All the World is a Stage

An instructive work once written in the 15th century shared in regards to the disciplining of children -- to never discipline a child out of anger. A parent may pretend to be angry to emphasize a point but to never actually do so in anger. That if a parent was angry then that parent should postpone disciplining until such time they were no longer actually angry.

I believe this is because anger is a consuming force that spreads indiscriminately by consuming gentleness in others and turning hearts into husks of callousness. And so by parenting in anger -- the child will learn to create with anger and grow internally callous and hollow. A child will not be shepherded into a path of conscientious adulthood through commands and hostility -- but rather by inspiring a culture of authentic care -- and genuineness.

There are times in life when we must play a roles to achieve a desired outcome -- but a growth oriented soul mustn't lose themselves in the roles that they play. The ancient mystics imparted how our worldly experience is like a drama with a growth oriented choreography. But, that an aspirant will miss their mark and forget to grow if they identify too much with the dimming veils and roles they hide behind. It is therefore essential for any growth oriented person to dedicate their attention to routine mindfulness exercises to to get out out of the co-dependancy of social context and reinvigorate their innate states of loving kindness and genuineness --- in this way the light of their soul will not be dimmed by the trappings of this temporal world.

Now, we have all appreciated dramas with excellent actors -- and those actors work to perform their craft in ways that resonate authentic and inspire reflection. However -- if an actor would be so overcome with a role that they could not tell the difference between what is the drama and what is real -- then they are no longer acting at all -- and require medical intervention. It is the same with interpersonal trappings of this world -- you are here to play your roles while growing in genuineness and care. But -- if you lose yourself in this world that world starts to own you in ways that you feed off hostility and conflict then you are not a healthy soul -- and require greater intervention.

The Kabbalah of the 5 Levels of Soul

The light of Divinity is fluid and intimate.

However it is not of a sensual intimacy, but rather a refined eros of energetic intimacy.

Every individual is comprised of 5 channels of awareness that vie to control or emancipate creative vitality (שפע).

1. Ruach BeHaimah ( רוח  בהמה)  
2. Nefesh (נֶפֶש) 
3. Neshamah (נשמה) 
4. Chayah (חָיָה) 
5. Yechidah (יְחִידָה)  

Ruach BeHaimah (רוח  בהמה) 

When left to its own devices the Ruach BeHaimah beats like a loud base or war drum. It rallies and consumes creative momentum while drowning out the input of more subtle and advanced creative processes that comprise overall awareness.

Nefesh (נֶפֶש) 

The nefesh (נֶפֶש) facilitates abstract cognitive and deductive processes that link the intellect to selfhood. It prosecutes existence through reductive approaches to reason to break down data in ways that can be isolated, measured and compared. Its processes are akin to a loud horn section that drowns out the musics of the other instruments with a clarion of might and bold conquest. 

Neshamah (נשמה) 

The neshamah (נשמה) is a network that carries creative vitality and a  current of restorative creative potentials from the Higher Soul’s boundless awareness.  It bridges the individual from deterministic processes into a greater orchestration for catalyzing an influx of new possibility into dimensions of greater fulfillment. The neshamah is like the soft, steadying music of a flute. Its restorative influence gets detected and enhanced as the baser channels of awareness get quieted.

Chayah (חָיָה)

The chayah (חָיָה) is akin to a collective unconscious driving the underlying characteristics of  a given civilization. It regulates the gravity of cultural pull over society. It is akin to a loud like choral section that accompanies the greater symphonic experience of existence.

Yechidah (יְחִידָה)  

The yechidah (יְחִידָה) channel of awareness emanates from a unified and timeless perspective. It is the consonance of higher soul supporting the awareness and creative output of all incarnations connected to its’ soul root (unique creative spectrum). It is a perspective where the creative light of Eternal and the Soul blur as one and the same. It is through a network of yechidah root souls that Divinity recreates and calibrates existence as a single  instant. It is from the yechidah level of soul that neshamah unlocks to new creative potentials for the individual and the greater world that restores fatalistic trajectories with the sovereignty to orchestrate greater potentials into harmonized fulfillment. The yechidah is akin to the soft harmonizing of a heavenly harp, its music can only be proactively catalyzed by raising awareness beyond the baser din of other instrumentation, and tuning the other levels of awareness to accentuate its’ soft, indelible song.

When an individual draws the creative raw influx of creative vitality from the soul’s network, and rather than allowing it to seamlessly flow, contains it through the brute reductive processes of nefesh level processing, then it will have the effect of amplifying the ego. This extrinsic pride hardens the aspirants heart and separating him from the approaches of  vulnerable authenticity needed to rise to access the higher more subtle processes.

Without the conditions for vulnerably intimate ecstatic states, the aspirant’s intentions become deluded in ways that repel the aspirant from fluidly advancing on their path of fluid spiritual realization. Musically, the this aspirant grows increasingly unable to detect the higher musics with clarity and is therefore unable  tame the baser music to support in the higher orchestration.

Should aspirant raise the dormant vitality at the Ruach BeHaimah or Nefesh channel of awareness to interface with current of the free flowing new vitality at the Neshamah level of awareness it will balance out the stasis of tension fallout from the pull and repress conflicts between mind and body — 

this will open the doors of perception to the corrective creative processes that will heighten awareness through graceful metacognitive states, so  creativity and greater harmonization can orchestrate and thrive. 

Should the aspirant raise the new and revitalized  influx of creative vitality to overflow at a chayah level of awareness — it will harmonize the tug-a-war between their individual and cultural self. This restoration will   gradually open gates more fluid  altruistic service, delivering heightened sensitivity for extrasensory perception. Together, the aspirant will arise with an awareness restored with greater balance and simplicity; able to sense the encroaching of past pitfalls  and transcend past fallout.

Should the aspirant raise the new and revitalized creative influx to interface at a yechidah level — he will open the door to resetting potentials that can alter the trajectory of progress for time itself and impacting the trajectory of personal and greater history. This link will shorten the path to Divine inspiration and give sanction to intuitive direction and instruction from your future realized expressions of soul through the Divine name Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה).

May the merit of this primer help shorten the path of struggle and emancipate a direct path of intimate living and authenticity where the light of the Shechinah (שְׁכִינָה‎) [Divine Feminine light of latent potentials] can reign for all.

Emancipating Anticipation

"Hashivenu Hashem Elecha Ve'Nashuva Chadesh Yamenu KeKedem" 

Restore us to You, the Eternal, that we may be restored! 
Rejuvenate our days as of old. (Lam. 5:21)

Along the spiritual path, you practice maintaining your heart’s authenticity in ways that add fulfillment to creation. In time, you graduate to orchestrate your heart’s expression in ways that infuse new spirit into awareness that has been levelled by deficit. You grow to lead a spiritually liberated path that inspires others to invest in developing a relationship with their own soul’s future realization.

Invariably, the path of spiritual maturation requires you to unwrap your truest self by quieting the reactive mind and connecting your heart to a place of timeless contentment. To attain this, it is key to actively link your heart to the parts of your soul residing in a time of future realization. In this way, your heart will be secure from extending its vitality into motivations of endurance — a creative expression that necessitates an inccuring of long obstacles.
The heart of a true spiritualist is treasured because it has cultivated a refined sensitivity. However, a gentle heart cannot soldier through difficulties without these taking a heavy toll. It is therefore essential for you to cultivate disciplines for reviving your heart’s vitality each day. You do this by bathing your awareness in the bliss that will be realized at a future time. It means cultivating feelings of perpetual “renewal” -- these will refine the quality of your spirit and help your soul seed solutions ahead of your intended path. Gradually, you grow to master anchoring your heart in a space of perpetual "arrival", to seed the blossoming of lasting success.


In sum, it means securing a gravitating expression of raw satisfaction! Through it you grow animated with the feeling of embracing all that you are for all eternity —ready to seize the reigns of a life you were specifically built for! This is the secret indelible expression fueling hearts destined for lasting success and heightened realization.

“Seperation”

The spiritual masters described Divinity as boundless awareness that fashioned creation into a place where it can be sequestered and masked amidst the respective roles of “giver” and “taker”. At an early age, we are prompted to reconcile the mysterious ways of Divinity — a force that both grants life and inevitably collects it. Divinity separated itself between expressions of ”Creator" and the embodiment of its’ realizing light encased in ”creation". 

To launch creation’s stage, the Eternal light of this boundless awareness is projected through a lens of “otherness” that polarizes it onto “latent” and “realized” states. It is through the “void” of this divide that creation is cultivated as a fertile medium for individualized creative fulfillment. 

The void of this divide casts the shadow of “separateness” into awareness.  The spiritual masters called this “shadow” spiritual “darkness” — this being the underlying meaning of the spiritual archetype depicting humanity as being “made in the shadow of God”. 

The spiritual masters taught their students how the void projected into creation at light’s divide gave rise and influence to spiritual “darkness”. That this spiritual  “darkness” compels creative forces of obscurity to amplify perceptions “separateness”, “limit” and “pedigree” to bind humanity from unified states of Greater Soul awareness. They too explained that these forces of obscurity are compelled to bind humanity’s awareness from readily realizing their underlying interconnectivity of the light. The secret justification being — that these very conditions of veiled separation prepare this world as a place for individual realization and the discovery of exceptional diversity, meaning and autonomy.

The Law of Miracles

The light of the soul imbues vitality into creation from a space of perfected union.

Along the creative stage, a lens of dualism is erected that converts the unified vitality of the soul into lawful structures of increasing complexity. This greater complexity help support creative spaces where awareness can experience and create with greater authenticity.

Dualism establishes a strict lawfulness, and this lawfulness is stabilized by the juxtaposing momentum of the opposing forces it sets in motion. Left unchecked, the unified creative vitality of the soul is lost to the juxtaposing flux dualistic drives. The additional creative vitality appropriated from the soul's unified light helps reinforce the structures that maintain stasis for the dualistic status quo and its governing lawfulness.

An enlightenment spiritualist draws forth a light for unified realization from the root of their soul and safely couriers it through more complex stages of creative realization. Under inspired active stewardship, the unified light of realization overcomes the juxtaposing din and gradually harmonizes competing forces into synergistic realization. This gradually changes the very lawfulness of creation and loosen the structures sustaining the polarizing stasis. This loosens the controls of dualistic structures governing the lawful stasis, and these begin to adjust accordingly or collapse, This spiritual catalyst represents a dawning for new possibilities to seed our world into enlightened realization. Gradually, the very lawfulness of nature itself becomes imbued with new possibility. Then, people gradually awaken to, a world where the very structures that impede a lasting peace from being realized, grow harmonized; as the impossible becomes increasingly eminent.

Spiritual Desire

Developing greater spiritual awareness means dedicating yourself to expanding beyond your worldly considerations and making room in your awareness for a relationship greater processes at play. It is a discipline that requires you to surrender your previous paradigms so you can grow into playing a more active role in a greater orchestration. Your job is not to busy yourself in ways that you escape yourself, but rather that you occupy the fullness of yourself in ways that help you realize your most intrinsic self. To do so you must focus on developing your spiritual capacity for desire. Your heart's desire is like a muscle, it can developed to encompass more expansive levels of creation. 

Revelation that surpasses your immediate desire will go unrealized. This is because you can only expand to what you have previously prepared an equivalent desire for. The cultivation of your spiritual desire invariably involves a deep unwavering acknowledgement about how interdependent you are with spirit in realizing greater wholeness; both with your own soul, and in removing confines to the mysteries of greater Divinity.

Spiritual desire is evocative of the urgent chemistry of torn apart lovers. Each step you take in advancement is an engagement with a promise of climactic fulfillment and reunion. Those who are serious about developing their soul's latent potentials are constantly cultivating the development of their desire for greater communion. The greater your goal and aspiration, the greater the spiritual desire that that needs to be honed. As without equivalent spiritual desire, grace and revelation invariably go unrealized.  

Desire is the very vessel through which revelation extends and realization grows. The development of your spiritual desire is innately a visceral recognition of how deeply your drive extends to connecting with the unrealized aspects of your soul towards securing greater wholeness. If followed diligently, the results invariably lead to fulfillment of both your own soul and the mysteries of greater Divinity dawning within all things.

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.

The Ecstatic Instant

The creation of all diversity arose from the simplicity of unexpressed potentials called Nothingness. In an act of True Love, this awareness gave light to expression for latent potentials. Through the confines of this ecstatic "instant", True Love was released and seeded to blossom into greater realization. 

This creative "instant" provided the canvas for experiencing degrees of realization. Its' sharing, gave rise to "otherness", "selfhood" and the formation of dimensional continuums for worlds, space and time. This "instant" constitutes the creative arc between the 0 and the 1; the transformation of consciousness from "Nothingness" to "Everythingness". 

All development happens within the confines of this space of inception. Within this arc of perpetual realization the range for experiential variation and complexity is realized. Paradoxes that arise are allowed to complete a circuit for transformed unity upon this arc of bridged singularities. For example, the existential paradox for how selfhood can simultaneously be both "realized" and "harmonized" is resolved through the actualizing arc of its' creative narrative. 

Each act of creativity is an echo of this synergetic architecture. Extremities of the creative spectrum are awarded expression through roles in this narrative arc bridging the singular poles, from 0 to 1, from "nullification" to "fusion". This euphoric pulse escalates into materialization from this primordial euphoric "instant". The surface of this creative "instant" extends to each creative chord the space to transform their vitality from tiers that are potential and simulated into expressions that are actual and authentic. Synergistically, another process progresses on the intrinsic level of this "instant". Each chord becomes transformed beyond the confines of their respective attributes in the fulfillment of this existential tapestry. This releases a light of love so true that it transcends the very embodiment of its' initial conception. Its realization draws near each time the superficial is instilled with the spirit of the intrinsic. 

It is like streams flowing from divergent terrains to join the rush of an expansive ocean. The creative spectrum is able to gradually explore its creative vitality before being swept in the rush of the realization of a higher synergy. The echo of this euphoric "instant" supports these heightened stages for realization. It is the very undercurrent catalyzing all creative discovery.

Body & Soul

The juxtaposition of body and soul is a dance between opposite ends of the creative spectrum. The body is an expression of form, while the soul is an expression of essence. While form relates to utility for shifting conditions of an intended journey, essence relates to the integrity fulfilled at the eventual destination. The body is an organism that matures and decays. The body's nervous system serves its' survival by remaining reactive. In contrast, the eternal soul fragment is an extension of  a constant that permeates vitality. It thrives when cultivating equanimity. 

Incarnating presents a challenging journey of decent for a fragment of soul. From a Greater Soul that is boundlessly etherial and intrinsic, it descends into a world partial to the superficial. As such, it enters corporeal confines that dim its' radiance. Friction and struggle are so much a part of the engine driving material consciousness. Through it all, the soul fragment must remain secure in its' authenticity. This is the path for harmonizing prevalent struggle, without becoming governed by it.

Like a sensor designed to detect broadcasts far away, the soul fragment is highly attuned and sensitive. It receives an array of input of impressions from the past, future and outside time itself. Consider a doctor listening to a patient's heartbeat with the aid of a stethoscope. The patient is instructed to breath deeply so that an accurate medical analysis can be conducted on his heart. Were the patient to ignore these instructions and instead talk loudly through the examination, the doctor would be unable to complete an accurate assessment. The doctor's stethoscope is designed to detect a patient's heart rhythm, but extraneous input reverberating through the patients' vocal chords has the effect of overstimulating the device. It is similar with the incarnated fragment of soul, subtle shifts of mood, emotion and general reactivity effect its' range of detection and the subject of its' connection.

A survivalist verve pervades the body's mechanics. Initially, the soul fragment is confounded by the caustic hum of its' surroundings. These wear on the soul fragment's acute sensitivity and interfere with a flow of vitality extending from the' Greater Soul. If the body is akin to rhythm, the soul is akin to harmony. An amateur musician would produce quite a lot of dissonance before competently orchestrating harmonic progressions between these two musical components. It is similarly challenging for a beginner to steer lasting coherence between their body and soul. If you are musically inclined, you will recognize that melody aptly bridges between rhythm and harmony. Similarly, the emotional integrity of your heart bridges constructive momentum between your body and soul to yield unified expression. This is why spiritual teachers advocate daily routines of techniques designed to rebalance the heart's emotional coherence. Each day the heart must take the lead and bridge through the surfacing impasses of the day. 

The soul fragment finds comfort in the sensory nurturing accessible through corporeality. Nurturing and bonding silence the body's survivalist din and activate the harmonics of the soul. This is because a lull of shared security disarms the body, while collective benevolent expression is native to the soul. These conditions allow the soul fragment to reconnect with the essential pulse of creative vitality extending from its' Greater Soul. This is why nurturing is especially key during a child's early development. If executed on an intrinsic level, it inculcates a halo of reverence for the soul's distinct creative expression throughout a child's maturation of identity and selfhood. Such reverence will secure the child's sensitivity in ways that promote soul consciousness with each bridge to individuation. For those that grow up without early childhood nurturing, it is never too late. From a spiritual standpoint, a lifetime is about the process of gradually uncoiling the full creative spectrum of your soul, and learning how to selflessly employ its' resources in ways that extend harmony. Ultimately, regardless of your upbringing, you are the sole arbiter over the development of your soul. Its' birthright is yours to reclaim. You can always choose to reset conditions to foster greater heart sensitivity and re-kindle your soul's latent ingenuity. No matter that challenge, you are at all times free to render choices that extend the terrain of your soul's authenticy. Essentially, you are at all times free to refine the love extending from your heart.

Survivalist friction propels the evolution of material consciousness. When you identify with "form" you are most apt to feel spiritually drained, abandoned and divided. These are called times of "constricted consciousness". To get through these times, many are taught to lean on to the simple faith that their journey has a higher purpose. That they are journeying in the company of a greater awareness. From a more unified perspective, the notion of "alone" is a complete facade and an utter impossibility within spirit. By achieving a unified soul-centred space of consciousness you witness yourself as an active expression of a pervasive and expansive awareness. It is from this space that you spiritually activate the nature of your heart's expressions as advancement of an overarching divinity. This is why spiritual masters recognized descents into "constricted-consciousness" as momentous opportunities for pro-actively catalyzing spiritual re-unifications. By entering into the abyss and uplifting it to a higher grace, you instil elevated impressions for a new pathway. The pathway is a bridge that widens its' narrows for all those that had struggled with such a descent in the past. This is the way the light begins to dawn within the darkness, and gradually, the dominance of darkness begins to recede. 

This works in a way that is also trans-linear, as the achievement simultaneously releases the grip on those struggling with it in the past, while simultaneously immunizing many from falling prey to pull of a similar decline in the future. It is like a scout traversing through high grasses and thicket that obscure his vision to secure a path. He works diligently chopping down the chest high grasses and clearing the thicket to make a trail that others will follow with clarity and ease. 

The masters saw these feats as having the effect of releasing latent spiritual momentum. That there are pockets of spiritual vitality detached from the flow of the greater orchestration. They dedicated themselves to teaching their students how to diligently corral the lost reserves that contribute to the flux and turbulence playing out on a the worldly stage. They celebrated such inner feats as having transformational effects well beyond one's personal arena.

Your incarnated soul fragment was sent to experiment with the creative vitality extending from your Greater Soul. Throughout your worldly journey, you will always confront the choice of whether to engage with form or the intrinsic. When you engage with form, you extend to it a part of your soul's vitality. By making this connection you will experience attachments. These attachments with distort your awareness and direction. When journeying across the nihilistic flux of the worldly veneer many seek refuge in these attachments, but they are just shells of identity that further disconnect them from their soul's authenticity. The level of consciousness you choose to connect with and enter into will have the effect of either amplifying or repressing your Greater Soul's vitality. It is always your choice how to connect experientially.

Your heart sings a melody that extends bridges. With the music of your heart you choose where, and to what degree you share your soul's vitality. Do you choose to splice yourself into externalities that cloak from your awareness your greatest resource? Or, do you penetrate the superficial just enough to seed it with the intrinsic and allow the obfuscations to gradually recede in season? If you choose correctly, you will find that those in the practice of planting seeds learn to expect the unexpected.
