Emptiness Survival Kit. Part 4: Change The Lens. Day 39: I Truly Am It All Already.

Posted on February 9, 2021 by lolkin

I love who I am and what I have attracted to myself up until now. I do not need another thing or even one tiny change in order to be happy or complete.  I know in my heart that I am not going to get it all, but that I truly am it all already. The universe is endless, I am the universe, and therefore I am without boundaries. 

— Wayne Dyer

Emptiness Survival Kit. Part 4: Change The Lens. Day 37: I Am Pure Spirit.

Posted on February 7, 2021 by lolkin

Ajanta Caves, Bodhisattva Padmapani

“I know that I am pure Spirit. That I always have been. And that I always will be. There is inside me a place of confidence and quietness and security where all things are known and understood. This is the universal mind, God, of which I am a part and which responds to me as I ask of it. This universal mind knows the answer to all of my problems. And even now, the answers are speeding their way to me. I needn’t struggle for them, I needn’t worry or strive for them, when the time comes, the answers will be there. I am confident, I am serene, I am sure. No matter what obstacle or undesirable circumstance crosses my path, I refuse to accept it, for it is nothing but illusion. There can be no obstacle or undesirable circumstance to the mind of God. Which is in me, around me and serves me now.” 

— Wayne Dyer

Emptiness Survival Kit. Part 4: Change The Lens. Day 35: Watch The Watcher meditation.

Posted on February 5, 2021 by lolkin

If you feel ready to glimpse your true nature and face emptiness, try the Watch the Watcher meditation (more about it here). Please note this can be quite an intense method so only try it if you feel ready to face anything. 

Do your usual meditation practice and when your mind quietens and awareness expands, with your eyes closed, in your mind, look around and face the one who is meditating.

This may be terrifying or exhilarating. Try to choose to feel awe or amusement, rather than fear. If it becomes too much, stop the practice and try again later. Do this regularly to remember who you really are.
