“Imagine yourself 500 years in the future, in a sweet place in which you can’t remember your old life. The old ‘you’ and the ‘old world’ is not even a faint, but distant memory; it’s just a blip in eternity. Once you feel this state…you’ll feel free. You’ll recognize who you really are.
Joseph Campbell said to invest at least an hour a day when you don’t know your name or your gender, who you owe or who owes you – a time each day where you simply exist in your peace and bliss.
Take it a step further, as you dive into your bliss and die alive. Let go of everything completely, where you don’t even know life exists and all you are is an eternal soul… truly you’ll feel nothing but silence and profound bliss.
The more we die alive, the more we can truly live. Because to live as a temporary guest in this world is to live as an immortal being, free from fear, worry, negativity, and illusion. This is truly living.
Die to the negative, draining, and non-supportive things. Give up what’s not working and allow life to flow from a state of grace.
When you die alive, all the love of God and bliss comes rushing to greet you, the moment you let go.
Let go, let go, let go, and learn to live as a soul. Then you’ll get to know who you are and who God is.
Dying alive means to stop being ordinary. It means to stop blaming other people. It means to let go of getting upset over spilled milk and pointless small talk.
It means to give up obsessions, addictions, and all the dirty little pleasures that make life sickenly sweet. Stand in your own power, as an eternally free being.
Choose to stop feeding the illusions; choose to let go of the non-essentials. Choose to focus on your own life and what you need to do. Focus on what the Beloved wants you to do today? How you can show up and serve another?
What can I do to become free and help others be free?
Dying alive means to allow the idea that “I am this body” to dissolve.
It means taking 100% responsibility for life; it means to stop blaming others; and it means giving up negative thoughts and feelings. Fully. Unconditionally.
Dying alive means letting go of what is not who you are eternally. Dying alive is what is left when your body is long gone…the real you that is here right now and exists forever.”
Excerpt from the classic How to Know God by Michael Macintosh and Arielle Hecht
Aloha Beautiful Soul,
Thank you for visiting Enlightened Answers. These writings are my on-going churnings of deep spiritual studies and reflection upon the self - Along with this, there is constant meditation. Both meditation and daily attention to spiritual study which leads to awareness of the self have immeasurably nourished me and increased the joy of living and serving I'm able to experience in these times of great and sudden change.
It has also been my fortune to be situated in the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 31 years ago. The past 25 years, I've been on the oldest, northern most, and serenest island of Kauai.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up of a chain of seven islands- Kauai, the Garden Isle, is situated at the top of the chain and is often called the "crown" of the Hawaiian islands. Kauai is also called the Island of the Golden Light, and the Island of Discovery for good reason! Truly this is where I was led in order to discover the wonders of the inner golden light ignited by the Supreme Light. It is here that I continually reinforce the awareness that- I am a peaceful, loving soul, a being of light*- just as you are. This journey has led me to surrender the rest of this life to the Divine Beloved, the One who loves unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of purity, love, wisdom, & altruism. Through these writings- I am building a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light.
For over fifteen years, I've had the fortune of traveling to northern India- to the state of Rajasthan- where the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual University is perched atop Mt. Abu.
This wonderful oasis of light is also called Madhuban which means Forest of Honey. It is a pilgrimage place dedicated to the Remembrance of who we truly are -- eternal souls. This awareness also brings us into the natural relationship and remembrance of the Eternal One- the Creator God- Beloved of All.
I go to Madhuban to meditate and study in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We are a spiritual family who enjoy solitude, as well as unity. We enjoy delicious spiritually charged meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and communing with like-hearted souls from across the globe. Madhuban is a pure, divine container that serves those who wish to live according to the highest spiritual codes. It is a place designed for souls to have a deep, rich, and loving meeting with the Supreme Soul. My annual journeys there have enriched my life immeasurably, beyond words. I've become a peaceful soul who honors the peaceful soul of you. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean deep soul answers from these writings. Take the jewels that touch you, make them your own, and share them, for "giving and receiving freely" is a good part to have at this time of great transformation.
