Sharing Power Strengthens Power

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

You don’t have to go through rituals with the hope that something’s going to change. The Everyday Sanyasin is not involved with ‘pie in the sky when you die.’ The Everyday Sanyasin is taking what’s going on, using my Divine Heritage that’s within me, to discover how I can find my comfort, my ability to be with what’s going on, and to be creative with what’s going on in the moment.

If you start breathing more quickly, that’s an indication that you are not doing it gently. Slow down in the change that you’re introducing. Take a nice breath. Take a couple nice breaths and be at ease with it. Or if you think you need to, introduce a little bit of the quality of what gives you comfort into the visualization. The whole idea is introducing aspects that are going to expand your perception in a way that allows you to be open.

What’s interesting to meis that here in the West, and especially in America, we’re used to making big changes very fast. We think that’s what we’re doing. And yet to find in an internal visualization practice, in a Deity practice, my own resistance simply to changing colors. This is all just imagined stuff. It’s not like I’m changing jobs or getting divorced or getting married. It’s something internal. It shows me how the internal work is the most intense and the most profound.

It truly is because it changes how we deal with perception. It changes the filters, the organizing faculty. We called it the Bodhi in The Everyday Sanyasin. It’s from Raja Yoga and the Yogic Aphorisms of Patanjali. Actually, we’re changing the way in which we organize our perception. And it’s wonderful because basically, instead of you saying, “No, I can’t be warmer because it’s cold outside.” And, “I’ve been cold all my life because of this, this, and this.” Instead of getting into the story, or getting into majestic conceptualizations that hide the story, we’ve approached it from a very simple perspective. That simple perspective allows you to begin to embrace the colors and the qualities of the colors amidst this change in a manner that you can incorporate and integrate into your life.

It’s completely practical. It’s completely immediate.
Now I’ve got a different paradigm. I’ve got a different super-structure. My superstructure has inner warmth.” Now two things: remember as you’re expanding this mist out from you that you share it with others. It’s really good, in fact, if you can actually see them breathe in this warmth and begin to radiate it themselves. Even though you’re doing it in a visualization, this is the manifestation of your intentto share the radiant warmth that you’re discovering. It connects you with all of humanity while you’re doing that, yes. It also enhances the strength of the power that you’re cultivating within yourself. If I cultivate a power for myself, the strength of that power is limited to me.

Dual Perception

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The truth is the best perspective on the Bible story fact. Its not a good perception, when one can behold this one stated fact and perceive two views of its account in the Bible story. The Hebrew is the path to understanding the true message in the Bible account. The Hebrew tongue, they say, can’t be properly broken to other languages. This ideal of two views is a possible doubt about this stated message in the Bible story. Both views acknowledge God created the heaven and the earth. One view, however, take this act from its stated teller to “God said” this fact. The truth is the Bible story defines the things “God said”. The Bible statement is direct and clear. The statement is not “And God said, In the beginning, I, created the heaven and the earth.

In the view of God as the teller the Bible story starts with Him in the state of nothingness. God exists in a spiritual realm. God from this spiritual realm turns and creates the physical matter of existence. God in this view creates the heaven and the earth from this nothingness. Like a magician drawing from its hat God emerged from this emptiness a state of reality. The view has God and then the placement of the created heaven and the earth. Its from this viewpoint the fact of the Bible takes account in the story sequence of events. God in this view composed the state of the heaven and the earth. God in this view did not define how this act of the heaven and the earth took place, state or reality. This one thought opens this initial ideal conveyed in the Bible story. The reader has to direct this concept to the sequence which followed in the Bible story account.

The Bible story relates Moses as the teller of this account. Moses in the story was told this fact by angel. The teller of this fact had to be there with God to witness this event. The teller had to see God creation of the heaven and the earth. The teller is telling Moses, God created the heaven and the earth. The heaven and the earth are established in the existence. Moses being told this fact relates the existence of those created states by God. The teller relates back “in the beginning” to Moses the start of this heaven and its earth. The Bible story in this view of angel takes on the sequence of events in the account. This projected statement by angel hold the other view of the Bible account. In this view the reader has the thought of the creation in angel world. God in the story sequence is the definer of the heaven and the earth. Angel initial usage of God declaration of the heaven and the earth starts the account.

The Bible story constructs its fact through its detailed sequence of events. The story sequence defines God proclaiming the heaven and the earth. God define the division of the light and darkness as heaven. The heaven in this view is a factor outside of the existence of the light and darkness. The heaven cut the light and the darkness providing a void in the existence. It’s in the state of this void called heaven the occupancy of the things of existence took reality. The things of existence contained in the heaven outside of the realities of the light and darkness. God define the “dry [land]” as earth. The Bible story eventual purpose for the earth was its host. The reader under angel view has the translation of this initial statement in the Bible account. In the beginning God cut the light and the darkness for the earth/host. Angel view in the Bible story sequence should construct the events which led to this act by God.

The realities the reader place on the Bible account should be its facts. Even without the acknowledgement of Moses the sequence of events should relate the Bible story account of angel. The same sequence of events should relate God stating the acts in the Bible story account. This dual perception of God and angel as the teller of the story starts the doubt about the Bible account. God as teller relates this state of nothingness as the start of the creation. Angel as teller is stating abundance in which God creates the heaven and the earth. These are the two views of this initial fact in the Bible story. The Bible story has one fact. The dual perception cast on this initial statement in the Bible story goes differing routes. Its not what I say or possibly you state, the Bible story must verify the fact. These states proclaimed by God over rank the views we hold about the story.

Genesis 1:1 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

In one view God had created the heaven and the earth and moves into this new sequence of events in the Bible story. God structuring of the heaven and the earth had on-going construction in this view. The view focuses in on the condition for the earth. In this concept the earth, although there, lack substance. The earth lack of substance is its “dry [land]“. The view takes in the consideration of waters on the state of the earth. The thought is carried in the sequence of events in the Bible story account of the “darkness” and “the deep”. Its at this spot in the story God moves on the waters. The earth state was in need of additional work and lacked light. God in this view became a Farmer.

Angel view tells of a lie among the host. This lie was about the existence of others. The liar proclaimed existence of these others in the state of darkness. Angel states a strange indifference came into existence in the world of their host. This strange structure had “darkness”. The host of angel proclaimed this structure “the deep”. The sequence relates one among them who moved on the strange occurrence. Angel view of the account tells of a moment before God made Himself known to the host of angel. Angel relates the host of their world act which motivated God to reveal the truth about the existence. God was the others there in the existence. God state was not in the darkness as the liar had proclaimed for those presented life.

The resolution of the dual perception is the Bible fact in its story account. The Bible sequence of events does detail its fact on the story. The teller in the Bible story states the things “God said” and its accomplished fact. The teller heard God and then witnesses the result of His act. True God and angel were there on this mountain with Moses. This initial statement in the Bible account holds the earth as the state of the existence. Angel with this same statement relates it’s the heaven. To resolve the issue the Bible has to state the reality of the existence. Was the state of the existence the earth or the heaven?

Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

May we all grow in the wisdom and prosperity of God will,
