SEE WITH FRESH EYES

Consciousness is the key to good living -- the more conscious we are, the more effective and successful and fulfilling our actions can be. 

This is a primary fact of life. Yet many people don’t even consider the possibility of developing their consciousness. They take their consciousness for granted and assume there’s nothing to develop, as if their consciousness were already at its peak.

his is an egotistical self-deception.  And those who get past it discover the possibility of a great new way of life -- one of continual self-expansion.

If you’d like to expand your consciousness right now, here’s an exercise to try: imagine yourself as you once were as a three year old child.  At that time you had no preconceptions. Everything was open for discovery and amazement.   You naturally saw with wide open innocent eyes. So now, see if you can bring yourself back to that earlier innocent childhood state.  And then take a visual tour of your surroundings from a child’s point of view.

Once you succeed at making this shift of innocent-seeing, try seeing the people in your life in the same way -- as if for the first time, with no judgments and opinions.

To get into an innocent child’s wide-eyed state of mind may take a serious effort at playacting. However, if you do it successfully, you may gain an improved perception, connection and interaction with all in your world ... and have some truly surprising and enlightening experiences.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
