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.

Opposites Ascent

What does it mean to be living in world of free-will? It means living in an environment where everything has an opposite, and you are navigating a path surrounded by those opposites. Those opposites that you are immersed in and confronting at all times in linear states of consciousness constitute the very "static" that separates you from communion with your eternal self.

These opposites also provide you with an environment of incredible diversity and options. This diversity allows you to direct expressions of your choice that are very powerful and meaningful. This is because the level authenticity of free expression is amplified in the context of contrast.

By being a part of this world, you are embracing both a great power, and great liability inherent in human consciousness. The great power is that your choices to love are potent and meaningful in ways that effect your material world and beyond. The great weakness is that you are disconnected from the clarity and unconditional magnitude of your eternal essence, and thus easily succumb to primitive compromises over the integrity of your soul.

To be human, is to wonder along your journey with heavy baggage filled with "why"s. A typical individual buries within their heart a fertile assortment of cosmic and linear "why"s that just fade into the background of consciousness and go unanswered. When an individual enters into an ascended consciousness, and you are connected to your eternal self, those "why"s begin to implode upon themselves and there is no "why"; only a perpetually reinventing "Is". In that state, you revel in the perfectly flowing state of all that "Is".

Many spiritually developed individuals unify a higher connectivity with all fragments of their soul to routinely access a unified viewpoint of energetic existence. In this space of “Nothingness”, they witness themselves flowing breathlessly as part of a boundless over-arching benevolent orchestration.

Oftentimes, when they enter back into linear-minded consciousness, they feel a major let-down. This let-down can often feel so severe that many resist climbing back up to unified consciousness again because they feel they must stay grounded. They feel this way because they experience turbulence trying to balance the ecstasy they discover in a space of complete spiritual authenticity vs. the harsh separateness that dominates mainstream linear-minded thinking.

The following is a powerful technique for transitioning. The strategy involves bringing to your heart all the "why"s that had faded into the background of your consciousness. Actively embrace these questions & take them along with you upon your ascent of self discovery/ expansion.

Each "why" can serve as a "bucket" to collect & store a bit of the flow that pervades the
unified space "Nothingness". The current transmitted through these questions will comfort your heart & allow you to sustain flow almost seamlessly from state expansion to state of "worldliness" without losing a beat.

A way to understand this is that the river of the eternal "Nothingness" is an expansive current that pulls you into a vortex of indefinable existence as you attempt to absorb it. The very definition of selfhood loses meaning in this space as you are revealed to be an extension of a benevolent river of integrated active consciousness, as this perspective is so contrary to our worldly perspective and linear mindset.

Rather than trip into a "feast" or "famine" trajectory, this technique allows you to carve out small pieces of that glorified space, remaining vibrantly fluid within the confines of the proceeding questions. These will allow you to mitigate the energetic disparity, and sustain yourself between the "peeks" and the "valleys". It is akin to someone who tempers their appetite with a steady diet of crumbs, so that he can remain satisfied regardless of how soon it is to their next meal. 

In light of the value of this technique, it is unwise to advocate suppressing within your heart a single "why". As no question should be considering "inappropriate" or not palatable enough to be groomed into an opportunity for increased discovery.

However. should you every get stuck with the burden of holding too closely any "why", hold tightly the following law of spirit:

"The answer to every "why" is to help render the light of your love more authentic."

There is nothing that transpires in this world, there is no polarity that can pull you to an extremity, that is not carefully designed to afford you the conditions of freedom, the diversity of choice, to extend to you the precise amount of inertia, to help render your love more REAL and authentic.

In this respect, the answer to every "why" is because of LOVE.

Spiritual Humility; When Opposites Attract

Access to the "tree of life" is granted when you simultaneously attain and align perceptions of the divine in nullification of self called "spiritual humility". "Spiritual humility" is called by the mystics "a good heart"; the heart that finds pleasure through benefiting others."Humility"is a universal  "humility" precursor for attaining levels of transcendent intimacy among divergence approaches to the spiritual path. Without a underlying understanding of the processes of "spiritual humility" your spiritual advances will invariably get rebuffed by the "light". Many spiritual aspirants struggle in this way, and their awareness gets stuck in rejection and nihilism that lead to an utter loss of freedom that the sages called a "hardened heart". Those who attain authentic levels of "spiritual  humility" are freely advance of the 

the corrective "light" of grace

. 

Spiritual humility is at the  fulcrum any eternal ascent of connectivity. It secures a potent bond between the mystique of the Divine feminine (/Shechina) and the realized soul. True lovers coalesce into fluid expressions of mutual trust and shared authenticity. They shed the polarizing shackles of parsimonious give and take to inculcate a greater spirit of communion. Although each enters limited by their respective definitions, they surrender to merge into something greater, and lose their creative limitations and definitions. Together they emerge as one, an embodiment of the spirit of something exalted and boundless.

There are two paths for "spiritual humility"; one path is spiritually "masculine" and while the other is spiritually "feminine". Every individual has an innate predilection towards embracing one of these two paths. As a spiritual aspirant advances into a realization of Divine unity, the aspirant is coaxed to graduate into a harmonious synthesis of both paths to spiritual humility. 

The Spiritually Feminine Path:

The spiritually feminine path to true humility is represented by 

the biblical archetype persona of "Judah", and is the secret to the spiritual 

"scepter" getting realized through a descendant of "David". Those who will reign over a future time of realized peace, harmony and consolation  will ultimately do so as an embodiment of this feminine, communal-centric expression of spiritual humility. It is by evoking the spirit of the realized community that spiritual leadership takes root. In this path, the individual surrenders considerations of selfhood and pedigree and finds satisfaction and duty in the greater realization of others. The self is witnessed in the manifestation of the other. Since each individual is part of the underlying circuitry for the greater realization of the light, the light is realized in  the self as the greater community transforms into appropriate conduits for realizing the Divine "light". Then the capacity of the underlying circuitry of awareness can circulate with greater frequency to break forth a light of collective realization and transcendence. This light is the love of the Almighty and it is realized as it is sharing within the community of man.

This spiritually feminine path to humility places greater emphasis on subjugating individualistic pursuits and achievement as a path of greater realization. The aspirant embraces only those expressions that facilitate conditions for the light to better flow through the collective.

The Spiritually Masculine Path:

The spiritually "masculine" path to humility is personified 

by the biblical archetype persona of "Joseph". In this counter-intuitive approach to spiritual humility, the aspirant seeks to embody the  idealized fullness of  his most intrinsic self; all rooted in a motivation to uplift the external into greater harmonization with the intrinsic. Followers of the spiritually masculine path embrace completely their 

individualism and inner gifts, but rather than leading a life of instead of vanity and nihilism, the aspirant remains humbled by the enormity of debt he owes to the future spirit of his actualized self as an expression of realized Divinity </"Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh">. With each achievement he feels greater debt to his destiny and works diligently at directing his inner gifts in ways that transform the world and bridges civilization in closer communion with wholeness. 

Students of masculine humility recognize that the more they are granted inner gifts from above, the greater their reciprocally debt to their respective actualized destinies. To them, the weight of this ever-looming debt is the crux of their loyal devotion and deep humility. These spiritually gifted individual postulate; 

"I am not greater, only far more in debt along my path to greater realization". 

It is because of their spiritual integrity is rooted in "individualization" that the "children of Joseph" are cast as the apt spiritual foil to the corruptive nihilistic forces of the "children of Edom" (/Red/ Oppression), as the sages have taught; 

"the exile of Edom will conclude by a defeat at the hand of the anointed of Joseph".

The sages have postulated that the spiritual humility of Joseph's path is more suited to thrive amidst exile, while the path to spiritual humility of Judah is most suited for leading over communal realization of the world to come. In the biblical narrative this distinction is hinted at the way Judah thrives in the Holy Land, while Joseph reigns supreme amidst Egyptian exile. This is why the sages have imparted that the anointed of David (from the line of Judah) will not deliver redemption before the arrival, struggle and passing of the anointed of Joseph. Even in the biblical narrative, Joseph's spiritually "masculine" path to humility is misunderstood as being, foreign, antithetical and dangerous for those following the spiritually "feminine" path of "Judah". 

It is interesting to note that each of these expressions to humility are reflected sociologically in mass culture. Societies unable to train their spiritual drive for the feminine path to spiritual humility find themselves ushering in communist or fascist socialism movements, while societies unable to master  drive for the masculine path to spiritual humility may find themselves prosecuting over anarcho-capitalism, extreme libertarianism or vapid narcism. True peace (/shleimut/ wholeness) arrives once the paths of feminine and masculine humility completely coalesce into a single expression of love for the spirit of each individual and reverence for the spirit of the greater community. The spirit of love is best realized through state of mutual surrender that summon forth the  transcendent. This is the path to healing consolation that will grow into wellspring of blessing for all.
