Let reason go. Turn to cosmic mind, the ineffable state, what we have called She, our feminine side. Here, reason must be lain aside. Quiet your mind. Calm body. Return to the primordial state…to that before pretense began. By abandoning this part of the mind, the rational and reasoning mind, a much larger one can be felt and utilized. A great teacher emerges who is the best of your teachers. The teacher resides in the center of your chest. It can bloom like flowers in Spring and are just as beautiful.
I experienced awakening as the rise of two energies that later joined in pure union to give birth to a transcendent state of being, a sacred third. I saw how this was a trinity. It took years to tease its secrets out. That alone led me to a great discovery and uncovered my roots in the past within esoteric Christianity in the early fourth century A.D. I lived then and was responsible for hiding documents that would have otherwise been destroyed by the creators of “orthodoxy” which was known as a great lie, but it had the big guns, the power, the money, the control. We were heretics and we were run out from every corner and center. It is how things are here; people prefer the lie than the truth.
For me, I experienced the mystic Trinity as originally intended. It’s heresy now. My how things have changed. For me, the Teacher is the Christ within. It creates awareness so that I can find problem areas where the presence will bring them up and heal them…an unwinding process of sorts. I enter by way of ecstacy. What remains I offer up to the Source of all life.
Somehow, for whatever reason, I have come to a place where devotional practice feels magnificent to my heart. It short circuits a desire to control things and as a result, leaves only what I can change or effect now. I continue offering up what remains in me to be finally taken into the light. There is a trigger for this one; I am confident that in time it will be found, felt, known. In finding that In attracting highly devoted people to me who are themselves very devoted, heart centered, and hard at work on coming closer to the divine within.
No one can truly know your journey. As a result, its important that if you walk this kind of path that you have people who love and respect what you must do on your journey. Life is too short to swim in waters that lack this love, forebearance, and understanding. I came to see how others painted their own troubles into my life. I once met someone who was convinced they knew me in the South in the 1800’s. The inner teacher had shown me, years before, how I had a life at that time that was completely different from their supposed memory. The quiet moral is we often make our inner struggles the subject of projections because the truth is not yet available to them at the time. Always trust your instincts but be careful when strong emotion plays around difficulties emotionally because here is where projections happen. Listen to the Teacher within.
You know, I have found when I need an answer I can ask my heart. I can feel it give a thumbs up or down depending on the answer. It’s like….a dowsing rod. You get used to feeling the answers come this way and you get used to what a “yes” feels like was opposed to a “no” answer. You can feel it in your field. You must get quiet in order to hear it at first. If you learn how to tune this in you have access to something that is impossible for anyone to lie and it not be not known. There is a part of you at least that knows the truth. I say water that seed and let it grow and flourish inside of you. You will be at odds with the world but you will have a much better world living inside of you.
Who could believe this except yourself? Why expect anyone to understand? It is a juicy secret between you and the universe. Beyond scripture lies the truth…which is beaten up with pages missing….too many edits and messing with the text. The Teacher is from the immovable race. It lies in truth within your heart.
Waking The Infinite 
Really beautiful. “The Christ within” I also believe in, in the Gnostic sense as Meister Eckhart taught and as Jung understood and as you understand…the same “Christ” which we all share and most Christians cannot “rise” to that understanding. I sometimes get messages from my heart – most profound were the words “I am at peace with all the world” (when really this little “I” wasn’t, so I took it as a suggested mantra). I like to focus on my heart at night and feel what “he” is feeling when I think certain things. When he hurts, I apologize for wherever my mind was. I often stray, even for long periods get caught up in pettiness and a clouded mind, but I come back to center and consider that He remains, that ultimately “I” remain, and there is constant peace behind all else. ❤
Sing it! Thanks for such a thoughtful piece of your experience. For what ever it is worth, I often find that my heart will speak similar things as you describe. I tend to think that when I’m not “feeling it” its usually an aspect of me…higher self or that part in us that makes reaching the Christ within possible. In moments like that, I observe this as a more advanced aspect of me trying to get me to hurry along and catch up…
How beautiful…
I cannot tell you how many times this week I’ve read this same message. Some from people who no longer hear their guides, being moved to connect directly, without the intermediary. I love how you saw the trinity, and about your other lifetime. Since I’m not a great meditator, especially lately (it’s fairly impossible when my brain is quite scrambled and can’t focus for beans), I’ve been working with a spiritual hypnotherapist. She helps me quiet my body and mind, and invites my own higher wisdom to the table, to help me heal what I’m working on. Wonderful process. How exciting about your new direction and new work. Your art glass is beautiful.
