people creative action
If action is possible or necessary, your action will be in alignment with the whole and supported by creative intelligence, the unconditioned consciousness which in a state of inner openness you become one with. Circumstances and people then become helpful, cooperative. Coincidences happen. If no action is possible, you rest in the peace and inner stillness that come with surrender.
challenges action moments
Challenges are something that can only be tackled in the present moment and require action.
action consciousness inseparable
Future success is dependent upon and inseparable from the consciousness out of which the actions emanate
action enjoy turns
The peace that comes with surrendered action turns to a sense of aliveness when you actually enjoy what you are doing.
action moments empowered
When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of life itself.
spiritual action spiritual-power
As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.
listening looks action
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
mean action infinite
As you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change.
events action accepting
By learning to accept the small things immediately as they happen, you can be free of having to react to things at all. You still can respond when action is needed, but you can be free, internally, of events.
people going-with-the-flow action
"Going with the flow" is for some people an excuse for not taking action and it refers usually to one's life situation.
peace action accomplished
Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
accept carries change complain invariably leave necessary negative power situation speak speaking taking
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
animal levels guardian
I call animals "guardians of Being," especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.
spiritual creativity joy
The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.
