How To Be Still!

Leave a comment

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking . . . in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.  – Franz Kafka

deep being

We’re being called to listen and to be, with full intention and attention. This deep level of being allows us to be one with all that is. In this foundational repose we’re fulfilled and want for nothing.

deep stillness

This deep stillness is a level of being that can be reached daily and with life changing impact. We stir the love that lies dormant inside us. We awaken to the full possibility of life, joy, success and happiness. Life, which is always abundant can now be claimed by us, to do with it what the Universe pleases.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still and fulfilled!

What’s The Best Advice?

Leave a comment

Be truthful, gentle and fearless.  – Mahatma Gandhi

life

Life has a way of fulfilling all our needs. When we trust it, it delivers. From something apparently minor like the quote for today’s blog to something ‘big’ like a relationship, Life delivers it all! It will deliver it if we’re patient and don’t rely excessively on self to figure it all out!

truth

Life gushes through us when we embody Truth. Truth is the doorway to an effortless collaboration with divinity on a daily basis. To live truth we must be fearless. Who can harm us? We’re the children of the ‘Most Highs’. We have nothing or no one to fear! Gentleness enables us to listen. When we listen for the truth we can be fearless…

How To Stay Awake!

Leave a comment

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. – Henry David Thoreau

slumbering

We slumber, and do so collectively. We have mechanical thoughts, robotic likes and dislikes, we’ve mostly made up our minds and are barely aware of the present moment. We move about in a hypnotic daze.

awake!

We must awaken. Awaken to the richness of the current moment. To the opportunities that show up if we only pay attention. To possibilities that lie dormant unless we open up to them. We must recognize that we’re sleeping before we can awaken!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM projecting my full attention into NOW!

What Did You Want To Be?

Leave a comment

What did you want to be when you grew up?  – Internet

intention

Intention is the seed that eventually germinates to produce the tree in the shape of our dream. So we must keep dreaming. Have we ever had a deeply held intention that didn’t become real?

growing up

By the way, did we actually grow up? Some dreams shouldn’t be realized until we grow up. If they do then that leads to unsavory situations. Who knows maybe that was Life’s design?

What’s The Path?

Leave a comment

Don’t you see that the roads to Mecca are all different? – Rumi

it’s spiritual

Life isn’t all that it appears to be. It’s not about being ‘successful’ as society defines it. Life has a spiritual underpinning. If we don’t consider the spiritual, we miss the big reason why the Universe and we exist.

the path

The stairway to heaven is different for everyone. If God wanted everyone to be perfect he would have made us so. If he wanted us to have all the answers we would have already had them. If God wanted us to follow a single path to increasing awareness and joy then it would be emblazoned across the sky. Blasphemous to many but just like we’re truly unique individuals, we must follow very different paths to Reality…

The Art Of Allowing…

Leave a comment

You deserve your good thoughts about them. This is what the Art of Allowing is.  – Abraham

others

We spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about others and what we don’t like about them. When we hold negativities about others we suffer. And we don’t ‘allow’ them to be who they are.

the art of allowing

Intellectually we all understand why we must let others be. But we still can’t do it. We must let go in order for that to happen. We let go when we stop manufacturing justifications about why we don’t like them…
