Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Namaste. dear ordinary sparrow (and all others who read this..) thank you for your long and thoghtful reply, and for sharing your thoughts and patterns and personal experiences of the grail. Andf at no point do i ever feel you are 'having the answers'. The way I approach this is that we are all on a journey, and we understand things the best way we can from where we are, trying to make sense of the patterns and energetic shapes that we experience, yet always holding that uunderstanding lightly as being an approximation of the truth. I like how you energetically feel out the patterns, and I enjoyed the description of the robed Ma with her feet in the earth and head (grail) in the sky. I also often tend to 'feel' complex patterns which are difficult to put into words, which are more a set of levels of relationships that feed into each other and become each other.. As I was reading through your answer, I felt some understanding emerging which I feel relate to mine (and they may or may not be what you are suggesting or intending). My understanding of the grail is the 'Eternal Source', the light that shines and powers the world of space and time, and when the grail emerges, its a little like realizig 'Plato's cave' analogy. (do you know the metaphor of Plato's cave?) Hidden within the body is the divine spark, which powers and gives rise to the body, and when the timeless divine essence is awoken to and surrendered into, the Grail (identity with eternal life and the ephemeral spring of happiness) is realized, which transcends teh body, yet gets expressed through the body in this plane. As such, my experience is that I recognize this experience, this world, to be the Kingdom of God, right here on earth, and all, no matter how good or bad, is powered by the Light. The kingdom keeps unfolding, and the power of God is not in anyway bound by our convential frames of time and space, and the more deeply the grail is realized, the more that kingdom is allowed to unfold as heaven flowing into the earth through this body and through the action of the body. I enjoyed reading how you live the Grail. What is emerging for me as I read this is your expression of the grail in your physical form as being an ongoing process of acting from your deepest truth, even if that is difficult for the world around you (when you threw a race). I see this (again, my opinion) as how God unfolds within us, as the call to live in honor and in accordance with our highest self and our highest vision. I wrote a response to about bills question 'what's it like to be enlightened' and perhaps one of the facets of the answer (I am not claiming any enlightenment, just unfolding experience) where my Grail, my higher self, is calling for its expression through me as a Holy Warrior, being called to uphold the vision of my way through a fierce interaction with teh world, and behind that interaction, there is a joy. I feel that sense of joy and rightness when aligned with the authenticity of the higher self (or the expression of the divine spark as is requested from where we are currently at) is a clear sign that what we are doing is right. Perhaps then the Gift of the grail has two key points, and 1) is the deep recognition that there is a light that powers the forms we experience as this body and through this body, and knowing that ones essence is the Light, not seperate from God, the source. 2) is the recognition of the call to live with integrity to the highest self, and increasing clarity of what the vision of that integrity is.. (I hope these ramblings make sense).. I feel tremendously blessed by K for bringing me into greater alignment with the internal vision of the higher self, and inner blocks are being continuosly released and I feel this resulting as a relentless continuous drive with greater intensity and clarity to act from my highest truth and bring forth changes in the world from my highest truth. I feel more aligned now than ever before, and that is a wonderful feeling, to be in touch with the truth of my being rather than being snared in the deceptions of the ego..(I say this lightly as I never know what learnings are around the corner and I am very well skilled at failing tests.. lol..)
