"You can't live outside of life, or you're not in it."
One of
the problems I notice all of the time with people is they seem to have
trouble being centered. One reason for not being centered is you have
more of your mind's energy outside of you than within you. This is because
you are operating more in the brain, which sees from the outside in.
It is easy to have too much of your energy spread out into the outside
world because you are not mindful. If you want to reverse this, you
must live from the inside out; this is how the mind sees. You must get
out of your head and get into your spirit—in the greater Kelee.
This is of course why you want to do The Practice.
If you do not take
the time to center yourself each day, you will not be. If we don't feel
our own experience of life, what do we feel? The world doesn't feel
us, we feel it. Being centered is not an accident! You must find your
center. Guess where it is? How about within? As was said in The Way
is Within, "Follow your heart and each day will be yours, not someone
else's." This is your life everyone, live from your mind, don't
just think about it with your brain. Take care.
"There is nothing more important than what you see before you. It's how we learn."Why do some people see the beauty of the
world and others do not when we all have physical eyes? Blindness
is not just in the physical. If you are to open your spiritual eyes,
you must know how to see.
We
see in two ways: with our brain and our physical eyes, and with
our mind and our spirit. Your physical eyes bring you all the world's
images, but it takes your mind and spirit to understand them.
If
you want to see what is before you, you must learn to open the perception
of your spirit. How do you do this? Get out of your physical eyes
in the lesser Kelee and get into your spiritual eyes in the greater
Kelee and get still. When the mind is still, all before you becomes
clear.
"It would be wise to spend more time on your thoughts than another's."
It seems that many people I come across
in teaching spend more time on someone else's thoughts rather than
their own. If all of your focus is on another, instead of yourself,
how will you ever understand your own thoughts? Are your thoughts more on what you are observing, or the point where
you are observing from: your conscious awareness? Watch these two
points in your mind. If more of your awareness is focused outside
of you rather than within you, how can you feel centered? Once again,
the key to being centered is being mindful, not in brain function
but in mind function associated with your greater
Kelee.
For all of you who are not doing The
Kelee Meditation Practice, isn't it time to start? Do you have
five minutes to center yourself? If any of you have any questions
about the mind, write in and I will try to answer them. Take care
everyone, this is your life to live so make it a good one through
awareness of mind.
"The openness of your mind depends on you,not another."
If
you are going to open your mind, you must have a way. It has been
said that, "As truly and completely as it can be said, the
way is within." This is an eternal truth.
The easiest way to open your mind and understand
your own thoughts is by looking into your Kelee with your conscious awareness. Your conscious awareness is who is
reading these words right now, and your awareness is focused outward.
If you pay attention to where you are perceiving these words from,
your awareness is directed within.
If you are going to understand your
life, you must understand your own thoughts. Most of what I do in
teaching students is encourage them to do The
Practice, which continues to direct each student within. In
most people's lives, people most often look only outward, and yet
our thoughts are what direct us from within. What
if your thoughts from within are pointing you in a painful direction?
Then you need to look within and find out why. This is the spiritual
path.
