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 things of the spirit  that lift us beyond the things 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 (with Art by Peter Max).

Robin and Dwina shared a spiritual path in their marriage.  Each had experienced Spirit at a very young age.  Robin 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 felt: “that I had always been guided by Spirit…and that when I was very young, 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 (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) called The Art of Stillness and on Sunday evenings along with Sister Deborah from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in guided and silent meditation.  Lucky you live Kauai…you don’t have to go all the way to India to partake of this blessed experience!!!Drop in some time~~~~~~~OM SHANTI
With Love and Respect,

Sister Shivalaya

                                                  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.

Night class:

Now, both your sun and moon dynasties are being created again. No one else can know as much or become as pure as you do. When they hear that the Father has come, they will begin to remember Him. You will see all of that as you progress further. Hundreds of thousands and millions will continue to understand this. The atmosphere will be such. Everyone will become hopeless in the war at the end. Everyone will be touched. Your sound will spread. Heaven is being established, but there death of everyone is also prepared. However, that time will be such that there won’t even be time to choke. As you progress further, many here will understand a great deal. It isn’t that all of you (who exist now) will be here at that time. Some would have even died. Only those who were here in the previous cycle (at this time) will be here then. At that time, you will all be in remembrance of the one Father. The noise will also be reduced. You will then just continue to consider yourselves to be souls and remember the Father. You will observe all of this as detached observers. There will continue to be many painful calamities. Everyone will come to know that destruction is now to take place and that the world is to change. Reason says that destruction will take place when the bombs are dropped. They now continue to say to one another: Promise that you won’t drop bombs. However, all of those things have been invented for destruction. You children should remain very happy; you know that the new world is being created. You understand that only the Father establishes the new world. There will be no mention of sorrow there. That is called Paradise. Just as you have faith, in the same way, as you progress further, many others will have faith too. What happens is that those who are to have an experience will have many experiences as they progress further. At the end, you will stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance a great deal. Now, there is still some time left. If you don’t make full effort, your status will be reduced. You receive a good status by making effort. At that time, your stage will be very good. You will also have visions. Destruction will take place again as it has every cycle. Those who have faith and have knowledge of the cycle will remain happy. Achcha. Good night to the spiritual children.

I am serene; still in the midst of change.

In stillness, I find solutions.

I chose to move consciousness inside.

Drawing the energies of my mind into a concentrated point of awareness

I reclaim the moment.

I stop time.

Time stops for me.

In this moment, my energy is perfectly balanced, centered, still.

I fill this moment with the power of my concentrated awareness.

I hold stillness.

A reprieve is found in this still moment.

Energy is stored, concentrated.

I am stable, powerful, still, full.

Then slowly I release time.

To move once again at a pace in keeping with the stillness in my mind.

The world benefits.
