F.: If you do not see the True Love evidenced in the last e-mail yesterday, then you are invited to follow the “path” to You. Then You will know that (A) You have always been That Which You Seek and that (B) You have always been “where” you would go and that (C) Love is the natural condition of the manifestation prior to corruption and that (D) You need but recognize all of that as fact.
Now, what of this notion of “trust” that was raised in that e-mail, especially in light of the fact that you are told by the Advaitin teacher to “question all.” First, any Realized teacher is completely open to being questioned. At some point, though, what was described as a “certainly of this trust” must happen if the seeker is to complete the “journey.”
As shared with that writer, the requirement is an "accidental" crossing of paths with the pure consciousness that triggers an internal resonance. That resonance is the timbre of the inner guru or the inner resource that—even as it might not yet know ItSelf—nevertheless is “felt.”
[That speck of awareness had been advised by a “Buddhist meditation teacher” to ignore “a kind of inner spiraling” that was beginning to manifest. She described what eventually happened in this manner: “Either just before or when I found You, I noticed a pattern of when the spiraling showed up – it seemed to occur when I was in the presence of Truth. This is part of how I recognized the authenticity of your blog – I could hardly read, the spinning was so intense…with this inner recognition of Truth….”]
Yet the readiness must be present in order to sense that resonance or timbre or inner spiraling; however, among persons (when the pointers to Truth are heard) they take those words to be nonsense, so attached are they to their false concepts. But if the resonance is felt, it might be likened to that first “kick” that a pregnant woman feels. It was exactly like that with “floyd” and “maharaj.” The path with Maharaj was crossed. The transcripts were read.
There was a “kick”—that “inner spiraling,” that resonance. I felt some sort of reverberation as his words were absorbed and as that purified energy began entering into Me; yet the teachings were not understood, presented as they were in no particular order that indicated the way “I” came in and therefore the way “I” had to go back out.
Then, with the clarification provided by the vision, the exact order of the steps was revealed. Maharaj said “…I trusted my Guru. What he told me to do, I did.” I trusted Maharaj the first time the words of that speck were received; yet even with that trust, clarity did not come. Further explanation and the vision were required.
The writer and this speck of awareness have shared exchanges for some time. In between, the pointers offered have been steadfastly taken into contemplation. Yet at no time was that trust misperceived here as “a trusting of floyd.”
What was being trusted was that inner guru, that inner resource, which was initially nudged at times in an effort to begin the process of raising it from its repose; which may have felt kicked at times when “tougher Love” was offered via pointers on the site; and which was finally shaken in order to stimulate it into awakening fully once it finally began to be aroused from its too-long sleep.
The result of all of that can be reviewed in some of the words and phrases that were written: "consistent kindness; gentleness; no strangers any longer; a recognition of myself everywhere; complete certainty; fundamental stability, and knowing My presence as Her presence."
That speck can never again be “alone.” The Am-ness can, but THAT cannot. The same can happen with “you.” If what is manifesting via that speck is not manifesting via the speck that You Are…if that inner guru has not been awakened from it slumber…then all of that awaits.
The writer studied the seven steps and contemplated them. They are available to all seekers that would also know the joy of consistent kindness; gentleness; a stranger-less existence; recognition of What You Truly Are;
complete certainly rather than doubt and confusion; fundamental stability during the relative existence; and complete and total presence…to the moment…to the presently manifested Self…to the natural state…to freedom…and to happiness ("whether the life events are so-called 'good' or 'bad' ").
For many seekers, the road has been long…far too long. For many, the pain has been far too severe; for many, nothing was done that deserved anything close to the levels of suffering and misery that have been heaped upon them by blocked specks of consciousness throughout their relative existence.
I say to you and to You that I—and every Realized speck—cares enough about You to point you to a “path” that is far less arduous than the road you have traveled. I say to you and to You that the pain and the suffering and the misery can be transcended.
I say to you and to You that freedom and peace and happiness and joy are not mere possibilities but are manifested—as shown via the sharings of certain specks in the e-mails they sent—if you would but take the seven steps that lead back to the You which your programmers and conditioners have blocked You from knowing.
You came in with no say-so or choice whatsoever. You can now have a say, a choice. You can go out…go back, and abide as that natural state that is characterized by freedom and peace and happiness and joy.
Many seekers have lived a relative existence that exceeds in misery any “hell” that the dogmatic mistakenly think is geographically real. In that regard, I say:
"To the non-Realized (including those who would threaten persons with the concept of hell), to hell with your personas and to hell with this existence. Be done with your attachment to it once and for all, even as it continues.
"Detach from any lingering fondness for this ever-moving consciousness and abide in the stability of the awareness that is not aware of…NOW. Then only can the joy come and be known. Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)
