Living in the NOW update.

the-only-true-wisdom-is-knowing-that-you-know-nothing-socrates

So yesterday I posted a blog about feeling the urge to get back on track and live in the NOW again.  Over the last 2 months for sure, and intermittently over the last 6 or so months I’ve been forgetting to be still, and forgetting to be quiet.  You know the score – take your eyes off the reality of ease, and reality; even the silly simple stuff becomes less easy.

I decided to kick myself up the arse and get present again, listened to a teeny bit of Dr Wayne Dyer on recommendation from a mate and found that what I was listening too I’d heard from other books and study before.  I sort of dismissed it – and thought, meh – I’ll listen to some Tolle and use the tools he teaches in ‘The Power Of Now’ as usual, as it works for me every time when I slip back into not living consciously.

I didn’t get round to switching on Tolles – ‘TPON’ though – and chipped off to bed noticing I already felt better, less noisy headed and slept like a log for the first time in a few months … putting it down to my verbal vomit blog enabling the cathartic properties of talking it through, and the power of just stating the intention to change (which of course is heap big powerful JuJu).

Oddly – I woke today and my very first thought as I stretched into consciousness was remembering a list of quick things to do that Dyer mentioned in this book ‘Your Sacred Self’ – within the first chapter or so.  One such tool on this list was doing something good for someone daily, without telling them or anyone else – as this links you into Universal love (he calls it Gods love).  I mean – it’s so simple.  The most loving thing you can do is help others selflessly, right.  This had me thinking all day about people, animals, the earth, & the universe as a connected mesh of love and possibilities.  I’ve spent the day drawn to talking, (without linking the reason why I was drawn to these subjects so powerfully), about ways to make things better for people, the poor stray animals, and the land around my local area – where as of late I’ve been quite locked in self and direct family members and friends.  I as always show love – it’s my make up, but have not been actioning love outside my direct circle of late  – you know?  I’ve been feeling more compassionate today than usual (and I’m a right soppy sod anyway).  Much more tuned in.  Far more emotionally linked to everything around me.  And for sure completely chilled, quiet minded and sort of blissful.  It’s a powerful emotion that I haven’t felt for ages.

Connection to all things – the Tapestry threads that join us – gossamer strings linking our solar plexus’ together.  It’s been a wonderful day of remembering who I am, that’s for sure.

What has struck me is I dismissed Dyer as a bit, to quote myself yesterday, ‘Entry Level’.  How wrong I was.  Listening to the first 2 chapters, not really concentrating, had actually sunk in – reminded me of the things not only that I have learnt, read, and studied before, but listening even unconsciously nudged my higher self to remember universal truths.  Amazing how my ego was for sure blocking me from moving back on track, as I mentioned yesterday when I acknowledged Ego could be the reason that I didn’t jell with Dyer.  But WOW … obviously my ego was kicking up a right storm, as Dyer’s wise words sunk into my being and worked on me in my sleep allowing me to wake up this morning at 7am feeling rested, optimistic and full of prospects other than day to day house running, project panics, and humdrum self doubt bollocks.

Full of LOVE with a capitol  L – O – V  – E.

Isn’t the Ego a petulant little twunt – feasting on the drama of internal chatter.  Spoilt little Ego – wanting nothing more than it’s host to worry itself silly over the small things (or huge things), while giggling like a school bully at the fact that the important things such as LOVE, Compassion, Giving, Being, Doing and Peace of Mind are forever out of your reach as long as you listen to it.

Peace is where I’m at again.  The answer was simple – ‘Remember, Study, Accept, Love, Be Present’, and for goodness sake – stop thinking you know it all !  <<<< that’s a note to self, by the way.

I feel like giving you all a resounding Namaste – so there you go.

Till Later My Lovelies,
