From Letters to a Young Heart and All
Beloved Heart, You have come into this realm, this conditional realm as I have.
You as I, in our early formative years, will have been subjected to the prejudices, belief systems and bias particular to the location and circumstance of Your physical birth.
Our human conditioning comes in the form of other humans relating to us, teaching us, moulding us as though they have decided who we are and what we are. This fright-full trespass on our Conscious Innocence has a shocking effect on our Inherent Nature. In fact, most of us live under the weight of a socially acceptable trauma. This fundamental nonsense, this inferior transference of conditional identity, has remained the same down through history – from one generation to the next.
Maybe with different beliefs, different ideas, different worldly identities, different technologies and different knowledge but the nonsense has remained the same.
Ah, there are two things that have remained the same: the nonsense and the Truth.
However, Beloved Heart, You do not have to continue with this disgraceful inter-generational transference of nonsense. You can walk the Path of the Brave Heart, the One who is Awake to their Freely Given Life Nature.
Do not let Your Radiant Life-Force (Love) be buried under the accumulation of undigested notions and beliefs uncritically accepted from others.
You came into appearance from the Lineage of Light. You were born in the Beauty of Your Self.
Ask Your Self, does anything simply Beautiful need supplementing? No. No more than Graceful Humility does. No more than Love does.
For all those who come into the Siddhi of any Living Renunciate’s Hermitage (the Great Heart) anywhere in this world, and endure the Heat until the politics of skin and the threat of loss and the status of “I” are incinerated in the Fire of Love, I Stand with You for ever.
You have chosen the True Dissenters’ Path. To turn away from the world, from the conditioning, from the limited self and its usual search in order to take the Path into the Unknown Domains of You (from where you stand at the moment). This is the bravest Path of all.
And here you will find the elusive Goddess in Her Wild Residence, throwing out the mortal scraps of yesterday’s spiritual hitchhiker. Oh, we humans like to speak about the Great Goddess from the comfort of our well-organised, conditionally safe life. How naïve.
She will take your worry beads and tightly gathered knucklebones and throw them on the floor, then She will ignore you. And when you speak again, if you can, She will insult all your sophisticated veneer of mammalian speech. And with Her shit-proof mind and bird’s nest hair-do She will drag you unapologetically over the hot coals of Her Heart’s Desire. Do not make the most of it; simply allow the most of it.
Do not approach Her carrying your travel bag of conditioned arguments, questions and fascinations.
Sit next to Her Fire and regain Wonder, Awe, Courage, Humour, Constant Attention, Humility and Primal Feeling. These Life Qualities will evaporate the fog of your mind. She is not here to give explanations, reasons or commandments. She is only here to give Revelations from an unclouded Consciousness.
Do not try to ingratiate yourself with Her, She will only bite chunks out of your ego and feed it to Her cats. And when She looks at you, do not be fooled by your wanting desires, She is gazing a thousand mile gaze that no mortal can fathom.
Better to make yourself useful beyond your own desires and throw your precious collection of myths, fables, morals, certainties, beliefs, ideals and judgments onto Her Fire.
What then? Be patient.
