Notice what is self-evident

Notice what the mind says is real, important and worth your attention.  Mental thoughts focus your perception on external worlds, on a sense of a future state or circumstance to work toward.  Observe the range of emotions you feel and what they point toward.

Notice the essence of being is here in the stillness and awareness amidst all else.  What is self-evident in the mind distracts you from what is ever-present beyond it.  To quiet the mind reveals another kind of stepping stone. Intuition allows the unveiling of inner activities and that which has no name.  That which is validates itself in silence.

"No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself." -Thomas Mann

See yourself everywhere

Purpose can be viewed as a changing perception of fulfillment. Everything can also be felt as a stepping stone to opening to consciousness. What happens as you voluntarily turn inward to explore the truth?  What do you let go of and what reveals itself quietly?

What you find is that beyond the fear, anger, sadness, despair, and other emotions, you are willing to be more honest wih yourself and see through direct experience what is real. You begin to see yourself everywhere.  This is not the Self the mind defines.

You travel no distance to be where you are. Now is the  moment is when you simply Be who you are.  The sense of oneness and individual co-exist with nothing to reconcile.

"The nature of truth is dynamic and always calls for a deeper level of simple honesty and vigilance." -Gangaji

Notice what you are not seeing

Regardless of what you are seeing or feeling at this moment, every experience invites you to clarify things for yourself.  Whatever dawns in the mind is there already.  There is no one path to follow. You matter as you are where you are.  Any tension you feel is telling you that you separate yourself from full awareness of ability and potential. 

Notice what you describe and the feelings evoked by each word you choose.  Giving words to experience can be an unconscious effort to control, understand or pin it down.  What's it like to contrast your experience with those of others?  Notice what happens as you allow Self to experience without describing or comparing.   Awareness arises. Notice that your focus of attention can shift to see what you are not yet seeing.  Every book you invite into your life has perfect timing.  Everything reminds you that you are a divine messenger with access to soul and inner knowing about who you are.

"You travel but in dreams, while safe at home." -A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

Remain as the Self

That which perceives everything else in its presence is the seer. When you allow a thought to turn into a belief, this becomes your experience. This world is and is not exactly what you think in the moment. In the heart, all truth is confirmed for you. There is no unknown, only that which is revealed or obscured. Only the mind accepts or rejects. To remain the Self is to completely surrender to the infinite unknown. There is no place to go where you are not. Nothing exists with the watcher behind appearances. To know freedom is to touch the soul. Nobody can ever eat, sleep or just be for you.

All paths offer truth

Whatever your chosen endeavours, love is communicating through everyone you meet and every unfolding situation.  They each reflect aspects of inner being.  Every experience is part of a broader, spiritual journey.  Whatever choices you make are the right ones for you at a given moment.  Notice your focus and how and why it changes. Notice opportunities to deepen insight, be more compassionate, forgiving and loving.  Recall I am you and you are me.

In silence, mental images of you vanish. The essence of being reveals itself in unconditional love that resonates energy through all that is. You need not say anything to know answers arise right on schedule. Their perfect timing and effortless flow is not grasped by the mind. Ego believes its identity is separate, calculated and forever threatened. Behind the illusion, all paths reveal one is always whole.
