The one thing I am certain about my life here and now, is that healing and transformation are ongoing, and will keep going till I finish with this form. I do not have to "aspire" to become Christ Consciousness - I Am already that, except that it is still hidden and out of my present awareness - not completely, but by and large yes. The potential for Christ Consciousness lies within every Soul. It is just a matter of opening up to it and releasing all that acts as obstacles and blockages to Its illuminating Presence. Once every block is removed, every truth restored and every resistance dropped, the veil will completely part and make way for a Born-Again Being. We are not "born-again" by virtue of religion, but by virtue of Self Realization where we begin to SEE Oneness and Unity in every aspect and particle of Life. A "Born-Again" sees no separation, exclusion, specialty or self privilege of being a "chosen one". Everyone is invited to partake of God's Life, only few choose to do so through Awakening, Awareness, Enlightenment and Self Realization.
I Am. What I add after the "I Am" is what enhances me or brings me down. What I believe about myself is what will create the "story" of my Life going forward. I Am the only caretaker of myself and I Am the one who knows exactly what my body, mind, and spirit needs. And it is in my very own interest to really learn to love myself unconditionally, completely and fully
My life is eternal. Its not spiritual or material. It is just Life. I Am Life ... Boundless and Eternal. It is all about my 'Beingness" from moment to moment that really enables me to live fully through every emotion and experience. To heal our emotions, we must be able to look at all of them - even the most painful ones, with the eyes of Love. To love something or someone is to be in total acceptance of that thing or person unconditionally without the need for any adjustment or change. It is not easy, but it is possible as we make a decision to live with the purpose of just Being and Seeing another exactly as he/she is. Not expecting any changes or wishing if only this person was different ..... that is only wishful thinking and puts one in a complete state of resistance. To BE and allow everyone else to BE not only creates space for miracles but more importantly, it is total freedom.
EckhartTolle explains "Beingness" .....
"Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show
you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it and let it
be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder,
arises within you. Its essence silently
communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you. This is what great artists sense and succeed
in conveying in their art. Van Gogh
didn't say: "That's just an old chair." He looked, and looked, and looked. He sensed the Beingness of the chair. Then he sat in front of the canvas and took
up the brush. The chair itself would
have sold for the equivalent of a few dollars.
The painting of that same chair today would fetch in excess of $25
million."
No matter what religion, teaching, guru or master one follows, the message is the same: Love. Love everything and everyone including yourself. Even while engaging in self inquiry, I find that unless I see myself with love and compassion, self inquiry becomes meaningless and just a mind thing, but when infused with Love, the dynamics change and the result is always deep and profound change.
"I must love the very thing I am studying" says Jiddu Krishnamurthi.
"The what is is what you are, not what you would like to be; it is not the ideal because the ideal is fictitious, but it is actually what you are doing, thinking, and feeling from moment to moment. What is is the actual, and to understand the actual requires awareness, a very alert, swift mind. But if we begin to condemn what is, if we begin to blame or resist it, then we shall not understand its movement. If I want to understand somebody, I cannot condemn him, I must observe, study him. I must love the very thing I am studying. If you want to understand a child, you must love and not condemn him. You must play with him, watch his movements, his idiosyncrasies, his ways of behaviour; but if you merely condemn, resist, or blame him, there is no comprehension of the child. Similarly, to understand what is, one must observe what one thinks, feels, and does from moment to moment. That is the actual. Any other action, any ideal or ideological action is not the actual-it is merely a wish, a fictitious desire to be something other than what is.So to understand what is requires a state of mind in which there is no identification or condemnation, which means a mind that is alert and yet passive. - Krishnamurti, The Collected Works, Vol. V",50,Choiceless Awareness"
