    In some way this should be a comment to your post below. It was intended to be so, but I'm still figuring out how to navigate the pages here.

About my teachers, my practice and early life

  My first memory in life was when I was in a crib. I felt bewildered because I came from a place  where my mind was fluid, clear, pointed, being able to move from one thing to the next and grasping the whole to the innermost part of everything truly seeing into the moment. I felt as though someone had shoved me into this tiny body that I did not understand how to work. It was such a contrast to what I had previously known. I was in fact an infant trying to figure out how to use my body. I threw a temper tantrum at the end of the memory being frustrated by my circumstances.  My early years were guided and as I opened up, the spirits would guide me with simple gestures, images, words and visions. The most important thing of all they guided me through a state of mind I call play. Always accompanied by beauty, effortless thought, luminous light and clear sound. I was never frightened or felt uncomfortable; everything seemed effortless and natural. There was no fear. The spir...

Transformation of Soul (the original)

Transformation of Soul (the original) If you wish to see yourself in a different light, and want to change your way of looking at yourself, in relation to the universe. Then instead of looking outside, you turned and looked within. What can be seen there, and how would one come to see it, and if seen by what light?

You come to see the universe within by the mind's eye, and that in which it sees, is of mind. The mind's eye is not different from our physical eyes, in the sense that the eye within, functions in the same way ...

Transitions

Transitions In order to move your soul from your everyday world to heightened states of awareness your soul goes through transitions.  In order to see what I mean we need to take a trip through transitions in order to move from our everyday world to waking into heightened states of awareness. So let’s start with Plato’s, Meno 81c : “For since all nature is akin, and the soul has learnt everything, there is nothing to hinder a man, remembering one thing only-which men call learning-from himself finding out all else, if he is brave and does not weary in seeking; for seeking and learning is all remembrance.” Interesting point that everything can be found within ourselves. You need to look nowhere but within. Given seeking and learning are all remembrance. No need to go anywhere, simply look within for the answers. So this is where we start within. So how do we start and where do we look for our guide? For this one let us take a look at Plato’s, Phaedo 108e : “I am persuaded, therefore...
