…the only true force in the Universe.

All other forces are traced back to that One force… taking separation back to Oneness.

The ‘force’ that manifested the universe is Maya… illusion…

Below is a picture of love in action.

If you feel that God is far away, it is only because your definition of God is inaccurate.  God is here, now, with you.  But ‘definition’ is more than a thought.  It is something you feel in your heart.  As you evolve your consciousness changes, thereby changing your definitions of everything.

Clinging to your old definitions is a drag on your evolution.  Emancipation means freedom, means moving beyond where you currently are.  Change does not happen without flexibility.  Boundaries will be broken as you evolve.  You must do what you think is right, but you must also think rightly.

Keeping a steady hand on the rudder, move forward.  That means move, but move wisely.  Think, ponder, reflect… cultivate discernment.  Infinite flexibility, yet with a steady hand.

The teachings of the ancients must be revered, but your understanding of those teachings must evolve.  Infinitely rigid, one pointed, committed, reverent, undeterred, yet at the same time, infinitely flexible… like the flowing branches of a tree anchored in the trunk of Eternal Truth.

Life is a paradox.  Redefine everything for yourself… for your Self.  The words may not change, but their meaning will.  Truth is subtle.  It cannot be grasped with words.

Do not let your definitions bind you.  Be reverent, free, respectful, strong, humble, and bold.  In the final analysis, obedience and independence are the same thing.

From time to time someone asks how to help a soul that committed suicide.  The three suggestions are:

1. Meditate.  As you evolve, your connection with the person will help them.  Of course, we are all connected so you help everyone when you meditate, but your more direct connection with that person will help them more directly.
2. Ask Pandit at the temple what puja or ceremony he would recommend.  Have the person’s jyotish chart or birth information available if possible.
3. Connect with the person.  It works.  It does not need to be a drama.  It can be simple, easy, clean, and beautiful.

Karma moves like a current in the sea… like the flow of the wind on a chaotic breezy day.  It carries you, families, and nations wherever it does.

Feeling into someone’s karma may prompt you to warn them or inform them of what you feel and see.  You may just think you could tell them, “Hey, look at this. Now that you see it, just snap out of it.”  But of course, it is not so simple.

Karma overtakes people by casting a spell, by putting them into a sort of trance state.  Once in that state, it seems they have no choice but to think, act, and believe in accord with the current of that trance, where ever it leads. At first it is a frightening thing to witness.  In time, you understand and act artfully in your dealings with the world of winds of karma.

Why are people so susceptible to the winds of karma?  Because we all long to fly. We long for frictionless flow in our lives. In fact, such natural flow is your birthright. Note there are karmic winds yet there is also the Cosmic Flow, the Cosmic Current that is one with the depth and breadth of all that is.  A frictionless Divine Current underlies all that is, just as the silent stillness at the depth of the ocean underlies all the chaotic waves on the surface.

Your physiology is designed to evolve.  It evolved into existence.  Evolution is its way, its nature, it’s sustenance in life.  Evolution culminates with a Being who has caught the Cosmic Wave, the natural flow of their Divine Essence.

The physiology evolves in that direction.  It longs for the Cosmic Wave.  Yet all along the way, karmic waves ensnare your life through that same mechanic of the physiology… the longing to catch The Wave.

Your affinity for your karma is really just misplaced trust.  You long for God.  As a result of that longing, you grasp at karmic waves, which then capture you and carry wherever they do, throughout the ages.

I implore you.  Do not stop until you find the Cosmic Wave and allow it to catch your sail.

Have you noticed that murtis (statues) of the Gods often show them with the right hand pointing up and the other pointing down to the ground?

The idea is that to receive the blessings from the right hand, you must first be humble and show your respect, indicated by left hand pointing down to their feet.

You would do well to consider how you behave.  Authority issues preclude learning. God appears to you when, where, and how God does.

As Winston Churchill put it:
“Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.” 

As I from time to time like to say: “Humility is the flip side of wisdom.”

The Absolute is perceived through the lens of the personality self, complete with the distortions of conditioned emotional responses, belief systems, and indoctrinations.

Before the Hubble telescope, the land telescopes we used looked toward the sun as if from the bottom of a 10 foot deep swimming pool.  The image was distorted. These parallel (map) nicely.

As you evolve, the window of perception clears, as if you are moving toward the surface of the swimming pool.  Yet be it from the bottom of the swimming pool or the top of the highest mountain, you are looking at the same sun, which maps on to the absolute. Even an earthworm, with relentless conviction, crawls through the soil reaching toward the sun.

Evolution means increasing clarity… less distortion.  Yet all remain fervent in their devotion to their conditioning, for though they see the rays of the sun and feel them touching the depth of their soul, they see and feel it through the lens of their conditioning.  They therefore ardently hold to their conditioned beliefs, thinking them to be the truth of the absolute.

Even the atheists (Those poor souls that were presented with such a distorted notion of God that they rejected the notion in total.) continue to feel the pull of Truth, though the very idea of capitalizing the word ‘truth’ may offend them.  Yet it is that light, that sun, that truth (that Truth) that all of life gravitates toward. Just as all water most assuredly returns to the ocean, all souls return to God.
