When we tell ourselves things like “I had no choice” or “he had a gun to my head, what was I supposed to do” we give up our power to save that which permits life to our attachment to the sensation of being alive. . If you woke up this morning with a bomb strapped to your chest with a timer and a note that read “you’re going to die unless you kill someone else”, what would you do? . This has long been a a no-brainer for me...I’m most likely dead either way, so why not do the opposite of that being demanded and see if I can thwart the plans of someone trying to make me do something I don’t want to do? . The harsh truth (or the gift of life) is that no matter what choices we make we’re all (eventually) dead either way! . Instead of an external force strapping a tangible bomb to our chest we’re all strapped with an ego creating versions of the story that it imagines are equivalent to death if we let things transpire in certain ways... we all have our own internal gun to the head that, once removed, there is no external force which holds power over our choices . This is what it is to be saved . #choice #choose #decide #life #liberty #joy #happiness #release #letgo #untetheredsoul #transcend #awaken #awakening #woke #wakeup #meditation #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2rjnpFSit/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p8z4uutbn28b

Whether you call it Christmas or just another Tuesday, whatever today is for you, it far exceeds any other day because... . Today is all that’s real; the past are days gone by which echo in the ear of today and the future is but a dream of what today might become Once we label something as ours (i.e. already mine) we immediately count it and disregard it (like children with so many toys this morning) but when we realize this day (and anything that happens in it) is never ours to lay claim to we begin to receive each and every moment as the greatest gift of all . #awakening #awaken #woke #wakeup #goodmorning #love #joy #peace #zen #awareness #meditation #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #meditate #letgo #release #hereandnow #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0LN44lyB4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ay1uxi8x9a0m

There’s nothing more difficult than pulling our thoughts out of the past and keeping them from rushing forward . When we give the gift of our full mental presence (to ourselves and our loved ones) the content of our circumstances drops to the very bottom of the list . Love is felt by experiencing fear, realizing what it takes to overcome it, and showing up no matter how unlikely the odds When we step fully into the now we understand there is very little to be afraid of (here and now), this moment is all there really is, and we demonstrate (rather than telling with a monetary exchange of goods) what it means to be love itself . . #merrychristmas #happyholidays #love #joy #presence #letgo #release #forgiveness #compassion #hereandnow #meditate #meditation #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #awakening #awaken #comehome #eternity #zen #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0GWwtFYod/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lu2a389ibp4d

Fear dictates we believe only our #perspective (on reality) is #reality itself Thus, it demands we eradicate the voice of #opposition rather than seeking #acceptance that #both might be correct In fact, it’s only through the comparison of opposing ideas that any of us are allowed to #choose between thinking “I’m left” or “I’m right” (or really for left and right to even emerge) in the first place . #choice #compassion #letgo #lettinggo #peace #appreciation #appreciate #gratitude #love #selflove #forgiveness #balance #zen #meditate #meditation #highervibrations #higherconsciousness #consciousness #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrxpL4dlreU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1opawl1lvm7u3

For any who may be struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety this holiday season please just breathe (and maybe try to connect/listen with your heartbeat) to realize your body will get you through this; no matter how badly our egos/minds wish for us to think otherwise Our emotions respond to our thoughts, and during this time of year is when most base our thoughts on a mental/physical separation (or full on denial) of the present by desiring that our lives be different than the way they are Mental health is realizing no one is ever mentally healthy, and that all growth requires us to fluctuate between our crazy (irrational) self and our logical self in order to assess and establish all of reality . . #balance #peace #zen #time #relax #justbreathe #yoga #enlightenment #love #selflove #acceptance #letgo #release #relief #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #meditation #meditate #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqYwNxFrMr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3dmgmee3gkzt

Most of us tell ourselves “here we go again” when our loved ones start to tell us a story, thinking “I know this story backwards and forwards”; this year let’s try to treat it like one of those choose-your-own-adventure style books by tuning in extra hard and listening for opportunities to ask questions. In the past I’d glaze over (go unconscious) when relatives would tell me the stories from their lives they feel define who they are the most (which they’ve told me countless times before). This year I plan on trying to use the burgeoning awakening to realize these are the stories we should be paying the closest attention to because they provide the greatest opportunity for us to reflect, receive, and interject with a new (more enlightened) way of seeing/hearing the world (for us and our loved ones). Who knows, hopefully we can turn those old-familiar-tall-tales into something that opens the universe in new ways for us and our loved ones.

Ironically, both methods achieve results by shaping beliefs and gathering collaborators; allowing the vision of a few to become the reality of the many. This truth demonstrates how vital it is to realize and accept that we all pass fleeting judgement on our outer circumstances, and those of others, to allow the choices of life to become known as reality. Understanding this we can accept that we all intuitively hold the entities in power (i.e. that which is providing us the threat of harm or promise of reward) in equal esteem with its choice (of threat or reward) as an assertion of the overall inner-perspective (or the reality they wish to make ours). Said another way; we see those in power as holding a belief that the end they seek is one of two possible future realities; -#Pain (inevitable with an implication/delusion of a sustainable sense of #perfection; seeing as how failure is not an option for us to receive the promise of pain relief), or; -#Pleasure (with the possible implication of acceptance of our imperfections; seeing as how we’ll become hungry once more ...but as long as we try we’ll get to eat!) You see; The threat of pain method (stick) symbolizes a belief that all of life is pain and all any of us can hope for is the avoidance of the retribution of our failures (i.e. maintaining the delusion we all must deliver on the promise of perfection or await the ultimate relief of death). The reward method (carrot) symbolizes a belief in the future being able to relieve our fears (e.g. scarcity and/or survival) thus motivating by relieving us of a current internal pain (a.k.a. #suffering). . . #meditation #meditate #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #awakening #wakeup #acceptance #judgment #ego #self #selflove #release #peace #zen #balance #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYRnwSF8Ea/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qlln1nxdz0hh

Telling those we care for “I’m worried about you” is an act of fear (or doubt) and is the opposite of what we require (faith) to emerge from bleak circumstances higher than we went in. What I call words-of-discouragement are most people’s goto(ego) reaction based on a desire to spread our fears to those we’re attached to (i.e. “me” and “mine” ideas like; my wife, my son, my bff) in order to maintain an illusion of control over the balance of what we think of as right and wrong (or good and evil). Spreading faith is about providing opportunities, becoming curious (asking questions about whatever decisions the individual is making that’s causing our anxiety), and providing a feeling of acceptance, and visibility, of the person as a whole (i.e. the story of wins and losses, the point in the story they are which is currently inciting our fears, AND the pure potential for change and growth; we all are). Worry is simply our ego providing us with a barometer for our faith; it’s only 100% accurate for the pressure we individually feel inside. Relieving the pressure from within (i.e. identifying and releasing our personal attachment to people and things as required and/or permanent) helps us avoid attempting to pressurize the rest of the world when the storms we all experience (in order to know the calm before and after) don’t quite match up. . . #meditation #meditate #mindful #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #ego #self #selflove #selfawareness #awakening #awaken #peace #joy #zen #balance #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYG1SUlANi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dr6nzknohbw2

Believing anything in the universe to be completely knowable (as is the requirement for us to believe in things as part of me and/or mine) we secretly seek to give away our part in the whole of creation by asserting there is something other than our perspective by which the universe is known. However, no matter how much effort we place on passing down our ideas of what a specific aspect of the universe is to be thought of as (e.g. “owned by” or “the property of”) time will forever show us it holds the power to prove us all wrong! Whether we deny it or not... everything in existence (including our perspective) is changing form, breaking down, or evolving into something other than what we imagine it to be from moment to moment Stated another way; for us to believe and uphold that documented proof of a thing’s origin, or provenance, somehow relegates an aspect of existence to an immutable sense of “forever our property” or “ours until we decide to transfer our forever ownership to someone else” we must maintain a delusional denial of time’s presence OR We must believe wholeheartedly that our will alone can somehow halt time’s effects on us by simply getting enough people to agree that it stopped, in relation to said agreement. . . #consciousness #meditation #highervibrations #higherconsciousness #awakening #awaken #wakeup #unconscious #letgo #attachment #ego #self #selflove #knowthyself #release #zen #peace #meditate #mediationquotes #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTRnifAeBJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cpk0kadwkd0a

If you recoil at the thought of death (regarding it as a very unpleasant discussion topic) elevate the peace in your day to day, by seeking to know its acceptance as part and parcel to the overall acceptance of life. . Reframe death as a precious gift, rather than an inevitable aspect of time, by realizing it’s truly the aspect which imbues the rest with scarcity. . Death removes the burden of an unlimited supply of tomorrows, which would ironically block most all of us from ever falling in love with today. Make peace with all thoughts of death (or any fear of being forced to let go of something or someone before you feel you’re ready to do so) by slowly supplanting an inner-fearful-dread with an outer-loving-embrace by reestablishing that the end point is just as required as the beginning because there is nothing else in the universe capable of enabling the feeling of love by making it all fleeting, thus it’s truly required for all preciousness to become known. . #release #letgo #attachment #death #precious #alllifeisprecious #joy #peace #consciousness #higherconsciousness #awakeningprotip #meditation #highervibrations #higherself #selflove #love #meditationquotes #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQxaFCFCzF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fpt0y2ljpe7r

To know ourselves fully is to embrace we’re always equally complete and incomplete when we imagine ourself (or anyone else) as one, the other, and/or both. i.e. we lose touch with the part of us that creates, tells, and consumes the story of #me When we add #attachment to the #judgement required for #life and #living (e.g. identifying with the outcome of drawing any divide, such as; left, right, or what some think of as #higher when believing they seek #enlightenment) we unknowingly embody #condemnation if we’re unable to accept ourselves as both the whole and the divided #self (e.g.the problem and the solution) at all times. True #knowing is #feeling deeply #connected to the fact that #separation enables our individual #perception and is the only way our perception (or #consciousness itself) can know itself as #one. . . #higherconsciousness #higherself #knowthyself #superman #ego #letgo #release #love #compassion #meditate #highervibrations #meditation #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOMzHUltZT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=55y1p39uitsl

After this #phase our ego’s fairydust starts to settle; for most of us, a lifetime of attaching the label of “me” and/or “mine” (to the objects our observation facilitates in creating) reveals the seams of the impermanent reflection staring back at us in the mirror of reality, and we realize any aspect of the inner-permanent #Iam which peers into it... never had any currency (i.e. quantifiable value) attached to it (because it’s the source of value itself). P.S. the more conversation I have with #teenagers about the stuff I’m onto ... I’m starting to bet that it’s about to be a new era in advertising. The #kids of today seem open to suggestions why most #adults twist and contort our faces while no one is even interacting with us (i.e. having our #perception totally lost to the #now; either filled with #doubt over the #choices of tomorrow or lost in regret over the choices of yesterday, ALL based on what we think #shouldbe today ... but isn’t) . #consciousness #higherconsciousness #highervibrations #tothineownselfbetrue #meditation #meditate #letgo #release #compassion #reality #awakening #love #selflove #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BrI5oC6FjgQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=118d398nhp0lz
