Neither This Nor That

“Anyone who has ever been the means of a spiritual healing knows that this is true and that his individual mind, as it is imbued with Truth, becomes a law of renewal, regeneration, or reformation expressing as physical, mental, moral, or financial healing to those who come to him.

As troubled people bring their problems to us, if we are able to see the person or condition as neither good nor evil, sick nor well, rich nor poor, that is, see him without judgment, we then no longer have a carnal mind, but are in full possession of the mind which was in Christ Jesus — a mind which recognizes only one power, an unconditioned mind — and it dispels the illusions of sense. We do not have to get rid of or overcome the carnal mind; we do not have to destroy it: We only have to understand that our mind is a perfect instrument for the Soul, and this it becomes as we fill our mind with spiritual truth and grace.

September: A New Dawn

Image
"Welcome to September! I feel that this should be displayed with flashing lights because after the intense energy of the past few months this month will come as a welcome relief. This month’s theme is ‘A New Dawn’ and it is action packed with lots of energy activity, it’s all geared towards forward movement, with less of the hard edges that we have seen in the past few months. But this comes with conditions too because September is also a month where we will see a lot of our past coming up for review and we have to choose which path we’ll follow – the past or the future.  Remember that the dawn arrives after the darkest part of the night. I think we’ve all been through that, don’t you?  We have big choices to make this month but we get help making them in the form of very supportive energy that will allow us to see more clearly, choose more powerfully, and act with confidence. Are you ready for some action? Then you’re ready for September."   There's a whole lot more

A String of "Holy Instants"

It all finally made sense here in this heavenly, God-Awesome place called Tungnath. The unmistakable Power and Presence of God in these holiest of holy mountains has to be experienced intimately and personally. When you are so high up there, it is very easy to believe in the existence of God.  There is only God.  There is no opposing power called evil.  The concept of evil is a myth, the all time most believed illusion, and the lie that most of us are mesmerized by. Let the question then, "Who are You God. And Who Am I?" be the burning flame in my heart   till it becomes the answer that awakens me fully to this simple but the most deepest and profound Truth.  According to Wikipedia, Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world and is one of the five and the highest Panch Kedar temples located in the mountain range of Tunganath in Rudraprayag district, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.  The Tunganath (literal meaning: Lord of the peaks) mountains form the Manda

Writing, My Rite of Passage.

One cold day this last winter season as I stood on the terrace soaking up the sun, my attention was drawn to the demolition of a building right next to ours. Noise and dust pollution at its worst. The end result of all of this discomfort and hardship is going to show up as a fancy high-rise building. So, its going to end well, anyway!  This transported my mind to another kind of construction as I continued to take in at all the activity absent mindedly now: The Birth of New Soul Stories. I became excited and dreamy. I am the kind of person who sees Life as a Metaphor. I am quite convinced everything in life happening on the "outside" is a metaphor for whatever is happeing "inside". We know the world "without" is one of effect and an outpicture of what is going on "within". I could'nt help thinking "this must be reflecting my own soul work".  A deconstruction of my own false self (ego/programs) is definitely taking place.  It w
