Dear Jeff,

 

 

 

 

 

An interesting post. I am interested in 'Breath Awareness'

as it may dovetail in with my own practice of Diving Into the Heart with

breath inhalation, retention and exhalation, see my article on this topic in

Luthar.com

 

 

 

 

 

Warm regards,

 

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to hearing from you,

 

 

 

 

 

Yours in Bhagavan,

 

 

 

 

 

Alan

Harsha,

 

Hope you don't mind this

cross post from my group. It

seems to fit so well with the

Pure Light post.

____________ _________ ____

 

A little cosmic cruisin'

 

As the introduction to this group

reads, the Mystic Heart School of

Meditation offers both spiritual

guidance and practical wisdom;

that is, the premise here is

that from the faithful practice

of meditation and intention comes

practical wisdom, and by grace,

a discovery and/or renewal of

our inherent natural enlightenment.

 

Enlightenment has two meanings

in this regard. To be enlightened

'about' something is to be well

informed about a subject matter -

practical wisdom.

 

Enlightenment in the spiritual

or philosophical sense (philo-

sophical means 'words about

wisdom') is about a new awareness -

lighting up your mind to discover

previously unknown or forgotten

inner wisdom; specifically in the

spiritual sense, our Oneness

with God (Source...).

 

Of course, we are discreet and

distinctly in an individual human

form. Yet, when we practice the

simple process in the foundational

meditation taught here called,

'Quiet Awareness' we shift from

simply being a body/being that

occupies a certain space in time

to our 'awareness' of that being.

 

So, we have a body AND we have

awareness of that body/mind being.

 

And who is it that is aware of

....ourself? A way to consider this

is to think of the physical body

as a 'vehicle' that 'carries'

awareness. One step further would

be to think of the body as solid

and awareness as light...ah,

that's what we talking about -

enlightenment: awareness that

who we really are is composed

of...light - light that is the

abiding place of cosmic consciousness.

 

The more we step into that light

awareness, the more we realize

that there is a 'witness' to our

life as we know it...and the

witness is US!

 

Meditation and spiritual guidance

are techniques for coming more

and more into awareness of our

pure being - as pure light, as

pure spirit. What comes with

this deepening awareness is an

expanded consciousness that

takes us beyond our individual

self-identity and begins to

see the 'silver thread' (a

metaphor, not literal) of our

connection with everyone and

everything. Much, much more comes

with it, but this is an aspect.

We'll explore many other aspects

of enlightenment on these

occasional cosmic cruises.

 

As you look outside on a sunny

day (or any daylight) imagine

for a moment that who you are

is that light - encompassing

all that is, universally. From

this perspective we can say

that we are 'a spark of God's

own fire', we can begin to

sense our own divinity.

 

OK, enough cosmic cruisin'

for today. Let's pull over

and see who is still aboard.

 

Tickets, please. That means,

post a response if you want

to stay on this ride, and

for those who have an interest,

we'll go on to 'Breath Awareness'.

 

Love,

 

Jeff
