Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I’d like to take a very simple example of dawning awareness and use it to illustrate the levels of knowledge (intellectual – experiential – realizational). I had the awareness dawn earlier today that I can’t change a person’s behavior; the most I can do is model the alternative. No big deal unto itself, but it’s […]
Psst! Over here. Yah, you. Come over here. Listen. I’ve just been waiting for someone like you to come along. I wanna tell you a secret. Here it is. Ready? The Self lies in the seat of the soul. Yah, yah, yah, that’s what I said. The Self lies in the bottom of the heart, […]
All we are at one level of reality, as I’ve experienced, is a point of awareness in a sea of love. (1) Michael referred to that state when he described us re-emerging from the heart of One: “When you go home, … you can reunite in the heart of One. … [After a rest] you […]
The Mother said something at the beginning of the year that only becomes more relevant with the passage of time: “This sense that one is right, and one is wrong, that one is correct, and one is incorrect… I am bringing you, I am bringing this planet into the place of unity consciousness, into the […]
(Concluded from part 1, yesterday.) So I was operating outside the intellectual level – in the experiential. Sri Aurobindo addresses the situation: “Man, because he is a mental being, is prone to give the highest importance to the thinking mind and its reason and will and to its way of approach…. The heart with its […]
In my view, we live at three levels: intellectual, experiential, and realizational. As long as we remain, socially, at the intellectual level, we concern ourselves with right/wrong, good/bad, pleasurable/painful and other dualities. We don’t give much importance to feelings. Right/wrong and the rest at best give us the rewards of pride, self-satisfaction, conceit, arrogance, status […]
I’m quietly proofreading Towards a Cross Cultural Spirituality and, in the course of it, came across this pivotal description by Jesus of his relationship to the Light that is the Christ. In his various “I am” statements in the gospels, he acknowledges here that he is speaking as the Light rather than as Jesus the […]
Variations on the phrase “feeling good” receive different receptions. A “feel good” movie is one that sets out to elevate our feelings, but there’s the added implication that it has no other redeeming feature. The words “superficial” and “feel good” often go together. “Feeling good” is often viewed as a way of closing down further […]
What to do during lockdown, quarantine, social isolation, etc.? I’d highly recommend meditation. But I have no depth of background in meditation so I can’t speak to it. I do plan to meditate more myself, given the isolating conditions. But what about during the time when we’re not meditating? How to “make best use of […]
Some statements are so right on, they stop you in your tracks. The Arcturian Group said recently: “Compassion, service, and a growing awareness of the problems of others are the beginning steps that eventually lead every individual to a state of consciousness in which no one is left out, a consciousness that understands that no […]
I’m finding there comes a time when a bridge is crossed. It’s one of many bridges, one of them being Ascension itself. (1) And, like so much else, for the experience to flower, I have to consciously recognize what’s happening. I have to move from unconscious awareness of the thing in question to conscious awareness. […]
I assert that a Fifth-Dimensional world is a world that works for everyone. I assert that an ascended world is a world that works for everyone. A world beyond mukti, moksha, or liberation is a world that works for everyone. The dead are alive and the living are dead. That proverb has so many levels […]
Most people in the world do not know about Ascension. Most do not believe that we survive bodily death. Certainly most do not know that life has a purpose, a direction, a meaning. (1) What we believe determines the world we live in – and the world we don’t. Another way of saying that is […]
Exploration has become fun. I’m lying here, past sunset. The sky goes from red to orange to yellow to green to light blue, dark blue, and black. It’s really beautiful. And I feel happy. Me, the troll under the bridge. Ebenezer Scrooge. Bah! Humbug! No, no, really. I feel happy. There’s no Constant Comment sitting […]
(email) In a lifetime where you were conditioned to shut down, fit in, and find some shred of ‘normalcy’ in embodying the smallest version of you, the visceral feeling of expanding out of the smallest self and returning home to your natural state as the true infinite self is precisely what the grace of despair […]
