The Silhouette Of Spirit

The silhouette of spirit is like a woman's heart; you advance by treading softly as you exchange expressions of mutual surrender. To progress through the path of intimacy you must engage your love with delicacy.  You cannot be forceful, as force is a prosecution of your present limited scope of identity. Like a seed that must crack open in order to develop into something expansive, fragrant and lush, spiritual advancement requires letting go of what was in order to cultivate a romance with the emergence of realization to come.

To engage the latent resources of your soul you must share from a place of devotional surrender. This means levelling the barriers that separate you from your eternal nature. You must bravely free the weights of limiting thoughts and indictments to clear a path to the deepest recesses of your heart. This is the space for true spiritual communion and transcendence. 

It is in the darkness of the unrealized that you must beseech your beloved and share an unwavering love to unite. It is from the pit of such depths that your reach will grace the mystique of the unknown resources of your soul. She is always steps ahead of your present scope understanding and beyond the grasp of your minds prevailing definitions. Therefore, you must surrender and treasure her. Celebrate her by providing her with the room to reciprocate your authenticity.

Through routine spiritual dedication that cultivate genuine expressions of true surrender you will prepare place for her to assent and commune.Gradually, she will help you shed your biases and paint your perception with a merciful hue. She will uplift the structures of your awareness by bathing you with tender inspirations that free your mind to realize heightened perspectives. In the throws of her clutch, she will revive your heart with heightened expression and reorient your thoughts for harmony to reign.

Paradoxical

All sacred rites evoke a perspective of paradox to catalyze a greater convergence between realized and unrealized poles of Divinity.

Linear consciousness witnesses all that occurs as proceeding from a serial progression. Every effect is driven by a prior cause. The linear perspective predicates that the more we can account for causes, the more rigidly we can determine a given outcome. Although this perspective has helped revolutionize the many mechanical feats for obtaining dominion over nature, it is dangerously a deterministic model that leaves no room for the soul. Its perspective fuels cultural ideologies that suffocate sovereign choice and creativity. It favours a cold and calculated worldview and a ceaseless appetite for control; but has no place for love.

Beyond the constrains of linear consciousness, notions like past, present and future fold upon themselves to reveal a singularly sovereign current. Along this stream, a future event can profoundly rearrange all that proceeded it, just as past momentum obfuscates that same event from dawning to fruition. A sovereign awareness between these poles of momentum can resolve the friction and generate more unified momentum. Additionally, a consciousness that exists outside the confines of the entire construct can be summoned to help orchestrate trajectories that recalibrate the poles to reduce overall friction for a more fluid expression. Such processes were evoked by sages through dedication they called the re-unification of the Divine Name.

Secrets Of Passion

To give arise to individuality, creation introduced a polarizing lens to govern awareness. The polarizing lens works as a filter, splicing perceived divinity through a spectrum of “otherness”. This filter of “otherness” optimized creation into medium where emotional distance, void and isolation can be experienced. 

It is for this reason that the great mystics considered this material world to be a prized missing jewel to fix atop the crown of creative achievement. It is because within this context of perceived separateness, we can realize the fullness of the divine light by summoning in profound expressions reconnection and communion. All of the energetic creative expressions that push and pull for linear dominance over the awareness of man are all secretly yearning for this solution. 

Just as some colors in a rainbow’s spectrum are visible to the naked-eye and while others remain hidden; some overtly seek such communion, while others furtively orchestrate the very torque that helps galvanize its’ authentic achievement. They are like juxtaposed gears of a single clockwork, awarded complimentary roles that support conditions for orchestrating a reunification of the “lost sparks of Divinity”. Consider this deeply; all are innately yearning to be restored to wholeness. 

While isolation in of itself, directs a heart’s passions towards resentments, apathy and rage; embracing the creative purpose for separateness will help you achieve the opposite effect. By embracing separateness as the very structure through which to cultivate your heart’s authenticity, the passions that arises will launch you to more expansive expressions of your greater soul’s intimacy. Thereby, the ingathering of “passion” is the very fuel that launches transcendence beyond the polarizing filters of “otherness”. This is the true meaning of spiritual formula: “Love thy brother as you love thyself!” 

Fuel can be used to launch and propel, but if it is used primitively it can prove both explosive and volatile. It is the same with passion. Passion can fuel a launch into expanded horizons of awareness, but when violently handled, results can be prove devastatingly explosive. A true spiritualist secures their passion by propelling it through the expansive arc of their soul’s benevolence. Such passion is uplifted in a light of lasting purpose. This passion is secure from the traps of contention and considerations of pedigree. It will restore your perceptions in a light of eternal consequence.

Spiritual Romance

Spiritual Romance

The spiritual masters related to their unrealized aspects of soul in romantic terms. As such, they painstakingly safeguarded the honor of their soul’s authenticity. They romanced their soul’s in this way through the darkness that called “night” and regaled it at the breaking light of realizations they called “day”. They understood that to properly draw forth their soul’s ingenuity it is essential to develop an intimacy with their soul’s intrinsic mystique.

Relationships that imbue a consonance of true intimacy are fortified by mutual trust. More than a passing faith, it is steadfastness that can only be achieved by an uncompromising loyalty. Only in this way can a expression of intimacy be truly shared as equals; eye to eye. When teaching secrets to the soul, they implored their students that each compromise to their soul’s authenticity was a akin to betraying their beloved. That each incursion of this trust erects a wall of spite. They explained that your beloved calls out to you, awaiting to be freed from bondage behind these walls. That she awaits the champion of her heart, to be reunited in True Love’s embrace.

This is why popular fairytales are replete with stories of brave princes who must find true love by slaying a dragon to secure their imprisoned beloved. It is because these mythos tap into a fundamental vein of existential truth. That each individual must slay a fire breathing dragon within that tries to claim dominion over their heart. Breath alludes to living vitality, and fire alludes to cruelty. Allusions to fire breathing sieges imply a surrendering of the heart’s authenticity to a conquest of reductionistic assault. It is then that eternal considerations grow dim and the latent resources of the soul are bound behind walls of disillusionment and fury. Chaste in her loyalty, she awaits for her beloved to slay the accuser and scale the rubble of apathy and deceit that envelop the heart. In this way, consciousness can draw forth the eternal light of wholeness, and secure the soul’s authenticity so that True Love can reign again.

Riding The Waves

The circuit of your life’s journey is connected by points of greater convergence. These are passages of amplified authenticity. Many see these passages as defining. They call them “moments of truth”. These portals of heightened realization transform your awareness into a higher range of beingness. It feels like being kissed by the momentum of an underlying wholeness. Gradually your soul reveals itself in ways that summon restorative consequence.

Natural order is designed to continually challenge each individual at the crux of their existential bias. This means that there are creative aspects of your soul’s divine nature that you elevate and other aspects that you repress. To the degree that you limit your creative light from seamlessly flowing within, is the degree to which natural order will gravitate restriction upon your experience in ways that entrench you in challenge and limitation. The solution is rooted in these moments of transcendent clarity. They release restorative passions that lead you to the achievement of greater authenticity.

As you stake claim to your points of inspiration, you can direct its restorative rush into a greater passion. It is at this apex of passion that you must break the co-dependent cycle of extending your energy to coping strategies for greater endurance and surrender to the overarching waves of grace. Like a child who finds serenity in a parents’ arms, you will journey assuredly in this embrace of greater realization.

There are those at the ocean’s banks who fear being swallowed by the waves, and there are those who seek and revel atop the waves. The difference between those who fear and those who revel in the waves is that those that revel in the waves know how to ride the waves. They revel because they have mastered how to recalibrate their approach so they discover euphoria on top of the waves. The greater the wave, the greater their ascent and its’ successive rush. Those the fear the waves, do not seek to find balance with them and therefore must retreat or get swept up in their undertow.

Consciousness is a vast ocean of unexplored potentials. Those who cower in the shadow of their potential are most apt to get swept up in unforgiving waves of consequence. Spiritual discipline is a rubric for venturing out into the sea of your soul’s potential and learning how to ride each wave of inspiration by harmonizing it in the realization of your soul’s greater benevolence.

Utopia

The spiritual realization of wholeness was called by spiritual masters "harmony", "balance", "beauty"; but most fundamentally for our times, "peace". Peace is an expression of honouring the respective roles that together support conditions for imbuing diversity with the spirit of the realized "whole". In the ancient tongue, the words for "peace" and for wholeness were interchangeable. In today's age we have lost this subtle truth, and so in many ways "peace" continues to elude us.

When people perceive themselves as disconnected, and living in a world of seemingly disparate parts it is because they are far from finding wholeness within their own hearts. If their hearts know not the language of wholeness, then they invariably become part of the mechanism that suppresses a greater universal peace abound. 

For our world to achieve a lasting peace there needs to be an internal appreciation of the sacred roles respective parties contribute towards setting conditions for authentic expression and meaningful achievement. This involves a realization that within every synergetic process some roles are conducted overtly and others more covertly, and with it an appreciation of all the contributing parties. This appreciation, prepares conditions for authentic exchange and cross-polinization that bridges the honour of nations, peoples and cultures. It is an appreciation that creates the space for greater communion and spiritual interdependence. It affirms a trust for cultivating transformation; the spirit of mutual surrender involved in growing into becoming part of something so much more. 

As societies grow increasingly complex they tend to attach greater weight to externalities that secure advantages of facility and rank. It is within this external social arena that imbalance erupts most vividly. Left unaddressed, injustices foster civil contention and social instability. Spiritual disciplines assert that the underlying origins of all external disparity, and social jostling are rooted in underlying corruptions to the architecture of more intrinsic processes. 

The soul is eternal. When activated, its' eternal resonance permeates through the veneer of temporary considerations that obfuscate eternal realizations. Like a lighthouse that shines a beacon to cut through a dense fog to guide wayfarers home, the soul's eternal perspective charges life with vision and re-sensitizes global consciousness. Together these rebalance societies in ways that support individual exceptionalism, without detracting from an ingrained reverence for the greater welfare of society. This synergetic balance prepares individuals and their societies to seek and attain new solutions that transform limitations that had previously handicapped personal and global arenas. It is a society that fosters synergistic partnerships by honouring the diverse sectors that contribute to an advancing culture. It is a civilization where the young honour their elderly and the elderly remain vital by holding sacred the possibilities of youth. Economies and policy in such societies are not governed by the jostling of competing interests, but by a deep sense of duty for fulfilling their soul's authentic mandate and remaining ever cognizant of the higher restorative balance at play in every "giver" and "taker" dynamic.

A soul is part of network that circulates an eternal vitality through the worlds of limitation. Each soul fulfills a distinct role in enhancing diverse creative expression and in fulfilling a more realized unity. It is impossible to truly compare one soul to another because each soul is an eternity expression that is infinite. Linear mathematics, form and logic cannot compute eternal variables;

1+1= 2
1-1= 0

but,

∞+∞=∞
∞-∞=∞

There can be no hierarchies within the mathematics of eternal variables. Reductionistic logic cannot take hold amidst an arena of eternal consideration. When an individual is spiritually active they connect in an eternal way and thereby reveal themselves as being fundamentally incomparable. It is only through a guise of temporal binds that the eternal soul can ever become stifled with notions of competition and hierarchy.

Just as a particle physicist observes atomic particles in all structures to be at balance between fields of stasis and chaos, a spiritual master witnesses individuals as being at balance between the pull a of an over-arching harmonization and the push from fields diversifying form. Spiritual disciplines cultivate equanimity because they restore awareness with eternal consequence. Each soul is revealed as a resonant creative channel integral to the harmonization of all the other spectrums of creation into a greater light of heightened realization.

Recipe for Peace

The premise of spirituality is that all of creation is a synergetic dance. Its' ebb and flow drives perpetual exchange. Every giver is simultaneously receiving, and every receiver is simultaneously giving. While one process is achieved overtly, the other remains shrouded in mystique. Spirituality is the discipline for pulling back the curtain of mystery in ways that restore the architecture of the balance into realization.

Consider someone who gives a gift to another. To the untrained eye the receiver is returning nothing in exchange. However, a seasoned spiritualist realizes that the receiver is extending the gift of giving. By granting the gift of giving to the giver, the receiver bestows a gift that is spiritually affirming.

Most relate to the Divine as a benevolent giver of life. When someone is afforded a gift of giving, they are being extended a medium through which they can incorporate an active flow of this aspect Divinity. Spiritually, this equivalence of expression activates a shared vibrancy; a powerful wavelength for creative eros. This momentum propels the giver closer to the Divinity of their own soul. This is why giving warms the heart. It is why despite being wired by evolutionary circuitry that awards conquest, the spirit of humanity continue to arise with a generous spirit.

Spiritualists see receiving in a very different way than the common man. They see receiving as a playing a constructive role in amplifying the underlying unity. When receiving, they focus their heart's intention to dedicate the act in ways that spiritually affirm respective roles contributing to interconnectedness. Such honouring of the respective roles imbues diversity with a realized spirit of the "whole". This spiritual recipe for wholeness can be called "harmony", "balance", "beauty"; but most fundamentally for our times, "peace".

For our world to achieve a lasting peace there needs to be an internal appreciation of the sacred roles respective parties contribute towards setting conditions for authentic expression and meaningful achievement. This appreciation, prepares conditions for authentic exchange and cross-polinization that bridges the honour of nations, peoples and cultures. It is an appreciation that creates the space for greater communion and spiritual interdependence. It affirms the trust that cultivates transformation through the mutual surrender involved in growing into becoming part of something so much more.
