Everything exists in your mind. It sounds crazy, but when you think about it, you realize that, literally, the totality of your experience takes place in your awareness. If something doesn’t exist in your awareness, it doesn’t exist for you. Life is a flow of awareness, arising and then falling away. What you are looking for, is what is looking. The infinite universe all comes out of your mind. All of creation is experienced in your awareness, and nowhere else. So enjoy and appreciate your stream of consciousness, because it is that magic stage where we live our lives.

L.I.F.E. - Let It Flow Effortlessly - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
The gift of life is a wonderful thing. Often we get so caught up in the rush of things, that we get full of tension. When we aren’t paying attention, we identify with the thoughts and emotions and take everything personally. We all have problems, but it’s our attitude that determines the quality of our lives. Stress never helped anyone. Just relax into knowing that you are doing the best you can. Be content in knowing that at this moment, this is the way it is, no more and no less. Just go with the flow. Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. When you flow effortlessly, life is like a dream.

R.O.S.E. - Reawaken Openness - Surrender Ego - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
Ego is an illusion. Nothing can harm your mind, but ego puts you in a bind. Ego is fear & judgement - guaranteed to upset you. If you have an ego, you have to protect it, defend it, expand it. Ego is just a concept, probably our most deeply held concept. But start practicing letting ego go. Stop constantly demanding the world to live up to your expectations. For this moment the world is perfectly as it is. Your mind is silent, perfect peace's paradise. So stop muddying the waters with ego's demands. When you let ego go, your life will bloom in wonderway!

We’re all on our journey on the road of life. Life is an ongoing dialectic, we create it, and it creates us. It’s okay to reach out and go for it, because nothing can harm your mind, because your mind is nothing (no-thing). With some vision and some heart, some knowledge and experience, we can reawaken a wonderful life. When you get really clear, you can realize that your dreams are already here. You truly can awaken your dreams. Just open the door. There’s so much in store, when you realize that you’re already on the distant shore. Your dreams are right here waiting for you to awaken to them.

A.B.C. - Acceptance Brings Contentment - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
Each instant is perfectly ”as it is”, no more and no less. If we can accept it, we can find peace. If we want it to be different than it is, we create our own unhappiness. Do you really think that any instant can ever be different than it is? This moment is exactly “as it is”. Accept it, and find contentment and peace of mind. So much suffering in our world is simply caused by wanting things to be different than they are. It’s totally fine to try to create change, but for now this is how it is. Highest knowledge is to simply acknowledge that each moment is just what it is. It’s as simple as ABC.
