“If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap. If you want happiness for a day – go fishing. If you want happiness for a month – get married. If you want happiness for a year-inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime-help someone else.” ~ Chinese Proverb

Some of us are seeking the so-called higher consciousness, enlightenment, multidimensional awareness, pineal gland activation and something beyond what we are experiencing now. We are seeking fulfillment, purpose and answers to the deepest questions of life.
What if the answers were so simple we were unable to accept them? What if we got caught up in the hype of leaving the body, going beyond the 5 senses, and needing the answer to the mystery was leading us astray? What if the entire point was to fully get into the body, experience the 5 senses and live fully in the mystery? What if ordinary waking consciousness was and is the state of consciousness you have been seeking all along?
Through a sort of spiritual addiction we are constantly striving for something that is beyond the magic and awe of day-to-day life, we have been tricked to look beyond as if our cup were not already full. You have spiritual free will here, the purpose of life is what you decide it is and the higher consciousness is lending a helping hand. It is through human interaction not through utopian thoughts and wishful thinking. We are here to live in the mystery, the more we can set our intentions on what we would like to create from the heart while allowing “what is” the more we will be in the flow of life.
Let go of the idea that there is any thought, book, experience, practice or knowledge necessary for you to reach a “higher level”. Enlightenment is simply recognizing that you’re already in it wherever you are and experiencing it fully. You embody that knowing when you begin to go out of your way to help others and interact with those around you. The real higher consciousness is actual ACTIONS of kindness. An enlightened master stops to give the homeless a dollar without judgment, asks the person serving them their name, holds the door open, and lives in the mystery of life
