How Time is On Your Side!

Do you remember the Rolling Stones’ song: “Time is On My Side”?  This article has been written about that kind of time, the kind of time that is truly on your side…on the side of humanity, on the side of progress after a long time of stagnancy and degradation.  Strong words, for sure, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear yourself questioning the previous statement about these times and how time could possibly be on your side, at this time when the globe is experiencing and witnessing a time of one natural disaster after the next, of pandemic, of brutality, of  inhumanity towards another’s human life, compounded by continued human atrocities to nature. Many of the scenes that are playing out at this time are creating a sorrowful darkness for our people and the world of nature. This piece wasn’t written to dwell upon the sorrows of our world, yet they cannot and should not be denied.   Rather my purpose in writing this is to alert you and uplift you and explain how time is of the essence and time really is on your side! 

Most of us are very familiar, although often uncomfortable with chronological time, as there never seems to be enough of it; and it seems to be speeding up everyday.  This type of fleeting time, which we measure through clocks, watches, and calendars is governed by the Greek god, Chronos who is god of time,  god of death, and the god of material consciousness.  As you can see, Chronos governs the 3D world where time doesn’t always seem to be on our side! 

But wait, there is another god of time, and his name is  Kairos.   This Greek governs a very different kind of time; he gives us a different sense of time.  In Kairos Time, one qualifies time in terms of events that make a deep impact on the quality of life.  For example, there are moments in everyone’s life which prove to be highly influential and even life changing.  They may only take moments to transpire (in chronological time) and yet they have the power to change the entire direction of your life, in a matter of minutes!

Kairos Time gives meaning to life that is far beyond ordinary chronological existence.  Some of those key Kairos moments are  ‘enlightenments’, but some are also traumas.  It is as though ‘time stands still’ in those moments.  These types of events change you so totally that you can never go back to what you were before.  The experience of Kairos Time creates new responses, clearer understandings and offer us important, defining, moments in our lives.

However, in order to truly change and evolve there has to be a force operating in time that rejuvenates everything and everyone; that force has to operate on life, physically, mentally, socially, financially, and spiritually in every possible way.  What is needed is a force that can reverse the effect of time!  The force we are talking about is an extremely, powerful, force which carries the state of the world and the states of people from the very bottom to the  very top, from its lowest ebb back to its original, purest and highest condition.

In India, a name for God is Mahakaal which means the Great Time. Maha(great)kaal(time) has the power reverse the effects of time.  Referring back to Mother India for another interesting point-the time, we are in right now, is called the Confluence Age.  A confluence is known to come between two things; in this case …we are an exceptional, though short period of time that has come between two very long periods of time.   The confluence that is now occurring is between the darkest of times and  the coming or the advent of the brightest of times.

The Confluence Age is the only time in our history when we have the possibility to elevate, to evolve, to ascend i.e. it is the only time that we have the force of Mahakaal, the Great Time supporting us to make a leap of consciousness to right all  wrongs and to settle all karmic accounts, both individually and collectively.  The importance of this time is paramount!  Many souls are tuning in to the enormous potential for greatness that is now present.

It is an epic time of both destruction and creation.   It is the peak of destruction which will create the pure opening into another age, an age of beauty, harmony, and prosperity,  the true heaven on earth.

However, in order for heaven on earth to be established, we must let go of  everything of this old world.   The destruction of the old is imminent, for without the complete culmination of the old age, the new age can’t be born.

Life and death, light and darkness, traumas and enlightenment, the natural cycle of life, devolution and evolution, the comings and goings of unprecedented events, it is all upon the stage at this time.  Trust in the greatness of this time, let go of the known shore, let go of your fears, especially the fear of death, for it is  the time for complete renewal, the time for the reset button which comes after death.  Keep your thoughts with the Great Force that is fully reversing the effects of time and bringing in a bountiful age when the earth and all souls are made new once again.

If this article has peaked your interest in some way or raised questions and you would like more information about the times we are in and this concept of the Confluence Age-feel free to contact me at 808-639-9436 to set up a time to share.

Namaste’ and May Time Be on Your Side,

“If you want an easy method for self-transformation, one that brings results, consider self-realization. Self-realization leads to self-transformation, naturally.

What do I need to realize…you may be thinking. Here is what we all need to realise. We are souls, separate from the body. We are children of God, with an originally divine nature of peace and love.

Self-realization BEGINS when our understanding of this BECOMES AN EXPERIENCE. Then it is as if the soul awakens. Truth is awakened. At this point it is no longer about changing ourselves. Instead, we undergo a metamorphosis, in which the soul’s latent beauty simply begins to take over, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

Our original character, our eternal character of virtue and greatness begins to assert itself. To focus our efforts on evoking something lovely, rather than transforming something dreadful, is known as easy effort.

Truly, there is no need to judge ourselves harshly, criticizing ourselves for every mistake. The power to create all the changes we desire lies in the truth of who we are.

We just need to reach that truth and coax it back into being. This will dislodge and replace much of what we otherwise would spend a lot of time trying to change.

HAVING FAITH

All the right thoughts and good feelings you would like for yourself and others already exist within you.

Do you have this faith?

Developing this faith is the real work of those of us on a spiritual path.

Realizing and accepting the highest truth about ourselves is the foundation of spiritual greatness.

It is easy to construct the part of the building that is above ground.

The real work lies in creating the foundation.

There is a gift for you when you do this.

It is called pure pride.

DEVELOPING PURE PRIDE

Pure pride is not ego.

Ego develops from identifying too strongly with the roles we play in the drama of life. Ego weakens truth: we become overly sensitive to other peoples’ opinions and are easily offended. Ego makes us judgmental: it runs an often unconscious mental tape of comments, criticisms, and corrections which distances us from others. If nothing keeps the ego in check, the heart begins to harden, making us more and more selective and prejudiced, closing us off from people and life.

Pure pride, on the other hand, is the result of exploring our spiritual heritage. It is based on the experience of being a soul, a child of God. As peace and love flow from the Supreme to us, souls, His children, the flame of pure pride is re-ignited.

When we operate from pure pride, well-being is internally generated and a new sense of inner security and comfort allows us to be more relaxed in life. We are no longer so easily affected by the moods and opinions of others. There is less effort in being with each other. We find ourselves naturally opening to people, able to accept them as they are, genuinely interested in their well-being. There are feelings of compassion and it is easy to come close. We also become gentle.

When such feelings are again experienced by the heart, and not just simply understood by the head. our values begin to clarify and reaffirm themselves automatically. We are able to discern right from wrong and actually do what is right.

We become free from external influences and behave in a way that reflects the best in us; we are true to the highest truth within.

Pure pride is an experience of self-respect, to a degree that we would, before, never even have imagined possible.

Text borrowed from Spiritual Greatness, a book by the late, great Dadi Janki~Thank you, Dadi!

Here’s today’s message in a nutshell~for us to embody and share with others~~~

Remember the example of the “Waves and the Ocean”:

“Certainly we will receive waves of loving energy from one another. But they pass, as all waves do! The wave is nothing in comparison to the ocean, the unlimited source.  There is an unlimited source of love within all our hearts. Not the heart of our body, the heart of our soul. While waves come and go, the ocean of your love is always only one second and no distance away within your self. You are it! But you can only be aware of being a source of love, when there is an end to wanting waves of love from others. 

The key to drawing on our inner source, our ocean of love, is intention.Only the accurate intention behind our words and actions allows us to draw on our own inner ocean. As we do, without condition, we may even feel “oceanic” which is the feeling that we have an unlimited supply of energy to give. When we feel this unlimited source flowing from within us, it brings with it a happiness that we sometimes call bliss.

Taking these thoughts further is important because of all the “viral beliefs” that have caused the diabetes of the soul, which is the inability to convert the loving gestures of others into the sweetness that will energise us to be capable of reciprocating with the sweetness of our own love. The viral beliefs that have infected us are the ones that told us we need to find love, get love, win love, be loved, before we can know love!!
This is why the vast majority of people on earth at this time suffer from this spiritual disease. 

Let us become the Healer of Hearts, our own and others  Being in the company of unconditionally loving souls, helps the spiritual diabetic slowly relearn how to accept the love of others, which is the same as learning how to be love ourselves. Healing of the heart results in being able to give love, to be loving, and mean it!!!

However, the ‘drugs’ we use as a substitute for love will need to go.  Those substitutes are our dependencies. Whatever we have become dependent on to assuage our temporary inability to be loving and loveful can be called a “drug”.  

Take a moment and write down all the things you are dependent upon both physically and mentally, to see what your personal “substitutes” are.  To identify them, imagine what you currently believe you can not live without. THEN imagine living without those dependencies~as you do you are creating your freedom, preparing yourself for a return to your natural loving state of being. You are preparing for the moment when you are free and open and transparent and available and giving…AGAIN!!!  WITHOUT desiring, wanting, expecting, craving, or attracting anything in return.

You are cured completely from the spiritual disease of diabetes when you fully realise that love is ultimately what you are when the energy of you (&.me) is radiating outwards at its highest level. It is what we are here to do. Love is what the “I” that says, “I am” is, in its highest state of being.  When that is realised then the “Search” for love is called off. …the heart is healed!  

You may even realise that when you are authentically loveful towards others, you are fulfilling the very purpose of life itself. In such moments, the energy of the soul, the self, is fully revitalised and exhaustion, helplessness, hopelessness, and apathy all become fading memories and extremely strange concepts.
Ultimately you cannot ‘manufacture’ an authentically loving gesture.  It is only ‘real’ when it is spontaneous and natural.  But between here and there it does no harm to do a bit of manufacturing! If nothing else it awakens us to a deeper level of self awareness as we explore and understand the ways in which we have blocked our own heart.”

Aloha and Namaste Dear Friend,

In these times it is important to share our joy and enthusiasm with each other…to create balance with the gifts of the spirit  that lift us beyond the things and forms of this material world. 

So…I felt to share with you today this story I came across about the late Robin Gibb(of the Bee Gees) and his wife Dwina Gibb in a book called :What is Spirit?  by Lexie Brockway Potamkin.

Robin and Dwina shared a spiritual path in their marriage.  Each had spiritual experiences at a very young age.  Robin experienced the spirit through writing music as a child and Dwina through prayer and trying to visualise a clear picture of the Divine.

Robin has been known to say: “Music is my religion…I get from hearing a piece of music what many get from religion.  To me it is a very powerful spiritual motivator.” 

After the death of his younger brother Andy, Robin became even more aware of his own spirituality.  He knew that “the body’s life was very short, and that Spirit was forever. It made me feel that time on Earth, in bodies, should be valued and used to nourish the spirit”.

Dwina shares: “that I had always been guided by Spirit…and that when I was very young, I desperately wanted to see God. I didn’t quite believe this image of a big fellow with this big black book writing down good and bad deeds. I had a vision at the age of 8 that changed my mind to thinking of God as the cycles of life.  The concept of God as a judge slipped away because I wanted to feel love. Even though I loved life when I was young and still do, I have always felt disassociated, like this wasn’t my real home.  Luckily, in time, I was guided to a teacher who brought me home to God through a spiritual practice of mediation…and in 1998 I committed to the path of being a Brahmin through the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.

My yogic practice as a Brahmin brings me the experience of being one with all that is.  Many yogas teach about enlightenment and reaching the light.  In this practice you can be in that light, see it, listen to it, feel it, and find knowledge–fast. You don’t have to sit in a cave for ten years.  In a moment of silence, it is as if I plug into a battery~~and everything flows. This has brought me total, unlimited love and happiness.”

  
This is the same yoga (Raja Yoga Meditation) that is shared in our Thursday Class (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) called The Art of Stillness. I also share a guided meditative experience on a call every morning from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. Hawaii time. To join either experience, give a call to 808-639-9436. It is truly time for fast and fulfilling awakening of the spirit.

With Love and Respect,

Sister Shivalaya

p.s. Here’s Robin singing the debut of a song he wrote for Dadi Janki~who recently flew away from her mortal coil at 104 years old.

                                                  Deepening Your Meditation

Throughout the day, watch your thoughts.  As your meditation process becomes firmly ingrained in your life and you can easily slip into the awareness of being the “detached observer, you will find that observing your thoughts becomes more natural.When you recognize that you are creating thoughts or feelings that are negative or wasteful, remind yourself that you are a peaceful and powerful soul and the creator of your own experience.  Give your mind a powerful/loving thought to ponder, not only while you are sitting for meditation, but also while you go about your day. Exercise your right as a self-sovereign soul to choose the thoughts you create.

This simple process will enhance your meditation later on in the day.  Holding thoughts such as “I am a peaceful soul” or “I am a soul using my inner divinity to guide the external world of action” while you are engaged in the world, will actually carry over into your ability to create and sustain  peaceful, positive streams of thought in your meditations. Have faith in yourself, faith in the intellect that you are the rudder of your ship, following the directions of the Highest on High whom you have connected with during your “remembrance”.

Just as your remembrance  empowers your ability to be peaceful, to make good decisions, to act from  self-respect, and to respond rather than react while engaged in life, so your awareness while engaged in life can impact your meditation when you remember the elevated thoughts and contemplations that make you feel good about yourself. 

Chances are if you are experiencing obstacles during meditation it is because you are experiencing stress during the day due to negative thoughts and feelings.  When you notice this, challenge those negative thoughts, stop them, turn yourself around, and give yourself the chance to regroup your thoughts to create a better feeling and thinking mode as you about.  This will make moving into a meditative state easier whenever you choose.
