Ponderings

*

When we make the choice for radical change in our life, it is like a death and a rebirth. We have to die to the old ways, place ourselves in the tomb of surrender, and emerge to experience newness of life. The period of darkness and perhaps despair is our tomb of transformation. Thats why Easter is much more than a story about Jesus triumph over death; it is a very powerful symbol of personal spiritual transformation. Rev. Wolak

Life, death and rebirth are inevitable. A deep authentic reflection/contemplation as such, points us towards the absolute reality of the one Essence that underlies all the elements and all the forms (including those of gods). As well as the One that sustains all the sacrifices. Realization of this essence with a steadfast mind leads one to the true understanding of the inter-connectedness of all these areas and the underlying Oneness with all that is. Gita...Rig Veda.

It boggles my mind that someone can see life breathed into a baby, watch the grass die and then come to life again, see leaves fall and watch the rebirth of a tree, or gaze on any of the majestic splendor that is this earth and not be overpowered by the presence of an Almighty God! Bill McCartney

Love Radiance Intention Experience

Dear Love Radiance Intention Member,

Our Collaborative Group Intention Monthly Theme for April is:

Ongoing Renewal

Introduction

The above wisdom is best explained by reference to three great principles or fundamental ideas, which underlie all life, as well as every religion and every philosophy that ever has been or ever will be. As applied to humanity, they may be briefly named: firstly, the Self as reality in a human being; secondly, the law of rhythmic or cyclic progression as the process by which we all evolve, both in form and in soul; thirdly, evolution as the design or pattern of life in terms of meaning and purpose.

Three Steps

1. Deeply know-feel yourself individually as pure soul, intrinsically peaceful, blissful and blessed with a comfortable and abundant life.

2. Deeply know-feel that all others are the same. As I am That, He/She is That, We are all That. The supreme Consciousness underlies all that is. And all there is, is Consciousness.

3. Deeply know-feel that Now is the present, and its time to experience the underlying essence of our intrinsic Oneness; soul to soul.

Visualization

Visualize yourself going through a "death" process and preparing your body for the rebirth. As the old layers of energy are removed, we can let ourselves be exposed to different levels of new energy and undergo a mergence with the "Father/Source of Light. Then see how to integrate these new changes into living the fulfillment of your life.

Realization

The Sustainer for the body, senses, mind and intellect (BSMI) is responsible for spreading the divine energy within, while sustaining, revitalizing, renewing and purifying the BSMI and energizing the meditative charkas. Including the Love center.

The Observer is how the BSMI interacts with people going through different sensations and experiences under different situational responses. Reaching positive understanding and a neutral/mid-point position between two extreme opposing views is a great beginning to influence further specific guidance and understanding in these moments.

The Intuitive Guide is a peaceful collective, mutually benefiting a fit response to any given situation presented in Nature. Particularly concluding that any rough experience in life is an indication of an opportunity for further self-development, both individually and collectively. This pure intention and self-inquiry efforts can be directed accordingly. Seeing the direct relevance in your daily affairs helps to conduct yourself with awareness and love.

The Experiencer is the net effect of your consciousness through what you think, feel, interact and do. It clearly sees the working principle of cause and effect (the law of Karma) and is the opportunity to redirect yourself to establish your innate tranquil awareness as such.

The Connector with the Self, within the Universe and All that exists within the Source, from where all things come and to which all things will return after having human/or other experience. It is in this context that we all experience the connecting energy of the meditative center within the crown.

Understanding Emotions (Positive Reflections For The Day by Brahma Kumaris Om Shanti Studio)

Whenever the possibility of being free of all emotion is suggested, a common reaction is often, "Would life not be boring and colorless with no ups and downs? A kind of fiat lining! That sounds like no life. Did you have this or a similar thought? The way emotions are being talked about here means love, peace, joy and true happiness are not emotions, they are natural states of being which exist behind, beneath and beyond all emotion. Emotion is an agitation of mind, a disturbance within your consciousness. And when it happens notice you have no control. Love and its many expressions, peace and its many levels, joy and happiness and its many faces are not agitations or disturbances. They are choices, they are states of being which you can choose to create and feel at will, and as you do so your attitude and behavior will follow accordingly.

Meditation

1. Sit comfortably and quietly with back straight. Observe your breath at the back of your nostrils, going in and out for a few minutes. Now observe the flow of your breath from nostrils to navel and navel back to nostrils again, and notice the abdomen rising and falling. Be there for a few minutes. Observe your inner calmness, peacefulness and connection. Affirm I am a peaceful, loving and a blissful being. Feel the essence of these affirmations and experience being One with your own Self within. Stay there for a few more minutes and enjoy this connection.

2. Feeling one with yourself, start to repeat silently SO on inhalation and HUM on exhalation. Stay at the middle of the eyebrows and keep repeating SO-HUM. Stay there for a few minutes. Now feel I am one with the whole universe and with every living being on earth. Deeply know-feel that all others are the same. As I am That, He/ She is That, We are all that. All there is one consciousness. Stay there for a few minutes and enjoy this communion.

3. Stay in the middle of your eyebrows and repeat OM vibrations seven times. Feel that you are one with the Source from where everything comes and goes. Feel you are going through a death process and preparing your body for the rebirth. Feel old layers of energy, judgments, dogmas, concepts, rigid thinking and fears are being removed, and experience an undergoing mergence with the Father/Source. Affirm I am open to receive the new energy in me. Stay there for a few minutes. Feel a new vibrant energy has taken birth in you. When you are ready to come out, gently open your eyes.
