 Into the Void and Out the Other Side Where do I go when I am not "me"? Is there a place, a form, a singularity in which there is Nothing? Can we ponder the imponderables and still maintain our sanity as defined by the society we live in? The modern mystic cannot escape to a cave in the Himalayas, or an island where society doesn't intrude. We are part of a multidimensional fabric of Life that exists everywhere, in all manner of forms and with a consciousness that allows for Life to Be. Become aware, in the stillness of meditation, of the vast possibilities of the Self that you are. You are but a small fraction of the totality of your Beingness as a human on this planet. Think upon that.

Into the All  Where does the "I" go during meditation? What is this I, me, my? Is this you?  Where does this part of you disappear to when you go deep within? The self no longer matters. The ego, the "I" is sublimated, it is set aside, allowing the real essence of who and what you are to arise and it overrides your human identity. You are a part of the Infinite, expanding consciousness that exists everywhere.  Meditation is a very freeing sensation because it allows you to be unfettered, for a few minutes, by the body, the mind and the constraints imposed upon as us citizens of planet Earth.  We play at being human beings, but this is not what we really are. Allow yourself to taste the Infinite beauty and Reality that exists beyond your senses. Go deep within and soar! Feel that peace. It begins with YOU. You are Spirit. You are the Essence of the Infinite Consciousness of All that IS. Peace on Earth begins with YOU. Namaste!

What is My Purpose?

  I often hear the question: Am I doing what I am supposed to be doing? What is my purpose in life? Know that whatever it is you're doing, that is what you are meant to be doing! Our human nature and ego demands that be "worthy", that we should be busy doing things. It is a concept ingrained in us from the day we start school. We are conditioned to believe we should be making a lot of money, and that success means a great shiny car and a great shiny house filled with the latest stuff the current favorite "influencer" recommends. When we incarnate into human bodies, we are shrouded in a veil of forgetfulness. We are given a blank slate to experience life in order to live our lives as ego-driven humans. We are presented with choices every step of the way and we are allowed to make mistakes because we learn from our life lessons.  I have always loved this poem by the 17th Century poet, John Milton. Sonnet 19:  When I consider how my light is spent When I consider h...

 Wisdom and Thoughts Many Paths We are One. Regardless of who we choose to worship, regardless of where we come from or what ethnicity we are, ponder this: The Infinite Consciousness that pervades all, is in everything, it is everywhere. Nothing exists outside or independently of it. We may steer our ship in a certain direction, a direction that is different to the commonly-held beliefs of the society we live in, but it will nonetheless take you to your end destination. When you take a walk outside, allow yourself to feel and experience the beauty of the world we live in. Make this your meditation: appreciation and gratitude for Creation. Go inward, feel Love cascade forth within your Being. Expand that Love to encompass everything. Know that your vibratory signature will attract those who resonate with you. You will learn and grow from many teachers. Every human encounter offers a chance to grow in spirit. You are Loved! Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@_stil...
