It’s Not “What Should I Do?” – It’s “How Should I Observe?”

The question… is not, “what should I do?” The question… is, “how should I observe?” People carry many hang ups here, constantly unsure about their actions, not realizing their own perceived separateness as they wonder how to interact with a world outside themselves.      (this insight was inspired by Jiddu Krishnamurti)

Collectively Me; an Endless Sea

-Poetic Thursday

The human race, caught by surprise. The mystery of what comes, with no reason or why. We are still infants, who struggle to survive. This fight against another, who’s wrong and who’s right.

Submitted Question

Tiger, why is it I get so worked up inside when talking to people I disagree with, or with those who disagree with me? -Aaron B. California

I know the feeling; it’s as if there is tightening around the chest and breathing becomes slightly more difficult. Our . . . →Read the Rest: Adrenaline in Disagreement

Arguments…

All arguments begin with believing in the "should" and "should not."

What is it about the “Argument,” that we find so appealing? For some, we even occasionally get a rise out of watching others verbally dominate another. Why? I wonder if you can see the inherent separation that makes itself known. One feels a certain satisfaction from knowing (or believing) they have risen above . . . →Read the Rest: Arguments…

Scared Shitless, almost. Overcoming Your Fear

Funny Photo Friday at PawUpClose.net.  Share this PAW Daily and received authentic grattitude!

-Funny Photo Friday-

Yesterday, on Facebook I made it known that I went and saw a new scary movie out called, “Paranormal Activity.” This movie is highly touted as being one of the scariest movies ever (yeah, marketing, I know lol).  I myself am not a scary movie fan by any means, and . . . →Read the Rest: Scared Shitless, almost.

Insanity of the Opposed

-Poetic Thursday

Of all that you are against, of all that you oppose, my friend be aware of this insanity that makes the heart close.

It’s an “idea” that you protect, not now, not truth, but only thought; selfishly believing in the “should” and “should . . . →Read the Rest: Insanity of the Opposed

“If Only.” A desire for Control

The internal or verbal statement…”if only,” implies a need or desire for control. It says that life as it presents itself now, is not sufficient or is lacking. If only I won the lottery, things would be better. If only I could change, my life would be more fulfilling. If only I didn’t have . . . →Read the Rest: “If Only.” A desire for Control

Perception; Not Quite Whole

Photo by Julene Jorgensen

When you observe life with fear, you see others, self, and the world around you as lacking something.  As if the way it is, is not sufficient and in serious need of an overhaul.  Granted, you can see love within your desire to fix something, because you care, but at its core there . . . →Read the Rest: Perception; Not Quite Whole

Stop Being a Nazi and Compassionately Love Someone

Can you understand how environmental influence can create behavior that’s out of alignment with compassionate love? Think of the fear and hatred created towards the jews via the influence by the nazi army and other special interest groups, millions of people fell in line and joined the desire to rid themselves of . . . →Read the Rest: Stop Being a Nazi and Compassionately Love Someone

Self Liberation

Maybe life didn’t work out the way you thought it would; spending your time in a routine that constantly waits for tomorrow.  Maybe the liberation we’ve been taught to seek, is merely an illusion that covers the real pain.  If we believe true freedom is the liberty to have physical and personal rights, then . . . →Read the Rest: Self Liberation

Perceived Judgment

When we observe others in what we would perceive as their hardship or pain, be it an addiction or life challenge, I would encourage you to see the lesson as not their identity, but only as a splinter in self.  Meaning… Someone’s life lesson is not who they are, just as our ‘faults’ do . . . →Read the Rest: Perceived Judgment

Gooey Semantics

Take notice of how one persons description of gooey, may differ tremendously from another’s experience with the word.  One may describe it as soft and mushy, while another labels it as gross and repulsive.  Can you honestly define who is wrong?  I consider it a serious matter, when thinking upon the implications in creating . . . →Read the Rest: Gooey Semantics

Times Of…

What I hope for most that you receive in reading these daily emails and post, is a small but significant sense that within you is a greater capacity to love. Love being able to experience peace in times of pain, comfort in times of separation, and acceptance in times of guilt.

Be Awake & Heal Consciousness

Beyond all that we believe we are in danger of, be it environment, government, corporations, or our neighbor, the only life element which needs healed is consciousness.  Because of this truth, there is never a need to fear these external elements, let alone gossip about them.  We tend to cling to these examples because . . . →Read the Rest: Be Awake & Heal Consciousness

Social Limitations

I think what’s difficult for most of us, is we feel as so we are required to play someone else’s game. We feel as though our identity lies beyond the social labels we’re encouraged to cling to. I know for me, this pull can seem very strong. I will say within the game that . . . →Read the Rest: Social Limitations

Collective Family

Deception is a form of withheld Love.  In a world where profit overrides compassionate honesty, how can we ever truly be honest with ourselves when we are a world consumed with competition and gain?  Maybe these ideas of forced separation (competition and gain), comes with a deception that desires for you to forget who . . . →Read the Rest: Collective Family

Contagious Love *Expanded

A contagious sense of love overcomes my heart in this moment.  As I sit upon a hill, I see the city lights below, a display of perception awaiting a meaning.  All that I can ask is that we might collectively choose to see the inherent oneness within all of life.

I ask for humanity sake, we learn to accept others as completely whole.  Let us we come to a point where the fault we see in others, becomes the fault of our own, for we judged in a manner that saw only the separation rather than the obvious need for more love.  Can we end this silly cycle of competition, and accept a cooperation that serves the good of all humanity?



Conditional Fever

Better or worse, can only describe opinion of flavor.   Better am I, than not one who has slumbered. In stillness, there is one, no man can be worse than another. In willingness, I add beauty, equal to the love of a mother.

Collective Success

A world divided against itself, is a consciousness in great need to mature.  When we live in a world where thousands and thousands of children die everyday from hunger, and we complain about trivial differences relating to race, social status, and that which we think we need, this is a clear sign of a . . . →Read the Rest: Collective Success

Falsely Judged – 0104

If you walk through life with an unbending expectation that other people fully accept you as you are, be prepared to find disappointment around every corner. You see, we all have judged; we are all unique in our learning. If we expect others to be where we are, we acknowledge a world were other . . . →Read the Rest: Falsely Judged – 0104

Valid Discovery – 0097

Until we can see each person as completely valid, regardless if we agree with them or not, we will never know true peace; and as we begin to see more clearly, beyond the separateness, we find more opportunities to discover our own true selves and experience more genuine Love; resulting of course, in a . . . →Read the Rest: Valid Discovery – 0097

Uplift Downfall – 0085

What we consider the downfall of others, is simply their perfect life learning opportunity.  To judge it as anything else is an escape from our own opportunities for growth.

We point out the flaws in others because it either brings them down to our level or elevates our selves on an imaginary shelf; this . . . →Read the Rest: Uplift Downfall – 0085

Children’s Discovery

We stunt our children’s capacity to discover themselves; teaching concepts that encourage separateness. Oh how much more they could teach us, if we allowed them to see love (acceptance)  instead of fear (Judgement).
