Right Here, Right Now #135

We would never recommend trying to put lipstick on a lion. It never quite works out the way you think it will. And we would never recommend trying to tame a lion. They're quite happy being the wild beasts that they are. However, from time to time, it might be helpful to walk up to the lion on your path and give him a good bop on the nose. Because, while lions in the wild are one thing, the ones on your path are actually paper tigers and that's a very good thing to know, indeed.

Reminders

The confluence of your presence in this place and at this time is a wholly unique experience. The Unconditional Love that you are has never expressed itself as it is doing so right now. This is your leading edge. This is where all the magic and the power can be found. Always.

You are an amazing being of light, manifesting a physical reality of astounding color and sound and texture and flavor and aroma, through the magic of contrast, organized by infinite intelligence, fueled by powerful desire, and underwritten completely by unconditional love.

Here is one way to look at your life:

Living in the chaotic universe:

Random events occur to you.
Planning is a very good idea.
Strategy should be developed.
Motivation keeps you on track.
There's a lot of work to be done and you should probably start now with the parts you don't like so you can get that over with.
Be sure to treat yourself along the way because it's very hard.

Here is another way to look at your life:

Living in the intentional universe:

Perfectly timed experiences arise in delicious ways that are specifically for you.
Letting Infinite Intelligence do the organizing for you feels really good.
Everything works out for you in perfect ways.
Inspiration is available in every moment and is easily recognizable because it feels better.
You never get anything done because your life is an ever-evolving series of deliciously unfolding experiences and the idea of working hard to get it done no longer is relevant.
Every moment is delicious when you turn your attention in that way and there are an endless number of delights along the way.

If you are preparing for the chaotic universe, then you will be surrounding yourself with more and more ideas of how that chaos is the order of the day.

And, as you relax and realize that All is Well, indeed, then you will begin to notice that the intentional universe, the one you are creating yourself through your intention, is what is actually happening.

Once you awaken to your intentional universe, you will never again truly be able to function in the chaotic universe. This is a very good thing, indeed.

Freedom and wealth are not necessarily the same.

You can certainly have one without the other.

And you can have neither.

But you can also have both.

If we were in your shoes, we would put any question of this to rest by simply noticing how very much you already have of both.

Awareness begets awareness and gets easier and more obvious with just a bit of practice.

Now would be a very good time to do so.
