Happy New Year to all my blogger friends! I enjoy reading your posts and your visits to mine. Thank you for your support. I am in the comfortable habit of reading blogs late at night while I am sipping a cup of tea; it’s my time to relax and venture into your world of words.
Keep on writing, and best wishes for a positive year!

december 21, doomsday predictions, end of the world, Inspiration, not the end of the world, the mayan calendar
The only correct prediction for December 21, 2012 is that many people would believe it’s the end of the world and freak out.
The planet has survived many doomsday predictions – so see you all soon in the blogsphere. 😀
For information on why the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21 – Mayan Calendar: End of the World
Now that’s a relief!

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. – Patanjali
Isn’t it encouraging? We think we are whom we are with our patterns, our routines, the abilities we have used in our lives, but the minute a powerful inspiration takes over, our mind and hearts work in concert, and we express that which is stored in the universe within us.
I wonder, what is it about inspiration that can move us this way? That aligns the mind and heart? Is it an energy that moves through us and wakes us up or is it an alignment with the God within us?
I think it’s both and more.

Awareness is our true self; it’s what we are. So we don’t have to try to develop awareness; we simply need to notice how we block awareness with our thoughts, our fantasies, our opinions, and our judgments. We’re either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we’re doing something else. – Joko Beck
How simple. For decades, I tried to acquire Awareness, when all the time I have been this awareness, but became distracted by the entertainment and fear of the mind. My eyes would get misty with longing when I would read of the awakening of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Papaji and various other sages, and the permanent freedom they experienced from the limitations of living inside the movie projector of the mind.
Moment by moment, I am learning to be more observant of myself and how I create my own limitations and freedom. It doesn’t require deep thinking to get into observer mode so I may experience my true self – words can get in the way, it requires a silent observation which leads one back to the holy foundation of Self.
