Sexuality also Flows within Spiritual Energy

Sexuality and Spirituality. Did your eyebrow rise as you read the title of this article? Well, firstly please remember that spiritual energy is a specific term in reference to universal energy. On the other hand, we associate sex with lust, passion, obsession and greed. Primarily, sexuality originates as a natural biological function. Thus, sex is a factor of our existence with the potential to either enslave or liberate us. Sexual behavior is a process of instinctive reproduction behavior. But the mind influences these behavior patterns, as is basically true for all aspects of our behavior. Nevertheless, the practice of conscious aware presence obviously also applies to sexual interactions. Therefore, your state of presence decides how you perceive and respond to sex. You might think that this is not significant because sex is sex.

But sexuality manifests either from a state of mind or from a state of spiritual life energy. Universal energy is a constant presence as we experience the beingness of our person. Equally, the minds influence during sex is similar to all other behavior pattern aspects during our life. That is fine but please remain aware of the mind activities and its influence on you. Conscious presence without mind interference offers an experience of enlightenment in daily life. Naturally also during sex. Still, it is difficult for the mind to grasp that sex and spirituality go hand and hand. Continue reading →

Psychological Pain and How It Enslaves You

We use the term psychological pain to describe suffering, sorrow and other mental pains. Therefore, the first step in understanding this phenomenon requires us to understand the source of this pain. The mind, and solely the mind, is responsible for these reactions to life and living. Furthermore, mental pain is just a phantom illusion. Nevertheless, these phantoms usually overshadow each moment and seem very real. Thus, a given depth of aware presence is beneficial before a person can acknowledge this pain of the mind.

psychological

A typical mind reaction, in example, is to blame everything around us for our difficulties. But actually, other people, situations nor the universe cause problems. It is primarily because we are not aware of our lack of presence. Let’s say that this is a lack of active conscious awareness. Most people are simply not aware enough to look inward instead of outward to understand their behavior. This psychological conditioning behavior is prevalent in most areas of our existence. Religion and beliefs are prime examples. Most people need, and want, a god to judge them, save them or punish them. It is a repetitive cycle that continually occurs throughout our history. However, humankind is awakening and slowly moving beyond such conditional behavior, dogmas, beliefs and thought patterns. Continue reading →

Signposts on Your Inner Spiritual Journey

A person, thing or situation has the potential to provide useful signposts during your experience of life. Let’s use a flower to illustrate one of countless possibilities available on your path of inner self-discovery. I will write more about this later in the article. Are you awakening, consciously speaking? Do you acknowledge the conscious presence of your being? If yes, this suggests that you are in the process of shifting your focus from mind distractions to aware presence. Thus, yourself and the world around you offers new perspectives, freedom and enlightenment with each step on your journey.

signposts

Nevertheless, the awakening of your conscious presence during this process will still experience mind distractions on occasion. Therefore, thought and emotional details will also appear during your inner journey as disruptions. And, this type of mind influence can divert your sense of being away from potentially helpful signposts. Thus, your focus will shift to countless thoughts and feelings if you interpret these mind details as necessary. You will always have thoughts and emotions during your life experiences. And, unaware presence to your state of being will compel you to listen to the mind. Continue reading →

Bottle of Water and the Flow of Life

Let’s do an experiment in the attempt to initiate conscious awareness of your presence. You need a glass and a bottle of water to conduct this exercise. The task itself is easy. Pour the liquid from the bottle into the glass. Thus, you might discover the presence of your being within the water as it flows. However, whether you recognize conscious presence or not depends on how you observe the water flowing from the bottle. What is the focus of your being as you interact with the liquid?

bottle

Many individuals that read what I have just written will perhaps label me as crazy, or at the least, eccentric. Why do I ask you to consider your relationship with the water as it flows into the glass? Most likely, you are thirsty and don’t care about focusing on the act of pouring water. Nevertheless, everything evolves from your perception so let’s continue. Continue reading →

Spirituality, Religion, and Science! Oh My!

Lions, tigers and bears! Oh my! Do you remember this scene from The Wizard of Oz in 1939? Do you recall Dorothy, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow shaking with fear as they encountered the Cowardly Lion? The depiction of this confrontation with a lion offers us insight as a signpost on the path of conscious awakening. However, let’s substitute lions, tigers and bears with spirituality, religion and science.

spirituality

Conditional reactions fill our life and this often causes confusion, distractions and misinterpretations. Furthermore, the thoughts and words we use initiate, nurture and intensify such behavior. Hence, we look at everything through the mind’s tainted reflections. Thus, most people are oblivious to the conscious presence of their being. Therefore, please do not misconstrue the above title. This article and the words are merely portals to the essence of your being. What is Spirituality? This is our inquiry. The expression of spirituality, in itself, is just a word or action. But the pure essence of your being is simply the conscious acknowledgement of your presence in the flow of life. Continue reading →

Data Flow Around the World and What About You?

There is an increase in information within recent years. This amount exceeds the total data already compiled since the being of socialization. We literally function from a basis of existentialism details that circulate and thrive on an input/output conversion. Here are a few statistics.

– Ninety percent of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. Our current output of data is roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes a day (www.iflscience.com)

– Worldwide there are 6.3 million Google searches each minute of every day.

– More than 4 million hours of content uploaded to YouTube every day. Users watch 5.97 billion hours of YouTube videos each day.

– There are 347.3 billion emails sent worldwide each day.

data

This article that you are now reading already contributes to this information transfer. Okay, you might ask how this relates to aware presence and conscious living. Everything is a type of universal vibrational energy transference. You experience input and your interaction with this information determines your existence knowledgeability. Everything changes according to your unconscious or conscious interaction with the beingness of your life experiences. Continue reading →

The Language of Life Speaks to You

Would you agree that language and communication are beneficial to your interactions in life? Well then, what about life and how you live? Do you feel the sensation of life speaking to you beyond the clutter of your daily existence? The universe is a manifestation of beingness older than life itself and as young as a flower seed that blossoms. The manifestation of your being is an inward and outward flow of energy. Furthermore, communication with the universe and life is ongoing. You interact with life and the presence of your being in each everlasting moment. However, you, I and the majority of people are usually unknowing and mostly unaware of our universal beingness.

language

Life is a frequency. This energy flow and additional frequencies vibrate through objects. This energy manifests and pulsates within the fabric of being. Therefore, let’s consider this universal flow. How do you influence this energy? And, how does it influence you? Please, firstly visualize yourself as the conductor of this power flow. Thus, to know how you influence this energy manifestation is to distinguish how it will influence you. Sounds tricky, but easily understood when you divert your focus from mind and body to the aware presence of being.

There is a resonating whisper that everyone feels and recognizes in the background of all activities. Although each person acknowledges this communication at different and various levels. The essence of being and your unaware or aware presence influence this flowing interaction. Unfortunately, you probably don’t respond that often to this tingling and pure sensation of aware beingness presence. Instead, the mind distracts you with thoughts and details about existing in a world that seems insane. Continue reading →

Wishing for Paradise Causes Confusion and Denial

The world has become a playground filled with mental and materialistic superficiality. And yes, there are many things that we enjoy as human beings. This encourages us to continue on and want more. Still, deep within we already know that more will never be enough. Thus, we complain. And, frustration overshadows our day to day activities. Furthermore, reaching for more invokes attachment and dependency. Everyone expects more to be waiting for them down the road or just around the next corner. Therefore we seek and wish for a life in paradise. People refer to this behavior as the Tahiti Syndrome.

paradise

Yes, a paradise is within your reach. But, you won’t live in paradise if you use the mind trying to get you there. A deeper awareness of living opens the portal to conscious presence. And, the practice of an unconditional presence of being offers the pure peace you seek. Our experiences are manifestations flowing from frequencies within universal energy. Equally, it is plausible and acceptable to write that we tap into this stream of vibrating energy. And, our use of universal energy either unconsciously or consciously happens in any given moment.

Conceptual Mind Behavior Restricts Aware Presence

Time is such an absurd tool of the mind. And, yet, the majority of people still think and believe that this mind-made conceptual structure defines everything a person experiences. But, let’s travel to another planet somewhere in the universe. Strangely, the developing species of a distant planet would contradict our mathematics and timeline structures. Instead, this alien civilization labels our calculation of one year as one month. Furthermore, what we structure as one month is one day.

conceptual

And, likely, another planet on the other side of the universe would structure conceptual time in a completely different fashion. Thus, it seems likely that everything is a mind structure that depicts illusions that overshadow the presence of being. Therefore, in example, any given person conceives the concept of time as moving very fast. While, another person manifests a timeline that is slow. Neither are accurate or tangible. Nevertheless, the usage of our presence determines how we interact with life. Thus, conceptual mind behavior influences the manifestation of our beingness. Continue reading →

The Inner Path Guides You Home

The inner suffering within you slowly manifests over many years in clock time. You smile and you laugh day by day. But, the hidden tears and hurting are obvious due to the inner torment that restricts you. Nevertheless, it is possible for you to discover clarity and even ongoing bliss. Simple conscious awareness is the way to inner serenity. However, you will not find any logic, explanations, silence or calmness in the world around you. Therefore, always gaze within the self to the presence of being. Everything is within you. And, everything manifests outward. How you observe yourself in this life is essential to the process of awakening to aware presence.

inner

Nothing of this world can give you ongoing fulfillment and tranquility. However, conscious awareness unbinds these virtues that originate from the universe within you. Still, you are withdrawn. And, this is understandable because you live solely from the mind. Hopefully, and likely, the anguish you experience day to day will fade. The difficult situations suddenly will become new stepping stones to enlightenment on your inner path. Thus, focus on the realization that your difficulties and confusion result from mind conclusions during your unconscious state of being. Accordingly, the mind imposes the illusions of misery and despair when you are unaware.
