Emptiness better than human love -RAdams

“How can emptiness be better than human love or human happiness? Again there are no words to describe it because it’s ineffable. You have to realize what emptiness really means. Emptiness means that no-thing exists in it, no human concept, no human feeling, no human entity.

Where there is total emptiness there is Absolute Reality. And Absolute Reality is total bliss, happiness and joy. And it’s omnipresence. So you not only feel it personally but you have become the whole universe and you see it wherever you look, and you hear it wherever you listen.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

“The words that I speak do not mean too much. It is the silence that is eloquent. And the silence is the same with all of us. Silence is the Self. If you rest in silence you become the Self.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Finally surrendered & victory! -rjs

Have you ever tried and tried
And tried some more
To get Spirit fully infused
In your conscious awareness
But nothing ever worked until
You hit an emergency situation
Where hope had vanished and
Help was nowhere in sight?

In utter desperation you had an
Epiphany: “Nothing else matters
In this sorry mess of mine
Or anywhere else in the world.
I don’t care anymore, that’s all I know.
God, divine Spirit, I want only You …..
Everything was SUDDENLY HEALED?

You were astonished beyond measure
Sure you were dreaming – how could
It be that you … unworthy for lack
Of insight and perspicacity … you
Could have received such an
Unspeakably amazing miracle
Midst all the sad drama of yesterday?

But now that’s months ago already
And you’re trying, trying, trying
To keep the elation, the astonishment
Alive. You want to bask in it forever
But how? What to do? Should I dare
Recreate an hideous, horrible, Life-
Threatening situation?

Think deeply now: it’s not the situation
But the exact same degree of intense
Critical commitment that you finally
Had in place the last time — moments
Before you SURRENDERED ABSOLUTELY
EVERYTHING – AND WANTED NOTHING
WHATSOEVER except proof that Spirit,
God, was fully in charge.

Dimensions by Kari! -rjs

Dimensions aren’t places, but are actually levels of consciousness that vibrate at different rates. We’ve been living in the 3rd dimension for a long, long, long time. The 3rd dimension is a very restricting and limiting dimension. Some of you may have felt something similar to this; for years I have felt like I was a caged bird and I felt like I couldn’t move past the boundaries of that cage and just fly. If you felt that too, it’s because we were never meant to be put in such a restricted controlling dimension.

The 3rd dimension is based on rigid beliefs and lots of rules. There is a strong belief in duality, fear and judgement. Thankfully, we are in the process of breaking totally free of this restrictive dimension.

We are journeying through the 4th dimension now, on our way to the 5th dimension. Many of us sense this lighter and much wider and open space. We’re understanding that the past no longer has a hold on us, nor does the future, and we’re getting an understanding of what it means to be and live in the present moment. We’re also experiencing a much deeper understanding of Love, acceptance and gratitude, and through this we’re transitioning to the 5th dimension. The 5th dimension is known as ‘The Dimension of Love’ and that’s why there’s been such an emphasis on clearing our heart center, and centering ourselves in our hearts. We’ve also been seeing the things from our past that are hindering our transition to the 5th dimension such as anger, shame, fear, guilt… cannot go with us into the 5th dimension.

Right now, we are watching the whole structure of earth crumble before our very eyes. It will no longer be business as usual, because we are the new earth and it’s emerging through us. It will be a whole new reality. A reality free from control, chaos, hatred, division, confusion, conditioning… and most importantly duality. There will be no duality in the 5th dimension, because all things are then integrated as ONE.

Do you ever think about how differently we think about things than we did even just yesterday? That’s how fast we are evolving, and ascending. We’re not the same person we were a week ago. Whatever would seek to weigh us down is falling away now at record speed. Beings from other dimensions are assisting us as never before. This is an unprecedented time where Light and Energy are flooding our planet which assist us in releasing old programs and patterns and conditioning and wounds.

What a time to be alive. We have longed for this for thousands of years.

I read a small book a while back by Vidya Frazier; “Awakening to the Fifth Dimension.” Some of this info came from when I read her book. 💞

Addendum: I forgot to include this in my original post. In the 5th dimension there is no lack of anything good. We manifest instantly. That’s truly what it means to live in The Kingdom. ❤️ KC

Self-talk as catalyst -rjs

USING SELF-TALK AS CATALYST FOR SPIRITUAL ADVANCEMENT

Mini conversations with yourself which betray less-than-ideal mindsets can be used as powerful catalysts to upgrade your spiritual awareness.

Generally speaking, simply witnessing flurries of insubstantial thoughts with little or no interest clears the airways but occasionally you can grab ahold of a cluster and ask “To whom are these thought-messages intended? I pay attention with little more than a disinterested nod, but you can keep sparkle-ing on while I watch your 4th of July show with nary the slightest opinion!”

Then when you “observe” an all-too-familiar cluster of recurring fear-mongering claptrap designed to unsettle you, look at it under your love microscope and watch the entire cluster peter out.

Either way your “I” is undisturbed, boundlessly and joyfully caressing the “I” of absolutely everyone in the universe, past, present and beyond!

Īsha Upanishad

Īsha Upanishad

That is full; this is full.2 From fullness, fullness comes out. Taking fullness from fullness, what remains is fullness.3 Om shāntih shāntih shāntih.

  1. Everything here, whatever moves in the moving world, is pervaded by the Lord. Enjoy it by way of relinquishing it; cease to take for yourself what to others are riches.4
  2. Always performing actions here, one may aspire to live a hundred years. Thus for you there is no other way than this, whereby action will not cling to you.
  3. Sunless are those worlds called, covered in blinding darkness; there, after departing, go those men who are slayers of the Self.5
  4. It is one, unmoving, swifter than the mind. The senses cannot reach it. It darts ahead. Standing still, it outruns those who run. Within it the breath of life supports all that stirs.
  5. It moves and it moves not. It is far away and it is close by.6 It is within all this. It is outside all this.
  6. He who sees all beings in the Self and the Self in all beings no longer hides in fear.7
  7. For the man of wisdom, in whom all beings have become his own Self, how can delusion, how can sorrow befall that seer of oneness?
  8. He is all-pervading, shining, bodiless, unscarred, without sinews, pure, untouched by sin. He is the seer, wise, encompassing all, self-existent. Through endless time he has ordained objects in due succession.
  9. Into blinding darkness enter those who worship ignorance. Into as if still greater darkness enter those who delight in knowledge.8
  10. “It is other than knowledge,” they say. “It is other than ignorance,” they say. Thus we have heard from the wise who have explained it to us.
  11. Knowledge and ignorance— he who knows both together,9 crosses beyond mortality through ignorance and attains immortality through knowledge.
  12. Into blinding darkness enter those who worship the unmanifest. Into as if still greater darkness enter those who delight in the manifest.
  13. “It is other than existence,” they say. “It is other than nonexistence,” they say. Thus have we heard from the wise who have explained it to us.
  14. Manifest and unmanifest— he who knows both together, crosses beyond death through the unmanifest and attains immortality through the manifest.
  15. The face of truth is hidden by a disc of gold.10 Unveil it, O Pūshan, so that I, steadfast in truth, may see.
  16. O Pūshan, the sole seer, O controller, O Sūrya, offspring of Prajāpati, disperse your rays and gather in your light, so that I may behold your most graceful form. He who is that person afar, I am he.11
  17. Let this life-breath join with the immortal breath. Then let this body end in ashes. Om. Remember, O my understanding, remember what has been done. Remember, O my understanding, what has been done, remember.
  18. Agni, lead us by the good path to prosperity, O radiant one, who knows all our ways. Remove from us our crooked sins. May we offer you abundant words of praise.12 That is full; this is full. From fullness, fullness comes out. Taking fullness from fullness, what remains is fullness.

Mind silent = no problems at all -RAdams

“Never try to solve a problem with a problem. By with a problem I mean you’re trying to use your mind to solve the problem and your mind is the problem all along. When the mind becomes quiet—quiescent, still, peaceful, calm—there is no problem. It’s only when the mind is active that the problems appear to come and go.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Advaita Vedanta merges 2 groups: Believers in God & Self inquiry -SS

If you’re not SHOCKED by Quantum Mechanics, you haven’t understood it. Neils Bohr.
If you’re not SHOCKED by Advaita Vedanta, you haven’t understood it. Swami Sarvapriyananda
TWO GROUPS DEALING WITH CONSCIOUSNESS:
Believers in God. All religions.
Self Inquirers. I think, therefore I am.
The 1st group is always trying to prove its belief in God.
The 2nd group suffers and has so many problems.
ADVAITA VEDANTA MERGES THE TWO APPROACHES AND FINDS HAPPINESS AND BLISS.
