Two spaces that are supremely important to me are stillness and love. I find myself walking very slowly, whether in walking meditation (kinhin) in my apartment or at the water’s edge. When I meditate, I sink into stillness like a stone. And I love being in that space. I seek it out as often as […]
Adult Tasked with Regulating How I Feel
I haven’t been in an encounter group in decades. But the work I’m doing with myself to transition from sad to glad requires me to “work out” with myself now, rather than wait for occasions to work out with others. Journalling is a part of working out. This is both an Ascension journal (psychological) and […]
In Charge of the Answer
I’m now in charge of the answer: generate love and bliss myself, using the breath. Do it over and over and over again until it becomes second nature – a new behavior paradigm based on a universal principle. Love is the answer to all life’s miseries, the love brought up from our very own hearts […]
Archangel Michael: Knowing the Heart is the Essential Work
What is the heart anyways? I’m talking about breathing love up from the heart. What does the Company of Heaven say about where love can be found? Archangel Michael tackled my questions on the subject on Dec. 5, 2018, in a personal reading through Linda: Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through […]
A Bit Slow on the Bliss
A long time ago, Archangel Michael suggested that I was spending less time in bliss than I should be. He encouraged me to give more time to it: “I keep saying to you and asking you, come back to the bliss. … “When you are in the bliss what happens is that – and it […]
Love, Balance, and Core Issues
If something really is a core issue, it goes very deep. It becomes the filter through which we see things. If we were traumatized as a child, we may be highly or deeply reactive, guarded, even confrontive. If sexually mistreated, we’ll have another set of filters. Same for war trauma, frightening near-death experiences, etc. When […]
River of Love
I said in an earlier article that a planetary heart opening was the most likely sudden event to present itself to us. In my conversation with the Mother on the subject, I asked her if I should be writing about it and she said I should. (1) It makes sense to me that the greater […]
Truly No Contest
I’m assuming that you know that, as I delve deeper and deeper into a vasana, I’m operating at successively-more-refined levels. Going deeper and deeper reflects the impact of the clearing work itself. But it’s also due to the rising energies, the intervention of our guides, and other factors most of which are probably unknown to […]
Are We Wealthy, Spiritually? Well, Do We Love?
When I feel dejected and someone inspires me, I can go in one of two directions. I can let go of the inspiration and continue to feel dejected. Or I can let go of the feeling and continue to be inspired. Being inspired, as far as I can see, awakens the will. We become “determined” […]
I Apologize to All the People I Never Loved
I’m getting what it might have been like for all my girlfriends before 2015. Until then, I never experienced love. OK, I did for a few brief moments a year in a rare spiritual experience, but apart from those dazzling moments, which I didn’t understand, I did not experience love. The reasons were all anchored […]
Drawn Inward
What’s the difference between illusion, delusion, and imagination? I’m having so much fun living into a role that I’m creating in my mind (financial steward). I’m definitely imagining it. Is it an illusion? I guess so. Is it a delusion? I hope not. Given that I so often feel drawn inward these days, (1) maybe […]
Can I Love and Lead a Normal Life?
When I look at the process of taking responsibility for my internal states, immediately up come the barriers to doing so. That makes sense, does it not? When I say “yes,” the cautious part of me, reinforced by many memories of being hurt, protests. At least, let’s take it slow, it says. At least let’s […]
Climbing the Mountain of Ascension
If I were to take a ride downtown on a bus for the first time, that would not equip me to write a treatise on the workings of the bus system. By the same token, one or two experiences of the heart do not qualify me to write a treatise on the heart and its […]
Balance, Love, and the Riddle of Existence
Being balanced? Does it mean being devoid of love? Being balanced means no longer swinging out to the mental and emotional extremes. It means clearing a space within oneself. To say “quiet the mind” is to point at the same thing. Does that space remain vacant? If not what fills it up? Love and the […]
There Always Seems More to Know About Love
There always seems more to know about love. Or one of its forms – bliss, joy, compassion, peace. No matter how deeply I probe into it, I sense I’m only making a beginning. I haven’t even loosened my muscles. And then I discover something beyond my imagination. As when my heart opened on March 13, […]
