   Didn’t realize your Time changed at all, I’m a bit confused, but that’s normal! I’m a morning person so will enjoy earlier sunrise, not so much the Early dark of night, have to change habits to include creativity. We have our first real snow fall, funny how it plays with the psychy to switch overnight To Winter, now where are my tall winter boots?! ‘Early to bed, early to rise, makes us healthy wealthy and wise!’ Blessings one and all, we are here for each other, think I’ll do a lil quiet drumming before heading to work for the day…. Love, Namaste.

   Thank you for sharing that Diane! Today's "earlier" sunrise was a real treat!

   Time seems to pass very slowly yesterday! I too felt the change in time as if I was experiencing it back east ! It was a very relaxing day! I am embracing the opportunity to go deeper into the darkness as the daylight continues to become less!

   I turned on the news tonight and time seemed to drag. Everyone was time traveling, and really stuck in a personal point of view. What a drag!!

   Although, on the political realm, it will be interesting to feel how "woke" we are as a nation. Also, a great opportunity to address and manage our expectations.

   Yesterday I felt as if I was sitting in a huge pile of life's problems. This morning I had a fresh start. Nothing has changed except I am remembering there is a broad view. There is always a bigger picture into which "problems" are are just small pieces. We will not see the truth until they have all fit into place.

   My body/mind reacted to the time change here in Arizona. Arizonians do not observe daylight savings time (for half of the year?). My body/mind reacted to the "change in time" by relaxing into the rhythm and feel of the change in "clock time" this morning. I felt energized by the idea that I was getting an earlier start on the day. I felt like a child again. I was keenly aware that I had the ability to change my relationship with the movement of time. And, that the dreamer within me is clearly an eternal child at heart; welcoming me home from a dream of separation, from my true Self.

    

   I also noticed that time seemed to slow down as I followed an urge (intent) to relax into the timeless essence of the day. I was keenly aware that both the body and the mind were already parked in neutral, inviting me to surf my way through the day. Time is a conceptualization, but it is also a powerful perceptual tool. We can sense our way into eternity once we decide to challenge our domesticated ways. Seeking answers to "life's problems" has to be subservient to making room for true understanding.

   Nice Catch Diane. When attention is rooted in Truth, our thoughts are no longer petty tyrants.

   A favorite Buddhist quote of mine is: "Keep the view as vast as space; keep your actions as fine as flour."

   That quote is right on Betty!

   Someone said the other day, with a smile on her face, “what other people think about me is none of my business.”

    THINK!

    TRUTH: before we speak to others!

    T – Is it true?

    R – Is it helpful?

    U – Is it inspiring?

    T – Is is necessary?

    H – Is it kind?

    I do not have access to sensory input if my attention is mired in seeking out information only available on a narrow spectrum of awareness. I am blinded by my own shadow, and it feels heavy. Insecurity and uncertainty need to faced; once and for all.

     

    It is the Dreamer "I" that is perpetually locked in neutral; dreaming a fluid and dynamic dream. Everything is allowed. Without an attachment to a particular point of view, he always seems to be surprised, and entertained.

     

    I love flying around as a bird surfing the winds; not looking for anything, open to everything.

    I agree Keshav. When I am in a state of resistance my attention wants to include some form of baggage into the journey. However, when I am willing to let go of “my stuff” I get to go on a beautiful ride. I find the letting go of a doer to be essential in journey work.

    I love shamanic journeying! However, maneuvering through subtle planes of reality is a challenge when my attention is mired in personal projections. Journeying to subtle planes of existence is distracted by the baggage I am holding onto in ordinary reality. I can mistake the search for answers with the simplicity of remaining open to true understanding – here and now!

    The simplest (not easy) way to shamanic journey is: to clean up taking things personally.
