Let's make 2019 the Year of Meditation

Meditation develops an extraordinary power: the ability to know, in our own being, that we truly are Divine Beings having a human experience. In Meditation we reconnect with our innermost Being, our own Divinity. It is how we can know ourselves as whole. Struggle, doubt and the sense of not being enough can't reach there. Immersed in the space of Meditation we know that our innate state of being is Freedom. In that state we are free from feeling small, free from old condition

You are Pure Free Forever - nobody needs to approve to make it so

The human condition is to forget that our originality or True Nature is Pure Free and Forever. We are born of that Divine Purity and Freedom, but as soon as our ego/mind/intellect starts to develop, the knowledge of our Divine Nature is lost. We are told from an early age that we are a girl or a boy, that we have a name, a family, a skin color and a nationality that define us. Growing up we accept different roles that society determines for us and so we become daughters, sons

In Meditation we see beyond the human experience...

Great Wisdom is sometimes found in the most unlikely places. A friend was recently driving from Vermont to Illinois when she stumbled upon a Chinese restaurant along the highway. To her surprise and delight she found the unexpectedly profound quote on the photo below in a fortune cookie. When we are tuned in to the invisible Life-force and its Source, we find signs of it everywhere... This beautiful quote addresses the fact that what we see with our eyes is but a shadow of wh

You Are the Sky...

As human beings we think of ourselves as "I"; a body and mind that functions within this world into which we wake up every morning. The Sages and Saints however have been telling us throughout the ages that we are much more than that! Even though we feel certain about the physical reality of our bodies and the world that surrounds us, it is helpful to remember that their perception is deficient due to the limited ability of our senses. We tend to forget that our main sense or

Meditation is the door to unchanging Happiness

Happiness of the waking state is always determined by the fluctuations of mind and circumstances. We are high and happy one day, unhappy and depressed the next - depending on whether or not our hopes, desires, expectations and preferences are met. Even though we aspire to be happy at all times, for human beings the state of continuous or unchanging happiness is elusive. The reason we can't find it is that we are looking for continuity the wrong place. We expect to find stabil

In Meditation we realize that we are free from thoughts, beliefs and conclusions

In our waking state awareness, the thoughts in our head are what we experience as reality. As the thoughts arise when we wake up in the morning, their meaning and their content define how we experience our circumstances as well as ourselves. Whatever mood the thoughts project on a given day - that will be the colour and flavour of the day’s experience. Whatever thoughts the mind produces - they dictate what we do and who we think we are. When we live our lives on automatic pi

Meditation gives us access to the Knowledge of the Self

We grow up with the idea that knowledge is power. We are told from an early age that a good education will give us a chance to better our lives, to reach our goals and to have a happy and fulfilled existence. Our school system fills the heads of children with unceasing information, as if accumulating facts and figures might improve their intelligence and give them an advantage over others. As adults we are constantly bombarded with information from all sides. Our heads are cr

Meditation fills you with the awareness of the eternal Self

The waking state consciousness, the so-called normal human state is filled with thoughts, ideas, concepts, conclusions, expectations and judgments that flow through our mind all day long. We don't invite the thoughts and we have no control over the their flow. This movement in the mind is constantly changing, coming and going. At times we experience this stream of thoughts as our inner voices that tell us we are right or wrong, happy or unhappy, successful or not. If our atte

Freedom from the dictates of the mind - one of Meditation's many gifts....

Everyday human experience is also referred to as waking state consciousness. In this state, the mind and the content of its thoughts are experienced as me; a person who is functioning in the world and whose thoughts are real and true. If these thoughts are repeatedly judgmental, telling me that I am not good enough - that I am too much of this and not enough of that - then what the thoughts say becomes my reality. If, for example, the mind produces thoughts every day that tel

Find the unchanging Self in Meditation

The quote of the Sage says that we find the unchanging Self where the senses and ego are not. Then where is it to be found? In our everyday waking state awareness, there is never a moment where the senses or the sense of I/ego are not alive and active. The senses are collecting experiences and the thinking mechanism is producing thoughts in the mind from the moment we wake up in the morning, until we fall into deep sleep at night. As long this process is active, the sense of

It isn't the Matter that matters...

Antoine de St. Exupéry, the famous author of “The Little Prince” said that: “What is essential is invisible to the eyes, one can only truly see with the heart”. He is hinting at the same Truth that the sages and saints have been sharing for thousands of years, namely that we are mislead by the limited perceptions of our senses. They can only recognize things and forms, objects and persons. Our eyes can only tell us the shape of things, never their Source. They inform us of ho

Life will constantly exceed your expectations...

Imagine a life that exceeds your expectations at all times. You may not believe it possible, but you can live that life! Experiencing life as wonderful, exciting and satisfying depends mostly on whether or not our expectations are being met. If things happen according to our preferences and desires, we feel happy and fulfilled. As soon as life throws us a curveball and we don’t get the results we anticipated, happiness turns into frustration and disappointment. A loved one wh
