“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 spiritual topics and how they relate to everyday life- I share about meditation and the soul with the trust that this will nourish your awareness of yourself and others as souls and contribute to an increased sense of joy of living and serving at this time of great and sudden change.
Life has placed me n the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 33 years ago. During the last 26 years, I've been here on the island of Kauai, the oldest, northern most, and in my experience, the serenest island in the Hawaiian chain.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up 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 my own 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 humanity unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of peace, love, wisdom, self respect, and living as a soul.
Through these writings- I aim to build a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light and the light of others.
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, Forest of Honey. It is a unique 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 , take classes, connect with a beautiful international spiritual family and be immersed in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We enjoy delicious and lovingly prepared meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and the joy of 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 that you are. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean some 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.
