3 Steps to Awakening
"This experience
of separation and stress,
of being a person
separate from everything else
is something you are doing.
You are contracting
moment to moment
into identifying with thinking,
identifying with the body,
identifying with the idea of
who you think yourself to be
and how life is supposed to be.
And this contraction
blocks you from experiencing
your true nature of peace.
So then
how do you stop
this contraction?
How do you stop
creating this suffering?
Lets put it in 3 parts:
The first is practice:
spending time every day
actively practicing
a meditation technique.
The main reason for this
is to focus your mind;
to focus your attention.
With focused attention,
awareness begins to grow
and you begin to experience
life beyond the confines
of the intellectual and emotional mind.
Second is to immerse yourself in Shakti.
Whether it is sitting with an
enlightened teacher
that radiates Shakti,
and/or meditating with
the Calling or Infinite Sky CDs,
this Shakti will awaken
you from the inside out,
giving you a direct experience of bliss
that is almost impossible
to experience on your own.
Third is to surrender,
to allow your experience
in this moment
to be exactly as it is
without trying to control it,
change it
or even identify with it.
To experience this moment directly,
without carrying your past
around with you and
believing yourself to be that.
Let go of the idea of yourself
and let your attention rest
in the sensations
that you feel in this moment
instead of perceiving
this moment through thinking.
If you do these three things
you will begin to feel alive in a way
you never did before,
you will begin to experience
your true nature as peace.
It is the difference between
thinking about bliss
and living as bliss itself.
Blessings,
Kip"
Please Note:
My main teaching
is for you to immerse yourself
in Kundalini Shakti -
the energy one naturally
radiates in the highest states
of enlightenment.
I have found a way to turn
Kundalini Shakti into sound
So simply by listening to meditation music
you effortlessly awaken
to your natural state of unconditional
peace, bliss and freedom.
Please visit:
http://www.bliss-music.com/meditation_music.htm
and listen to the music samples
from the Infinite Sky Enlightened Meditation CDs.
If you are serious about meditation
then these CDs are a must.
Listen to free samples
and experience the bliss for yourself.
Realize Your Own Freedom:
Unconditional Peace & Bliss is Yours For the Taking
Simply by Meditating to a Unique Spiritual Enlightenment CD.

Breitenbush 01 - The Rains Retreat - The Journey Home by Eckhart Tolle |
 | | Eckhart Tolle |
Tape 5
(Continuation)
[And again, those people were so identified with mind structures and labels, I talk about obscuring the reality, the depth of this phenomena that we call rain by labeling it, imagine [that by] attaching labels to people or groups of people you no longer sense who they...their aliveness.]
That is why I said the beginning of violence is attaching a label. Even a simple label like "bad weather" and identify with that. And depth is lost and now you attach labels to other people whether you do it to individuals or nations, groups, religions, tribes and immediately just as you deaden yourself to that, you deaden yourself to the depth, the aliveness. You've already done violence to that person by attaching labels. And that's the essence of unconsciousness - they did it. They don't know what they do because they totally, they see only through the screen of conceptualization. And the word Americans means "kill, kill." They don't know, that's total unconsciousness.

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
November 1st
Truth is every experience and perspective
Yesterday's reflection stated that truth is not conceptual, but rather actual. Truth is "life itself, appearing in whatever form it appears." It is in "every experience and every perspective." That seems very abstract to the intellect. It is not something the intellect can grasp. This is so simple and obvious that it is overlooked in each moment.
To see what is being pointed to here, once must simply notice. To say that truth is in "every experience and every perspective" is simply to say that there is only One life happening now. Life never happens outside of the space of what we call "now." Nothing is appearing as everything including every experience, thought, feeling, belief, state, and perspective.
When there is a sense of a separate self, nothing is pretending to be a separate person. When seeking happens, nothing is appearing as seeking. When a clear concept arises, nothing is appearing as a clear concept. Nothing also appears as a totally unclear concept, a squirrel, a toothbrush, anger, humility, and a Wall Street investor. There is nothing that This is not.
When the mind stops believing that something should be happening other than what is happening, and when emptiness is realized, it is seen that you are life itself, appearing in all forms, all experiences, all states, and all concepts. The simplest word for this is presence.

Chapter 4
Fact: Consciousness is the Infinite Itself
(Continuation...)
As you do so, be alert to "that which is saying I." All that's important is that which is doing the saying-not the word "I" being said.
What is the nature of this invisible voice, this I that you are?
Do not first identify yourself as a body and assume it is the one saying I. Start by identifying yourself directly as this invisible voice only. Identify as I, all by Itself alone.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
From PART V: 6. After completing the entire Process, aside from our 15 minutes breathing twice a day, are there other circumstances that we respond to by breathing ourselves? Yes. When we enter and move through The Presence Process, the breathing empowers us not only to activate present moment awareness, but also to bring suppressed memories to the surface for integration. This is why we are encouraged to keep attending to our breathing exercise twice a day after we complete Session Ten; so we continue to give ourselves an open-ended opportunity to bring further awareness to our unconsciousness, as well as the ability to integrate the shifts we initiate by doing so.

The Transparency of Things
by Rupert Spira
by Non-Duality Press
Paperback

 | | Rupert Spira |
The Ease Of Being
(Continuation...)
[Ignorance is a choice that Consciousness makes out of its own freedom.]
However, this exclusive identification is not something that is chosen once and for all. It is something that we, Consciousness, choose from moment to moment. By the same token Consciousness is free to disidentify itself from the body/mind whenever it chooses. Some spiritual traditions emphasise the efforts that are required by Consciousness to disidentify itself from the body/mind, but in fact Consciousness disidentifies itself effortlessly many times every day.

Chapter 88
Knowledge by the Mind, is not True Knowledge
(Continuation...)
Q: We are condemned to fear?
M:Until we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid. Abandon all personal equations and you shall be free from fear. It is not difficult. Desirelessness comes on its own when desire is recognized as false. You need not struggle with desire. Ultimately, it is an urge to happiness, which is natural as long as there is sorrow. Only see that there is no happiness in what you desire.
