Mindfulness is a vital practice, and anyone who says different is advocating for self-ignorance, low intelligence, and warlike approaches to the world's problems.
"Greener Pastures" are always "over there" somewhere away from where and what we are being right now. That "Silver Lining" is always behind those dark clouds, seemingly out of reach.
When there is pervasive pain, usually the first thing we do is try to get rid of it, when the healing thing to do is to acknowledge with gratitude where in your body there is no pain.
We diligently seek "answers" when we don't know something, and mistakenly carry over that habit into our spiritual life where there is a whole other thing going on.
A byproduct of consciously connecting with another person or group is the sense of meaningful awe that comes from communicating messages from a space of love and service.
Being is enough. This radical notion flies directly in the face of identity socialization, as it frees us from all definitions and expectations of self.
All energies of any ilk qualify as experience because at some point, they get refined into love for the benefit of all of life, regardless of how "wrong" it seemed at first.
For those of us who have stared into the abyss of this crisis of "seeing", it inevitably leads to a falling away of the illusory constructs of daily living.
There is a relaxing into light and love where you can feel the healing, feel the perpetualness of Source re-assuring the battle-scarred and wounded parts of your life that this is truly home.
Tearing it all down and clearing the land allows for new creations, new, higher ways of being and having, bigger and better ways to be what and who I am.
Unfortunately, the reptilian brain can be manipulated with fear, making us do, think and believe things we wouldn't normally, all with the hope of "reaching safety".
There is something called "grace", that is a sort of "bridge"--that no matter how fearful and deprived we are being, grace always provides a way to lift ourselves out of fear into love, should we choose it.
As infinite spiritual beings, part of us is residing outside of time and space, which could imbue our temporal lives with a sense of being directed by a higher force.
The code of safetyism says that by locking down your life, you are protecting others, and by requiring others you know to lock themselves down demonstrates "social responsibility".
It is the total oneness of life; the sum total of all interactions from microbes to human nations; that is affected by our every act, and more fundamentally, by our every thought.
It boils down to choosing to live in inspiration. It's making the decision to act when inspired, and not giving in to the depravity of procrastination, as there will be no better time than NOW to act on that inspiration.
