OmMaYaOm Conscious Living

listening.... Have you ever noticed how challenging it is to listen? To truly listen. Listening without interrupting the other person, disturbing, revolting, reacting, attacking, justifying, being right, or assuming. Listening without projecting what the other person meant, and how it's going to affect me. Listening without understanding. Listening with innocence, in presence. Listening is when I and the other person disappear and there is only presence. There is no separation, because there are no two - there is only one. There's only me. Without noticing, I separated myself from the other. I did not see that I was the one who had projected the other, who had created the other, inside of me. The other was simply my projection, my reflection. me. We put ideas on each other without seeing who the source of all these ideas is. We are too busy pointing out, blaming, comparing, instead of seeing that everything is within us. Listening is the taking of responsibility, that all ...

We all have the urge to understand and know what this is all about, what do we live for?  We do not always stop and ask, why do I live as I live?  what do I want?  We were used to believe and not to question.  How do we live our lives as we live?  What makes us follow an idea that does not always satisfy our will? What makes us be happy forever?

When is a good time for change? Is there any time other than Now? Yet, it seems to us that we have all the time in the world to change. We tell ourselves that now is not a good time, That first we need to finish this thing and then we will make this change. That we don't have a choice right now, but later on it will happen. We are simply not being honest with ourselves. Let's start by admitting that first of all, we are afraid of change, because it is unknown. What will happen? How will it affect us? Second, let's admit that we are lazy, and we don't want to deal with the challenges of the change. After these two things are out of the way, Now we can observe and inquire into the matter. Does it support us, to be limited to our own ideas? Do we want to live a life of limitation? And if not, what is the way to change?
