Banish Darkness
All is connected to mind. There is nothing outside of yourself. Let go of the idea of form and surrender so the holy spirit can perform miracles within our thought system. God has placed sacred thoughts in our mind. We just have to connect to them. However they can not be accessed if we are in a state of fear.
Beware of false Gods such as the television. It is programmed to program us with fear and weakness. The programming seeks to make us dependent on the system of man made rules and attack. The ruling elite wants to addict us to something because then we are under control and our behavior is predictable. Do not mistake this, it seeks to keep us from God and our sacred self by continually instilling fear of attack and war and persecution into our thought system. So choose carefully and with this awareness.
This is the escape from darkness!
The Illusion of hiding our thoughts creates hell. When we are ashamed of ourselves our mind begins to cover up our embarrassment. It seeks to hide and escape and eventually we loose contact with our true sacred self. This may be the beginning of feeling depressed. Hell is s mental state. Escape may be sought in a bottle or a television set but it is a self perpetuating cycle. To break it one has to want to bad enough and be inspired to go deep within after preparing with a mentor or a teacher or someone who has transcended the mundane.
The idea that you are the originator of thoughts creates a state where you think you can control thoughts and that you can hide thoughts. ILLusion is thinking you must fix them. Fear and guilt beset us then! We blame ourself and then project this blame on to others so that it is not so heavy to carry alone. When we get stuck on this roller coaster from hell we may seek to self medicate as a form of escape.
When you attempt to make things right you fall into that trap of illusion.
So let go of this misinformation now. You are not the source of mind GOD is.
So how could you be the fixer? Then how could you be blamed.
Blaming yourself and others is a fantasy. The truth is within. I seek truth and many times I find myself living the Illusion but eventually I surrender to God. Nature is our Earth Mother. She helps me when I get stuck. Even in winter when it gets dark and cold and the holidays make me frantic trying to get everything done, I notice the beauty of a snowflake and I am reminded of our crystalline form. A return to my inner self is gifted back to me from mother nature. Then I recall what has been instilled in me when I have been too busy to recall it myself. Love is all that truly matters.
Simply surrender and feed and nurture peace and love. Go towards the arts that help you ascend your consciousness awakening your true inner healing and joy that is your birthright. Practice until it becomes habitual. These are words but words can set you free if you use them with the awareness of your inner radiance and seek a teacher or mentor that aligns with your resonance. Seek and it is given onto you. When the student is ready a teacher appears.
The Holy Spirit is the only way to transcend ego mind. Logic without inner awareness creates suffering as it instills separation and comparison. Winning becomes important and gathering more form to boost the hungry ego mind takes precedent and eats away at your inner voice, your soul. Surrender your ego mind to the Holy Spirit. This is not just for one group of people, the Holy Spirit can be thought of in any way that you are comfortable thinking of it. It is your way to wholeness and that is why it is called holy and it is called spirit because it can not be perceived as a concrete form. And a blanket of peace will wrap around you and your mind is Divinely protected. Banish darkness away.
In 2004 I was inspired to certify as a meditation instructor with a teacher who espoused all the things that make our hearts happy. Qualities such as caring consideration, intelligent honesty, loving compassion, inner knowing and wisdom combined in this human being that manifested before my eyes. I wanted to study whatever he was willing to teach me and so it is that I became a meditation instructor.
Physically my teacher did not have the typical ascetic appearance of a guru. The man who inspired me to become a meditation and yoga instructor is a huge teddybear of a man. He explained that he had cleansed and purged so many times for so many years while living with his wife at an Integral Yoga Ashram. As the right hand man to the ashrams founder the infamous Swami Satchidananda he fasted to gain insight as he studied the yoga sutras of Patanjali and the holy scriptures called the Bhagavad Gita. Reverend Jaganath, my mentor explained that his metabolism is one that is prone to this. He used an analogy to explain body types. He said some people are string-beans and others are pumpkins.
I thought about this and recalled that when I was quite young and too thin for others comfort. My mother was afraid I had a tapeworm and I began to think it was totally disgusting that worms could be living within me. It turns out I just had a fast burn metabolism and muscles that like to work and therefore burned calories with ease. As I got older I ate with an awareness towards health and energy because my system is sensitive and I feel awful when I eat out of balance. So I was always thin and never thought much about it. Apparently others did and I was even accused of being anorexic by people who struggled to be thin because it was fashionable. I knew that wasn't true. In fact I ate at least six times a day. I even began taking in banana chocolate milkshakes to try to gain weight. Much later I discovered that I don't metabolize all foods and the lining in my intestine is sensitive to certain carbohydrates which perforate it and cause extreme sensitivities to occur. So my teacher is just an opposite body type than I who was born a string bean.
At the Integral Yoga Center I found peace and tranquility and loving people who cared about health and teaching me how to go deeper within myself and this led me to Source.
I had never even thought of becoming a teacher of yoga as I had judged myself to be inflexible. My family members have a genetic predisposition towards strength without bulk and I easily performed competitively in Korean Martial Arts. But I had always struggled with flexibility. When I was nineteen I indulged a passion for dance so I studied ballet tap and jazz. I became good enough to perform non-professionally and enjoyed that immensely. I loved it but my flexibility was less than a dancer needs for certain moves.
Reverend Jaganath encouraged me when he said the best yoga teachers are the ones who have to work at flexibility because they don't take it for granted. True flexibility comes from a flexible mind not a flexible body. Wow I soared when I heard that.
So now I feed my mind with uplifting material on a daily basis. I implement yoga practices that put me in touch with the Holy Spirit and I surrender. This is how I banish darkness and I seek to share the light.
