Being

If you understand,

Things are just the way they are;
If you do not understand,
Things are just the way they are.

~ Zen Verse

Do You Feel Me?

We are the sensors of the Universe.

Our mission: To be aware of our sensations (to feel)

We are not asked to do anything more but this.

Not only do we feel for ourselves, we also feel for all that we experience. This includes people, animals, plants, rocks, clouds, stars, computer screens, and everything else in existence. Do you feel me?

We are here to bring consciousness into the world.

We are mirrors. As I gaze into the eyes of a being, I help her become aware of herself. We become ourselves. We are just as one as we are all individual. Each one of us are equipped with bodies of unique mental, physical and energetic qualities. Our primary bodily tool: the nervous system. Our thoughts and feelings are not contained in the body or mind. They extend outwards in the form of energetic frequencies. These "waves" spread out and travel infinite distances through time and space. Just as we all transmit we also receive frequencies whether we are aware of them or not. Together, we make up an invisible (though sensible) interwoven system of consciousness.

What is consciousness? By being aware of our sensations as we experience them we are being "conscious". This may extend into being "intuitive". An intuitive or sensitive person is not the same as an overly emotional person. Sensitivity simply means a heightened ability to feel. All sensations are felt in this moment now. We might even imply that as every moment is new, each sensation is new. Though as we try to decipher our feelings into thoughts and actions we often compare new sensations to old ones. We use our memory to decide how to react to a feeling thats happening now. Most of us do this unconsciously. Sometimes it is of benefit, and other times we don't really know what we are missing. When our minds create layers of seemingly uncontrollable reactive thoughts on top of feelings, we loose consciousness. To stay conscious is to stay in the present moment allowing yourself to CHOOSE to either act, react, interact or simply observe a sensation allowing it to pass. In this way, consciousness is a choice; it is choosing with awareness.

We are all creators.

We all have a perspective - that is we have sensual experiences and make choices. We decide what is real and illusionary. One may even decide that everything we experience is a real illusion! Whatever we decide, in every moment, we choose our reality. With perspective we make the world what it is. In other words, we create our reality. The more we use our nervous system consciously, the better we are able to "tune in". By tuning into our own sensations, we become much more effective creators. By tuning into what we call collective consciousness we share creation together. Individual minds are much more productive when they become one. Together, we harness unlimited power to create what we collectively desire. We all have the ability to create joy, love, purpose, meaning, truth, abundance, health and so on. When I experience myself as both an individual and as one, I can hardly help but be a compassionate creator. Do you feel me now?

By reading these words with awareness of the sensations/thoughts that simultaneously occur in the body, we help the world become conscious of them. By feeling, we make the world conscious of itself.

Just remember, there is nothing that is truly demanded of us but to simply be; to do nothing other than to to feel. The rest is up to you.

So there it is.
