A weekly exercise
Each week an exercise will be posted for the aim of living consciously.
Last week, as I walked through the woods, I found myself in acute awareness of the surrounding trees. Standing erect or slightly bent, it appeared as though they were silently waiting for winter. Some, whose time had come, had fallen, slowly decaying and nourishing the earth. I felt a sense of mourning for their fragility and ultimate passing. On that path, I was both a sole hiker and a soul traveler. Higher Centers ushered in a state of quietude and oneness. Being present to each moment, the Self was awashed in love, gratitude and awe. In the path, I became a reflection, a mere shadow of myself. The Self was now observing myself outside of myself. At the same time, the voice of Conscious Influence repeated over and over, “Step out of Yourself. Step out of Yourself.”
The Teacher has said, “Uncreated light removes everything but itself. It overwhelms the many ‘I’s.”
This week, dear friends, take a walk or sit in stillness and Step out of Yourself.
What you may experience beyond the shadows is the gift.
