reflections on the path

A few months ago, I came to a sudden awakening to the fact that my dominant vibration was grief and sadness. That came as a huge surprise because all along I was focused only on "anger" as the most problematic aspect in me. Many people kept harping on that as my biggest problem, so I just assumed they must be right. Funny, but I always thought of sadness and grief related mostly to death (conditioned thinking) and since no one's death has influenced me to the point of inner disturbance, it never crossed my mind. On looking back, I see now my brooding and tear faced images of which there are millions, looming large in my mind's eye. I was sad all my life and I did'nt even know it! It influenced my life so deeply yet I was ignorant and clueless about it.  It is scary how we can go through an entire lifetime so clueless about ourselves.  I believe my real change started when this epiphany struck me like a bolt of lightening.  Since then much has happened.  To...

Rameswaram, South India This Blog is dedicated to my dear friend Chotty's beloved Brother-in-law, Arup Banerjee, a Shining Bright Star, who recently passed on to his True Home, his lovely wife Sherin, whom I have not yet met but heard so much about, to Chotty and her wonderful and generous family. May each of You feel the Presence of Spirit as deeply as possible as you live through this experience of loss and grief. And so it is. My Friend and I recently returned from an incredible and metamorphic holiday in South India. We came back aglow with millions of experiences of joy, happiness, laughter, simple annoyances, a few ups and downs, forgiveness stories, long philosophical and spiritual discussions, lots of good food, plenty of beautiful people, (and not-so-beautiful ones too), different cultures, sunshine, cold and rain and, most important, an uncertain reality of pending death .... basically living the whole gamut of an  ideal normal life  to its fullest, su...

"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 ...

WHO AM I? Just a traveller walking within looking for new horizons daring to explore unchartered territories of the Soul. I am not in a hurry because I understand the value of an "eternity" based mind. When I am not in a hurry I can stop and say to someone - anyone - SHINE ON PASSER-BY! When I am at ease Everything is just Perfect. Exactly As It Is. ~~~

"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...
