Be ever vigilant



Pray hard, meditate with all your might and envision with your soul’s eyes the vision of our true inheritance and nature. Call forth from your oversoul, where all is written and all stored .The game, the lessons, the instructions that we have forgotten because of our disconnect from God. Let us be reminded that we are the children of a great, peaceful, merciful and loving God. I know this to be true, it is burned into the very fabric of our soul, even our physical DNA, though we seem to have forgotten this immutable fact of divine revelation. There no escape from sacred truth where there is genuine loving intention. Yes-love God with your whole heart, whole soul and whole mind Catechism 101 from when I was 7 years old-still very fresh in my mind.

We have -sprung forth from the mind, the very consciousness of God, from the ocean of eternity. Anointed with divinity, created from love and blessed with forgetfulness for reasons of our own spiritual growth . We are also marked with forgetfulness so that we may choose our life through the gift of free will.

We have forgotten our true name, our true nature, our true home and our true vocation. Centering ourselves on ourselves we have lost our center in “our authentic being ”. Therefore we do not know who and what and where we really are.

We are lost. Like Prometheus we resort to stealing from God the inheritance of all that is freely and unfailingly given. This confusion creates our existential crisis, our fictitious existence, our deep disorientation, our deep unhappiness, our self inflicted woundedness  to which we are bound. Unable to break the chain that we ourselves have forged, that seems to enslave us, bind us—which is infact of our very own doing, our own choice to be exact. Squandering our treasures in a fragmented disbursement of consciousness, we fall into dysfunctional unconsciousness; a mindless, trustless, fearful, and rapacious pursuit of life, destructive of our own life and that of the Earth's well-being. Like a voice in the wilderness we lament at our self -wrought desolation. Paradise lost! Can it ever be regained? This is the question that the soul faces.

The reality that is within us-call it soul, spirit, Atman which is the reality within us, which due to our physical existence fails to grasp-or more precisely refuses to grasp the whispers of its secrets which it is trying to tell us-which is "truth"; if we really listen we can hear it clearly—for the answers are always given if we sincerely ask with an open heart. However, if we do not ask it remains hidden and all remains a mystery, an unexplained myth—deep in the very existence of love itself. Paradise; with moments of happiness, of joy, of contentment, of awareness, of enlightenment , of God realization all lie within –these treasures are never without, but entwined and grounded in the soul—excavated and unearthed through prayer, union and conversations with God. This is only found in silence, solitude and total consecration to God.
