So how does one respond to the inevitable fatigue that comes with absorption? Take a few long breaths, and empty the mind. Just let go and relax into a few moments of stillness. There might be lots of things popping into our consciousness. Some unfinished tasks, some deadlines, old worries, what do I do next etc. We can get carried way by one of those thoughts and spend time and energy on that. This could happen even unconsciously. Sometimes one of these digressions could lead us into significant insights and would enhance our sense of who we are and would be in line with our journey, but oftentimes, it leads us along path those are not related to our journey.

Every moment we could be in the following states: 1.Deep Sleep 2.Dreams in Sleep 3.Waking Let us now focus only on the waking moments for the present. What does high defn living look like in practical terms? Focused and absorbed in a task. Currently I am focused on writing this piece. I am not worried about what others are going to think about my writing. I am not worried or bothered whether I could be better utilizing my time. For how long is such absorption possible? Perhaps after 20 mins or so , I would not know what to write (this very thought is creating a conflict), something more urgent may crop up that requires my attention, or simply my mind would be fatigued and would want some moments without any focus. Then I would perhaps take a break, and most probably eat something (even when not hungry). Or might chit chat with someone and might end up gossiping or talking about say the economy and get into endless and pointless discussions. This would get me out of focus.

In my work, the first step to helping people realize and understand the uniqueness of their bliss, is to help them feel the "physicality" of where they are right now. ____As a result of the Abraham Hick material and the Secret, it is necessary for us to take the next step in the evolution of our Happiness. ____Here's where it gets confusing for most. WE FORGET THAT WE ARE MAKING UP THE RULES AS WE GO ALONG. TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE INTERESTING, WE TRY TO KEEP FROM BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR CREATION BY JUDGING AND COMPARING OUR RULES WITH OTHERS. YIKES!!! NO ONE WANTS TO ADMIT THAT!!!____To stay in the hellicopter of life and still feel and experience life was tricky for the Masters. After so many examples to follow, we STILL get tripped up. Sometimes IT IS VITAL TO FEEL LIFE in order to transcend higher in our our unique contribution! My two cents, thank you so much for your post, will share with my readers...You are very very cool!

I saw them in the spam filter approved them, but they have disappeared. I can't find them anywhere. Will continue looking. Hopefully it's just a glitch that will sort itself out.

These things have to be experienced and become "real" to use. The first step is to conceive that there might just be a better way of perceiving everything. I have used Byron Katie's "The Work" and other similar forms of inquiry and forgiveness for some years, and have found them to be radically life-altering. Ruth, you're right.

I am interested in the idea that when we evolve we accept and come to love what is in the world rather than fighting against it - this is expressed well by Byron Katie when she says ' I am a lover of truth'. Many people I have spoken to struggle with the idea of us being eternal beings and our interlinkedness - I have an increasing sense of the truth of this but can't explain it well or justify it - maybe the latter will never be possible? You make the statement as though it is obvious - would be good to know your ideas more fully. I am only interested as this feeling has increased my quality of life more than I ever imagined possible - I am convinced life does not have to be as tough as it is for most of us - I still come back to th fact that over most of my life that I never considered it was even possible to do anything about this - then things got so bad that I had to do something and it was there to be had all along!
