The gift giving and receiving is a problem for many.

I find that, what I call hard heartedness, is a deep-rooted problem of many, sinister, would be a good way to put it. People have grown indifferent at a time that the spiritual significance has been lost. We have forgotten what true thanksgiving is about. We celebrate it’s loyally to those people who landed on the banks of some waters, but thanksgiving, giving thanks, praising God for the opportunity to be in the human existence, and desire nothing but to return to bliss and peace, and live the life accordingly.

People have forgotten what Christmas is all about, or suppose to be. Yes, it is the spirit of giving, but even that has stretched so far away from its truth, and people have become sinister, they have become hard in their hearts. Many people find the holiday time to be a time to survive, get through it, feel as though they have fought the battle and won. Some feel that the battle is too hard to fight, and they give up.

The gift giving and receiving is a problems for many. The obligatory gift giving and receiving, rather than giving with a heart filled with love. Buying a gift is easy, putting ones heart and thought into any individual that they may really want to give something to, is so important. Because people are so overwhelmed time becomes a problem, there isn’t time to sit and think, what is it I’d really like to give from my heart. There isn’t time because there is work, and shopping, there is cooking to do, there are presents to wrap, there are people to see, and places to go, and before you know it, one is overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, becoming emotionally distraught. There are those who decide that, that is not something they even want to try, or they have tried it and they’ve become sinister. So, they don’t make the time in their life to do these things. They don’t include it in their day, they don’t cook, they don’t want to shop, they don’t want to have to face what they consider a painful time.over time. The impressions we have created in

Character is built from thoughts and actions over time. The impressions we have created in our own mind come from taking them in through our senses. Character is built of habitual thoughts and actions. This, over time creates separation from The Divine.

Mother Earth (ME- Saham – I am She. She is me.)

In Tantra Yoga, one worships The Mother, the feminine in all of Her Sacredness. It is said to be the most effective advanced method of inculcating motherly feelings. Just think of it, “if the world is The Mother and all creatures are the family, loneliness, fear, and desperation would be non-existent”. It is said in Tantric Yoga teachings, what else could be needed but the acceptance of The Mother. She will love you without conditions. She will always do for you. Therefore, She is the One to be realized. A true Mother knows nothing else but love for her child. To really understand the oldest religion on earth we really must recollect the saying Mother Earth (ME- Saham – I am She. She is me.).  We must accept the reality of the ancient teachings based on time dimension, that God was female for well over 200,000 years of human existence on earth before human religions and organizations ever existed. It was the spirit of our earliest ancestors. The Great Mother Herself was autonomous, is autonomous, The True Creator of the world, The Sustainer of all. She took total responsibility of all good and bad in the world, all being children of Her own Creation. In Nepal, Mount Everest was early on considered Mother’s breasts. The saying is Mother Mountain of the Universe. It is found in the world’s oldest myths on Creation that god, the female, created the world from her own body. Of course there is no mention of this truth in western and modern religions.

Rulers are self-righteous.

Difficult it is at times for me to speak with you about the downtrodden way of human existence, only because I might rather speak to you about the Love and the Beauty and the Truth behind all the illusion.

Truths are streaming from the consciousness within me and the energy with which I speak to you about the nature of being human, and how it is that we can overcome some of those limitations of our own humanness.

Righteousness and self-righteousness, well, righteousness is said to be virtuousness, or at times even called godly, if you will, morally good. Or a righteous being is said to be a being who attempts to live by the true morals.

The self-righteous being of course is something quite different. I’d like to start with you about telling you that I think that the path of the self-righteous is quite obvious. Only because there are so many of us living in self-righteousness that it’s quite apparent. But, I will say to you that because there is so much self-righteousness that people fall into line like cattle and living in that way, and it is not so apparent to most people. It’s considered a way of life. It’s even acceptable. The thoughts and the actions of such a priggish individual do not take into their lives the thoughts of others unless the priggish being denotes even the slightest element of personal gain.

Think of it, we, right now, must be certain as to our understanding. I want you to be certain as to your understanding of self-righteousness in our judgment of such a being, all right. I didn’t say judgmentally, I said just judgment, which we all need to have good judgment. I say judgment, because I believe that every human being could take what I am saying on good and bad judgment. Now, you may call it an opinion of mine if you’d like, but I will say to you that it is a judgment based on pure perception and knowledge. Together the ultimate definition of pure perception and knowledge is wisdom, wisdom. That is something the charlatan can never claim. Truth and Love are not foreign to this ostentatious pretense of a person, the self-righteous being that we’re speaking of. However, Truth and Love are bound up egotistically to the individual’s heart by the many thousands of threads called conceit.

It is quite interesting to me to see the many beings who are so tightly bound up in self-aggrandizement posing as pious leaders. Remember, we spoke in the beginning that righteousness was virtuous or pious we might say. I realize that by speaking about the pious leaders you may feel, oh we’re stepping out of our talk together here about self-righteousness, because it immediately jumps to large-scale. Many of you may say, “Well that’s out of my hands. There’s nothing I can do about that. That’s the hierarchy of the world leaders. What does that actually have to do with us as individuals, what can we possibly do about that?” I will tell you that there is nothing that you can really do to change another, only yourself.

First you may want to begin to introspect as you read this. Self analyze, go deeply into that short concise definition of the self-righteous that was given to you in the beginning. Ask the question, What is the binding link of the self righteous being? I will tell you that it is “I”, “mine”, and I and mine are all in the mind. It’s all about self interest. The concept of win, or gain power at all cost. This is the matter concerning the self-righteous individual, or peoples. It is not in the thinking process of the righteous being. Rulers are self-righteous.

Cultural, Societal, Religious, Political and Familial are limitations in our life.

What are our most common limitations? I’m sure that’s a question. It’s really quite simple. The cultural, societal, religious, political, familial, and of course the, what I would call hidden preexisting limitations of our prior lifetimes. We remain on the wheel of samsara seeking refuge in any given existence. Striving for survival with a minimal effort. Attempting to reside within our limitations. Creating what we believe to be a safe protective type realm. All the while creating a cocoon of unforeseeable darkness, otherwise known as ignorance. For even when we counter a limit we do so within the limitation of our own perceptions. That is, that something is being done to us that we cannot or will not tolerate, and we fight it with our limited knowledge, and understanding. Often wall ourselves in even more. I know a way out. Acceptance with non-cooperation, minus resistance. Acceptance of our limitations, and not cooperation with these limitations that keep us immobilized. And not resisting because that keeps us on the treadmill of those limitations. Do you understand?

If we are to transcend limitations of time and space, then we must be willing to acknowledge that, what we are unaware of is a fear, based in uncertainty of the unknown. We must acknowledge that nothing in life is certain accept death. And therefore, all paths leading to this one certainty need be explored and understood. This is truly a step to freeing ourselves from these patterns of limitation that I speak to you of.

In our moments between the comfortable certainty of a limitation and the movement toward the unknown is a vast wealth of knowledge that if will one can relax into and forever change the direction of thought in ones own mind to include and/or expand the constant reoccurring flow of limited concepts, beliefs, and perceptions.

We might even conclude here that this is a goal of human existence. That is to go beyond ourselves, and reach into the akash. For to do so lends us the peace of mind that there is nothing really threatening to annihilate us. For our very soul is immortal. Our very existence precludes that our every step in life is a mastering of some aspect of our life. However slow it might be, we do eventually exceed all limitations, eventually.

In my attempts to show you about these unfortunate realms of limitations that are lurking in the human mind. You know to challenge your own limitations is to compete within oneself, and not with each other for rightness, and the need to prove each other wrong, and the need to somehow force others to accept, and live by our limitations, because we are fearful of change. Do you understand that?

One must release oneself from the limitation of self-righteousness. It is not important that our opinions be heard and understood by another. Yet, it is for us to hear and understand, and come to accept the limitations of each other without imposing those limitations on one another in any way.

To transcend our karmic limits or limitations, and the ensuing limitations of our environment requires willingness, courage, which by the way, courage is strength of mind. That’s what courage really is. And it also requires most importantly, discipline. Discipline is easy to come by with a strong mind.

Now, that you have asked yourselves the questions about your own limitations and fears, and perhaps somehow come to acknowledge your environment, evaluate which ones that you have become dispassion about, if any. And which ones still direct the flow of your thought and action in your life to this moment. Which ones do you need to take action with in order to expand your mind, and to insure steps to a greater awareness within yourself, ultimately, a Self Conscious Awareness. This is beyond knowledge. Remember, wisdom is the means to truly living a peaceful existence. For with wisdom you are free of all limitation. You can live within the confines of the limitations of society, culture, politics if there is wisdom that is your guiding force. Then outside limitations have no meaning. But the limitation within oneself keeps one from living free.

Please accept the many blessings from This One to you.

We are the bringers, creators, and ultimately the resolvers of our own karma.

I would like to begin  with this Truth: Ultimately we are the bringers of our own karmas, the creators of our own karma. Ultimately, we are the resolvers of our own karma.

The sooner we accept responsibility for our own lives and that which we have created around us, the sooner we will not look outside of ourselves to point the finger at anything or anyone as being the responsibility for the life that we lead, ultimately we could say that this is our goal, that we accept responsibility for our life and the path that we walk. As soon as we are able to do that then we are able to understand better the purpose of our human existence.

When there is a bit of an understanding of our purpose, then we are able to embark on our spiritual journey with aspiration. Inspired by the very fact that we are the ones who got ourselves into this, and therefore we can get ourselves out of it, these binds of karma that we are ultimately responsible for. Image if everyone took the responsibility for their own self, for their own actions, their own speech, thoughts, and their own deeds, basically responsibility for their soul’s existence.

Perhaps if there was nothing or no one else to blame, then we might find that we would go about our existence quite differently. Of course, as I say this to you it would do well for us to know that in other ways we actually take the responsibilities for another’s actions in order for us to ride high on the horse of glory, so you see how that works.

The example that I’ve used at times is of course the hostile taking over of the Chinese occupation of Tibet and all of Her people. I also make reference to hostile consumption of land and all the American Indian people in the formation of what we call these United States. Both of these responsibilities are seated in oppression of egotistical minds which believe themselves to be the power necessary for the taming and training of otherwise heathenistic ignorant beings. It is the forced extinction of others that we term as a threat to an evolution of an accepted concept that we call growth. Do you understand?

Modern westernized religions proclaim the necessity of taking the responsibility of instilling their methods of insuring that our soul will not rot in hell. This method is conversional force. These people use these methods to take responsibility for taking over your life from mind to pocketbook, and wear down the very childlike spirit that otherwise keeps a person searching, searching for the answers for the mystery of their life, of all of life. I’m not so sure that it’s wise to take the responsibility of lording over another’s life force and honing them in, into the direction of inertia. Eventually, it appears to be a matter of one extreme or the other. People become inert as though they’ve had a lobotomy, or people become euphoric and caught up in the mania, thus making God The Mother responsible for everyone and everything. In the end, asking questions to the mysteries of life is not acceptable. I would say to you that this is a cult in western terms any way that you choose to look at it.

Transcending our limitations.

When we were young many limits were placed on us. Many for our own benefit, and our own well-being. And many for the benefit perhaps of others, and our living together.

All limits are based on generations of concepts, beliefs, and perceptions. These limitations, that I’m speaking of right now, were mostly imposed by the parents, and family members, and our immediate surrounding environment. Some of those limitations were changed and rearranged so to speak, to fit the times that we were living in, in our own environment. From there, of course we grew accordingly, that is according to those limitations. It is from these limitation that we as children and growing human beings exercised our individuality, and concretized our preexisting personality traits, with regard to limitations. These ways then became our patterns of existence. Now, whether we made changes in these limitations or not we still tend to follow them unconsciously, because it is all that we have to go on to form our own existence, our own world around us.

According to the laws of cause and effect we come into this life with self-imposed restriction. The ancestors of our bloodline have passed the structural limitations of their history throughout time. So, we are then a combination of their limitations and our own. This process of boundaries is the formula that creates our prejudices, our judgmentalness, and it is the basis of our attitudes with which we proceed through the human existence or any given lifetime. Most of us are actually quite comfortable in these limits and we actually strive to remain within them, for to step beyond them is certain to bring about discomfort, and the uncertainty of change. However, there are a great many people who will push beyond these limits that I’m speaking to you of. For instance, some will do so simply to resist just for the sake of countering, period. Others do so for the desire to expand their knowledge, and their understanding, with the purposeful intent to strengthen their mind, and further their awareness.

Human existence is created by our previous thoughts and desires.

I don’t know that I can say that it was so much a decision, as much as forgetfulness of Ahambramasmi, “I Am The Self Existent One”. Now, be careful this is not an ego bound thing I’m saying, although it is used in that way by much of humanity. Saying, Ahambramasmi, “I Am The Self Existent One”, is a matter of Absolute Knowledge that the physical human existence is created by our previous thoughts and desires. But, in fact the Self Existent One, the true nature, the Soul, She is the center of our being and the cause of all else.

In the decline of memory we have suffered, and still suffer the illusion that we are apart from The Creator, and not a part of The Great Mother, this causes great pain. This descent has caused the wheel of samsara. This cycle you asked about of birth, life, death, and rebirth to turn; owing our power of spiritual ignorance to attachment, aversion, pleasure, pain, vice, and virtue. These are the struggles we have in the human existence. This is the problem of separateness.

We see life as finite existence, and we are constantly fluctuating in our insecurities, our beliefs that suffering is the way of life, and we hold to a determined permanence of ignorance, rather than determining through the use of free will to attain liberation from it all, from the binds that hold us separate from our original harmonious nature. Our original state is joy. Happiness, I often say is our birth right, but, happiness is a fleeting thing in the human existence. We look to outward means for the attainment of what we call happiness. When in fact to merge into The Divine energy within our very own Self, the very center of our being would give rise to a flood of joy unlike most people ever experience in any given lifetime. What are we willing to let go of in our facade of separateness in order to experience, or to take in one drink of the nectar of joy, which is at the very center of our self.

Through the spiritual path of yoga one attains peace by contemplation, meditation, and reflection. Therefore, one eventually comes to the Realization that there is a great deal of action being taken to alleviate ones pain and suffering caused by ignorance. This is the path or pursuit in itself. There’s nothing romantic about it I assure you. Heaven and hell are states of mind. As well as romance is a state of mind.

View life without expectations, prejudices, and judgementalness, this would give you a great peace.

Peace to all of humanity in this time of great suffering.

All of life is spiritual!!!!!

Each human being is a vessel, a body temple. Each individual being houses a soul. Spirit is flowing throughout all of life. Yet it is said that we human beings are the only conscious entity, meaning that we have the ability to assimilate and utilize our intelligence, and we even have the ability to decide how to use that intelligence.

Let me tell you a little secret. All of life is spiritual. The only problem is, is that many people choose not to accept this, and that is simply because they cannot see the true beauty in life, the true beauty in living the human existence. The very essence of life is the presence of Spirit. Because we live in the realm of time and space and causation it is very difficult for us to understand Spirit. You see there is only One Truth and that truth is Divine Mother. And all religions are born under that One Truth, thus causing relevant truth or the many paths of religion. Spirit flowing through all of life makes it very simple for us to understand then that we are all interconnected. No matter what our relevant truths may be we are all interconnected. We are all, if you will, a part of the One Truth.

All true preceptors come to the earth to speak, to teach the One Truth. Since time immemorial, Incarnations have returned to the earth speaking just that One Truth. And for aeons the human beings have taken that one truth and segregated it into their own relevance to suit their needs in time and in space.

I remind you again that we are all but one individual drop of the ocean of eternity, yet reminding you that we are all interrelated even in our divisions of relevant truth.

When Christ was young he was not yet aware of what he had returned to this earth to do, yet when he was initiated by his Guru John the Baptist, he became illumined. He realized his purpose, and he knew he needed to teach the truth. Now he also knew that there were only a few that he would be able to impart the truth to, yet there were many thousands of human beings who needed to hear the truth. He knew that they could only take in the truth at their own level of understanding, and therefore he taught it at their level of understanding. All true spiritual preceptors know that not every human being can take the truth exactly as it is, because of karma, because of cause and effect. We all have a particular level of mind and understanding. Therefore, we have once again, the many religions or the many spiritual paths, we say will eventually lead to the One Truth. However, the further we as a people go from the truth the more difficult it is to know what the truth really is. We call it the dharma, the law, THE way to live the human existence. It is actually quite simple but, we as human beings complicate it, because again of our relevance, our desire to live life the way we want to, the way we choose to see it.

Befriending the ego.

The term befriending ego may be confusing. I’ll do my best to clarify this. The Soul is the Absolute Ultimate True Self. She is love without cause or purpose, She requires nothing, She is un-manifest, yet manifests Her presence in all of life. She is even present in ego. The problem is that ego does not accept Her presence in it. In order to remain in the facade of separateness ego must remain firm in pride, the illusion of the all and mighty powerful originator of its exclusive world, I would say, the I’ness, me, mine. The soul She is all-inclusive. She, being The Energy of Origin of all else, you see.

The energy of the idea of friend flows from Her. Its descent into human thought is immediately divided by ego into various categories, ranging say, for the sake of understanding, from less threatening to most threatening.

The ego personality is born from kleshas, afflictions of past and present. The Atman, Soul, is transcendent. Now, these opposing forces, male and female, are the manifestation of kama, desires. All of human existence is spent balancing these energies of what we call oppositional forces which you experience as real, they are simply ego personality manifest. For every human being the diversity, the duality of existence remains until one transcends that perceived duality, and merges with transcendental Self.

Life Has But One Purpose For All.

Life has but one purpose for all sentient beings, and that is to live with a deepening of understanding, that each of us is responsible to all of life, and the one purpose that we all share is the same. And that is to transform ourselves through recognizing, and accepting our good, and not so good tendencies, and making right choices that will ultimately serve in the uplifting of human Consciousness. This would mean that we all have to stop hiding behind the veil of ignorance that we cling so desperately to.

The way to remove ignorance is through knowledge. Knowledge helps in the removing of confusions, and misunderstanding, fears, and doubts. Knowledge of The Truth comes through studying, reflecting, and meditation. Studying the teachings of those who have overcome the confusions, and the ignorance of life, and through personal experience. These people have come back to tell us exactly how we can all go about ourselves in right mind.

To center oneself on the spiritual path, and develop spiritual practices that strengthen the mind, and expand the awareness beyond our limited perception is what we need to do. Because most of us live in that realm of distorted perception. We have of course, the lack of clarity, and this comes from that constant duality, the battle within ourselves. It’s not so much that we struggle with what is right but, our struggle, that battle within, has to do with knowing what is right yet, still wanting to cloud that with our own perceptions. In other words, from the ego base of wanting to do things our own way, when in fact there is only One Truth, yet there are many ways that humanity goes about revealing The Truth, or having The Truth revealed.

The human existence is a constant balancing of the good qualities with the negative aspects of ourselves. When I spoke to you earlier of channels being clogged or open, I had spoken about the right and the left. Symbolically, when the right channel is cleared it is done by self-acceptance. And the left channel symbolically, is cleared by the penetration of our dream state, or dream bardo. To remove these imbalances that I’m speaking to you of we do not simply erase them or forget about them, for all impressions remain until they are balanced. So, for an imbalance to be removed, so to speak, we must first embrace that and then transform it. We must be willing or must take the responsibility to examine who and what we are, our motives, our intent, and our actions, our thoughts that lead to actions and the effects of those actions. It’s not so much what we do in life, but more how we go about ourselves.

Womb-born beings are the manifestation of previous thoughts and actions overtime. There are many, many things that occur in a person’s lifetime that they do not consciously remember, yet every action is a reaction to one’s previous experiences, thoughts, and actions.

A main point that I will say to you now, is that it is very important for all human beings to stop trying to be perfect, you see that’s important. It’s not so much trying to do everything perfectly, but it’s more about self-acceptance. Coming to grips with our own ugliness, so to speak. And keeping at the forefront in our consciousness, all the good that we have done.

My love to you all.

Guruji
