Suffering is the difference between what is and how you think things should be. That’show powerful those “shoulds” are in your life! Happiness is what happens thatmoment we resign being the manager of everybody else’s lives, and start allowingeveryone to be the intelligent God-being they already are. It’s the calming lovingtrusting experience of simply being what it is, knowing it’s ALL perfect and divineexactly the way it is right now. This is the first step to transcending all sufferingcurrently happening in your life.

As long as you’re identified with the ego, there will be some experience of suffering. Sothe journey now is all about how to enjoy (or transcend) the suffering so it has no gripon you! Sure inside you is the most peaceful and powerful energy in the entire

Universe. Yet if you’re all wrapped up in how things should be, then how can you relaxenough to find it? The ability to be at peace in the midst of a suffering moment is theart of non-attachment and non-avoidance.

You can find pure joy in ANY situation by placing your attention on the center of yourbeing. In this space there is always a river of peace. Inner peace cannot be cultivatedby force, burning desire or even the act of will. It is not even an attitude or adisposition. Inner peace is our essential nature. It happens by relaxing deeply insideand being with what is. When you practice this, you won’t ever have to struggle to findinner peace again!

Imprisoned No More

Here is one of my favorite stories I just had to share with you.

This is a story of a man who became a prisoner for some misdeed that angered theKing of his particular country. He was arrested and shut up in a dungeon beneaththe castle. A ferocious-looking jailer carrying a long key escorted the man downa dark stairway. The door of the cell was opened, and the man was thrust into adark hole. The door shut with a bang, and there he was.

He lay in that dark dungeon for twenty years. Each day the jailer would come,the big door would be opened with a great creaking and groaning, a pitcher ofwater and a loaf of bread would be thrust into the cell and the door closedagain.

After twenty years the prisoner decided that he could not stand it any longer.He wanted to die but he did not want to commit suicide, so he decided that thenext day when the jailer came he would attack him. The jailer would then killhim in self- defense, and thus his misery would be at an end.

mind set aside, you'll notice there is this sense of great trust in the entire Universe.That everything truly is perfect exactly as it is. From this place we can relax deeplyenough to get access to the innermost core of our being. The core is where weexperience ourselves as divine, and can know our connection with an all-powerfulintelligent energy that is already helping you manifest everything you desire.

We are already magical manifesting beings who simply have been conditioned andprogrammed by parents, siblings, schools, teachers, T.V. and media, to think we're notthat powerful and don't have the power to manifest anything at any moment. Since theyare asleep to this knowledge, and we only teach by example, every human beingbecomes lost in the illusions and beliefs of others. We are deeply unaware of this greatSource emanating within our very being. Habitually distracted by our thoughts, weconstantly are getting lost in a vast sea of things, people past and future concepts andmemories. Yet we have not totally forgotten the possibility of a greater power, we arejust remembering how to access it. Hint: It exists at your innermost core.

This core of our innermost being is an infinite dive in. It is also the most sacred andawesome thing to "do" in this Universe. The Source of you is what gives YOU life, itbreathes life into us, and is the source of all enjoyment, pleasure and freedom fromsuffering. It is what you really are without the continuous mind-chatter. When we trulyexplore and let go of EVERY thought that arises, we simply experience THIS uniqueeternal expression of our being. The result is that we realize we are free from allsuffering, and always can be.

Now this experience doesn't happen by thinking about it in the future, in fact is just theopposite, it's about releasing thinking and relaxing into our being. It's not through ourheads but our hearts that we experience enlightenment. The Shakti Energy (yourcosmic creative energy) rushes in when we let go of using our brain to become it, andrelax our body into all of who/what we are right now.

Once we consciously choose to release our habitual "rush-rush-lets'-get-there-now-lifestyle" we have no concept of time and thus have to relax into the core of ourinnermost being. Think about how everyday you push and pull against time. Withcertain ideas, people, situations, money, jobs, and relationships...etc the list goes on.How big is your list of "what's in it for me?" What is that consciousness like? Does ittruly get you satisfied? We used to thinking "How can I get MORE...." so much thateven when our desires get met we are pleased just momentarily.

So what's a better way to become enlightened? Try on this question..."How can Icontribute?" to your life, your joy, your love and help YOU get what YOU want? This is

the law of like attracts like, I help you, I get helped. It's the law of attraction, which isthe Universal law of manifesting. What you have to contribute to this world resides inthe innermost core of your being.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*What does it feel like to release that, "Let's get my goals achieved ON TIME mode" andmove into the present moment of what is my experience of this moment...right now?When we are simply here, the blissful peace and a magical stillness arises within ourvery being. When the mind is silent, not asking but receiving life, the Shakti energy hasno-where else to go but into you, because you are now-here.

You can "maintain" the deep stillness inside for several weeks, months or even years,depending on how much internal mental and emotional negative thinking habits you'vestopped analyzing and repressing on the inside, and started letting them fully go asthey arise. By abiding in this space of stillness inside, something magical occurs alongthe way. You start seeing your dreams and desires become manifested before yourvery eyes. By staying present to the now, paying close attention to the innermost coreof your being, watching the mind play out its drama, and not being attached to thescenes you become an exotic master of your life.

The twisted truth of reality is that you simply cannot NOT manifest. Once you realizethe redundancy of what your mind has been trying to achieve by strategizing,analyzing and working way to hard, you let go relax into your core, and see thepowerful manifestor you already are. The truth is that everything in your life youmanifested on some level. Whether you like your life or not is your choice ofperception and attitude towards it. What we all need is to set aside those negative fearbased thoughts sending our bodies doubt, worry and skepticism and consciouslymove closer to this place of a quiet mind within ourselves. Once we relax into that softquiet place at our innermost being, we are able to clearly see The Truth of the greaterReality.

Receptivity is your personal effort. You must not try to do anything else,for in fact, you can't do anything else. If we are standing in darkness, and do our partby opening the door, the Light rushes in to meet us. ~Vernon Howard*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

You're imagining something everyday, so why not imagine what you want is alreadyhere? All the problems you have, you imagined them. All the solutions you'll find, you'llimagine those too. All the opportunities you see, from your imagination too! Why notimagine you're a whole and healed human being? What you think, you become. So why

not relax into the knowingness that you are a powerful manifesting being? What couldbe worse...a lie that you're imagining to be reality, or a reality that your imagining to bea lie? Aren't you creating your own interpretation of everything anyway? What do youtruly want to experience? Things are just getting easier for you and better for you eachand everyday. That thought just feels good enough to me.

Here's an exercise for you: In this moment in your body right here and now and lookinside towards where is the source of thought. Where is thought coming from? Keeplooking...do not give up. Eventually you'll connect with it.

Does this place feel more connected to the core of your innermost being? It's whereyou get to shape and redirect the experiences you want to create. What would yourweek look like if you started everyday from this space inside your being that is all-powerful and conscious all the time?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*"What we believe to be true moves through the lens of our mind as livingenergy and becomes the reality of our lives. If we believe ourselves to belimited, we get to be right about that -- but it is not our ultimate truth."~Mary Manin Morrissey*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We are living in a world filled with energy and information that is extremelyimpermanent and constantly changing. Yes, your body, your house, your kids won'tlook the same in 10 years. Not to mention the next 40 years, unless you establish adeep connection with the source of infinite energy inside. Once you do, your body willexist in a state of absolute health and vitality forever...yes forever. Our ancestors didlive to be over 900 years...

The Innermost Source of your being is actually the only thing that is real. Everythingelse is transitory. The mind and its excessive worry-filled imagination was youreveryday reality, yet could change as swiftly into a cosmic consciousness with yournext breath of air. All it needs is a tiny opening in the door of your being. The verymoment your mind has found the source of stillness inside you will know this truth.This innermost core of your being is the final frontier we are here to explore! Check itout, its unlimited potentiality will soon be revealed to you.
