and I worked with the material for several years some of which I’ll share

several years some of which I’ll share

several years some of which I’ll share with you today and it kept floating to

with you today and it kept floating to

with you today and it kept floating to the top the art of listening to life

the top the art of listening to life

the top the art of listening to life let’s drill into it why the art well we

let’s drill into it why the art well we

let’s drill into it why the art well we are the creative artists of our life our

are the creative artists of our life our

are the creative artists of our life our life doesn’t come in a package life is a

life doesn’t come in a package life is a

life doesn’t come in a package life is a gift but the details of that life are up

gift but the details of that life are up

gift but the details of that life are up to us we are the creators of our body

to us we are the creators of our body

to us we are the creators of our body the creators of our circumstances and we

the creators of our circumstances and we

the creators of our circumstances and we are our responsibility is to become

are our responsibility is to become

are our responsibility is to become conscious participants in the creation

conscious participants in the creation

conscious participants in the creation of that we are shepherds of our thoughts

of that we are shepherds of our thoughts

of that we are shepherds of our thoughts so it stands to reason that the input

so it stands to reason that the input

so it stands to reason that the input that we have will have an effect on the

that we have will have an effect on the

that we have will have an effect on the outcome so becoming conscious

outcome so becoming conscious

outcome so becoming conscious participants is what it’s about now the

participants is what it’s about now the

participants is what it’s about now the idea what you think you become with the

idea what you think you become with the

idea what you think you become with the Buddha this has been around with us for

Buddha this has been around with us for

Buddha this has been around with us for thousands of years we can go back into

thousands of years we can go back into

thousands of years we can go back into history and we see this idea recurring

history and we see this idea recurring

history and we see this idea recurring it’s even in the Bible in proverbs 4:23

seedlings of reality so these concepts point to the idea that the thought has

point to the idea that the thought has

point to the idea that the thought has an impact on creating our reality and so

an impact on creating our reality and so

an impact on creating our reality and so question of become conscious

question of become conscious

question of become conscious participants in this process now whether

participants in this process now whether

participants in this process now whether you see yourself as a creator or a

you see yourself as a creator or a

you see yourself as a creator or a co-creator it’s about becoming a

co-creator it’s about becoming a

co-creator it’s about becoming a conscious Cepeda

so the art of listening listening we

so the art of listening listening we hear that being a good listener is a

hear that being a good listener is a

hear that being a good listener is a good thing no pun intended but we don’t

good thing no pun intended but we don’t

good thing no pun intended but we don’t just listen with our ears we you know we

perspective so how does life send us

perspective so how does life send us messages there’s a constant stream

messages there’s a constant stream

messages there’s a constant stream coming in through all the occurrences

coming in through all the occurrences

coming in through all the occurrences that happen our life it comes one thing

that happen our life it comes one thing

that happen our life it comes one thing that we get off the table right off the
