We are all Buddha's. Even if you have no desire to become a Buddhist or follow that path, within your heart lies the buddha. It is your enlightened state of awareness and consciousness, and we can live from an enlightened place no matter what path we choose to follow.

No need to fear...

Don't be afraid. You needn't slay the beast or scale the entire mountain. That's not how it's done. You only need to move through today, Ron.

Think of the distance you've already covered. Focus on your strengths. Let each new step remind you of your freedom. Let your every breath remind you of your power. Seek out friends and guides; they're anxious to help.

You're not alone. You're understood. This road has been walked before. Dance life's dance, just a few steps at a time, and in the wink of an eye you will wonder to yourself, "What beast, what mountain? Was I having a dream?"

Love you,
    The Universe

Day 19 - The Path to Total Transformation

Day 19 - The Path to Total Transformation

“It is only through thanksgiving that I can become myself." ― Kallistos Ware
In today’s meditation, we provide the necessary tools of transformation on the path to grace. As we navigate the ups and downs of daily life, with the mix of positive and negative situations at work and home, we need two tools to help us turn our practice of gratitude into a real state of grace: knowledge and experience. Knowledge provides the understanding and vision of how grace manifests, and direct experience gives us the personal validation that makes it real in our lives.
Using the tools knowledge and experience with our practice of gratitude ensures that our path to grace is real and practical. These tools allow us to transmute all of our life experiences, positive or negative, into a genuine life of grace.

CENTERING THOUGHT

My inner light is guiding me.

Day 18 - The Rewards of the Higher Self



“You will never accept gratitude as a solution to your problems, until you have reached acceptance.” ― Shannon L. Alder 
In today’s meditation, we explore the benefits of living from your higher self. Living from your higher self means your sense of identity is rooted in your inner awareness rather than your separate self, or ego, which is oriented toward objects of perception.
The higher self is who we are. It is our self-awareness and so it is always with us. The reward of the higher self is a life liberated from the demands, fears, and limitations of the separate self or ego mind. Practicing gratitude and appreciation helps to keep awareness aligned to the higher self because we remain focused on the unifying and uplifting qualities of consciousness, instead of allowing attention to get trapped in differences.


The Rewards of the Higher Self

CENTERING THOUGHT

My higher self is with me all the time.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Sanatana Hum
I experience myself as ever-present.


Ah, the poor demonized "ego" - our ego becomes out of balance when we feel a weak sense of self - this "ego" is trying to help us feel better about ourselves - compensating. Going back to the original definition of ego - it is the CONSCIOUS connection between the id (our lower self or lower brain) and our Higher Self. What part of you is thinking when you put down the "ego". How simple life would be if we could just divide ourselves between our "lower self - ego" and Higher Self. Unconditional LOVE includes ALL. The "ego" is not "satan". The "devil" made me do it - in your shallow terminology, the "ego" made me do it. I am not a victim of the "ego" that I SEE! Seeing the "ego" is seeing it as an inner 2 year old, which needs constant watching with loving but tough boundaries.
Ron Alexander-
I have been in two ashrams, with silent "Gurus" who were supposed to be without "egos". Believe me one cannot operate in the world without it. With all their support, they still had strong "egos" demanding more and more "service" from their servants. One cannot be present in this dimension without our ego and body for that matter! Be grateful for your 'operating mechanism", so you can be here now!


Vaster Space?

When we come upon beautiful things, they act like small tears in the surface of the world that pull us through to some vaster space.
Elaine Scarry (gratefulness.org)

Yes, I take the responsibility!

It's up to you, Ron.

It's entirely up to you.

And this just might be all you ever have to know.

Say YES,
    The Universe

No One is Born a Racist

Judge Alex's photo.
So true.

Words become thoughts, behavior, habits, your values, and your destiny!


Preeti Arora:
Your mind is a magnet.......
If you think of blessings, you attract blessings;
And if you think of problems, you attract problems....
Always cultivate good thoughts and always remain positive and optimistic.

Seeking Love?

Richness comes with life becoming harder...


As life becomes harder and more threatening, it also becomes richer, because the fewer expectations we have, the more the good things of life become unexpected gifts that we accept with gratitude.

Day 17 - Making Grace a Way of Life




In today’s meditation, we go beyond the mere behavior and attitude of gratitude, and let gratitude and grace become our way of being and living in the world. In the past, feelings of grace may have been rare and fleeting moments. To make grace permanent, we need to establish gratitude as a habit, so it becomes your default mode of relating to others.
When gratitude is the natural way you approach life, it is no longer an activity you try to remember to do. Gratitude is simply how you express who you are and how you feel. The practice of gratitude naturally and invisibly becomes a life lived in the state of grace.
Ron Alexander's photo.




CENTERING THOUGHT

Grace is perfect even when my life isn't.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Vratam Ahum
I am the consciousness that accepts life with wisdom.

"All that we have and don't have is a grace. "—  Mac MacKenzie

Take action on your dreams

"The Evolution of a Dream"

Dream is implanted into brain.

Dreamer becomes thrilled.

Dreamer becomes terrified.

If no action is taken, terrifying thoughts grow into flesh-eating monsters. Dream is considered unrealistic.

If action is taken, Ron, terrifying thoughts are revealed to be paper tigers. Confidence soars, miracles unfold, and dreamer begins to saunter.

Either way, nothing remains the same.

Gr-r,
    The Universe

Wow, this is the wonderful waterfall above Mill Valley, CA. coming down off Mt. Tamalpais. What a serene gorgeous spot for solitude. There is never many people there and plenty of private places to be - especially on top of falls.

Day 16 - The Hidden Secret of Being



Day 16 – The Hidden Secret of Being
In today’s meditation, we explore how the practice of gratitude reveals the hidden qualities of our awareness: wonder, joy, and beauty. As grace connects us to the hidden truths of Nature, we are really discovering the essence of our expansive liberated self.
Gratitude awakens these dormant gifts of our unlimited self and makes them powerful forces of positive change in our lives. As our self expands through gratitude, our concerns, anxieties, and insecurities become small and insignificant, while our experience of joy, freedom, beauty, and compassion continues to grow.

Our centering thought for today is:
Every day my Being seeks new ways to expand.
