Knowing how little we know is extremely important. Why? Because there will always be something new to learn. There are new experiences to be had. New people to be met. How many languages do you speak? Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand?
What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique. I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different. We likely are wearing different clothing. What we eat will vary. Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details. All
Is there an albatross around your neck? What does that even mean? First, the albatross has been a sign of good luck to sailors for centuries. As such, killing one is considered to be bad luck. In the old poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, because the narrator killed an albatross, his fellow sailors made him wear it around his neck. As such, it references the notion that you have a burden weighing you down.
I am holding onto a lot of conflicting emotions that do not serve me. There is a great deal of anger, resentment, fear, and other negative feelings built up inside me. Even after all this time, knowing like I do that consciousness creates reality, like attracts like, and low vibe draws more low vibe, I am holding onto exactly what I do not need. The conflicting emotions originate from a few different places. All of them are my own reaction
What is reality? Wiser men and women than me have been pondering this question for almost as long as we came down from the trees. But for our everyday purposes, reality is this moment. Reality is the world we experience, here and now. Much of what we consider reality is, however, an illusion. Even brilliant scientist Albert Einstein told us this: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” But what does that mean? Simply put our individual
“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement. At our core we are beings of pure energy. The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter? Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present
I need to empower my reality. Every week I write about how consciousness creates reality. I get into detail, and explore the various ways in which this works. This is something I have been developing and exploring for many years now. The grand idea behind this is the Law of Attraction, the idea that like attracts like. When we take our thought, power it up with feeling, then use that to act intentionally, we do the work to manifest reality
Lost days happen from time to time. There were plans. Ideas were plotted out. And then, things happened…and before I know it the day has flown by. It’s after five, and everything I have planned out hasn’t come to pass. Then, just to add a little more fun to it for my own entertainment, I have been struggling with writing this post. Before I get annoyed, or start along a downward spiral, it’s important to acknowledge that lost days will
Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality. The actual, factual place where anything exists. Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.
I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread. It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this? What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days. What
