Painting Sikh History: Guru Nanak

All spiritual teachers ask you to have strong belief in God. How can you believe in something which you have never realized yourself directly in your life? Beneath your belief there will be a strong non-belief always because you have never realized the truth yourself directly. Don’t you see- almost everyone thinks of oneself to be a theist; but in-fact nobody relies on God. Let me tell you very frankly the spiritual guru who asks you to believe in God without making you directly realize God, he/she can never make you realize God. In fact they themselves have never realized God. Why do you need to believe in something which is the supreme truth? You need to realize it directly with your own perception; you don’t need to believe it blindly.

Okay, so my experience is not with a Christian angel, but with an excellent guide and protector from the Buddhist tradition. I have this Tibetan Buddhist deity practice that I find very helpful to me as he has helped me out through many problems and issues, over and over again, through my depression, my fallout with society and such, but he is currently being banned by the Dalai Lama and his practitioners are being prosecuted in Dharamsala.

Angelic communication about the assistance and guidance available to us if we pay attention to the numbers where we are living as they are keys to what is to be resolved during our stay there. Especially important this weekend.

What better way to begin a new journey towards the search for meaningful purpose than to ask the ultimate, sometimes pretentious, clichéd, pseudo-intelligenciated, (is that even a word?) soul-torturing, self-important, self-flagellating, existentialist of all existential questions?

We arrive here in this world from where we dont know. We have thoughts of where possibly but beliefs are not Knowledge. ....so the Questions may start with: Where did we come from? The next Question might be: Why are we here? (in this Mystery?) I mean we dont get born with instructions of any type, no clues, just a blank silence. Then I asked myself: What am I to do while here in this world? Finally: Where do we go to after our ceasing life in this dimension and form?? It is a glaring light that focuses on the fact that most people never give it much thought. It seems we are mostly in some kind of denial or trance that doesnt allow for most to even ask these Questions, let alone try and answer them. As for me it has been an under-current of my entire life, asking these to myself. Always ending in a sort of silence, which is no answers. Is the clue to these Questions hidden in the absence of answers? Am I to deduce the message of an answer by the silence and no response? I dont know.....thats the one thing I do know. It is that I dont know really anything. The more I learn, the more I realise more my great ignorance. It is then when realization sets in that I am more ignorant than I thought.... Just a Thought

Have you ever caught yourself looking for something to be mad at? Or disappointed in? Or unhappy with? Have you ever woke up happy, but then immediately, you went into your head? The rest of the day was spent trying to get out of your head? Have you ever caught these moments? These moments are the most crucial, tiniest moments where you allow yourself to get swept away by your mind, and if you have programmed yourself to be unhappy, sad, lonely, worrisome or angry-you will look to get your 'fix'. Everyday, a new thing to be unhappy about. Because imagine if you did not have these things to be bothered about? Life would be perfect. Happy. Easy. Flow. Relaxing and get it all done. But, that would be too good for you right? You cant have it too good, you never saw anyone else around you have that...why should you? It's not reality, right? Well, your reality is whatever reality you want. You are trying to control your environment all the time anyway, aren't you? So, why can't you control your mind instead and create a life that is more 'you'. And the more 'you' is peaceful and happy isn't it? Catch yourself in these moments. Catch yourself going from happy and content and then you 'start' to look for something that is not what you like, what you want, or how it 'should be'...something to upset about. Catch yourself robbing yourself from joy. Causing others something to deal with in you, instead of creating an environment of joy. Is it really worth getting upset over? Isn't it more fruitful to be happy and content and find your excitement and thrill in being curious and in awe? Instead of getting your 'fix' in your usual judgement and upsets? Now, you don't have to ever be upset again...unless you want to because you like it. : )

Is negativity a cloud that hangs over you? Are you fearful about what is going on in the world now? Do you feel that no matter what you do, in the end you feel empty inside? Do you feel like there is something missing in your life, a desire that never gets fulfilled? More money, drugs, sex, power, religion, food, tv, movies, addictive behaviors, negative emotions, houses, marriage, kids, pets, toys, fun, career and on and on and on since time began. http://lightofatlantis.com"

If you are alive right now in these times, then it means you have great potential. Right now we need elevated consciousness more than ever. We cannot go it alone. With bombs being thrown all over around, it is a time like no other to awaken from slumber.

If there is a hell, this must be it. People who don’t believe in God (& some who do) always say if God is so loving then why is there so much suffering here? Well, this is a place of learning and correction. And this place is not the end all of our existence. It is just the starting point. We evolve as spirit while we are here in flesh. http://lightofatlantis.com

I don't mean like hearing voices but more like thinking about things and questioning yourself? Or going over an important decision that you have to make again and again? This kind of conversation with yourself will not help you to solve your problems or make good decisions and is not productive or helpful. What is going on is that your hidden sub-conscious mind is and you conscious mind are having an argument. This is caused by negative programing that we have all been subjected to in one form or another. It could have been as innocent as your parents saying no over all the years of your childhood or as sinister as having suffered childhood abuse or even abuse as an adult. No matter what form it took, over the years it was written into your subconscious mind as negative reinforcement and programming.

A sliver of a thought…Follow every possibility "In any one instance of time, no such thing as a problem can exist. Unhappiness arises from going beyond the reality of the Now and creating a story out of the past or the future that because neither exists, has no reality. The true source of joy and happiness is the realization of one's existence in this very moment…" --- Dr. David Hawkins Useful Thinking is Asking Useful Questions So……in a spiritual level I ask myself: What is useful for me to be thinking now? What can I do now for better opportunities? Where are better opportunities right now? What should I do? What could I do? What leads my Imagination? What questions show me toward Light? Following every possibility requires we think in new directions with new questions. It requires we continually ask the same great questions over and over throughout the week. Some days there will be no answers, other days the answers will be in multiples.  But if we don't ask, we don't get answers; and following every possibility means we need answers.  "God will out-wit our limitation." --- M. Williams

Paying attention to, and developing Intuition, is the primary stage of Intuitive living. The later stages of Intuitive living transcend reason completely and make the practitioner ONE with the divine intelligence. On the path to Intuitive living, there are several blocks that be dissolved with the sheer will, to experience this flow of divine wisdom at all times … ..................... Intuition is a flash and an illumination, it bestows full transcendental wisdom. It is a criterion of truth. It ought not to be mistaken for the faculty of reasoning that we have. An immediate intuitive experience vanishes the moment we are overwhelmed with by reasoning or when we make the sense perception as the only test of truth. Intuition is infallible; intellect guesses, believes, desires … Intuition flashes; while intellect struggles with glimmerings of knowledge … Intuition in time becomes eternity; there are distinctions of past present and future in Intellect … Intuition in space becomes infinity; intellect is bound to dimensions of length breath and height … Reason conceptually constructs knowledge; intuition apprehends in immediacy the essence of things … Reason studies the superficies of the objects of knowledge; intuition experiences the very heart and truth of things … Reason reasons about things; intuition grasps and experiences the very life of things … ....................... The foundation of Rational knowledge is brittle, the conclusions of reasoning can never be uniform; hence reason has no sure basis; despite all its strength, it cannot upset the conclusions of dynamic spiritual teachings which are founded on the infallible and authoritive wisdom of transcendental experiences. ...................... The mortal, finite, limited senses and the intellect cannot comprehend the Reality which is immortal and all-pervading. A sage in his flight of intuition ascends to that supramental region where he experiences the Absolute, and this super-conscious experience is, in its nature, very vivid, vital and vibrant. It is intensely real to the one who experiences… .................... What is reality and what is unreality, which of the intuitive flashes should one believe in and which considered unreal; these are the first blocks that the intellect creates. An intuition in itself, is divine guesswork to the logical mind. The logical mind knows how to frame things in limited dimensions , it comprehends with the data it already has within the memory . Intuition on the other hand taps into the higher realm to grasp and understand that which is RIGHT for THAT moment. It sometimes falls in the ‘ wrong guesswork ’ as says the logical mind. ..................... I wish to share a beautiful experience with you : Although I discourage participating in debates, or to argue the validity of intuition with those who are critical about the existence of this divine ability, an experience like this sometimes just comes over oneself unguarded :) Out of the four names of men, given to me at one time, by a critic to ‘guess’ which of them was dead, I was ridiculed when I pointed that one name which was of a man who was alive. I was also told immediately that all the four men were very much alive. Quiet a shame in a gathering it can be when someone gets an opportunity to laugh at such abilities. As a matter of surprise to those who informed me later ( I was not surprised), the man whose name was pointed as dead then, actually died in the coming 6 months. .......................... The example is cited to draw the attention to the fact that those who wish to flow and bask in the light of Intuition, be prepared, to be ridiculed, laughed at and even put down from your present stature of having a pure intent at all times. Mistakes which are, are apparent, and HAVE a deeper cosmic sense, we may understand or not understand at that time. Failures on the path to intuitive living, are apparently on the present time-line, they are NOT failures in the limitless realm. The reins of the Ego be held tight especially when there is praise, and our intuitive experiences are praised to the sky; a smile be worn when they APPEAR wrong. Those who wish to suspend themselves on this living, be prepared to let the cosmos oscillate you from one end to the other , before it settles you down in a thin but sure flow of the divine intelligence. ............................. the mistakes thereafter are ‘his’ and the praises thereafter , are all ‘his’ . The intuitive then becomes a pendulum himself, in the hands of the divine; he oscillates as the higher forces wish to, at THAT time, to indicate what is needed in that time line and situation. He remains unaffected being extolled or by being deprecated … Intuitive living is surrendered living.
