The Supreme Bliss

"The inquiry  'Who am I?' is the principal means to the removal of all misery and the attainment of the supreme bliss."

Ramana Maharshi

False Separation

Awe Of God

Jewish tradition teaches man how small he is and how great he can become. Do not be frightened of God. Stand in awe of Him. Fear weakens the spirit. Awe strengthens it. Fear is demoralizing. Awe is uplifting.

Awe of God is the acknowledgment of the distance between man and his creator, which only lifts man to greater heights. In no way does it minimize the human desire to achieve truth. On the contrary, awe of God or Heaven evokes the feeling of dignity in man as he sees himself part of the greater scheme of creation.

Your Burden

What is the burden you carry? What do you carry around with you all the time? What is that thing that weighs you down...that makes you sad, hurt, or angry? Try and change the way you think about your burden. Try to think of it as something beautiful, because it is...it is one of the things that has made you unique, it is what makes you, you. Bundle it up into a sack that you can throw on your shoulder to carry. Come with us on our journey and lay it at The Master's feet. It will become your offering....your offering of some of the pain you have endured while making it through this physical existence. Begin you journey with us.

Enjoy Life!

The Phoenix

Picture by Emma Spears

The Phoenix is a mythological bird that, when its life nears an end, builds a large nest of twigs and odoriferous spices and gums which burst into flames. The bird is entirely consumed in fire and dies only to rise again from its own ashes...

How many times in your life have you gone through a Phoenix-like experience? A death and resurrection...

Metempsychosis...The Transmigration Of The Soul

On the semi-barbarous north-eastern frontier of Thrace, about the 6th century BC, the doctrine of metempsychosis began to be taught by the legendary musician, poet, and prophet Orpheus.The soul and body are united by a compact unequally binding on either; the soul is divine, immortal and aspires to freedom, while the body holds it in fetters as a prisoner. Death dissolves this compact, but only to re-imprison the liberated soul after a short time: for the wheel of birth revolves inexorably. Thus the soul continues its journey, alternating between a separate unrestrained existence and fresh reincarnation, round the wide circle of necessity, as the companion of many bodies of men and animals." To these unfortunate prisoner souls Orpheus proclaims the message of liberation, that they stand in need of the grace of redeeming gods and calls them to turn to God by ascetic piety of life and self-purification: the purer their lives the higher will be their next reincarnation, until the soul has completed the spiral ascent of destiny to live for ever as God from whom it comes.

I work toward that final permanent liberation of my soul and pray for the release of yours...
