11 Ways The Mind Abandons The Present Moment - Beam

will's picture

There are a number of ways for the mind to lose focus of what is important and to check out of the present moment. Understanding the nature of our minds, even just a little bit better, can add a boundless amount of value to our lives. Here are 11 ways the mind becomes removed from the present moment.

1. Expectations

“Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly.”

Having low to no expectations allows the mind to stay open to all possibilities, which makes it possible for anyone to fully enjoy the moments they find themselves in.

Spiritual Guidance: You Are Free - Wes Annac

will's picture

Conveyed through Wes Annac, The Aquarius Paradigm

You are free, dearest seekers.

However hard the striving mind will fight to convince you otherwise, liberation is and will always be a constant factor of your existence. Why, then, do so many of you seem to feel so unfree, you ask? This is because of the mind-centered belief in limitation and finiteness, and you’re intended to see beyond it in your new era of widespread spiritual knowledge.

Embrace your freedom and the joy that comes with it, especially when the pain and fear of the physical matrix could easily bring you down, because they’ll illuminate the way and make it easier for you to see the otherwise dimly lit path ahead of you.

The light at the end of the tunnel has always been in front of you, but many of you have chosen to temporarily hide from it in favor of the idea that it’s nowhere in sight. We use this metaphor in an attempt to convey that you’re far closer with spirit than you yet realize, and in fact, your closeness with us and with Source is growing every day and in every moment.

We’ve spoken before about the fact that you’re transmitting energy thousands of times a minute, which grows increasingly pure with each time you assimilate it, and we refer to this process so much because of its importance to your evolutionary process.

The Power of Truthspeaking - The Unbounded Spirit

will's picture

Teacher and writer Tamarack Song calls on all of us to practice “truth-speaking,” which, in his words, means “to state clearly and simply what one thinks and feels. There is no judgment or expectation, no disguise of humor or force of anger. The manner of speech is sacred, because it wells up from the soul of our being rather than from our self-absorbed ego.” When we truthspeak, we let go of our fears about how the other might interpret or react to our words. We simply speak our thoughts and feelings with utter honesty, absent any filtering, and, in so doing, experience genuine freedom. Note: Just the fact that you might pass a day without saying anything to another that would be judged as an outright lie does not mean that you have practiced truthspeaking, because truthspeaking, at its core, is about not betraying—not lying to—ourselves.

Death Does Not Separate Us… - Not Just A Blonde

will's picture

Death does not separate us from our loved ones anymore than the clouds separate us from the sun.

We may not see those whom we’ve lost, yet their light shines through the clouds of life. If our hearts are open we will assuredly feel the warmth of their love.

Take comfort in knowing one day the clouds will part and we will see the shining faces of our loved ones once again!

Make Joyful Noises - Mayan Messages

will's picture

Many of our lessons have brought up heavy issues and although we will be returning to delve deeper into your past wounds, today we wish to celebrate and practice making joyful noises.

Are you ready? Try to release all inhibitions and begin to sing. Make up words as you go, they need not be in a language you know; they can be just silly utterances. Build your crescendo, play with the sounds. Ohm, if you choose. Shriek with de-light.

Make silly faces and movements. Have fun and release yourself. Make body movements; get up and dance around the room or better yet, in nature. Let the playful child inside come out. Pay no attention to others who may watch you. If there are others around you, invite them to join you. Make silly faces at each other. If you feel like laughing, laugh. If you feel like crying, cry. Allow any emotions to arise. There is no need to attempt to understand why you are feeling these emotions, simply let them arise.

Continue to dance and sing for as long as you choose. Then, drink plenty of pure water and relax. Quiet yourself and go within for about fifteen minutes, expressing feelings of gratitude for all those who have been of assistance to you, both on Earth and beyond. Again, allow any emotions to arise.

Once you have finished, arise and create a splendid day for yourself! Make this a part of your routine at least once a week and enjoy the freedom of releasing parts of you that are ready to be expressed.    Selamet! Eb 2

Delivering Truth With Love

will's picture

Our culture is one where telling "little lies" is not only acceptable, it's often encouraged. When the wife asks the husband, "Does this dress make me look fat?" he'd better give the right answer! The right answer being what the wife's ego wants to hear. In a society ruled by ego, truth isn't very highly valued. Being "politically correct", saying the kinds of things people want to hear, becomes more important than actual honesty.

Such incredible growth we could have if we collectively stopped doing this. Instead of reinforcing others illusions, we could assist each other is raising above them. Personal development and uniqueness could be valued more highly than conformity. Imagine that! A society where we all help lift each other up instead of holding each other down.

In the meantime we can still be honest with each other, and I highly recommend delivering the truth with Love and tact whenever possible. Often we save our true feelings about someone for when that person really pisses us off, when we're highly emotional, then we tell them how we really feel. This is a kind of misuse of truth, it's using truth like a weapon.

There's a certain skillfulness needed when delivering a delicate truth to someone. It's tricky to do without creating conflict, one must be compassionate without getting all emotional. This is where Love comes in, Love assists you in assisting another without getting caught up in all the drama. Such an important skill to have, it's something all adults would do well to learn.

What If We Did Love? - Heavenletters

Now I will tell you that when you feel abandoned, it is you who has abandoned yourself. You may be waiting around for Me to spur you on to ever greater. Spur yourself on. Inspire yourself. The world is waiting for you to take initiative. Do not fight life, nor take life lying down.
 
If you feel you are a victim, you are taking life lying down. You do not have to lie down in defeat nor do you have to get up in anger. There is a more sustainable fuel than anger. Get up because rising is always the thing to do. I said rising, not uprising. You can take life by the hand. You can proclaim life.

Helping Others - Positive Thoughts

will's picture

Sometimes we get so caught up in our own lives that we stop thinking about the needs of others and what we might be able to do to help them.  Life has a tendency to catch us up in it, to make us focus so much on our own issues that we even forget that other people have issues, too.  And as time goes on, it seems that the other people in our lives are less and less likely to ask for help--after all, our culture values independence over almost everything else, and if we have to ask for help, it seems like a major failure for us.  We have to get used to the idea that very often, we need to recognize when someone needs help first, and then offer that help sincerely and without expectation of anything in return if we want to make our help as valuable as it can be.

The Changing Terrain - Heavenletters

God said:

When life seems to become too much for you, remind yourself that you are Being, you are a soul, and all that seems to matter so very much to you while you are popped inside a body is a flash in the pan. When all is said and done, what matters? Whatever may be pressing on you right now, no matter how vital it may seem to you right now, is really nothing at all. You will have forgotten it before long.
 
You had an idea that you had a difficulty. That’s all it can be, an idea floating down the river like a stray branch, only, at the time, you are certain that it is a dire situation that you fear you may not survive. And, so, you see life as hazardous and yourself full of toil and trouble. You are sure that life on Earth is to be nothing but a bouquet of roses and nothing but roses all your life long.
 
Perhaps you feel that life is meant to be Santa Claus, and, yet a Santa Claus who sometimes delivers onions and black coal to you. Oh, if onions were scarce, they might be valued more. And within the black coal may lie a diamond.
 
Life doesn’t sit still. Life is always roaming around the countryside or up or down a chasm. Life is a piece of cake when you roll with it and don’t protest. In life, beloveds, the cards aren’t stacked against you, yet you may be on the look-out for your life to be interfered with. Beloveds, your life is what it is as it appears before you.
 

Daily Message ~ Saturday April 26, 2014 - Trinity Esoterics

will's picture

So many helper souls feel they are the help so they do not think they have the help they need. Dear Ones, if you are on the planet to make a difference, do you not think it would make sense to ensure you have all the assistance you could ever need? There is a universe of help available to each and every one of you, however, you must ASK to activate it, as we will always, always honour your free will. The role of the martyr – one who sacrifices and gives and gives selflessly with nothing in return, is a very old, out of balance, outmoded idea. It is absolutely possible for you to be of your highest service and to do so with grace and ease! You are the pioneers of joyful, balanced service that honours all. ~Archangel Gabriel

even though is looks like it will go on forever, it will not. The Universe is right beside you. ~ Creator

On Labeling Without Limiting

will's picture

There's this popular belief that we shouldn't label anyone, and there's a certain bit of wisdom there. Take Frank for instance, Frank could be anyone, we don't know anything about him other than he's probably a man. Now let me apply some labels to Frank, he's old and he's a conservative. Suddenly there's all these unconscious prejudices, positive and negative, that come up when we think about Frank. He could have been anybody at first, but now there's various expectations about what Frank is supposed to be like.

The danger here is, what if Frank doesn't fit into those labels? More importantly, what if he doesn't fit into the prejudices people have associated with those labels? I've just done a great disservice to Frank by labeling him. Human beings are complex and unique, yet by labeling him I've made him dull, one-dimensional. He's now a generic person, he's been pigeonholed in our minds.

To the dualistic thinker, it may seem like I'm saying "labels are bad", but that's not my message at all. In fact, I would hope the hypocrisy of "labels are bad" is obvious to the reader. Labels are largely unavoidable, they're how our language works. That's all words are, labels. The word Moon is not really the Moon, the word is like a finger pointing to that large sphere that revolves around our Planet. The word is simply a convenient tool for communication so we both have a similar understanding.
