Oneness

Hello June

I took the time to meditate for a few minutes today and found myself on another astral plane characterized by unexplainable sensations of nothingness. I entered the cosmic realm of transparency. The subtle ambient music occupying space in the background turned into nothing but wavelengths of sound. Frequencies. Vibrations. An exquisite oasis of serenity filled my heart to the brim; freedom transfused into my cells.

Oneness, oneness, oneness.

Right Here, Right Now

I am reading another book by Eckhart Tolle called The Power of Now and I just need to quote a line that totally heightened my consciousness/awareness the other night:


'Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the now.'


For a very long time now I have already been practicing having a conscious awareness towards the present moment. But that line from the book really made my awareness sky rocket. As of the moment I finished reading that line, I have been incredibly aware of the Now, more than usual. It is not the easiest thing to remain in the present consistently. It certainly takes time and practice and a lot of self-reminding. But when you're in the midst of a fully grasped moment, when you're truly feeling your body and soul in the very moment that always is and always will be right now, it's beyond words.

There is something so beautiful and freeing about Being. Just Being. It's as simple as looking around you and noticing where you are, how you feel, observing - but not judging - your thoughts, feeling the energy field inside of you. It's marvelous. I can definitely feel how it is becoming more natural and automatic for me to bring myself back into the Now and into a true state of Being.

Feels good.

Lessons from a Stranger & Life as we know it

This weekend I visited my best friend Julia at her University for Halloween. I was originally supposed to be a pioneer, but ended up some sort of fairy ballerina. I'll put up some pictures when I get them.
On Saturday we went to the grocery store and as we were in an aisle choosing gravy, I noticed I was in a man's way while trying to find the spot to put a packet back on the shelf. I immediately manifested feelings of pressure to hurry up as I mumbled words of quick apologies.
Once I put the item back, the man continued walking by me saying, "Don't worry so much. Life is too short to be in a hurry." In my head all I could think of was thank you, thank you, thank you! in complete and utter acknowledgement. I couldn't agree more with what he said to me. But all I could muster up was a quick smile and a chuckle.

On my post from October 1st, I wondered what the month would bring to me. And something huge did happen. Throughout my spiritual journey from nearly a year ago, I have experienced plenty of awakenings and epiphanies and the month of October brought me a delightful confirmation of something I have been seeking an answer to for quite some time.

I
experienced
Enlightenment.

I came to the truest of all true realizations about life as we know it, and I must have been Enlightened because when the moment occurred I froze with an unearthly yet beautiful sensation deep within. The word enlighten means to gain awareness or knowledge, and I gained total understanding as to what and who we are as living, breathing organisms here on Earth in this miraculously strange Universe.

And what we are is consciousness. Awareness.

Forget about your desires, your goals, your influences, your body, your past, your future. All there ever is, is right now. All there ever is, is perpetual consciousness.
And I have for quite some time adopted this way of thinking, but it was the fact that I gained the understanding as to how it is that I thought about things this way - and it was the event of exquisite Enlightenment.

This was something important that happened to me in October. Thought I'd share. Now all I can wonder is, what will this November bring? ;)
