Most of what I write about can benefit anyone and does not need specialized knowledge or beliefs to put into practice. However, the simplest direction is often the most profound and must be especially clear and exemplified by the speaker in order to be understood.
For example: the direction to become pure from impure, to become simple from complex, to become happy from sad, to become sensible from senseless, or to become peaceful from peaceless. Who wouldn’t want to become all of this?
In the practice of Raja Yoga, we are given a simple directive from the Supremely Beloved to remember the One with love as much as possible. To stay in this remembrance even while walking, cooking, eating, and moving around will create happiness, purity, simplicity, sensibility, and peace. This is a clear teaching. Here we only receive this one direction, a wonderful direction to attain everything.
Yet there are many who don’t believe it can be done. Many others believe that God is everywhere and so they cannot have accurate remembrance of this One. They don’t know how to direct their mind, when it is jumping all over the place like the proverbial monkey!
As a newcomer takes up this study, the first lesson is to “consider yourself to be a soul”, invisible, immortal, eternal, unlimited, and indestructable! This is the first AND last lesson of all, getting our identity right! Then it becomes easier to connect your essence, you, the light with the Light of the Supreme Light.
The second lesson is “who and where is God?” How can I remember this One, without knowing the name, form, and location of this Soul? With this knowledge, this introduction, there is a chance, we are not just shooting in the dark. The light of consciousness has been lit when gifted with this knowledge. The knowledge that the form of God is the same as the form of every soul, a point of brilliant light…and the home of all souls, including the Supreme Soul is Nirvana, the soul world…a realm of golden red light. Beyond the sky is another sky.
Now it is time to experiement and experience the reality of this knowledge. This is where the fun begins!
It is not a mystery, although it can be mysterious how one goes from being locked in a body of flesh and bones to becoming a free spirit, afloat in the Divine World of Nirvana.
This is our practice, understanding that truly I am a bodiless soul, free to explore and uplift this world, by going beyond this world into the sky beyond this sky to reunite with my eternal, bodiless Parent, to “recharge”and to give the soul the strength to navigate this earthly world with its own valuable resources that emerge from within.
If any part of this journey sounds exciting, exhilarating, and inspiring (and necessary) to you, then fly off to your nearest Brahma Kumari Center to experience and experiment with remembering who you are and uniting with Supreme Bliss. If you are lucky to live on Kauai and would like to experience the beautiful and unlimited state of soul consciousness in meditation, leave a comment of personal message me to set up a convenient time to learn. All guidance is free!
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.
