| "When two or more are gathered in
my name." |
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
| 1. |
We
get there by finding within us, without doubt, the source of our
inspiration
- That source is a clear stream
of consciousness that encompasses all
- Encompassing all means everything:
pleasant or unpleasant
- Finding this source gives us
a perspective on all our experience
|
| 2. |
We get
there by understanding the vast context of time and space that is
sweeping us onwards
- We live in a very large universe
- The universe is a vast field
of time and space
- We very often forget to notice
that we are actually developing in time.
|
| 3. |
We get
there by uniting our deepest inner core with our purpose, and taking
an ultimate stance towards our own development
- The natural habit of our mind
is resistance towards the new
- Resistance towards the new is
a deep part of our conditionings
- Challenging our conditionings
gives us the ability to find life's purpose, and take the steps
to achieve it.
|
| 4. |
We get
there by looking the forces of inertia straight in the eye, without
faltering, and remaining strong in our determination – no matter
what comes up!
- Taking an ultimate stance towards
our own development means we don't waste time with the fears
and desires of the ego!
- If we don't falter in taking
on our addiction to ego, then we start to notice another force
in our being, a positive force that never had any problems.
- This positive force is the Authentic
Self, and is a force towards right action.
|
| 5. |
We get
there by using our victorious position in all our interactions in
the world, even to the point of declaring our many failures to be
stepping stones to radical transformation.
- If we live our whole life with
a determination to be liberated from the negative, then we have
already achieved liberation.
- Achieving liberation means taking
responsibility, and no longer allowing ourselves to be victims
of our own experience.
- If we are not victims of our
experience, then we have cleared our vision so we are able to
face everything about ourselves, and avoid nothing.
- Facing everything in ourselves
brings us to a point of joyous indifference to the content of
our experience, and opens our heart to our place and purpose
in the whole of humanity.
- Then, here we are! Living in
a purpose that cares more for the whole than for our own small
problems. This caring is authentic, passionate and imbued with
a moral obligation towards ever unfolding truth.

And finally, we get there...
By coming together with others in an ecstatic
communion of Sohbet,
as our inner spark sees the impersonal conscious
field
in all beings
and yearns to rise into every new moment
with the ability to
change and
change and
change as the world demands it of us.
