When God is your companion
When God is your companion
there is the feeling of constant happiness
constant fulfillment
constant bliss
peace
joy
It is as if every moment is a peak moment
there is no need to get anything
or go anywhere
or do anything in particular
You can be doing the most ordinary task
and yet
You are flying with happiness in your heart and mind
Where there is remembrance of God, there is remembrance of the self
There is the easiness of the soul-conscious stage
And only flowers of happiness and beauty can exist
This is what is means to be a Lighthouse.
Om shanti.
Keeping your Connection
Keeping your Connection
even when the myriad of ways
come to break it
Staying connected to the Higher Power
the Ocean of Bliss
creates constant contentment
And so
even when you feel unwell, or there are situations
or challenges, etc.
This is the time to be extra aware of keeping your Connection
to the Remover of Sorrow, Destroyer of Obstacles
The Bestower of Happiness
for all
Remind the self:
I am a soul, free from this body and bodily situations
I am a child of the Supreme
an ocean of peace
of The Ocean of Peace
I am free
Feel the lightness and joy
And keep staying with this
Flying beyond all obstacles
in the intoxicating Love
of the One.
Om shanti
May you be free from all obstacles,
and fly free with your heart linked in Remembrance
of the Supreme.
Let your heart stay in Remembrance
May your hands do the work,
while your heart stays in Remembrance
The easy way to overcome challenges and old patterns
is to stay linked with the One in your heart
to remain absorbed in the Love of the Divine
feeling, “I, the soul, am connected to my Beloved Companion”
“I am recharging the battery of my being with this One’s power”
We are influenced by the company we keep
and so
Why not keep the Highest Company, of the one who is completely soul-conscious
who is the embodiment of bliss, Sat Chit Ananda
This one is our Spiritual Parent and Friend
Who is ever Pure
May you stay in Remembrance
and let the fire of pure Love fill you
completely
so that all concern, worry, negativity
is burnt away for good
and, you, the soul, fly free
in your original state of peace
purity
love
bliss
and power.
Om shanti.
Demystifying the Spiritual Path
I just recently got off a group mentoring call
with a very spiritually-dedicated group of souls
Something really important came up
that comes up again and again…
Much of the work I find myself and Michael doing
is in supporting the detox of harmful new age and self-help concepts
out of soul’s heads and hearts
There are many confusing and conflicting messages floating around
and so I found myself sharing this morning, and again and again…
It comes down to this,
the essence of the spiritual or religious path:
Who am I?
and
Who do I belong to?
Self and God
Ask yourself,
Is this practice or philosophy bringing me closer to knowing myself, and closer in my reconnection to God?
Or is it diffusing my awareness and connection?
Much of the confusion lies around the philosophies that,
“God is in all things. God is everything. I am God.”
Yet, when sages or teachers of the past have said this,
They were actually describing a very high level of consciousness
in which they were describing experiencing the constant company and presence of God
leading them to say things like, “God is in everything”
This is an elevated level of consciousness, though, not an actuality to be taken literally
God (the Divine, Spirit) is not in the trees, cats and dogs, table, dirt, rocks, you, me etc.
If this were true, why then, would you pray to God. If you are God, and God is in all things,
why my friend are you doing spiritual practice or prayer at all? And why my friend would you say the world is in the darkness it’s in?
This is all a result of forgetting, a grand manifestation of the human ego, is the reason for the darkness
This world here is the realm of matter, the physical elements. We, and God, are made of consciousness, of love, peace and bliss. It isn’t that we are the same, or that God is the same, as the material world, but rather, this is the field of action, we are the actors, God is the Director – the One beckoning us to now come back Home, return to our natural state, remember who we are. We’ve become grossly identified with matter, yet, we are light, God is light.
God is our Friend, Helper and Guide
This is the Supreme Soul, the One, who does not incarnate as we do and get caught up in the ‘movie’ of life
God is the Parent – the Divine Mother and Father, who is here for us children, holding the pure consciousness of Truth, so that in that One’s Remembrance
We may find our way back to ourselves, back to our Truth, back Home.
We take this One’s help to remember who we are
Individual souls, all part of a big family, brothers and sisters belonging to the One, spiritual beings created in the image of that One
And so, if you are caught in the spinning or circus of the new age roller coaster
And find yourself feeling very unstable and emotional
I tell you this, from the depths of my heart:
Remember only this: Who am I? Who do I belong to?
Self
and
God, the Divine
Anything or anyone that leads you farther away from this spiritual core and power
Have the courage to let go
Have the courage to come back inside yourself
to remember who you are and reestablish your connection and relationship with the One, Divine, God, Ocean of Love (whichever name you love for this Being)
For only in this,
is there Peace.
“Consider yourself to be a soul, and Remember Me alone”
is that One’s guidance for our returning to Peace.
We cannot return to our natural state with the help of other human beings, but rather, we must take the help, of a Higher Power.
Om shanti.
Turn your mind towards the Light
Turn your mind towards God’s light
and feel the Peace come over you
That One is known as, the Friend of the mind
Because when we bring our mind to the Divine
to the Ocean of Love, Peace and Purity
We feel happy. 🙂
Om shanti.
Blessings of peace
The Supreme gives blessings of peace
in all directions
It just takes a moment of quiet
to perceive that One’s subtle vibrations
in the atmosphere
right now
Take a moment
with a deep breath
and become aware of the subtle dimension of light
from which that One shines endless blessings
upon us souls
We are given all we need
to overcome every obstacle, challenge or worry
Let the light come over you
like a warm golden sunshine
and become free
become light
become completely full of peace
sat chit ananda
that One is
the living blissful Truth
you are that One’s child.
Om shanti.
The Sun of Compassion
Compassion is like a sun
It gives light
and more light
and more light
no matter what
completely unconditionally
The sun doesn’t decide to shine brighter for some
and less for others –
but rather
the sun shines equally for all
regardless of any conditions
the sun is unconditionally compassionate
and that’s what true compassion is –
unconditional
without boundary or edge
without contraction or judgment
Compassion is a life-giving sun
that shines irrespective of conditions
equally on all
Fill your heart with compassion
and let yourself be absorbed in love
shining light and peace
for all
upon all.
Om shanti.
The fire of Spiritual Love
Surrendering
at great depths
is like melting into Love
Spiritual Love
it’s as if all the holding-onto
of lower consciousness
is melted in the fire of Love
Love is indeed the fire
that will purify
I once heard “when humanity comes to know the second fire”…
referring to, this time…
the fire of love
there will be the greatest transformation
The fire of love melts all hate
melts all negativity
melts all judgement
melts all fear
The fire of love is an all-encompassing force
that has the power to
purify and transform
everything
into
love
into
truth.
Om shanti.
Roses and the Fragrance of Pure Thoughts
I’ve had roses on my desk for the past few days
Well, actually, I’ve taken them next to my bed at night too
The fragrance of these roses is so lovely
they naturally emanate pure beauty
I’ve always found it interesting that roses have thorns
though I also recognize the symbolism
for us as spiritual beings
to flourish with our beauty and truth
to emit the fragrance of pure thoughts
and good wishes for all
to inspire and bless
and to also be strong
I heard once from a spiritual teacher
to be ‘beautiful and dangerous’
though I don’t think we need even an ounce of bitterness or sharpness
to do so
I think we can be unshakeable in who we are
emanating pure beauty
and strength all at once
I think the rose does this
in it’s own kind of way
and we do this
in our own kind of way.
Om shanti.

Just take My hand
“Just take My hand
and hold on
Use My strength
and move on”
I heard this beautiful commentary in a guided meditation yesterday
Referring to the most precious relationship we have – with the One
It’s a theme I’ve been feeling to write on
This feeling of being held by God’s loving hand
… and to be lifted up
This sacred relationship embraces us through all of eternity
Whether we are aware of it or not
It’s one just a moment away
Take a moment now…
to feel held by that One’s love…
You are never alone
You are never unloved
You are always
forever
loved and embraced
let in that One’s love
and take that One’s hand
Hold on
Use that One’s strength
and move on
from anything troubling you
Let yourself be filled with strength
love
and power
and become free.
Om shanti.
