Seeking The Truth of Now Right Now is Different Than Seeking The Truth of Now in the Future

10/20/2019

 
I find it to be so helpful to become aware of the many ways we cover up 
the direct knowing and sensing of peace now. 

When we don’t know that Wholeness is already the case 
we try so hard to find it through something we do – 
all the while unaware that those very ways we try to find peace 
are the very ways we are covering up what we are trying to find!

So … seeing the ways we cover up the realization of what we are 

can be extremely helpful in letting those ways go.

Three general ways we believe we can get to what we seek 

is through earning, demanding or withdrawing.

Those who try to earn their way try to be good,
try to learn or do more, try to figure things out. 

They believe the answer lies in the goodness or knowledge
or activity or success that they accumulate – 

not in what they actually are.

Those who try to demand their way to what they seek try to fix others, 

learn about ways others aren't measuring up and how they can be helped to do better. They believe the answer lies in what others do or don’t do – 
not in what they actually are.

And those who withdraw believe the way to what they seek
is in trying to remain safe from all hurt –physical and psychological. 

They have either temporarily given up trying to find the answer and want to be left alone or want to find the answer within the safety of being left alone. 
They believe the answer lies in what they keep away from – 
not in what they actually are.

Seeking is an honest energy.
​When we don’t know the Truth of Being we are built to seek. 


But the seeking energy of trying to earn, demand or withdraw our way
​into the discovery of what we seek 
is not open to life now. 
That energy is fixed on the future.

To discover what we seek we must be open to Now.
Openness to Now is a dropping out of seeking into discovery.

How Can What Feels Natural Not Already Be The Case?

10/6/2019

 
When we consider what feels natural this gives us a clue about what is True –
True with a capital T.


After all, how can what feels natural – universally – not be innate to us all?
 
This is why everyone everywhere in every time seeks peace, happiness, love.

Regardless of when and where we are born –
Truth is not beholden to either time or space.

Sensing what is natural again and again and again and again
opens the way for us to trust it.

And trust opens the way for us to more fully live it.


Sensing leads to trusting and trusting leads to living

Grace or Effort?

9/22/2019

 
Sometimes the question about whether awakening to Stillness
is a matter of grace or effort comes up for someone.
But in my experience, I don’t see it as an either or kind of thing –
but both. As well as both being kind of the same.

Yet often, I find that there is some built in confusion 

about what grace and effort is actually addressing -
which I hope is cleared up in the following story …  

 
-----------------------------------------------
 
Imagine there is an eagle who thinks he is a chicken.
Now, there is nothing wrong with being a chicken – if you’re a chicken.
But if you’re not a chicken and you think you are …
well, then … that misperception creates a lot of inner conflict and confusion.

The eagle endlessly pecks at the ground while having visions of soaring.
He feels deeply claustrophobic within the behaviors of a chicken’s limits
while feeling so much more is possible.

So – although nothing at all – neither grace nor effort –
is needed to become what he already is …
both grace and effort are needed for him
to come to an understanding of what he is.

Grace, however, is not something that comes to him
at rare, random moments –
it is the very thing he is now experiencing …
as he feels the frustration of the unnatural limitations he has taken on,
senses the truth of expansiveness,
and makes the conscious effort to not only see what is untrue
but discover and trust what he senses is true.


------------------------------------

I see effort as grace.
And sometimes, grace as effort.

Effort is the grace of Love at work -
Love clarifying Its understanding of Itself.

Even while earthbound, as the eagle senses his expansiveness
he begins to lift his head, feel his body a bit differently,
spread his wings a little more,
get acclimated to the warmth of the sun in places he never felt it
and then gradually,
ever so gradually,
get a sense of flying … and then soaring. 
Grace and effort are the two hands of Love - 
and sometimes it's impossible to tell which is which.

Your Divinity

5/7/2019

If someone looked you straight in the eyes and said,
“The Divine is now perceiving through your eyes”
would there be a humble acknowledgment of that
or a quick rejection of it?
 
“God is omnipresent” really says it all....
 
I see the human journey as an  amazing opportunity
to come into the understanding of what we actually are.
 
As we relax, relax, relax out of all of the notions
we have accumulated – our eyes are free and clear
and our heart is then open to the
humble acceptance of our divine true nature.

Being Awake In The Dream
​(Is Another Way To Say 'Being In The World But Not Of It')

A few weeks ago someone told me about a dream he had.
In the dream he was in a chaotic situation and desperately
wanted to get out of it and then had the thought

 "This is so crazy. I can't be making this stuff up!"
And then he woke up enough to realize it actually is a dream and then thought,
"Hey, wait a minute! I am making this up!"

 And then …. all he wanted to do was go back to sleep and continue with the dream!
 Only when he knew the truth of the dream - and of himself as the dreamer - could he then enjoy it all.  
 Amazing how different everything seems when we are awake in ‘the dream’.

The Divine Dance of The 'What' and The 'Who'

11/6/2016

 
Picture

When we know what we are we can then begin to more fully live out who we are.

​And when we more fully live out our individual expression while knowing our essence as that which is independent of all expressions, we come to know our essence even more fully.

​It is truly amazing how this divine dance of the One and its expressions works together so perfectly.... but then again - how can Love not 'work'?

The Fragrance of Peace Can Be Trusted

7/7/2016

 
If we desire to find a rose one way to find it is to follow its fragrance.
​No analysis is required.

    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."
      Sri Nisargadatta     Maharaj

      Einstein said,
    "No problem can be solved 
      from the same
       level of consciousness
           that created it."
      
     

     
    To see new solutions
       we must see differently.
