Set Adrift on the Sacred Pathway of the Soul
“Dearest Beloved Hearts, the Essence of Spiritual-Life-Identity-Feeling has nothing to do with reasoning, it has nothing to do with working things out, with a problem solved and so forth. The Truth of You resides in the Soul. If we are to Be The Lover, then we must all return to the Life and the Promise of the Soul.”
Some ask me where I am, others ask me what am I doing, while others make up their own mind about who, where and what I am about. It is the common assumption that if we know a bunch of conditional facts about someone then we know that person. In our spiritual laziness we then constantly fact-checking with each other, ‘getting to know’ and ‘catching up’. As much as this line of inquiry may very well be part of our expression of caring for one another, or as it is so very often argued, of ‘getting to know’ each other, it cannot move us beyond the mere conditional level of accounting of our-self.
Ahh, as I wander aimlessly, and yet am steadfastly watchful, through these past days, I am more aware than ever of Life’s forever Appearing and Disappearing Play and I feel that It is taking me into Its arms with hyperbolic speed. And here, in The Very Soul of ‘I’, of ‘You’, even if people did know ‘where’ you are, do they really know where you are? Do they really know what you are? Do they really know who you are? Well, do you really know where and what and who you are?
Over these days and nights as I set myself adrift for a while, I am being constantly reminded that I must continually examine myself, continually redefine and clarify the purpose of my relatedness to all, otherwise the patterns of one or another habit will take hold.
It is imperative to remain Open, by which I mean Being with no cultural, personal or social prejudice, no judgements of right or wrong that may inhibit another’s Self-Discovery. If one is to Serve the Awakening and coming forth of the Unconditional Soul through the individual, such a one must remain Open as a conduit to a Higher dimension, to the dimension just beyond knowledge, experience, conditional facts and so forth. One must remain Open to a dimension of In-Sight that is usually inaccessible to others.
Beloved, it is true to say that during these times I have moments when a heavy enigma descends on my Soul; one, that sometimes, against whatever Will I bring to its dissolution, I cannot shortly absent myself from. And it is just as well, for in these times of Heart-sickness I do not desire a pick-me-up antibiotic – a new and exciting consolation. Such a thing would only weaken and degrade the essential on-going evolution of Emotional Intelligence that Life has implanted in ‘I’, and all for Its Own Sake.
Dearest Hearts, I think of you all who desire to submit to the Master-ship of the Soul, to the Core Essence of every human being, the very Source and Brightness of our Emotional Intelligence, to the Greatest aspect of our Intelligence. Worldly intellect, as much as it is appropriate in the world, is only a fraction of our Full Intelligence, our Emotional Intelligence. Beloved, know well that this is the Greatest Revolution – the Soul’s Emotional Intelligence over the mind’s worldly intellect.
For each of us who take up this Radical Revolution it will have many difficulties, many set-backs, all kinds of trials and tribulations that must be endured and released. You see, from a very young age the intellect aspect of our Soul’s Whole-bodily Intelligence has been targeted, inflated, tested and measured so that we have become centred and identified in the mind. Beloved, it is true that the mind is afraid of the Truth of You: The Soul.
I have no desire whatsoever to stand apart from my own species, nor to be in any way a confronting iconoclast or an existential threat to anyone at all. However I may be interpreted by others, my interactions with my fellow humans are not a confrontation for the sake of control or superiority, they are not for proof of right or wrong, win or lose and so on, rather they are an invitation to Awaken. My interactions serve to exercise the inherent Inner Courage required to Live the One Life Imprinted in us to Be, long before any outer worldly mind imprinted any conditional identity.
I have no malefic intention with anyone at all. If I have hurt or offended anyone, and I am sure that I have, for how does one unwrap the living dead without taking some skin? Especially when many are claiming to be lovers while embalmed in self-pity.
The Soul or Spiritual Reality of the physical body is the Spiritual Master. The Soul, the Spiritual Reality of the physical dimension, is the Hallowed Shrine of the Living God Life-Force, and its Circumference (if you please) includes the Body and potentially all the forms of the physical dimension. Therefore it is the human Spirit, the Soul, that must be awakened, healed and restored to Its Rightful Mastership of the body before we can create Relationships that include the body-mind while continuing to expand us beyond it, and into the Souls Freedom - before physical death. This is the Way of the Lover.
Beloved, I have moments and days, like today, when I feel the exceedingly simple and elegant illumination and mercy of the Soul - the beyond-all-conditions Light of the Soul – and in that Clarity, I also witness the travesty and the tragedy that we make of our Life. Many do not love with Love, they love with pity, they love with fear, they love with consolation for themselves, they love with hope, they love with greed, they love with sexual desire, they love with the desire to be loved and approved… and around and around we go….
Dearest Beloved Hearts, the Essence of Spiritual-Life-Identity-Feeling has nothing to do with reasoning, it has nothing to do with working things out, with a problem solved and so forth. The Truth of You resides in the Soul. If we are to Be The Lover, then we must all return to the Life and the Promise of the Soul.
