Q) What you say about Being aware of where you are and of what you are feeling, sounds like Mindful Meditation; why do you not call it this?

A) Because I do not meditate and I do not want to encourage people to become regimented, sitting for a few hours a day meditating only to be unconscious the rest of the day. Instead of practicing Mindful Meditation, why can you not simply be mindful, and leave out the meditation? Otherwise it becomes about the meditation and not about the mindfulness, which is why you asked the question.

It doesnt really matter what you do, as long as you are conscious while you do it. That is, assuming you are trying to be more conscious.

I see what a wonder you are.
You are infinite potential playing at being a person.
You are the mystery of life made manifest.
I celebrate you.
You are different from me and yet we are one.
And it is only because we are both separate and the same that we can love one another.
That’s beautiful!

True words aren’t eloquent; eloquent words aren’t true.
Wise men don’t need to prove their point; men who need to prove their point aren’t wise.

The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others, the happier he is.
The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.

The Tao nourishes by not forcing.
By not dominating, the Master leads.

Lao Tzu

Q) Enlightenment, as I understand it, seems to conflict with my religious up-bringing. Does that mean I can’t be Enlightened?

A) No. Enlightenment in itself is purely Self-Realization. If this is indeed in conflict with your religion, then there is something wrong. It is possible some of the stories and insights from Enlightened people may seem to contradict some of the Religious ideas, with their traditions
handed down through Millennia, but whether we look at Christianity with the sayings Be still and know that I am God, and I and my Father are One, or Buddhism which is actually based around the teachings of an Enlightened person, or even much of the Baghavad Gita (as I recall); all refer to realising of the truth within one’s self.

Religion comes from the Latin word, ligare, meaning to bind back. To me that means to reconnect with our Source.

It is often the traditions which seem contradictory, not the original teaching. So you should have no trouble practicing being aware when you continue to learn about your religion. As you do so, you are likely to see truths in it you never saw before, while seeing where some of the truths end and the traditions begin.

Planets, solar systems and nebulae appear and disappear; energy is transformed into matter and matter is transformed into energy, but there is something which does not appear and disappear but is eternal and that is the great cosmic ocean of Consciousness, from and into which come all forms of energy. This is what modern science tells us, confirming the intuitive insight of the mystic.

Anyone interested in spirituality or religion will recognize that light, as an illuminating and life-giving energy, has been a much-used metaphor for the divine since time immemorial. Pure light has thus been equated with the light of truth, the light of God, the light of Consciousness, the light of Buddha, the Christ-light or the cosmic light, depending upon where one was born and what one was taught.

Nearly all cultures, peoples, and religious groups through the ages have talked about the phenomenon of light in the context of the spiritual or mystical experience. Spiritually inclined individuals have spoken of being called to the light, of being filled with light, of being guided by the light, and of dissolving in an ocean of light etc. Those who claim to have seen visions of holy beings typically report that they were surrounded by a radiant luminescence.

After Prince Siddhartha Gautama realized his Buddhahood, he taught that all beings are imbued with a spark of inner divine light. In describing the original Buddha-nature, Buddhists use such phrases as innate luminosity, primordial radiance, the unobscured clear natural mind, and the clear light of reality.

The enlightenment I speak of is not simply a realization, not simply the discovery of one’s true nature. This is just the beginning — the point of entry into an inner revolution. Realization does not guarantee this revolution, it simply makes it possible.

What is this revolution? To begin with, revolution is not static; it is alive, ongoing. Realization of the ultimate reality is a fact. Revolution is the continuous ongoing birth of intelligence. This intelligence restructures your entire being. This intelligence cuts the mind free of itself, of its old structures which are rooted become free of the old structures of human consciousness, then one is still in a prison, the prison of humanity’s consciousness.

This revolution is the awakening of an intelligence which alone has the ability to uproot all of the old structures of one’s consciousness. Unless these structures are uprooted, there will be no creative thought or action or response. Unless there is an inner revolution, nothing new and fresh can flower. Only the old will flower in the absence of this revolution. But our potential lies beyond the known, beyond the structures of the past, beyond anything that humanity has established.

One must be willing to stand alone — in the unknown, with no reference to authority or the past or any of one’s conditioning. One must stand where no one has stood before in complete nakedness, innocence, and humility.

To realize that we are one with the Creator, as Beethoven did, is a wonderful and awe-inspiring experience. Very few human beings ever come into that realization and that is why there are so few great composers or creative geniuses in any line of human endeavor. I always
contemplate all this before commencing to compose.

This is the first step. When I feel the urge I begin by appealing directly to my Maker and I first ask Him the three most important questions pertaining to our life here in this world — whence, wherefore, whither? I immediately feel vibrations that thrill my whole being. These are the spirit
illuminating the soul-power within, and in this exalted state, I see clearly what is obscure in my ordinary moods; then I feel capable of drawing inspiration from above, as Beethoven did.

Above all, I realize at such moments the tremendous significance of Jesus’ supreme revelation, “I and my Father are One”. Those vibrations assume the forms of distinct mental images, after I have formulated my desire and resolve in regard to what I want — namely, to be inspired so that I can compose something that will uplift and benefit humanity — something of permanent value.

Straight away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind’s eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies and orchestration. Measure by measure, the finished product is revealed to me when I am in those rare, inspired moods, as they were to Tartini when he composed his greatest work — the Devil’s Trill Sonata.

I have to be in a semi-trance condition to get such results — a condition when the conscious mind is in temporary abeyance and the subconscious is in control, for it is through the subconscious mind, which is a part of Omnipotence, that the inspiration comes. I have to be
careful, however, not to lose consciousness, otherwise, the ideas fade away.

Once upon a time, Truth had a human form. He had a passion to set people free from their wrong ideas so they could live better, and in the end, happier lives but he was thwarted in his desire.

All of you will be familiar with the phrase, ‘The naked truth’ and this stems from the fact that it was in the nature of Truth not to wear any covering. Although Truth in his nakedness was not uncomely and was even thought to be beautiful in an awesome kind of way, whenever he appeared to people in this unclothed fashion, they were surprised, shocked and often offended. They fled from Truth in the street, shunned his company and never invited him into their homes.

This made Truth feel frustrated and miserable for he longed for the company of ordinary people and wanted only to do them good. In the same town, lived Fiction who, at that time, also had a human form. Fiction owned his own theatre and put on plays every night for the
people. Truth noticed that, unlike himself, Fiction was very popular and eagerly sought out by the people who enjoyed his theatrical productions.

Fiction happened to meet Truth one day and, noticing how sad Truth looked, asked how he was getting on. Wiping away a tear, Truth told him that he was always being avoided by people and how unhappy this made him. “I have so much of value to tell them,” he said
despondently, “But they won’t even let me speak to them.” Fiction said, “Perhaps I can help you. Meet me at my theatre in an hour.”

When Truth arrived at the theatre, Fiction showed him a vast wardrobe of bright attractive costumes which he used for his productions. “There are far more here than I will ever need,” Fiction said, “Dress yourself up in some of these clothes, call yourself by another name and go out into the world with your wisdom and see how you get on.”

After a moments hesitation, Truth accepted the advice. He dressed himself from Fiction’s wardrobe and, taking the new name of Parable, he went out into the world and immediately found he was accepted and appreciated by almost everyone. From that time on,
wherever Parable has gone, he has been welcomed not only into the homes of men and women, but into their minds and into their hearts.
