Episode 50 Blog/ When BEing Alive is a Grand Adventure
How do you define BEing alive? What is your rule set and
defining aligning principles in play about you and Life?
We each come out of
family dynamics that have a set up to them. We spend our lives working out of
this bias and beliefs systems. You are either in it and okay or looking to be
out of it. What would it be like to be
free to value and add excitement into your daily reality at your choosing? Not
anxiety but excitement. Safety and self awareness your given.
What if you looked
forward to opening your eyes each day and feeling the appreciation as you
experience your breath?
Some of us don’t wake up into our day like that. We don’t
want to wake up at all.
If this is the case what would it be like to reframe BEing
alive into a grand adventure, every moment a choice with awareness to do
something, feel something, different? It is all too easy to empower our habituated
sense of Self into maintaining the illusions that Life is difficult, wearing,
soul draining etc. etc. etc. And then you die!
If this is what lies in your expectation reality so it will
be. If, you are depressed, it defines
you. Would you like to have an adventure instead?
If you are frustrated, this defines you. Would you like to
have an adventure instead? If you find Life to be full of injustice or conspiracy
is everywhere and victims and abusers also predominate your inner landscape, would
you like to have an adventure instead?
If you think that no matter what you do nothing changes you
too have a setup for misery.
All of these are
perspectives of how one can live their lives. All of them are illusions that
help us in what way? How are they useful? There is a payoff lurking somewhere.
And at times we know it and feel helpless to change it.
What if you could simply get out of your mindset of
projected thinking and go deeper than your emotions to the realm within that
connects to your core essence of BEing? Deeper than your projections of Self
that hold your story /illusions of who and what you are and unfold into a realm
of wonder and indescribable beauty? Where every story/illusion is appreciated
and can become transcendent awareness
enriching your life?
Something captures your attention. You decide to explore
it. You may collect information about it from different sources that validate
your interest or not. But you don’t know what something is about until you feel
it for yourself. the details in the journey in our adventures are not known no
matter how much you research or don’t. The adventure will take you places you
have never been, may want to or not but you are better for it. It will have
dramatic scenery and people and textures and flavors and moments of comfort and
discomfort.
Danger and excitement. Many think they don't like danger or
adventure. They like the quiet and safety of never being challenged emotionally
or physically. So they are easily thrown off balance when the stuff that can
happens in life happens. Being open to something different, whether it be a
bowl of soup or a zipline experience is good for the plasticity of the mind and
soul. Doesn’t mean you have to live in a reality of daily risk all around you but
being fluid enough to appreciate your own skills and experience you own self
confidence.
So take this moment to notice. Notice what your reality state of BEing alive is about and make a choice. You can keep it the same, with it’s perhaps illusionary sense of safety within the boundaries you are imposing. That is a choice. Or perhaps in accessing deeper into your interior landscape of the sacred that is there, you can make a different choice.
Where you
are free to slip your old bonds of Self and expand into new adventures in BEing
Alive. Where, Life is Grand.
