AWARENESS is the only ever-present constant regardless of the experience.
All experiences have a duration.
All experiences come and go.
What doesn’t come and go?
Now.

Does CHANGE bring up fear in you? New MJ Awakening Blog
July 4, 2018
That life is endlessly changing (and thus not controlable as how do you control change?) bring up any fear/resistance in you?
What a great opportunity to be present with this fear/resistance to change. Why? Because EVERYTHING, without exception, is made of change.
You, me, the stars, the sky, the earth, family members, pets, all of it… is ever changing… that’s its nature.
There is absolutely nothing, literally NOTHING, to hold on to.
LIFE IS MADE OF CHANGE.
Let everything go… all of it… breathe and release as you drop into timeless presence here/now.

Freedom is ever free… whether or not its dreaming. New MJ Awakening Blog
July 2, 2018
HAVE YOU NOTICED? THAT WHICH PRESUMES THE NIGHTTIME DREAM TO BE REAL TURNS AROUND AND CALLS IT “JUST A DREAM” EVERY MORNING UPON AWAKENING!
“…Then this same movement that completely was believing the dream state, now says the wake state is to be believed. Do you not see that it calls the dream state false even though it was believing the dream state moments before awakening to the wake state? So how can you trust that and what it tells you to believe about the wake state?”
-Sri Summairu
Does something in you resonate with what Sri Summairu is pointing at? Why do we have dreams in the first place? We can go into a lot of stories about it, i.e., it reveals the unconscious,etc.
But could it be to serve as a point of comparison for convincing the mind, i.e, first the mind claims (and then believes) upon awakening each morning a dream is fake, but that this, what we call the waking state, is real, and that what we just experienced was not real!? But wait a second… a moment ago the mind reacted as if the sleeping dream WAS REAL!!
Sri is asking a very profound question that is rarely considered: What if all states are dream states?
Once we deeply realize there is no freedom in the dream, we can let go and relax trying to control it… this is the “energetical” part, because if ANY part of you is still believing the dream, something will not feel right. Freedom is ever free… whether or not its dreaming.

p.s. As I went to post this blog on wordpress, Mabel Fernandez was posting this on facebook!:
SEE ALL AS DREAM AND STAY OUT OF IT
“Maharaj tells us that whenever every single individual dreams, he has the actual experience of the world being created in consciousness. When a person is not fully awake, and consciousness merely stirs, he dreams; and in his dream, in that tiny spot of consciousness, in a split second, is created an entire world exactly similar to the world outside, and in that world are seen the earth, the sun, hills and rivers, and
people (including himself!) behaving exactly as in the world
outside.
While the person is dreaming the dream world is very much real: his experiences-both pleasure and pain-are extremely realistic. But once he wakes up, the entire dream
world merges in the consciousness in which it was created. In the waking state, says Maharaj, the world emerges because of ignorance [Maya J and takes you into a waking dream state.
Both sleep and waking are misnomers because you are only dreaming; you dream that you are awake, you dream that you are asleep. Only the Dhnyani knows true waking and
true sleeping. See all as a dream, and stay out of it …. The main point to grasp is that you have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, desires. and fears, and that you have imprisoned yourself in it. Realize that, break the spell, and BE FREE.”

What is your relationship to THOUGHT?
Meditate/ponder/contemplate this deeply…
Your answer is everything for nothing will have a greater impact on your present moment experience!

CHANDY: There is no “You”. Only thoughts. The imagined “You” is the only cause of all the sorrows.
