Relevant Ponderings from Gita:

*

The Supreme Spirit in the body is said to be the one that oversees, guides, sustains, and is the Enjoyer. This is the Sovereign Lord and the Highest Self in the physical self; body, senses, mind and intellect. 13.2

*

When you have known and experienced Truth/God/Self, you will not again fall into delusion; and through the Self in you, you will see all beings in your Self and also in the Supreme Self. 4.35

*

Whatever glorious or beautiful or mighty being exists anywhere, know that it has sprung from but a spark of the splendor of the Supreme Self/the original Source. 10.41

*

Those who know-feel the Supreme/Super-Self as the One that underlies all the elements, as the One that underlies all the forms of gods, and as the One that sustains all the sacrifices, can with steadfast mind, know and merge with the Supreme-Self even as late as in the hour of death. 7.30

Love Radiance Intention Experience

October 17, 2008 to October 19, 2008

*

Dear Love Radiance Intention Member,

Our Collaborative Group Intention Focus Theme:

Three-Way Partnership

Introduction:

This theme underlies the importance of having a divine relationship/partnership with all that is unity- consciousness. We are consistently moving towards the realization of the maximum possible potential available to all of us in all the fields of our lives.

It has three aspects as follows:

1. Partnership with the Individual Self: This is being one with the Self that we all are. Its positive signs in its inherent connection and negative signs (when we are not with it) are as follows:

Positive signs -- When our physical self, our senses, our emotional self, and our thought process and our intellect (ego) are all in alignment with the Self, we are connected to our true Nature (Self). When we are present and working from the level of Spirit we experience peace, joy, love, harmony, and we know/feel this exultation of Spirit. This is a fearless state of Freedom. Knowing and feeling like, I am part and parcel of the divine and feeling the divinity within. I am divine in my original nature.

Negative signs -- When we work from our lower level, our unconscious level brings disconnection with our true self and causes us lots of disappointments, agitations and struggles within our day-to-day life.

2. Partnership with the Universe/Creations:

This is being one with the Universe, with all Creation as it is. Its positive signs in its inherent connection and negative signs (when we are not with it) are as follows:

Positive signs -- We feel connected with the environment, with people, and with every living being on earth as we feel the union with the Universe/Creation. We never feel alone. We feel we are all children of God and we are deeply related with everything and everyone around us. Were one big divine family.

Negative signs -- Disconnection with our environment, loneliness, not connected with people, depression, not knowing the purpose in life, living unconsciously and not knowing who we truly are.

3. Partnership with the Creator:

This is being one with the Creator/Source of all as we are. Its positive signs in its inherent connection and negative signs (when we are not with it) are as follows:

Positive signs  Keep on having internal communication with the Creator/God. Feeling the Presence within us all the time, asking for guidance and keeping the flow within this presence. Its an effortless state, a 50/50 partnership with God. Having awareness of my individual role in every situation, performing actions within this connection and leaving the rest in the hands of the universe, finally liberating oneself from the bondage of attachment to the outcomes. Being able to see the bigger picture in every situation.

Negative signs -- Always struggling in making decisions from the lower self, causing confusion, lack of trust in oneself, and in the divine. Mind controls everything.

Simple five to ten minute Connecting meditation:

Going into the silence within allows us to reach our true nature.

1. Bring your attention at the back of the nostrils and simply be there and observe the incoming and outgoing breath. Stay present in this mode for a minute or so.

2. Follow your full breath from nostrils to navel and navel back to nostrils. Stay present with this full flow of breath for a minute or so.

3. Bring your attention to the base of your spine by consciously breathing into it. Stay there and feel the dormant divine energy there. Feel this energy invoking and moving upwards towards the crown of your head. Say seven (7) times the OM's vibrations from the base of your spine to crown of the head. Stay there for a few minutes and observe your inner connection with the Self and connection with the Supreme Self. Feel Oneness. Affirm, feel and experience I am peace, I am awareness, I am joy, I am bliss, and I am connected with my inner Spirit, with the Universe and with the Supreme Spirit/Source.

4. Allow your attention to rise up in the middle of the Universal Consciousness, and feel the oneness with all it is. Experience your inherent connection I am one with all that is. Stay here in this mode as long as you can.

5. At your convenience (when you decide so) come out of this spiritual oneness into your body consciousness. Utilize this divine energy in all your worldly activities you perform. You will be amazed at your presence and performance in all you do.
