I haven’t worked hard enough or long enough, but as the cliché goes, it’s all about the journey because the goal isn’t guaranteed.

What I DO have is a healthy respect for – and faith in – an aspect of each of us that we naturally take for granted: our consciousness.

Without consciousness we wouldn’t know we’re alive!

 

Yeah! What would be the point of living if you weren’t aware of what your body and mind we’re experiencing in realtime??!

While WHAT we’re conscious of changes constantly due to the bipolar energetic nature of our world, our awareness OF those constant changes never does. Consciousness alone is unaffected by time and space.

It never changes. Without it we don’t realize we’re alive. Yeah, it’s essentially divine.

 

Modern religion refers to our consciousness as our spirit or soul. Somehow it’s true nature got lost in translation, but the message is the same: “You’ve got serious potential! Live up to it! The power is INSIDE YOU!!”

How does that light of self-awareness go on in someone? I suspect it’s unique in each case, but there are commonalities, markers along the route if you will.

The type of epiphany I had two years ago was traditionally likened to seeing something’s shadow.

ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT’S CASTING THE SHADOW – ONLY THAT SOMETHING IS!

 

I suspect when someone truly devout witnesses whatever’s casting the shadow it evokes a permanent change in them on an order of magnitude I can’t image.

My personal favorite shadow-caster image comes from my all-time favorite movie: Mulan.

Of course, it’s Mushu the little red dragon! Mulan’s clever, devoted caretaker.

Let me help you find your own inner Mushu. It’s typically a long, arduous journey – though with magnificent and inspiring views along the way.

What’s the real benefit of finding faith through self-mastery?

“Yea though I walk through the valley of death Baby!”

Meditate; it’s what’s good for you!

God bless, Skip
