HOW TO OPEN YOUR EYES
STEP 1: AS ABOVE, SO BELO6W Realize that your dark side, your shadow, your fears, disgusts, etc. are not to be avoided, but rather to be studied, delved into, and understood. It won’t be fun. But it needs to be done. A life cushioned off from the dark is a life not fully lived. Live your life fully.

Limitations of consciousness: Exploring Attentional Blink
As you shift your attention from one thing of interest to another, a gap in attention called attentional blink occurs in your awareness of the world. It lasts for about half a second, so we barely notice it. The shocking, interesting, or emotionally stimulating event is the more likely we will lose peripheral awareness of anything else outside that event for longer. This phenomenon occurs because our brain has limited attentional resources. If you have ever tried to focus on multiple things at once, and you know you have if you are an active citizen of our modern society. You likely discovered you could not completely hold full attention to all the multi-tasked tasks. You might even have noticed that some things could not be consciously tracked well as you were multitasking and simply slipped right past you unnoticed. This cognitive factor is not often trained by most and yet plays a part in every action we do in society. Everything from following a magic trick, being convinced, hypnotized, and is actionable as we go through the tasks of our day. Just think about driving on a rainy day and talking on the phone or walking across the street as you text on your phone. Sometimes the attentional blink can cost us our life.

A Thing Or Two About New Year Resolution
It starts with a "why?" It was about a fortnight before the New Year of 2012. I was studying to be a personal trainer at the time. During one of the classes, I had my waist and hip measured for a class assignment. When my classmate, who were assigned to do my measurement, told me that my waistline was about 42 inches, I was in total shock as I thought I was reasonably fit and my waistline could not be more than 36 inches. It was really disappointing to be told that this number would put me in the "obese" category.

Seeing the Unseen ~
It does you know ~ speak to us, that is. Subtly, over time, creating lines of communique as unique as a fingerprint. Fine tuning itself, whittling away the superfluous, the extraneous. In a frenetic world the droning on of each and every thing, ever thought by every one of us. The pace of living that most often outpaces us. We, plodding along from one task to the other with nary a moment to consider what is happening between the spaces. I have found that, between these places, life is abundant with the most delightful whisperings. Weaving their way through, billowing across our awareness - training ears and eyes, hearts too. How are we to see them, these unseen, if not for moments of repose? Glimmers of awareness that, if not for our collective tethering to various devices, might even provide breathing room to actually see what might just have the potential to be revealed.

Life the Puzzle in Time
Life is really not as difficult to understand if we could just see the big picture. Allow me to illustrate my point through the use of my love for jigsaw puzzles. I have always had a fondness for puzzles and mysteries. Growing up my first introduction to words came from my mother, who is an avid crossword puzzle fan. She would say, just find the letters that match in the puzzle to make these words. It was at that moment my fondness for words and problem solving was born. One day in my early twenties, I was in a transitional place in my life, we all have them it’s a normal place to be in during our evolution. It’s a period in your life where one season is ending and your in that “I know I am suppose to be doing something else, but what” moment. During this period I had a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle on my coffee table. I had finished putting the frame together and was starting to fill in the inner pieces. I have come to learn, when I give my conscious mind a task to focus on my subconscious can be heard loud and clear. As I am holding a puzzle piece in my hand, while scanning the already connected pieces to see if this piece is ready to be connected to any of the other pieces, like a thunder bolt crashing against the midnight sky I heard I hear my subconscious voice say “When you see your big picture, you will see the direction your are suppose to go in for this season of your life.” I sat in awe of what I had heard, I looked around to make sure there wasn’t someone else in my apartment. Highlights of my life prior to that moment began playing like I was sitting in my local theater. I was taken back to a time in my life when I was about knee high to a grasshopper. I was watching an 80’s sitcom called “The Jefferson’s.” There was an episode where Louise who volunteered at the “Help Center” was helping a lady who was a prostitute. I believe she was trying to get the lady to change professions, but as I was watching I heard myself say, “that’s what I want to do, help people.” Then the flashback flashed forward and just like adults do, they ask little kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?” My response was child psychologist. The adult seemed impressed, but I had no idea what it was or where I had ever heard the words. I had no idea that years and years later I would begin my journey to becoming a psychologist who would work with at risk youth. Everything I have ever done in my life that has ever given me an intrinsic joy has always been solving problems and helping people find their way. It was at that moment that I realized that I was the puzzle piece in my hand, waiting to be connected to create my big picture. Bells were ringing, whistles blowing, and the sheer excitement of that moment has forever been etched in my mind, leaving me with the understanding that just like the creator of the puzzle in a box I was working on, the creator of life the puzzle in time, created a big picture associated that can be seen through the experiences we experience. Each of us have our own big picture. If you dumped the bag of pieces onto your coffee table, it looked like a confusing mess to he who has yet to be taught the art of putting jigsaw puzzles together. When I compared what I saw to life, it corresponds with the our incarnation. We enter this dimension with a bag of experiences that when put together will give us our big picture. Don’t allow experiences to just lay on your coffee table of life. If you have to have these experiences, why not put it together and see your big picture?
