The world is in chaos. Chaos seems to have become the new ‘normal’. Disease, political turmoil, wars, riots, protests, suffering, conflict, poverty, starvation, division, climate change, pollution, propaganda, manipulation and a seemingly endless, invisible toxic fog of ignorance, fear, anger, weakness, hatred, mental illnesses, hopelessness, greed and cynicism touching and infiltrating the minds of millions.

Millions upon millions of people seem to be trapped in alternative delusional realities where objective reality and clarity are forgotten or rejected. These alternative realities are surrounded by impermeable bubbles that allow only information that reinforces the delusions to filter through. Those living in these bubbles truly believe that theirs is the one true reality and that all others are delusional. So humanity appears to be irreparably divided with little basis for cooperation, understanding, compassion or agreement except for temporary strategic alliances. Where these bubbles touch or intersect conflict arises.

Without clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength, humanity is weakened and vulnerable. Humanity spirals down into the darkness that pulls more and more people into its depths. Eventually societies, supportive institutions and human progress collapse. Everyone suffers.

These alternative reality bubbles are all created by and fueled by human emotions and beliefs. What emotionally feels real is real. Emotions become reality. What I believe is true, is true. Belief becomes reality. We hear so often, My reality is different than your reality. Emotions and beliefs become the fabric of reality. Inseparable. So the bubbles increase in size and the delusions become more ‘real’.

So in alternative reality bubbles, objective, clear and unblemished reality does not exist or is impossible to discern.

It often seems that clarity, compassion, peace, fulfillment and inner strength are illusory or have been completely forgotten. But clarity, compassion and inner strength are essential for being able to function and thrive amidst this chaos. Experiencing clarity, fulfillment, peace, compassion and inner strength are essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life. These attributes are integral for making good decisions and dealing with challenges as they arise. They are essential for experiencing the smooth flow of life and creativity.

For most people clarity, compassion, peace, fulfillment and inner strength seem to be elusive or the experiences of clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength are intermittent and fleeting. For some, clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength have become only a concept that is out of reach or ignored. Yet most people still seek clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength whether they are aware of it or not.

Most people seek clarity, fulfillment, peace and strength in the acquisition of possessions, achievements, money, power, relationships, knowledge, travel, drugs, entertainment, various distractions, nature, physical activities and other pursuits. Unfortunately, as long as we are dependent on anything transient for clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength then these qualities will be transient or elusive.

So how do we find the clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength that are unwavering?

Do your best to be still for a few moments. Take a few deep breaths and relax. Then consider this;

At a deep and profound level, everything that exists is made of the same stuff, whether you call it the quantum field or consciousness or energy or light or life or creation or God. The air you are breathing right this moment, the light that touches you, your memories, thoughts and emotions, your body and everything around you are all made of the same stuff. If you relax deeply enough, if you are still enough, if you pay close enough attention you will be able to feel that which fills and is Being all things. You will be able to feel the infinite, timeless and endless process of creation. And if you were to describe that feeling of infinite, immortal creation you would use words like Bliss, Compassion, Fulfillment, Love, Excitement, Clarity, Peace and yes, Inner Strength. This is transcendent Reality, Objective Reality. Reality without embellishments, smudges, shadows or interpretations. This is pure, pristine and untouched Reality.

This is where transcendent clarity, compassion, peace, fulfillment and inner strength are found. They are found where they have always been and will always be. They are found in the very essence and structure of creation. They are found in the air you breath and every cell of your body. They are found in every thought and deed. They are found in every blade of grass, snowflake, wave, particle of light and every grain of sand. They are found in every atom and sub-atomic particle. They found at the busiest and loudest city street corner, the most idyllic seacoast and in the quietest forest. There is absolutely no place that clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength are not.

Clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength are infinite, they are untouched by anything that happens in life or the world. They are woven into the fabric of all being. They are inescapable and they are always accessible. They are transcendent.

To experience this transcendent clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength you must be willing to set aside everything and to be absolutely still. You must set aside all your memories, history, desires, judgements, struggles and the ‘me’ who seeks the Truth and clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength.

If you do this you will feel the transcendent sense of Self that is closer to you than your breathing. And when you feel It, surrender to It. Dissolve into It. Let go into it as if nothing else matters. If you do this, transcendent clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength will embrace you. It will cleanse you and you will remember who and what you truly are and have always been. You will remember that you truly are transcendent clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength.

This is how you experience unchanging and infinite clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength. This is how you experience all these attributes of the Self in the midst of chaos.

I have created a number of meditations for experiencing this. Some are posted here and some are available at the Light Unlimited Publishing website. If you need support in experiencing the clarity, compassion, fulfillment, peace and inner strength that you are just let me know.
