What - in your opinion - does it mean to truly be alive?

For me one key aspect is self-awareness. to understand who I am until I am the universe exploring itself. To reflect on my thinking, how my survival instinct drives my behaviors, and how my wisdom and will allows me to transcend. To know the foundation of my morality is in being one universe, that when I act according to that truth, I am doing good.

To feel and experience life. Allow and embrace everything, also the 'negative' for without it there is no positive. To explore the depths of feeling and relationships. To delve deep into my inner experience and let it inform my outer world with love and appreciation of its beauty.

To be authentic and free. Fear is our greatest obstacle to express our true selves. The survival instinct is deeply woven into our need to be psychologically secure, to be approved and belong. That is scary! To be authentic is to be brave, and that is where the juice of life is found!

Just like a flower, we all have an innate desire to bloom. For us that happens through growth and contribution. Which are also know as meaning and purpose. Because we are one being, our meaning and happiness is found in service to each other. Giving your unique gifts!

Exploration and connection with nature. From gazing into the infinite night sky, to a hike through the beautiful green pastures, is a celebration of the vitality of nature. Which connects you to yourself, the universe and all living things.

Life is pretty good!
