            When I go into complete quiet, there is a blank screen with no borders; a darkness which is in itself the other side of light, and therefore it is light. It is a canvas of emptiness, full of potential. As soon as something arises, the face of Donald Trump or a comical something which seems like a lower astral figure, - there is a blip, a disturbance in this zero point field, this blank and peaceful and blank canvas. And thus manifestation out of potential – … Continue Reading

God created sound, but needs sound in order to realize His/Her/Its capacity to create. And so it is throughout the Cosmos, - the Creator needs the created as well as the created needs the Creator. And so it is with all of us. We create in impression on somebody else, just as we are the subjects of another’s influence. But insofar as we influence others, they reflect back to us our power as well as our creative influence. And so, pari-passu, we realize our susceptibility to being … Continue Reading

From Sri Aurobindo: The Life Divine: (page 580):

Attention is the servant of Tapas, concentration of energy in one particular action or body or object means that all else is excluded.  This means that attention is focused, concentrated, on that particular thing.  Again, attention is the vivifying force.

It is true that where we place our attention - that lives. Consciousness is all around us, within us, and ready to precipitate into awareness. Attention precipitates it, just like adding a crystal of salt to a supersaturated solution.

I notice that when I fall into meditation and go deeper, I am sucked into a dream. At this point I am traveling through a tunnel to another dimension, and if I go far enough it is sealed off from the waking consciousness.

For example, my patient KL, who wanted to do hypnosis and went deep. At a certain point I noticed that she was different, almost father off. I asked what was happening. She said she was going deeper, deeper. I told … Continue Reading

Do not believe in what you have heard; do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe anything because it is rumored and spoken of by many; do not believe merely because the written statement of some old sage is produced; do not believe conjectures; do not believe merely in the authority of your teachers and elders. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

And here–we listen to … Continue Reading

“I am here, only to be truly helpful.

I am here to represent You Who sent me.

I don’t have to worry about what to say or what to do, for You who sent me will direct me.

I’m content to be wherever You wish, knowing You go there with me.

I will be healed as I let You teach me to heal.”

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

“I AM”

I was listening to myself as I silently recited my prayer:
“I am a point of light within a greater Light,
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love Divine
I am a point of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery Will of God
And thus I stand.

I am a way by which men may achieve
I am a source of strength enabling them to stand
I am a beam of light shining upon their way
And thus I stand.

And standing thus revolve and tread this way
The ways of men
And know the ways of God
And thus … Continue Reading

And listen again, and carefully in these times of trial and terror and conflict, of evil trying to possess us, while we join with the Light to find our way, to a:

Jewish Prayer for Peace

Come, let us go up to the mountain of

The Lord, that we may walk the

Paths of the Most High

And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares,

And our spears into pruning hooks.

Nation shall not life up sword against nation

Neither shall they learn war any more.

And non shall be afraid, for the mouth of the

Lord of Hosts has spoken.
