 Emptiness... is one of the most misunderstood aspects of meditation and consciousness. Normally... you would say: "Clear your mind" is the goal of meditation. I've heard this so many times. This is impossible. Try this instead. Become... everything. Behind what the mind writes. In pure beingness. The goal of meditation isn't to clear the mind. It's to enter the body with unwavering focus and attention. {A deep listening without reaction} You can then observe the nature of the mind -- see how it distorts and labels and judges -- notice the direction and pattern of the thoughts Dissociate from the thoughts -- go to the space beyond them -- WHICH IS FULL OF BEINGNESS! Emptiness -- is fullness. True connection. To do this:  <<  F ocus  >> on the body.  Center of the head. Draw a column down the spine, inside the body. Feel everything. Stay there and feel . Deep, slow, intentional breaths.  Play with the breath to open the gateway.  Become ...

When it rains... love it. Find a tree. Find a water drop connecting to that tree. Feel its beauty and bliss. The electrons in the water molecules are attracted to the tree and any surface -- such as your hand. Feel this connection. Feel the electrons and sensation of being.  {{{  There you are... you're finding it... }}} Notice the refraction of light through the drop -- and how it inverts the image of what is behind it. Then... become it. Become it all.  { Realize you are the universe observing itself } ★ Satori   ★ ==>   A sudden moment of enlightenment when you realize what all this is   << beyond thought >>  and you connect with the Truth of Existence in pure perception Yeah.... You've got it And here... Bliss out on some raindrops. Pause and feel the Universe and notice the infinite beauty instead of just thinking about where you are going to in the future... The future that never comes... Be here  << NOW >>...

Well, the first step to Awakened Self is food. Your relationship with food, what food, when, quantity. But that's a whole other conversation. (Later post?)  This... is the first step to realizing the Truth of Existence from within : Observe without thought. Feel into the true form of everything without an opinion about it. See that "things" are not what your mind thinks they are. Everything is transient happenings, motions, occurrences that appear and then return. The Formless becoming Form in motion and interaction. Become this. Awaken within this.  It's so simple. To awaken consciousness, and see the Truth of Existence for what it really is, Observe without Opinion. Notice how what is convincing you otherwise... are your thoughts! The ego is trying to preserve itself, hahaha!!!!! (Find the buddha laugh from this... and stay there!) No matter what your goal is (calm center, untangling your mind, realizing God, seeing yourself clearly, to calm the storm..., to answe...

From Iceland... at the base of a cryovolcano. In a tide pool, with the water fully receded at low tide. Feeling the Power of the Full Moon in its glory. Seeing the water fill the space... then remove itself into rivers of fractal channels, reminded me of how consciousness works. (Or showed me...) Water is Consciousness. Have you had a dream filled with water? That's consciousness. That means there are big shifts happening. Notice where the water takes you, what it is clearing, what it is bringing. Don't fight it, feel it and flow with it. But perhaps most importantly, when the tides go out... Raw Truth is revealed. Let your Truth, the raw consciousness layers, be exposed. Feel the rawness and vulnerability of what that feels like. Open it to the air and sky and just... be with it. Touch it. Put your fingers into it. Feel the Earth. Feel your inner layers of Truth.  Water comes in... water goes out... And a single waterfall...  So tiny. This is so extraordinary! So much love. ...

Zen-inward on this video for a while. Let it become you, you become it.  {{ What does it show you? }} And how does it connect to this? All things pop into and out of existence, and return to the source "ocean" This is the "Law of Impermanence" as well as the nature of the "Quantum Foam" Just look at what protons and neutrons are. Bubbling balls of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons in such remarkable madness there is no way of knowing where any of the quarks are or what they are doing in any given moment. Yet... when looked at from afar, we know their energy and therefore their mass .   (Please visit and support Matt Strassler -- he is amazing!) Energy is constant, but the precise form it takes changes more times than we can count in any given moment. Such it is with spirit energy as well Putting experience of consciousness into physical form sometimes reduces its five dimensional nature (see future video on this profound insight) into only a 2D or at best...

Have you ever... watched a flame? And felt the power of the Heat Cave - its heart? [Check out the difference between these first two - Isn't that crazy?! For me the second one seems sped up but it's "normal" time ♥️] ..and found the fire spirits dancing? What do you see in each picture? Look.... c l o s e l y ✨️ 💖  Isn't it fascinating what we don't see because of how fast the flames are moving, changing, and evolving? They are like creatures... but they are glowing soot - the remnant from the chemical interaction of wood and oxygen - an over 1,000 degrees incandescent blackbody.  Let that marvel seep into you as you soak up every molecule of truth in the face of such an entity.  It makes me wonder... what else we are missing because it happens at a different timescale than our feeble brains are trained to notice... What do you feel? {} ☆ One-der ☆ {} Have you ever danced with existence? Become the spirits? Become the flame? {{ Do it << NOW >> }}...

  Pick up a leaf 🍃  Hold it in your hand Feel it's existence All that shaped it, formed it How it turned sunlight into food and sent those nutrients down the stems Feel that fractal pattern. Notice it. See its details.  Feel the genes that wrote its formation, its points and dips and intricate shapes Go to the space where you realize that it's absolutely crazy that this thing exists . Stay there. Go deep into that space. Laugh if you need. Don't think about it... Feel it Become the process Allow your body and breath to experience what they need to sink into and evolve the connection you have with the truth of this marvelous creation of existence Let go of all thoughts that try and convince you this is silly or weird or to stop too soon or anything that prevents you from immersing yourself into this experience I promise you, it's worth it {{Go to the Inner Universe of all things}}

You may have a slight curiosity, or catch glimpses in the news.  Or you might have long lingering fascinations that flow through you. Wonderments. Little Questions or Intrigues floating and buzzing around that may return in the strangest moments or the middle of the nignt. Or a little voice in your head, heart, or soul that asks... "What is all this...?" Perhaps the path to connection isn't just by looking at pictures of what is out there (but please do that - it's amazingly powerful), but what is inside as well... Here are my five most compelling reasons to connect with not just the outer Universe, but the inner Universe. Welcome to the Inner Astrophysicist. 1) Perspective.  Things can seem overwhelming at times. Sometimes, knowing the size, scale, and immensity of the universe can help send a wave of calm through your being just by touching the grander scale of all things. The big... can be shown to be.  The Universe knows what it is doing. You can trust and let go...
