Life isn't complicated
Here are 3 keys that have helped me unlock life's complexity.
When these keys (that are already within you) are awakened and activatedyou'll experience just how simple life actually is when you turn down the voice of the inner critic and the outer noise.
1. Awareness
Stop chasing the carrot on the end of the stick.
Realize that there is nothing outside that will ever satisfy within.
Only within satisfies within.
When your awareness shifts to inside instead of out there,
you'll begin to experience life with greater clarity.
The primary vehicle for this awareness is meditation and prayer.
There are other vehicles too,
but
I'm convinced these are the most important and effective.
These are the heads and tails of the coin of pure awareness.
When you get in tune with what's happening within through meditation,
you start to see through your conditioning, patterns, habits, beliefs;
Beyond the foggy contrast of the exterior world, free from what they think.
Awareness enables us to first become clear on who we are, who God created us to be
&
Awareness then helps us get clear on who God is inviting that Being to become.
No one and nothing else has that answer, friend.
Each of us must take ownership of our own Divine connection, life, beliefs, and calling.
And when you orient toward awareness you'll be pleasantly surprised just how quickly God meets you there.
And you'll wonder why you've been wasting your time on all these other voices
when the Divine voice has been patiently, gently, compassionately waiting the whole time.
2. Love
When you become aware, you experience true unconditional love.
In this space of loving awareness, I guarantee that your perspective will start to shift.
When you align with Love, you are less likely to judge yourself, others, or be exclusive and closed minded.
Love invites us to the higher plane of consciousness, to be seated above where Christ is seated.
This is the vantage point of our higher self, our authentic self, our true self.
Decisions then become really easy:
"Does this advance, express, encourage and expand love within and around me?"
Let's do that.
"Does this detract from the expression, encouragement and expansion of love within and around me?"
Let's not do that.
This makes life wildly simple and helps us see that most of our decisions are unnecessarily complicated.
And, if we're honest with ourself, we already know what's best for us and our trajectory in our heart.
In the state of loving awareness, you stop seeking external validation and/or results for your decisions.
You begin to feel the confidence that accompanies trust in your Divine connection with the Source of all creation and the Self that's created in its image and likeness to live, move, and have your being in Love.
3. Service
When we are full, we overflow.
Realizing abundance within you creates the reality of abundance around you.
Selfless service is the natural outflow of pure loving awareness.
Jesus once said, "When I was hungry, did you feed me? When I naked, did you clothe me?"
Those in "spiritual authority" who had the "right beliefs" and religious rhetoric responded,
"We never witnessed you in any of those states or circumstances."
He replied, "If you have done to the least of these, you have done to me."
Essentially he is saying,
"if you understand my message, you'll serve everyone as if they are God in drag."
Life becomes really simple when you serve whoever is right in front of you from the fullness of loving awareness.
The more you integrate this, the more you will witness the complexity of life's problems dissolve.
Peace and blessings, friend.
