To be aware of our true Self requires the opposite of doing - it's a letting go, a relaxing into, welcoming the recognition of what already Is. This requires no effort whatsoever.
-
Free will comes from knowing who we are, what makes us happy and following this will, unencumbered by self concepts, beliefs in limitation or fearful thoughts
-
Attention cannot multitask. It can quickly flit back and forth from one thing to another to give the illusion of mutitasking but in reality it can never be in two places at the same time.
-
This is why we don't need to try to still the mind or rid ourselves of limited self-concepts.
-
When we feed our true Self with our attention we are withdrawing attention from our little, limited self. Without the support and nourishment of our attention our limited thought system simply withers away on its own.
-
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
-
This is the same reason why we find we find it so hard to break habits and resolve many of the big problems in our lives. When we focus on solving a problem our attention is on the problem and then that attention just perpetuates the problem.
-
The ones that find it easy are those that see themselves as they want to be and feed that vision with their attention instead.
-
So, instead of 'trying' to get into flow, and instead of battling with our doubts and habitual thinking patterns, when we simply choose to give our attention to our true Self, this is what grows in our awareness. The rest just falls away.
-
It is the power of our intention and not our own effort that we need to trust.
-
Our true Self is the answer to all our problems
-
Flow is the answer.
-
Would you rather have your ego handle this or our genius, would I rather try to deal with this on my own or harness the power and intelligence of the universe, the life force itself?"
-
"I can choose to step back and enjoy letting our True Self nourish me and lead the way"
-
I choose to step back and allow Truth to shine true"
-
Today I choose to step back and just enjoy letting my true Self express itself and shine upon my day.
-
I am entitled to miracles. I can choose, in spite of my fear and resistance, to let my true Self shine true and trust that in choosing it is done
-
I know it sounds paradoxical, but it's in letting go of our intellectual curiosity and relaxing into the feeling of Love growing within is that enables us to understand.
-
When we accept ourselves as we really are the understanding comes automatically as part of the package. This is the feeling that must come from within.
-
we can at any moment and in any circumstance step back from the world and our thoughts and choose to simply rest and receive. This is the easiest thing in the world. Choose it and trust that in choosing it is done for it our Self that knows the way to us.
-
In doing this we become a magnet for everyone and everything we need, intuition replaces thought, knowing replaces questioning, serendipity replaces effort and perfect ease replaces stress.
-
Just choose to rest and receive
-
'Who am I
-
Flow comes from non-resistance – a still mind from letting all things be exactly as they are. It comes not from managing the events in our busy lives or resisting negative feelings or emotions but from a willingness to be open to receive - a quiet, effortless, playful, open receptivity to the guidance, the support and the gifts that our intuition and the universe long to give us
-
When we allow ourselves to be defenceless and sink deep into the direct experience of the feeling without an agenda or need to resolve anything, insights reveals the lessons, and these lessons are the stepping stones to a life of endless flow, creativity and healing.
-
How can I be truly helpful here
-
there is absolutely nothing that our true Self cannot happily resolve if we are simply willing to receive, by letting go of our expectation of how this ought to be resolved.
-
In real ‘Flow' we receive instead of plan, give instead of organize, because all of life bends to help us when we get out of our own way and invite it in.
-
And best of all, there's an incredible ease and quiet confidence that comes from recognizing that once we've learned how to step back and allow our divine spark to shine, it's quite literally impossible to fail at anything we set our heart on.
-
We don't need to organize our lives when we learn how to use the power of our intent for good because everyone and everything comes to serve us
-
Flow we can learn to access it directly and bring it with us to transform any chaotic situation, bring peace wherever there is stress, bring light-heartedness to anything 'serious' and naturally resolve any problem for the benefit of all concerned.
-
when we let our attention rest in This we are at perfect ease and that ease infuses everyone and everything around us, infusing everything we do.
-
Being our Self is the easiest and simplest thing in the world.
-
Who we really Are does not change and cannot suffer in any way. This is where our treasure lies. Find This and we find everything.
-
The solution to this impediment is to just get started
-
So, the trick is just to appreciate and enjoy the white space between our thoughts, take the quiet time to step back from the world without agenda or anticipation and allow our Self to nourish us. Just enjoy this. And remember that we don't need to do anything to get here - it's our Self that knows the way into our awareness, we just need to choose it - trust the power of our intent. Choose it and trust that in choosing it is done. Trust our Self to give us certainty.
-
Simply let your attention rest in this feeling of your own Beingness and see what happens.
-
In simply stepping back like this we are free of any recurring fear, habitual behaviour or debilitating addiction - no therapy, no drugs, no process, no effort - WE ARE FREE!
-
give our full attention to what we really what, and create that. This leads us nicely to the second principle - 'Trusting Intent'.
-
When we allow all things to teach us, we create a virtuous circle of learning and accomplishment that builds a natural path of least resistance to our nirvana.
-
Self Trust. Stepping back in trust and allowing ourselves to be carried by our True Self is the most restful, enjoyable and powerful thing we can do in this life.
-
The Truth within us dispels our illusions just as one candle will light a cave that has been dark for thousands of years.
-
step back, relax and feel the warmth of the Love that envelops us as we recognise our Self in this space.
-
'Why am I doing this?'. - Is it to experience my true Self or for some other reason?
-
Am I willing to let go of control and what I think I want, so my true Self can bring me what I really want?
-
Whatever we do and wherever we are, the choice is always between expressing Love or some form of fear, and whichever we choose the outcome has to reflect this choice.
-
Right here, right now, do I choose to express my ego or my real Self
-
willing to let go of control and allow our true Self to come out and play.
-
Instead of trusting my beliefs, my doubts, my reasoning or anything I have read or told, would it not make more sense to just test this out and see whether or not it works for me? What have I to loose by trying?"
-
learnt how to relax and get out of our own way.
-
Those incredible joyful, transcendent, 'flow' moments where we just know we can accomplish anything and the world is our oyster, always occur when we let slip the normal control our mind tries to maintain over our world, allowing us to relax into the feeling of our own Beingness.
-
It's a letting go of all effort, a willingness to relinquish control and allow all things to be exactly as they are, that allows our mind to fall still and create the space to simple Be.
-
And in the state of simply being aware of our own Presence, our ‘genius’ and natural 'flow' show up and shine through as a unavoidable aspect of who we Are.
-
The only thing that's required to learn and master anything is a clear mind - a relaxed, open, trusting awareness of what Is - a felt sense of our own Presence.
-
When we do anything with a clear mind, learning and mastery occur spontaneously.
-
It's a state of 'feeling' not thinking
-
It's thought that creates the doubts and fears, that blocks our natural ability to learn and accomplish.
-
Happiness happens of its own accord in the space between our thoughts, and we always do our best when we are happy.
-
learning to trust our true Self – our intuition and our direct awareness of what is really happening here in the present.
-
Our true nature is totally compelling and infectious and so we quite literally change the world simply by becoming the change we want to see in the world.

remise of this essay is that those exquisite but all too rare moments when we experience 'flow', when we are truly creative, happy and intuitively know exactly what is needed, are simply those instances when we glimpse our original and true nature. It sets out to show how, instead of trying to fathom the conditions for flow, we can realise this 'true nature' and make 'flow' our normal way of being, wherever we are and in whatever we do.
