Living In the Miraculous Zone Everyday
We are all always just one choice, one shift in attitude away from becoming free of our old limiting paradigm we have been living in to living life everyday at a much higher level of awareness, happiness and Love.
It is a new day of fresh opportunities and amazing potential every morning!
After another hard freeze last night, the morning is off to a beautiful start.
Warm and welcome sunlight is streaming through the window next to my desk here aboard my tiny house, as I sip espresso and begin to celebrate this very moment.
I realize again and again that our lives are actually always just one shift in attitude away from being miraculous.
I simply have to make the choice to raise my own levels of awareness high enough above the cloudiness of the mundane mind to see what is really available in this flow of moments.
When I am able to do that, I am amazed at all the graceful blessings that are here for me, all around me, right now.
I am also aware of how much the lower mundane mind can make life seem dull and listless, as if everything was covered with grey dust and fog.
When I am aware, of course I choose to keep coursing in the higher, clearer view, because it is only here that I know I am seeing what is really true, where my heart is flooded with Love, just pure Love without a cause or an object to focus it on.
This surging Love is my own true nature, and its like the sun that now rules the sky, radiant, warm and perfect.
So I consciously work to maintain this higher awareness, for the quality of my life depends on it.
When I fall back down into mundane mind’s limited view, then the flow of love becomes a trickle with little power to sustain the sweet awareness I am enjoying now.
I fall back into a state of being lost, irritable, touchy and confused.
I don’t notice what is happening for Ani, and am likely to say or do something stupid that hurts her, which then causes us to have a quarrel over nothing important.
It has taken me years of meditation, prayer and inner work to develop my ability to raise my own consciousness and live free in these higher states of awareness which I now enjoy.
Having escaped from the prison of my own lower mind, I have no interest in going back there.
So this morning, as I do every morning, I raise myself up as I wake up and soar up high and free in my soul’s eternal blissful reality.
When I start the day from the highest levels of awareness I can reach, the more amazing the days looks and the more I realize that everything in my life is now, and always has been, a series of beautiful blessings and opportunities that just keep on coming day by day as long as I remember to rise and use the day as the divine intends, free of mundane mind.
