally and unconditionally.  Only then does it grow clear you are love itself reflecting back.  Call it Zen, Tao or no-thing.  Its always here in everything.

Lose what needs to be lost

If you sense fear arising, you may also wonder where it comes from and how to eliminate it.  Notice the false is diappearing.  That which is real reveals itself but you only see what you are willing to see.  The real  is always here.  You are simply conditioned to turn a blind eye.

Consider thoughts and busy-ness are required for a false sense of self to exist.  Notice what happens as you view everything through the lens of bliss, knowing all is well.  Discomfort only exists if you believe in it.  Limitation only exists if you focus attention on it. 

Notice how frequently you self-criticize or see something wrong with yourself.  Notice how often the mind has you focus on what does not appear to be going well in the external world.

Take a moment to recognize what happens to you in solitude.  All those people in your life who reinforce your beliefs are absent.  Notice how such an exercise helps you let go of all the illusions you imagine into being and allow the light tor eveal itself.  The truth is here.

"It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave." -Tupac Shakur

Awaken to your game of life

If Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Nanak and Zoroaster, and peers of their level, were seated around a table discussing consciousness, you might wonder what matters they would discuss or if everything would be telepathic.  You might also wonder if they play a game of cards, which face images would the cards reveal? Would personality transcend? If all is revealed, then which faces remain?

Their followers formed religions which highlight difference, control and power struggles.  You might evolve to feel such practices deviate from the original tenets that promote wisdom and humility.  Such traits raise conscious awareness beyond superficial levels of dreams.

Its said spirituality is based on three common ideas agreed on by all sages:

1) A sense of a unifying, supreme, absolute Source 

2) Humankind's mortal nature and unlimited energy as a radiation from the Source

3) The possibility of learning spiritual secrets by deconditioning and remembering what you forgot at birth.

Regardless of whether you consciously connect with some God  from within or from outside the human spirit, your consciousness has the potential to expand alongside your evolutionary process.  You may experience biological turning points or changes in psychic energy.  You always have opportunities for different levels of awakening.  What sorts of cards do you hold in your spiritual hand? Which ones will you lay down? Which cards, if any, reveal the true self and decode the ultimate dream?
