Within all things lies the truth.
When we step up to a particular situation and look at it directly, a bit emotionally detached, we can look upon our role in things with a new light. The question is are we willing to take the time, look for the truth and create the space necessary to learn more about ourselves.
You, I and everyone tend to walk through our lives in a state of a waking dream. Don’t you agree that the time has come for us actively participate? How many times have you simply responded to the people around you almost out of habit not even remembering the exchange nor drive to work? What about interacting with others out of how we decided they were due to our past exchanges and failing to recognize and meet who they are today in this moment. How can we take things for granted? This entire dream like state that has us acting on autopilot, now is the time to awaken.
Begin by choosing to awaken, shake the dream state from your view, and step one foot out of the whirl wind of the illusion.
Interactions with others may appear differently when we set aside past judgments and meet the situation fully at hand because things become clearer, crisper and even a little exciting given our full awareness. The mundane becomes an interaction with possibilities with unforeseen outcomes. After all the illusion brought with it our false sense of control, when we only really get to control ourselves and our responses, awoken we get to see our partners, children or parents completely different without the old stuff we attach to them. How freeing it is both for us and them. This kind of interaction expressed in a heartfelt safe way verse selfish or self serving, is subtle with profound side effects.
Keep faith if the others around you appear asleep, dulled or even out of touch, because this is the nature of things until they too use their free will to awaken and meet you fully too. Remember that you are setting for them the great example and by your unexpected awareness, so shall they be shaken from their slumber and into the awakening of the moment & the truth waiting there.
