i would like to create a post today about things we can keep in the focus of our awareness that make life easier to live. I will then discuss using a top truth as it is much easier to keep one tool of thought with you instead of dragging around a list of things to remember all the time.
As we experience reality/life, we sometimes come across an experience that creates discomfort within us. So the idea today is learning how to put in the awareness that which make those experiences easier to experience. After all, isn't it everyone's goal (among the many we have) to feel good all the time? A little adjustment of our thinking can make a huge difference. Oh, and there's nothing to sell you, no classes to attend, nothing you need to physically do.
There are many ways and perspectives to understand causes of dis-ease. This post will side-step that part of it and go straight to the juice.
I will be using myself as an example. Mainly to illustrate what I am talking about exactly as this is an unusual discussion. Then you may use the tools I remind you that you already have and take it from there.
~~~~~~~~~
For me, when I encounter discomfort or frustration or general dis-ease, I am always curious why I feel it and what I can do to get rid of it. (I am using the understanding that thoughts and feelings are something that can be handled and released)
Our awareness includes all things that are processed as data from an experience. (ex: we are aware of the colors of the chair as well as the sounds of the wind, the feeling of the breeze, the taste of the lemonade, and then there is our thoughts.) How do we think of thoughts?
Awareness and what we think are two different things. We can be aware of our thoughts. Which suggests that a thought is something that can be handled or released from our awareness.
So the big question is... What is in our awareness at all times?
Dis-ease, frustration, etc. can show up in our awareness at any time. Which is how we know about them. So how did they get in our awareness? This is a question to ask you yourself.
A major paradigm shift of thinking that is available for all is to know we have control over what we experience. Learning to master what we experience has some pre-requisites of thinking before that can become. One of them being an understanding that having "choice" is a permanently equipped tool of thought. It can never leave us no matter what.
So knowing we always have the tool of 'choice' at our disposal, we can then choose to put specific things in our awareness that we KNOW won't create dis-ease, frustration, etc. or choose to think differently about it.
~~~~~
My top truth as of right now (because it can be swapped at any time for a better one) is that all things experienced is for the transformation of consciousness.
This is a thought that transmutes the experience into an agreeable one.
is there bad news on tv? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
did two people get into a fight? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
did someone say something ugly? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
is there a war going on? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
Short and simple. This is the highest truth I know (so far) and I find it helpful because it has massive amounts of truth to it. How much can someone take of something they disagree with before they start exploring other options and exercising our thought tool called "choice". A transformation will take place. Consciousness would then take what knowledge it has acquired and a change of awareness will happen in favor of what is desired.
I consider this my top truth because I understand that consciousness is at the core of our awareness. And if there is ANY activity going on in the world that someone disagrees with, I know it will eventually lead to a transformation of thought. And there won't be anything bad about learning what we don't want to experience in our awareness. For that also teaches us what we do desire.
All thought is free. We have learned by now that we are free to think anything we want and it doesn't cost a cent. Take my top truth if it works for you, or you can create a better one more suited for how you want to experience reality.
Don't be surprised if something happens to you and you all of a sudden feel lighter. This might just be your own transformation of thought into the realm of mental clarity. On a personal note, if you experience this, take my word for it and throw a big party. a BIG, BIG party.

acceptance and the effect it has on consciousness
What is acceptance?
my perspective is that acceptance is inclusive of all that does and does not exist yet.
to exclude anything is to deny it's (obvious to the observer's) existence. otherwise one would be all inclusive by default.
How this affects the consciousness is likened to a framework of reality that houses all-that-is except for ________, because of _______.
to be fully accepting creates a perspective of consciousness that is unafraid of experiencing the unknown*. fear is the only thing that keeps us from experiencing the unknown. consider the factor of every new day not ever having been before. every day is a brand new day. every new day is a new factor that makes every day a different factor for/of change.
author's note: let's also consider our own lives for a moment. there is nothing wrong with them, they're perfect the way they are as they happen by the control of each individual. now, with the understanding we have of acceptance, ask how much change are we experiencing in our life? are there any parts of our life we could swap out for something a little different? maybe a lot different?
For simplification purposes...
Being Inclusive = not in denial
Being Exclusive = in denial
I would like to bring up the concept of what is "unknown".
What is unknown* to us is what we are unaware of. Awareness is all that we are aware of. If we are constrained by belief structures that exclude information, then there is something within us that is in denial about something. Obviously related to the information that is being excluded. What that denial is about is personal for each one of us. We are all unique but equal observers of this reality. It is always our responsibility to assign our own meaning of what we experience and reflect on it. And what we experience is always our choice.
The intention of this post is to illustrate the importance of acceptance and how it relates to our consciousness. And to see acceptance from a point of view similar to how a cog in a machine is doing its part to produce whatever that machine produces.
I hope this was/is a beneficial perspective!
Thanks for reading!
