Holding the Space for Humanity

When you die, the infinite takes whatever form you need it to take for you, a form you can accept and embrace. In my book Discovering Your Soul Signature, I said that if God is infinite, then everybody is right because the Infinite, the formless, takes the form that you love in order to greet you, meet you and welcome you back into infinity. 

This is also true with people who are alive. For example, the infinite takes the form of a person or maybe the infinite has taken the form of all of us for the same reason. The form makes the potential accessible. Everything that is unfolding has to unfold through everyone of us. We are here to hold the space for humanity. 

From the moment I was born, people have wanted me to be the reincarnation of somebody or another. Primarily because I am Indian, and I have always refuted every label and every projection because I believe it’s not about a person, it’s about you, it’s about all of us. Here’s why: I’ve seen many a person throughout history fall into this trap, and in India it’s a very common trap. You begin to access a certain consciousness or state of being and then a label is put on it: “You must be a guru”, and the second label is “you must be an avatar or a reincarnation of some being.”

People make the mistake of identifying with the first label, and if they have a following that gets big enough, then that second label isn’t too far behind. What happens next, is that they get stuck because then they have to play that role for all of the people connected with them in that way. They become trapped in the role. This is true for every author, speaker, healer, every person who is out there in the world. People are approaching them with the lens of duality. 

The acceptance of those labels is the limitation of the expression. We have to be freed of all forms of projection and realize that as individuals, it’s up to us to reject them, no matter what happens.

Peace Is A Rising Bliss

Peace has become more and more compelling. Within the experience of peace is a rising bliss. It’s like an intoxication. Even though life might be turbulent, no matter how absurd it gets, for some strange reason it just doesn’t matter. 

We are realizing more and more that it’s not worth leaving the peace that we are feeling for anything. 

Nothing in the past needs to be different, it’s all done. There is no longer any point to hold on to any emotion around any of it. Nothing in the present needs to be different than it is either. The only reason we are unable to embrace this truth is we still think something from the past should’ve been different than it was. The reason this is hard to embrace is because there is still some part of you that’s thinking or believing that the past should’ve been different than it was. 

What opens up inside of you when you allow yourself to embrace this? There is nothing we can do about our past. Nothing. It’s happened, it’s done. There is no point holding on to any emotion, feeling or thought or anything in the body related to it. The past is finished.  And in that same way, nothing that is happening right now needs to be any different either. This is where most of you get stuck. Why? Because you still think that in some way, shape or form, due to the pain or the hurt or the perceived misfortune that you experienced that the past should’ve been different than it was. 

Who you are now is not who you were. Is it possible to leave the past alone and liberate yourself from everything you are still holding on to? Allow yourself to feel into what it feels like to fully accept the past.

Propelled by the Winds of Clarity

When you are peaceful, you start to live a new version of your life.

The identity is the domain of the familiar. Your personality is the domain of the familiar. You are going to get what capacity you receive in accordance with your mind, your programming, and your conditioning. 

Peace provides you access to an infinite number of possibilities and potentials that you were always meant to align with and access. This is why so many of you are going through self-healing, eliminating all the inflammation in your body, and may now be experiencing peace consistently. And in being in that state of being, of peace, you realize everything in your life is taking off and unfolding. This is what every great being before you realized. 

This is a really exciting time. That prevailing wind we’ve been waiting for is here, that prevailing energy. You are no longer fuelled by the winds of pain, survival, scarcity, lack, self-image or distortion. You are now being propelled forward by the winds of clarity, truth. integrity, alignment, love.

When you become unrecognizable to yourself, you have fully actualized the meaning of the word transformation. Transformation is transcending the need to transform. You have an identity, you have a story, and a past, and this memory of you, but you no longer have any use for it. It’s no longer the dominant expression of your life. 

When you access the truth that you don’t know who you are, that’s when it gets really exciting!

Imagine What’s Possible For You

My reality, the entirety of my reality, has been enlisted to provide me with the evidence of my wholeness. Every single person in my life has now been enlisted with bringing me the experience of my wholeness. 

Life is showing you who you are. But most of us who have been coming to Call to Calm every morning have seen who we are. Life doesn’t have to show us our unconscious anymore because we don’t have a problem being a human being. No matter how we are showing up, we don’t invalidate ourselves anymore. We are having an experience. The sooner we accept it, and embrace it, the faster we return to peace and operate from completion. This is being in the flow, in harmony and in receiving. This is where it becomes powerful. This is why it’s magic time!

Before Merlin taught magic, he taught peace. When you look at any scripture, any path or tradition, or any great being, they all say the same thing: with peace all things become possible. When you operate from completion, you experience the highest manifestation of your life. The things that once used to be problems or issues aren’t problems or issues anymore.  

I am whole and complete and I command my entire reality to bring me the evidence of my wholeness and completion everyday. Give to the world, to your reality the totality of who you are.

Operating from Peace or Pain

Everyone on the planet is either operating from their peace or from their pain. When you trace everything you can’t stand about the world back to its origin, you’ll find pain. 

When I look at the people I grew up with, they didn’t know any better. Were they bad people? No, they just didn’t have a choice. Society wasn’t constructed for them to thrive, the system wasn’t constructed for them to get ahead. People in states of survival make choices that don’t make any sense to other people who aren’t surviving. 

Instead of using the brushstroke of bad or evil people, try seeing these people as people that are in extreme amounts of pain. That way, maybe we can lessen the sentencing of ourselves and reduce the need to sentence them. 

What we don’t realize is that everytime we judge the behavior of other people and condemn another person, we are actually just condemning ourselves. As a community, let’s have some honesty  and vulnerability and just welcome the grief that you feel you still need to hold on to in order to be safe. 

When someone pushes your ‘disrespect’ button, you can go to rage because in order to survive you’ve become what you can’t stand. In order to survive, you’ve become the very thing you hate. Some of you, in order to survive in your home, became your parents, And this is why there is no freedom. Some of you in order to survive in your family with your siblings, you became just like them, just as sharp tongued, malicious and vindictive. 

This is why we need to be with our hearts today. This is the time of the Divine Mother. Sometimes there is nothing better than a hug from your grandma, your mom or the embodiment of the Divine Mother. That’s really all we want. 

It’s time to let that love in.

Life is “Edutainment”

Life is a movie and William Shakespear was right when he wrote that all of the world is a stage and all the men and women are merely players. Writers have keen observation and they observe life. Comedians do the same, observing human behavior. 

The more I love myself, the less I want to hang out with people. There are people that are just funny and hanging out with them makes you laugh and it’s a good time. Other people are always upset, something is always wrong and it becomes a lot of mood managing and ego massaging. It’s enough that we are dealing with ourselves and not everyone else in our lives. 

It’s time to realize that hanging out with yourself is really, really cool. It’s the best thing ever. Yes, this loneliness thing can become a thing as long as you are egoically defined and looking to other people for things. But after a while you get to a place where you just love hanging out with yourself, enjoying your own company. 

Appreciate the absolute blessing and miracle that everybody is and for their unique flavor of humanity that they bring into your life. This is how you develop your sense of humor. Life then becomes “edutainment”.  It’s only an issue if you are trying to fix it, heal it or change it. 

If you just let people be who they are, it’s very liberating.

In Oneness Life Is How Your Are

The majority of you who have been with me on the Call to Calm Meditation every morning, are finally out of survival. Some of you left relationships with narcissists where they didn’t have anything to do with you, you were roommates with no intimacy, no connection. 

Through your recalibration to peace, you have begun to open up to receiving, to harmony and you are on your way to complete conscious manifestation of your reality. However, the key is to not get stuck along the way. 

Once you are out of survival, don’t jump on the first bus that comes along. Sometimes you have to wait for a manifestation to occur. And you need to have the capacity to delay your gratification. This means you have to stay true to who you are, know your value and powerfully advocate on behalf of yourself at all costs.

Some of you accept what comes along because you feel like you are a desert that hasn’t been rained on for a long time and so you are just grateful for the attention and the validation of who you are.  But while you are in this in-between stage, when people show up, they are not your final destination in life. We haven’t come this far to just settle. You don’t go through the upheaval of beginning your evolutionary journey to only stop half way. Get to clarity soon and faster.

Everything On The Planet Is Working

Everything is working. Irrespective of how you feel about it, or what your opinion is on it, everything is working. Your life is working . . . you’re alive! Our collective evolution is working . . . we’re alive! Everything on the planet is working . . . everything is alive.

Life is fulfilling its promise to you. But beyond keeping you alive, life doesn’t owe you anything else. That means that everything that happens today, beyond what life is supposed to do, which is to keep you alive, is a bonus .

Whenever there is an inefficiency, when something isn’t quite flowing or isn’t advocating on the behalf of all of us, there is a shake-out and then an innovation.  A more equitable way of being appears for everyone. 

Evolution isn’t something you have to do or give your attention towards. It’s happening. The only thing you need to focus on is being grateful. I don’t know about you, but I wake up grateful every morning, first, I am grateful for the fact I got up! I don’t take that for granted anymore. Everything that follows the gift of me waking up, is just a bonus. Every second, every minute, every hour, every breath is a bonus. 

Because we think that life, creation, the universe owes us something, we don’t foundationally live with the understanding that our life is a bonus. Life, the universe, creation doesn’t owe you anything. It’s fulfilling its promise to you, it’s keeping you alive. 

The question is: What are you going to do with your life?

Being A Human Being is Compassion

You came here to be a human being. This means you came here to have the experience of being human. Why? You have to ask yourself “why as this infinite consciousness have I chosen at this time to be a human being?”

When you look around, humanity has forgotten its essential nature. We’ve forgotten who and what we truly are. You are here as an act of service, love and compassion. Being a human being is compassion. You come here from infinite source energy and potential and then you forget everything because you can’t hold on to the vastness of who you are in the limitations of your human form – especially human survival. 

Being a human being is an act of compassion. But what you have forgotten is that compassion has to start with yourselves. You see, you are not compassionate with yourself, your body, or your mind. You’re not compassionate with your identity,  your emotions, your behaviors, your characteristics. You are not compassionate with you. This is the part that needs to shift. 

We don’t have to fix it. We don’t have to heal it. We don’t have to change it. We don’t have to improve it. This is just about meeting your humanity with compassion. Meeting your anger with compassion, meeting your sadness with compassion and meeting fear with compassion. We don’t have to get rid of it. 

Until we can extend compassion towards ourselves, the world will never know it.

Life Needs To Keep Us Humble

We all need something to keep us humble. Everybody needs to struggle somewhere, and that’s a good thing because it reminds you why you are here and that we are all in it together. That’s why life is the way it is. Plus, we are human. Isn’t it beautiful being a human being?

Freedom is showing up who you are and going through everything and not needing to hide anything. That’s freedom. The day I can’t be myself is the day I stop showing up. Had I not gone through everything I’ve gone through in life, I would be unbearable. I love this version of me. 

When our past revisits us in the presence, like a feeling of powerlessness, it’s not that we are failing or that we are doing it wrong, that’s exactly why we are going into presence in the first place. The only place these things from the past can be brought into our awareness is in the now.

For those of you who have days of contraction and expansion where you are just in flow, and then you proceed to have days that seemingly everything’s coming up that you thought you had worked through, those are the days you have to say thank you for. The days of expansion are easy. Your one or two breaths away from peace and presence. 

How you navigate the past is what’s important. The key is vulnerability.
