Supreme consciousness, descending from its state of complete freedom and power, becomes the mind-stuff of a human being when it begins contracting into the form of objects of perception. (~Kashmir Shaivism) In other words, the moment we begin to focus on objects--including thoughts, perceptions and ideas--we lose touch with the underlying vastness within us. And because thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions fill our awareness almost every moment of our existence, it is no wonder we rarely see the ocean of Consciousness inside us. ~The Heart of Meditation
Today I am grateful...
Today I am grateful...
- for those brief moments when my Higher Power is almost tangible
- for spiritual atheists
- that when I can relax the world is not so taut
- that my thinking is redirected daily
- for a program of a spiritual nature that has helped me unlock more and more of the truth
Like oil in sesame seeds, like ghee in butter, the Self lies within the mind.
The self is that which makes the mind think,
but cannot be thought by the mind.
That which shines through all the senses,
yet is without senses.
