Awaken into Freedom

“Your light grows so strong that darkness can no longer hold you”… Moments of feeling fear and dark dystopian moods come and go more rapidly. 

Addictions like drinking and overeating cease to have a hold on us because we simply don’t want these any longer. Surrender to your own authentic presence and allow God to fill the space left by all dark energies and entities that once controlled us. 

The awakening of humanity has shifted into high gear, with no going back to dark ages’ ignorance, dark control and oppression. Time to own your freedom and literally “be the change you want to see”.

An Unwavering Intention

A powerful intention that is made manifest in a state of perfect (one-pointed) attention.

Original & Self Sufficient Mind

Understanding the innocence of infancy as key to beginners mind, without impediments of too much knowledge, experience, memory or sense of mastery. As stated in yoga teachings as well as in Zen, “you must empty your cup to have it refilled” .

Yoga Is

Fascinating portrayal of profound perspectives given by various yoga teachers,  within the context of one woman’s spiritual journey and narrative.

The Real Work

Just discovered this. Michael Singer makes crystal  clear the purpose of yoga practice and true spiritual awakening, as removal of the self imposed obstacles that block enlightenment. Witness consciousness and use of mantras as valuable practices to “get out of the water” of mental emotional chaos.

The Illusion of External Happiness

The pain of life is we imagine happiness is found outside ourselves. The world and its pleasures are illusions, so pursuing worldly pleasure and false happiness is inviting more pain and bondage rather than freedom. The temporary dissolving of pain via pleasures is but a momentary escape. For this reason Schopenhauer claims happiness is a negative state as it only denies temporarily the positive reality of pain. So, alternatively connecting with inner well being, good health and a cheerfulness not dependent on outer conditions is the key. Not to pursue pleasure but reduce pain and all unnecessary suffering is the way of freedom and ultimate peace.
