“The earth seems to be beseeching us to connect with joy and discover our innermost essence.”—Pema Chodron
I’m not a big resolutions gal. It seems to me that the more I strive to change or seek for something, the more elusive it becomes.
In fact, the very act of seeking starts with the assumption you don’t already have the thing you’re seeking.
And that is never true.
Or to say it another way, you already have the very thing you seek. You wouldn’t know to seek it if it didn’t already exist.
As someone mentioned in last Saturday’s Awakin’ Call, humanity still resides in Eden. It’s just that we’ve lost the eyes to see it. We’ve temporarily misplaced the ability to recognize all the beauty and peace and love that is still very much here.
Instead, we focus on and feed the erroneous stories fed to us by our egos.
If all of us could just realize this, the world situation in which we collectively find ourselves would dissolve. Poof!
Together, we have been feeding a mass delusion and the world is calling for more and more of us to upgrade our consciousness.
Right now (that it takes time is part of the delusion) we have the power to dematerialize the whole thing. Simply by rehearsing and supporting a truer, more beautiful possibility.
Hint-hint! We only call things magical or miraculous because we’ve trained ourselves to believe the mass hypnosis is the truth. We’ve rendered our natural inheritance–ongoing blessings and non-stop assistance and signs–invisible. But guess what? They’re still very much here.
My only intention for the upcoming year is to release every false belief and return my eyes to Eden.

Ditto! 👌🌈🫶
Indeed!
Thank you, Pam, for another insightful post. You continue to give and inspire. I so agree with the quote from Pema Chodron. If we allow them, our old conditioned ways of the ego will continue to lead us astray. Personally, I find it very helpful to center myself upon waking with a short meditation, to remind myself that I’m in the waking-state “reality.” I also keep a few reminders handy, such as:
– “Only in the dream do you see objects.” – Papaji (“Wake Up And Roar,” by Eli Jaxon Bear)
– “Mind is the creator of everything.” – (“The Spiritual Law of Success,” by Paramahansa Yogananda)
– “Our entire experience arises in awareness.” – Rupert Spira.
Warm regards, Art 🙏🏻🧡
Great quotes from the masters. Thank you!

Dear Pam,
I am Trying to comprehend this so clear understanding or revelation I got after reading this very article – a special part of it.
I’ve been trying to find the meaning of life, to find my own purpose for years now.
And, without any super experience or brightening of colors and senses – after reading this passage, it just crept on to me – just popped in my head like any other idea.
“In fact, the very act of seeking starts with the assumption you don’t already have the thing you’re seeking.
And that is never true.
Or to say it another way, you already have the very thing you seek. You wouldn’t know to seek it if it didn’t already exist.”
So – the simple meaning of life is to be alive. Just be.
Absolutely there is no glory or mystery or nothing else. Just to be alive – live your life. 🦋
I think even if I try to findout some ”fancier or More ”meaningful” purpose of Life I am already on the side tracks.
So, to be alive means: I can try whatever I want – actually I think I get More out of pure living the more I try new things – get out the comfort zone.
But still – even with great and good and also bad experiences- the soul purpose of life is to be alive. Just breathe. 🦋
With Pure Love, Teija & Pelonteet 💝💝💝💝💝
Being alive. And being free. In mind and body! Love you, my friend!
