AOC Reprise: Inner Knowing 2

“Nature is an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in.” George Washington Carver

Practice #3: Inner Knowing
Consult and listen to your inner wisdom before making each and every decision—large and small.

May you remember to remember so many times today, that you dwell in a state of beautiful flow with life around you.

“A mind that knows its own depth can see the brilliant magic of the world. The world communicates to us because we’re available, like a flower in spring. Conditions are ripe, and the flower opens. Wisdom and compassion attune us to life, and the environment responds…Causes and conditions meet in such a way that we know when it’s time to take action–or not. When we’re awake enough to see what the world is presenting, conditions can show us the right time to build a house, start a school or expand our business…

Auspicious occurrences indicate that our mind is beginning to relax into the present moment. When we are able to relax, we realize that the present moment is all there is. What we think of as the past is only a present memory, and what we think of as the future is a projection of the present. The wisdom of the dragon tells us to slow down, let go, and be present for the moment, for that is where all power and magic lie.”
- Sakyong Mipham (dharma heir to Trungpa Rimpoche, founder of Shambhala)
