How to live an enlightened life?

Today, the road (to enlightenment) was again like no other, yet not one has been like another since I started my journey. I am happy to call it a journey....because I simply don't know the destination....the place where I will get to....from what I understand today, a destination doesn't exist. That fact takes so much pressure off me and I am grateful. I won't share the details of my day except that it started with listening to myself and my thoughts. I celebrate this now because they have transformed. I have returned to the knowing state of age 9 when I understood that I create all of my experiences. I get cause and effect and it lives within. I think and/or focus on anything (that which brings me joy or sorrow) and it comes quickly.

I often remind myself of the time I was riding my bike at age 9 and looking at the rock several yards away, as if it was yesterday, I can hear the voice saying, "Don't hit the rock, don't hit the rock." There I sat on the curb with skinned knees, which did their best to break my fall....looking at the fallen bike and the rock which stood its position. I got it...I got exactly what I focused on....not what I wanted. I was about 13 when the realness of what IS began to escape me. I was back in the collective consciousness. Wow, what a trip. It was pain, then joy, a little bit more pain and then some more joy. Fast forward to age 30 and I'm having flashbacks of days when I was intentionally creating my own experiences. And, I realized I had been asleep for 17 years! That time felt like the recollection of a dream. And yet it was real... Finally, I began to predict the outcome of every relationship and that's the outcome I got! Wow, did I have magical powers? YES I DID!

Good night lovely Universe! Thank you for the sunset. It was a gift!
