I see all good people. It's all of us. Everyone. Everyone born comes into this world with a clean slate. What we are fortunate to have already programmed in our DNA, along with what our environment brings, are important in determining whom we are going to be. I've been thinking this morning about what are one's choices? What are the choices we make every day in every moment of time? How are these choices determined by a lot of factors? Many which will not currently be on one's mind. It is the background, it is the development of our personalities, which we, as so many other things, we take for granted. Our parents, their attitudes, their personalities, the characteristics that they have brought with them from their birth, and all the circumstances and environments from when one is born. To this moment, yes, right now. How many are unaware of their being a bundle of miracles, for instance? Too many to care to name, maybe most of mankind. Is this right? In my humble opinion, no. In whatever spiritual tradition, form of education, parental values, and guidance all make up a rather large pot of stew, energetic stew. It is whom we have become. This does not mean that it is right or wrong or better or worse. It means it is a wake-up, a recognition of a revelation toward one's own self-realization, wherein one can view oneself informed by a sense of equanimity, grace, openness and receptivity, sensitivity, and seek out to allow ideas to come to one's mind to better describe the situation we find ourselves in upon this world, not just in our homes or outside, in every way one can. Being more aware, being more alert, being cognizant enough when one needs to, one rests, takes a break. Because we are asking each other to be no less than what we are, which is capable of doing so many things. We have already discerned, right? We have already begun reaching for the stars, reaching for a better understanding of the actual basis of life itself. Drilling down deeply within the context of our cells, of molecules, of compounds, of elements, of matter, of the energetic relationships we have so far found. With this knowledge as one's background, then one has no limit. Remembering we set our own directions in life as grand or as plain as we allow. It is up to each of us to take the next step forward to advance, to rest in a sense of neutrality or to fall back. It is us, you and me, that have this potential who through our own activities create the possibilities for our future. Finding one's foundation is a most important part of this endeavor. It is crucial to know thyself. It is crucial to thine own self be true. It is crucial to know whom you are, and you are a bundle of miracles. It is not just in the speaker's words, this truth rings. It is in one's thinking of all of what we know of history, of evolution, as a part of, this awareness dawns like the new day, allowing it to grow in brilliance for one's own self-revelations in awe, shining literally inside oneself, figuratively too, heat emanating, glowing, shining with being aware, alert, awake, relax, at ease, conscious of one's senses, of the sensitivity of being alive, one's hearing, sight, feeling, one's touch inside, on one's surface of one's skin, and beyond. Being here now. Not only remembering how precious oneself is, coming to one's innate, primal, foundational senses. Before society has in essence inoculated us with all of its different filtering processes of our laws, our regulations, all of our histories, our traditions. These are filters that accumulate over one's lifetime. Thinking about this, assuming one's own responsibility of oneself. Look at all of these different factors and just look at them. Neither right nor wrong, but just to be open-minded for consideration, for better understanding, with one's greatest perspective of time and space? What do these things mean today in our twenty-first century of awareness, of knowledge? What do they mean to you? How do you want to play this game of life? What role do you wish to perform? One need to find one's foundation to rise up to the greatness of what one wishes to become. You are not amorphous. You have structure and form. Utilizing one's tools to enhance further one's accumulation of goals, aspirations for one's life, one's purpose, one's sense of responsibility you need to define. And it is through remembering and taking responsibility that we perform. How well in today's matinee are you doing your thing? And what of the morning and of evening time? How is your day coming together? Is the question on my mind for us to be considering with a sense of equanimity and unbiased wisdom, witnessing, observing, just to learn, understand, enhance our beings as we continue pressing a forward momentum in our beings. Remembering each of us is a Helm's person. How, where, when, what, why, who those six questions of Thomas Wilson determine whom we are being here now. Continue flowing, growing, glowing in one's realization, your majesties, of the greatness of this gift of life. This is the foundation upon which all other things are derived, humbled. In the intensity, in the awe of this self-revelation, thankful. What need be more said. The music continues for a minute. Enjoy, ponder, and make the most of this opportunity of life. I'm sure we all can improve. Don't forget to rest. Don't forget to be virtuous and to be kind to oneself. To realize perfection is possibly never found. Improvement more easily can come through repetition, through practice. It's why we so wholeheartedly recommend it. One wants to make positive changes. This is the way. You're developing new habits, new ways and opportunities to play one's part in life. This is mindful meditation. This is in the beginning of determining whom one is today. Mindful.
