For me, in this human/angelic experience, it can seem to require a lot of living to awaken while perceiving things as they really are.  I have observed myself with tendencies of relying on forms of things (or results), for a sense of well-being.  To really take an honest look at myself, in this regard, is very sobering.
 

I have lived most of my life reaching forth to achieve goals of many types; be it vocational, athletic, or arts related.  Goals can be a healthy part of the living process as long as they are kept in their true perspective; not taken too seriously and out of context.  Because, whether I achieve some said goal or not is quite secondary to learning how to be in life’s flow.
 

Flowing is actually a gentle, integrative and completely conscious state of Being.  It doesn’t mean that one has to becomes some kind of a numb vessel that is removed from caring about life; no, not at all.  It’s being completely aware, but not subject to that which one is a aware of.  It’s allowing perfect flow, of letting things be…  And, further, it’s to let things evolve as they are naturally evolving.  Being conscious is the greatest level of attainment that I have become consciously aware of.
 

Does being conscious serve anyone?  Yes, it serves the “whole” and it is of the greatest service to the invisible and visible realms of Being.  It is actually the truest way to completely participate in life’s natural flow.
 

I, personally, find myself feeling a lot of gratitude for my world, the Heaven and the Earth, the more that I allow my mind and heart to be still and conscious.  Patience, tranquility, understanding, assurance, radiance, wisdom and love characterize the creative process of consciousness.
