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.
