We are living in times of great confusion. Bombarded with conflicting information, all presented as truth, when often it is merely an opinion or a speculation based on confused facts. It is like a scene from a comedy movie I saw some years ago in which Robin Hood sees his companion Blinking, who was blind, taking his turn as the guard at the watch tower:<\/p>\n
\u201cBlinking, what are you doing up there?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGuessing?\u201d came the reply \u201cI guess no one\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMuddy thoughts and feelings produce chaos, both inwardly and outwardly.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Swami\u00a0Kriyananda\u00a0said. Doesn\u2019t that sound like an accurate description of the world today?<\/p>\n Often, we dive right in with our rational mind, trying to \u201cfigure out\u201d what the truth is, trying to find the right solution to the problem based on a sea of conflicting facts.<\/p>\n To find the truth, to find clarity we cannot rely on \u201cfiguring it out\u201d. We have to \u201cfigure it in\u201d. It is our level of consciousness that has to change if we want to develop clarity and live with clarity. Relying on the rational mind is tricky business at best. Apart from being limited to our past experience and the facts we already know, it is forever uncertain, insecure and almost hopelessly vacillating. \u201cMaybe I should leave that job for this one. It certainly doesn\u2019t satisfy me. Well, on the other hand, it is very convenient and close, and it doesn\u2019t pay badly either.\u201d and so it goes on.<\/p>\n Clarity comes from conscious attunement\u00a0with Superconsciousness. Contact with it gives us the ability to see things clearly, in relation to each other and to\u00a0God, looking\u00a0at life as if from above. \u201cCrystal clarity means to see oneself, and all things, as aspects of a greater reality; to seek to enter into conscious attunement with that reality; and to see all things as channels for the expression of that reality.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Knowing\u00a0who<\/em>\u00a0we are,\u00a0what<\/em>\u00a0we are here for, and\u00a0how\u00a0to respond to the new challenges that life presents to us as we go toward a time of great change and expansion is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n What we need are new solutions to\u00a0new problems; ways of applying attunement to Superconsciousness to our day-to-day realities in a practical way. Solutions\u00a0to the challenges of today.<\/p>\n Here are some suggestions that can help you do that:<\/p>\n Deepening our attunement\u00a0with Superconsciousness will certainly change our life and bring more clarity to our minds but it can also change our world. As Swami\u00a0Kriyananda\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cClarity should be our deliberate attempt to offer the world what we can. The clearer we are, above all in feeling, the more everything you do will change other people.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Joy to you, We are living in times of great confusion.
