What Happens When We Understand?

Tell me what you pay attention to
and I will tell you who you are.
~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

I wanted to ponder with you for a moment...

What if... right beneath our noses was a different kind of Life. I am not talking about fixing our circumstances or 'Life situation'. I'm not talking about self improvement.

I am talking about the way we see things. I am talking about where our attention is and how that determines the world we live in, who we 'are' and the Life we live.

The quality of one's life depends on the quality of attention.
~ Deepak Chopra

I am talking about what it really means to be happy. Insightful. Wise. Relaxed. Creative. Energetic.

All of these qualities stem from understanding.

"Understanding what?" you ask?

Understanding that when we lose interest in mental chatter and allow attention to relax into it's source, then everything changes, without changing anything at all.

For lack of attention a thousand forms of
loveliness elude us every day.
~ Evelyn Underhill

What happens when we develop an unconditional openness toward every moment of Life as it appears?

What happens when we get out of the way and allow Life to unfold and we fall in love with the process of Life's bloom and we watch and realize that we ARE Life in the deepest and truest way?

Attention is the most basic form of Love
~ John Tarrant

What happens when we realize that Life is what we ARE and to BE Life, we need do nothing at all?
