Vibrations Of The Soul
My soul’s intention to awaken was a seed planted prior to thought, time, birth or death. Prior to the words arising from my mind that travel through my breath. And prior isn’t True because awake It already is, beyond ‘my’self, in every cell, every self, everything, and of no thing. The deeper in silence, the projected i-dea dissolves into the whole.
The foundation of everything is Love. It is what we are born from and of. It breathes life into us and through us, permeating and pulsating through everything, everywhere, all at once. It is the vibration of the primordial source of all of creation, from which everything arises and dissolves back into.
It manifests as the consciousness behind thought that witnesses, and through our awareness it recognizes itSelf. And the cognition of Self is a choice (it seems). Choosing to align, retrain, and entrain mind with presence (reality) through heart, breath, and body (as one) connects us with the vibration of love. And in the moment of precise connection the entire universe, cellular and soul-ular, reveals and heals itself in ecstatic celebration and rapturous bliss.
To sit in this consciousness with equanimity and acceptance and witness life happening is to rest my spirit in the ocean of trust. It is warm and welcoming there. Welcome home.
From this vantage point of trust I meet my thoughts with understanding. I see with clarity and grace how my mind gets caught in grooves deeply carved by beliefs from the past. Stories and narratives created for comfort and protection, outdated systems running rusty programs that inform conditional action and limiting my perception of life. It shapes, shadows, and narrows my vision through division. Part of me in the past forgetting that the whole of me exists in the present. Innocent. And it wakes me to its script through the felt sense of suffering.
Byron Katie asks us: Who would you be without the thought? In any situation where you are suffering identify the belief behind the thought that causes stress and ask: who would you be without it? I respond: Without the thought, without thought, I am.
It is a return to simplicity. To reality. To presence. I am cleaning the kitchen table. Hand, sponge, table. And even that is up for inquiry.
Let’s meet in the middle.
The thought comes: my roommates are a mess, they never clean the table, they should clean up after themselves, I shouldn't have to tell them (again). And then I flip the script, the mental light switch from the darkness of illusion to luminous clarity. I choose to align my mind with the moment. Cleaning the table. Why? Because I love a clean table, it creates a pleasing frame for the food. My partner Jimmy bought dinner and I prepare the table in gratitude for his kindness and generosity. His heart fills my heart… and stomach. :) And as I clean the table I clear the lense of my minds’ eye to see reality through the breath of my heart. This moment is full of abundance and beauty. And my physical reality is full of grace, grace-full. Becoming aware of this grace is grace. And resting in that awareness as I experience it through mind, body, and soul is the unified field of grace that is born of the foundation, the source, Love itSelf.
