Attachment and disappointment

Posted on by

The depth of your suffering indicates the intensity of your attachment.

“Disappointment is always a reminder that you’re still attached to something. Take that disappointment as opportunity to investigate and awaken.”
~Ezra Bayda~

The secret of life is to experience it fully. When we close ourselves off out of anger, fear, disappointment or frustration, we limit our ability to discover something new. Look for exciting ways to show love and kindness. Share your light in such a way that it transforms the vision of those around you.

Participate without attachment. The willingness to seek the lesson ensures that you will always find one. Act with integrity, do your best, and accept what is with the knowledge that your soul knows exactly what it is doing. Everything in your experience serves a unique purpose on your journey of awakening.
Today my intention is to trust the flow of life.

Self expression

Articulation solidifies the truth of your beliefs.

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.”
~Kahlil Gibran~

Old souls need to teach a certain amount of people before they leave the planet. This allows articulation of one’s insight and beliefs learned on the journey of transformation. There will be times when you may discover that it’s challenging to utilize mere words to explain your perception of the infinite. These are the moments that we teach by example.

With each transition to higher states of consciousness the Divine sends someone to you specifically for this purpose. Live your truth and bless those who demand that you be consistent and authentic. This anchors each new layer of spiritual understanding.

All of us share the same journey of awakening. As Ram Dass once said, “We are all just walking one another home.”
Today my intention is to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity.

Thrive, awaken, participate

Be courageous and dream a new world into being.

“…Realize that your dream is fueled by the passion of the soul rather than the will of your ego and find a way to act courageously before the day ends.”
~Alberto Villoldo~

Seek to expand your ideas, dreams and behavior. Honor the sacred path of your souls awakening by taking one conscious action today. What do you wish to create? What can you do to bring that energy into your experience? Small consistent actions add up to powerful transformation. Begin now.

When we first begin to observe our thoughts and words, it can be surprising to discover how often they destabilize our precious balance. We activate the power of the soul by re-framing old limitations and focusing on the gift, the goal and the potential within the present moment.

Our role is to engage life from the level of soul rather than the level of mind. Our lives are epic journeys of spiritual maturation and courage is born of the willingness to walk forward with faith. Trust your inner wisdom and know that you are an empowered participant in the collective awakening of the planet.
Today my intention is to look at life as a journey of discovery and growth.

Cherish the moment

This moment is beautiful. And precious. And gorgeous.
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have Make the Now the primary focus of your life.”
~Eckhart Tolle~
Are you blissful? Rather than trying to fix what is “wrong” in order to bring greater joy into your life experience, choose to go deeper into the joy of the present moment and watch the positive changes that naturally begin. Cultivate the rightness. Don’t fight illness, just try to be healthy.

The inner processes of awakening call upon us to become conscious of how we utilize our energy. You direct the flow with your thoughts and attention. Focus on the beauty and it becomes more apparent and easier to access. This is the very obvious difference between cursing and bemoaning the darkness or simply choosing to turn on a light.

Rejoice in the beauty that surrounds you. Become enchanted and fall madly in love with life. In that state of blissful awareness you’ll discover that even when all seems chaotic, all is well.
Today my intention is to follow my bliss.

The doorway of perception

Your level of consciousness determines how you view the world.

“Realize that the feeling we need fixing is predicated on the belief that we are broken. That belief is just another thought.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Memories, judgments and opinions create blockages in your experience. They reflect the programming that your experience of life has presented via imprints and upbringing, societal consciousness, advertising, spiritual and political ideology.
If we were to remove all titles (which carry all sorts of implied and “accepted” truths) and just experience what is without a filter limiting the experience, we’d see life from a myriad of viewpoints. We rarely see things as they are: we see things as we are.
Awakening is the systematic removal of limited perception. When you look at a flower or a tree, notice the minds tendency to name it rather than experiencing it with your senses. Take a moment to breathe in it’s presence, let your eyes take in each detail, feel the texture and listen to its message. The infinite is all around you, and within you. Listen without words.
Today my intention is to see clearly.

Something amazing is about to happen

Posted on by

There is always far more happening on your behalf than you realize.

“Staying open to the groundlessness of not knowing where to turn or what is right is a stepping-stone into clarity and truth.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Explore your relationship with existence. Breathe, and feel the connection between you and everything. Live expansively, and as you watch the magic of life unfold, trust will be the natural by-product.

It’s important to remember that we live in an infinite universe. Even the slightest shift in consciousness and awareness can bring amazing possibilities into the light.

Ultimately, love is the goal. Life will present whatever circumstance or lesson that is most appropriate for your souls growth. Your journey is unique and you are supported and guided each and every step of the way. With this in mind, seek the gift or the lesson that resides at the core every life experience. Know that you are safe and right where you need to be.
Today my intention is to be willing to accept a miracle.

The fires of transformation

Our true nature is connectedness and love.

“The path to love requires open-hearted attention to the very things that seem to block our way to it.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Acceptance makes transformation possible. This is a world of contrasts: hatred teaches the power of love, solitude teaches the joys of connection, endings create space for new beginnings.
Rather than fighting perceived evil and negativity, seek to transform them. When you resist something, you empower and strengthen it. Our job is to create a space in which a transformation can occur, and only love has that power.
Cultivate the art of detached compassion. Become a conscious observer rather than getting drawn into collective drama and upheaval. Authentic growth calls upon us to experience both sides of an emotional equation in order to learn how to be neutral.
Allow your life to be your message. If you seek peace, become peaceful. If you wish to be heard, listen. All transformation begins within.
Today my intention is to remember that I am responsible for my own experience. I choose acceptance, kindness and compassion.

Learn by teaching

Everyone and everything plays a role in our spiritual development.
“A true teacher wants nothing more than to see you stand on your own two feet.”
~Ezra Bayda~
On the Path of Transformation, solitary practice is an important part of our development. We learn to walk in our truth and find our unique way of being in the world.
Powerful too, is the heart-focused connection discovered within a group of like-minded individuals. The synergy created within group energy transforms and accelerates the growth of all those who are actively involved. When used consciously, group energy expands us into new dimensions and you can help to uplift and nourish the spiritual journey of others.
Meditate, chant and pray with those who resonate with your being. The combined intention and synergy has the power to lift the entire group into a new frequency. For those of you who are natural leaders, allow yourselves to participate without exercising control and receive the blessings generated by the group energy as well.
Our spiritual knowledge must be articulated in order to be fully incorporated into our experience. Thus, we discover the power of sharing with others. Each of us simultaneously plays both roles – student and master.
Balance your journey in the way that is best for you. Spend a healthy amount of time in solitude, connect with those who support your walk and share what you have learned. There are always new dimensions waiting to be discovered and the best is yet to come.
Today my intention is to be an authentic example of unconditional love and acceptance.

Accept yourself

Posted on by

Begin all transformation by loving yourself.

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
~Lao Tzu~

Our cultural imprinting teaches that something is missing. Many feel pressured to look or be a certain way, and indeed we have entire industries dedicated to ensuring a subconscious (or not so subconscious) belief that we are flawed. Because of this, many seek to transform their experience because they do not like a particular aspect of themselves or their life; however, when we approach change in this way, we actually reinforce the perceived negative circumstances to remain in place.

Take it to a higher dimension. When you choose to operate from a place of love and acceptance, your actions have greater power and momentum. It becomes easy to release old patterns and explore one’s relationship to life in a healthy and enlightened way.

Let your choices be a tribute to your unique way of being in the world. See yourself as a living expression of the Divine. Your words and actions will then be a peaceful and empowered reflection of the love you have for yourself.
Today my intention is to be truly open to life.

Create a loving world

Your experience of the world is a reflection of your level of consciousness.

“Spirituality is not the practicing of any virtue; spirituality is the gaining of a new vision. Virtue follows that vision; it comes on its own accord. It is a natural by-product. When you start seeing, things start changing.”
~Osho~

Billions of people are currently sharing the planet. They represent all walks of life, beliefs, soul ages and spiritual awareness. We tend to attract those who share our vibration as part of our journey of awakening; however, it’s important to cultivate an understanding of other levels of consciousness – this leads to compassion.

Ones level of consciousness determines their experience of the world. For instance, someone vibrating at the level of Fear will see life as frightening – there is never enough, others are out to take advantage and believe it’s important to protect what you have at all costs. Conversely, someone who vibrates at the level of Willingness will see opportunity everywhere. They open to others with an expectation of joyful expression, are willing to try new things and are genuinely interested what life has to offer.

Observe what you allow into your mind and consciousness. Pay attention to the words you choose to use. Make a purposeful decision to fill your day with the higher vibrations of Neutrality, Gratitude, Willingness, Acceptance, Love and Joy and you will see those attributes consistently reflected in your life experience.
Today my intention is to live with an enlightened heart. This moment is a gift to be savored.
