AWAKENING - SELF EMPOWERMENT ................................................................ ~ COURAGE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY ~ Ultimately, internal suffering is a daily practice imposed on one's self. While the residues affect those around us, the delusion is that there is no other way to fix our self - other than escape. In contrast, suffering the physical pains of liberation is a small price to pay to settle one's mind. Creating the conditions ourselves, purification enables the self to pass through the gateway. It seems to be no easy feat but simultaneously is an illusion that is easily broken - its success relies wholly on commitment, a skill we intimately know or have. Surrender, most importantly intention, are the gems of our wealth. Worthy demands when pursued, they hold the keys to the greatest reward - of finding our true nature and happiness by means of self actualization.

Bodhichitta - The enlightened mind, aimed at awakening, with wisdom and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The supreme good heart is bodhichitta. ‘Bodhi’ is the Sanskrit word for ‘enlightenment’, and ‘chitta’ the word for ‘mind’; therefore ‘bodhichitta’ literally means ‘mind of enlightenment’. It is defined as a mind, motivated by compassion for all living beings, that spontaneously...See more

The most difficult thing for spiritual seekers to do is to stop struggling, striving, seeking, and searching. Why? Because in the absence of struggle you don't know who you are; you lose your boundaries, you lose your separateness, you lose your specialness, you lose the dream you have lived all your life. Eventually, you lose everything that your mind has created and awaken to who you truly are: the fullness of freedom, unbound by any identifications, identities, or boundaries. ~Adyashanti

But your solitude will be a support and a home for you, even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances, and from it you will find all your paths. ― Rainer Maria Rilke

“When you get out of the driver’s seat, you find that life can drive itself, that actually life has always been driving itself. When you get out of the driver’s seat, it can drive itself so much easier—it can flow in ways you never imagined. Life becomes almost magical. The illusion of the “me” is no longer in the way. Life begins to flow, and you never know where it will take you.” ― Adyashanti Art • “Ladies of the Lake” by Rob Gonsalves

Even broken in spirit as he is, no one can feel more deeply than he does the beauties of nature. The starry sky, the sea, and every sight afforded by these wonderful regions, seems still to have the power of elevating his soul from earth. Such a man has a double existence: he may suffer misery, and be overwhelmed by disappointments; yet, when he has retired into himself, he will be like a celestial spirit that has a halo around him, within whose circle no grief or folly ventures. Mary Shelley - Frankenstein Art: Odilon Redon

"When we finally give up the struggle to find fulfillment 'out there', we have nowhere to go but within. It is at this moment of total surrender that a new light begins to dawn."

☆ EMERGENCE ☆

At a point of rebirth, our consciousness slowly but surely dawns. As our heart opens to the music of pure unconditional love, it's inner pulse feeds our mind with all the spiritual nourishment it seeks. In response - the adolescent needs of our former self are quenched and...See more
