giving birth

[Guest guest]

Sending this especially for Kheyala... soon, soon!! Love, GloriaDogen says:

 

You should understand the meaning of giving birth to a child. At the

moment of giving birth to a child, is the mother separate from the

child? You should study not only that you become a mother when your child

is born, but also that you become a child. This is the actualization of

giving birth in practice-realization. You should study and investigate

this thoroughly.

Thank you, Gloria. I do feel like a tiny child when the

immensity of Life makes itself known to me, and that will certainly

be unavoidable when labor kicks in, as I am sure you remember!

 

It's late and I've just come back from the sunset spot. I feel like

sharing what happened.

 

I haven't been moved to go there for quite a while. When I pulled up

tonight there were a whole bunch of people. Seemed like everyone I'd

ever met since I started going there was in attendance. Anyway, they

looked over their shoulders to see who had arrived and when they saw

it was me they all started clapping!

 

I clapped, too, because I was overjoyed to see such loving faces. It

turned out that they were just asking each other about me: where've I

been, who'd seen me last, has the baby come, etc.

 

This was such a surprise because I generally go there to be in

solitude (once in a while I'll run into one or two others) and

tonight it was as if Someone had thrown me a surprise party full of

loved ones! It was totally sweet.

 

We watched the sun go down and the moon come up and the planets

appear and then the beginnings of the stars. It was nothing short of

satsang.

 

When we said goodnight, everyone wished me smooth sailing with the

birth and I felt very incredibly blessed.

 

Wow. I think I will have sweet dreams tonight, and am now wishing

the same to all of you!

 

With Love,

Kheyala

Dear Kheyala,

 

Thank you for sharing this spontaneous satsang story with us... so splendid!!

(ok, enough s's - I get silly when giddy with smiling.) Your many friends online

are all clapping for you too, as we wonder when and if...and wishing you smooth sailing.

 

You have to be one of the easiest persons to love I have ever met, really!!!

 

Love,

Gloria

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
