People who had found the true meaning of life should not remain silent - though it may feel more comfortable to do so.
The real beauty of realizing your true nature is in the freshness,
peace and deep bodily relaxation which touches to the core of
your being, flows into your everyday life and bursts forth naturally
into blossoming from within itself. Without you 'doing' a thing
about any of it.
This is a beautiful and simple change of lifestyle.
A lifestyle of letting go and living openhandedly, curled
up in the sunlit warmth on the lap of
the Divine (your heart)
But coming home that day, walking downhill with a panorama of valley and hills before me, I turned my gaze inward, and what I saw, stopped me in my tracks. Instead of the usual unlocalized centre of myself, there was nothing there, it was empty, and at the moment of seeing this there was a flood of quiet joy and I knew, finally I knew what was missing-it was my "self".
The truth is, you already are, it is finished.
It is absolutely and totally possible, and freely available, to step out of this limitation of the Self and rest as your true nature right now.
"Prepare, and be forewarned in time. If thou hast tried and failed, O dauntless fighter, yet lose not courage: fight on, and to the charge return again and yet again...
Remember, thou that fightest for man's liberation, each failure is success, and each sincere attempt wins its rewards in time."
There are many people who reach their conclusions about life like schoolboys: they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a book without having worked the sum out for themselves.
Every single person became anything, believed that they could.
Every single person who never became anything believed that they couldn't.
Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in his protection, His
justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, and His Omnipresence... To be
fit for Self-realization man must be fearless.
Always, a form of self-equilibration, a soul or psyche, is trying to assert itself, to continue the melody of its self-realized life.
"I am part of an ancient tradition, a tradition that has had in its hands the technology for awakening and transformation. This ancient order, if you will, comes out of hiding for brief moments in time and then goes to the underground again. I have been given only a few years to open the doors to this knowledge and we're about to close the doors. Before we close the doors, I want to make this technology for self-realization available.
Now everybody around you is asleep, living a life that is mechanical, surrounded by fears, habits, and unconscious tendencies. We cannot be free to do our Will when we are under the influence of the sleep of the massess. We can teach people the practical methods for awakening, for attaining one's Will, one's goals, the technology for living a conscious life. I believe that in six months we can teach them to awaken the machine at will and live the type of life they want to live."
Self-realization means that we have been consciously connected withour source of being. Once we have made this connection, then nothing can go wrong...
When you can see through the mist of Maya to the Self, that mist has not disappeared. You have just learned to see through it. "
Your unrest is the last cramp in your legs as you climb this mountain. Rest awhile, if you like.
But do not return to your old house. It is not your home any longer.
My face set to a grim and determined expression. I speak in all modesty as I say this, but I discovered at that moment that I have a fierce will to live. It's not something evident, in my experience. Some of us give up on life with only a resigned sigh. Others fight a little, then lose hope. Still others--and I am one of those-- never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end. It's not a question of courage. It's something constitutional, an inability to let go. It maybe nothing more than life-hungry stupidity.
Heaven on earth is happening simultaneously with the way our lives are showing up, right now in this moment. The trick is to be able to access this coexisting state, day in, day out, moment-by-moment, not just when in pleasant, ideal circumstances.
Accepting, allowing and interacting with your life as though it is exactly as it should be, without making yourself wrong (or right) for what you discover is it the way to Self-Realization. ~ Arial Kane
