 The Divine Child by the spiritual teacher Mooji We are divine beings in a state of recovery, re-discovering our divinity, winning back ourselves from states of delusion. However, the mind is very much a key player in the drama called life, because without it, the consciousness cannot experience the necessary friction for transcendence to occur. And transcendence is the whole purpose of the game. It is a kingly game when seen with eyes of understanding. If you stay stuck in personhood, life will kick your ass. But if you are open to Truth, then you are continuously expanding into greater and greater seeing. Finally, you will exclaim, ‘I love this stepping out of the shadow of myself into the bright light of my Self.’ If my words are true, it is you who make them true. They come alive inside you because you listen inside your heart and accept them. Not just the words, but what they point to somehow recognizes itself, and the stagnant, the suppressed, vanishes in the light of this real seeing. The serpent-mind loses its tongue in the presence of the real Self. You are the Self.
 Allow just one conscious breath to 'bring you Home.' Surrender to the inbreath and outbreath. Control nothing. Allow What Is here now to reveal itself to you. Just one breath will do just fine.
 Eyes turned inward see the butterfly in every caterpillar. It is already so - at the very same time it is becoming so. Sometimes it takes some time for us to shed enough layers of our 'cocoon' in order for the warmth of What Already Is to be revealed.
Some say “I’m only interested in what I can see, hear, taste, touch or smell. I’m not interested in anything that can’t be proven to exist by the senses or my intellect.” And whenever I hear someone say something like that I wonder what they would say about Love. Knowing Love proves that our five senses (and intellect) fall far short in revealing what really matters. No intermediaries are needed to know what truly matters.  "Love, peace, and happiness are inherent in the knowing of our own being.
In fact, they are the knowing of being. They are simply other names for our self." -Rupert Spira We can only know ourself and the qualities of Self directly - Relax your senses and thoughts 'Sense' the essence of Being and notice it's fragrance. "When we start to suffer, it tells us something very valuable. It means that we are not seeing the truth, and we are not relating from the truth. It's a beautiful pointer. It never fails. ― Adyashanti We often think we suffer because of what other people do which is a kind of 'us vs them' way of looking at suffering - I'm suffering because of them! - but when we zoom out to a more open perspective there is the possibility for us to become aware that our suffering is only a kind of 'us vs misaligned seeing' - we're not seeing the truth of what actually is, as Adya points out - I'm only suffering because the way I'm looking is off. What freedom it is when we really see the difference between these two views playing out in our daily life. The 'us vs them' perspective locks us into perpetual suffering and the 'us vs misaligned seeing' is the key pointing the way out. It's not about other people, it's not even about who we are - it's only about the view we are now taking about all of it. ************************************************************ This same 'us vs them' view is extremely loud and persistent in the political realm and sometimes it's hard to see our way to any alternative 'political' view that's aligned with the qualities of Truth - peace, love, oneness. For those interested, here is the link to an article I wrote sharing an alternative to the 'us vs them' perspective within the realm of politics.  When we believe what we think, when we take our thinking to be reality, we will suffer. It’s not obvious until you look at it, but when we believe our thoughts, in that instant, we begin to live in the world of dreams, where the mind conceptualizes an entire world that doesn’t actually exist anywhere but in the mind itself. At that moment, we begin to experience a sense of isolation, where we no longer feel connected to each other in a very rich and human way, but we find ourselves receding more and more into the world of our minds, into the world of our own creation.” - Adyashanti "If you wish to find Love, don't look for the object of love but for the Source of love." - Mooji

It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
