Very few people have seen through this end- less suffering and loss. Because of deep conditioning most of us do not know our true essence. We believe that our separate individual identities make up who we really are. Our mis-identification creates a deep soul weariness, propelling our tired souls to repeatedly search for truth and meaning in this impermanent life. There is the endless search for the self either in the material world or the spiritual world. The revelation is actually that all searching must end! When you surrender to the inevitable, you will meet the true self that has been present all along. When this transformation occurs, through the recognition that you are, in reality, an eternal being, you will hear the sacred calling of your life. To accept the calling is to listen to the voice of the silence within, surrendering to the divine guidance of truth and wisdom. Accept the calling—let go of all personal holdings, and see through this temporary reality. Dive into the river of grace, trusting in the divine current. In this most sacred river, you are cleansed from all separation, allowing the refreshing waters to renew your being. 11 Living Meditations Are you ready to live in unconditional compassion and acceptance? 12 Acceptance nconditional acceptance is the embracing of pain Uand sorrow with calm equanimity, knowing from the wisdom of your heart that all is subject to change. Unconditional acceptance is living your life in the deepest compassion of your heart accepting all, even the most painful or most pleasurable of circumstances. In this acceptance you neither contract because of the pain nor project the desires of pleasure. Each moment is honored as the truth within. Here you refer back to the unchanging nature of stillness. Unconditional acceptance allows your feelings of sadness, pain, desire, uncertainty, and passion to arise completely. The body feels all, and lets all flow through you without leaving an impression on your being. Unconditional acceptance fully embraces the results of all actions created by the mistaken identification with the temporal self. You accept fully that you are truly a divine being, untouched by the past and forgiven by the divine witnessing of your true nature. This witnessing sets you free. 13 Living Meditations Can the mind be silent? 14 Living with Divine Intelligence n each human being there is an innate, divine intelligence Ithat is rarely touched. This divine intelligence is the supreme intelligence, untainted by thought, memory or time. It stems from the universal source of the infinite. The mind, when silent, is unbound and free to discover this pure consciousness of the heavenly realm. When expressed, this awareness has the ability to soar to the edges of eternity to infinite understanding. Intelligence that is unconditioned, free to act according to the truth of being, is one with divine wisdom—the source of life. The awakening process begins when there is an elegant release of all identification with that which binds you to thought, belief, or memory—seeing that your true nature is in fact freedom. When the mind is liberated from the habits of identification, it touches the eternal path of wisdom. The return to your natural resting place of silence leads you to surrender all things of a personal nature. The mind is a reflective pool that has the ability to discriminate between thoughts that are geared toward validating the personal self and thoughts that reflect the light of the inner truth. The awak- ened being is intelligence in action observing all that enters consciousness, while remaining detached and compassionate. The awakened being turns to the divine source of silence to express the highest aspect of knowledge and divine will. In the silence of the mind and heart, you will realize the 15 Living Meditations spaciousness and emptiness of your true nature. As you deepen your understanding of your sacred nature, all condi- tions that stem from the impermanent nature of life will be released to the eternal and unchanging. The awakened being sees the nature of the will and how it is directed either to self-pleasure or to the highest good. Through awareness of your true self, you can see how the will is used for self-gain; it plants the seeds of suffering on a personal or global level. Awareness is the art of the true self—opening the inner eye of wisdom, seeing all and remaining in emptiness. Awareness lies in the skill of quieting your personal inclina- tion to entertain thoughts, emotions and desires geared for temporary self-gain. Awareness is the supreme understanding of desire and the fruits of desire. The awakened being seeks to stop the roller coaster of pleasure and pain, thereby ending the involvement and belief in a personal story. The awak- ened being always turns towards its source—the heart of wisdom, the everlasting source of your strength. The awakened being quietly listens, trusting in the source of its being and the sacred movement of life. There is a con- tinual awareness of life, seeing that life is not about the ful- fillment of the personal seeker. It is, rather, the recognition that you are a free and whole human being. The awakened mind is completely aware of the personal self and how it reappears for recognition and survival. It never fails to offer its rest within the source of silence. The awakened being ends the habit of identification with 16 the body/mind and returns to the source of consciousness. In the depths of stillness there remains only the recognition of what is true and eternal within the soul. The most pow- erful tool that you have as a spiritual being is the ability to see with an awakened, intelligent mind.
