On Awakening

I have wnciecledn Ken globe as I aleptnajs born heRsbzk uc of a ”gpodmess me : what das that?’

Translation:
I have encircled the globe as I slept and not heard so much as a ‘goodness me – what was that?’

I feel that I need to add a brief explanation here. This wasmy first thoughtwhen I woke up this morning and seemed so profound that I felt obliged to share it before my eyes were even capable of opening (and before I forgot it). Hence, the message was a little garbled when I first typed it o...

Mantra

On one side of the fence– normal reality, and on the other side– ultimate reality. The fence is our thoughts – confusing, banal, uncomfortable and very, very sticky. To move our consciousness from normal reality to ultimate reality, we have to bring down that fence.

Mantras (repeated truths in the form ofsyllables, words or phrases) help us to do thatin these ways:

Destruction. They break down a part of the fence, by replacing thoughts with no thoughts. Creation. They build a gate for us to...

Karma

Here’s the skinny (whatever that means) on karma. When you do, say or think something ‘bad’ you acquire karma. When you do, say or think something ‘good’ then you acquire merit. Merit cancel out karma, hence a ‘virtuous life’eradicates karma. The more karma you can cancel out, and the more merit you can accumulate, the closer your true self gets to ultimate reality. When the difference becomes nil, then you become liberated.

How cool is that?

So, what kind of twisted link can we make between...

Chakras

Here before you is your very own guide to writing and publishing, written using chakras as aframework for my sage musings.

From top to bottom (head to bum) we have:

Consciousness. First of all, you need a good idea – an acorn, if you will, for the mighty oak that is to become your book. Try, at this point, praying to God for divine inspiration (let me know how that goes for you). Alternatively, try noticing the things that go on around you and making lots of notes about them. A quick word of...

Exercise and Diet

Unhealthy lifestyles are rooted in the mind and seeded in the soul. The spiritual exercise of the mind involves taking the mind out of the physical body and to the subtle body of light and then to our state of being a soul – a sentient point of light and power. As for diet control, pure thoughts are the healthy diet for the mind. Creative thoughts are like vitamins and positive thoughts provide proteins that build will power.

Meditation

“I see sisters prostituting and I don’t like city streets so I’m a heading for the countryside where the air is fresh and sweet,to get some cool meditation.” (Third World)

Communication with a reality that goes beyond the typically limited experience of consciousness requires that consciousness be transformed in some way. Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness.

Believe me, these words feel better on the inside than from the outside.Using meditation to gethigh, instead...
