If it’s all about how we feel, as I believe it is for us humans, then what am I doing, in a take-charge manner, to see that I feel my best (as defined by me)? No, I don’t mean anything external. I’d like to keep our attention on the internal. It doesn’t cost anything and […]
Dismantling the Inner Critic
September 22, 2021 Dismantling the Inner Critic (http://vidyafrazier.com/dismantling-inner-critic/) Do you ever get fed up with that irritating voice in your head that is always ready to tell you how inferior or inadequate you are – or how you’re doing something wrong? How, no matter what you’ve done or how you’ve done it, it tells you […]
Discrimination, Detachment, and Devotion – Part 4
(Concluded from Part 3, yesterday.) (3) Devote yourself to the Real. We’ve developed our powers of discrimination and used them now to discern what is untrue and unreal. And we’ve detached ourselves from any attachment to these things. Mentally, emotionally and spiritually we now devote ourselves to – in the case of lightworkers – the […]
Discrimination, Detachment, and Devotion – Part 3
(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.) (2) Detach from the unreal. After identifying one thing after another that’s not true or real, we gradually lose our taste altogether for many things that used to excite us. Foods we’ve always loved, drinks, locations, activities – now we find all of our tastes changing and much of the […]
Discrimination, Detachment, and Devotion – Part 2
(Continued from Part 1, yesterday.) (1) Discriminate between the Real and the unreal. As was revealed to me in a vision on Feb. 13, 1987, the purpose of life is for us to realize who we are. (1) Before I turn to discrimination proper, I’d like to look at life’s purpose. If we only want […]
Discrimination, Detachment, and Devotion – Part 1
I’ve been putting off writing this article for some time but I now feel the time has arrived. There’s such chaos outside that I need to clarify for myself my basic values, to remind myself what course I want to steer. To do that, I’d like to describe a spiritual path that derives from Hinduism. […]
Seeing Life as a Learning Experience
Because I regard all of life as a learning experience – the primary lesson to be learned being who we are -I create hypotheses for me to test out, which then become theorems. Often I resolve to test a thought out because it persistently repeats itself in my consciousness. Approaching life in this manner keeps […]
Our Missions and Their Requirements
I’m reflecting on our missions and what they call forth or require of us. I’m a writer. That calls forth from me a desire for cave time, private space, contemplative, meditative, reflective time. It’s introverted, by definition, inward-turned, inward drawn. It’s not extroverted. It doesn’t lead to running for public office. It doesn’t attend barbeques […]
A Truth by Any Other Name
April 14, 2021 God of our ordinary days and nights, God of extraordinary times, together we pray— guide our discerning and our deciding. ~Mary Wickham, Discernment Prayer There’s a balance between trusting the integrity of information from outer sources, and relying on ourselves as the valid fount of our individual truths. I’m seeking that […]
Bringing on the Bliss (Reposted)
I came across this article from 2013 in the process of compiling a book on vasanas (or core issues). It’s so germane to what we’re going through right now that I wanted to repost it. I was listening to music that my friend Ed sent along, which I’ll append here, and the bliss started to […]
James Gilliland: Personal Power
https://tinyurl.com/yxjwb7m9 We have spoken about our solar system moving into a highly energized area of space. We have also spoken about how the higher dimensional beings, saints, sages and masters use these events to further the awakening and healing of Humanity and the Earth. We are in the apex of those times, the veils between worlds […]
Jonathan Van Valin: Meeting Each Other Equal To Equal
There is a way of “looking past” all the stories a person might be telling themselves, past their “egoic structure,” and past all their pain and suffering and contracted self-concept. To what then? What is there? This is why music and art can be so powerful… They can embody what is there without resorting to […]
The Build-Up of Dissonance Triggers a Vasana
I’d like to look at the build-up of cognitive dissonance as another opportunity for observing a vasana (or core issue), in this case, triggered by increasing dissonance. Usually a vasana is triggered by a comment but in this case it was triggered by a build-up of inner conflict. The build-up occurred a week ago and […]
In the World but Not of It
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…. Well, we’re certainly used to waiting! I’m in a philosophical mood today. I feel guided to look at duality, to show that it isn’t inherently bad or wrong. The very first act in the drama of our lives was one of imaginary separation, individuation. No, […]
Who Would I Be Without My Act?
Happy Solstice tomorrow, everyone. The days are getting longer! … but speeding by faster! Again, the Pause has given me ample time for introspection. In a mood of introspection, I just caught myself saying something so significant that I stood there for some time immobilized. There was something about the way I was being socially […]
