These days, it is far too often assumed that this individual or that is enlightened.
Actually, that level of life is far rarer than so assumed.
Mother Teresa was one of those very rare and precious individuals.
These three planets will all be close together in the eastern night sky before sunrise tomorrow morning. Venus will be the bright ‘star’ and Jupiter will be just above it. It will be a pretty sight.
There is no greater fortune than to have this knowledge and be in a human physical body. Seize the day!
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
Fortune favors the bold.
Everyone senses it within… people, animals, even insects… Some may simply call it the instinct for self preservation.
It has many names… the soul, the self, inner divinity, the unified field, Oneness, God… call it what you will.
Through evolution, the sense of it becomes clearer and clearer… Along the way, there are many awakenings… glimpses, hints, faint whispers of what is to come…
As water cools, it comes to know the nature of ice more and more fully… Yet, at one point it crystalizes… it becomes ice… and everything changes…
Everything in creation gravitates back to the Oneness out of which it came. It is that Oneness that you are sensing deep inside… that you are being drawn toward… like a moth around a candle flame… like a plant reaching to the Sun… like a mountain stream to the ocean… until that moment when it all comes together… it crystalizes… that moment is called enlightenment…
It is not that anything goes away…
The full range of thoughts and emotions remain… The you that was… remains… But the real YOU emerges in full splendor… like a backdrop to all of creation… And in that moment, your relationship with everything changes… forever… You realize that nothing is really happening… that relative existence is a beautiful, glorious, magnificent mirage… a virtual image… like a reflection in the mirror, lightly etched on the face of Being… your Being… the only thing that really IS… Shiva… You and God are One…
The Self that you sensed deep inside, overtakes the universe…
