Heaven is not a place. It's a state of awareness. Only by control of the self does one become quiet enough to experience it. x

Love is the ability to see yourself in other things. A worldly person has a small orbit. They love what is close to them or of them. Wife, husband, children, friends, pets, career, food, etc. This is what you practice love on. Their hearts are not fully opened yet. They can love only with discrimination based upon reason. The mind controls who it goes to and in what amount. This is not true love. A divinely realized person has an orbit which encompasses all of creation. They are not at the mercy of the mind and it's limitations so the heart has no restrictions. All is loved equally. Even the vile and profane. A realized person sees no difference between themselves and the divine. Love of self is now seen as love of all things, because you have become all things. Only then will you know what love is. x

The mind is a tool. Thats all it ever was. It helps you navigate this amusement park. Once it has been convinced of it's true nature, permission is granted to seek outside of it's "self". The mind also has the ability to create the material word you see around you. It projects upon the wall of maya, that which you believe in. x

You must look at the world in the same way a naked soul does. Souls come to this world for the experience of doing so. Its no different than someone going to Disneyland. It is the experience. Your soul is nothing more that a spark of the divine itself. Greatly limited because of it's size, but still pulsing with awareness. When you come to this world, you cannot enter as a naked soul. You must put on a very restrictive body, and agree to be tied to it's senses, until you understand you don't have to be. It's a thrill ride. And a darn good one too, huh? Part of the body package is a brain to process stimuli, and a mind which is your user interface in this world. The ego. Now we get into the problem area. The mind has no ability to look into the spiritual realm. It can understand concepts of it, be does not have a range high enough for direct perception. Since this mind, which contains your identity in this world, can't see it's connection to that which created it, it assumes it is alone. It answers to no one other than itself. The world it creates around it is based on physical reality rather than true reality. But hope is not lost. The heart is your true indentity, but the mind makes it sit in the backseat. It can "feel". Without a body. Without a mind. Without an ego. It has unlimited range. The physical universe cannot compare to what the heart can see. The material universe becomes mundane. As you progress on a spiritual path, reality will constantly move beneath your feet. And the things you know in this world now may not be so attractive later on when you see them in a better light. x

It all depends on frequency. All of creation has it's own vibrational rate at which it can manifest. This creates many levels of existance, all co-existing within each other. Its not space that changes because space is pure illusion. It is the mental concept that changes, and creates the reality around you. Including the concept of space and distance, as judged by your physical senses. Your own perception has much in common with a radio. You can tune up and down the dial. At least within your range. A spiritual path is an an attempt increase this tuning range. Beyond what you currently call the world around you. As this range increases, you will see things which cannot be compared with anything you've known in earthly life. When you say there are 10,000 mile high mountains, your mind chokes on the mere concept of it. And this is after the master has given you the simplest explanation he can. You can only imagine what it was that he truly saw. He tempts you to see it for yourself, and be done with "faith". x

Go to a clinic. Both of you. Modern medicine can pinpoint the source of the problem easily. Whichever one of you it is, should not be seen as a disgrace of any kind. There is hope in certain medical procedures than can overcome some problems. Your doctor will advise you if you are a candidate for such a thing. If there is no hope, there are many orphaned children which long for the kind of love you have imagined giving to a child. If you shop around, I'm sure you'll find one whose heart will make your's melt. x

One would think that advanced disciples would be beyond such thoughts, if they did indeed occur. Perhaps this is the reason they were not granted guruship? Its not at all uncommon for a holy man to be surrounded by people who say one thing and do another. A REAL holy man KNOWS. He is privy to the thoughts of his followers. x

There are particles which travel faster than light. The Tachyon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon x

It just semantics. Normal, is worldly, and all the attachment that comes from that. It is an artificial world built by the mind for the mind. Normal, is your natural spiritual state, that has become buried under all the worldy things you have attached to yourself. Religion attempts to give you rebirth by cesarean section. With no religion, your rebirth is natural. x

As a former professional bicycle mechanic, I found it a good read. A bit long winded though. x

I have no practices. I bloomed naturally. x

The only guru I've ever had any contact with is the late Charan Singh of Radhasoami, Beas. He gave me a few basic instructions in a letter and I took them to heart. I've never had any association with other Radhasoami devotees or the organization itself. I have been alone in my spiritual pursuits since the beginning. I have no interest in anything other than the most simple of spiritual truths. The ones that all religions are built upon. The ones that children understand. x

This is the quandary of many seekers. Spirtual life, or normal life? At some point, it begs a question of you. Do you want a normal life? It this not what you are attempting to escape from by being a seeker? While we all have obligations to the outside world, we can steer our lives in such a way that both are possible. It can be difficult with family and children and career, but as you age, these become less and less demanding on your time. IF, you act now. If you don't, the years of normal living will slip by and where will death find you? Its good to be born normal. It is a great misfortune to die normal. x

No sin in being old. Today's scientists are children playing with toys. They don't know the half of it yet. x

There is a certain hierarchy. You are free to explore the spiritual realm on your own, but the trip there and back is more rapid with one who knows the way. False gurus have only read the travel brochure. x
