Who is playing this game?

As you shift attention to and from external events, what do you notice?  The inner judge arises.  Watch it comment and compare.  Beliefs and morals pipe in.  Listen to the voice that asks who is responsible for the events and the fragmented perception of them. Who is playing this game?

As you shift from noticing difference and conflict in the world to feeling unity, the mind is quiet.  Observe the traits of the human ego.  It appears arrogant and selfish.  As you shift from an ego focus to feeling guided by the heart, your behaviour naturally changes.   Soul knows everything is always pointing to who you truly are.  Discover that.  What stands in the way is the desire to be "me." To know the truth is to want nothing in return.  Life shines out of pure grace.

Consciousness is playing this game. The human being is a divine expression of consciousness yet does not control or possess it.  So long as your focus is on a separate or individual identity, you overlook the divine being within.  The living spirit shines inside each being.  You only appreciate those things you feel mirrored within yourself.  True nature is present. Its never quite the picture you see with human senses. So much more is revealing itself. Allow seeing. Feel the way.

Everything points to the God or Buddha within you.  Everything evolves and regresses on some levels.  As you allow yourself to see and feel more of the divine within you, the pictures change.  Travel inward and expand on the kaleidoscope.  Many forces are at work to sustain this illusion.  Be awake and flow with the movement of consciousness.  Be alive to the light of consciousness.

Negativity unresisted is grace

Everything you experience makes you who you are. As negativity arises, you may be conditioned to resist it. And yet, as you allow every emotion to flow freely, something amazing happens. All things experienced fully reveal their opposite. Are you ready to take responsibility for peace within yourself in this moment? NO waiting is required.

Something prompts you to realize you can exist in peace. Notice polarity or conflict within yourself as part of the human experience. You can also recognize that any sort of separateness, any perception of divided ideas or personalities, whatever identity you are protecting, is pure illusion. You know nothing is knocking on the door of the mind.

The human part of human-being is an opportunity for deeper discovery. Cease doing what you are doing.  Let go of all self-image, all you are taught. Do nothing. Notice what remains.  Allow grace to reveal itself. The source of awareness or consciousness is present and exists as you to know itself now.  The heart only loves everything as it is.

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." -Rinehold Niebuhr 

The key to happiness

The key to happiness is felt in the recognition you are that already. Mental desire, discernment and judgement of the mind offer another perspective, but this is not the real you, or that which observes everything in silence. Being joy feels this unspeakable essence that is fully present, and all-seeing with clarity.  As striving for anything ceases, allowing takes over.  What remains is felt as innersight reveals itself.

Feel what its like to experience unwavering peace of mind, to be aware of innate perfection. Regardless of what the mind would have you believe is unfolding in the movie of your life, serenity is unwavering behind everything. Being happiness feels like there is nothing to escape, nothing to seek. That which transcends space, form, and time is revealed as the lumen being emerging and opening doors to eternity.  Notice your focus.  Recognize the being of light, the feeling of divine presence that is grace.

"To be awake is to be alive." - Henry David Thoreau

"The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness." -Maharishi Mahest Yogi

Timeless wisdom of humility

You may recall an experience in you life when you sense you learned a valuable lesson.  You may talk about it to reinforce the assumed point of understanding. During another stage of your life, you may wonder why a new opportunity presents to you to learn the same lesson.  In fact, you may begin to notice the lesson is available to you again and again and you had been unaware until now. What is the timeless message?

Awakening is a signal from the universe that the mind can tell you one thing while the heart knows another in silence.  Humility is like a signpost, a feeling reminder of the right way of seeing things from the broadest possible point of view.  It is meekness, the willingness to be perceived however others choose and not having to prove you are right.  It is about letting go of what your ego tells you matters and discovering it means nothing. Let go of what you think you want.  Surrendering to not knowing is everything.

"Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life." -George Arliss 

"...in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying." -John Tauer 

You are that

The ego mind interprets the tangible, the perceptible, that which is subject to change.  It views dreams through its own self-centred filters.  How do you know that you are paying more attention to self? What exactly is i that observes the changeable?

That which is the essence of being is the silent witness that can only be pointed toward.  It does not arise and disappear. It is changeless, conscious presence, in perfect harmony with effortless silence.  One consciousness sees no division or difference.  It is awareness felt in ways that which words simply cannot convey.  The universe reveals itself in subtle ways. As self identity no longer thinks itself as separate, one being awakens to recognize itself operating in the inner realm of consciousness.

"Because you fnd the dream creations transitory in relation to the waking state there is said to be a difference. This is only apparent and not real." -Ramana Maharishi

"Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all." - Carl Jung
