Enlightenment
It's viewed as some great attainment, but we can only ever be enlightened in each and every moment when we choose to be fully present in it and see what the moment offers. And when we begin to string a series of enlightened moments together something wonderful begins to emerge and we're open to receiving all the signs around us. This something is stronger than the mind and trusts that What Is is exactly what's supposed to be right now.
A stroll in the moonlight
Some crawl, some walk, some run, some sprint but we all reach the same place eventually. And maybe those who have learned to take a leisurely stroll enjoy the journey the most.
Unexplainable connection
We really don't need to be part of someone's physical existence, or even offer words, to wish them all that their heart desires...that's Love in the truest sense of the word :)

From You
The Whole World comes out from You...
There lies All the answers to any conceivable question You may have.

The quitter in me
The second incident today was a very valuable lesson.
One of the employees at my workplace sent me a text to say she won't be in tomorrow, in fact she decided she wouldn't be coming back. I was initially disappointed that she just quit with no notice or regard for what that would entail for the other employees and myself...re-doing schedules and working extra hours until I could train someone new.
But on a moment's reflection I caught myself and realized that if there was a reaction within me then there was something I was denying. There was a quitter in me...at 22 I quit a job with no notice or regard for anyone else. In that moment I was so thankful that I wasn't there right now but could own the quitter in me and I got the gift of integrating another part of myself. When we take the time to look in ourselves and own what causes the reaction we give ourselves an immeasurable gift...at some point in time we're all capable of that which can cause us to react.
And because of that I was able to just wish her the best in whatever she chose to do...she's the one creating her future right now and will have to accept the quitter in herself at some future point in time and for that reason I can genuinely feel compassion for her.
We each can only act from our own level of awareness and I am so grateful that mine continues to expand every day.The more I watch for the signs and synchronicities on this journey the clearer they become and I move through each situation presented with much more ease and a lot less stress.
And now I get to hire someone who may be a much greater asset to our environment at this point in time.
I'm actually beginning to enjoy watching this mind of mine :)

Right in front of my eyes
What a strange day!
While rushing out today ( obviously NOT in the moment...therein lies the answer) I was running around looking for my sunglasses only to realize they were right on my face. Made me stop for a moment and chuckle...
On this journey we spend so much time searching for what's right in front of our eyes because it can only be found in the present moment.
Sometimes it's hard to find what we're looking for and easy to miss what we're not looking for :)

Like Mother Like Daughter
" When I was a little girl Mom, I wanted to grow up to be just like You...
Now, I am grown up and I have something more I'd like to say.
I'm proud of You, Mom. You have my deepest respect
As well as my love, and I still want to be like You."
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for everything you have done for me.
Love Rachelle

Thank You Rachelle, Nicole, Mikey and Justin from the bottom of my heart...I'm blessed that You chose me :)

Living on Purpose
Everyone's floundering around searching for a purpose. The journey to full self realization is the purpose...for those willing to go there.

Numbers
One year older, says who? If time is an illusion I can be any age I choose at any point in time...and I've always been a genius with numbers :)
Trickster
It's a master at tricking us into thinking we've dropped the reins when we've really only loosened the slack...only when we drop those reins completely can the free ride really begin :)
Unfolding
To think we control anything is an illusion of the individual mind. Only when we let go of the need to control anything and embrace uncertainty can we see reality revealed.

Questions and answers
The egoic mind thrives on asking questions and searching for answers and stories are created from the stressful thoughts that arise due to the game. When the thoughts are questioned (simply to ask can we absolutely now that it's true?) the story is seen clearly as a fiction that may never happen and the thought will eventually cease to come calling.
Answers can never be found in the mind because Truth exists only in the Heart.

Planes of existence
One world with many planes of existence, experienced by individual perception... Heaven, hell and everything in between.

Knowing? Guessing?
To realize how little we know... when we think we know so much. The don't know mind holds a host of possibilities. Do we ever really know?

Doubt Everything
In the place of Great Doubt there is proof of nothing... Faith is the only thing left.
The Sinner and the Saint
The Saint loses Presence for a moment and utters an angry word, the Sinner has a moment of clarity and has an epiphany. Is one better or worse than the other?
...Me thinks Not!
...Me thinks Not!
Real?
Searching for and missing something we never had.
But how can we miss something we never had? Doesn't that question itself imply that it was something we did have? Didn't it have to exist in the first place for it to be missed? Does it have to be in our physical manifestation to be real?

Death
Death...the thing we're most afraid of although most are even too afraid to admit that.
But Awakening is Dying... to truly Awake we have to Die to who we think we are.

Settling of the storm
The mind will constantly try to grasp it,
The intellect will continually try to understand the mystery that will always elude it.
It can only be reached by that which runs deeper.
It enters with no thought or concern.
But sweeps all in it's path
That stands in the way of clear vision.
It consumes with a hunger and thirst
that sates the true appetite.
Looking for fulfillment
in only that which is real.
Too many wearing masks
of authenticity
that appear real
to those floundering on the surface.
Dive deeper and
the ocean's beauty is revealed,
in all it's myriad of life forms that exist...
from those resting on the ocean bed
to those floating on the surface
and all that swim in between.
Waves sweep over the shore
caressing the sand as they move ashore.
It arrives as a tsunami
but offers the gift of fluid freedom
in the settling of the storm.

Clarity
I've come to notice that my moments of clarity and inspiration come when I'm outside... guess they can't be confined to closed spaces.
The Gift
The Gift is that in feeling it, I get to understand everyone else so much more...and That makes my story so much more worthwhile.
Real
I asked
And It answered
I called
And It came
It entered my heart
Like a strong burning flame.
I tried to resist It
But there was no doubt
It's not something
The 'me' knows anything about.
The veil of illusion
All fell away
And what's left is what's real
And it's here to stay.

Trinity
For some reason this word keeps popping in today... new perspective.
We live in a world of duality looking for oneness. Maybe the answer we're all longing for resides in neither...
There's good and bad and that which is neither, there's up and down and that which is in-between, right and wrong and that which takes a stance on neither side, feminine and masculine and that which has no gender... a mind that contains both and battles with the play of opposites but doesn't realize That which is beyond mind itself integrates it All.
That which watches the battle between the knowledge and the knower...the Knowing bemused by it All. The Trinity encompasses All Aspects and leaves none out... a little bit of a different take on what those nuns taught.

Love Is Blind??
Love Is Blind...never could believe that one. The ego's the one with the shutters closed...Love Sees and Feels All.
Truth=Love=Freedom
The Truth only ever hurts to the ego and the One offering it is only ever coming from Love... don't let the ego win Now when You have made so much progress becoming aware of it. Coming from Love One can't ever offer any less than the Truth because to do so is a disservice to Who You Truly Are..that's the gift and the path to freedom that the ego does not want You to see.
Truth appears to hurt to the ego, both in the giving and receiving, but Real Love knows the Truth and can offer no less because, in the realizing of it, that's where freedom lies. The moment of being offended contains the point of realization.

Why?
Why does the sun rise in the morning?
Why do the birds fly way up high?
Why do we hurt one another?
Why do we laugh?Why do we cry?
Why does the flower share it's beauty?
Why do the branches bend in the wind?
Why is there war and not peace on our planet?
Why do we believe in a world that has sinned?
Why does a baby love without judgement?
Why do most take what they don't need?
Why can't we give without expectation?
Why all the signs that we just don't heed?
Why can't we open our hearts to forgiveness?
Why can't we trust the Source we come from?
Why can't we just Love one another?
And live on this planet as just One.

Maybe it's neither, maybe just Not knowing...accepting the uncertainty and allowing the possibilities.

Right or Wrong
To realize that neither exists releases the need to defend what we believe to be right or the need to prove that the other is wrong... the cause of most of the world's problems.
Ultimately we really don't know anything absolutely and we can see that everything just IS.

Nothing lasts Forever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dj7p3h03qQ
...Nothing that's what we return to and it really does last forever, that's Eternity. It's the only thing that really exists but it doesn't exist at all because it's No-Thing. We humans make the mistake of looking for eternity in some-thing.

Meaningless = Freedom
When we realize that Nothing has any meaning, except that which the mind gives to it, we're home free. And ironically enough, rather than leaving one complacent, it encourages one to help those lost in the confusion of the mind...but only if they are asking.
Because even in the confusion the Truth knows they're doing just fine...they merely haven't realized they're just believing a story and when the time is right for them to discover this realization for themselves they will.

Spider
Spider the mind
Spinning it's web.
Grabbing a thought thread.
Spinning and spinning
Till it's out of control.
Fabricating it's web as the story of mind.
But how flimsy it is,
One touch and it's gone.
Till he grabs a thought thread
And begins once again.

No 'me'
A mind that is closed exists only in me
But to the one that is open life flows fully free.
The I who I Am
Knows that we're All One.
And the dream I've created
is finally done.
Reality emerges,
So bright and so clear
As the illusion disintegrates
And with it all fear.

Understanding
As humans we're all kind of stupid really. We spend so much time trying to let go of thoughts when all we really have to do is meet them with understanding and question them. When a thought pops in simply to ask, Is that true? Can I really know that's absolutely true?, opens the mind enough to consider other possibilities.
...Then you don't have to let go of the thought because it lets go of You :)

Back to Roots
Time to book a flight for a long overdue visit...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbMln5JXXsQ&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbMln5JXXsQ&feature=related
And so the story goes...
More than anything else on this journey the one thing I have come to realize most is that when the need to defend against someone or something arises,it's time for me, once again, to take a step back and take a good look at myself.
To try to defend against What Is is futile and says way more about me than the other person. Everyone is just being who they are, in that moment, and anything less than total acceptance of that only creates suffering by wanting things to be different.
Freedom only comes by fully accepting everything and everyone, right as they are, in this moment with no expectations. The only person I ever have control over is myself and what I don't want to accept in another is merely an aspect of my own being I may have kept out of my awareness and is now time to embrace and integrate,
When I can really look and accept every human being just as they are I give myself the gift of just being able to love, with no hidden ego agenda, and I really get to see the bunch of wonderful quirky characters that make up this world I live in. The drama becomes something I no longer feel a need to participate in but can often elicit a smile when I can hold on to the realization that it's all just a story...there are still moments when I'm a slow learner :)

Who?
We put so much energy into trying to be someone we're not. Then we direct our energy into trying not to be someone we're not, instead of just being who we are.

Perfect Or Not?
Another dose of wisdom from that wise old 8 yr old...
"Mom,at the same time, everybody's perfect but nobody's perfect"
In the eyes of the Divine we Are and always will be perfect, to the ego mind we will never be perfect enough.
"Mom,at the same time, everybody's perfect but nobody's perfect"
In the eyes of the Divine we Are and always will be perfect, to the ego mind we will never be perfect enough.
Don't give up
When the ego feels the struggle intensely, it is merely a breaking down or stripping away of all that is illusionary, and the closer one comes to fully realizing reality, the more the ego will panic. So when things seem to be at their worst you are so much closer to the best than you realize...hold on tight and don't give up :))
