Awareness Now

Thank you Michael for requesting this conversation. Many people are out of meaning work these days. Don't feel alone. Focus on what really matters...contributing to others with whatsoever that special gift yours is. THAT will make the most difference for other people. You work is a holy gift, an expression of gratitude for being here with the gift of life you have been given.

An episode even I have been waiting to create ever since a listener asked about a specific problem. The area of sex and death are massive, worth many lifetimes of exploration. In a half hour or so we look at it from an angle that might be surprising if practised. Enjoy where it brings you.

If there is pressure in our lives, we are growing...just look at a fourty pound chicken!

We all envision something for ourselves that is not yet reality for us. As soon as we do this, IT is there and we are here, there is distance. We use our eyes and our minds wrongly, keeping things as they are or we use our eyes and minds in a way that assists us in materializing our dreams. This conversation takes a look at accelerating the process, and, how we get in our own way.

What we focus upon we move towards, attract, and grow. If we focus on bricks in our way, we have more bricks in our way. Sometimes all we can wee with our eye is bricks, walls, barriers to what we want. As long as we put our eye on this, this is what we will have. Let it be our aim to assist each other to put our focus on what works for a worthwhile future.

We are going on a meditation now where we imagine self as a field. What nourishment is in our field and what is unable to grow in it. What is already coming from our field? What would we like to have springing forth from it ? Be ready to do some writing afterwards if you are so inclined.

Here we go on a ride to separate who we are from what we still carry around with us, what can get in the way of producing the results we want, and what happens when we go about our day with too much time on our hands devoted to honoring the chatter of a dinasaur. What it will take to consciously create every moment?

We are up to 300 listeners. Oregon emailed to suggest creating groups of a few friends to listen and then get together and share where some of these conversations and meditations are making a difference. Also, if we can hit 300 we can hit 1000...invite some more friends on board this little ship.

In this moment we look at one thing we do to survive. Unlike the hawk, a blade of grass or fruit tree, we have to know how, figuring things out, defending, be right. Imagine the impact this has on other human beings doing the same thing we are all the time and for nothing.

What in the world would we do without some form of scripture to follow? Is it working for us or are we working for it? What is one form of scripture we all seem to agree on without any question or concern?

As human beings we only have a few developed senses, yet we go through most of our day as if what we percieve is all there is. Let us get curious about what else could be going on beyond our limited sensory organs.

Playing the same song over and over or learning new songs. Which ones are you singing? Are we subjecting others to our same old song and are they singing along?

Meditation on a special perspective. One that is with you all the time, yet one that is rarely if ever experienced at all. Let us go over this meditation until we see it clearly. Once we do, it will never be forgotten. Once we do, how will we use it for our living and for those around us?

The things that are closest to us, our voice, manner, way of being, smell, our name, our bodies, eyes, the way we talk and form words and move our faces...have become so familiar that we are no longer the creator of ourselves. Are we willing to be so present and aware that nothing escapes us?

We are going to use the common biblical theme of Genesis to explore waking up, separating real from unreal and touching on what now-ness is. In the begining there was the word, then Light and Dark. There are estimations that the world may be in the dark right now, grovelling aimlessly in the unreal. Let us turn on the light while the human experiment can still reach the light switch.

When you have come to a dead end you must remember where it was you meant to go. This meditation may spark your memory.

Here we touch on an area of relationships that causes so much suffering. Are we willing to surrender to another? Are we willing to not know another? Are we willing to drop all expectations and demands of our beloved and allow liberation to come in?

Today we notice the many different conversations we have with our self which take hold of us. Which one to honor?

A look at the things we chase after. After all, what is nourishing and fulfilling?

You may have been meditating for many years now, however, this might just be a new view of the same island from a different airplane...or it may be atotally new island. Enjoy!
