Let it flow


The mind thinks of everything you can lose. The heart thinks of everything you can give, and the soul thinks of everything you are. I will leave it up to you to decide which of those three is the most important…

We all want life to be fair, right?

But sometimes it just isn't. True?

No. False.

Life is always fair -- it sometimes just does not look that way. You will see how 'fair' life is if you will give it a chance to play itself out. Wait. See.

How much patience do you have with Life?

Are you willing to overcome minor obstacles as you move through your day?

Consider the possibility that the little obstacles in life are not obstacles at all, but stepping stones. Look to see what they offer you in terms of growth and you'll see their treasure.

Listen to your Self today. You have been telling yourself something very important for days now. Today, listen more closely. And heed. Trust the still small voice within. Your soul is gently leading you to your next step.

Life is meant to happy. I know this is sometimes hard to believe, and I know that on many days it simply is not your experience, but it is true. You have all the tools right now to make this day, this moment, happy.

Happiness is a decision, not an experience. You can decide to be happy without what you thought you needed in order to be happy, and you will be. Your experience is the result of your decision, not the cause of it.

You always have everything you need, right here, right now. Do you know how I know? You're still here. If you hadn't always been given everything you ever needed, you wouldn't be here.

Life is bendable to our will more than we know. In fact, that's the deal. If we don't know that life bends to our will, it will not. 
So the trick is to know that life is on our side -- and but awaits our command.

When we wake up to our being, we see a depth to the levels of ourselves and others we didn't even imagine.


I think that Awareness is a very, very important aspect of Life. 
I think it’s an important quality to nurture and to grow. 


So look deeply into each moment. Savour each nanosecond. Don't miss a single cloud formation, if you can help it. Or a single fragrance. Or a single nuance in the energy of your Beloved. Don't miss this; don't miss this, DON'T MISS THIS.


I stare intently at the clouds and the changes of the sunset that occur with the blink of an eye, walking away & coming back; the flutters of butterflies; the sound of a stream; the energy of rain falling from the sky; the smile & eyes of my beloved; the smell of a rose, that I can’t walk pass WITHOUT smelling.

It's so much that you can be overwhelmed, but I'd rather be in awe or have sensory overload from the beauty of creation than to be overload with worry and the matters of the 'world' ... I like where I 'live' much better.

Life is all about becoming "aware," primarily of ourselves, if we can focus on self. I would say that awareness is probably THE most important aspect of life. We may and probably do not for most of us comprehend the vastness and absolute timelessness of that single truth. 
By just being aware of it is enough to set you off on a lifetime of thought and contemplation. Who knows what ALL OF IT, really is? Who, among all of us human beings, has that completeness in their understanding set? 

I dare say, maybe none of us, even the most advanced souls on this earth, have that completeness. But just being AWARE of that truth, is sufficient to get us started out on a path we can never really walk away from again in our mindless sleepwalking here in this solid illusion. It took a genius to create something so real it felt and we believed it was...only to shock us to find out, it never was.

I will say this - things like, "You cannot have what you want," just for one, are sufficient to make the point. How can we know the truth about life and who and what we are if we are never aware of that fact? 


Religion that so many are talking about, does not teach you who you are...it do not lead you to an in depth understanding of SELF. 


Religion is all about "OUT THERE," somewhere else, with someone ELSE...religion, I mean the Judaic religions do not look inside the SELF - and that means then, all those people are walking through life like zombies, thinking the answers lie everywhere but where they reside.
How can a human being advance their spiritual knowledge when they are caught up in a system which despises the very processes that would make us aware? In order to become aware, you have to really be willing to give up all of your pre-supposed knowledge and understandings about what life really is - you have to be willing to say, "I don't know anything!" Then, and only then, can you begin to open up to the real truth and become AWARE.

My curiosity helps me to be aware of a lot of important things in my life ~nature, family, friends, people, my own thoughts , feelings ~ values beliefs, faith in God, & most important~ LOVE ~~& much more ~I WON"T MISS THESE - the smile on a baby face, children's laughter, each breath I take, the budding of the trees, the sound of the river, birds chirping, dog's unconditional love, my own serenity & enjoying the four beautiful seasons, or ~~

One best friend forever to another...

We’re best friends because you get it. I’m not sure what that means (it’s all so vague) but whatever it is, you have it. I don’t need to explain anything to you or worry if you’ll get the joke. You already got it and are on your way to making the next one. Thanks, babe! You really make socializing a lot easier for me.

We’re best friends because you love me even when I’m terrible. It’s easy to love someone when they’re doing well, it’s easy when there’s nothing but happiness and good vibes. The real challenge comes when everything is crap. You’re not a fun person to be around, people are screening your number and you’re a damn social pariah. But you don’t care. Even at my most Carrie Bradshaw, you’re still down to get brunch with me and talk about dicks.

We’re best friends because I can take you anywhere and you’ll adapt. Whether it’s the chicest party or some insufferable family gathering, you’ll deal with it like a champ. I don’t have to worry about leaving you alone or keeping you entertained. You go do your thing. I do mine. Let’s meet back at the bar in an hour.

We’re best friends because you never make me uncomfortable. I think about most of my friends and realize that they’ve made me feel weird at some point in our friendship. Whether it’s from an awkward silence or an off-colour remark, I’ve felt unsure about them. Not you though. I always know that you make sense and that this makes sense.

We’re best friends because we can go for long stretches of time without talking and it won’t damage the relationship. We always pick up where we left off. Surfaces changes mean nothing to us. You could become a vegan who goes by Moonshadow and attends Burning Man, and I would still feel closer to you than anyone else. We don’t need common interests in order to connect. We don’t need a mutual love of music or sports or whatever to keep us together.

We’re best friends because you don’t get resentful or jealous if I get into a relationship or land an amazing job. I mean, maybe you are and that’s fine. The important thing is that you keep it to yourself like a best friend should.

You’re my best friend because you’re not afraid to call me out on my crap or disagree with me. I can’t get away with anything when I’m with you. You’ll tell me things that I need to hear but everyone else is too afraid to tell me. Your honesty is so damn refreshing albeit a bitter pill to swallow sometimes.

We’re best friends because you make feel less alone in this psycho, flaky world. It’s amazing how often you can feel disconnected from people. It’s amazing how many people can betray you, or fail to understand the words that are coming out of your mouth. When I see you, it’s a burst of reassurance that I’m not the only who looks at the world this way. There’s someone else. And that someone is you.

Happiness... comes from within...

We all have to start with ourselves... to make our selves happy... from within... that is the way to go... first help yourself and then others... To heal our heart seems to be a very profound challenge and a really good thing to do... Look inside and feel what is your true desires... Work... partner... food... body... health... and so on... Listen to the subtle signals in your heart... telling you what you love... what gives you joy... trust and follow them and your life will begin to feel lighter...

Sadness and pain... is usually a burden we have with us from earlier stages of our precious life... Memories that we have not integrated... Take time to look at memories that gives you pain... Send love to all involved including yourself at that time... This will help you heal the memories changing the feeling in your heart to the feeling of love and ease...

Confusion and not knowing where to go... is very usual... and if you are a Woman... I recommend you take time when you have your moon blood... to dream deeply... At the time of your moon blood... a portal within you opens... connecting you to the deeper layers of yourself.... Give space... focus on your life... dream... what is your desire in life... what gives you true happiness... what is your core values... let go of the mind... and flow freely with your dreams... feel them out... and know in yourself... that with your support... they will come true...

Start there dear One... and so much will come into your life... bringing in the spirit of creation... and that is truly special.

Lonely or ALONE..

Most people don't understand the difference between being alone and being lonely. 


Being 'alone' just means being yourself, with no one else around. 


You can be alone in the shower, alone while driving, alone when you're sleeping, and alone in your office at work. 


Being 'lonely,' on the other hand, means that you're absent from any emotional connection to the world around you -- it's as if the whole world in which you live is full of strangers. 


Some people feel lonely in a crowd, and some people who are completely alone don't feel lonely at all.

One reason that many people avoid opportunities for solitude is that they equate solitude with loneliness. 


In fact, it's only possible to enjoy solitude -- time with yourself -- if you're emotionally tied to the social world around you.


 To those who see with loving eyes, life is beautiful.
To those who speak with tender voices, life is peaceful.
To those who help with gentle hands, life is full.
And to those who care with compassionate hearts,
life is good beyond all measure..

What Else? ~ ♥ * LOVE ~ OF Course IT IS.

The pattern of abandonment probably started long ago... listen to your truth when choosing your people.

The purpose of all relationships is to create a sacred context within which you can express the fullness of who you are. And allow the other to do the same as ourselves in this context.

In my experience no one who has ever left me was someone I needed back into my life.
People who are in my life are kind and loving and honest. I practice this by holding myself accountable to create the sacred context within which others can express the fullness of who THEY are.

We were born alone, live with people, and then die alone again. Live my life for myself and be with people and enjoy it, together.
That is a beautiful truth that does justice to the meaning of it all.

That sacred space makes every relation beautiful. Keep your relations with great care.... It takes long to create them. Once created can never be broken.

Have you ever had the experience of being totally carefree? That feeling is the key.
And when you can express that authenticity you'll probably discover that others will be drawn to you because they too, can drop their facade.

So what happens when your relationships don't allow you to express the fullness of who you are? One might say.... Well, it's not so much that your relationships don't allow you to express your fullness; it's that you simply aren't choosing to be you.

For those who experienced sadness in their love lives. People say that one sided love makes no senses.
For me, it does. Don't seek love at all. Just give it. Be content in yourselves.
Some people never come back to your lives so it would be better not to wait for them. Move ahead with unlimited love in your heart.

Letting go..

Sometimes you have to let go to allow room for peace.


Sometimes you have to let go to allow room for love.

Sometimes you have to let go to allow room for growth.


Sometimes things must change,
relationships must end to save yourself from the criticism
and judgment of those less fortunate then yourself.

Sometimes those people will “try” to come back and, most likely,
will be singing a different tune.

Sometimes those people will “try” to appear as someone they are not yet to be.

Sometimes those people will lie, manipulate, deceive and when they do it

It is up to you how you choose to react, how to feel.

Step back for a moment and see the situation for what it's worth.

Is it worth your time? Is it worth your energy?

When the lesson has repeated itself and it feels as though there is no end to it, what do you do?

YOU REMEMBER . . . you stand in your power, you begin to TEACH THEM.

Sometimes that takes letting go.

Choices...

Our feelings are individualistic and one has the natural right to give them to whom he/she chooses. Intervention in one's decision on choosing who to give them to is futile.

One might say, oftentimes we don't actually can't choose whom we are attracted to, it just is. Happens.... Attraction is not a choice. But pursuing the attraction is a choice no? So, my point is one has the right to do that with whom they want and it is pointless for another to intervene in that since it is an individual matter.

Honesty to thy self is crucial and of the utmost importance.

TRUST too is place important factor in any relationship and that should not be broken as it's impossible to undo it.

Programming everyone with the same thoughts and feelings isn't going to uplift humanity is it?
Hitler tried that one remember.... And whoever said love is logical anyway?
Where’s the Romance in that?!
Life makes perfect sense when in love however illogical it may appear. Trust the universe to take care of everything else...

We can only receive what we give; we can only give what we cultivate in our Hearts

Strive to see beauty and good in everything; you have a choice on how you see the world and the way you live in it.

Oftentimes, no matter how many rules we follow; it's never good enough for the rule makers. When you're almost done obeying this one, there is always the NEXT one aligned already....
There arrives a MOMENT when we are called upon by LIFE to DECIDE. To either is a shepherd or a sheep. A Shepherd not to control others, rather to steer our own Journey.

This choice is available in every moment. Life is deciding our fate and we are also capable of deciding the fate of the life. The choice is always there for both to decide. The universe is watching who is going to take the first step!

“At the head of all these laws, in and through every
Particle of matter and force stands one through whose
Command the wind blows, the fire burns, the clouds rain,
And death stalks upon the earth. And what is His nature?
He is everywhere the pure and formless One, the
Almighty and the All Merciful. Thou art our Father. Thou
Art our beloved Friend.”

Stay Free – Stay Present – Follow the Energy.

Act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability, taking it as far as you can possibly take it, with zero expectation of the outcome. (Bashar)

At any given moment you have a number of things that are available to you to take action on. Doesn't matter what they are. Just pick the one that has the most excitement that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on, and act on it to the best of your ability until you can take it no further, with absolutely zero expectation."

This is my guiding principle of life. Life is about choices, and your choices reflect who you believe you are. The preceding principles are; stay free and stay present.
Because it takes a certain awareness, intelligence, discipline and courage to select the option that moves you forward.
If you believe something is not good for you and you still do it, the effect is detrimental. If you believe that something is good for you and you do it, it's beneficial. It is that simple.

One of my principles is to listen and follow my instinct that means to be in contact with my nature which guides me in some ways in life ... then is me who decide the choice.

It isn't easy to let go of preconceived mental constructs but when you follow through with this and truly have no expectations, you will experience freedom and bliss. Accepting "failure" as part of life as well as the fact that life is unpredictable and we all have the option to go with the flow...

The entire life has been an exciting process that requires an effort and a little courage to wake up, get up and start a new day which is a new chance.
From my experience; intention yes, clear vision yes, outcome independence yes. Reason being twofold.
Your physical mind is good for creating an outline and visualizing a concept for the purpose of setting you in a state of being.

Once this vibe is achieved, it's most effective to then release control so that your higher mind can bring to you the reality that is representative of your state of being. This also opens for the possibility of something better that you can imagine to come to you.

If you are weighted heavy towards a specific outcome, you are simultaneously invalidating the option you do not prefer, thus giving it a charge/attention and attracting it to you. By seeing all paths as equally valid you are in balance and open to receiving that what serves you most.

‎"Your mind knows nothing but the past. It imagines the future will be just like yesterday, so it makes it decisions based on that."

I think that's what is called 'logical decisions’.

Never forget the past.... at any time it could be the present... That’s a gift.....in fact, sometimes the heart is primarily subject to the past's powerful emotions - though in those aware of it, CAN serve as a looking glass into the future's possibilities.

That's why it's so important to never let the mind become the master of our thoughts. The mind is a very POOR Master! 
We must be our mind's Masters and as the non-dualists say: come to FULL STOP of the Mind when we feel anything that causes Resistance, and allow our true nature - 'the heart", which will bring us to a complete 'newness' for any moments to come beyond the present moment we are here 'NOW' experiencing!

This statement is true of those who are unaware, asleep, and unconscious. However, it ceases to be true the very moment the seed of Truth, present in every human being but unactuated in most, starts to sprout its new growth.
The most liberating moment in my own life was the very day I made the choice to stop being a victim and took 100% responsibility of my life. I have chosen the life I have; therefore, I can choose the life I want.

To embrace the intelligences of Open Mind, Open Heart, and Open Will, indeed three levels of deeper awareness.
Open Mind allows us to recognise our own taken for granted assumptions limiting assumptions and beliefs, often from our past and begin to hear and see things not evident before.
Open Heart enables us to feel beyond the mind, and
Open Will, that capacity to recognise what I/We must do, even when we don’t' quite know 'how' to yet.
All three are vital and necessary to support us in our journey our limiting horizons

Creating confidence after having made lots of painful experiences isn't easy. The ego and its power are manipulative, even on a very constant as stable base. However I, You, We, All's tool is the determined internalization of wonderful aspects of life!

Perspective and attitude are everything.

Only what is right, accentuate the positive.

Finding the good is not always easy, but it's always there. I believe in looking for that speck of light, even on dark days.

No matter what you are looking at, you can find something wrong with it, something imperfect, and something that is not okay with you.

There is also something 'right' with everything.

No matter what you are looking at, you can find something right with it, something perfect. There remains, then, only one question: What are you going to look at, and choosing to notice in your perspective?

It’s all about perspective...we can find anything we look for, it has to do with what our reflection is... What we feel about self in that moment.

The only real problem with our world is we see our world as a problem. Nothing compares with the power of designing the life I want to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to focus on the "rights" notice the "goods" and the "strengths" my perspective is positive. As far as understanding and compassion when I see the imperfections, I offer that as well, to the best of my ability. Staying and remain true to ME.

Ask a negative person for their opinion...they'll point out all the imperfections for you...keep a positive attitude friends...wear your positive attitude like a shield around you...protecting you from the negative attitudes that you encounter.

Is the glass half full or half empty?
