Living in Awareness

Living in Awareness

Hello, and thanks for joining me for this edition of Journey to the Heart of Life. In this episode I want to explore more the concept of Awareness. I am always contending that there is an art to life and it all starts with Awareness. Awareness shows us who and what we really are, not only as physical beings, but especially as spiritual and eternal beings. It is the fundamental to living mindfully, consciously. Being Aware, we begin to live life more fully, and it makes for a life truly worth living. Awareness lifts us to our full potential.

Like many things, living in Awareness takes practice. We have to realize its importance, what it brings us – Truth. We have to want it and open our minds to it, to explore our spirituality and our attitudes, so as to see life with a new profundity. Awareness opens our view on life. We begin to see it in utter amazement. As we work to avoid concentrating just on the life of the material, in Awareness, we find ourselves on the road to Liberation.

But, here’s the problem. To me it often seems that to do and/or to accomplish have become the supreme goals in daily life in today’s society. We spend so much time trying to make more money, in gathering material goods or making sure we look great to ourselves or others; and when we try to take quiet time, we find ourselves interrupted or distracted. We rarely allow any time in our day to spend in any kind of contemplative moment. So, we’re missing the point. We’re not living consciously, but reactively. Life becomes a pointless race, a race which ultimately becomes just a race to the grave. Besides the futility of it all, living in this way we become stressed, not enjoying what we’re doing. And, then, when we finally reach the end of the short time we have here on God’s green earth, and ultimately realize how we really missed the point of existence having lived in so shallow a fashion, there will be regrets.

When we take an honest look at it, it’s sad.

With Awareness, we harness and tame the “busy-ness” in our everyday lives. When we cultivate being Aware, we pay attention…we practice being in the moment. We are no longer like unthinking machines, going blindly about our business, concerned always with the next thing or the things that came before. We start to enjoy things fully.

Living without Awareness is not what it’s all about. It doesn’t have to be that way. Life is an art. Awareness is essential, but I repeat, it doesn’t just happen. In our Journey to the Heart of Life, we are looking to appreciate its importance, and to activate it. Activation brings transformation, and that transformation brings Truth and richness to life.

In closing, I invite you to continue to come with me as we go along to discover this fascinating road to personal gnosis and liberation. Each of us has a connection to the Eternal, where we can learn to savor life and learn to deeply and lovingly appreciate it. It can be a fun and exciting Journey, one that is available to all who seek it!

Living in Awareness, that’s where the magic happens. That starts us on our Journey…our Journey to the Heart of Life

See you next time.
