reflections on the path

"Standing on the bare ground, ...  my head bathed by the blithe air,  and uplifted into infinite space, ...  all mean egotism vanishes.  I become a transparent eye-ball;  I am nothing; I see all;  the currents of the  Universal Being circulate through me;  I am part or particle of God." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Peace is something every single human being strives for.  Therin lies the confusion.  The things that are of heaven need not be striven for. No effort is required; only a quiet willingness to "become" in our minds what we already are in The Divine Universal Mind: Eternal. Everlasting. Blissful.  For the first time, ever, I am feeling truly peaceful within. There's a sense of calm that has settled down in the pit of my stomach. It was there that all the rumblings of powerlessness and pain seemed to exist. I have given up the fight to "be" anything.  I have accepted everything about my Life exactly as it is. I have been engaged in deep self inquiry for some years now, refining the quality of questions in my mind, and it feels like the main big obstacles about my past has melted away and I have stopped feeling limited by my past stories. I am not that person anymore. Where did that person go? I don't know. I just "queried" her away. She has gone

There are many ways to ask God who He is, and who am I?   I refer to God as "He" and "She" variously only because it has become a habit to do so.  When I am resting in truly honest moments, I cannot visualize a gender based God at all as much as I try. Neither am I one of those people who sees God, Angels, visions and colors and dreams vividly.  Infact, I am least of the fancy spiritualists who believe they see many "wondrous" things.  And most of all, I am someone who does'nt accept someone else's version of truth as mine. I am an Explorer of Truth and a simple Self Inquirer. I constantly keep questioning and inquiring into everything that comes before me. I appreciate all the inputs that comes from various sources, but at the end of the day, it is my own understanding I rely on. No experience can ever be wrong.  If one examines one's thoughts, one will find that one has received exactly as one has desired, felt and dreamed of more

There are only two occasions in my life that I love to celebrate -  My Birthday and Friendship Day. I have been choosing my own "family" my entire life.  They are called Friends.  I gathered them along the way.  Like a string of Cosmic Pearls. They opened my heart wide to love and be loved  Each came with a Gift according to the calling of my Soul. Everyone comes with a purpose. Everyone leaves on purpose  Some are Forever Friends. They always find their way back to you. They grow with you and they become like your  most cherished and favourite soft blanket. My closest Friends are few. I would love to gather more. Relationships without the fragrance and blend of Friendships are dry. There is always that teeny, tiny piece missing -  Like grandma's secret ingredient to her most famous family recipe!! No matter what relationship I share with another,  Friendship is an important factor for me Some Souls understand this
