Our Heart is always filled— filled with the entire world,  beyond all imagination!  Although we often fail to appreciate it,  we all serve as an amazing transformer  between heaven and earth.  We transform an empty,  vibrant awareness into thoughts,  feelings, beauty, joy, love, sorrow,  suffering, fear, ad infinitum— in short, we are the creator of life.   The raw stuff of life plays its music through us,  and vice-versa .  That said,  few choose to embark on a journey  t hat allows us to recognize  and fully appreciate this gift.  Perhaps to most,  all of these words sound too abstract  and  lofty

What is understanding, How is it different from Knowledge. aelolive.com Understanding means that we not only have knowledge of what is going on, we  not only have the experience, but we also are in touch with the meaning of the experience. There is not just the knowledge of the fact of the experience itself, but also a cognitive appreciation of its significance… Understanding is thus the dynamic, creative flow of knowledge and knowing. Knowledge creatively transforms through the seeing of truth, and the truth is what transforms the knowledge from one form to another, taking it to a deeper, fuller, and more meaningful level

Nobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once we have attained a state of egoless-ness, the world won’t disappear, as we may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within us. Something is uncovered. we start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.

What are the impurities of the personality? What will be clarified from the personality? The answer is simple: the past. The thickness, the dullness, the suffering that you experience as the personality are there because the personality does not exist in its pure form. It carries the past with it, and the past exists as conflicts, memories, undischarged feelings, misunderstandings, ignorance, and all the reactions, associations, and fantasies corresponding to all the ignorance from the past. Our choices are really very limited. They are limited by our level of awareness. If we can change our level of awareness radically, then we can change our destiny

So, I learn from my mistakes.  It's a very painful way to learn,  but without pain,  the old saying is,  there's no gain.  I found that to be true in my life.  We miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes,  but that's part of it:  knowing that we're not shut out forever,  and that there's a goal we still can reach

 I AM; 1---Awareness doesn't remove the personal sense,  the feeling of existing,  but this feeling of being, this 'I AM' is pure. I AM : 2--- it is no longer identified with an individual  who is confronting other individuals. I AM: 3--- The 'I AM' is not relative,  it is absolute I AM: 4--- It is an unlimited presence  and  conscious of itself. I AM: 5--- This feeling of being alive becomes even more intense.  When awakening happened,  it was as if I had just been born into the world  for the first time. I AM : 6--- Life before awakening is a dream,  a deep coma,  a death. I AM : 7--- The newly discovered 'I AM'  has divine attributes. I AM : 8--- This 'I AM' is beyond time,  beyond space,  without limits, without size, conscious,  empty, full, silent, still...

The best thing we can do is to see who we really really are The Universe is run by certain universal laws.  They are as real as the laws of physics.  Knowing these laws  is knowing the rules to the game  we call life...

What is time, O mind....?  Is it the number of steps in a day, --the number of thoughts in a step....?  Then of the thoughts in a day,  how many years of days would it take  to know all that is know,  and then how long, --to know the magnitude of the Unknowing.... and how many steps will take thee from here to there?  Who shall anoint thy limbs?

 Today I will honor the uniqueness of us  by being present in each moment  as I journey through my life  with those who are walking their unique paths  along with me  and  beside me! 'I am always present' It is because I am always absent 'Absolutely there is nothing to be either present or absent.' 'There is absolutely no "where" for any "thing" to be,  nor any "thing" to be any "where" 'From eternity to eternity I alone AM as I.  The Grand Mystery is all around us.  It permeates us.  In fact, each one of us is part of it.

'There is no "I" but I.' 'Then is there no "you" but you?' 'I, always I,' 'Gives me to think, I will meditate upon it.' 'Do nothing of the kind!'  'To "meditate" means using split-mind:  just look from within and see  - see  that so it Is!  Stop splitting and stay Whole!' Whatever we may be, we are being 'lived'.  We are not traveling, as we think:  we are being 'travelled'.
