“Wake up o man, at least now, wake up. Consider this whole creation as a mere dream. This world is like a flower in bloom; as you watch it, it wilts right before your eyes. Why are you so attached to it?” ~ Brahmananda

Seeing reality
Choose to see the truth,
Choose to see the reality
Underneath all you chose before;
What existed and always exists
The truth is always there,
Let go of the fear;
It’s not real
~ M. L Adams
Freedom is a choice
One of the greatest gifts I have found on my journey so far is that of freedom, true inner freedom. I say gift because it is one we all have innately yet so many of us fail to acknowledge it, it can sometimes take a journey of realisation to do so.
This is what happened to me after too many years of living in a place where I’d felt trapped both inwardly and outwardly, now I know this truth and I see it very clearly so much so I had forgotten how so many don’t.
After having this recent insight I felt passionately about sharing it with you to always remember your freedom of choice. To remember you are innately free by the freedom to choose, no matter what. I really do believe it can be this simple, as simple as a choice. None of us are prisoners and even if you are in the external sense, you still have the freedom of choice in what you believe, and in what you perceive things to mean for you and your life.
Choice is our greatest gift and the biggest illusion is in believing that we do not have a choice.
I find it shocking now when I see what some people will accept and in effect to choose to suffer because they are in this illusion that they do not have a choice, when they really do. If you are suffering in a job, relationship or any circumstance you always have a choice. Always head towards your joy.
As Joseph Campbell stated;
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls.
There is so much truth in his words and doors really do open up before you when you make a choice to follow your bliss.
When we only look externally or at the conditions we may be in, it can appear that we are trapped in some way, but there is always a choice even if only in how we choose to perceive it and this alone can change everything.
The greatest choice I believe is that of either love or fear, one on which everything can be based. In reality we are all free, we only need to choose it for it to be realised.
Your choices are the real gifts you contain;
To create a life of real beauty or pain.

Freely flowing
To love is to come home
To be here; to always evolve
To love, to let go
Always knowing, we are all one soul
Seeing in all of your being,
The purity and oneness, within all you are feeling
In seeing, knowing, in all you are living
You serve at your highest, in all you are being
In truth; oneness,
Whole as you’re seeing,
Here, now as you’re living
This is it; you are freely flowing ❤
~ M.L Adams
All you have learnt
In all, it’s about what have you learnt;
What is it that you hold in your heart,
Do you see in others what they see in you,
Do you see the truth no matter what others do,
Continue to learn, grow and develop;
Holding the gratitude you know is true
Then the love in your heart;
The truth that you see,
In all that you ever have; That is all you will ever need ❤
~ M. L Adams
Soul strengthening
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” ~ Helen Keller
Seeing in advance
If everything is created
Then anything can be recreated,
And as so created,
It is then
That anything is possible,
As it is within, so it is without
Start with the truth,
Only in love
~ M. L Adams
Letting go of expectations
Along our life journey things can at times happen the way we don’t want them or expect them to.
Whether it be with relationships, work goals or any other area of life, not everything happens how we would like it to and sometimes it can be really tough.
So what do we do when this happens..?
Fight on? Resist?
Or allow our journey to take us where it may be guiding us, to any lessons we may need to learn or benefit from?
Our life journeys as I see are like flowing water, rising and falling, coming and going, and ultimately flowing. If we resist however, the flow then stops.
We may not always understand why something happens or we can even see it as wrong in some way, yet in resisting it we stay there longer. Stuck in not learning, until we finally let go.
Finally in letting go of any expectation in how it should be we are allowing ourselves to flow on our journey again.
When we fight what is however it can only take longer to move to where we want to be, it also stops us from living in the now. Everything on our journey has a purpose and meaning and can be directed towards achieving our ultimate goal. We only need to find the lesson and there is always one. Letting go of expectations allows us to do this.
In letting go of expectations and allowing ourselves to flow on our journey instead of holding on to how we think it should be, we then open ourselves up to far more possibility.
We can then set our path in line with our higher energy and allow ourselves to receive more of what is available to us, far more than may ever be perceived through our own preset expectations.
Here for a reason
Everything can happen for a reason;
Stay open to possibility,
Simply be right here in your flow
You will always find a reason;
All can help you reach your goal
Simply stay in line with purpose
Then you can never really fail
Your path is set for higher purpose
Simply trust in the way to go
Everything is here for a reason,
Trust you will always be guided well ❤

Where are your thoughts coming from?
Don’t become attached to the clouds, when you are in fact the whole sky, the clouds will pass.
How much of our thoughts are coming from fear and defensiveness and how much are coming from love?
Have you ever considered this question? Personally I have never really been so consciously aware of it as recently whilst studying a course in miracles.
It’s as though our minds are somehow trained in this way of thinking in fear/survival and separateness when in reality it’s the opposite. Even for those of us who know and believe in this, the tendencies to respond in fear or defensiveness can still be there.
The only way I can see in overcoming this on a larger scale is through more of us realising the truth underneath the illusion of separateness. When we know that everything starts from within, in that nothing we see outside has not already been perceived from within, then we have true freedom.
We always have a choice to come from our own truth, from love instead of fear. Change always starts with(in) us.

The achievement of goals
“No goal can have much effect unless taken seriously. Each goal prescribes a set of consequences, and if one isn’t prepared to reckon with them, the goal becomes meaningless.”
