My Soul Impulse: A Simple Self-Inquirer!

Be still and listen. Inspiring #quotes and #affirmations by Calm Down Now, an empowering mobile app for overcoming anxiety. For iOS: http://cal.ms/1mtzooS For Android: http://cal.ms/NaXUeo:
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 than anything else. 

When I don't practice inquiry, my circumstances engulf me. Some people feel I "think" too much because it appears that way, but really, all I am doing is trying to make sense of everything and everyone that comes into my field of vision and beyond. When I do, I am able to see with clearer eyes.  

Inquiring into myself has been a very big deal - it has given me courage and strength to say a clear "NO" to what feels not okay for me any longer. I get myself into a lot of problems when I am dealing with a present day situation expecting a perfect scenario.  I noticed most people have not really changed their concepts and beliefs from 30-40 years ago. They don't budge an inch in their views and infact they go out of their way to change mine!! And I do, actually - I do.  When I do, I see very clearly how I need to move out of the arena because the energy feels too alien to me now.

I continue to look for creative ways to practice self inquiry and share with anyone who is interested in any way.

What I know for sure now is that you cannot argue with God, Reality, Whatever Name you wish to call Spirit .... You will not get far with resistance.  The best thing ever to do is to ACCEPT and SURRENDER because only The Higher Self knows what we, humans do not.

Namaste!

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
