A Course in Miracles and many others
This space explores the spiritual truths reflected in the teachings of Yeshua and the wisdom across many other traditions. They all point towards a shared understanding that what one seeks is not found externally. This is revealed through an inner shift where your perception of separation dissolves. In this moment is where truth and love are remembered. The path one takes to truly "Know Thyself" is the most sacred journey. I welcome you to a place to learn and explore with me. I will bridge you back to what is truth within and take your hand as a guide to a deeper inner-standing of who you are.
Here are four simple, yet powerful teachings. May you go out with Joy and be led forth with Peace.
What you seek is already within
The deepest spiritual teachings point toward the understanding that what we search for externally (peace, love, truth, the sacred) is all waiting to be recognized within our own awareness. It is Here and Now. Always.
Separation Is the Great Illusion
Across mystical traditions there is a recurring teaching that separation from life, from others and The Divine is but a condition of perception. All healing and I mean all healing begins through our remembering of deeper unity.
True Knowing Comes Through Experience
Most Contemplative traditions consistently point beyond belief, ideology or intellectual understanding. These point to a direct knowing that is witnessed through experiences and awareness. Breath work is one of many ways or tools that may help with this inner knowing.
The Kingdom, Truth, The Divine Presence Is Within
There is a shared understanding throughout many traditions that the sacred is found through stillness, awareness and direct experience within the present moment or The Holy Instant. Be still and know, I AM.
Four more ways to deepen
These teachings will change periodically. Use them to strengthen your relationship to yourself.
Turn Inward Before Turning Out
Across many traditions there is the recognition that understanding life begins by turning inward first. Take a moment to observe the inner world before attempting to interpret the outer one. You do not see the world as it is, you see it as you are. Try this during any moment you feel restriction within. Example, You feel you have to defend your position. Why? To be right? To be heard? To gain validation? or approval? Contemplate.
What Is Real Does Not Require Effort To Sustain
In many mystical teachings across different paths there is a shared sense that what is most real within us does not need to be forced or maintained. This is revealed to us when we stop striving and begin to soften. When you start to release attachments, not being detached but not letting your attachments control you, the game starts to become more clear. True freedom or liberation does not come with a detachment from life but from being controlled by attachment. What do you cling to?
Perception Shapes Your Experience More Than The Circumstance
Across many philosophies there is a consistent reflection that your experience is shaped less by external events themselves and more by the way they are perceived. You perceive things only by the color of the lens you are looking through. Take a moment to look through every lens and every perception possible before taking a "position" within any experience. Can you see through all the colors of the lenses?
Stillness Reveals What Thinking Cannot
Stillness is seen as a gateway to a deeper form of knowing. A bridge to the Divine. This teaching points to us that a deeper truth and a deeper knowledge or wisdom is revealed within the stillness of our mind. When your thinking settles and the mind can quiet, one may observe the forms of thought passing by and within this stillness there is One voice one can access, One can hear without ears. This is where Truth will be revealed. "Be still and know I am God".
