When questions cannot be answered

The mind asks questions.  It creates processes and ideas as a means to answer them. The mind is unaware that exerting effort to dream, to confirm its vision and reinforce its identity, is actually a way of slowly letting go of all that it thinks is real. 

Everything is taking place in the presence of something that merely sees.  It is always here even when attention is focused on concepts, on changing ego self-views, priorities, and questions.  It is always possible to release all that stands in the way of being that which cannot be lost, all that does not change. Notice what happens as questions arise that cannot be answered.  Energy and attention shift.  Without consciousness, nothing exists.  This cannot be understood.  That which sustains being, that which exists beyond all questions, is not invented.  Close eyes and see.

"The one who starts the inquiry does not finish the inquiry but is finished by the inquiry." -Mooji

Know the power of release

For everything, there exists a season. You may reach stages in life when you sense inner conflict and contemplate accepting the discomfort or, ignore it as long as you can. Whatever you believe and fear becomes what you perceive.  This also what you come to think you learn and unlearn or let go.   Notice what else is happening.

There is no conflict when you focus attention on what is consistent and real. The mind's decision about what is real does not change the truth. As you outgrow ego perceptions and willingly shift focus, you can also abandon what is felt as the source of conflict.  Know the power of releasing what is not you. That which remains is nothing.

"To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go." -Lao Tzu

Allow authenticity to speak

Every moment, the mind thinks and speaks using words.  What you choose to utter reveals your sense of self-worth and much more about you than you realize.  What do you hear yourself say? What are your word choices telling you about authenticity?

Authenticity is unconditional love.  Being this is doing nothing but implicitly accepting who you are without fear. It is seeing life energy, the shared force, in everything. It is all seen through the lens of love. You are aware the conditioned mind blocks you from seeing universal oneness. When you say "I think," this echoes a sense of doubt or dissatisfaction already. Notice what you imagine into being for whatever purpose you also imagine.  Allow or resist presence that is, the unwavering love that embraces all.

Choose to truly listen. What do you notice? Write down some of the words you use. Notice the feelings that aise.  Be aware of emotions. Words are defined concepts that are, by nature, limiting. Even now, you are invited to learn and unlearn self-perception. Notice thoughts and feelings may draw attention to reasons for feeling less than perfect, less than unconditional love, peace, balance and well-being, that are all inside.

"All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind."
- Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

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

Inspiration for Be your Dream

You may wonder about sources of inspiration for my latest book,  Be your Dream. Each of my books is divinely inspired and actually writes itself.  Each one invites you to recognize choices you make come down to love or fear. Each invites awareness and consciousness to reveal themselves to the extent you allow them. Each book offers quotes that beckon you to see your own reflection through the eyes of all others.

This new book invites you to recognize the role of the ego the heart in dreaming. It also invites you to see what happens as you see things as they are and as heart and mind as seen as one.  You already read your thoughts and feelings, but are you aware they tell you how how true you are to self, and what you can do to see the truth and lies?

Be your Dream empowers you to notice the role of ego in your dreaming process, how scarcity motivates certain choices as part of the struggle for abundance and seeing the ego for what it is inspires other choices. This book invites The Awakening to the nature of beliefs and negativity. You are invited to stand in your power, face the inner shadow and know what the true reality is beyond conditioning. The cause of the social system is our individual refusal to do inner work.  Nothing changes in the external world until we make inner changes. As Gandhi says, "Be the change you wish to see."

This book invites you to see how the mind is a fear filter and the heart is like a lens of love through which we allow ourselves to see the world.  As you allow the heart and mind are seen as one, you begin to see existing is about inner work, and what is required to deconstruct problems you imagine into being. What happens as you come to accept and embody freedom? Experience is the unquestionable teacher.

Every moment, we have opportunities for change.  Everything that you experience can be related to dreams.  Any insecurities you have are based in fear. That fear you are not all you perceive yourself to be is the reason for dreaming, for goal-setting, for creating unrealistic expectations of yourself.  All of it is illusion constructed to keep you from discovering the truth.  Shift focus.  See what happens.  Awakening occurs when each of us discovers things for ourselves. Inspire others to find their own light within.
