Notice why you ask

Notice what you ask for in life and what you are really asking beneath or behind that.  There is always more going on that the mind recognizes.  You are constantly invited to see through the question and come to understand the nature and motivation of the questioner.  As you query the question itself, you are allowing deeper assumptions and beliefs to reveal themselves.  What are you ready to notice and let go of at present?

As you are open to directly experiencing everything, you live the question. Very subtly, you are experience the answer. You emerge into being as the questioner from the answer you do not initially allow yourself to see.  All parts of the whole co-exist inside awareness. This encompasses everything and nothing in this moment.

"The question is how the questioner exists." -Kedar Joshi

Identify with nothing

Notice what happens as you shift attention from everything you dream or desire to focus on silent nothing. Imagine erasing the mental whiteboard.  Any image or thing you identify with loses meaning.  What is exists without anything to do, imagine or undo. It is the changeless background.  Being is not created. Yet, it confirms its presence.

Notice what happens as you stand back and realize nothing requires your attention. Escape or attainment is unnecesary and irrelevant. Being aware of states of mind, thought, time, space, words, action or physicality enables that which observes to know it is not this.  Any search is taking place inside infinite awareness itself.  That which observes is not part of a process.  Identify with nothing.  Be self-aware.  Know you are beyond anything describable in words. Who you are speaks for itself.

"It is as if all of the doors to the mind have been shut. Nothing scary, nothing monstrous, just nothing here." -Julie Sarah Powell

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 

Nothing is actually taking place

Notice what happens as you look at something directly.  In essence, you shift perception to see its opposite. You are conditioned to see fear in love.  As you awaken to the truth of forgiveness, knowing arises that nothing truly exists to fear or forgive. 

Every moment you fear/forgive, this brings you to closer to unwavering trust in the unseen.  As you come to feel we are all the same, you begin to forget yourself as a person.   Let go of the mind, its images and dualistic thinking.  Forget the conditioned self.  Notice what remains. Feel the being beyond time an space.  Allow awareness to be. This is not you.  It is oneness acting as you.  Nothing is actually taking place.

"How can ONE really Explain what ONEness is What the Grand Love is What ISness is ... ONE can Try to explain it ONE can Try find Words ... ONE will not really succeed with it. One WILL FEEL "it" It It being Nothing It being ALL." -Rama

Tell it like it is

The conditioned mind would have you believe suffering is good for you and invites you to think and focus on that.  The mind urges you to 'tell it like it is.' For the mind, this is anything that distracts you from unwavering acceptance, peace and contentment.

Notice what happens as you focus attention instead on what you love, on what evokes joy and happiness within you.  Feel the vibration that arises as you talk about what touches your heart and inspires your soul.  Sing about it.  Compose poetry about it. Use any or all forms of creative expression that resonate.  Sense what it is to be authentic, to be still inside, come what may in the perceived external world.  Even take moments to say nothing and allow silence to speak.  Surrender to what is deeper.

"Be nothing, do nothing, get nothing, become nothing, seek for nothing, relinquish nothing, be as you are..." -Miranda
