For those with eagle-hearts confinement to a limited body consciousness is too imprisoning, too suffocating to endure. Fortunately, we may learn to soar in spiritual skies and experience unbounded freedom, even as we yet remain living in the body.
Last night in our Kriya Class we explored that endless freedom. It starts with the mind’s power to create images, or imagination. Imagination is often derided as a false reality. And, it is a fact some can imagine many things, both true and false, and call it all true. But that should not take away from the reality that imagination can create a doorway to higher Reality; imagination is not that higher Reality, but it can trigger a true experience.
We started with what we were aware of in our normal conscious experience, ourselves in our bodies. Then closing our eyes we were aware of our breathing, for breathing is a vital part of our body-mind-Spirit connection. As we breathed, we inwardly saw our spirits expand beyond just the body and felt ourselves to grow out to the auric field, about arm’s length out, all around the body (imagine this for yourself even as you read this). We felt that we were expanded to that degree and we experienced the vitality, the peace and the Light of our Being was now larger.
Then we expanded out to the size of the room we were in, and all the people in that room. Gradually we continued to grow, and identified with the community we were in, and that the spirit of light, love, peace and bliss was permeating all that we encompassed. Then we saw ourselves beholding this world as if looking at it from a distance, and that Satchidananda (pure being, conscious awareness and bliss) was saturating the earth and all its beings.
We continued further to expand out to encompass the solar system, then the galaxy, and island galaxies, even out to this entire universe, and island universes, and the vast Astral Realm beyond material creation, then (if we dared!), to encompass the much more expanded field of the Causal Realm, and finally into the unlimited Spirit of God. And then to remember what it was like to be limited to the little body, how tiny and cramped this was in comparison to the vast expansion of Spirit.
No wonder we balk at the notion that the body and the material world are all that we are. And it also makes it understandable why souls get lost along the way and use drugs and alcohol in a vain attempt to experience that great freedom (and what a poor and dangerous imitation that attempt is!).
Afterward, even while driving the car home I continued in that expanded state of mind, and I told those in the car, “Not bad driving for one who is still out amongst the stars!” I had only a toehold on the body, enough to operate safely here on earth. And now, in the early morning hours, my Spirit continues to soar in the freedom of endless expansion and bliss.
We all can merge thinking into Being with practice and purification; and oh what we may be as we explore our true Being! Can you not sense the call of freedom tugging at you, an open breeze that seeks to fill the sails of your Spirit and take you into unending Bliss? It can start with your imagining this reality unfurling those closed tight sails, but then entering the doorway, finding yourself moving into the Reality of freedom loving Divinity within you, and all about you. Even now, do you not hear the call?
Health update: With practice one can move from oceanic consciousness to the little pond of body consciousness, without losing the freedom of the eternal Self. So, to shift subjects, this body continues to feel perfect recovery. Blood tests show that I am on the cusp of no longer being anemic; I do not notice any current signs of fatigue from the previous very low blood numbers.
I received my first vaccine injection that only contains my own cells, a combination of sterile tumor cells along with concentrated white blood cells. Other than some tiredness in the afternoon since the injection was received, I have had no other reaction. The idea is to target the immune system onto those cancerous cells in the early stages of formation. This is the second phase of the study for this vaccination. In the first phase (a test of a fewer number of participants), the three or four participants who had stage 4 cancer and had these injections have not had a recurrence of tumors. The few numbers of people in this category is not conclusive, but encouraging.
Also I have consulted one of the nation’s best oncological naturopaths and he said that melanoma is the top cancer for being responsive to naturopathic treatment. He took blood samples and I will meet with him again in a couple of weeks. In the meantime he recommends eating large servings of vegetables, half of a plate of food are vegetables, a palm size amount of protein, and a half to a cup of complex carbohydrates (such as quinoa). Use the Vitamix daily to liquefy an apple, a carrot, and a mixture of green vegetables, whatever is in the frig such as kale. Also he has prescribed large doses of curcumin in capsule form, some other supplements, and to drink Sei Mee green tea, whose ground leaves are equal to 20 cups of ordinary green tea in antioxidant power. He will have other recommendations after he gets the results from the blood tests.
In the meantime I feel the vitality of perfect health, and most of all, of course, God and Gurus grace continues to fill me with the unbounded freedom of the Divine Presence.
