Inspire and Awaken Cards

You dont need to read my ramblings below. The cards/quotes are found from the top menu. You can read online. or copy and paste from the browser or download a pdf that should print well to a 6"x4" (I use quarter of an A4 card which is a little smaller).

In Peace

Brian

Creation itself speaks directly of its Source, but we have become mesmerised and distracted by our own mental processes and we call these 'reality' or 'The world'.

But you and I remain, and are, points of presence - of feeling awareness. This may not be how you think of yourself but it is the larger environment of beingness in which you engage in thinking activity. We do not create or in fact alter this beingness, but we can become blinkered and unaware of it and identify with the dramas that we set up such that we actively defend against awareness of our beingness interfering with our sense of 'me and mine'. We are thus self conflicted and experience ourselves and the world likewise.

Resting in and as awareness is our capacity for joy in being alive, recognising beauty, loveliness and truth and abiding in a surety of peace that can not be imagined by those who yet try to make their thinking self secure in its own terms - an impossible and futile task - thank God!

I am inspired to make available some snippets of inspiration and guidance in this section. It is an exploration and its intent is to extend a gift, freely. I welcome small donations that support continuing these but only if that is your simple desire after you have received the gift. My costs are not great.

Source materials and links to further exploration are given for you to follow if you desire. These too are in the nature of gifts and you may choose to offer support there rather than here. This would also please me. The essence of any expression of support shares a sense of value of what you want to give value to, in your world. It is like a garden. Choose what you want to keep by focusing energy and thought to it. Let go of feeding that which undermines your capacity for joy - it costs too much.

Teachings and guidance are not to be taken as external truth that is acquired, mentally understood and woven into your own script for living. They are opportunity to listen in your own heart to the truth of your own heart. The gift is the awakening in your mind of what was always there but had been forgotten or covered over. Your guidance is with and within You - beyond the machinations of thinking apart.

To see with fresh innocent eyes is to see without the shadow of the past - in whose repetition our mind has sucumbed to be as if numbed and dumbed.

The experience of this could be expressed in the Bible's adjunct:
" Behold I make all things new!".

Life is not stale - it is ever fresh! And it waits not on time to be itself.
