Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it ~Rumi
I believe that we are all born with a very clear message and journey, the purpose of which is to know separation from unity in order to reconnect with, and acknowledge the true depths of unity and to relay that experience. In the beginning consciousness was One but one could not experience itself as being separate from the whole, and so it become the separate conscious souls in human form in order to understand this experience. We experience distractions to our mind, our mental facility through the “consciousness limited” view of the mental mind.
The conscious mind is consciously limited. It is the rational mind. And cannot comprehend the infinite. It needs to be this way. Because it is what creates boundaries around concept that we can attach labels to and give meaning to. And this is also what created all of our belief systems (and all of our internal conflicts too, it must be said).
The mental mind is the mind of the etheric plane. So we are familiar with the concept of the Body – Mind – Soul. This is an analogy to Matter – Aether – Energy.
Body > Mind > Soul = Matter > Aether > Energy
Here I will intertwine ether and aether, I mix them up sometimes, but I like the mixup because the Internet is build on the Ethernet, and Social Media frameworks like twitter are the medium of the Aether, the medium of the mind.
So the “consciousness limited” view of reality is called Maya, it is the illusion that in this unbounded ocean of eternity, that the ripple of a teardrop that is the birth of a soul-human is someone separate from the rest. It’s not, so we get distracted. lost in the Maya.
Many, many distractions : that mental chatter, and emotions that we try to rationalize and thus creates our belief systems, and all of this is related to how the pituitary gland, radiates and transmits and receives subtle message from the universe – in a kind of perpetual wave of electromagnetic interference like the distraction of the tides constantly pulling on the sands of the shore.
So, to conclude. my belief is that you are no different to anyone else in terms of your journey, but the choices that fell your way give you a massive head start on everyone else.. I know this because you’re still reading this. To read this far is to be aware of the consequence of this understand.
I’m not saying you need to do yoga. Do what ever you want. It actually doesn’t matter what you do.. as long as you have tools to quieten the mind and connect with your soul. Yoga calms the mind, and helps find that place of balance inside. When combined with meditation and done early in the morning when the sun rises over the horizon, the mind is at it quietest, and the pituitary receives the most subtle signals from the soul and from the universe (the big soul)
We call that “listening to your heart”. Your heart and soul are so inter twined that when we experience soul consciousness, we have a full open heart and connect with all, and it’s a powerful healing state to be in.
So, it’s important now to find this place of soul consciousness. Because we are now in a dessert, and this place of stillness is like water in the desert. People are thirsty, and are still looking answers with the world outside. Pills and prescriptions, drink and drugs, sexual gratification and perversions everywhere. Where is the compassion? The caring? The healing? Why do you think there is so much Cancer in the world? Do you really think it’s because the body is broken? Connect to this place of stillness so you can heal others, just by your presence and by you way.
My most secret weapon is Sadhana. It’s seen as a Sikh practice nowadays, but it’s not. it’s a 5000 year old yogic tradition. I’ve written about it here. Just doing yoga won’t do it unless there is a practice of connecting with the heart, and the soul.
The problem is the Ego. The Ego is not a problem in itself, it’s the insanity of the ego. Ego in Sanskrit mean “separate from the whole”. So the insanity of the ego comes from the view that “I’m brilliant, I can do this myself, I don’t need help from anyone else” or a big problem in business today : “I know how to be successful, but it’s a secret, so if you give me lots of money I’ll show you how to be like me” instead of the non-ego, heart centric approach which might be “I have learned a very beautiful way to live my life and to find happiness and love in every aspect of my day and night from sweeping the floors to watching a bud on a cherry tree unfold in spring. If this resonates with you, I am willing to share all I know, so we can both experience this together”. 1st is ego, 2nd is soul.
