Ilumine-Ao

As we raise our level of awareness and understanding of our world, our reality, our potential, and our Life…it seems the more we know the less we really knew. It’s like you get this drop of wisdom, insight or an aha moment and a whole waterfall of clarity washes over you.

I’m going to use my Self as an example. My intention is to continuously evolve by raising my level of awareness and there are times when I “think” I may finally have something all figured out. Until I reach out to someone about something that I feel is totally unrelated to my current understanding about Life and WHAM!

Shift happens…

A few weeks ago Life introduced me to someone new who I thought had some amazing insights and brought more clarity into my Life. So much so that I reached out to her and connected with her so that perhaps she may guide me on my journey in Life.

The reason I am telling you all this is because we are all not here alone to figure it all out by ourselves in this journey called Life. There are those who have figured out some parts of Life better than others and would Love to guide the rest of us…but yet we don’t ask for that guidance or if we do we ask incorrectly.

Why not ask another that has a higher level of awareness for support, assistance or guidance? It is almost like trying to reinvent the wheel on your own.

When you do ask…ask for guidance or inspiration which is different from asking for answers or to be “given” something.

Our Life journey is our own and when we ask for guidance it is for helping us to remember our own answers, insights, wisdom or “aha” moments. Thus creating that waterfall of clarity that washes over you to keep moving forward and evolving…and realizing the expansive wisdom that exists and yet to BE tapped into.

For our best and highest good, all ways…

Carl Jung tells in one of his books of a conversation he had with a Native American chief who pointed out to him that in his perception most white people have tense faces, staring eyes, and a cruel demeanor. He said: “They are always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something. They are always uneasy and restless. We don’t know what they want. We think they are mad.”

The undercurrent of constant unease started long before the rise of Western industrial civilization, of course, but in Western civilization, which now covers almost the entire globe, including most of the East, it manifests in an unprecedentedly acute form. It was already there at the time of Jesus, and it was there 6oo years before that at the time of Buddha, and long before that. “Why are you always anxious?” Jesus asked his disciples. “Can anxious thought add a single day to your life?” And the Buddha taught that the root of suffering is to be found in our constant wanting and craving….
