Complacency, contentment

February 4, 2009

Hi chrism – I find that I have undergone what might be described as a

paradigm shift in my overall perspective on life – I am in a place and

state of general contentment with where I am – almost as if I could

happily go off and hibernate somewhere so as to maintain that status

quo. I say `general' as I still yearn to know more, but that yearning

comes from a happy and stable base and manifests as an ongoing and

enthusiastic progression along this path. I have become highly

sensitive towards people and some circumstances that can be almost

embarrassingly emotional, and find myself getting really distressed

when faced with some of the `nasties' that characterize so many

people's behaviour in this nick of the woods where I live - to the

extent that I feel strongly like interfering where I should not, or

just wanting to distance myself as far as possible from such

goings-on. My wife, who has been very much a `spectator' in respect

of development in this context has, very much of her own accord and

without prompting, started meditating and is, I sense, developing

rapidly although she is still coming to terms with what is occurring.

Her intuition and compassion for others is growing at an exponential

rate. It has strengthened the bond between us incredibly. That

development in itself has been a source of great joy. Without in any

way wishing to appear arrogant I have that feeling of `knowing much'

albeit having so much more to learn, and while my meditation is very

`uneventful' at present I do get answers to many of my questions. By

way of an example in response to seeking for greater discernment re

assessing both my own and the state of others for healing and related

purposes, I received the very simple but cogent reply of `open your

eyes, your mind and your heart'. Nothing ambiguous in that!

My life conditioning has primarily been that of `fighting' for

everything and so this current state is a welcome change. Being

accustomed however to that fighting stance am I being complacent and

should then be stepping up the input in some respect, or is this the

calm before a coming storm?

Blessings - Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

You are experiencing and expressing in great form

Jonathan. So much so that your radiance is having an effect on your

wife's options for her expressive choices.

Grace knows our experience and will cultivate a unique set of

communications for each of us. As she meditates your wife is

constantly exposed to your energy and being in your field as you begin

to express the Kundalini. In a loving and respectful depth of devotion

and loving commitment for another person inside of an awakening

context the gift of tactile grace may be shared. Slowly or quickly as

is our unique perspective experienced.

May there be profuse blessings of grace for your dear wife and for

you Jonathan.

I suggest that you enjoy your experience and at the same time express

your surrender and motivation for the blessings of love to awaken

within your experience. It grows and grows and changes expression from

gratitude in its severe form into the areas of the " love of all and

unity consciousness " .

Remember the importance of being a Kundalini radiating person. You can

effect those around your from their moods to their energetic dynamics.

How they feel about themselves and what personal issues become exposed

when this kind of equation engages a Kundalini field the feelings can

change immediately. Often towards a joyful or playful feeling or a

sudden healing of certain issues. So merely by being what you are

becoming your service is being given.

Your personal preparation in life has given you the view from a

distant and yet often experienced choice in our society. The nature of

enforced assertion is a strength and a form of domination. This can

serve one well in the areas of discipline. Martial artists and

spiritual warriors will come here to explore the invitation of the

search for enlightenment and the gift of grace through the warrior

pose. It is an honored expression.

It makes for some nicely stark contrasts for your Kundalini

experiences as well. Your transformation is going very well I feel.

Enjoy the flight. - blessings to you Jonathan. - chrism

Hi Jonathon,

I read your post and it got me thinking. I also read Chrisms post and

that answer resonates well. I just wanted to give my take on 'being

complacent'.

I went through quite a transformation from thinking I had to do

everything, to realizing I wasnt in control and Spirit is running the

show. At first, I thought, ok, just relax, everything is perfect how

it is. That's really important, to realize that its not about you and

that there is a greater intelligence running everything, and things

are always as they need to be and always already perfect.

That said, what comes next? Does one just sit back? What I found is

that if I can be truthful about my impulses, then they desire to

bring about love, contribution, fun, growth, liberation, connection,

creativity and so on, all (IMHO) divine impulses. SO, my task is to

get real about those divine impulses, as I am the vehicle for gods

expression and gods creation, and then through skillful means, ie

learning how to dance with the world, I start to be active in

creating results that I want, which embody the above mentioned love,

connection, humor, joy, learning etc.

SO, my body has natural impulses which I honor, and I let them bring

me into action with the world. As I become more conscious, I am aware

of the results I want (my creative vision) and so I start to learn

how to create that. Behind the dance is always surrender, as I never

really know how anything will come into being. I just try and bring

as much copnsciousness to the moment as possible, and that includes

my inner world, how I see the world, how other see me, the game I am

playing, and so on. It gets really fun then. In that creative dance,

you can adopt the warrior (masculine) qualities as needed.

It was a massive relief when I realized I didnt have to run the show

and make things happen

Thats my 50 cents

Love

Bruce

I just had an AhHa moment after reading this. Surrendering puts us up

at a higher platform to take effective action (in the world and inside

us) from a place of love and trust. We have been given an internal gps

system to make it back home just as the salmon has one to return to

its original birth pond. Though this intuitive guidance is not yet

strong/clear in me, through repeated surrendering and trusting the

messages will become louder and clearer.

"That's really important, to realize that its not about you and

that there is a greater intelligence running everything, and things

are always as they need to be and always already perfect."What does this say about freedom, though? Since there is something (whatever it may be) running the show, is there even a such thing as freedom?"That said, what comes next? Does one just sit back?" I think that we have the innate choice to sit back whenever we please, and/or to become a fully participating member of the show whenever we please. Developing a stable equilibrium between sitting back and participating is the best thing one can do for oneself; both carry their own benefits as well as drawbacks."It was a massive relief when I realized I didnt have to run the show

and make things happen :)"Not many things are much more massively relieving.....
