What If Enlightenment Is Only Half The Journey

We all know how much emphasis is placed on enlightenment, and rightfully so. Evolution is our number one purpose. But what if enlightenment is just half the journey. 

As a soul before we ever come to earth to play the role of a human we are full, complete and whole. Why step down to a place that can be a struggle? If expansion, growth and evolution are chief principles of universal law then maybe the new frontier is the expansion of light into a lower dimension, a lower vibrational realm, for the purpose of, the creation of heaven on earth. 

So, instead of gaining enlightenment with the intention of leaving earth behind, our journey is to continue to raise the environmental vibration and create a utopia here on earth. A place we would be happy to revisit. 

Think about it. We would be considerably more engaged in our health, wealth, knowledge and relationships. Manifestation, would be a major part of our focus. The learning of the siddhis would make more sense. I remember Maharishi saying, “Once we gain liberation (Moksha) we move on to Mastery”. Liberation, in this context, rests as a passive application of Moksha. Thereby, making Mastery the proactive component of Moksha. 

Earth is a place of contrast which makes it easy to know what we don’t want or what we want less of. This awareness is the seed for us having a desire. That which is more inline with what we do want. This will launch us into action to acquire what we want. Our default mode is to effort our way there. However, there is another way. 

Acting from the deep quietness of Self we can let a thought/desire arise that perfectly identifies precisely what we want in its subtle wholeness. We would then be in the home of all knowledge, the field of all possibilities, the state of Ritumbara Pagya. A place where each item of creation is in a perfect blueprint state and is already manifest in a myriad of dimensions, simultaneously. It is like holograms of the same item stacked one within the other with slight variations due to changes governing each of these dimensions.  However, our job as manifestors is simply to match our vibration with the item desired and Nature does the rest. In this way we can witness our co-creations. 

Let’s practice with our own health. 

Rest deeply in your own silence. Now, bring in the feeling of your body. Initially just feel your body’s vibration and simply rest with this feeling. You will feel subtle corrections taking place by this act of attention alone. Then wish for perfect health. Stay present and you will witness the tiny devas joyfully working to make your body healthier. If you can’t see them or feel them then imagine them and soon they will magically materialize. Don’t forget the joyfulness, that’s where the magic is. 

Love. Love. Love. 

Akashic Records Part Three Follow The Letters

The second pathway was one of following what is written within the golden tablets.

As I peered into the letters of the tablets they transcended into another level, a higher frequency dimension. I found that the letters morphed into Sanskrit letters circling a yellow orb. Brilliant yellow globe with a red center. Somehow I knew this to be a symbolic representation of Veda. The knowledge was conveyed visually, cognitively and audibly via the soft sound of Vedic chanting. I was in some kind of heaven.

Understand that I’m doing all this exploration with an orb type body. Know that my body is now seen as an elongated egg like object with a toroidal vortex on the top and bottom. This body, me, moved forward to enter the yellow globe and in the process the Sanskrit writing instantly circled my elongated egg body. It make my body  a bright yellow with red writing slowly rotating in a counterclockwise direction. The feeling was totally blissful and I instantly knew this was a gift from the powers that be. As deep gratitude filled me. Such a beautiful gesture from on high. It said, “We love you”.

Beyond Patanjali

In Hinduism, functioning in the world is fundamentally the interplay between the three gunas, tamas, rajas and sattva. Tamas is dullness or ignorance. Rajas is passion, goal driven action. Sattva is goodness, refinement or inspiration. Our behavior is a domination of one of these gunas but the other gunas are never far behind.

Sattva is what is at the basis of religion or norms of proper behavior. An attempt to be more Godly. Behavioral training until we achieve a state where we are “good” spontaneously, Atman.

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras span the gap between sattva and atman. The apex of Patanjali’s knowledge rests in chapter 3, The Powers. There Patanjali brings Dharana, (focus) Dhyana, (meditation) and Samadhi, (transcendence) into one exercise he calls, Samyama.

Let’s take a step back. Before we launch onto samyama, we must first get familiar with the field of the transcendence, samadhi. This happens via meditation. Once we go deep into meditation we come to a layer of awareness which we can term as pure awareness. Awareness without any objects of focus. Awareness alone. Usually experienced as a bright field of light with nothing else. There is a sense of peace, contentment or bliss, in this state. If you get nothing but this state out of your spiritual exploits consider yourself blessed. Resting in this state is a phenomenal achievement. Evidently, however, there is more.

Patanjali sought to explore this field of samadhi. He located two layers of samadhi. One that was pure and not involved in the phenomenal world, a seedless samadhi. The other was, as Patanjali put it, a samadhi with seed.

The samadhi with seed seems to have many names, storehouse of all impressions, field of all possibilities, ritam bhara pragya, a layer of truth, etc. Through samyama we request traits, qualities or aspects such as friendliness, compassion or love and allow them to fall into samadhi and in a moment that quality is mentally manifest in our awareness. In my case I end up wearing the quality as a cloak. We bring that particular quality out of the field of all possibilities and imbue it onto our self. But it is not our self. It’s an item of clothing so to speak, that we choose, as it were, to portray our self as … Its a costume. An outfit. A persona we wish to display. Patanjali has brought us this level of interaction with samadhi. However, this field of samadhi with seed has more for us.

It’s also a seat of knowledge. Endless knowledge. Akashic records knowledge. Once we become intimately familiar with this layer of samadhi with seed we can actually ask this glorious domain questions. This state of awareness is filled with an endless array of information/knowledge. It is overwhelming. So, before you go in, you want to have an intention of what specifically you want to know. In this way you can follow one thread and not a whole ball of yarn. You can unravel that one thread and know everything about it. Why it is? How it is? How that tendency started? What contributed to its altered nature? What needs to happen to unravel the damage or injury? 

And if we go deep enough we may even get a glimpse of the blueprint of that particular trait. That particular trait in a state of perfection. Restoring a trait of our personality to its original state is huge. This is real shadow work. True healing. This is the fourth state of the highest use of the Light. The transcendence. God.

Let's recap. First we find a way to have direct experience of the lively transcendence. Samadhi with seed. The field of all possibilities.

Then we call on that field to manifest a quality or trait. Example: friendliness, compassion or unconditional love. When our request is fulfilled we wear that trait like clothes. Allowing it to influence our self. All the while knowing that the cloak is not our self but rather an influential garment, a tool to help us refine our persona in a specific manner.

Then we use the knowledge aspect of the light/transcendence and ask it questions, specific questions. Thereby establishing and interactive dialogue between the light and our self. At this stage we may notice our self go between being an object and a subject. This is good. It shows maturity of awareness. These states are not static. They are both object and subject simultaneously. This is a rich experience capturing wholeness of experience by playing the knowledge from both the prospective of the object, the receiver and the subject, the conceiver, simultaneously. This is the goal of karma. The experience of being the actor and the one acted upon. This is a more refined method of accomplishing the role of karma. Designed to provide the wholeness of experience by experiencing the thing both objectively and subjectively.

Lastly, we use the light, this transcendental state to unravel itself. Since, through deep communication in the knowledge stage of this process we now know the purpose of our experience, and can understand the pure intention of the experience, without the drama. Now, the harm or injury to the self can be healed. Healed in a complete way without using overlays of “good” traits like friendliness, compassion, unconditional love, etc.

Once, through the stage of knowledge, the understanding is crystal clear as to the purpose of our seeming missteps, there is no need to imbue the self with the vibration of goodness. The fire of knowledge consumes the reason for karma. The self is free. Free to live the intended state. Free to live the perfection of our own blueprint. This is liberation, Moksha.

First, direct experience of samadhi, the transcendence. Then, activation of the refined state of the qualities within the field of all possibilities. Then, interactive communication with the knowledge aspect of this field. Lastly, utilization of the true healing nature of the field which will yield perhaps, the fifth step, that of true freedom.

With, Love 

Karma 1

Karma literally means action or the act of doing. So yes, as long as we have a body there is karma even if it’s just breathing or the beating of the heart. If the body is alive then there is karma. 

However, the kind of karma I'm considering is related to actions that have an effect on others and their consequences.

First off the consequences of any action we perform is not good or bad and it is never a punishment. Karma is designed to be an experience and since earth offers itself as a plain of existence that deals with duality there are two sides to the whole experience of each particular action/karma. There is the one doing the action and the one receiving the action. To complete the whole experience thoroughly we should play both parts. 

Simply put we should perform the action in one life and receive the action in another life. There is nothing good or bad about either.  It’s simply a way to fully experience an action. 

Next we’d like to ask why would we ever want to come to earth. Evidently, earth is a place where enlightened souls come so we may occupy a higher status in our off-earth lives. Earth is super challenging. Once we have achieved enlightenment on earth our status has significantly increased. And if we do it right we have helped many other souls to also advance in their respective evolution. 

Robert Schwartz has written a series of books, I found book one, Your Soul's Plan and two, Your Soul's Gift to be the best, and if you only have time for one book make it book two. Through the use of about 5-6 highly skilled psychics Swartz taps into the pre-life plan of various people in their planning stage before they incarnate. 

Evidently, we carefully structure all our life interactions with each key player and all the minor players as well. The inner circle may only be a handful of souls but all the players, may be in the hundreds. Every one of them are active participants in your pre-life script. And important life interactions are rehearsed. Such as the first moment you meet someone that will be important to the trajectory of your life, a dear friend, lover, teacher, etc. There are no coincidences. 

Wait a minute, what happened to free-will? 

It’s there every step of the way. If we are off script it’s usually a minor alteration. So in deep sleep we meet with our guides and masters to re-route our trajectory, creating a revised script and perhaps even recasting roles our current characters are playing. 

All of this is done with deep love for the individual souls and their evolution. It’s all heart driven action for the betterment of all. 

Earth is a challenge to begin with but many souls add more challenges to get the most out of their time on earth. Such as, coming on to earth with a sickness or disability. Or one come here as unique, like being gay in a non-friendly environment, even being ridiculed by family so you can’t get away from that harsh criticism. Why so nasty? Because progress comes from either discomfort or comfort. Many souls realize they won’t make much progress in their evolution, time on earth without pushing themselves. Putting yourself down in a harsh environment causes us to go deeper into self. Thereby exposing ourselves to our own refined nature. That revelation represents a big step in our evolution. The interesting point in this method is, a soul choosing the tough road will ask a soul family member or a deep soul friend to be the one that deals the heaviest ridicule or criticism, and its carried out with great love. (This is really touching my heart). This is why we always need to reserve judgment on anything we see. It’s seldom obvious. 

Essence of God

Remember the experience you told me about where you found you were inches away from the face of God? I had a detailed version of that a few months ago as well. 

While I was that close for the longest time a quote by the 13th century theologian Meister Eckhart came to mind. “The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God seeing me”. 

I took that to heart in that moment and put it to work. I viewed, as if through a highly focused eye, somewhat tunnel-like in nature into God. One part of my awareness venturing forward while the rest of me remained where it was, separate from God. “Taking fullness from fullness, what remains is fullness”. 

The part of me that moved forward into the realm of God then turned to look back at me (which in itself is Very Powerful I could write an article on that alone) looking through the same avenue from which I came and I saw me as God would see me. I was/am glorious, brilliant, vibrant, shimmering light, with golden petals of light at my centre. All in perpetual motion or dance. The feeling of love was almost unbearable. Now, I know why God has this sense of unconditional love. He is seeing His own Self reflected right back at Him as full as He is. He can’t help but love the scene with all His heart. Too beautiful for words. Each one of us is so very majestic at that level. 

Seeing through God’s eyes is the beginning. From the thought to know Himself, God created a second self to act as a reflector/partner, us. In one way the self is both a singularity and a plurality. That’s why we experience ourselves, in UC, as both one and many in perfect harmony and balance. That principle is what allowed me to both venture forward in action and remain still, simultaneously. 

The act of crossing over from the second Self to the first Self is part and parcel of our journey. It's structured in us because it's structured in God who made us, in His own image. In the end we can't help but be what God is. It’s the embracing of what we truly are. Both the worshipper and the worshiped. See MMY commentary in ch 6 v 32 of the Gita for verification/clarification.

Hope all of you enjoy this beauty beyond words.

Psychology of Consciousness (Part 2)

Let’s continue on with our discussion.

After this realization of oneness and it is a realization, because we suddenly become aware that this new understanding has always been there. Psychologically, we feel both found and lost. We hear a lot about the “found” part of being awake so let’s discuss the “lost” part.

Where has my god gone, is a common expression in this new state. We may experience a strong sense of Nothingness, even loneliness. No guru. No god. No reference points of any kind. Psychologically, you’re a mess.

If you choose to say to yourself I am now everything then that works for a while. However, at some point you also wake up from that because in the final analysis Everything-ness is realized as being an illusion of stuff you have ignorantly given value to. So what’s left? Basically, nothingness (haha).

In chapter 13 v 12 of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna states, that the highest (para) brahman is (na sat) not existence, nor (na asat) non-existence. This is an understanding of the highest state of awareness from the prospective of negation. Not this. Not that. It really bends the psychology. This is the “lost” I spoke of earlier. It’s really hard to live in such a state, that's why the enlightened usually don’t accept it.

Wow, here you have been gifted the ultimate state of awareness and somehow you say “no” to it?!

Yep, I see it in so many truly enlightened souls.

So what’s happening?

Even in enlightenment many of us are pulled back by habits and environment. All our lives we have lived by our own private world of nature and nurture. Those habits go deep and when faced with this new state of huge nothingness with no real reference points it’s not uncommon to step back from it. We step back into a place of psychological safety. Safety in religion or politics are common landing zones. Yeah, I know that's weird especially the religion choice. You have experienced being god how can you now allow yourself to listen to an interpretation of god but it happens.

I personally find it comical to witness. The seeing of a highly enlightened soul trying to make religion or politics fit their new realization. However, I can understand the reason. In the world around us there is very little that supports this grand state of nothingness. And if you are a person of action with strong conviction it’s tough to find a place of safety in nothingness. So you end up putting that beautiful enlightenment to use on a lesser plain or cause. In some ways it's like fighting an addiction. An addiction to ignorance.

Those that find a way to cope use surrender as their tool. Relax into the uncertainty and witness the happenings. You end up becoming very ordinary. With basically no attachment to any one thing. It’s all fine wherever you go. Sure you have options and preferences but usually you aren’t really attached to them. When life around you changes you change too. No big deal. I like to say I’m fully engaged and fully not engaged, simultaneously. Sounds impossible but it’s not.

Psychology of Consciousness (Part 1)

This blog is about a step of consciousness development seldom addressed. If you haven’t experienced it yet this discussion may cause confusion. If you have experienced it but haven’t embraced it you will now understand why. Let’s begin.

At some point in our evolution we will find that our devotion to our guru, god or goddess is becoming less. We internally know we have attained a good level of evolution but we find ourselves less bound to our icons.

Some time back when I spoke to an enlightened friend about this, he acknowledged having that experience and felt guilty about it. Thinking, how can I be so ungrateful and lose devotion for those that have brought me to this level of consciousness?

Truth is that at some point in our development devotion becomes a hindrance. Wow, what a thing to say.

Devotion is based on a parent/child relationship. But at some point in our development the child grows up. We are no longer in awe of the parent, our teacher, guru, god, goddess. Why? Because we quietly become aware that they have served as guidance even pathways to the divine essence which in the end is our own nature. What now can the guru or god give you. Literally, Nothing.

To maintain an air of devotion at this point would be to falsely support separation were there is none. What now is the difference between you and god. Nothing. You are both of the exact same nature.

In the commentary to chapter 6 verse 32 Maharishi states it nicely by saying, “…devotion reaches its fulfillment in it own extinction…” He continues, “leaving worshiper and worshiped together in perfect oneness…”

From a psychological prospective while in the early stages of our own growth we naturally look outside of ourselves for growth. Someone or something greater than ourselves. Thinking, how could I have or be the answer to my own development so why look internally?

As such, we naturally fall into a child/parent relationship. Once we find someone or something to follow we submit to them/it. Here in lies the seed to devotion. As the child, we are happy to be directed. No need to think. To try and figure out who or what we are. Simply listen and follow.

But one day we Wake-up. Things literally get turned upside down. Although, you are in a state of great bliss you are also totally confused. It’s a new game with new rules you know little about. You are in direct communication with Source. No middle man. No translator. No guide. No pathway. Absolute direct contact. So direct that it's hard to tell the difference between you and the divine. You are the divine. The divine is you. No one needs to tell that because you are living It. Yep, the rules have changed. Now you’re the whole thing. Both sides of the equation. Simultaneously. Its impossible but somehow It is. Its your new reality.

Love. Love. Love. To All ❤️❤️❤️

The Other Side of God

First off we must never forget that, we are God. Not just an image of God or a spark of God but rather God in His/Her full glory. Almighty God.

However, there’s another side to God. Humble God. A disempowered God. God purposely forgetting His/Her almighty-ness. That’s the role we all are currently playing.

If God is truly Everything how is humility known? Through the experience of humanity and mortality. What better way than to temporarily forget one’s almighty-ness and fully experience, loss, heartbreak, defeat, betrayal, limitations of every kind.

Everything that’s difficult and brings us to our knees is of our own doing designed on purpose for the sake of experiencing humility to understand compassion and ultimately love.

So enjoy all those tears, bad karma, fear and short comings. As God we need that to remember All that we are. There’s power in disempowerment. Maybe there really is Fun in dysfunctional. :)

All Love my Friends. ❤️❤️❤️

Healing 2

What can healing 2 be?

Healing 1 provided knowledge of the subtle structure of the body, our veda body and a method for enlivening, actualizing of that treasure (Ratna - the 8th word/sound of RK Veda, meaning treasure or gems). This actualization was done with determination or intention. That focus of attention on the spiral of our veda body.

Healing 2, in contrast will show you how to activate this beautiful layer of veda body without intention via the release of intention thereby enabling the process of surrender.

There are two ways to gain consciousness development, one through focus or intention or two through surrender. Try them both then decide.

Know that this beautiful layer of your own self/Self has its own mind. We are both individual and communal simultaneously. We are in the game and are the game simultaneously. So let’s try to allow the whole thing to play itself/ourself.

This requires faith - maybe. Trusting that there is an intelligence, in reality an aspect of our own communal intelligence that knows more than our individual intelligence. So in someway we are looking at it as having faith but on the other hand it’s more like trusting in our more comprehensive Self. We are the whole show.

Enough with the chatter let’s get to it.

Allow yourself to feel this multi colored, comfortable vibe of spiraling, lively, veda body. Let yourself see it, then be it. Rest there without intention just feel the vibe. Smell the roses.

Allow your own cosmic intelligence to select what it/you need. Allow the process to guide itself.

The devatas, the tiny helpers in this deep subtle layer of spiraling, single helix, veda body will take over. They know what to do. Let them go to work.

Rest in this state of activity without activity.

Enjoy my friends. Enjoy ❤️

Beyond Witnessing Part I

Witnessing happens when we identify with the big Self and watch our five senses, thinking, emotions, small self (ego) function amongst the phenomenal world. We sit back as it were playing the part of the observer. The observer to everything. As the silent witness we stand unattached to our actions. We allow our senses, mind, feelings to interact with the world. Initially, the separation is a big gap. You find your small self interacting in the world yet the infinite-you is uninvolved. The Real-you is resting in its own contentment unaffected by the goings and comings of the actions of the small self.

There is both joy and discomfort in this state of consciousness. The big Self is fulfilled and content but the subtle currents of the small self feels a sense of guilt due to a sense of responsibility. Responsibility for our charges. Without a plan, direction, intent - how will things get done? However, the attraction to the big Self is so satisfying and feels so right that in the end it wins out. The small self gradually sees success in this new mode of operation. Things get done, people we are responsible for get handled, we continue to make a living all without a formal plan, somehow almost by itself. This gives us confidence to let go even more.

After sometime of functioning like this the gap between the big Self and the small self starts to close and we slowly begin to recognize a change. We start to appreciate the phenomenal world and the value of our involvement in that world. And through this subtle bond of acceptance and harmony, love begins to blossom. This love becomes so strong that the heart begins to override the head's sense of separation to deliver us to Unity, rendering us Whole. It’s such a blissful state that everywhere we look we see heaven in all its golden essence. This golden vision echoes back our love to fill our hearts again and again in lovely waves of bliss to the point where our hearts can only open. The love pangs are almost unbearable.

There’s more but this moment is too full to not rest here for a while and allow ourselves to be washed over by it. Just fall back and enjoy. ❤️❤️❤️

Falling in love, again???

Seems like I’m falling in love with everyone and everyone is falling in love with me, perpetually. What’s happening? 

As we rise in consciousness of course our heart begins to blossom. We see and talk with others and begin to appreciate them on a more subtle level. They can see and feel that appreciation as well. Often this subtle feeling is misunderstood as personal love, but it’s not. It’s simply a deep appreciation of bliss the ananda part of sat chit ananda, experienced with someone. 

What adds to the confusion is many times lower chakras are enliven, I discuss this dynamic in my book under ‘Gut Enlightenment’. Suffices to say, this is not a personal love affair. It is beautiful and truly enjoyable but probably not really “falling in love”.

Overtime one recognizes it and gets used to it and gradually takes the wedding planner off of speed dial. However, although you become comfy with the experience the person on the other end of this relationship is usually, clueless and it’s so difficult to explain without some level of heartbreak. Every silver lining has its cloud. 

Love y’all - kind of? :)

New Heart Technique

I was exposed to a new heart technique last night. A long time friend and enlightened soul called me. He was telling me about a technique he got from Jan Esmann, an enlightened Danish author, who I mention in my book as a Shakti Master. The technique goes something like this. 

Sitting in a settled state perhaps after some moments of meditation, allow love to radiate out from the heart. At the same time allow love from your expanded universe to flow in to your heart. Both of these flows are to be experienced simultaneously. 

At first it was difficult to conceptualize until I mentally particalized love. Love, now in these tiny little lively particles, could now be experienced as flowing from the heart and the outer universal love to the heart simultaneously. I positioned awareness in my heart so the experience maintained a personal flavor. Then I simply rested there and enjoyed the show. 

The two opposing flows served to tickle the heart as the bliss grew. Of course, I’ve experienced heart bliss before but this was a more detailed and richer feeling of love and the love was more lively. 

Give it a try. Perhaps with a friend.
