spontaneous realization

It is an illusion that Awakening is a long, arduous, nearly unattainable thing/state reserved for the monks and those who sit hour after hour on a pillow.

This is not truth.

Awakening is merely being deeply present, in this moment.

The long practice to suddenly become __________  (fill in the blank: clear enough, wise enough, disciplined enough, old enough, pure enough) and then you can awaken.....this is not true.

This makes an assumption that you have to clear, wise, disciplined, pure, etc in order to be 'there.' When 'there' is merely you. There isn't a way. You are the way itself.

Awakening, then, can be spontaneous, it is not bound by time or effort.  In fact, it is an effortless effort.

Awakening changes how you experience other experiences. You are not separate. You are awareness itself. And also, you.

Today, call me myth buster. 
For those who would want you to believe you must watch the breath. Or sit. Or pray. Or do yoga. Or work with a teacher. Or do anything. Well, love to them. That is their way, a way.

Only you can can know your way, since you are the way. Which may lead you to watch the breath, sit, or pray, or do yoga, or work with a teacher. Or none of those.

View all these words as invitations. As possibilities. But none are the way. You are the way itself. And your own intuitive compass not only leads you, but already is the awareness itself. I believe the best teachers guide you into this. But your best teacher is your own intuition - "inner teacher."

What if you drop expectation that awakening is long, or hard, or must be done a certain way? What if you drop the expectation that it will happen some other time? What if the time is simply now? Then you synch into and become awareness and experience of the moment. You open yourself for the spontaneous realization in any experience....even reading this....here I am, ahhhh,.....
here I am, aware, noticing words.......letters.......the screen....... the computer.......the internet cable......myself reading..... the writer.......millions of people reading this moment......what is aware of this....I am.....

what to say when intuition merges into everything

Been a silent story teller as of late. Been a time of stillness and beauty.

Honestly, the themes of the stories in this whole blog are really changing with the Shift happening since October 2009.

I just don't experience intuitions the same way. Everything feels like intuitive awareness, all the time. I used to want to be off, or on. Now I just am. So this blog needs a new focus.

Sure, there are still knowings and stories and surprises, too. Had some phenomenal insights about protection and feeding on all types of energies in the universe. But that story is for another time.

Right now, I'd like to simply share that intuition is just a natural state. I owe all my ability to shift to the intuition I so trust. So yeah for the stories and learning. And now I surrender to simply, sweetly just being me without so much separation between intuition and thoughts and me and spirit.

Ahh. The absence of drama and presence of just what is. It's beautifully refreshing even as things change so rapidly. As my inner life changes, my outer life is aligning with it. Me likes. Me thinks I'll go be silent some more.

guest post: The Way by Sara

This guest post brought to you by Sara after a visualization as Essence during mentoring.

Here I am.

Sitting in potential.

I can see the space between the space!

What I want is already here!

In potential. It exists.

 

I AM potential.

There is no end and no beginning.

It is vast and yet all ONE.

So much space……So much potential!

 

Flowing, glowing, moving, yet still.

It is peaceful here in the Awareness.

Nothing I need.

It's all here.

 

I can see all that I want...

joy, happiness, health...

I can see this potential as if it's already here!

For me, for you, for everyone.

 

I am Potential. Is this The Way?

Yesssssss……

A seeker of peace where peace is already here.

Where everything humanity needs is already manifested,

and simply needs to be seen.

 

The Way is a way of seeing……

Seeing potential. Feeling it….

BEING the space in between.

The invisible piece of potential.

 

Where am I now?

I am Peace.

I am Harmony.

I am Bliss. I am HERE!

 

And there she sits...I can see her.

Like a tiny sparkle of delightful sugar sprinkle

in the midst of pure potential.

So sweet, so eager, so hopeful...

 

Ahhh...

What bliss it is to be in The Way.

Aware of ALL that is.

Like the shaman's say: heaven on earth.

 

Work your magic little sprinkle!

Illuminate the space between the space,

the invisible in between the visible…

and let it be seen!

 

Use your crystal wand and make the medicine!

Share the sweet sugar sprinkles

that feeds all of humanity's pure potential.

Then, taste the sweetness.

 

Guide them to the space between.

What do they see?

Do they see the space in between?

Do they feel the endlessness?

 

Will they see?

…..and then back to me.

Here I am.

Sitting in pure potential.

 

I can feel it around me,

connecting me with all there is.

All realities. All potentialities.

Here I am. Ready.

Many are awakening. Thanks, Sara, for capturing the wordless... and for your beautiful spirit... and for helping others into their luminousness.
