“Open Awareness is not something you identify with; it’s something you realise you are when all identifications fall away.”

Awakening is not transactional, it’s not a goal to achieve, it’s a calling of grace in our heart that is listened to. It’s a sinking in to our nature, our birth right. It’s a letting go and a surrender to the present moment and all that that is. So as such, it’s a gift.

How can it be possible to contain all of these seeming contradictions and paradoxes?
Yet it is very much possible, as we all are the living example of this. The living example that the Self has room for it all. While the mind cannot fathom this… the heart sinks into the truth of it.

“Let us not be led by fear and hate, but by love and trust. For as long as we have our loyalty be to love we will have the strength to walk through even the darkest of nights.”

“Forgiveness bottoms out in the recognition of there’s nothing to forgive; life is orchestrated perfectly as a rhythm of growth”
- That sense of wrongness in you…Give this to the heart.The heart will have roomfor even the mostpernicious sense of wrongness.The mind will chatter awaysaying there’s a need to act on it, fix itbut the heart…the heart can just letthat sense of wrongness be there,holding space for it…giving love to it even,understand it’s misunderstanding.The heart has compassion and spacefor even the worst sense of wrongness.

“Have your loyalty be to this moment, not to the imaginations of what the conditioned mind says it ‘should’ be.”

“Letting go of past habits, conditioning and unexplored assumptions is a natural byproduct of awakening and very much part of the process.”

“Forgiveness comes from acceptance. When we can accept all that occurs into our hearts then the fullness of true forgiveness can be felt.”

A little morning tidbit from a conversation on my Beyond Imogen WhatsApp group. Loving the conversations and sharings on there that have been happening… To think, I was so skeptical about this idea of a WhatsApp group 🤷♀️

In response to someone recognizing the need for surrender in their life…
“When we surrender to life the recognition comes about that even the efforts brought about by apparent personal ‘will’ are actually the effects of Grace too; A seed planted in the heart that we claimed as our own through misunderstanding. In this way even doing is an act of surrender when it’s seen that there is no doer, just life playing as life does through you as this embodiment of life.”

“We cannot love another fully if we don’t yet know love for ourselves, and we can’t fully love ourselves if we haven’t yet found the love for another. They go hand in hand. They are two sides of the same coin.”
