Awareness can be used as either a tool or a weapon. Awareness is a weapon when we bring our past and our fears into the present. These two become like blinders, focusing our awareness on a very limited version of the present. From this place we are likely to manipulate, control, strike out, or withold and withdraw. We have to as we do not/can not see the whole picture. We are human beings and not likely to ever live entriely free from the influence of our past nor the pressure of our fears. The antidote for limited awareness is gratitude. We Live Truth when we continually invite a bigger, deeper and more expansive awareness into our present moment. We are able to see the bigger picture --closer to Creator's view. With this invitation comes snipets of gratitude. Little snipets at first, but then this gratitude grows and eventually the blinders of fear and past are disolved away. This is awareness as a tool. It allows us to see more, know more and 'trust the bigger picture'.
Self Reflection: What is the quality of my awareness about my life? Am I aware of my blinders? Do I have a practice of writing gratitudes and appreciations? If not what would I need to shift in order to beign to know them and write them down?
