The Stalking Tiger is hiding something ~

tigerillusion-thumbnail.jpg

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you seen everything? Really?

The hidden image in the stalking tiger jumps out at you, once you finally see it. Kinda like life.

Is it possible that something is hidden within that problem (any question or matter involving doubt, uncertainty or difficulty) that has been stalking you? If anything is hidden within a problem it would have to be 'solutions'.  After all, what you call a problem is purely subjective. It's a mental process implying you don't have what it takes to overcome some disturbance to your peace of mind. 
 
Everything is basically neutral. You give value and meaning to everything based on your personal history. Think about it. Really, think about it.

So, what you are convinced is a problem is really your self-concept that is convinced, by influences from the past, that you are inadequate in some way. That self-concept is just doing its thing; finding something for you to feel inadequate about. If it's not one thing it's another. That's a mental construct. And you are the constructor. After all, not everyone constructs the same reaction to the same things.

So then, it seems that the mind that creates a problem is the only place to go for un-creating a problem. Until the mind is no longer convinced that you are inadequate in any way, 'solutions' to problems will be as illusive as the image that is hidden in the stalking tiger.

To really get; there is no place where the pool of infinite possibilities ends and you begin, is to find creative life-enriching options to life's challenges  that just jump out at you. Kinda like the hidden image in the stalking tiger.

So, what does it take to access a level of heightened awareness that realizes you have what it takes, whatever the stakes?  What does it take to accept the Completeness of your nature? What does it take to be convinced that there is no place where the pool of infinite possibilities ends and you begin? What does it take to absolutely know that you always know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it? What does it take?

    It's not what you saw, it's the way that you saw it.....cha, cha, cha......

    Go to fullsize image

    Trying to saw a piece of wood 'against-the-grain' is a 'rough and difficult' effort, to say the least. It's definitely not smooth sawing as sawing 'with-the-grain'.
    If you're thinking about going against the grain of your own intuitive and creative urges,  just to satisfy the urging of others or surrendering to a lack of self-confidence, get ready for 'one rough and difficult' effort.
     
    To get your attention, some form of irritation is manifested when you go against the grain of your own integrity.  Ignoring, repressing or denying  whatever it is that feels so right for you, only pops up; as a bellyache, or a headache, or a 'rough' relationship, or financial anxiety, or restless nights, or a zit on the tip of your nose.....or God only knows what else.
    Not honoring your integrity, because of some hand-me-down excuse, is a restless energy that will nag you until you give in and realize that the means to your highest ideals and desires are already encoded in  your essence. All that is required is to go with-the-grain.

    You have something of tremendous value to contribute to the world, to the universe. Your mission in life is to allow your unique innate gifts and talents to guide and direct you to realities that are even beyond your wildest dreams.  All that is required is to go with-the-grain.

    Here is your assignment:
    With a ball point or felt tip pen draw a happy face on your thumb. Two dots for the eyes
    and a smile for the mouth. Look at your thumb, and with as much conviction you can
    muster, affirm the following:
    Today I will remember to just go With-The-Grain.
    To go against what's best for me is plainly just insane.
     
    Glance at your thumb during the course of the day. It will remind you to
    question the habit of not trusting yourself, thereby breaking that habit to
    some degree. The more you question, the greater the degree.
     And you may or may not be doing or being what you
    are doing and being now. No sweat, you're on a roll.
     
    Should you decide to accept this assignment don't be surprised to find yourself
    more inclined to reveal greater peace and harmony that already is.
    As a matter of fact, you can expect it. Wanna bet?
     
    Replace a fading happy thumb while reinforcing:
    Today I will remember to just go With-The-Grain.
    To go against what's best for me is plainly just insane.
     
    This assignment is to continue each day until the next assignment in the next issue of
    'The 11th Commandment'.

    The stairway to nowhere, no how, no way~

    ascending staircase illusion
    Perpetually ascending staircase.
    How can the man go up all the time and come back to the same place over and over? Feel familiar? Ever find yourself never
    quite getting anywhere despite compromising and accepting
     less than what you really want? Huh?
    Have you thought about taking another staircase?
     
    That's a wrap!
