Allness

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. [2] There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. [3] Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. [4] Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” [5] While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” [6] When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. [7] But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” [8] When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. [9] As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
Matthew 17:1-9 NIV

Born human being is opportunity to discover -RAdams

Allness

It is a rare privilege to be born as a human being, even though it is an illusory birth. But to be born as a human being is the only way you can find yourself. An animal, a tree, a mineral cannot do this. You have been given the rare opportunity of birth so that you may find self-realization, and unfold into your true nature. Do not use your time for anything else. This is the purpose of being in this birth, to become absolutely free and liberated.

You are Brahman -RAdams

Allness

I say to you, “You are absolute reality.
You are Brahman, infinite awareness, consciousness.”

Just Let Go! Let Bhagavan take over your life as he promises.

But if you have to play mind games, begin to feel as if your real nature is Brahman and all is well, there are no mistakes. Everything is in its right place unfolding as it should. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Everything that has been happening to you has been preordained. And the way to get rid of it is not to attach yourself to your problem, but to inquire, “For whom is the problem?” Over and over and over again until you become free.

Shadow selves [bit psychological] – Stan Tyra

Allness

Several have asked me recently about the term “shadow self,” and what that term actually means. I will try but it’s hard without sounding like total psycho-bable:)

The shadow-self is the disowned part of self that we are unwilling to acknowledge as “me.” This denied image may be very negative or very positive. The negative-self we deny because it’s too bad to ever be me and the positive-self is too good to ever be me. Let me also say that in reality there is no such thing as a shadow self, you are one as He is one, but the shadow represents the part of us, that we don’t want to acknowledge. We just use the term “shadow” to shine a light on something well hidden and this terminology helps us see through our blindness. Carl Jung, an analytical physiologist first coined the term in the early 1900’s.

Since we deny and disown these shadow parts, we project them onto others and encounter them as things we despise about another. One of the best ways to recognize our shadow and get to know it, is to look for the things that we find most annoying, irritating or upsetting.

Our first response will usually be “that’s not me!” “I am not like that!!” However a failure to embrace one’s shadow compromises all subsequent development possibilities. Like Peter, it’s easy to say “I will never deny you,” until you do. This smallness has been part of Peter all along, he just denied it by presenting himself as the “bad-ass” disciple. Peter had refused to listen to Jesus all along the journey as Jesus pointed to this shadow-self within Peter. Jesus knew exactly what was the other face of this man, and that the “I will never deny you!” was revealing a hidden and very weak man.

Many who confront their shadow never move beyond it because they seek only to eliminate it, as opposed to acknowledge its actually part of them. We tend to choose the easier issues of our life to focus on which prevents wholeness. Because we view these problems as things to be eliminated, or personal issues we keep running up against, we never recognize how these issues represent real parts of us so we don’t learn the lessons they can teach us.

Until we acknowledge our shadow parts, we will not awaken to the fact the shadow is being cast from us, not onto us. Until we recognize this, we will continue to struggle with anger, bitterness, and depression for we will we will not recognize the face of our disowned self nor the consequences of this ongoing investment in denial and avoidance. I’ll continue tomorrow.

Ego wants to describe but can’t bec soul – Stan Tyra

Allness

The further into divine awareness we go, the more futile our efforts to define that journey goes. But this doesn’t mean it’s not genuine and divine. Our ego often wants to define it by words because it has no ability to embrace mystery. In choosing to explain it by words, our egoic self wants to reduce it to an intellectual knowing as opposed to an ongoing and expansive divine awareness.

Part of the reason we do this is we honor the mind more than the soul. The soul is a perspective not a “thing.” The soul is the interpretive space between a person and the events of his or her life. The soul allows us to transform these events into awareness that makes life eternal and abundant.

The soul is also the place where we learn to hold experience and not simply define it and explain it. The soul thrives in reality but withers in religious denial. The soul finds the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary because the soul is tethered to heaven and earth, “in the world, but not of it.” Where the religious mind wants to separate the two, the soul holds the paradox of both and interprets all from an ascended perspective. This is the only way to experience abundant life where we are as opposed to where we want to be or think we should be.
