Step 1 - Know:
Choice A – Pure Infinite Awareness Love Bliss is Happiness Dancing.
Choice B – To be stuck in the suffering loop of thinking mind.
Step 2 - Know: Anything below the 1st POG is illusion - anything of duality is not reality.
Step 3 - Know: The separate self perpetuates the thinking mind loop and therefore clouds reality and healed perception.
Step 4 - Increase your desire for liberation as much as your need for breathing. Nurture awakening to truth and fall in love with Pure Infinite Awareness Love Bliss as your true essence.
Step 5 - Be inspired: Let Pure Infinite Awareness Love Bliss be your only purpose.
Step 6 - In all things focus on truth and reality. Be Perfect, Beautiful, Brilliant Stillness.
Quotes: 1281-1284
Love the practice of falling in love with awakening over and over until you love it all without abandon, without hesitation. Remember anything below the 1st POG is not real and even the thinking mind thinking is a slippery fish. Words, thoughts, and concepts are duality. Empty silence in stillness is closer to non-dual understanding and Pure Infinite Awareness Love Bliss. Be Happiness Dancing.

- I cannot un-ring heart’s call - it is my very essence – deeper and stronger than DNA, ancestors, imagination, or story. The ultimate heart call of truth is boundless, eternal liberation. Once inhaling the perfume of truth there is no retreating back into world illusion for long. The pull of guidance is too strong – it is an unstoppable force.
To ignore truth is by far too painful. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth along with a constant desire to fill the bottomless pit of fear. But there is nothing to fear because the savage beast is only the mind of illusion distracted by unreality, confusion, and the myriad of things knotted with conditioning.
- No point searching for truth where it is not. Surely, this sounds like insanity.
- I am a “fond foolish person” - I have a mantra “love and be happy”. I dance with non-duality and duality alike. But I am devoted to truth. And yes, I am aware that duality perpetuates unreality, but I am doing my best. And for now, my best still has the stamp of loving kindness.
- Responsibility: choice and living a purposeful life.

Love and Be Happy
Once again, it is a matter of Choice A or B.
Do I choose the endless loop of suffering and sorrow with its temporary pleasures and endless pains or do I choose to turn inward to the truth.
Be the inward soldier of love and light.
Know Thy True-Self and be grounded in Awareness beyond all duality.

- I don’t know about this and that. I am quite happy just now – to be. It’s a sweet moment of surrender, a turning inward, to see with loves eyes all that I can see.
- devotion – music to the soul.
- ‘What would Jesus say?’ … (what does the inner teacher say) - Love says to follow love.
Step one: Choosing choice A - the resting away from the mental chatter.
Step two: Choosing “True fasting” – thinking perpetuates duality and illusion.
Step three: Choosing to stop getting caught up and entangled in the endless push and pull of thinking mind.
Step four: Choose to increase desire for liberation by living devoted to clarity and wisdom.
Step five: Choose to be inspired and motivated as a precious offering.
Step six: Choose to turn inward and rest with clarity and wisdom.

I can stop focusing my attention on the push pull of illusion. I can choose to turn inward and see that any fears I perceive are only imaginary, made up, fears in my mind. Anything less than truth is not real. That is a liberation, a gift to the self.
