"Stir, Shaken, Awakened or full-embodied Realization?"
By Dipali DesaiJune 2005
Many are mistaking a small touch, a spark opening within their consciousness to being fully self realized or enlightened. What are you seeking? Enlightenment or self realization is not ‘out there’, rather it is within. Full bodied enlightenment or Self Realization requires responsibility, and going beyond into planetary world service. This level of awakening is a profound journey in itself and not to be taken lightly. For the purpose of this article, we shall explore few suggestions for you, the reader to consider.
If you have just stirred, felt shaken, or awakened. You are not alone. It is suggested for you to understand and consider the journey ahead. It is an organic process of evolution; patience is an important Soul attribute. To know thyself there are many stages, layers, levels and sub levels. Many things unwind or unravel so you are able to get to the core. It is not a ‘quick fix’ approach. To get to level of demonstrating self-mastery is in stages as well. To be self-realized, the energetic systems must be cleansed, cleared of any obstructions and healed. This involves and includes all four of the foundational energy bodies; spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. And getting these four bodies to communication and build a better relationship with one another, than at war with each other. The physical body plays a key role, the higher energies need to be able to interface and move through the physical vehicle. When choosing to be enlightened, one chooses to invite the energies to ground and be full embodied with the frequencies. Even after self-realization, one moves onward to God/Source realization, which has its own process.
Once a seeker begins asking questions to uncover a deeper existing reality that has always been there the initial spark begins on the quest for self-knowledge ‘who am I’, to self-realization and beyond. However, it is very easy to be under the illusion that a smidget awakening represents full-embodied enlightenment. There is not even clarity given forth on this subject. In order to be fully enlightened or self realized it takes one to allow a continuous flow of energy from Soul level and higher, to be able to sustain, maintain and integrate the energies as well. It may also take the individual’s commitment and willingness to shed so many false-coated layers upon their Consciousness to reveal the authentic Self. To heal deeply, allowing one to honestly look at oneself without distortion in a ‘mirror’, this includes what exisits in the unified field of consciousness swirling around.
How often than not, does the false identity or ego chooses to stay in denial? Or decide that an inch represents100 kilometers (in other words, false ego goes to an exaggerated perspective)? Saying that the shadow or false layers ‘couldn’t be me’. So we tend to reject seeing the full picture of the self. Denial has the tendency to impede the awakening process right in its tracks. Viewing the full perspective of the self; beautiful, ugly, harsh, loving in a balanced way offers so much more accuracy. It may lead you from dualistic approach (good and bad or right/wrong) to non-dual state (of understanding the totality an choosing higher path). Awakening is inevitable for all upon the planet. Yet how naturally the process flows and or rapid is up to the individual. All have free will to select what is appropriate for them. The mind plays funny tricks sometimes, doesn’t want to see the reality, justifies, ignores, or finds way to disprove something easily.
Let' s take the example of Cotton Candy (candy made from spun sugar, melts instantly in your mouth, and is pure sugar). Granted, cotton candy is certainly sweet and tastey to the mouth, yet it can be similar to instant sugar high which may be temporary lasting. As some 'awakeings' are. Then the individual may come crashing down low after the rush passes.
So ask yourself “Am I looking for Cotton Candy fluff 'n stuff or the real Deal here?” Be extremely honest with yourself. This is an important stage. If you say a half-answered yes or mechanically follow along with what others are doing. You are in for one heck of a ride, confusion and disappointment. And you will bring into your life the experiences and or ‘teachers’ that will match your choices. If you are clear, and feel this all of your heart, mind, being and Soul, then welcome to the world of transformation [mission impossible music]. Then buckle your seat belt! The Universe shall respond to your clear intent, request and bring experiences to match. There is not right or wrong. It is more a matter of what an individual or seeker feels is appropriate for their path.
Please be assured that there is much a lot of potent energy upon the planet at this time to move through things rapidly, at quantum speed. Yet that does not entail missing steps, or jumping over and ignoring what you do not wish to address. Just because an individual labels him/herself self-proclaimed ‘master, guru or avatar’ of anything is this so? Has the individual truly integrated, sustained, and embodied the highest and fullest potentials entity or ego that is in fear tends to boast or fluff up credentials, almost like self-protective mechanism or habit. And upon the physical plane at this time this type of old fear based programming keeps fragmentation and distortion alive.
How open you are to knowing thyself; your true Divine nature- Consciousness, will determine which experiences you invite into your world! What will you choose? Stirred, Shaken or Fully Awakened?
Peaceful Journey"Tending to the Temple of Form"
By Dipali Desai May 2005The physical body is a Temple of Form in which your Consciousness may reside and express itself through while walking upon the physical plane. How well do you tend to this sacred space, both internally and externally? The choice is there in each moment of each day, to value, care for, nourish, clean, honor and love the self as well as the form that is being utilized in this lifetime. On the path of self-realization, the physical body is an important aspect. It can be a wonderful partner on the of integrated soul evolution. Do not disregard or reject it. Yet do not be overly attached to it either, where the physical or the form controls you. On a daily basis, it is important to listen to what the body is sharing with you in terms of awareness. Taking a shower or bath assists to cleanse the energy fields as well keep the body clean and well groomed. The food that is the fuel to the body is also relevant. A delicious and well- balanced meal supports vitality that is essential for energy and maintained.
Many reject what is seen in the mirror. There are also many that are uncomfortable residing within the body. Ask the questions and the doors open. Why is this so, why is there rejection there? Where is trauma stored in the physical body? Are there any fear barriers set up which keeps out the life force from circulating the body? How does your perception affect your relationship with your body? Are there repeated messages of disgust and anger towards the body? How often are you impatient with the body? Do you demonstrate love and healing when the body relays its pains? When these issues are not addressed and healed, it keeps the individual in off balance as well as from staying connected and being in the body. Have you ever felt settled, calm and peaceful in the body? That being in the physical body was a joy and delight.
The Physical body may transform itself into the temple of light. When spirit and matter unite once again through the individual’s conscious intent, a new grace emerges. New motion and rhythms emerge. Spirit, Consciousness or Soul is to express its essence through the physical vehicle. So how one maintains and sustains it is important part of the spiritual evolutionary process. Be ever so patient and taking the time to digest and assimilate new experiences along the way. Relish each moment and do not hurry by the experiences or accomplishments. This is an opportunity to invite in the five outer senses and the inner senses and new perceptions offers awareness beyond the normal range.
To value and feel worthy are qualities that come from within, not from without. The externals are temporal in nature. To truly embody self-love, worth, and value is a task unto itself. Yet these qualities are very necessary in the overall growth process, for this brings the individual closer to the real Self. Prepare the physical body as you would for a beautiful garden. Envision, clear, dig, plant seeds, nurture, nourish, tend to, and maintain. Over the last few months, so many energy activations ignite transmutation and acceleration in the DNA in each being. The physical temple going through aches, pains, dizziness, tiredness and all of the various stages of the stages of transformation. Slowing down to savor the experiences assists being in deep gratitude and appreciation of all that was learned, gained and accomplished. We are the master architects, directing the life force and creating our reality into manifest forms. It is time to integrate all that has been ignited into the energy fields.
Take a moment to scan your physical world around you. Do you enjoy what you see and what you have created? Past thoughts and ideas are made real; it is what is surrounding you in the forms. The organic process teaches the individual many things. From the seed point to the form made real. If not, then what will you do to Transform things in your life?
Peaceful Journey!"Connection and Communication Pathways"
By Dipali DesaiAn important foundational element in life is to be able to connect, hear and trust the inner voice. This inner voice is; Higher-Self, Soul, Wisdom-self, Spirit within, real Self. The communication-connection pathways move in both directions both receiving and sending a clear, strong, signal. Higher-Self/Soul/Wisdom Self side is steady and strong, awaiting for us to acknowledge and open the doorway fully. Trust is a Soul qualitiy, and is a big factor. This is the most important ‘channeling’ or awareness or communication that needs to be in place before any other ‘voice’ or being channels its messages through an individual. The following article is for your consideration and for you to come to your own clarity.
How strong and steady is your communication and connection with your higher-self/soul? How much do you ‘trust’ your higher self/soul/wisdom self? What is your foundation like, relationship, integrity like with this connection? When do you not trust yourself, or keep your word to yourself and how often? This same habit will play itself into this connection and communication.
When messages steer us in the ‘apparent wrong direction or get us into worse situations’ it is easier to blame God/Source/Spiritual Hierarchy/Spiritual Counselor/ Higher Self/Soul, Guides or whomever was the one to share the message or insight. “You didn’t give me the “right” information” or “How could you do this?” type of spewing out due to the high reactions from the experiences. Is it possible, that you may need to sit down and realize that perhaps Within, lies the answer? That perhaps the communication lines need opening or adjusting and clearing. And that is your responsibility to do this, by your personal power instead of projecting blame anywhere. Or could it be a false identity/ego old issue is clouding or adding static (fear) to the clarity of communications or creating unsteadiness within the structural integrity of your relationship with your Higher-Self/Soul/Spirit?
We can choose to hear the ‘inner voice/communication and connect’ in simplicity of the heart and open pathways in our consciousness. Yes, it is a matter of our belief and knowing that it is possible without a complex instruction. Universe is efficient in its movement, and so our own connections may begin with this as well! For the area of complexity here is an example; Some are driven to open up their channeling or psychic senses as a magic remedy. It cretainly may be of assistance once the trust, foundation and open pathways are there. And they will naturally unfold as we are diglient upon our Spiritual evolution. Think of it as a graceful natural by product without force or strain! Do you think or believe having extra sensory perception (psychic) skills will automatically let you “trust” and “Know” this inner Voice of your Higher Self/Soul/Spirit? It may assist a bit here and there. However, the basic foundation and inner work is also necessary and removing any illusions, barriers, reactions, fears that prevents a full, trusting and up-close connection. Yes, one needs to be more aware of when and where the disconnection or lack of connection happens. As this will assist you in findi ng the spots that need your attention. It may sounds simple, yet having awareness of your consciousness in the present moment is powerful to enhance your connection and communication with your higher self/soul/wisdom self. If you are lost in a sea of confusion or stuck in a repeated story in the past or future, what benefits does that bring you?
Do you think or feel you will bring through ‘clear and accurate’ messages for others if you don’t trust your own connection “first”? The primary connection communication with your higher self/soul/wisdom self may be so off base and in outer-reversed-square field? Bit of humor there! It is not saying one has to be perfect, yet some things need to be in place for a solid footing so to speak. Otherwise there is a lot of personality/fear based ‘projections’ are layered upon the messages instead of the core essence ‘truth’.
How clear is the information from the higher frequencies if your own energetic ‘lines’ are cross-wired, mis-matched or entangled? Or the mind or false identity/ego’s voice is louder and much more stronger than the Wise loving voice within? If the mind is remotely hyper active and you do not take the time for silence or stillness of the energy within the mental energy body or mind how much ‘energy static’ interferes? There is much more here to speak about in regards to clarity within the connection from the higher aspect/ consciousness of you to the human level. Yet we need to begin with few basic key questions to ourselves in total honesty.
Sometimes the voice of the False Identity/Ego will say “I know this already” or “I know” and brushes things aside quicker than a the speed of light. Sometimes this is out of ignorance, or hyperness to blast past others, or out of not wanting to be left behind (to do what others are doing makes ego feel good and connected), or even some primary building blocks have been ‘over looked’ somewhere along the line. The foundation within a building is so important for the structural integrity, the fully connected cable lines are important foundation for smooth electrical connections, the skin is important for encasing the insides of a being. So why wouldn’t the primary connection to truly communicate with, connect with or hear with clarity- be with your Higher-self/Soul? What if you opened the real channel to your Higher-Self/Soul first? What benefits would that bring? Lets face it; the ‘inner work’ requires more patience, commitment, integrity, and honesty. It may require you to retrace your steps, address various energy bodies, rework your subconscious programming, address beliefs, emotions, remove fears, healing work, changing your lifestyle, inner child, archetypes, mental attitudes, ideas, thoughts, or sub-personalities and much more. As you can see, it’s not for the faint of heart and it is not an instant remedy or quick fix. You can see where this article is leading you towards taking the time to examine? Deep reflection upon some very important things, are necessary here. There is way too much fragmentation, half-truths, and personality opinionated accusations so much more, masking itself as “truth”. Cut through the illusion, and glamour. Strive to discover and reveal the truth within.
The communication pathway (both ways) as well as the connection to your Higher Self/Soul/Spirit/real Self is so essential more than you may realize. Remember, all things spring from that base, and flourish outward leads you to fullness and being a Soul experiencing a journey. Discernment first begins within yourself and then, you are able to accurately discern things around you. Connection and communication pathways to your Higher-Self/Soul/Spirit is possible! It may require you to take the first step to opening the doorway.
Simple practice:Awareness from moment to moment.As you do this, you may begin to see and recognize when you mistrust, disconnection, ignore, over ride, mask the connection and communication with your higher self/ soul/ wisdom self. When do you go into the past or future, and how often do you get stuck there? And you can bring your consciousness back into the present moment to strengthen and clear the connection-communication. Also work with trust; how much do you trust your higher self/soul/wisdom self, when do you not trust? What step can you take to begin the rebuilding of trust. Look for small indicators, they are there awaiting your recognition!!
Peaceful Journey!
