beloved heart

As you well know, most of what I have to say is disruptive and upsetting to the personalised search and to the authorities that keep that in place. And as you are well aware, I am sure, my business with you is not about cheering you up. A Student in Life does not need cheering up. I am sure you agree. 

I am grateful however, to have this means, and the Circumstance of the Tushita Heart Hermitage to share this Love, this Ecstasy, this moment of Life with you. 

 I am sure You, Beloved Student in Life, are at ease and using this time for a wonderful period of reflection and self-observation and gratitude. A time to find out what is necessary and what is un-necessary. 

If you ever needed permission to stop, to have the time for simple innocent meditation, well now we have it. I am sure it is obvious to you that this disease, this egoic and driven social/economic/political consumerism pandemic that has ravaged the Earth and Nature, allows no time (unless one is taken by the force of Real Insight) for individuals to truly reflect. This means reflecting beyond one’s self – in order to slowly untangle one’s own conditioned ideologies... one’s underlying, uncritically adopted beliefs/thoughts that are used primarily to defend one’s self and justify one’s own restless seeking – one’s own concealed fear. 

We need solitude (to stop, to be still, to be with one’s self) to re-connect with the Source of our Life – the Life. It is not by seeking and being busy - not even by “good works” (there will be time enough for that) – that one begins to have a Conversation with one’s inner Being. In fact, for many, that is scary - scary because it is going into the unknown. It seems safer to stay with the known, even if it is falling to pieces, even when it does not fulfill us in any Real Lasting way. 

It may not be “working” but the high priests of outer political and religious ideologies, dogmas and doctrines want to maintain the old order and their power and control over it. 
One needs a fortified and steady Heart in order not to be ruled by the issues of the day. One needs to be already established in Love (Consciousness It Self) - your inner Being - to Stand in the midst of insidious toxic fear-mongering. 

Beloved, I know you will use this time well, as you will through all the moments of your existence. I am writing to you and you are reading and I am grateful. And, above all, know this well… silence connects everything in Nature, not our words, our talk, our spiritual ideas and well-meaning platitudes. 
In silence we can make some deeper inspection and intelligent enquiry within our self that dims the phony glamour we are exhorted to partake of, all produced by frauds to the applause of morons. Who said that? Did I say that? My word!!! 

Most commonly, if we are not Aware, we humans talk about life and all things spiritual with a vocabulary designed and crafted to protect and elevate our human-centric identity and its way of life. If we humans are to Truly join up with Nature, and therefore obey the Laws of Nature, we must break this diseased identity protection, this false sense of human-centric importance and its made-up destructive economic order. 

What are we telling each other right now? Is it how bad everything is and what the latest conspiracy theory is and how nothing will ever be the same again? 

If we are to be close to our Heart, to Realise the Heart that is Life, and allow others to Live the same, we must participate with each other in direct, clear and honest communication. However, direct, clear and honest communication is hardly possible through the static of our personalised identity. Direct, clear, honest communication, meaning communication not intended to manipulate or exploit another for our own gain or gratification or approval, but simply a statement of confidence about our own Being. 

Unless you are Awake, everything that comes to you is filtered through this assumed identity, whether it is Wisdom or the news of the world; all new information is oozed and sifted through this personalised identity. Most often only that which does not alter or change one’s identity, nor tarnish one’s social credibility is accepted. This will never do!! 

Beloved Young Heart, know this well. The Life that Lives you is not an ideology, it is not something you have to attain, it is not the “work” of “another” Being. It is the Being You Are. And it contains no doubt whatsoever. 

It embodies no doubt because It does not need to believe or dis-believe anything or anyone at all. Doubt comes from wondering whether to believe something or someone, or not to believe. It is the dilemma of the personalised identity. 
Take your time Beloved Young Heart, help each other at all times, happy or difficult. Smile at each other and bow down in wonder. Look up at the unequalled sky and soak in the spectacle of beauty that is all around us, everywhere. And when we do have the chance to speak to each other, know the difference between vulgar propaganda and creative inspiration. We must persevere for love, we must not die for love, as is so commonly uttered, but instead we must live for love. 

Speak to each other in Love. In that way we will not communicate to catastrophise and dramatise any situation, both of which amplify the fear already lurking under the skin. 

What a Wonder and Profound Gift Beloved Renunciate Arohananda gave with Her introduction of the simple vital breathing meditation (IAM Breathing Meditation) during the last Student Spiritual Immersion Retreat before the compulsory lockdown. 
May you all be taking the time every day to involve your body in one of the very best Conversations your body can have with your Being – yes, breathing. 
A Conversation that has been crafted out of millions of years of evolution in Life, not something made up by humans. 

Breathing is our most vital bodily intimacy with Life. We do not have to make it up. No ego required. Only the ego thinks it makes something, that it creates something. Music and poetry and inspiration and wisdom and intelligence and beauty and energy are already in Life; we do not make those "things" but we can express them, we can transmit them. 

If only humans would get over their self-appointed ego importance, that makes them think they actually "make" the music, "make" the poetry," make” the Wisdom, “make” things happen, “make” it all right and on and on. With this approach we create enormous fear and disease. We can, though, be wonderful transmitters of all those qualities - we can be expressions of them. 

You are Life already. Infuse your thoughts and feelings with silence and solitude, harmony and rhythm, humour and breath, gratitude and mystery. 
All the Wonders that seek no attention. 

Beloved.
