Let's recognize and look out of your single eye, today! You always, already are... you just think you're not.

Today's Quotes:

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." - Matthew 6:22

"The sense of being, of the "I Am" is a sense of location here, present inside this body, but not bound by this body." - Mooji

Today's Meditation:

"We don’t realize how deep our learned assumptions are embedded.  Could all this really be a projection of consciousness?  Is it really just a matter of how it has been interpreted?  Dare we recognize that consciousness is not some quality or power that we “own” and exercise individually, and that everything, including our precious self, is nothing but consciousness?   

Now, stand up with the book in your hand.  Going only by what you see, here and now, not what you think or believe or remember...

Look at your feet.
Now move your gaze up your body.
Look at your ankles,
Your knees,
Your hips,
Stomach,
Chest,
Can you see any further up your body?

Going by sight alone, not what you believe or feel, can you accurately describe what you see where your head is supposed to be?

 We were taught that we are our body and that somehow, by some mysterious, unknown process consciousness has appeared in it.  We have assumed this for so long that we don’t even question it.  Isn’t it time we looked to see for ourselves?  Does consciousness appear in our body or is it our body that appears in consciousness?   

See for yourself right now.  Put down this book, look down at your body and ask yourself, “Is consciousness appearing in my body or is it my body that is appearing in this consciousness?”  Don’t go by your learned assumptions; just look openly and honestly, as if for the first time.

Then ask, “Could this body even appear without consciousness?  Could anything appear without this consciousness here?”

What are we then?  Are we our body as we have been told or are we consciousness, as we can directly observe for ourselves?  So, what then is our body?  Could it be consciousness also?"

Today's Practice:

Check out Headless.org's experiments -- Richard Lang provides some gems that walk you through what I shared in the meditation (via video!).  You'll be guided to the first person experience... the same one you have when you're wearing a VR headset.  Stay as the first person today, until you see that you're no person.  Just Love aware of Itself as this moment, including the person.  

I Love you,
