Moment

By Paul Fairman

The true realisation of self is achieved in each passing moment. New experiences arrive at our doorstep daily, but it's the reaction to these experiences that determine the New you. At a given point you may realise that there is no wrong or right in a given situation… there is truly only a choice to be made. The choice you choose only really serves one purpose and this is to form a stronger understanding of your One self and your true connection to All.

For many of us, going round in circles has become a way of life. The same situation may rear its head many times before we admit that a pattern is emerging. Once the pattern is realised you might say the 'hard work' has been done, it's now just a matter of changing our reaction or attitude to the given situation. When we can take a step back and realise that it's we who created the experience, we may witness its lessons and gifts in that moment. Once you have taken responsibility for your creations you are now in the position to change them. The truth of our experience dictates that once the lesson is seen through an open heart we are free to move forward into new realms of expansion. When we've let go of the emotional energies surrounding an experience we can begin to view it objectively, or from the Soul's perspective. Your soul is not concerned about how many times you wish to repeat the same lessons, it only truly cares that you view it through the heart and thus you act from there also.

Once the flow is engaged it makes it very easy to realise when you're not operating from your centre or the truest part of your being. When the melody of your life is a harmonious one, it is simple to identify when the chords of disruption have entered your arena. We are human beings; you could say one of our greatest lessons of learning is when we are moved from our centres of harmony. When our comfort zone is threatened we begin to take notice. In the first instance our immediate reactions are born out of our original programming and so we are to allow ourselves the time it may take to realise our reactions. Once our reactions are realised, we may come up with new forms that are more desirable to our new way of being. As we repeat our experiences it becomes easier to identify our responses. As we acknowledge our responses we realise the part we play in the drama, and at this point it becomes natural to alter the possible outcomes. If it is truth that you seek, the silent moment of detachment will allow the inner you to come forward. This will be the voice of love, it will show you both sides of the situation, and the view from an enlightened perspective will be yours. Again, you will be offered a choice, you may act in the old paradigm or you may act from the new you… but either way the end decision is always your own.

So living in the moment is nothing more than realising your highest self in each moment. To achieve this Divine awareness it will be natural to merge with the higher aspect of yourself. This merging is something that has been happening all of our lives, it matters not whether we choose to be aware of it or not…it happens all the same. We may create our lives blindly through trial and error or we may choose the route of positive interaction with self. Both systems of creation are equally valid, but as our rate of expansion continues I figure being a 'director' rather than an 'actor' would be a more fulfilling role to play.

This journey into self is meant to be a joyful one; one that is filled with happiness and love. The ups and downs of our lives begin to make sense when we choose to realise the middle ground that lies between our wrong and right states of mind. Your truth will be to identify the voice within and act upon the knowledge you may receive there; it will lead you to new insights about yourself and the World that surrounds you. Each step you make is always a momentous one… it is a step that carries you closer to your ultimate reward, which is the realisation of your Divine self while still in human form.
