Be Where You Are…Not Where You Aren’t

How much are we waiting for the right opportunity or conditions to simply do the right thing or be the right person?

Think about it.

A bigger question: Does humanity allow itself to be tricked into living in a future projection where once this or that is right then we can get busy fulfilling what we’re supposed to be or do?

Yes, of course it does. But how does it affect us?

To the extent we’re putting off right action or conscious living for certain future conditions where we’re being where we aren’t, and not where we are. And that’s nowheresville and makes for a limp, easily manipulated society.

And self.

Fight to Stop Struggling

I’m the first to admit it seems to be tough to get off our butts sometimes and do or be what’s right. It appears to be a continual struggle. We’re all human and have the same battles, trials, tests and temptations.

The really ironic thing is that when we’re struggling we’re missing the point right out of the gate.

When we’re struggling it’s time to get some Zen. Being fully here and now is the objective. But there’s a daily path to this realization.

Obviously there’s a lot we’re not consciously aware of. While it’s good to learn more continually, it’s not what should be our main motivation. Our driving force is spiritual breath. Being as fully awake and aware as possible and experiencing the infinite cosmos to it’s deepest depth one day at a time is our enlightened life. All else will be fulfilled in its time, but nothing is important enough to postpone living consciously.

What that means to each of us individually is our unique experience.

Hence the challenge.

Alignments, Spiritual Conditions and Missing Information

There are conditions outside of ourselves that do affect us. The star and planetary alignments have profound effects, making some difficult to achieve personal changes somewhat easier at certain times. I don’t know about gearing your life according to astrological conditions or psychic sensings, but I have been pleasantly amazed lately how much my life has increasingly followed many of these fascinating aspects as I’ve committed my self to more and more conscious action by following synchronicity.

It goes both ways. Very cool.

I’m very blessed to have several spiritually gifted friends I’ve had the pleasure to become close with and learn from. Their gifts in sensing and reading various aspects of the unseen have wonderfully broadened my horizons and deepened my life. I’ve always been very skeptical about opening myself up to gifted people I didn’t know, but when there’s a bond of love and truth it’s a whole different story.
