To awake to watch, 'Dianne does this', 'this is how Dianne lives', 'oh and now this is what is happening', lots of spaces in between, lots of floating of not being here. Lovely blissful energy. And then it continued and continued with bits coming in, a feeling of total freedom within and without a sense of space and overwhelming tears.
To touch a plant and tears just continued to fall as I was with the no separation of us. Sobbingly overwhelm to drink a glass of the rain water, that this was also me and drinking it into the body, the one that carries this being around that this being resides in.
No one there driving to Paul's place, then, oh driving, oh the leaf fell on the road, oh, oh, oh, then eventually getting to Paul's, which is only 1 km down the road. Ahhhh.
The slowing down is so full, the time is no more and the seeer and the seen are one, the peace that passeth all understanding, all there and more. beautiful. And this is what I didn't know I (Dianne) was seeking.
Dianne wanted a life without the dramas, without the stuff, without the ups and down, Dianne had lived 50 years the other way and was willing to look for another way to live. And yes it popped in on Monday morning, the 'are you willing to let go Dianne". Half asleep half awake. then when I (?) did arise, oh, very different.
So the answer that all are seeking is..... all of what Paul [Lowe] says, without conditions, without the person...... Dianne stopping to go oh, but what about, oh if I can have this, if if if............. There is a totally being with all of who you are, what you are. I saw my impatience and rightous-ness and so went to a very strange sharing group, where that was so in my face and so uncomfortable and sat with it, felt it. I stayed no changing to fit.
Dianne looked at the taking, the dishonesty and did not do that any more what ever it took to not be that way, no matter how uncomfortable it was, no matter the loss incurred no matter how much 'face I lost' no matter how uncontrolled it was. and being with not getting what Dianne wanted.
Until, and this is just the possibility, that she dissolved, Dianne no more was there. and now tears fall from these eyes in gratitude for
that process, gratitude for the man of amazing wisdom that lives down the road, deep appreciation for Dianne's willingness to go
beyond her, to feel the being that is here now is just such a huge over whelming feeling of love.
In loving care to you all
About 10 years ago I found myself taken over by a continuous stream of thought about all the pain, suffering, and heartache I had ever experienced and all the places in the world reflecting these aspects of life. While the observer in me, well aware of its impact on my health and well being, wanted to shift it, the momentum behind it seemed unstoppable.
At one point a voice within me rose up over the noise and said, " Sing!". That week I joined the Interfaith choir at One Spirit Learning Alliance <http://www.onespiritinterfaith.org/> and in a few short weeks shifted my world considerable.
Singing is a powerful way to shift our minds and influence our creations. The level of intensity found in "big city" environments requires ways that meet the challenges presented by this intensity. Singing mantra is one of the ways that has served me well.
What is the inner soundtrack of your life?
The purpose of spiritual practice is the care of the human body, mind, and spirit and includes the acknowledgment and care of the soul. It is a natural part of daily life and living. It clears metabolic waste from our living energy systems and puts us back into conscious alignment with our natural divinity and connection to Infinite Intelligence at the very core and source of our being.
I have made and continue to make shifts as the layers of "old news" and bad programing purge themselves from my "bodies". It is an ongoing process just as life is an ongoing process. Practices with Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Mind, and Love... Mantra is a Spiritual Practice of Mind and Mindfulness.
On the more traditional path there is a great abundance available to discover about Mantra. But, don't just read about it. The benefit is in the doing; in the practice. Set aside some time each day and give your old thought systems a taste of something divine... Let me know what you discover.
blessings, Peace
I would like to share these wonderful Mantras I came across on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/LordGanesha
●►Ganesha Mantra●►
Ganesha Mantras are known as Siddhi Mantra the one with perfection. Each and every mantra is full of energy and power of Lord Ganesha. It is believed that mantras of Ganesha, when chanted with genuine devotion, give positive results. These mantras ward off all trials and troubles gracing the devotee with every success.
●►11 Special Ganesha Mantras●►
1. "Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah":- "Praise to Lord Ganesha". This is the mantra of prayer, love and adoration. It is chanted to get Ganesha's blessings for the positive starting of a project, work or simply to offer him the praise.
2.Aum Gan Ganapatye Namah:-This is Lord Ganesha's mula ("root") mantra .It is also known as his ''beej'' Mantra. This mantra is used for Yoga Sadhana in which we pray to Lord Ganesha and merge ourself with the supreme knowledge and peace. This is a mantra from Ganapati Upanishad. One can always use it before starting any new venture so that success comes without any hassle.
3. "Aum Vakratundaya Hum":-This is a powerful mantra from Ganesha Purana. When things are not in your favour, or when the minds of the people turn negative, depressed or discouraged, the attention of Ganesha may be drawn by this mantra to straighten their ways. The HUM symbolizes "Delay no more, my Lord, in straightening the paths of the crooked-minded ones." This mantra is used many a times in the Ganesha Purana to reduce the violence of cruel demons. In addition, this mantra could also be used for healing any spinal problem, such as curvature of the spine or curved limbs. Dedicate 1,008 repetitions of this holy word to straighten and heal such deficiencies.
4."Aum Kshipra Prasadaya Namah":-Kshipra means immediate. If some danger or negative energy is coming your way and you don't know how to get rid of that danger, with true devotion, practice this mantra for quick blessing and purification of one's aura.
5. "Aum Shrim Hrim Klim Glaum Gam Ganapataye vara varada sarva janamme vashamanaya svaha":-There are several beej (seed) mantras in this mantra. Among other things, it says, "Shower Your blessings, O Lord. I offer my ego as an oblation."
6." Aum Sumukhaya Namah":-This mantra has a lot of meaning, in simple terms, it means you will be always very beautiful in soul, in spirit, in face, everything. By meditating on this mantra, very pleasing manners and a beauty comes on you. Along with that comes peace, which constantly works in your eyes; and the words you speak are all filled with that power of love.
7."Aum Ekadantaya Namah":-Ekadanta refers to one tusk in the elephant face, which means God broke the duality and made you to have a complete one-pointed mind. Whoever has that oneness of mind and single-minded devotion will achieve everything.
6."Aum Kapilaya Namah":-Kapila (red) means that you are able to give colour therapy. You are able to create colours around yourself and around others, soak them in that colour and heal them. As per the mantra you create, so will you create the colors. Another meaning is "wish cow," the "cow of plenty." It means that whatever you wish, that comes true. There is a wish-cow inside you. Whatever you wish, especially for curing others, comes true instantly.
7." Aum Gajakarnikaya Namah":-The ears of Ganesha, the elephant - god, are constant fanning, which means people can talk a lot, but you are not receiving inside anything other than what is important. It also means that you can sit any where and tune this celestial tube (the body) with seven channels (chakras) and all 72,000 nadis, to any loka and be able to hear ancestors, angels, the voice of God or the voice of prophets. That kind of inner ear you will develop through this mantra.
8."Aum Lambodaraya Namah":-This means you feel that you are this universe. It means that all the celestial bodies are within you. Like an entire tree is in the seed, the whole universe is in the sound of creation, which is Aum, and that Aum consciousness in you makes you feel that you are the universe. Therefore, if you say, realizing the oneness with the universe, "shanti to the world" every day, then the grace of God will come and there will be world peace, universal peace. It is the universe within Aum and Aum within you.
9." Aum Bhalachandraya Namah" :- In Sanskrit, bhala means the forehead center. Chandra means the crescent moon. Bhalachandra means that chakra from where the nectar drips. That is the secret of all healing. It is to feel yourself as Shiva, identifying yourself with the Truth and feeling constantly that you are carrying the crescent moon, the symbol of growth and nectar of peace.
10."Aum Vinayakaya Namah" :-Vinayaka is the name of Ganesha in the golden age. So by realizing this mantra, your life will have a golden age. In your office, in your work, you'll be the boss. Vinayaka means something under control. Vinayaka means the Lord of resolving problems.
11."Aum Bhalachandraya Namah":In Sanskrit, bhala means the forehead center. Chandra means the crescent moon. Bhalachandra means that chakra from where the nectar drips. That is the secret of all healing. It is to feel yourself as Shiva, identifying yourself with the Truth and feeling constantly that you are carrying the crescent moon, the symbol of growth and nectar of peace.
MAHARISHI: ...senses of action and the prana,
ego, intellect, mind - all this constitutes the subtle
body. And the subtle body has to have the gross
body to work. Eye sight works through eyes.
Sense of hearing works through ears.
This goes out of the body (at the time of death).
And how it goes? The example is of a bee hive,
when the bees leave the bee hive. The process is
that the queen bee flies first. (laughs) And then all
other bees follow the queen bee. And the bee hive
is left, finished.
The queen bee is the prana, and it comes out
and then it is followed by all these mind, intellect,
senses and all that. This is how the subtle body
leaves the gross body and goes to a field where
the last desire at the time of death will bemost
easily fulfilled. You follow the point?
Whatever is the last desire, it doesn't matter -
the last desire promotes theprana to come out.
And prana comes out, but it gets a direction
through that momentum of the desire.
This way and this way and this way. And it goes
and goes and goes.
Wherever the last desire is, for whatever thing,
that is the direction of the - we call it soul, not
that Being soul, but the subtle body. It goes
motivated by the last desire and goes to a field
where that desire will be most easily fulfilled.
This is the passage of rebirth. ...to that family,
to that mother. In the womb of that mother, like that.
In whatever family one is born, he is born
there just because that field is most conducive
to the last desire which carries with it the sum
total of the karma of the past life. Innumerable karmas
and all the bundle of karma. And all the bundle of
karma goes all around the central point of thelast desire.
Last desire takes him to that field.
Maybe someone is to be born in the ex-family,
mother. Now, whether he is to be born blind or
deaf or what, this will be brought about by the
total influence of the karma. All innumerable
karmas. And the collective influence of the karmas
will provide him with the machinery.
Whether one is born completely bright and
brilliant or dull or this, whatever, that is the
sum total of the karma, influence of all the
karma. But the birth is due to the last desire,see?
Someone who dies, thinking of his cat, dear cat -
he is going to be born as a cat. (laughter) Whether
he will be born as a cat on the street or as a cat in a
palace, that will be brought about by the influence
of the influence of the total karma. (laughs)
But cat he must become. Because the last desire was
"Now who will feed this dear cat. I am going now,
who will take care of it?" And that's it. That much
is enough to make him born as a cat. But what kind
of cat, where, how much happier or how much
miserable (laughs), that total karma will
decide about the kind of cat...
Difficult getting anything over to someone who is asleep -
to the fact that they asleep - to the fact that they are dreaming they are awake.
As everyone is so asleep, asleep is normal.
So if anyone does wake up - they are seen as strange.
Gurdjieff really went into how asleep we all really are.
He went so far as to say that we are not born with a soul - we have to
earn/create one,
and until we do, we are just energy providers - for the moon! Cute.
Mentioned before, one master said only about one thousand people have
woken up - ever.
Here in the West, in our usual arrogant way, we think an occasional
meditation retreat or group every few years, and a handful of brown rice
will do it.
If you read the biographies of the few who are said to be awake you will
see that it is a big, and usually, very uncomfortable process.
Not that it has to be, but it seems it needs the extreme to get us out of
our stupor.
It seems that even in the most strict Zen monasteries, very few have an
awakening experience. From the sound of it, more have them in Kira and
Clare's Satori groups!
Trouble is, as with most exulting experiences - once we go back to our
'normal' lives it is
so easy to go back to sleep. Don't have to - and we do.
Here is something I, or anybody I have read or heard of, has ever been
able to describe clearly enough to get it over: 'This Is It.' And there is
only this.
It is so simple that the mind thinks it has got it. The mind cannot get
it.
Of course it professes it does, but the fact is, not only does it not have
the capacity to get it, it cannot understand that it does not have the
capacity to get it, or even, there is something to get.
It just does not have the capacity to understand that it cannot understand
-
that there is something broader, and 'outside of itself.'
Here goes anyway.
When you think, you are either in the past, or a projected future - based
on the past.
Here is an even more difficult bit.
You think you are a man, or a woman. You are not - that is just a thought.
I know, I know, I have heard that argument before - many times.
Please, just let it in. Everything you think - is just a thought - based
on a consensus of an idea. Not only that, but the consensus has been
created by: Not Very Nice People.
You are not a woman, or a man. That is just an idea.
You are not married - or single. You do not have a home, or career. Just
an idea.
(You can be sitting in a café thinking you have a home - and it has burnt
down -
and the insurance invalid! Or your termination notice is in the post.)
"The beasts have their dens and the birds have their nests,
but the son of man hath nowhere to lay his head."
This does not mean what your mind is telling you it means.
It means there is nothing but this very moment. Just as it is.
Not only that, you are not entitled - to anything. That really is a big
one eh.
You are not entitled. You are who you are - in that moment - and only in
that moment,
because that is the only moment there is - in that moment. Tidily Pom.
Another thing.
When some people have an awakening they try everything they know to pass
on the experience of that state. As said, very few stay the course.
Everything goes fine until - The Big One - letting go the idea of a self.
Pride.
Gurdjieff really went for it. Tried everything tried before, and invented
lots of ways of his own. So it is said, no one got it. He experimented
with meditation, music, complicated exercises, thirty -six hour hard
labour, instantl-stop-what-you-are-doing-until-the-bell -rings-again.
Anything to push the person past their resistance.
One story. Scene:
Ouspensky was his foremost disciple. He lived in London at the time.
Gurdjieff was in a remote part of Russia.
There were wars raging all over Europe and the continent.
Somehow Gurdjieff got a message to Ouspensky that he should come to him
immediately.
In order to get enough money to do so Ouspensky had to sell his house and
leave his wife and family.
After months of very dangerous travelling he arrived to where Gurdjieff
was staying.
It is said that, Gurdjieff looked up and said: "Now you go back."
The journey, not the goal.
It is said that at that point Ouspensky stopped being a disciple, and
continued his search - through the mind.
Most of us have nothing like that devotion - to even go beyond our pride.
And of course we don't have to - do anything - about anything.
And, if we do not feel free there is always something eating away inside
of us.
Seems we are born with an instinct to evolve, and if we ignore the message
-
it eats us up.
Once again, nothing to be taken seriously, it is just that everything does
seem to have a consequence - one way or another.
Suggestion.
If you feel waking up is not your priority - then go for life and living.
I mean really go for it.
Loa Tzu: "Standing, stand; sitting, sit. Above all - don't wobble."
Happy somethinging...
As I think Gurdjieff made clear - many people are open for incre-mental
changes, but bulk at the big ones. He likened it the chromatic scale in
music - needs a semi-tone to get to the next level. Or something like that.
Even with incremental changes there are usually subtleties to be included.
But it is The Big One where people turn back.
(Trouble is, if we acknowledge The Big One then we are going to have to stop
holding on to everything - everything, and let life live us.)
Most of us have no idea how much we attempt to control our lives - through
attempting to control others, and life in general.
As I understand him, Jesus attempted to share this through his saying:
"Thy Will Be Done."
(My take on life is that there is not a 'Thy.'
Life is the Thy, and we are Life.)
So often I have shared with a person - right up to the point where they need
to see themselves and their behaviour. Meaning, to take responsibility for
their actions, words, and thoughts - and thus their reality and the state of
their lives. That is usually where they find a perfectly 'legitimate' excuse
to stop looking: "For a while."
One difficulty for a person attempting to support a person through this
stage is that when the person is in the middle of one of their patterns,
that is when they want to quit - 'for a while.'
The most potent time for seeing and releasing yourself from a pattern of
your cellular memory is right when you are in the middle of it.
Otherwise, it is just mind stuff -how can you 'deal' with something that is
not happening right in that moment!
Classical example:
Disciple goes to his guru and asks how he can deal with his
anger/sex/greed/pride/jealousy/etc.
The guru asks the disciple to show him the
anger/sex/greed/pride/jealousy/etc. so he can observe it!
If it is not actually happening it is only a (distorted) memory.
If you really, really want to be free - then you are already.
Never have not been.
If you are not yet feeling free then it means you want to be free - on your
terms. Trouble is, it is your terms that are keeping you from feeling your
freedom! Nobody is keeping it from you - except you and your conditional
terms. You want to be free - in the same place, with the same people, in the
same conditions, with the same views. "Unless you die and be reborn."
When 'it' 'happens' - meaning you suddenly realise you have been free all
the time, you also realise that it was your idea of what freedom is that was
preventing you from being in it.
That sort of thing.
Happy freedoming...
person thinks it is complete. Sometimes it is, but mostly there are
subtleties' to be accommodated.
Someone I know has had such an awakening.
It is so awesome they think it is complete.
They have had the major realisation of how complaint poisons -
their own lives, and those around them. So they no longer complain.
They are elated at the difference in their lives. Wonderful.
What they are not yet seeing are the subtleties'.
When they speak of an event, although there are no major complaints, there
are still a subtle judgements. The judgments are so subtle they are almost
indefinable - yet they still contaminate.
They speak of one person who they do not want to be around - because they
only talk about themselves - in great detail, yet another person who does
almost the same thing, they accept. Mostly, our opinions about other people
have more to do with ourselves than the other person.
The difference between rejection and acceptance has to do with the person
having the opinion. Usually we judge a person most who behaves like a part
of ourselves we are not yet accepting in ourselves.
What is not so easy to comprehend is that - everything we think we are
seeing 'out there' is a projection of ourselves. We are not seeing clearly
what may be out there, we are actually seeing a projection that is based on
our opinion.
When a certain level of awakening has happened all judgment dissolves. Gone.
Although your acceptance may now be unconditional, you may still choose not
to be around a certain person - because their behaviour is not fun for you.
Most self-cantered people are like a tornado - they are so totally involved
in themselves they drag out energy from everyone and everything around.
Not so much fun to be around.
When a certain level has awakened, love is always foremost.
You may, because of their unpleasant behaviour, never need, or even want to
see a certain person again, yet love will always be foremost when you think
about them. And that can change in a moment.
Here is how you can tell about your level of acceptance.
If you are around a person who is grossly self-cantered, and you contract,
you are 'not there yet.' If you are around that person and although you do
not enjoy their behaviour, yet there is no contraction, and you feel for the
person, you have realised a deep level of awakening.
Here is an interesting thing you can play with.
See if you can get some people you know to give you a genuine appraisal of
how they see you. If you can get some people who do not like you to do the
same, better still.
What you will find is that, even if it is subtle, everyone has a different
opinion. Everyone sees you differently.
So is what they are seeing more to do with you - or them?
Usually, even if their opinion is mostly projection, there is something for
you to consider about yourself.
Then, see how you feel about yourself, and whatever, don't take it
seriously.
There’s a new frequency coming through humanity today and it’s turning our
lives upside down. So many of us are experiencing increasing challenges as our
world is rocked by unexpected inner and outer events. So many of us are being
impacted by an increasing intensity in our daily lives and in our emotions. And
so many of us are feeling a sense of anticipation as if something new is about to
happen but we don't what that is.
Whether we experience these changes and challenges as fear or as excitement is a
choice we each have to make. Because the new frequency is about making new
choices in our lives. We are in the midst of a new evolutionary impulse that is
creating the possibility for a fundamental shift in how we see things, in our beliefs,
our thoughts, our feelings, our words and our actions. It's a new paradigm of living
and being and we are being birthed into it. And, like all births, it is both painful and
exciting. It is out of the chaos that something new is born. It is at the darkest hour that
we stand at the edge of a rebirth into the light of a fresh dawn.
This new paradigm is the call to Radical Awakening. It’s the call to get conscious in
every aspect of our lives. Radical Awakening is a fundamental shift in the relationship
to Life … and ultimately to ourselves. Do we operate from the myopic viewpoint of a
contracted ego or do we operate from the clarity afforded us when we stand in the
360-degree perspective of an unbounded heart? Do we operate from our smallness or
from our greatness? Do we operate from a victim-consciousness or do we operate as
conscious co-creators? This is the choice that we are being offered … and the choice
that we make will alter our future for better or for worse.
More and more of us are becoming aware that this choice is available to us. The trick is
that we need to make this choice in every moment and in every circumstance. Radical
Awakening is the frequency of the Divine Feminine … and the Divine Feminine leaves
no stone unturned in her mission to heal the wound of separation that is the cause of all
suffering. Her love is a fierce one, a tenacious one, and a courageous one. Her love is
that of a mother who will do anything to protect her children and get the job done. And
the job in this case is to shift us from separation to oneness. Wherever we separate ourselves
from Source is where we separate ourselves from Life and from ourselves. And whenever
we live in a state of separation we experience anxiety, scarcity, fear, competitiveness,
stress and isolation.
Radical Awakening is the call to recognize and embody the truth of who we really are.
Because only when we have truly tasted the sweet nectar of our essential divinity - our
wholeness and our holiness – can we truly operate from a unity paradigm. When we stop
looking at the world through the eyes in our head and start looking through the eyes of our
heart, we come to see that everything that exists is spun together with the same thread of
magic and we come to know that every single person and every single thing is a
manifestation of the One Source. Tapping into the vast ocean of our Being-nature -
that part of us that is unchanging and eternal - means that we are at one with life as it
unfolds within our own experience. And this means that we are no longer victims of
circumstances!
The shift from our heads to our hearts grants us the power to make a choice in how we
respond to life. Instead of reacting from our habitual patterns, we can now choose to respond
with more life-affirming thoughts, feelings, words and actions. Instead of operating from
a reality clouded by past-fear of future-hope, we can operate within the crystal-clear lens
of the present moment. It’s when we step fully into the present that the inner light of our
true radiance can shine. Our true radiance is our willingness to be total, to fully show up
and offer ourselves wholeheartedly to life as it moves through us, to allow the fire of passion
to burn through all self-limitations so that we offer our unique gifts to the world in service
to the greater whole. This is a shift from a me-centred perspective of “what can I get from
life?” to a we-centred perspective of “what can I give to life?” It’s a radical turn-around of
all our self-protective ways to a new unlimited way of being that ultimately leads to more
happiness, more joy, more love and more freedom for ourselves and for all those around us.
This radical awakening is a new spirituality that has little to do with running away to
the mountain-top to meditate in seclusion for a few more lifetimes. Nor has it much to
do with holding hands and praying for peace to come one day in the future. The new
frequency is about bringing spirituality into a deep intimacy with practicality. The Divine
Feminine is an earthy vibration that seeks to heal the wound of separation that has plagued
our relationships to all things tangible: our relationship to our bodies and health, our
relationship to other people, and our relationship to our work and our money. All of these
are realms not normally embraced by the traditional spiritual path.
Today the call is to get conscious within the nitty-gritty of our daily lives. The new frequency
is impacting our health, our intimate relationships, our work and our money. So many of us are
experiencing a breakdown of one or more of these areas of our lives, so many of us are
experiencing unexpected illness, loss of loved ones, disillusionment with work and financial
instability. So many of us are yearning to find our true purpose in the world. And all of this
is as it should be … the light of the Divine Feminine is revealing to us those aspects of our
lives in which are still operating from a separation-perspective. The call is to choose
love not fear, greatness not smallness, and to know ourselves as conscious
co-creators of our reality.
The choice is ours to make … and the power to make that choice is available to us now!

What your holy books never told you (or you chose to ignore) about Awakening
Today I would like to take the time to address some things that you may never have
heard about which happens upon or after Awakening / Enlightenment / Liberation.
These happenings are usually never mentioned in the holy books, or if they are,
they are totally ignored. This is merely a "check list", of sorts, to refer to when
one is rather convinced that the whole world had this Awakening "thing" backwards
(which, by the by, they do... but, this will be understood on its own in due time.).
1.) Awakening or Enlightenment is the last great disappointment of ego. In that
non-instant there is the bewildered declaration of: "Are you kidding me!?", followed
by utter perplexity that eventually yields to the deepest laughter ever encountered.
Most of the "Awake" (or subsequent books about Awakening) discuss the laughter.
However, the laughter doesn't come first; at first you will be baffled and will, more
than likely, feel slightly let down for a few short moments. Welcome to the 'cosmic
joke' (and yes, it was on you!).
2.) No one will notice a thing. Your closest friends and family will, more than likely,
not see much of a change. You will not glow. Angels will not surround your home.
Buddha will not come knocking at your door to welcome you into "the club". You
may actually become more annoying to those closest to you. You will want to share
in the delight of the Truth that has been uncovered, but your loved ones will:
a) have no idea what you are talking about and quietly believe you have officially
lost your marbles,
b) could care less about your latest discovery (which, to them, is likely to be just another
"aha" among a long journey of "aha's" that you've shared with them umpteen times before),
c) your gibberish and inability to communicate what is understood sounds like an alien
language that makes them dizzy, confused and quite irritated with you.
3.) You will feel emotion like you have never felt before. There is now a quiet, steady
center that is constantly present; however, when an emotion comes along, its
energectic depth will suprise you. You will realize that without any barriers in place
(namely, the sense of a seperate self) that these energies are free to go from 0 to
100 in a matter of seconds. And they will. You will also realize that you had never
truly experienced happiness, sadness or even anger as it is before. Do not be
surprised and, by all means, do not attempt to block this from happening.
The Freedom of Truth even allows the freedom of free flowing emotional energy.
Enjoy the ride.
4.) You will forget what it's like to live without the Understanding of Truth.
This will frustrate the hell out of you. You will attempt to describe, point and
guide others that are not within this Understanding a thousand times; it will fail
miserably. You are now unable to comprehend how they can't see This Truth
(as you have forgotten what that's like and can't, even for a second, pretend to be
separate from life again) and they can't understand a word of what you are saying.
You will also give up trying to share hundreds of times. However, the universe will
continually put you back in such a position again and again and again ... until you
accept the frustration, accept that you can't make another Understand and humbly
point to the ineffable despite the difficulities.
5.) A magical thing eventually happens; you are blessed with a "bullshit meter".
It picks up on people's indiscretions, lies, stories, masks, fears, etc from miles away.
It's now hard to play the game of "pretend I'm someone I'm not" with someone that really
isn't what they are hoping to pretend they aren't. You will lose patience with people's utter
insistence that they are real in the way they believe they are. You will lose patience with
the same old storylines making an appearance within your life with those closest to you.
You may even walk away from some old relationships, as you can now clearly see the
foundations were based upon need, lack and the want for connection that is
no longer necessary.
6.) You will unintentionally offend people ... many people. It will be difficult to pump
up people's egos just for the sake of making them feel better; rather, you will share in
an honest way and this isn't what most people want to hear. You will eventually learn
when to speak and when to be silent; opting for the latter more and more.
7.) When you close your eyes, the world will disappear... there will be no cognition of
anything. When you open your eyes again, it's like a magic trick when the cognition
comes back. It's better than ice cream.
8.) Ice cream will still make the body fat. It hasn't lost the ability to gain weight.
9.) You will make mistakes. Many of them. That body is still an imperfect human
being living within an imperfect world. Embrace this.
10.) You will laugh often. Outloud. To yourself. For no apparent reason.
People will not understand this, as it's really an "inside joke". Their stares and your
laughter will make you laugh harder.
11.) There will be "settling" or "deepening" into This Ever Present Truth.
12.) You will get lost gazing at the night sky. You will fall in love with flying birds.
You will weep over the unnecessary suffering of any living thing. You will smile at the gentle
cooing of babies. Life will always be the suprising gift that it is.
13.) If you had a Teacher (s), you will fall to your knees in utter gratitude and humility
at the Grace and Guidance given. This will never go away ...
14.) You may have accumulated rooms and rooms full of spiritual paraphernalia and books.
You will realize that these collections (which were pretty unnecessary) are now taking up all
of your free space. Ebay is a great way to get rid of them and allow those currently seeking
Truth to "surround themselves with holy things".
15.) All is holy. Even poop. But poop still stinks.

Dear Divine Souls,
The first days of my return to Penukonda were highlighted by a lunch with
Swami in his office. As usual in casual moments with Swami, Telugu dance movies
blared from the TV, very loudly. I spent many hours with him, and he asked me to
tell you my impressions of that wonderful time.
Swami is my big son. That is what he tells me, something he repeated several
times during our conversation. In the Divine Mystery Fort Volume One he signeda
statement that I was his soul parent. I am his soul father and Monika is his soul
mother. He constantly reminds us that these were not empty words and that soul
parents have a special energy channel whose meaning will become clearer in the future.
As Swami's soul father I want only the best for my "son."
It is no accident that negativity would attack Swami as he released the first volume
of The Real Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ. This book series will open the world
to the path to greatness followed by Jesus. Imagine the change that will flow when
there are thousands, or millions, of the highest level masters.
Throughout history nature has protected the status quo by casting doubt on
those who seek to end the cycle of oppression that afflicts us all. Jesus was
executed for threatening the the existing order, and now Swami repeats the
truth that was so threatening when it came from Jesus - we are not small
creatures doomed to live lives of pain and then disappear, instead we are
beings who contain creative powers of untold magnificence; and it is easier
to reach these powers than to continue living in helplessness.
One of the challenges of Jesus' lineage, as great as it is, lies with their
failure to fully assume their own greatness, instead relying on the nearly
infinite compassion offered by Jesus.
Swami greeted me with a heart-to-heart hug that enveloped me in his huge
love and grace, and it was tempting to just become nothing and know that he
would take care of everything, just as he did in the past. But then Swami started
to talk, and he made it clear that was not what he wanted from his students.
Yes, he loves us but he also wants us to step into the same greatness that was
offered by Jesus.
Be a creator not a victim. We have to take the world's response and
transform it into divinity. The mistakes that blocked Jesus' full expression
came from the students, and it is us, today's spiritual students, who have
to correct that mistake.
The world is filled with negativity, but that negativity always is accompanied
by opportunity. The energy is always both positive and negative. All too often
we look at the negativity only as the world sees it. A master sees the hidden
positive energy and uses it to make a new creation.
Swami has said that the present troubles in the world, and in Swami's life, are
Mother Divine's birth pains. She is not punishing us. Every mother suffers
during birth, but that pain disappears once the new baby is born. We are about
to welcome a new baby, full of promise and potential.
New babies are a time when families celebrate, no one concentrates on
the birth pains. Our family is about to be blessed.
We are present at the birth of the real game.
We are family. This is our time of celebration.
During this time of birth Swami has asked that no telephone or video
conferences originate from Penukonda. I will try to transcribe some old talks
and forward them to you; a small way to continue to share the energy.
I thank the people doing transcriptions.
I also want express my thanks for donations that have made it possible
to spend time in Penukonda.
And the love that surrounds me here is also wonderful. I was greeted by a
room outfitted by Clint and Monika with everything from food to toothbrushes
to puja items to sheets and cleaning supplies. I am being treated like a visiting
prince and I thank everyone.
And, of course, the love and support offered by Debora is what opened this
doorway, and makes it possible to remain here. My infinite gratitude goes to her.
Love Always,
Philip
