My Path*My Prayer*My Self-Culture*Who I Am

This short bio was written years ago,
I would not say some of it
the same way with the same format,
but I will leave it stand
the way it is.

The purpose of creation is to go from two to one. Two implies a sense of separation. Separation which is painful, hence love seeks to become one. The nature of love is to unite, to become one. Sri Sri

Nothing Is True But Love

Just in proportion as we knock,
shall it be opened unto us,
and in proportion to our seeking
shall we find.
Seek and you will find has been the
promise, but if you are not hungry,
if you think you have already found,
you will never reach your hand toward mine.
There is, of course,
an indescribable difference
between knowing me
and just knowing about me,
as you will shortly realize
if you continue your efforts to live upward.
St. Ignatius says that, a single hour of
meditation has taught him more truths about
heavenly things than all the teachings of all
the doctors put together could have taught him.
Meditate: Meditation is the door to the realm of
the Soul, and inspiration is the way. The begin-
ning of our new birth, life begins to have a new
meaning, the exploration awaiting you is a
fascinating joyous, rewarding experience, an
adventure that must be kept as an adventure.
Develop intuition, sit quietly with a "listening"
ear, and learn to wait for the "still small voice"
of your indwelling consciousness at the core of
your being, who will redirects you when you
wander, perfection is waiting for you everywhere.
Turn to me in faith and let me reveal it to you and
enter into your natural habitat.
You shall only rest perfectly in Me, and in the
sure knowing that I am the real you.
If you go back to thinking you cannot know me
until after death, you are likely to wait until after
death to feel anything about me at all, especially
if you have been deceived into believing that your
soul's future is secured through membership in
some church.
It is only as we continue in our spiritual studies and
meditation that we eventually become aware of an
inner conflict. We enjoy moments of mountain
experiences; we tumble unto the valley of uncertainty;
we achieve victories and then experience failure; we
alternate between apparent good and evil, success and
failure, spirituality and mortality. This is the inner
conflict that becomes evident as the warfare between
the flesh and the Spirit. This will only end as we drop
the mortal or corporeal sense and achieve the
consciousness of spiritual existence.
We are now finding less of self in our existence and
thereby making room for the revelation and unfoldment
of our divine Self. In this Self, we discover our
completeness and the infinity of our being. Here also we
discover the reason for our existence.
Trust God, everything you need will come to you at the
perfect time.
Go now into Love -
Love beyond thought,
beyond feeling,
beyond cause and effect.
In this Ever-Present Love,
the Supreme Essence redeems
all that has gone before.

Spiritual Practice Is The Answer:

Be very very still - and practice
the long-lost art of "listening."
Sometimes the footing may be
upset, but high-level footing can
be regained through quietness,
faith, and confidence. Hell is within
you just as surely as is heaven.
Hell is the realm of the independent
surface mind. Conscience does not
condemn you for the mistakes you
make, it merely helps you find the
way again. Give thanks for this.
Learn to master the surface mind.
Relinquish the customary attitudes
and old habits of fear doubting
worry frustration and judging by
appearances and fill your heart with
a new song, and open the Doorway
of a new dimension.
Understanding must come before genuine
love, Love as you have never known it
or imagined it to be. The day will come
when the Door is opened and its threshold
is repeatedly crossed, sometimes the footing
may be upset, it will not be easy, and will
need constant effort; and your sins along the
way are forgiven instantly. Until you reach the
surface, learn to control the random mixtures of
your thoughts. You should be glad to let those
threadbare opinions fall away for the sake of
something better. They are the same opinions,
with variations here and there, that have been
clung to, passed around, and handed down from
generation to generation without much added
enlightenment. One of the powers contained in
your sunken treasure chest is the power to quicken
and perfect, and will has been released and augmented
by the Light of Holy Spirit, your surface mind will
eventually be put to shame. As soon as your
reoriented surface mind sets up the right conditions,
you shall be filled with full measure of peace and
this Holy Spirit that will open up for you the Doorway
of a new dimension. "He who loses his life for my
sake shall find it." You will be richly rewarded if
you can cast away old patterns of thought and old
habits of doubt. God erected no formidable partitions
to keep human nature separated from divine nature.
For this reason, the dividing barrier is unreal, it is
non-existent, it appears to be there only because
you are living in an prefabricated illusion, a form of
mass-hypnosis in this limited world is in effect. - Move and breathe with
equanimity. Watch your words and talk less and less.
Be still before you speak or act. Awaken this day to
your Living Breathing Divine Self. Know that the Divine
is All-Powerful and it rests with man to gain his own
Eternal Self, and also know,
you Cannot Get Away From Evil:
This world is a strange world.
We have to learn many lessons.
Many obstacles will come to the
growing aspirant at every step.
Do not be agitated by little things.
Don't worry about little things.
God is preparing you in a variety of ways.
Feel this. Be grateful to the Lord.
All of us grow by committing mistakes and
blunders. You must forget the past entirely.

Realize that ending the ego is the only truly
worthwhile event that can happen in a human life.

A mind that has become no mind, and has come back to its source, is meditation.
To whatever degree we are alert, aware, to that degree we are living.
Then what is needed?
Distrust your mind, and go beyond.
What shall I find beyond the mind?
The direct experience of being, knowing and loving.
*
Free yourself from the crocodile of desires. Do not be disheartened. Cheer yourself up. Stand like a lion. Destroy the impure mind with the pure mind. Make friends with the pure mind and rest peacefully in the True Self/Soul.

THE INNER BATTLE:
The soldier fights for a few hours only,
But the aspirant's battle goes on day and night.
It is verily a hard battle, a fierce battle
And it lasts till the end of his life.
This battle is raging in the field of the mind.
Purity fights with impurity and inertia,
Higher mind wages war with the lower mind.
Contentment fights with greed,
Patience fights with anger.
Celibacy fights with lust,
Humility fights with pride.
Fight, my brother, valiantly.
Raise the sword of the Divine Name.
