Musings on Awareness

In order to become aware you must first be able to control your thoughts.
Awareness is simply the act of waking up.
Through the knowing that all beings and all things are sacred you can discover within yourself the light and grace of pure awareness.
Merge your awareness with the in breath and the out breath as though they are waves in the ocean. Inhale on the crest of the wave and exhale on the trough - allowing your consciousness to become the ocean.
By being aware of the ego one can realize and observe all attachments but at the same time not be attached.
When you see the formless in the form, the nameless in a name, the personality behind the impersonal and God in everything, your awareness will become pure.
Total awareness is knowing you are more than a mind and a body.

Musings on LIfe

Labels are the social roles we play in life, they are not what we are.

People are anxious to "improve" situations and other people but are not willing to improve themselves.

If you are alive, your mission here on earth is not over.

Once you have inner peace, you have found the ultimate teacher.

There are more people in the world you can trust than there were yesterday, but not as many as tomorrow. The same is true for liars.

Musings on the MInd



How can the mind perceive something that made it?




To improve the mind we should meditate more and think less.


BRAIN FIBERS

If I keep thinking I know everything, and pretending that I am able to answer everything - I will continuie to live in a dream and never really know anything.

Don't believe everything your mind tells you.

Musings on Meditation

The power of meditation is only as effective as the meditator's ability to focus on an object.

There is no need to try and explain reality with words, concepts, ideas and beliefs.
Simply exist in its stillness and experience it.

Don't intentionally think. Be able to recognize thoughts and let them go.

Close your eyes so you may see.

Musings on Wisdom

Wisdom begins by asking.

The wise person knows he knows nothing.

When you meet a wise person it is best to ask, not tell.

Musings on the Universe

The universe looks like a physical, mechanical system, but is it?

You and I are not dualities but a single union of power and grace within the universe.

The universe is like an infinite, multidimensional spider web capturing and relaying various
densities of energy.

The universe, from infinite smallness to infinite largeness is in all of us, there is no exception.
However, it takes opening up to that fact to recognize it.

Your mental imaging can link you with the cosmic mind beyond space and time and allow
you to experience something that the five senses can never do.
