Spiritual Practice is the Practice of Direct Communion with the Spiritual Reality

Spiritual Practice is the Practice of Direct Communion with the Spiritual Reality, the Free Being Self. It is not something you apply to or enact upon yourself. Direct Communion meaning without the middle person - the egoic-self. 

Spiritual Practice is not anything you apply to your current idea of yourself. It does not matter what you do to that self. The one that is not currently Living the Present Truth Condition must get out of the way. It is the Transcendence of that self, the moving beyond that self that must occur in order to be in Direct Communion with the Spiritual Reality Self of All. 

Spiritual Life is not “something” the egoic-self can initiate or experience. The Spiritual Realization of Life is a Spontaneous Experience (not a strategy of the personal-self, the egoic-self, the seeking-self) in every moment that the egoic-self is Surrendered or Transcended or Love-Fully Sacrificed. 

Spiritual Practice is not a matter of applying any kind of technique or meditation or exotic circumstance to your self – the current idea or presumption you have of your self. 

The Practice is located and motivated in the Relationship to and with the Divine Life Condition (or Unproblematic Life Consciousness). 

Therefore, until that Unproblematic Life Consciousness becomes a stable Realisation, the Practice is moment-to- moment transcendence or renunciation of the self-confined conditional consciousness, the problematic consciousness – the seeking consciousness. 
After all, the problematic Consciousness is not True of You. 

When humans turn only to themselves and their own individual self-condition – their own desires, their own birth and death, their own story, their own limited and mortal mechanism – they suffer the loss of Heart Vitality or Divine Conscious Vitality. 

As a result of our withdrawal from our Ultimate Life Relationship – our retreat into and fear driven obsession with a personalised separate self being - our human bodily life and its relationships become animated by mortal serious consciousness; that is - fear, doubt, cynicism, anxiety, self-defence, self-preservation, self-sorrow and all manner of relationship complexities. 

Generally, people want to practice something they can “do” to themselves, their self in its current state. Many people merely desire to belong to or be associated with one or other of the forms of spiritual practice commonly considered “the highest.” The seeker or egoic-consciousness prefers this way, as she or he can remain in charge of her/his fundamental, separate conscious identity, while all the time claiming some kind of “my practice is the way” or “I am a sannyasin of so and so.” The ego’s clever way of remaining in charge. 

People want to feel Enlightened before they have become consumed in Love. Life, Truth, Love, the Real is the Present Reality. The Present Reality is not conditional upon this belief or that behaviour, this philosophy or any particular method of practice. 
It is already and always the Present Reality. 

And yet, the common practice (by whatever name) is to seek the Truth Condition. Is it not absurd to seek that which is already Present? Furthermore, the seeker holds onto his or her form of spiritual practice as an identity, much as a person holds onto their cultural identity. Any critical Insight or goad to move beyond that identity is received as an attack on their Life. 

It is not uncommon for someone to claim they practice one or other form of Non-Dualism or transcendental yoga or meditation. Often, just to mention these terms is enough to stay unchallenged by any further inquiry. There are as many forms of spiritual seeking practice as there are peculiarities of egoic unhappiness. 

It does not matter whether you are practising Advaita Vedanta or Transcendental Enlightenment - it is a matter of whether Advaita Vedanta or Transcendental Enlightenment is practising you. When the Truth Condition is practising You, you are not in the picture. So, who is left to say he or she practises Advaita Vedanta or Transcendental Enlightenment? Furthermore, whatever your spiritual practice is, what is the basis of your relationship with another and all? 

It is not your meditation that matters. 
Present Truth or Love must meditate you, until you are dissolved into the stable Realisation or Whole Bodily Living Expression of Truth or Love: the Condition IT Self. 

The Practice is the Practice of the Relationship to and with the Inherently Unproblematic Spirit-Self through Direct Communion or True Engagement with One who is Living in and through that Conscious State. 

Without the Transcendental Spirit Demand of Direct Living Relationship with such a One, we employ and manipulate our personal-self, our egoic-self, in all manner of practices we like to call spiritual practice. 

In other words, the actual method we commonly use to Realise the Truth Condition or Real Happiness is unhappiness. It does not matter what the name of the practice is, the technique or the human-only psychology of the practice. Its underlying method is the same; unhappiness. 

Spiritual Life will not be delivered to us via our human-centric psychology, no matter how plausible it might sound. These are all excuses used to avoid the necessary Devotion or Surrender of the limited body/mind mechanism to the Condition on which it depends, and which is therefore the Truth Condition or Very Reality of the body/mind. 

You cannot come into Direct Communion with the Spiritual Reality via or through the unhappy self, the egoic-self. It will not matter what you practice or what you think or how much you contort yourself; the underlying method is unhappiness. This is why so few Truly Realise the Freedom of the Spiritual Being in the midst of all conditions and relations. 

This being so, there seems to be a refusal by many of us to submit our seeker’s consciousness, our egoic or separate self-consciousness, in order to enter into Relationship with the Present Truth Reality Condition. Rather than moment-to-moment ego-surrender (motivated and sustained by the Love Attraction to be in Direct Relationship with the Present Truth Condition) the common method is to use our seeker’s consciousness, our separate-self identity to practise one form or another of so-called spiritual practice. 

A Woman or Man whose Consciousness is in the stable Realisation of the Truth Condition may compassionately consent to offer a Direct Living Relationship in and through that State of Consciousness. 

Spiritual Realisers, who offer to make their Human Life available to others, do so on the basis that people Turn to the Realiser’s Conscious State. Why? Because it is in this way that one begins to Recognise one’s own Inherent Free State of Consciousness. 

There is no search involved. In fact, the search is the obstruction and the rejection of that Direct Relationship. 

The Spiritual Adept is not engaging you on the basis of a conventional friendship or any kind of conventional relationship. Conventional relationship means a relationship within the search, within the often non-verbal agreement that both parties are on a journey, exploring the possibilities of happiness or Enlightenment. The conventional relationship is one wherein we each, or all, agree to work at generating the happiness or love we want. 

The search for Happiness or Love is the main enterprise of humans; it is the basic human convention and so often it is the method people want to use with their Spiritual Adept “Teachers.” 

The proof (if required) of how we identify with different states of Consciousness lies in our childhood and how we duplicated the state of those we first came into relationship with. 
Our own particular Conscious conditioning is the result of coming into relationship (at a very early stage of human development) with those who represented an anxious, fearful, doubtful Conscious state. 

The Relationship the Renunciate Heart calls people into is the Relationship to and in Consciousness, prior to any problem or dilemma you feel and think now. Just so, if you are to enter into this Direct Relationship, this Life-Communion, you must move beyond merely wanting to be repaired from the effects of the constant round of unhappiness, cynicism, doubt, worthlessness, disappointments and frustrations of the egoic-self and it’s search. 

You must be prepared to put down the personal-self- search, on the understanding it is the one and only obstruction to your Whole-Hearted Engagement in and with your prior Full and Unproblematic Consciousness. 

The Renunciate Spiritual Adept does not teach, nor does She or He promote something you can then go away and “do to yourself.” She or He does not teach or prescribe any behaviours (no matter how much they have been associated with spiritual practice) that one can “do” to oneself. 
It will not matter a damn what you do to yourself while you remain outside the Great Relationship to and with the always-Present Life Reality that is the Free Being of All. 

The True Renunciate Heart offers the Greatest Gift of all - a Direct Relationship, a mutually ego-surrendered Relationship – therefore a Relationship already Presently in Your own Inherent Free Consciousness. 

What is called the Teaching of a Spiritual Adept is, in Truth, the Expression of the Relationship. However, it seems most people prefer to hold onto their self and follow a teaching or a method they can apply to themselves. It never winds up in the Present Realization of the Truth Condition because its fundamental method is unhappiness trying to realise the always-Present Happy Love-Full Reality. 

Yes, Direct Relationship is Unusual, Profound, Unreasonable, Grace-Full and Wild. And, it can be difficult from the very beginning because it is about Waking Up from our unconsciousness, our false egoic idea of self: a Waking Up and moving beyond the closely held presumptions of our conditioned mind. It is so often rejected because we are not prepared to move beyond our seeking-self motive. 

For many, the Direct Relationship – Direct Communion in and with the Spiritual Truth Condition - is too threatening. 
It is, of course, unsafe relative to one’s private self-search and also because it requires us to drop our self-defence. 

The State of Consciousness of the Realised Being, the Renunciate, is the prior State of Consciousness – the State before the conditioning of family, society, culture or religion. The State of Consciousness before It was submitted into the problem… the dilemmas unenlightened humans have made as their way of life. 

The Spiritual Renunciate offers the Great Relationship to those who truly wish or desire to turn to them - She or He being the State of Consciousness they Live. It is the Relationship It Self – the Relationship that is not problem based, not search based, not less-than-you-think based, not unenlightened based – that is the Practice. 
It is the Relationship with and in Your Inherent Spirit Self Identity that must become the Life and Grace and Force of
Your Human-ness.
