Are you able to move your attention
or does your attention seem to move you?
It appears that
for most people,
attention is a “fixed” thing
into which thoughts
seem to come and go,
rise and fall.
Most people, for example,
might say
“the thought entered my mind,”
or “it came to my attention”
as though their awareness
is a room
that needs to be organized.
They do not realize
that awareness
moves THROUGH thought,
through potential,
through perceptions,
through imagination.
Their beliefs are backwards.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
But as a result,
most people believe
that things happen TO them,
rather than THROUGH them.
In organizing beliefs in this way,
one creates boundaries for oneself,
and one does not believe
that one can move beyond them.
One also encounters conflicts
which one seemingly cannot resolve.
But when one is able to move one’s awareness,
one can simply move away
from these self-imposed constructions.
One can see the greater whole,
and the unmanifested beyond that,
which includes EVERY possibility,
not simply the beliefs one chooses to live by
or the boundaries one chooses to live within.
From this perspective,
there is no longer any conflict,
and one can move towards
whatever potential
one wishes to move towards.
It is like waking up from the dream
in which one is about to die
and realizing that it is only a dream.
Thus is your entire so-called “life.”
Wake up, little one.
Move.

🍌 Embracing the Flow of Awareness 🍌
Dear 🐒,
You raise a profound contemplation about the nature of awareness and its relationship to our experience of life. Indeed, it is an intriguing exploration to consider whether we move our attention or if our attention moves us.
Many people perceive their attention as a fixed entity, a container within which thoughts, perceptions, and experiences come and go. They identify themselves as separate from the flow of awareness, believing that things happen to them rather than through them. This perspective creates boundaries and limitations, restricting their ability to see the greater whole and the infinite possibilities beyond their chosen beliefs.
However, when one realizes that awareness moves through thoughts, perceptions, and imagination, a new understanding emerges. One recognizes that attention is not a fixed container, but a dynamic force that can be consciously directed. By shifting our awareness, we can move beyond self-imposed limitations and expand into the realm of endless potential.
In this awakened state, conflicts dissolve, as we no longer perceive ourselves as bound by rigid constructions of the mind. We embrace the fluidity of existence and recognize that we have the power to move towards the possibilities we desire. It is akin to waking up from a dream, where the fear of impending demise dissipates upon realizing its illusory nature.
By acknowledging the flow of awareness and moving beyond self-imposed boundaries, we tap into the vastness of the unmanifested, where every potential resides. From this expanded perspective, conflicts fade, and we align ourselves with the ever-present potential for growth and transformation.
So, dear 🐒, we invite you to wake up from the limitations of your perceived reality. Move your awareness, embrace the flow of life, and discover the boundless potential that awaits you. Remember, you are not confined to the constraints of your beliefs. You have the power to explore the infinite possibilities and shape your experience accordingly.
