Captured Moments

Often, we are not aware we can consciously, actively make a choice to become more consciously aware of life, ourselves or others through greater CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF! We may think what our mind, emotions and body tells us is the extend of our choices.  Maybe we think we can choose our foods, our liquids, our clothes, our home and our friends but we can't choose to open our minds and hearts to more. The truth is, we can! The most basic first step to this process is to aspire to have our own hearts and minds open.  Aspiration involves Spirit and our Higher sense of Self.  Aspiring to know the Truth, helps bring in the people, places and opportunities to face what is false about our selves and our lives.  It is like the flow of a stream that begins to break open the old walls and bring in the new pathways forward!  It might appear like too much of a good thing that appears chaotic, untamed, immeasurable and over-the top but it is actually holding within it, the c...

If we can stand back from all that is unfolding in our world, we can begin to see the beginnings of a new era, starting in the US. If we simply look through inner eyes, we can see that a re-balance of energy is happening in the world.  One species, one sex, one color and one nation has dominated much in the world for a long time.  Our current world reflects that on many levels. The shift that is occurring now strongly indicates a new era is happening for the good of all living things.

Their image reinforces the old standard by which much of the world has been run!  However, there is a growing number of people that do not fit that image who are gaining in strength and number to give voice to something else.  The question is w...

When we hold on too tight to the past in our minds, we are effectively still in relationship with it.  If we had a job, for example, that took up our entire life and, despite the fact the job has ended, if we still continue with the habits, routines and behaviors we did when we had that job, we are effectively still playing it out in our mind.  We still have a mental attachment to our past work self, too. We are still in relationship to that self that had that job. If we used to have a relationship with someone special and they are still on our minds often, we are still in relationship with them too.  Perhaps we still nurture a strong memory of a place or any old identification of our self that lived there, then we are still in relationship with it.   If these attachments aren't allowed to be reviewed and discarded by the very mind that is holding onto them, we cannot free up space enough to welcome in any new opportunities, relationships or places.  Grati...
