We all know the ‘Power of Now’, yet to stay in the present moment is actually quite difficult to do. You read about it, you understand it, but you can not do it! It requires some spiritual muscle. Understanding is not mastery. Your capacity needs to be increased to what is called the point of readiness. In this realm of time, space and perception, there are levels. Truth does not have levels, but our perception does. At different levels of perception, you attract different teachings and thus, every time you raise your energetic vibration you see your personal world differently. Understand about this- if you see the world just like you did last year, you are not growing.
Trying to understand Truth is futile. Truth is not understood in the mind, but by direct experience, which I call insightful understanding. It is an “ah-ha’ moment. So when I read a book, I tune in to the author: where he’s coming from, what his calibration is, how he sees the world, how skilfully he has put it into words. Is there any of his soul energy or essence inside the pages? And so forth. And I give allowances. Some writers are very good, but their teachings are still based on their own perspective, personal experience, and skill to put it down in words.
THE AWAKENING SOUL
If you can perform Infinite Tai Chi with the essence of your soul, it becomes an awakening moment. That essence is coming through the Infinite Tai Chi practice, and you witness the beauty of your soul, the innocence of your soul, the gift of your soul, and the power of your soul which has accumulated over aeons of time.
Each lifetime your soul will struggle with the ego mind and the matter. Every lifetime, if you grow, the soul will triumph in part over the base, animal instincts- the darkness, the heaviness of the body, the craziness, the cruelty in the mind. When the soul can triumph over matter and the ego mind, it goes back into a most natural wholesome state of being.
This is an enlightened state. Only in the eternal present moment can you return to that state. But of course, you already know there are a lot of obstacles to resting in the eternal moment! Your mind is pulled outside, the world demands your attention- your partner wants an argument, the bills come in and you worry about how you’re going to pay them. There are 101 distractions and temptations to draw your mind out into the world, let alone from the crazy mind inside.
But when the soul triumphs, it wants freedom, love, peace. This is the natural condition of the soul.
If you are conscious, you perceive. Yet everyone perceives differently. Your son/husband/wife/daughter do not see what you see, for sure. So who is right? The intellectual mind can not differentiate because it is perception. A drunk, a drug addict, a criminal- are they really bad? Could they do better? Could you have done better, these past 10 years? The answer is that you could not, including myself. The drug addict is not bad, he just made a wrong choice. At the time, he could not have done otherwise. So what did (and still does) drive us? Propensity, habitual behaviour, the energy we call karma. The karmic wind leads us into a certain direction in which you have no say whatsoever. In this, your perception is very limited.
You think you have a choice on the intellectual level you call your mind, but you don’t really. The field of mass human consciousness does it for you. You have already given it power, and it acquires a momentum. This field is more powerful than your will-power, and it drags you down. The drug addict is equally helpless to chose otherwise. The gambler has to gamble, the addict has to have heroin, someone has to pursue dangerous sports or a very risky lifestyle. A particular frequency, another layer if you will, of mass consciousness runs their lives, and it’s very powerful and hard to shake off.
In comparison, your own mind is weak. You become trapped in the field, and so you have to divert your attention to something else because you can not change your mind. However, as your consciousness expands, not only does the way you perceive your situation change, but you start to become aware of the subconscious and unconscious mind. This type of awakening is very powerful as you now have the means to really change your mind at all three levels. And to change your life.
PROJECTION
Our energy can be bright, radiant, or negative, hateful. We either deny, repress, suppress, both consciously and unconsciously, or we project it outwards onto someone or something else, because we don’t want to own it. Are you bad? No, projection is merely a function of the egoic mind. You don’t see danger within, you see danger outside. You don’t see the person you don’t like inside yourself, you see that part you don’t like outside you, in someone else. You’re not even aware you’re doing it. It takes a tremendous amount of work to have awareness of this projection because it’s so automatic.
Perception makes projection. It’s so simple, yet so hard to understand and see it. What you perceive inside is what you project outside. You only see the devastation outside of you. You can see why the spiritual training is to withdraw the senses from outside to look within. Spiritual practice requires us to look within, to come back inside. And this is how we can start to change our reality, from the inside out. It applies to everything, because everything is internal. But we’re so blind. We believe that what is happening, that company, that colleague, that client, that person, is making us feel like this.

TRANSCENDING THE FEAR
It is hard to overcome, but the power of now comes to the rescue. Stay in this present moment! Don’t be drawn outside, stay within. That which scares you outside? Look back within. So how can you transcend the fear, anger? You stay in the present moment, with the Light, not with the darkness. Be conscious, be present, in the Light, and hold the focus and brightness at your third eye to illuminate the darkness.
Keep practising Infinite Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation to cultivate the capacity to hold more Light, illuminating and expanding your consciousness. Holding this bright, radiant focus, you can look into your devastation, your addiction. You can only be free of it by illuminating it within, diving in to your fear. And it dispels. Now this is very powerful spiritual practice, and a tool to use again and again.
The teaching of perception makes projection may take many years to understand and master, but you need to start somewhere. Now is a good place to begin.
KNOWING
Knowing is different from perception. It comes from the connection with your heart. Knowing is peaceful and certain. Perception is not steady. The mind will continue to have doubt, even when it has made a decision. Knowing is different. Knowing is not judgement, and is important to cultivate this discerning wisdom for enlightened students, for souls who want to go all the way.
Perception always makes projection and the solution is to strive to perceive that only love is real. Hold that, and it will automatically extend and expand, causing the world of illusion, darkness and fear to melt in it. To steady your perception, you need the power of the eternal now. With this spiritual power, your perception of darkness, chaos and fear inside, will subside. Because of that, your inner world will become peaceful.
CHOOSE PEACE
Peace, Love and Freedom are synonymous. The condition of true love has peace in it and automatically extends to others. Projection stops, anger and suspicion stop. Instead, that peace, in the eternal moment, extends through you and outward so others experience peace. There’s no judgment, no pain. Peace extends to those who are open to receive it. And, like Jesus describes in A Course in Miracles, you perceive your fellow human beings only with love and compassion. This is an enlightened and timeless state, reflecting Heaven. Your heart and soul yearns for it, pursues it and recognises it.
Enlightenment does have different levels. Even though Truth does not fluctuate, perception does. If you’re conscious, you’ll perceive. So the task for the awakening soul is to steady that perception and to sharpen it, to achieve consistency. You have a choice- choose to judge or chose to be at peace and know. Knowing is aligned with Life. Judgement is based on your perception. You can never see a person aright. Never. This is difficult for a new spiritual student to understand and practice. So steady your mind, first. When steady enough, utilise the world to reflect what you need to heal inside. And when you can utilise the world to extend your beauty into it, you are one of the happiest people in the world.
The process and the pathway is a beautiful path. Do not go rushing to the end. Enlightenment is a journey without distance. It is revealed back to you who you are, always. And what you are, forever. You are the most precious in Life.
