It’s Monday morning and your late again. Your stuck in bumper to bumper traffic and losing it. That jerk in the convertible just cut you off and that crazy person behind you is ridding your ass. Your trapped behind a Wal-Mart truck that is spewing diesel fumes into your passenger side widow making you choke and tear up. The widows rolled down because the air conditioner is on the fritz again and your spritzing like an animal. You can feel the rage beginning to build up inside you.

It’s hot, smelly, overcrowded and insane.  You’re on the edge…

When the attachment to thoughts subsides our mind naturally gets quiet and we begin to experience gaps between thoughts. In these gaps, we can hear the soft -spoken voice of the heart. This soft-spoken voice is a compass, that can point us to the direction we need to travel – inward.

In life, sometimes we need guidance and advice so we may look outward to our friends and family for counsel and wisdom.  My advice to you is this, seek the inward path to your own inner teacher, it’s there for us at any time and any place. This guide has always been there within us we were born with it, at times it’s just difficult or impossible to hear. The voice of the heart is quiet, soft and non-intrusive. On the other had the external noises of life are often so harsh and loud that the sotto voice of our heart is drowned out completely.

What can we do to hear our inner guidance? Daily seek a place of solitude and calm and simply stop. Set everything down. Be still. Take several long slow deep breaths in and out. Allow yourself to settle. Each day we have the opportunity to acknowledge this inner stillness and the soft voice of our can our heart-mind. Each day we can make this moment of stillness a priority. It’s up to us.

Everyone wants a clear and concise “how to wake up” method, this is impossible without the willingness of the participant to jump in and take the necessary risks to give up their old ways of thinking and seeing.

If you want to know the truth about who you really are and what this is really all about you have to be willing to give up the old methods, to reach beyond thought and thinking mind and to take the dive into the unknown.

You must ask yourself, “What do I want?” and then be willing to risk it all to have that.

So what do you want? If you want peace, happiness and serenity, what are you willing to give up to have that?

Are you willing to give up your attachment to thoughts, memories, concepts, judgements and beliefs to have peace?
Sacrifice is part of the path of no path.

You don’t have to give up everything and walk into the woods (though I’ve done that) to discover the truth, but you may have to give up trying to think your way to the truth. There comes a time when we have to leave behind our precious beliefs and open to newness.
I’m not talking about Robert’s way, I’m talking about rediscovering your own innate wisdom, happiness, and contentment that you arrived with.
I can only point to this truth and MY way means nothing at all.

All I ask of you is this –

• Can you look deeply into your own heartmind and see that you had it all along, that nothing is broken in you and nothing needs to be fixed.

• Your OK

• The way to IT is simple.

• It’s down beneath the thinking mind and it’s found in silence.
