I want to hear from members about what you believe has helped you understand the you. What tools, concepts, ideas, videos or revelations have you experienced that helped you understand.

I believe it has been for me to turn to my inner being. Meditation & prayer has helped me a lot here in the past several months.

What is it that you meditate on that helps? I know that I spend a lot of time thinking about who I am and what I am here for. Often, I find that the worries or frustrations in life dwindle away as I remember what it is that I love to do. Then I become more open to new ideas to tackle the problems of life. If I can take away the meterial ascepts that worry me, then there is nothing to worry about :)

Acceptance, accepting the things that I cannot change, and changing the thing that I can change. For the biggest part of my life or my so called life, I wanted to change the world, I could see what others needed. When I was put into prison and my world was cut down to just 65 men and I could see in about 30 days what they needed to change, and the only one that was left was me! I could see if everyone need to change then what about me? I'm in the same world they are, is everybody here to change but me? Going to prison was a blessing because it had cut my world down, if not Then I would still be working on somebody else and would never gotten around to myself. One can change others but it starts with the self and then after you have changed, then every time you see something outside of yourself that has to change then you have to change.

One thing that I am learning is to pay attention to the lessons this life is giving you. Love is sooo profound, so when you find it, don't ignore it. I'm talking about life love. People that pay attention to you and like you for who you are. The love that your children give you. I realize, more now then ever, that it could be over in a blink of an eye. If you knew that your life would end in the next moment, would you have any regrets? Did you take advantage of the love that was given? Did you share that love in return? These things make life what it is. Love makes this life livable. Never will you understand that more when you loose it. To loose one piece....... As I think back to the past moments of my life, I find sooo many lessons that I didn't understand at the time. I recognize so many behaviors that were destructive to who I was. I am aware. Thats the greatest aspect of ascension or spirituality. Becoming aware of your lessons and APPLYING that lesson to your life for the betterment of you is the key to all awareness. These behaviors are not your faults, but your lesson in love and humility. Its the greater understanding of the commonality between us all. We are all learning lessons and growing aware of that spirit in us.

The difference between an enlightened person and an enlightened master is that the master takes heed of the lesson and takes action to apply that lesson to life. If you learn all the time, ask yourself if you take the action to apply that lesson. If you do, then your a master. A master is NOT one that knows all, but one who understands the meaning of the moments they live and how they live those moments. Light and Love - Levi
