Continued from Part 2 . . .
The basic mathematics of any true spiritual path is “ALL is ONE”. Any true spiritual path is a roadmap of some sort, which uses this basic formula as the main message but expresses and elucidates it in its own way. In our physical lives, we seem to experience the world as self and others. The idea of oneself as separate and unconnected from other life beings, is the original cause of our fall from living in paradise and the source of all of our misery.
Taking a look at the body with its four limbs, two hands, two feet, ten fingers, ten toes etc., one knows that its life in the world, is only possible because each part of the body, functions as one single unit. The finger of one hand does not attack or hurt the fingers of the other hand. Your fist does not suddenly pop up and strike the face. Your body is a single entity even if there are many vastly diverse elements and parts to it. In the same way, all in our physical existence, is in actuality one body! We all breathe the same air, drink the same water and actually even share the same thought space, although it appears our minds are all separate.
The message is simple and it can be seen over and over and over again, although it may be expressed in an infinite number of ways. Purification, refinement and meditation are in essence, all the same. For those who truly seek the answer, will always find the answer to be ONE. Once “ONE” enters the heart, then that being is an awakened drop of water destined to return to the ocean. Life then becomes the simple act of applying “ONE” to everything one does. By doing this, impurities disappear, the days get increasingly better and easier, and one’s physicality realigns with nature. Some call this an awakening…
Nature is all encompassing. There is nothing in physical existence that exists outside the lap of our Mother. Nature does not have favorites, and her grace, cycles and laws apply to each one of her children the same. All lifeforms in nature, function and exist by organizing their lives in harmony with the great dance of existence. Those who learn to dance well, have a better ride and a longer ride. All is possible because of the all-inclusive embrace of our Origin.
One who applies the spiritual mathematics of “ONE” to everything in their lives, will naturally come to understand the meaning of unconditional love. Experiencing it just once, means in many ways you have found the way home. Identifying with the oneness of all existence, means all is inclusive. The logic of the mind will divide and separate existence until there is nothing left, unless an open heart Is constantly kept during its application. When logic is guided by the heart, harmony and unity reemerges, healing takes place, and the path begins to glow with an auspicious light.
For one who logically understands that “All is One”, and uses it as their guiding measure, will find that the manifestation of those mathematics results in an open heart. An open heart seems to dissolve logic, but actually it causes the two to become one and indistinct. In the beginning there may be discomfort and some confusion as the heart attempts to open, but in time the starlight of all of creation will shine through it, and the diverse elements of one’s life will unify.
Human beings have achieved a lot of amazing things on this planet. In recent years, our knowledge has grown rapidly by leaps and bounds, and has manifested externally as technology and advanced ways of living. Although it may be true that our knowledge is immense, and intellectually we may currently be at the top of the game, it is perhaps this pride in our achievements that has given rise to a superiority complex which has caused us to deviate from natures path.
Intuition means to be “IN TUNE”. One who is a good listener, has nothing to think about, but only pays attention with an open heart. To know how to position ourselves to be in harmony with nature, requires our intuitive faculties to be attentive to her movements. A life that is full of itself, will become unable to hear or intuit her message anymore. All creation that is undertaken by humans is only a small shadow of the master creator which is our Mother Nature. As her children, we could never expect to outshine her, and this fact must be kept in mind, if we wish to stay in harmony with her movements.
A teacher that is full of their own knowledge, has no capacity to learn anything more. They become a stagnant life. We may be proud of our achievements, but if we let our pride dull our inborn receptivity to our natural origin and the life breath of nature, then we will unfortunately miss the beat. To stay in touch with the rhythm of nature, requires a receptive clarity of awareness, that is difficult to maintain for the one who is full of knowledge and identifies with it.
In order to remain a child of nature rather than believing we are the parent, and to remain a student of life rather than its teacher, requires humility. We have taken fragments of intellectual knowledge that we have gathered, and have made conclusions about them attempting to solidify them as truth. That may give us an imagined sense of stability and comfort in this vast ocean of unpredictable life experience, but in actuality it causes us to be blind to the very truth of our existence.
There is one thing, and one thing only that we can all be sure of, and that is we can never know anything at all is absolutely true, for absolute certain. Recognizing and accepting this fact, will for sure keep one humble and make it very difficult to become a fanatic about anything, or to hold unreasonably strong judgments, viewpoints, biases or belief systems about anyone or anything. Admitting we do not know anything for sure, is the point of realization which humbles us once again to our natural origin and brings us home.
It is an obvious truth that speaking and conversation uses up a lot of personal energy in the body. Those who have jobs that require speaking at long lengths throughout the day, may realize how tired they often feel at the end of it. On the other hand, those who wisely know how to engage in selective conscious speaking, will find that the longer they keep their mouth closed and observe silence, the more that certain types of energy charge up in the system.
Some people may find it easy to keep quiet and can limit their talking and conversation, however for others this may be challenging. For those wishing to enhance their personal energy, and strengthen the quality and clarity of their conscious awareness, it would be wise to observe regular periods of silence, as well as being selective with the words one speaks. In addition to this, how often a person speaks, and with whom they speak, are also factors that when regulated, will do wonders for the blossoming of one’s internal world. By becoming comfortable with silence, and practicing it often, the mind will also become more manageable, still, and at peace. Silence is one of the higher methods of energetic purification.
Realizing there is nothing we can know is true for absolute certain, can be a frightening occurrence for many people. Fear of the unknown, and of the uncertain, has been a powerful driving force for longer than we can trace back. To give us some sense of stability and comfort, we have tried to solidify knowledge as truth. In a limited sense, this can temporarily help us create some order and constancy, for without it, not much can be established or achieved on the physical level.
A pure mind, is a conscious life, that can operate only by the truth of life and reality. One whose mind and heart operate in close communion, has no option for the application of untruth in their life function. Truth is nature… untruth is the artificial… Truth is that quality that keeps it all together, and gives it all meaning. The very fabric of our existence and the functioning of all physical life, is all built on the foundation of truth. By managing our lives with truth, and walking each step of our life path with it, ensures that even though we may walk through darkness for some time, we will never be lost.
Truth can never be compromised. It is a constant choice that maintains the purity of our existence. It is the great purifier, guiding light and the true promise of hope, no matter what the current circumstances are. Each physically conscious life has the responsibility to be the keeper of truth in every moment of their life. This is in fact our main role… keepers of truth… If we deviate from the truth, then the cohesiveness of our existence will be undermined. By always keeping to the truth, we ensure the eternal integral unity of all life. Life really does have a simple formula…
Life sensitivity, requires truth as its foundation. One who has lost the purity of the constant conscious application of truth in their life, will find themselves in the darkness of their own ignorance, and will be unable to see anything clearly. In alchemy, we seek the simplification and refinement of different states of energy. We seek to limit the wasting of energy on all levels, and to maintain its potency. There is no application of energy that is higher than the truth. That which deviates from the truth, expends and wastes mass loads of energy, while draining energetic resources. What is more important than the truth? One’s own original conscious wholeness… is truth itself. One who is against truth, is against life…
