Seeing the signs

Posted on by philipdodson

There are signs everywhere and yet we do not see them.

We are all looking for the next big thing, it’s how we’ve become conditioned by the collective mind. We so desperately want it that it never comes. That’s because we are sending out desperate signals to the world and desperation puts others off and they’re too busy desperately seeking something to notice anyway.

If we paused our search for the next big thing and enjoyed this moment, that is now, right now, becoming actually awake and away from the desperation of our thoughts, we’d start to see. Seeing is about awareness, about consciousness, about being aligned with our true essence and not attached to the story and the unconsciousness of the mind. Our sight is blocked by our mental blindfold of judgement and desperation to find what we so desperately seek.

When conscious, we’d see the signs and the universe would work with us to bring us all we need to experience what we seek from our soul and not our mind.

Autumn and cycle of life.

Tuesday was the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

‘So what’ you might say. It’s just another day, another season.

As humans, we have become very disconnected with nature. We spend precious little of our focus on it.

Yet, nature can teach us so much. The beautiful stillness of nature can teach us silence, consciousness and being aware. The cycles of nature, like the seasons, show us that things are born, they grow, mature and die.

This is the cycle that teaches us everything is temporary. Yet, it renews too.

When we spend time in nature, our natural essence is awakened and if we allow it, it will flourish and grow.

Autumn is a new adventure, a change, where the leaves turn and the life withers.

Autumn is an amazing time of change and it can be for ourselves too. Each moment unfolds with fresh opportunity.

Enjoy the new season, remember the cycle of life, it happens to everything.
