Living from within

I am speaking of the state of mind I have always strived to obtain.  The state of giving oneself to the utter joy of the moment, letting go of everything and resting in the moment of quiet giving oneself up to the beauty found within. Letting go and flowing out of the body upon one’s breath to the sheer beauty of the moment.  The state of mind I refer to as play because on this level everything is filled with the sheer joy of the moment.  No expectations just letting everything drop away and being with what ever is present and rejoicing in the present moment.  An actual childhood experience “the sun sifting through the tree and feeling the warmth of the sun alternating with the shade of the air moving the leaves back and forth, just setting in the moment truly experiencing life’s joys.”

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? The what is the realm of mind, the how is by the mind's eye, and the light is that of the intellect. Am I going too fast?  Let's take a step back and review what I am saying. Would you not agree  when you open your eyes, and look toward what is exterior to you, you perceive the physical universe? Equally so, when you turn to that which is not exterior to you, and turn, see and look within, how does one come to see it? Just what is this universe within? 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...
