‘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, […]
That’s Who We Are and That’s What We’re Aiming to Uncover
If I’m correct, we all get from the rising vibrations what we generally seek from life. (1) I seek Self-Knowledge, as much as the constraints of my service allow. My knowledge of my Self and my self increase daily. No lightworker could have their fullest wishes granted – such as mine for unlimited Self-Knowledge – […]
The Destination is Worth the Rigor
When I think of Ascension as a journey up a mountain, I weep. Because for me, that’s how it’s seemed. I could have said pulling myself out of a swamp. Or crossing a desert. These are just images, but I feel so tired looking at the journey from this vantage point. It’s been a long […]
The Strongest of the Strong
Time for a change, a walk in the park, so to speak. There are many classic paths to enlightenment. I’d like to divide them into two general types: (A) Those that involve going inward and (B) those that involve going outward. Those that involve going inward include meditation proper, the awareness path (my chosen path), […]
Going Deeper: The Longing for Liberation Observed
I lasted an hour, focused on the integration of the phases of my life. (1) But I also went in and out of it over the course of the day. I’ve written a number of articles on the longing for liberation. (2) It’s a built-in, subtidal thirst which only reunion with God will extinguish or […]
Understanding the Longing for Liberation – Part 3/3
(Concluded from Part 2.) The Longing for Liberation as the Desire to Love and Be Loved In more recent years, the Company of Heaven (CoH) appears to have shifted the emphasis away from speaking about a longing for God or even a longing for liberation, to speaking about a longing for love. Since God is […]
Understanding the Longing for Liberation – Part 1/3
Folks, given that we’ll be managing resources in the near future, our desires may get greatly stimulated. When we feel a sudden rise of yearning, we may be fooled by it and attempt to fill it with yachts, mansions, wine, wo/men and song. But this may be a resurgence of the eternal longing for liberation, […]
Understanding the Longing for Liberation – Part 2/3
(Continued from Part 1.) Shankara offers us a definition that sees the longing not as a desire to return home or as an inextinguisable flame lighting the way but as the unquenchable desire to break free from the chains of ignorance. He says: “[The] Longing for Liberation – is the will to be free from […]
St. Germaine on the Longing for Liberation
I’d like to extend what St. Germaine said this past week on what sages call “the longing for liberation.” He reminds us of what all this incarnating and dying is all about – the purpose of life for us. “Your deepest, greatest, fullest purpose, inherent, individual and collective, is your journey back to the Mother/Father […]
Sanat Kumara on the Purpose of Life, the Universal Law, and the Longing for Liberation
Granted that I’m biased, this show will probably remain for me my favorite of all the programs in An Hour with an Angel. First of all because Sanat Kumara links together and explains four of the most basic concepts in life in one talk: the purpose of life, the Divine Plan, the universal law, and […]
The Longing for Liberation
It’s just a question of time before we begin to feel a stronger yearning for the Divine. That yearning, which ancient sages called “the longing for liberation,” is, in my estimation, a design feature of life. It’s one of those built-in elements which everyone of us has within us, probably deeper than DNA. In the […]
