Let the Universe Surprise You

“What the Universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting that what you try to manifest.

~Adyashanti~

 

We humans have limited perception. This is by design. Our lack of vision creates an ego-driven desire to understand or achieve more; however, the lesson is actually about learning how to trust.

Our dreams are meant to awaken new experiences and will often prompt us to embark upon roads less traveled. The key is to enjoy the journey and to be open to the changes, soul connections and experiences that flow into our lives.

It’s wonderful to have preferences and goals but far more important to learn how to work toward them without attachment. When we demand that life conform to our dreams and desires, we limit the outcome to only that which our limited perception can imagine. As we learn to approach the journey with a sense of wonder and trust, we create a space in which miracles can occur.

Leave enough room in your experience for the universe to surprise you. There is much more happening on your behalf than you realize and one day, looking back, you’ll see the perfection in it all.

Connecting With the Divine

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
~Ansel Adams~
Each of us must find our own way to connect with the Divine. Life is a process of experimentation… we play, explore, create, study and revere, and yet, the miracle of connection cannot be forced. We simply find the key in the present moment, open the door and cross the threshold of awareness to new levels of consciousness.
When you discover what opens your heart, honor that movement of energy by giving it consistent attention. Let your world be informed by the formless while you allow compassion and love to flow through you into all that you do.
You bring something beautiful to the world. The more profound the experience, the more words will cheapen it; therefore, learn to be comfortable with silence. You can walk the earth with a gentleness that speaks volumes while enjoying your conversation with the mystery. Your life will be your message.
This is the moment of transformation. Begin small. Be authentic. Seek your bliss… and manifest it into the world of form.
