Being Loved
People in your experience may think you're special, not because you are special, but because they recognize what they like about their self within their perception of you, and that makes them feel special. There is only one being, and every self is a miraculous instance of that being - but no self special.
As soon as you start believing thoughts about having to be or do something special in order to deserve someone's attention and/or affection, your energy becomes manipulative, which creates difficulty in your relations as a result thereof.
Specifically, when you are in resistance to who you have become according to thought, your energy attracts 'others' who appear to want you to control your self - because your perception of them can only reflect your own state of mind. Most people take this appearance as true and constantly try to control their self in order to project whatever they think will garner affection from the 'other'.
When you are self blinded in this way, you cannot recognize the value in relating with those who would adore you as you are, because your energy is seeking the ones who match your own perceived need for self control.
While the self changes naturally through the evolution of consciousness, mental manipulation of self leads to inauthenticity, resentment and generally unhappy relations. Indeed, a controlled mental state keeps your energy affixed to a pattern of needing to be something else - which effectively prevents your personality from becoming more fully 'who you are', thus confining you to an unending cycle of discontent and conflicted relations.
Who you have become according to thought is precisely the part you are meant to play within the fabric of what is. By allowing your self to be natural, you not only attract people who reflect acceptance for your present state of being, but you allow the transcendence of your energy to lighter states of being.
You are infinitely loved and appreciated just as you are. Not everyOne will find this attractive, but to the extent you accept your present state, your experience is filled with those who reflect that acceptance to you.
All you can be is as you are Now, and when you perceive any pressure to change or control your self, that's your opportunity to observe what you’re thinking and feeling while recognizing the perfection of your beingness. In time, you will notice that you are more consistently in the presence of those who adore you, and that your energy is evolving beautifully through no effort on your part.
Love Message: Unreasonable Pleasure
Your capacity for experiential pleasure is unlimited. To the extent you are open to the gifts that Life is presenting to you Now, you are allowing ecstasy beyond words to be expressed through your individualized being.
This is not to say that anyone should chase pleasurable experience. Indeed, all perception is patterned with feeling, and to the extent one tries to create pleasurable feeling, it's opposite is activated within their energy of awareness - and addiction is made manifest thereby. Read Full Article
Unreasonable Pleasure
Your capacity for experiential pleasure is unlimited. To the extent you are open to the gifts that Life is presenting to you Now, you are allowing ecstasy beyond words to be expressed through your individualized being.
This is not to say that anyone should chase pleasurable experience. Indeed, all perception is patterned with feeling, and to the extent one tries to create pleasurable feeling, its opposite is activated within their energy of awareness - and addiction is manifested thereby.
Every thought that crosses your awareness is a demonstration of egoic gripping to pleasurable experience and resistance to painful experience. Your belief in the truth of thoughts is all that keeps tension between the polarities for you, and makes them real in your perception.
Pleasure, experienced in the present moment, immediately becomes an experience of memory when thoughts about sustaining, recreating or protecting the experience of pleasure are believed. Accordingly, pleasurable experience tends to be elusive and short lived.
Pure consciousness is the source of limitless pleasure from which all feeling is created according to thought. While superficial pleasure (the opposite of pain) is based on circumstance that evokes an elated feeling, the deeper, limitless pleasure is a resonant yet subtle rhythm which can be attuned to at any time, under any circumstance.
By noticing what is being thought and the feeling and breath pattern that come with the thought, then deepening the breath without judgment, you are allowing pure consciousness (the source of pleasure) to penetrate through mental patterns as they cloud your awareness. As pure consciousness is permitted access through the layers of mind, core belief in the separate self (which is the only barrier to one’s capacity for pleasure) is exposed.
In this way, consciousness is allowed to gently detach your energy of awareness from identification with thought, and the polarities of mind are diffused thereby. From a truly detached point of view, all thoughts and associated feelings are not only a pleasure to observe, but they provide the necessary direction whereby the movement of awareness may be given to allow new openings for greater depths of experiential pleasure.
The window of opportunity to allow conscious access to your thoughts and feelings is always in the present moment, whether you are thinking about past or future is irrelevant - all thought happens in the present. You deserve to experience levels of pleasure that surpass all mental reason and understanding, and focused attention can lead you there.
Love Message: Solution
All perceived 'problems' are manifestations of spiritual ignorance, for which there is no economical, political, legal or otherwise mental solution.
Abundance vs Scarcity
Abundance is not the opposite of scarcity, as the mind would have you believe. Abundance is the reality of existence while scarcity is a self limiting idea.
You have the innate ability to not only survive, but to thrive in any financial climate, with any form of governmental rule, and under any circumstance. All there is to do is allow the Abundance that is the essence of ‘who you are’ to be expressed through your perception.
When a thought that screams ‘scarcity’ crosses your awareness, and you recognize it’s lack of meaning, the energy of your perception is immediately shifted to a lighter frequency. Small shifts like this add up until you become so aware of your abundant essence that even the idea that scarcity exists (or that anyone needs protection from it) looks silly and irrelevant.
The End is Without End
Overwhelment and frustration are forms of attachment to desire, whereby you have become identified with the mind's calculation about what end must be attained before you can relax. However, desire never ceases, and new 'ends' are constantly being calculated according to the new desires that spring forth from your individualized point of view. Continue reading
Love Message: Enlightened
Enlightened is not something that you become, it’s who you already are. Only belief that you are something else keeps you apart from enlightened experience.
Enlightened
Enlightened is not something that you become, it’s who you already are. The experience of enlightenment is sustained conscious awareness of the Truth ‘behind’ the illusion, irrespective of circumstance within the illusion - which is basically the absence of self belief.
You are not separate from the Truth, but the beliefs you uphold for who you think you are have caused you to temporarily forget your true identity.
Because each individual accumulates unique life experiences which forms their present state of awareness, their path toward experiencing the enlightened state is not only unique, but in a constant state of flux - making it impossible to chart anyOne’s path. In fact, the more one endeavors to follow another person’s path, the more their sense of separation is reinforced - thus making their individual awakening less likely.
People with something to sell will insist that there’s something wrong about you, for which their method can make right. While nothing you do is ever wrong, all methods (even meditation) require mental effort - the antithesis to the enlightened state of being.
This is not to say that employing methods to invite enlightenment are not on your path - all methods used by you are on your path, but just like everything else in this world of form, methods are meant for creative play - not as a means to an end.
When you get ‘serious’ about meditation, yoga, observing your mental patterns, or any method, ego (energy of fear) enters through another window in your awareness to identify ‘who you think you are’ according to whatever method you believe to be important.
However, no matter the extent to which you are identified with thought, ‘who you really are’ is constantly leading you toward a more awake state of being. In this way, even if you are not seeking spirituality at all, the particulars of your life experience are your constant guide in the direction toward the enlightened experience.
Because awakening occurs in the absence of mental chatter, everyOne is gifted with perceptions that create minor to extreme mental shock and/or confusion - depending on their unique state of being and what degree of insight they are ready to receive.
Everything perceived is a unique message for the unique, individualized energy of awareness. While no perception needs to be analyzed unless one finds it entertaining to do so, every perception exposes self beliefs which can be further believed or simply dropped.
If one merely trades one belief for another, nothing has been resolved, but this is still along the path toward the enlightened state of being. Eventually circumstances will arise to help dissolve the newly formed belief; and if physical death comes before all beliefs are dissolved, their essence remains integrated within energy of awareness to be relived in the next birth/death cycle.
While methods are valuable to condition the mind into a preferred state of awareness, ultimately, stillness of mind (experience of nothingness) is the enlightened state of being, which ‘happens’ when every belief (including every method) has become irrelevant.
Admission of Victory
Belief in thoughts of lack is an admission of defeat. Specifically, thought trained on scarcity confines your energy of awareness to a mental construct whereby perception of scarcity is amplified in your experience; and in every moment that you believe such thoughts, you are being led by the mind toward the experience of physical 'proof' that there is not enough (money, time, love, talent, knowledge, etc) for fulfillment of your desires.
You are an inherently victorious being, for which everything you believe becomes truth within your perception of this creative environment - while no belief can ever define or identify you. Indeed, all desires projected out of your energy of awareness are being fulfilled right now - as modified to accommodate the beliefs you hold in contradiction to those desires.
All struggle, suffering and feelings of defeat are manifestations of existential ignorance, brought about by belief in that which is energetically dissonant to the essence of 'who you are'. However, in the moment your energy of awareness returns to focus on the Truth that underlies all 'truths' made out of belief, ignorance is immediately absolved along with perceptions and feelings of ignorance.
Getting to know the voice of scarcity by its feeling and associated breath pattern will give you conscious overview of lackful thoughts as they are playing in your awareness. In this way, space is being allowed by you, within which you may consciously discern which thoughts are true for you.
Through attention, it eventually becomes obvious that the only thing to admit is victory because that is closest to the Truth of who you are.
Your Will is The Will of God
Your will is the will of God, indeed your consciousness is God. While you can only know egoic will while entranced within the mind, you can intuit the Will of God through conscious overview of thinking and feeling.
The ego (energy of fear) is asserting authority of mind over your energy of awareness whenever you think or speak the words 'I have to', 'I need to', or 'I must'.
There's no-thing that needs to be done. Really! The breath of life sustains your being, and the movement of thought determines your state of being - out of which action emerges.
It's up to you and only You to allow your energy of awareness to be attuned to your will (God's will) by staying focused on the Truth of who you are, no matter what you think is expected of you.
You are invited to recognize the words of egoic will, along with the associated feeling response, let go of the idea that anything needs to be done, and notice the shift in feeling.
That shift is your energy of awareness being lifted out of mental construct.
From this lighter, more sensory perspective, you can perceive which movement serves you (God) instead of egoic mind. Even if you do nothing physically, you are always directing the movement of thought, and with conscious attention to that movement, much progress can be made whether or not any physical movement is involved.
Movement that is true to the One who knows what glorifies All is a pleasurable experience, totally detached from any outcome or personal attainment. This delivers your energy of awareness to the flow of abundance and grace, where you may remain focused as long as you stay alert and keep choosing the direction of thought that's 'right' for you.
