Honour the Self

Notice facing and honouring yourself is the most direct route to piercing through the veil of illusion. Everything is pointing toward Reality, though its not Reality itself. Would it not be curious if someone could give you who you really are? Everybody has given us what is on load-our personalities. When the body is given back, we realize who we are but we can also realize this before. To be a seeker is to imagine a gap between "here" and there. To maturely integrate a spiritual teaching requires you apply it, not simply believe, write about or work toward it. This knowing and being activates cosmic alchemy. Tune into what makes you feel most alive. The ultimate solution to a problem is to realize you do not really have any problem. This is the Truth of who we are. To awaken to this is to be truly satisfied. Its a spontaneous happening. It happens when the well-intentioned self-will takes a vacation. Beautiful things in life simply happen without effort. Falling asleep is effortless. Falling in Love is beyond you. Falling into you and the Truth cannot be forced. It is effortless. Let go of all that is self-centred.

Free yourself from the traps

Notice one of the biggest traps we buy into individually and collectively is "I feel trapped" (unable to act/ do what feels right). We are conditioned to believe and to perpetuate illusions, to tell ourselves what we cannot do and why. Imagining undesirable consequences hijacks our attention from the present moment and all that is real. Our thoughts trap us into believing we are limited. We become the unconscious mind, project experience to reinforce our own self-created limitations. Such beliefs keep us feeling small, less-than (abundant and whole), disconnected from who we are. Each individual, though his own unique path and choices, has to come to know himself as infinite, eternal and immortal consciousness. Only then is the alchemical process activated. This changes our relationship with energy. We grow to consciously harness and weild it. This requires steps into greater fearlessness, shifting our point of observation from being our experience (taking it personally) to observing it or being the infinite consciousness that is aware of having the experience and knows it is boundless, untouchable, omnipresent, immeasurable, omnipotent, limitless existence --Satchitananda). Any of these words points to the All-Pervading Absolute. They are words defining the essential nature of the One or Source Energy.

Usher in a new way of life

Notice that in order to usher in a new way of life, we must be willing to consciously activate the alchemist within. This is about cherishing and recognizing symbolic sunrises and sunsets in our lives. This implies not only thinking, speaking or writing about things we desire or wish to shift out of our lives, but also putting this thought energy, heartfelt intuition and self-love into action. Every decisions and life choice is a powerful energetic imprint. When ready, we physically, emotionally and otherwise let go of self-created illusions, codependence and other dysfunctional patterns and attachment we adopt to maintain false identity and block true being. We may want to detach or distance ourselves from people or situations because this causes pain, while the idea to which we are attached does not. But to really understand this whole issue of attachment, to tradition, to nationality, to custom, to a habit, to knowledge, to opinion, to a saviour, to all the innumerable beliefs and non-beliefs of 'right and wrong', we must not be satisfied merely to scratch the surface and think we have understood attachment issues when we are cultivating detachment. Whereas if we do not try to cultivate detachment, (which only becomes another issue), if we can simply see attachment clearly, then perhaps we can delve deeper and discover something entirely different, which is neither attachment nor detachment. It dawns that where attachment exists, no love exists. Attachment is the outcome of fear, of various forms of loneliness, and emptiness. An alchemist discovers the field of non-judgement and universal love through letting go of the unreal and being true to a compassionate inner voice. We refresh and renew simply by tuning in and listening to the Highest Self.

Notice as initiates, we quest for insight into our own creation. This is about remembering our Soul's purpose along a journey to growing awareness. Within us is power to access information that links past, present and future, where time stands still and All is understood. As we uncover True Nature, we realize a human being is the alchemical lab, a cosmic technology cultivated in a system outside linear time. The human being, consciousness and body, form the laboratory where alchemy happens, where the philosophers’ stone does its work to grant immortality. The human consciousness, mind and heart are tools used by the cosmic magician. Alchemy involves actual substances on the subtle or essential dimension and not on the corporeal level. The mind, heart and body are conduits. The more we recognize them as conduits of cosmic energy, the more the elixir of eternal life flows through veins of the human consciousness, revealing the light that illuminates itself by illuminating obstacles in its way. By illuminating itself, this light (our Nature) illuminates whatever it encounters. Alchemists spent ages on quests for this "Holy Grail." They viewed it the final magnum opus, or great work of spiritual and material transmutation. Alchemists widely believed it was an object to be made or discovered. Some thought it was a stone, others, a liquid or gas. Yet, some also sensed this stone as a metaphor. It is an analogy here. Imagine the key to the secrets of existence, True Nature, is so mysterious and so invisible that it reveals itself in stages. We can only experience True Nature in the many ways/ faces it presents itself, and yet it is always one thing.

In emptiness is usefulness

Align with love and reconnect to higher fields of consciousness. You are taught to focus on fear and tears. Yet, beyond conditioned limitation, you are an infinite being. Choose to stay open.  Release yourself from the prison of the left brain. Reality is not revealed by the five senses. You are unstructured, connected to everyone, everywhere.  Your point of observation is consciousness having this physical experience.

As source energy, you travel everywhere now as unconditional love. Your omnicience is unparallelled. Get beyond the logic and reason that confine you to space and linear time. Intuitive heart knowing is beyond thought. Beliefs emit low level vibrations. Intuitive knowing emits higher vibration and reminds us who we really are. To feel joy is to raise personal vibration and activate higher energy. It is through perceiving emptiness that everything is useful. Shape emptiness into form and you understand the pure state you are.
