Consciousness is fluid and innocent. It flows where ever attention takes it. The mind is the lens that focuses the flow of that attention, making it an incredibly powerful instrument, the engine of Creation. The engine is so awesomely fascinating we’ve deified it. Decarte’s dictum “I think, therefore, I AM” anoints the mind with godhood, enslaving Consciousness in a prison of lies.
I am currently having days of less structure, no set schedule. The only obligations I have are to mySelf. Presence becomes even more of an issue. The so-called future is undefined, unknowable. My illusion of knowability has been exposed for the fearful liar it is, the monkey mind that creates havoc where there is none and replaces serenity with drama. As I travel deeper into uncertainty, the preciousness of Now becomes even more apparent, and more sacred.
I feel my self to be in a Fertile Void of Expectancy. I don’t know what is going to happen when, nothing’s happening currently, there’s a void, yet it seems pregnant with possibility, and if I AM capable of using the engine of Creation to maintain an up-lifted, positive expectancy, I will have a great time and everything will work out smoothly and effortlessly.
Dr. Joe Vitale shared with me The Optimist’s Code. I’m passing it along. Great way to live.
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the world is on my side as long as I AM true to the best that is in me.
Hi James,
As you have taught me, the only certainty is that life is uncertain! That is such a blessing!
Writing these daily notes is more important to the world than you can imagine! You have the potential to reach far more people that need to know this than you ever could one on one counseling alone.
What you have learned in your life quest is vital! It’s a fantastic way for the regular person to attain spirituality; peace within & without, a conscious connection to all that is & will ever be, to find unconditional love in this lifetime & to be able in turn to share that knowledge with others!
I read & re-read your notes constantly. They are giving me valuable tools & insights into becoming a spiritual being; which has been an undefined-until-now goal since childhood.
I thank-you with all that I AM for taking the time to write these Notes. For being a Spiritual Leader & for working actively to promote change in us all.
You could always take your Notes & add them to your book. I have, I just place them at the end in the same order as you write them.
I am so honored to know you James! I am waiting to see what new journey Presence will take you on & anticipating the chance to accompany you through your Notes.
Always,
Kati Q.
Thanks for the great info ! I hope more of us find the power within to make ceahgns today. I see addiction to bad habits, but we should wake one day and really be the best that we can be. We are not even close to what we could be. Of course it is so easy to not do everything for your health, no work, no thinking, no planing, no searching, no trying to improve anything in ourselves; it is much easier to live in a chaotic unconscious way, do whatever whenever, but health needs work attention.
I needed to compose you the very small word so as to give many thanks as before considering the pleasant basics you have contributed here. It has been quite extremely open-handed of you to provide openly all a lot of people would have marketed for an ebook in order to make some money for themselves, mostly since you might well have tried it in case you wanted. Those inspiring ideas as well served to become great way to recognize that other individuals have the same dream the same as mine to realize more with respect to this condition. I know there are lots of more pleasurable periods up front for individuals that view your site.
