Aka, "Our Practice: Sharing" is a Returning to our Senses, Why?  Who we are, forgotten, taken for granted, most likely, this describes all of us, then Remembering is important, which will lead us to realize how very much more similar we are than we usually think... Got around fifteen minutes,  Let me help plant some seeds in your Soul.  Mindfulness results from widening one's perspective in meaningful ways.  It is more than just using meditation as a tool, it is how you use it that opens the doors.  Usually, fellow practitioners don't talk about this or they cover it scantily as it...

Going Beyond narrow Perspective
Yesterday at 12:00 PM

it is just this, we are all attempting,         

when we first yearn to lift our heads to better see our world,          

when we reach out to grasp,    feel,        

where is your Heart,           

bring it here, fill it with love

what are you imprinting upon your Soul today (?)
Last Monday at 9:00 AM

hmmm (?). what is it you want (?)          

if you want to find a route, one of an infinite number is here, behind these words are a path         

if you don't see or feel, please don't "judge" me harshly, also look inside for it might very well be you hiding         

attaining virtues are keys, not of material form, but of the energy in one's Soul, ultimately, one's path is yes, of the physical, yet ideas and behaviors begin in energy....               remembering whom you are,        

a bundle of energy for sure, more, a bundle of miracles

it all begins in a moment, hum
Last Sunday at 11:00 AM

in what way can one find them Selves, it is infinite and always changing,        

this much we know!        

humming is a latent form of awareness, easily harnessed and utilized,        

finding a way to "excite" and "encourage" one Self to become more alive,         

this is a good goal         

hum with awareness all day

If you allow, you can find your Soul here
03/27/2026

It is not far, it is only a level of awareness away,         

it is like learning how to swim or to stand and walk, to grasp anything...        

it does however mean in all of these "instances,"           

one must apply effort, receptivity, and acquire/exhibit enough virtues to accept        

one will find!        

It will not always be easy or nice, sometimes Evolution takes turns and twists in peculiar ways which we don't quite relish or agree with,         

yet, none the less, must deal with as best as we may........         

how...

A more subtle Truth...

I know what it's like to be a human because I also am one like you.       

Every day is unique and represents unique opportunities, confluences of Events, circumstances which guide our behavior and our abilities to pursue...           

Knowing this, one can easily come to the conclusion we need to be flexible and understanding of our own limitations and strengths and work on improving both.      

Effort is the harbinger of growth, practice is what helps bring about "enough" consistency to foster our awareness Improvement is occurring.

03/20/2026

We may not even know the answer,         

it wouldn't surprise me,         

because we so often take for granted that which we are.                

Time's passage so slow in the sense of moment by moment transition          

it's monotonous and ignored, we're looking for action, it's in our DNA, it's a reflective mechanism of "be-ing aware!"

Ask for help
03/17/2026

Do you know why we are called "social animals,"  because we depend on each other for meaning and inclusiveness in our flowing be-ing!  We are mammalian and  are both born and raised in an intimate nourishing way, hopefully, yet, we are also parts of cultures, civilizations both wise and wonderful, yet also filled with half truths and even lies.  Each must discern what to believe.

In common, there is a suggestion we are  godliness, virtue, divine grace  and so it is, and the wider.  perspective   increases one's own illumination of what is possible...

it's such an incredible World
03/16/2026

you don't need me to say this, but it helps to have someone remind us of what we "should be thinking!"         

It is this Way in many things, simple things, of varying importance, yet             

adding them all up together         is             

one's Life.

03/15/2026

It is one's own Life, each has the ability to do more or less,

be mindful to make better choices.         

For sure, sometimes you will make mistakes,        

For sure, sometimes you will create success,         

acknowledge both and seek improvement....       

for time never stops

What is beyond one's Sensitivity (?)

You won't know unless You try to expand it!          

Haha, it's a catch 22.          

for sure we can agree on one thing, we are here now and what this represents is "our unique sum total of awareness," how much do you want and are willing to grow (?)         

this is the ultimate question, it's answer, the ultimate guide of One's Self.       

And yet, are you even listening....          because, it's one's soul I'm talking about not one's egotistical birth personality full of Societal prejudices and mis-conceptions.

Organic / Artificial Intelligence (?)

who knows how we think, maybe you do, I'm not sure!           

Fun to consider what we surmise, is it "Truth?"          

Whatever shape and way we proceed from here, my wish, is for all of us to have a nice and prosperous day.

03/11/2026

It is what it is, being more aware of the present allows us the capacity to better take advantage of it, of being in some level of/ degree of control of what we are doing on our "flowing journeys of life."  That's all.

We are what we do, what we think, what we become!

Therefore make this one's opportunity to "unfold" in a beautiful way, like a flower!

Behold!     It is in your hands, in your heart, in your Soul, rise and be

How deep is your Pool of Wisdom (?)
03/10/2026

It is not to make a comparison between one or another,         

rather as a comparison between what you find and what you want!          

We all have the capacity for self improvement, the desire to become more than we are.          

It is in this way these words, thoughts, are expressed, to be helpful.

Do you have a sacred thought to help start your meditation Practice (?)
03/08/2026

If you don't, I recommend "you do!"        

Why, to act as a tool, a motivator, a beginning or inkling of "why" one is thinking about beginning one's Practice, creating an "aha" moment in one's mind,          

initiating the momentum we sometimes need.

utilizing tools of our own creation, not so different than a hammer or screwdriver, a sacred thought, phrase, mantra, prayer, all words which can suggest the same thing........          

a call to action, a reaching out toward one's very own Soul       

there is literally, nothing more important in this World

Know Thy Self, it's easy if you try
03/07/2026

It's what we do in our daily practice,  seeking improvement through better Understanding of whom we are...          

try it, you'll like it if you keep at it.  It builds and becomes more powerful with every day of trying to make accomplishments.  Success is both positive and includes failures, there is no straight line as everything is made of energy and therefore constantly oscillating back and forth through the flowing passage of time....        

it is why one needs to also acquire virtue to help make one's way through everything, every facet of our live....

Finding One's Way
03/06/2026

When we think of taking a walk in the Evening when the Sun is down or nearly so, we are apt to determine we should take a flashlight to illumine our Way...      

So, too, is it with Life, we need to "Be Prepared" as to the possibilities which    most likely    we are going to discover as moments flow....        

what I'm suggesting is practicing be-ing One's Best Self and acquiring habits which exhibit these Qualities      to One Self      and thereby to the Universe in whatever depth of    Perception    you wish to choose

Pause, Change, Rise-ing in One's Own Heart
02/22/2026

Where does one begin to journey to them Self,          

interesting question,         

from whatever way you find an entrance....         

Yet, be aware, there are easy ways to find one's Soul,        

it is to open one's awareness of one's own majesty,         

of one's own Evolution through Creation,          literally!         

where does this start (?)       Maybe, most easily by following one's own physicality.               

Why (?)         Because we each are adequately aware of our hearts and lungs and the processes they represent.           

Practicing       following        these two process is an extraordinary be-ginning
