Meaning of Conscious Living

Express Your Soul Gifts

We all have at least a soul gift, a natural ability, a talent. It is something that we do better than most others. It is possible that it lays hidden or gets buried for a variety of reasons. What we need to remember is that our souls have intended for us to express it in our lifetimes. If you have been having the sneaky feeling that you are in the “wrong” job or finding your life a drag everyday, you may well be out of alignment in how you are expressing yourself.

Are You A Cracked Pot?


(photo by *Suzie*)

I have just come across the story about the cracked pot. It is a popular tale that came from India. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to re-publish it on my site. There is so much meaning to the story! The story is about our sense of self worth. Many of us do not realize how beautiful we are even for all our imperfections. When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we can only see flaws. We practice a lot of self judgement. In fact, in many instances, we judge ourselves more harshly than we judge others. We do not realize that our imperfections are also about who we are and what we bring to the world. If you do not know the story of the cracked pot, here is how it goes….

Me In Every Thought


(photo by Jacob Botter)

From the time you are born, you are taught to identify your ego as the “I”. You learn that “my name is ________” , and soon you proceed to “this is my toy car” and “I am upset”. You identify yourself with things and if you did not get what you wanted, you get angry. You experience suffering. You also identify yourself with your gender, race, religion and country. All these make up “me and my story”. From young, you are already conditioned in your thinking.

Intuitive Messages To Who I Am


(photo by seabamirum)

I am a sparrow. I am a humble creature with no particular claim to fame. I am not powerful like the eagle, colorful like the parrot or majestic like the peacock.

I am small and plain, indistinguishable from other sparrows. Yet every morning, I announce the dawn. And I don’t just whisper. I sing my heart out.

From Outer to Inner Space


(photo by alicepopkorn)

We explore the frontiers of outer space, in the hope of understanding more about the Universe. Outer space, as we often visualized it to be, comprises of the planets, stars, the different galaxies, and the spaces in between. While many of us are fascinated with the discovery of possible life on other planets or stars, we forget that we hold many answers to the questions that we seek from the space inside us. And in fact, as a reader of Akashic Records, I would like to add that we hold the answers to the meaning of existence within and not on the outside. Quantum physics confirms what we already know about the intelligence of this space.

Resolving Conflicts: Peace or Drama?

Peace Or Drama?

Most of us condemn those who choose war over peace, violence over compassion. But what about us? How are we like in our daily lives?

If you have been experiencing much conflict in your relationships with others, then it is that while you say you value peace, your actions may well be demonstrating otherwise.

Lose Yourself To Find Yourself

self discovery

Lose yourself to find yourself seems like a paradox but it’s exactly what you may discover in your self-discovery journey.

I had used the metaphor of the mask to illustrate the dangers of identifying too closely with our masks. Problems arise when you think you are the mask. In reality, your mask is not you.

Your mask is just something that you wear that covers who you really are. When you lose the mask, it feels as if you are losing yourself. You may even resist the process. The losing of yourself is an illusion. When you start on a journey for self discovery, you will find that what you are really losing is your ego or form identification.

The Masquerade Play Of Life

Masks are often used in masquerade parties. They are costume accessories that disguise one’s true appearance. In today’s post, I am using the metaphor of the masks as facade devices. You use masks to hide your true self. You find comfort and solace in that the world does not know who you really are. There can be also a different mask that you wear for various groups of people. After all, you have important public images or persona to uphold.

(photo by Carlos R; the words on the Mickey coins say “where a kid can be a kid”.)

Many of us are just too uptight when we think about money. Well, consider relaxing instead. Tune into positive feelings by lightening up!! It will also be great if we are able to laugh at ourselves in the process. We realize how attached we have been to something which has no permanence. It is true that we cannot bring money with us to our next plane of existence…wherever that is! Perhaps, in that moment of awakening, our hangups start to dissolve. We experience a breakthrough!
