  1. We were all born at the exact date, and given the exact name that our soul wished for us in order to help us discover what our Life Purpose is. Here is mine: Your Life Path Number is 7 Your Life Path Number represents the path you should take through life and the talents and skills you have to make your journey a rewarding one. The Life Path of a 7 is to find universal truths and pursue inner-knowledge. You will explore the mysteries of life and uncover the true meaning of existence. Much of your time will be spent alone, which you will welcome, because isolation will provide you with the time and quiet to pursue knowledge. As your wisdom grows, people will seek you out with the hope you will share your knowledge. Your Life Destiny Number is 11 Your Destiny Number sheds light on those things you must accomplish in your life to be fulfilled. You have the Master Number 11 as your Life Destiny Number. Master Numbers indicate nearly complete or complete development of the traits associated with the number they would reduce to. This relation is usually expressed by writing the Master Number and the number it reduces to together. Master Number 11 is often written 11/2. Freedom and responsibility come with having a Master Number. You have the freedom to choose whether to allow your Master Number traits to express themselves or not. If you opt to act responsibly and use your lofty powers, you will find your reward is in the choice itself. If you choose to ignore your talents, you may find yourself taking more than one step back. You may incur a Karmic Debt. 11's Destiny is to discover spiritual truths so they may inspire and bring joy to others by sharing their knowledge. An 11 Destiny is carried by "old souls" with a deep spiritual connection to the workings of the universe. They are meant to work for the good of all of us--to transform the lives of others for the better. Your Soul Number is 3 Your Soul Number describes your deepest desires and dreams and the person you truly want to be. You desire to make people happy, laugh, and be all they can be. You want to create, have fun, and remain ever enthusiastic. You are a lover of life, and will do all you can to ensure those around you are aware of just how grand a gift life is. Your Personality Number is 8 Your Personality Number reveals the "external you"--the personality traits others will know you by. The 8 Personality is ambitious, influential and powerful. They radiate strength to the point of seeming larger than life. 8 Personalities are destined to lead others. They are balanced and slightly conservative. Their confidence assures others will have confidence in them as well. Your Maturity Number is 9 Your Maturity Number reveals the person you will come to be--your true self. Persons with a 9 Maturity Number do not always have an easy path before them. They must learn to balance their love for humanity with their own needs. Throughout your life you will heal and enlighten those around you. In your later years you will have mastered your healing techniques and learned to apply your compassion for others effectively. You will be able to look upon your life and see that you have been a great benefit to most who have had the good fortune to know you. Your Balance Number is 4 As long as your life is on an even or uplifting keel balance numbers are relatively dormant. However, in those times when your life is out of order your Balance Number can become central to resolving the turmoil you are experiencing. Your Balance Number reflects the traits you need to bring to the forefront in order the get through difficult periods with the least amount of damage or time wasted on negative influences. A 4 Balance Number denotes a real need for self control during stressful times. Regardless of how devastating your losses may be, this is not time for you to unleash your anger or vent emotionally. Seek compromise. Do not over-inflate the severity of the situation. Do not allow yourself to get mired in details which may not be all that important. What you need to see clearly is how things are overall. Seek fairness and be fair yourself. The 4 Pinnacles Pinnacles represent moments in your life in which you realize current goals and learn some of life's lessons. If you are at the beginning of a Pinnacle, then they can be used as a predictive tool to assist in managing your future. Your first Pinnacle begins at birth and last until around the age of 27. Your Second Pinnacle last through the next 9 year and the Third Pinnacle last for 9 years after the Second Pinnacle has passed. Your Fourth Pinnacle picks up where the Third Pinnacle ends and last throughout the rest of your life Your First Pinnacle Number is 5 A number 5 Pinnacle is a time of change. This is period in which you will cast off restraints and develop your personal freedom. You will learn to be flexible and adaptable, to hold your ground and not run from the changes which confront you. A number 5 Pinnacle is a time of change. This is period in which you will cast off restraints and develop your personal freedom. You will learn to be flexible and adaptable, to hold your ground and not run from the changes which confront you. Your Second Pinnacle Number is 11 While an 11 Pinnacle will be traversed by most as a 2 Pinnacle, for those exploring metaphysical and spiritual issues this will be time of profound development. Those living life on the level of an 11 will find their intuitive powers are at their apex. This will be a time when you are called to inspire, lead and bring joy to those around you and possibly all of humankind. Your Third Pinnacle Number is 7 A 7 Pinnacle marks a time for study, self-discovery and spiritual development. Your focus on the inner-self will bring out the loner in you. If your 7 is a First Pinnacle you will probably have to deal with a feeling of alienation. A 7 in the Second or Third Pinnacle demarks a time for further spiritual exploration and refinement of your understanding of yourself. As Fourth Pinnacle, the 7 denotes yet more time exploring your inner-self and the sharing of your wisdom with others. Your Fourth Pinnacle Number is 7 A 7 Pinnacle marks a time for study, self-discovery and spiritual development. Your focus on the inner-self will bring out the loner in you. If your 7 is a First Pinnacle you will probably have to deal with a feeling of alienation. A 7 in the Second or Third Pinnacle demarks a time for further spiritual exploration and refinement of your understanding of yourself. As Fourth Pinnacle, the 7 denotes yet more time exploring your inner-self and the sharing of your wisdom with others. The 4 Challenges Challenges denote personal weaknesses and temptations you will have to overcome and strengths you will have to develop to fully realize your goals. The 4 Challenges have the same time frame as the 4 Pinnacles. Your First Challenge Number is 4 Your challenge is to learn the value of practicality, discipline and organization. A 4 challenge is rarely easy. You may find yourself boxed in by boundaries. In this period you will have to learn to be patient, open-minded and flexible. Your Second Challenge Number is 2 Your Challenge is to learn how to manage your natural sensitivity to others, aversion to conflict and need for harmony in a way that will not repress your own needs. In time you will learn to balance your needs with those of others. Your Third Challenge Number is 2 Your Challenge is to learn how to manage your natural sensitivity to others, aversion to conflict and need for harmony in a way that will not repress your own needs. In time you will learn to balance your needs with those of others. Your Fourth Challenge Number is 6 A 6 Challenge marks a period in which you will learn to balance the needs of your family with your own. You will learn that true nurturing can only come from your heart. Your idealistic views of marriage may be shaken some, but if you learn to temper them some you will be happier and more secure on the other side of this Challenge. The 3 Cycles Cycles occur in 28 year periods. The First Cycle last from birth through your 28th year and is called your Formative or Seed Cycle. The Second Cycle--your Productive or Fruit Cycle--begins at age 29 and last through your 56th year. The Third Cycle, your Harvest Cycle, begins with the coming of your 57th year and last throughout the rest of your life. Your Cycle Numbers tell you the lessons you must learn and goals you must meet to stay on your Life's Path and achieve your true destiny. Your First Cycle Number is 5 Change and the development of personal freedom are the earmarks of a 5 Cycle. You will find fulfillment and joy in the adventures this Cycle holds for you. This Cycle will show you life at its most exciting. Your Second Cycle Number is 9 Those in a 9 Cycle will see their compassion and tolerance for others blossom. You will find satisfaction in putting the greater good for all ahead of your own needs. This is a cycle in which you will explore the depths of your love for your fellow man. Your Third Cycle Number is 2 If you are in a 2 Cycle you are going to develop at a slow, even pace. Your talents for peacemaking and gentle persuasion will come into play often. Understanding relationships will be your main goal in this period. Should this be your Third Cycle, patience and diplomacy will be the characteristics of this Cycle. Your Karmic Lesson Number(s) are/is 6 Karmic Lesson numbers reveal areas in which we need to grow. To become more complete, we need to give extra attention to these areas in this lifetime. If one of your 5 core numbers is the same as a Karmic Lesson Number the significance of the Karmic Lesson Number is reduced. A 6 Karmic Lesson Number denotes an inability or reluctance to make commitments. Even when you do commit yourself to something it may be your nature to hold back any true passion for the commitment or relationship. Over time you might do well to slowly allow your passions to express themselves and put your heart into your commitments and relationships. Your Karmic Debt Number(s) are/is 16 Karmic Debt Numbers signify past abuses of your talents that you must make amends for. Like all of us, you have made many choices and taken many actions in your lives. Some of those choices and actions have been mistakes. Your past errors must be addressed, so you can use your Karmic Debt Numbers to identify exactly what type of mistakes you have made in the past and how you can atone for them. top A 16 Karmic Debt Number points to an abuse of love in your past. Your were not honest about your feelings and/or neglected to consider the feelings of others. The consequence of these actions is that you must now reconnect with that part of your spiritual self that will not allow you to misuse love and affection. Doing this is no easy task. To succeed that which earned you the 16 must be destroyed, so a more spiritually ethical self can take its place. Your Lucky Number is 5 Your Personal Lucky Number does not change. This number will be lucky for you your entire life. Your luck derived from this number will be strongest when you are addressing events and issues related to the general meaning of the number. Lucky Numbers should not be relied on to constantly produce positive results, or make impulsive, high risk gambles. They simply mean that where they appear you have an edge. How large an edge is impossible to determine, but seems to increase with the number of occurrences your Lucky Number is be associated with a given event or issue. Those with a Personal Lucky Number 5 are nearly as fortunate as those with a 3 Personal Lucky Number. Your 5 will bring you luck in matters involving risk and new ventures. 5 will shine for you in times of change and even chaos and upheaval. Your 5 will also give you an edge when connected to matters of romance. Your Signature Number is a 9 Signature numbers are based on how you sign your name. Your signature carries the power and the faults of one of the base 9 numbers. You may actually want to sign different documents with different signatures to reap the benefit of a particular number. For instance, if you are signing an agreement of partnership you might want to alter your signature to reflect the powers of the number 2. The signature you entered is a 9. The 9 signature is best suited to mark the completion of contracts or payment plans or the giving of donations. Your Birthday Number is 9 This number is most influential between your 28th and 56th year. While it is not the most important number in your profile, it does have an effect on your Life's Path and Destiny. You are idealistic and compassionate, generous and sensitive. At heart you are a humanitarian of the highest order. Your Personal Year Number is 7 This number tells you what is happening in your life this year. This number should be used to help you avoid setbacks and focus your energies on those areas of your life where you are most likely to achieve your goals. You are in a year ideal for introspection and self-discovery--for examining your life and making changes where needed. You may need some time out from your everyday responsibilities to explore and strengthen your spiritual self. Your Personal Month Number is 8 This number tells you what is happening in your life this month. Use this number in the same way you would your Personal year number, but apply it only to the current month. This is a time for you to take things seriously and ensure all aspects of your life are moving in Make time to be alone and allow yourself to evaluate where your life is going. Your Foundation Letter is J Having a J Foundation Letter denotes someone who will bring justice to a project or venture. You do your best to ensure all are treated fairly. Your End Letter is N Having an N End Letter identifies someone who can bring innovative ideas to a project or venture, but their free-thinking spirit may not allow them to see a pursuit through to the finish. Your First Vowel is A Having an A First Vowel suggest you may be far more determined to succeed than you let on. Post and share yours! See how accurate it is. For me it has been extremely helpful and reassuring Here is the website: http://www.alwayspsychic.com/free-numerology-report/ I'm still looking through it to get insights, but it looks like my Life Purpose is to share the spiritual truths I learn through my awakenings for the growth, benefit and wellbeing of myself, and the world. It feels right in my heart! And a few moments ago I had no idea really what my purpose was. I deduced this by looking at the life path number and the destiny numbers which are the most important in Numerology the former being the more so The life path number urged me to find "universal truths" and "inner knowledge" and share what I learn with people who seek me out. The destiny number confirms this by saying that, "11's Destiny is to discover spiritual truths so they may inspire and bring joy to others by sharing their knowledge". This is almost a replica of my life path numbers insight, making me feel enlightenment will be a big big part in discovering my purpose, and being a teacher. And when I think about it, my life has started to flow in this direction of deep meditation, heart centred awareness and love for everything that arises while also a need to share all of this. I was starting to question if all of this was too "hippie" and fear for being myself by being rejected by society, but now I have a newfound confidence. 7 and 11 are both very spiritual numbers (also 9). 7 means that while having heightened intuition I also have a very intellectual mind. This is very true, I always excelled at school, loved studying. But it means I have lots of thoughts! So one of my goals is to bring my default consciousness back to my heart. It's so exciting to read so far. A spiritual teacher, a holistic health specialist or perhaps a scientist who bridges that gap between spirituality. I'll just keep meditating, loving and ask for those specific answers. At least now we have a strong foundation. I want to see everyone else's too! If there is anyone into Numerology I would love your input here too on my report. Thank you everyone, and I hope this tool benefits.
  2. I wanted to share this on the main forum from my journal. I hope you can find some wisdom in this that can help guide you to a deeper state of love, which I feel is foundational information for anyone into spirituality. Enjoy, use what is useful, discard what is not : The first thing I want you to know is that love, although the simplest practice in existence is also the hardest. It is simple because all you have to do is sit with your emotions. This is where I started, I aimed for about a minute of feeling a few times a day and kept going until feeling become apart of life. I remember when I first used statements in my head such as "You are beautiful" or "I love you dear one" because the man in me felt rather embarrassed. Embarrassment turns out to be, from experience, a way the ego falls apart, so be OK with embarrassment. Another strange phenomena started manifesting and this was, the more I said loving things and focused on that, the more dark thoughts and suppressed feelings from years of hiding them in addictive behaviors suddenly arose. I expected to feel more love, not anger But that is the power of complimenting yourself etc. Compliments/loving words magnetically pull these emotions to the surface, as Gabe Salomon told me, and this blew my mind. This means we start with feeling first, then to speed up the healing of the karma/cellular debris in our cells (gathered from our parents, social conditioning, and and past lifetimes) which are released in the form of emotions, we only focus on speaking love through our words (in and outside our head) and through our actions. Let's have a quick practical example! So my Mum and I were on the beach with my dog, and this man comes up to us and starts speaking loudly about how we must be blind to have not seen a no dog sign, and commanded us to leave the beach. It was the yelling which hurt my heart, which I interpreted as a lack of empathy for a fellow human being. I just said to him, against all of my ego, and where my own angry emotions were leading me, in the most feminine voice a man could speak without getting looked strange at, "Thank you so much for telling us about that. Without you we wouldn't have known this important information that our dog is not allowed here. I'm sorry that we have bothered you in this way, have an amazing day man". Immediately we all felt better because the loving environment was created for the anger to leave our cells at record speeds, and for calmness to replace it like no other. The guy was shocked and began almost running away, because egos don't know how to respond to love This leads me to another amazing cornerstone of loving whatever arises: the stronger the emotion you love, the more healing takes place. And usually the emotions is so strong that your thoughts will distract you from knowing it is there, so a pro tip is whenever you have lots of thoughts feel into your heart and intestinal region and if it's strong, love the crap out of it. In addition, setting the intention to love something so much that it explodes into a million universes of abundance (or whatever word you like) sets you up for success. And a key is before starting any activity for our love beginners, set an intention for it to go well, especially in meditation does it help to call all of your spirit guides, God, your guardian angels; and your past, present and future loved ones to assist you in being absolutely present minded, for sleep too I have woken up after 5 and a half hours sleep feeling great after intending for it to be deeply healing for my muscles and mind, so play around with that too. So where to start from here? If you're interested in enlightenment, or are wanting the most trans formative and foundational practice I have personally found, begin to stay with an emotion for 10 seconds once, twice and as many times as you can throughout the day, and slowly working our way up to a minute or so, and starting to say beautiful things (the more embarrassing the better) to yourself and other. People can only meet you as deeply as you meet yourself, so if you don't understand yourself, others won't be able to understand you for in both cases you are the receiver. The truth is we have placed much of our attention on finally getting that external validation from another human beings which means that you are not ready for it, because you can't even receive it. And God purposefully doesn't give you external love because he doesn't want you living in an illusion of complacency, he wants you to turn inwards, wake the fuck up, and finally realize that only you can give yourself the things you want from other people. You are life's eternal liberator, you are God, so start living like one and send blessings left right and center like a benevolent God would! I say this because we always do this on a subconscious level from the years of conditioning which shaped our world view, and now every experience is filtered through that world view to give it meaning (and the default one is biased towards giving anything a negative meaning). So what we are doing by saying "I love you" to anything, especially if you don't like it, is physically rewiring your brain, because you are now creating a new default world view filled with love consciously that will eventually become subconscious. Scientifically, changing our world view triggers the pain receptors in our brains, that's how you know you are rewiring your subconscious mind. In addition, pain is how emotions are released out of our cells that we have left in the darkest corners of our bodies because we were so afraid to face that discomfort, but I want to tell you, that the discomfort is really your liberator. The pain of feeling an emotion leaving also removes all thoughts or traumatic experiences linked to that specific emotion and transforms it into neutrality/light/love where it no longer triggers you emotionally. SO thoughts trigger us emotionally, that's interesting? If thoughts are just like physical reality, wouldn't that mean that physical reality could also be triggering karmic emotions in my cellular memory linked to an conditioned experience I had where I ran away from that innocent emotion? And what if the experiences in physical reality that trigger these emotions are not driven by mechanical subatomic particles, but by a divine force that science has yet to realize, which is only serving in our highest favor for us as human beings to raise our default vibration to where heaven exists all of the time, instead of in a few seconds doses of dopamine I get from checking my social media etc? Doesn't that sound something worth pursuing if it would take only a few weeks of constant "I love you's" in your head to free yourself of your ego, and so with it, any need for anything to externally fulfill you, which makes you into your most authentic self, where you can feel understood by even a burst of air, and live without any conditioned childhood blockages that may have stopped you from living your highest excitement/passion? Or shall I sell myself to my own thoughts and feelings, and get lost in them, instead of loving them for helping me grow, and die without ever experiencing the deepest intimacy and joy everyone wants? When will you stop searching for happiness, and just be your own infinite source of happiness? What is your answer to these? Do you feel excited in your heart region? If so, that's confirmation that this is true, and is what your body wants you to give it as an ongoing present, in return for it giving you existence. Every emotion is but an innocent 5 year old child in pain, and it wants you to sit with it, hold it, and not run out of the house or put it in a cold, hard cell again. Just like a 5 year old child, the emotion will never give up on your love, and will only come back stronger until you sit with it. I mean the same emotion from when you are 10 years old could be the same emotion when you are 60 years old that you've not looked at because of the pain, but as we've discussed the pain is the deepest sign of healing. With time, once you clear all karmic emotions as every single human being will do in this planet either in this lifetime but most likely another, will enlightenment arrive, and the kundalini energy flow because all emotional blockages are gone. This is the deeper reason we are here on this planet, the circumstances don't matter, but the meaning we give them does. This means you don't have to do anything about your circumstances, because love will attract the circumstances you want in your life through "opportunities" and your job is to see these opportunities and follow them. This is quite advanced, but you know that an opportunity of this nature has been divinely brought to you when you feel excitement in your heart when you think of following it, so do just that; there's no need to be afraid of what happens if you do it because you choose how that experience is for you. Embarrassing yourself publicly can finally be seen as a gift! One final word on Karma. The circumstances that come your way in each moment, are karmic to begin with, so be prepared. One such circumstance happened almost a year ago. I was with a beautiful, and kind-hearted person in June last year and had never felt so deep with another anyone in my life. The universe had other plans, and we left each other not long after. The sheer amount of emotions having party in my body was so painful that I shut down, and started to lose all focus at school, grades plummeting, and the world falling apart. It took me months until I decided to look at these emotions of rejection,and sadness because the pain of not feeling them was becoming greater; the child-like emotions were starting to use extreme methods to get my attention lets just say! And so the deepest healing of my life occurred, and I'm grateful it happened, and scared at the same time that if that was only a tiny amount of karma, imagine the full dose! Everything happens for a reason, and that reason is love. Be love, cherish your experiences, follow what excites you, and be OK with pain. Thank you all for your time, and for sharing this space with me. You are more worthy and deserving than you know. This process can be long or short depending on your ability to love. This is all of human suffering explained, and the beginning of a new life for some. Take this perspective with you and it will serve you well <3

  5. @pluto Thank you for the download. I can feel this increase in vibration, and it is amazing to experience. May we all be the light that fills the world with peace and love. To be examples of true happiness that is right here and right now, as all that is. There is not one place you can look that is not divine love, for it could not exist if it were not perfection. Just like clothes made out of cotton (and is cotton), all form is made out of love (and is love). It is the only possibility. Everything is perfect.
  6. @Shaun See how you go with this, this is much better than I can explain it. This is her you go deeper.
  7. Such a deep quote to look back at our life with. It's so true for me.
  8. @Michael569 I would ask your friends some questions. Do you remember those moments in your life where you felt deeply connected to a friend (person or animal), when both of your hearts opened? Or the moment when a creative idea flowed through you and you jumped out your seat with joy? Do you remember the happiness you feel after a good sleep? Have you seen the eyes of a newborn child? I invite you to look back in your life and find the times when you were living as your radiant soul. A peaceful love is felt and it flows into the situation you were in, a presence is felt around you too. You feel whole. This is why we meditate. To feel the soft warmth of our heart in all of those experiences, but instead of just once every few years, we want to feel love (which we have proven does exist from our past) as ourself in each moment. There can be another reason too for some people. You realize that without Love you are helpless. You realize that in the moments you stood up for yourself, God was flowing through you, that the compliment you gave to a friend was God being you, and all good things you experienced was when Love was there. You realize by reflecting on your past, that you can’t connect to people when your heart is closed, because you believed yourself to be seperate, other than existence, and since all is God, how can you connect deeply with anything? You find yourself yearning for love when you realize that everything you cherished about life, everything, was when Gods grace shined through you. You see how all suffering arose when you chose to trust a mere thought over the Father and Creator you are. God is always with you, that is the key to realize. And you are always God. You cannot be otherwise, how can it be so? You are always love. But when you think you are a mere thought, it seems like God is not with you. This is the illusion. There is nothing besides God you can point to in all of existence. Try it. How can it be seperate from the source of all life? There is only one source, and so all is an expression of this even if it appears to be other than. We meditate as well when we realize that we can’t convince the mind that we are love. Meditation is the art of transcending who we think we are such as that we were born as this physical body, by being aware of the qualities of Love (in your Heart) and consciousness (around your body), and knowing this is you. This knowingness or faith or yearning comes after realizing that the mind has never lead you to any experience of happiness (and never will) because even in those moments of happiness, your mind was transcended, and you embodied your soul. All happiness comes from the soul, the mind can only create more stress because it’s running on the deep deep program of separation. All you create goes through that filter of separation until you live as your soul which you are as you read this, but the filter makes it seem not so. As the soul you are creatively empowered, and feel absolutely whole and complete. All of your desires change, because all of your desires are fulfilled. All you ever wanted was love, all you ever wanted was yourself the whole time.
  9. This is a brilliant speech. Especially for the younger people here, the quote below is really worth thinking about. This is because we tend to be most vulnerable to the opinions of others, and thus, tune out our own heart-driven guidance for this life. My intention is to show you how a person has successfully lived a life trusting their heart (to a certain degree), to give you the possibility of doing it yourself even though most of the world lives at the mercy and discretion of their own thoughts of judgements as a reflection of the judgement they received as children. Look at the example of Calligraphy here, it's really interesting to contemplate and see that what Steve did out of curiosity and interest was so useful almost a decade later. Imagine what you could create if you lived from your heart. Steve Jobs tapped into his heart, imagine then what you could do "Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
  10. I would also say, focus on what you want the most in your life. All else will align with that. If you resist what you don’t want, it will be furthered empowered, so just redirect the energy entirely to what you want which is a feeling of Unconditonal Love in every moment. The mind is constantly seeking for this outside. So rest it in your heart. This is a universal principle, what you focus on, you empower in your life. Use this to achieve anything you want.
  11. “Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.” Ralph Waldo Emerson There is also so many great quotes here: http://wisdomquotes.com/spiritual-quotes/
  12. @Shaun You are love. All is love. Trust this. Live this. Be this. You say you can’t find love, but if everything is love, where is there to go? What is there to seek? You already are perfect, so how can you be otherwise? That wouldn’t be possible because that would imply there is separation, there is you, and then God. How do you find God when you are surrounded by God, birthed by God, and are God looking around at God believing it to be other than God even though his cannot be? This universal Truth means that you can totally relax. You already are the bliss that you seek. The world arises as bliss, within bliss, as a manifestation of bliss, remaining as bliss. What a wonderful realization to have. Yes, it is that direct, stop believing the illusion that you are this person living in a world when you can believe the Truth that Love is the only thing that exists, and has ever existed. The mind will doubt the Truth at first, “how can this be?”, yet know that regardless of whether your mind believes it or not, this is the Truth of your existence. You are this, no matter what happens. Make sure you embrace this oneness as you live your daily life, and that especially, your spiritual practice carries this Truth. During my meditations I have experinced in myself that without this trust that I am love (or any other word that represents God to you) in this moment, even if I say “I am Love” I am still saying, “I’m not worthy of love” on a deeper level. Thus we start at the deepest level of our reality (the foundations of which the ego is built upon) which is what we hold as our deepest truth, and if you hold the Truth that you have already arrived, that everywhere you look is love, then you will feel it, and you will awaken. The deepest Truth we hold in our beings will become our reality, and it is that Truth which determines if we are living from love and wholeness or the ego. Every moment then becomes an opportunity for you to practice feeling that everything is perfect. You have always been doing this subconsciously but instead your deepest Truth has been something along the lines of, “I Am other than love, I am alone in this universe”. This is an illusion. The universe is one with you always. Indeed this is how powerful our minds are, to place fog and mirrors over our true infinite nature. You will have to face all of the illusions you’ve had about yourself and the world along the way. All of the emotions and patterns of thoughts. And it will be hard at times, but with perservarance you will succeed. Namaste!
  13. @Aakash Without boasting, we wouldn’t know what humbleness is. So there is a lot to thank boasting for, it is a gift, like all of life. Out of all odds, you are alive right now as a human, with an ego. Only humans judge their egos, but does a bird judge? Or a tree? Or whomever created you and the universe? You are unconditionally loved just the way you are, if you weren’t, you wouldn’t exist. So learn to see all things as they are, blessings in disguise. The ego is a gift because it teaches us how to accept and eventually love those parts of ourselves (and thus, those parts of the world) that we didn’t before. We learn to hold space for our ego to express itself, knowing that all the ego wants is to be accepted, understood and embraced just as it is. The ego just wants to be loved. Love always is. Love is always flowing through you, out into this world. The mind has captivated us, that’s why we don’t feel it, and the more we judge our thoughts or emotions, the more we stay in the mind. If we can’t feel the love in our hearts or the space of consciousness we are, then watch your breathe as it moves your chest in and out, that expands your lungs, and know that the perfect peace the breathe has represented, is who you are. The mind needs to be transcended to truly be unattached to those patterns of thoughts such as boasting in you (which is an expression of love in disguise) , to truly love and accept those patterns, and this is the way to do it, to feel your breathe until you become the peace that you’ve always been, and all has always been.
  14. She is astounding! This would not just bring more equality on all levels, this would be the beginning of a spiritually unified world rooted in love and oneness. Especially her comments at the end of how we are one surprised me for someone who could be introduced to a global audience. Also, 49% of America not voting? This need to change. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Embodying this is where people miss the mark, attached to thoughts. But it’s as simple as KNOWING with all of your heart, beyond all doubts, that you (as everything) is perfect, and all (as you) is perfect. This is directly transcending the ego, which is based upon a deep groundless knowing that we and the world are separate and inherently flawed as I had the privellage of being taught I myself have contemplated and reflected upon my life and I’ve seen that all the good things I’ve done has been when I felt Gods love most strongly. That I am useless without God’s Love because all of the most creative ideas I’ve had, and deep connections to other human beings, and life has occurred when my ego is surrendered to God. The unlimited creative energy of our souls can be expressed, including the souls non-egoic desires that stem from wholeness, completeness and perfection; instead of egoic desires which stem from the deep inner knowing of being seperate and flawed as I mentioned. Divine love, god, perfection is all there is and ever will be. As Ramana Maharshi said, just as all clothes are made of cotton, every form is perfection. This is soul talk, the mind will never be convinced of this, so transcend it, and it will be seen to have been another mask for God. All is God.
  16. Life is perfect. You are perfect. Trust in something greater than yourself in your meditation. Faith in God is the most important step in meditation. Otherwise you will keep perpetuating your deepest knowing that you are unworthy of Gods love, that you are worthless, this is the deepest knowing of many people, and it will keep perpetuating until one trusts something greater, something that is already perfect, whole and complete, you. As all clothes are cotton, all dualities are pure love. Your soul that lives in the Heart experiences this. You can’t convince your mind life is perfect. You must live it in every moment as your deepest truth. There a well over a hundred thousand gurus yet only a handful are awakened because they stay lost in concepts. I want to share this, i want to shine this, I want to embody this.
  17. @Yuliya_Lei I agree with Ajasatya. Progress makes you a more loving and kind human being, not controlling. Your partners ego is perfect, and it doesn't need to change. The ego is not something to remove, it is an expression of perfection. Everything is an expression of perfection. Not to our mind, but our heart knows this. There is nothing that needs to be resisted in ourselves, and there never will be unless we create that game of being incomplete. We already are perfect. I hope this can help with your relationship. I recommend you both check out Ramana Maharshi, Ekhart Tolle, and Lincoln Gergar. Papaji, Nisargatta Maharaj, Miester Eckhart, and Lao Tse. It is very, very rare to find a true master like these; it is mostly only once in a generation, so take that to heart.
  18. In my experience, Exercise. Walking for an hour. Iyengar yoga. Anything you like the idea of. Look into doing it in a balanced way such as not overexercising, or doing something too intense for your body. Best of luck with this.
  19. If you can, meditate upon God in all moments. Formal sits really help with this, especially in the mornings when it's easiest to remain in silence. But the meditation must come from the right place, knowing with all of your being that you are perfect, whole and complete. You Are Love. You Are Light. All is God. In fact, this is the most important part of meditation. If you don't start knowing you are perfect, then you are not meditating, even if you stay in awareness from the rest of your life, you are just anchoring a feeling of being flawed. Most aren't ready for meditation because they still believe they are flawed, so start with affirmations, they transform the minds understanding so true meditation can take place. I am perfect, I am complete, I am the light of God, I am the entirety of existence, All is one, All is God, All is Love, I am perfect, Everything is me, Everything is inside of me. Really feel that you are perfect, and you will feel all of these resistant energies in you to this statement; keep trusting in yourself as perfection. That is what you are. Somehow and someway you will realise this, we all will. Remember 5 minutes of proper meditation is entire universes better than weeks of sitting in a jungle, remaining as awareness, but without knowing you are perfect. You must remain as awareness AND believe with all your heart that you are perfect already. You are not becoming perfect through meditation, meditation is the realisation that you already are perfect! So get to that wholesome feeling, and know that you Are the Light right now, You Are complete. Best of wishes on your journey.
  20. @Shaun We are only looking at emptiness here, but a true teacher will embody both divine love and emptiness. For example. many people see Zen Buddhism as a practice of remaining as the silent empty open awareness, but in the earliest teachings of zen, the masters talked about divine love and awareness. To fully embody this, we must live it as much as possible! Bringing the meditation into our work, and relationships. Being aware of your divine love, and emptiness (all that is) instead of just the thoughts. But that is for you to discover, so I will just share a video that truly speaks more than I can write. Love sometimes feels like a far off dream, we are love, but we are identified with the mind that thinks we lack love, thats why we don't experience it right now. I certainly can relate to conceptual understanding. I spent years reading. It's really important to have a solid foundation I think which I can sum up in 3 main points. Feel the emptiness, feel the Heart, and know all is perfect. All three points are tremendously important. Without knowing you are perfect, as my teacher said, you can meditate until the end of time and still feel flawed. Naturally, you become the emptiness and love by surrendering yourself to the knowing that you are perfect, and all is perfect. As you can probably see, so many people like myself miss this point. And the greatest masters always said this repeatedly, that we are love and awareness right now. The act of seeking implies that we are not perfect, that we are starting as somehow flawed and then becoming perfect. Yet everything is already perfect as love. You could say that there is nothing other than love that exists right now (because everything form is created from it including our own thinking mind), and this love is contained within the emptiness. Since emptiness and love are outside of space and time, I can say that the space of your awareness contains everything that is, ever was, and will be created as you read this, and that you are all the forms that you perceive because all is created from love which is you, and so is still love. Most importantly aside from understanding that you are perfect, and all is perfect is living this knowing, and then you can fully understand your own true nature that I'm pointing to if you so wish to experience it
  21. @Shaun You understand very well, that is our true nature We put on the clothes of a body, and a mind later on; and we misidentify ourselves as being them. We are actually nobody. The person who is reading this now is this endless space of nothingness. That is what we all are, in every moment, yet since we identify ourselves as the passing thoughts, we therefore believe we are the sum total of our past experiences when we are so much more.
  22. It all happens within your mind, waking or dreaming. Without your mind, in deep sleep you still exist, who are you then?
