When change is upon you, do not fear it but be open to it. Be curious, be available, and seek to understand it. When we speak of being aware or awake, we mean to encourage just this kind of openness, with all your senses ready to accept some new ideas, new insights, new ways of being that you have not considered before. To be awake and aware is to be ready to receive anything, anyone, any idea or vision, just as you would an old friend whom you have not seen in a long while and whom you receive with open, loving arms, eager to hear where they have been and how they are doing. What is life showing you right now that you are not receiving with open, loving arms?

Sending you love,

Soulbyte for Tuesday August 25, 2020

Notice how thoughts come to help or hinder. Unbidden they enter the sphere of your awareness and tell you this or that, taking control and seizing your attention. Attend to them by countering with empty mind, with a mind of no thought, for an empty mind is a place where the creative may flourish, where the Great Oneness may find you. In the empty room of your empty mind, wisdom, clarity, and love may find a home, come unbidden as well, but oh, so much more welcome! Study your own mind and how your thoughts come to control and trick you, how they may even enslave you in doing that which you would not. Turn from them and let your mind be open and pure instead. And then see what happens!

Sending you love,
