When does the Seeking Cease?

10/16/15

There comes a time in your spiritual journey where there are few books you can pick up that can teach you a philosophy you haven’t come across.  That’s not to say that you’ve mastered everything, because mastery is an infinite practice.  But if you’ve read enough, you may find that you’ve read about almost every principal known to man. 

When that happens to you, and it will, what’s next?  Well, one of the other things that you no doubt do, other than reading and trying to embody the positive principals you’ve been reading, is constantly working on yourself.  No doubt, you have become very self-aware.  When things go wrong in your life, you look at the situation as honestly as you can, noticing the actions of the other, and noticing the actions and thoughts that you executed as well.  When you don’t like your actions or thoughts, you work on changing them.  This constantly tweaking yourself becomes a daily, weekly or monthly practice.  It occupies a big part of your life, and sometimes you refrain from some of the pleasures of life because you need to meditate, you need to contemplate on a situation, or you need to visualize something you want to manifest.  You and I both know that these practices are priceless, and they’ve created in us an individual that is exemplary in so many ways.  We become radiant, wonderful people, yet we keep seeking and working on ourselves.  But have you ever asked yourself when will you cease seeking?  We want enlightenment right?  So that’s what we’ll say, “We’ll stop seeking once we reach enlightenment.”  But think about that, and you’ll know it’s not true. Once you get to really understand things- and really, you already do understand a lot, but once you really get to understand things, you’ll merely realize, there is so much more to understand!  Once you understand this world, you’ll want to understand the world of spirit, and once you understand the world of spirit, you’ll want to understand the realm that creates the laws of spirit.  And also, how about this, no matter how amazingly loving you become, there will always be deeper wells of calm to attain, and greater understanding of others to master. 

So, here’s my point, we will never stop seeking nor stop working on ourselves. But all this seeking and working on ourselves, while very positive and admirable, creates a bit of anxiety, doesn’t it?  Seeking by its very nature isn’t a relaxing process, it’s active, it’s hypervigilant, it's motivated forward thinking, and the same goes with working on ourselves, neither is that so peaceful no matter how commendable.

There’s a spiritual teacher by the name of Matt Khan who suggests that we should love ourselves and love every moment by accepting it as perfect for our life right now.  He speaks of loving others, ourselves and each moment as the new spirituality.   Now, this is relaxing, because acceptance is all about opening up.  You can’t be tight and be open at the same time.  And acceptance is the twin to love, they are one and the same in many respects.  For those of us who’ve read hundreds of books and have worked hard and long on ourselves, now can be the time to stop.  Stop and begin the journey of loving yourself, your flaws, your strengths, love the moment, love the pain, love the anger, love the other person, love their flaws and strengths as well.  Isn’t that what it’s really all about anyway? Tell yourself you love yourself all day, and notice how your body relaxes and relishes your words. 

Many of us on the spiritual path are very hard on ourselves.  We can even be downright mean to the aspects of ourselves we find lacking. We mean well.  We want to be exceptional, but it's not loving, and every part of us needs love.  When something happens that you don’t like, accept the intelligence that composed the moment and thank it.  Can anything really go wrong, or is what we call “Going wrong” simply a lesson in disguise?  So love every moment, or at the very least, give every moment your love even if you can’t feel the love in your heart.  Give everything your love.  And when you give everything your love can there be any doubt that this will transform your life and inject it with a depth of relief and relaxation that is simply extraordinary?  It's so simple, this practice of giving love to everything, but is there any doubt that this must be the ultimate spiritual path? 

Where Sensuality and Spirituality Meet the Rubber

Re-Blog 2/20/15

In spite of seeing sex and sensuality blasted in almost every ad, in practically every movie we see and nearly every song we hear, most Americans have issues with their sexuality.  If we were truly comfortable with our sexuality, for example, men wouldn’t need to look at so much porn.  Whatever incredibly exciting feeling they were trying to achieve through perusing Playboy all by their lonesome, they’d feel bold enough, vulnerable enough, skilled or deep enough to achieve it through sex with their actual partners.  And women, well, some women wouldn’t secretly feel relieved when their periods were on, or when the kids climbed into the bed at night relieving them of having to find an excuse for not having sex. Somehow it seems that feeling really good is somehow, really not good. To further the point, the General Social Survey found that married couples have sex an average of 58 times per year which is a little over once a week- barely.  Yet a National Survey of more than 3,000 men and women ages 57-85, causes one to take pause with regard to this lackadasical drive to feel good.  For 23% of our older population claim to have sex at least once a week. And some of them are 85 years young, which is only not bad, it's actually refreshing and something to look forward to. But for something as pleasurable as touching and kissing, one might reasonably suppose more people would do it not only often, but as often as they physically could.

Somehow, most of mankind has separated the sensual from the spiritual, yet minus the guilt and references to hell, most spiritual practices are very soothing, even sensual, I dare say.  Most spiritual practices employ quietude, meditation or prayer, which automatically stimulates deep breathing and focused minds-the exact ingredients for good sex, I might add.  Or perhaps these aren’t the ingredients for average sex, but instead are akin to the practices of tantric sex.  In any event, what the sensual expression, meditation, prayer and yoga all have in common is the release of hormones like endorphins and serotonin that not only support robust health, but also have the potential to reverse disease.  In other words, prayerful meditation, sexual activity and yoga all reinforce the activity or expression of healthiness.  “Umm, interesting,” you say.

When we meditate long enough we usually find an interior state or Self that is referred to as the 'knowing our true nature'. “To know yourself is to know God”, is what occurs when we mediate or have a deep enough prayer life that involves more listening or feeling than speaking or beseeching.  When we begin to access this state or Self on a regular basis we develop an interior life, an inner life.  As time passes, this inner life begins to feel absolutely delicious and this is sensual to many. This inner merging or aligment causes one to experience a level of excitement for oneself, and this is the result of communing with a part of our self that is bigger and divine.  This aspect of us is so radiant it exudes bliss, heightened exuberance, and that feels very sexy, to put it bluntly. But for those of you who are shocked, let’s define what it is to feel sexy.  One dictionary defines sexy as:  excitingly appealing, and the synonyms it offered were:  passionate and stimulating.  So feeling sexy can have nothing to do with sex and more to do with a heightened sense of feeling extraordinarily great.

The Eastern Indian culture is no stranger to how our sensuality and spirituality meet and merge.  In fact tantric yoga, which branches off into a practice called tantric sex uses the physical act of making love for the specific purpose of attaining a spiritual experience!  When practicing tantric sex the partners use breathing, an open heart, the willingness to vulnerably express their emotions so that their two souls might freely move through their bodies and merge one with the other.  How incredible is that, and what does that mean, some may wonder?  Well, if meditating takes you to a place within that is sacred and blissful; and the manner in which it provides that transportation is wholeheartedly through breathing and inward focusing, then deep breathing and inward focusing during love making takes you right down that very same path.  The reason tantric sex is a practice and not something that every Tom, Dick and Harry experience whenever they have sex, is because most people have no idea of how powerful it is to connect the breath to consciousness.  Many are almost fully unaware of their breathing styles, in fact.  In addition, it is difficult to breathe deeply and in a focused and relaxed manner when you are engaging in sex with someone you don’t trust deeply for this kind of breathing does and is supposed to conjure emotions, some of which create feelings of immense vulnerability and fear.  Once more, when these feeling arise, in tantric sex, you remain connected to them, and this is what deepens the experience, the intimacy, and what brings you to a greater place of spiritual authenticity.  Before I move on, you might find it food for thought to know that in Aramaic the same word is used for both breath and spirit.

Finally, ultimately, what if the spiritual journey is actually about merging with ourselves and consequently feeling so absolutely turned on by the experience of this merging that we simply can’t help but radiate love and kindness to the entire world?  Consider this, if you were actually walking around on a daily basis feeling nearly orgasmic could you really hate, judge or do harm to another at the same time?  The answer is an undoubtedly no.  So ponder the repercussions of this path that simply involves the ecstatic joyous journey inward, and what it might mean if it were true.  For if it were so, wouldn’t it be a lot easier to forego all the hell and brimstone?  If we did forego this, we could just get to the whole loving God and humanity by way of simply feeling so divinely delicious that all we had to give was that same divine deliciousness to others?  Think of how different the world would be if we walked the earth feeling this way.

Are there are some white people in places of power whose nearly sole purpose in life is to hold you back as an African American, Latino, Asian or some Caucasian ethnicity that isn’t popular?  Yes.  Is there an African American in some place of power whose sole purpose in life is to hold back a woman, someone they just don’t like, or some other person who isn’t part of the sector of life they think worthy of their acknowledgment?  Yes.  Is there an Asian, Latino or someone of an unpopular Caucasian ethnicity that is holding some worthy person, back as well?  Yes.

Sensuality As Art

Blog 7/22/15

I was listening to a workshop given by David Deida where he discussed sex as being a form of art.  I love art, I believe life is art, and so hearing him compare sex to art was fascinating to me.  Some of the things he discussed was how there are, in his opinion, three levels of interactions between men and women.  Level one is where women look to men to meet their survival needs, and men see themselves only as the provider who basically runs the show. The second level is where a woman knows she can survive on her own, and is now looking for a give and take relationship.  A second level man knows he is not the sole leader of their relationship, and is looking for a woman who is willing to negotiate her needs and his needs to the fulfillment of them both.  The third level relationship is between two individuals who believe that there is something greater than the two of them, this something is usually spiritual or philanthropic in some manner.  A level three woman and man no longer look to please themselves or even each other, but instead, they look to please/satisfy/honor that thing which is bigger than either of them. Okay, so what does a level one, two or three man/woman have to do with sex being art, you’re wondering?

Couples who interact at level one can’t view love as art because they aren’t “one” with each other.  They are two people who are so separate they can’t live without the other because they are more like one half of a circle that never merges. They are therefore, incomplete and incapable of surviving alone but also, incapable of becoming one.  So, when two people are expressing art in their love making, they are looking to merge as completely as possible.  David says they are always seeking to express the light inside them to their fullest capacity.  Now, it’s important to understand that this light that David refers to, is who they are in that moment, and not indicative of anything necessarily spiritual.  Meaning, the man may on this night, be feeling very dominate, and so his light is to be fully authoritarian.  Or, he may feel submissive on this night, and so his light is to completely express that experience.  Some art is role playing and playful, other sexual art may be to experience your edge, your fears, the places inside you that you want to hide.  That's your art as well. In fact, it seems this is what David is always calling art- the places in us that are afraid to merge with the beloved.  David emphasizes that sexual art is always about expanding yourself beyond your edges and this is what makes it so dynamic, so thrilling and so artful.  It is impossible to express sex as art and make love the same every night.  You like that don’t you?  Yes, that’s why I decided to write this blog.  It’s just for you. (smile)

Level two relationships can experience sex as art, but because both individuals are treating their relationship like a business deal, “I’ll do this for you, if you do that for me,” sometimes being artful is difficult because if you haven’t gotten your end of the bargain, you probably won’t merge those places that want to hide, or those places that are scary. In other words, there’s a high probability that you will hold back due to feeling your partner hasn’t fulfilled his/her end of the “relationship bargain” and so you won’t be expressing the light inside you to your fullest capacity.  In fact, you'll probably hold your light inside yourself, out of anger, hurt feelings or fear.  The good news, is, David says most of hang out around the level two marker, only soaring into the third level when we are at our best.

But, in any event, I wrote this blog because seeing sex as art is to me, the best way I can imagine to make sure the sex never gets old.  How can art become old?  Art is always coming from our soul.  Art is always being born from inspiration and our exchanges with other human beings as we move through our day, and life in general.  If we see our sexuality as a way to be light and express light fully, then our love making becomes like improvisational music that is using the feeling tone of a moment to constantly move into new rhythms and chords that blow us away.  Because it's coming from our soul, it surprises us, surprises our lovers and essentially, becomes brilliant- just like great musicians/artists are brilliant!.  Improvisational music is never duplicated, it is a mathematical impossibility for this to be so.  And so it is with sex when it is art.  We become the moment, our lover becomes the life that we merge with, losing ourselves and giving our all, even when, and especially when it's scary.  For it is the fear of merging, of showing our imperfections, our pains and twisted emotions that makes life feel alive.  How cool is it, or would it be to find someone who you can express your sexuality as a form of art?   And what’s so wonderful about this concept, is that it would have to not only be fulfilling to our bodies and spirits to shatter our fears through making love, but it would have to expand and free us even outside of the bedchambers.  We would have to experience more balance in our lives because of what we were doing with our partners in the wee hours of the night.  Well, I think this just might be the best form of therapy I can think of!  Just joking, some of us still need a licensed therapist.  I’m just saying…

The Universe only says “Yes”

Blog 11/17/15

To our deepest beliefs, the Universe says only “Yes.”  To our deepest expectations, the Universe only says “Yes.”  Those who doubt this, are those who simply don’t know their deepest beliefs and expectations.  Those of us on the path of knowing who we are, know that there have been times when what we thought we believed, we discovered we did not.   “I always thought I loved myself,” we may say, “Until I noticed I would never have eaten the way I did, I would never have treated my body as I did, I would never have dated the people I did, had I really, really loved myself...”  When we don’t know our truest thoughts and beliefs, it appears that life is giving us things we don’t deserve.  When we know ourselves substantially, we realize life is always a reflection of minds. There is a saying in the bible that “The right hand often does not know what the left hand is doing.”

Take this to heart, for our words will often betray the images we truly entertain inside our minds. Noticing the quiet commentaries and images inside us is the first step into living a life of awareness.

I was listening to Matt Kahn, of TrueDivineNature, and he was speaking about the soul of our hearts.  He was saying that in our hearts is the small child who is actually the seed of the Divine self.  When we speak kindly to this child, it grows into our Divine Self, it grows into an Angel, our guardian Angel, our Inner Wisdom, or whatever you call that inner spirit you are so desperately seeking.  This is the self that says yes to us and then from the world of spirit, spins out the forms and things and relationships we all our lives.  This self which lives inside our heart is an aspect of the Universe, in other words.  We are beings of the Universe.  The Universe does not cease at the hem of darkness we call outer space.  The Universe is here too, we are as related to the celestial bodies that are even light years away, as we are to the mountains and rivers we call part of our earth.  In fact, the mountains and rocks we call part of our earth, are part of us.  Everything is life.  There isn’t the “human being” and then everything else in existence.  There is only existence, and we are part of it.

The moon cannot say no to a meteorite, any more than gravity can resist how far its force causes the earth orbits from the sun.  And neither can we resist the form our thoughts take, but we can, with effort and awareness, choose our thoughts.  Thoughts are energy, they are electromagnetic energy.  Thoughts are things, they attract their nature.  For the Universe, a large thought is as simple to transform into what we call reality, as a smaller one.  For whatever we may call large is infinitesimally microscopic to a Universe that boasts of landscapes that span billions of light years across and is decorated by splendid galaxies whose stars are outcount all the grains of sand on this planet called earth. Certainly if Life can manage such a feat as that, it can manage to supply us with abundant water, food, a splendid abode, sacred love, robust health and genius talent- but apparently only if we play our part.

There is, however no such thing as resistance in the Universe itself.  Everything moves, or will eventually move even if there is a barrier.  The river is what created formation we call the Grand Canyon.  The rock that was the Grand Canyon is sort of that thing that said, “No” to the river, and the Universe said, “Yes you will be transformed,” maybe not today, but eventually, “Yes”.  And that’s why “No” doesn’t exist, for at some point everything will move, will flow, and all of life moves and flows and breaks through the barriers before it. Movement is life.  That is the definition.  The only element in the Universe that can create resistance, are your thoughts. So if your life isn’t moving, it’s because the Universe is saying “Yes” to your deepest beliefs of:  “I don’t really deserve anything different than what I am, or what I have.”  And the Universe says, “Yes, okay, I concur, and so it is done.”

All Life Begins at The Edge

Blog 9/14/15

In every aspect of your life, there is an edge.  When I started practicing Yoga many years ago, students were instructed to stretch to the edge, hold it, allow it time for the muscle to “release” and then stretch to the next edge.  Many of you will understand this intuitively.  The edge in Yoga is that place in the stretch that feels a bit uncomfortable, but not harmful.  If you hold your edge, the muscle tissues will expand, and then you can stretch the muscle further.  If you’re adamant about becoming limber, you keep finding your edge.

There is an edge in every aspect of your life.  If you are an athlete, your edge is that place where your skill ends.  If you want to get past that edge, you must practice until your skillset increases.  Exemplary athletes are not simply talented, they are athletes who find their edge and excel beyond it.  If you are in a relationship, your edge is that place where your tolerance ends, or your passion ends, or your understanding ends, or perhaps, your love ends.  If you want to continue with your partner you must get beyond those edges.  If you were raised in poverty, your edge is called “not enough money.”  If you want to get past that edge, you have to imagine and feel what it would be to have more money than you could possibly need.  If you were brought up in an abusive environment, your edge is your inability to know what it is to be cherished.

But how do you get past those edges, some of you may be wondering? You get past your edge for intolerance through practicing acceptance, you get past your edge of passion by going inside yourself, to those places where you hold back or tense up, and you work it out- by thinking, feeling or reading books that expand you into new understanding and new feeling. You get past your lack of understanding by realizing no one but you thinks like you.  Rarely will your understanding of you translate into the understanding of another.  Instead, you stop requiring that your way of thinking, feeling or behaving is the barometer for others, and allow others to be who they are.  Period. You get past your edge of “not enough” love, adoration or finances, by realizing if there are too many stars to count, if there is a Universe that cannot be measured, if apple and orange trees bear fruit year after year after year, if the sky expands into outer space, that expands into something called our solar system which expands into expanses of space billions of light years wide, which expands into…. You get the picture. We evidently live in a reality where the natural laws are apparently abundance, and poverty, well that is the anomaly. And finally, you get past your edge of not enough loving, by deepening your heart, by opening your heart, by telling yourself you love you so much and so often, you transform your heart into this amazing organ that radiates pure power and pure unabashed love- and this, this changes you on levels that are beyond amazing.

In life, if we are not constantly feeling for the edge, we are living in comfortable terrain, and living comfortably amounts to an ordinary life.  If you feel you were created to be ordinary, then you can be very content living in comfort.  But if you feel you were meant to be spectacular, you seek the edge and you learn to be comfortable, with discomfort.  In fact you redefine what it means to be uncomfortable, just like the avid exerciser learns to love the “burn” of muscle tissue- they actually crave muscle exhaustion.  You redefine discomfort just like the person who wants to lose weight learns to how to enjoy how it feels to not feel stuffed.  You redefine discomfort just like a leader learns how to enjoy standing out in the crowd, and being the only one who walks the road less traveled.  You see, the extraordinary individual takes life, and knows that all definitions are hers/his to redefine as they like, and because of this, they break through what they used to think of as reality. You are reality.  You are reality, you-are-reality!

Looking For Your People

Blog 8/12/15

At first you feel guilty for looking around you and seeing mediocrity everywhere.  You suspect you are a snob.  You overlook all your tragedies and pain, and think it must be far worse for the other guy.  You spend hours meditating on how to find the wonderful in everyone.  And you find the wonderful in everyone, yet still it seems you are cornered by doubters, whiners, the woe is me, ones, the ones that can’t be successful because, that can’t succeed because… And finally you realize something about you is different.

Was it luck?  Are you just lucky you have a “Go big or go home” attitude?  No, it’s not luck because you recall that time in your life when you nearly gave up.  Remember that day?  I remember that day, or those three separate occasions when my world view almost turned the color of permanent bleakness.  Once a friend said something profound in response to the seedling of negativity I was about to forever plant into what I considered the 'real and true'.  Another time an elderly man, a stranger who engaged me in a transformational conversation after sitting on my parent’s steps needing to rest his legs, and the third time, okay, that was either luck or divine intervention.  I suspect the latter.

But let’s get back to the point of being surrounded by mediocrity.  If you are in the midst of people whom when you speak you have to water down your dreams, you have to dilute how great you really feel or you have to pretend life is drudgery, then you aren’t around “your people”.  And maybe you don’t know who your people are yet, or you haven’t met them yet.  But when you meet them, all the pretenses crumble, and finally you can be true to the bone, the authentic you, and or as fiercely successful  as your little heart desires.

However, the truth is this, if you are surrounded by attitudes you want to rise above, you can only rise above them if you are on your way to surrounding yourself with people who have different attitudes. Are you arguing with me now?  Okay, how about this, “birds of a feather flock together”, or  “you can only attract who and what you are”, “or water seeks its own level.”  Hopefully one of those facts convinces you that if you are around those you find want less than you, they will hold you back like glue if you don’t actively loosen yourself from their midst and put some distance between you.  I recall growing up in the inner city and soon to be off to college.  A friend who was going off to college as well, said she would always want to live in our neighborhood.  And I thought to myself, “Are you crazy?”  She ended up getting pregnant and not completing college, and I ended up with several degrees and my first apartment, a high rise with a desk clerk in the lobby that greeted me every morning.  There was a pool as well, but I couldn’t afford to be a member, if the truth be known.  But you get my point.  Our lives took very different roads because I always knew my road led away from our neighborhood, and she thought her road would lead her right back.  And it did.

Here’s the truth: You won’t get to where you are going without people who think like you and better than you. I am not saying you can’t say hello to those who don’t want what you want.  You can even drop by every now and then and shoot the breeze.  But if this type of person is part of your support group, or you social group you need to let it go.  You need to let it go and find people who intimidate you because they make you grow.  And when you find those kinds of people, you have to park your ego in the garage and listen, learn and become so knowledgeable you  become that person that others find inspirational.

Life Is The Weight You Bench Press

Blog 8/4/15

Life is the weight you bench press.  Those who challenge themselves are bench pressing, like 500 pounds.  Those who run from challenge are bench pressing five or ten pounds.  Your muscles are your successes, being willing to feel the burn, is you not giving up.  Loving the burn is you living an exceptional life.  When you go to the gym and lift to feel the burn, it changes your entire mindset.   When you go through life looking for the next challenge, you are no longer amongst the mediocre.  Hanging around light weights, is like a body builder paling around with someone who bench presses feathers.  Light weights will bring you down because they live life beneath the exceptional level.  If you wonder why no one supports you- it’s because they can’t support themselves. Those who support you are strong enough to support them and you. Those who make excuses need excuses. Those who don't make excuses need none. Offering an excuse to the strong, is a freakin' insult. When you are well read, or know a lot, those who know little, will doubt you know much.  Those who think you know much, know enough to recognize a great mind.  Never prove you are right.  You will never be right. You will only be closer to truth than not. Only God possesses ultimate truths.  Thinking you do as well, is a sign you’re really not as smart as you think.  Don't do that.  If you're really smart, it's a freakin' insult to have to prove it to a mind that doesn't already recognize it!. You have to learn how to be okay with hanging around with other body builders.  Your inability to do so means inside, you are a light weight afraid to hang around with too much muscle.  That’s okay, think it over and give them a call later tonight.

Free Falling Into Your Self: The Sacred Breath

Re-Blog: 3/25/14

Breathing- most of don't even think about it and if we do, we think of it as something only important because it's what sustains life. But one day we will have a new culture. It will be a culture that understands breath to be far more than the airy substance that we breathe.

What is breath and what is so special about it, you may ask? I would first answer it by saying that breath is not just special- it is sacred. In the Aramaic language breath and spirit are one and the same. Think on that a moment. Imagine fully accepting that breath and spirit are one. If we allowed this concept to become part of our daily lives, we would constantly realize that we were merging with God through our respiration, consuming God, bringing God into our very experience both physically, mentally and of course spiritually. Just that realization alone could revolutionize our society, the culture we live in and how we view life and each other. We would look around and see God everywhere. We would no longer believe that churches, synagogues and temples held God; instead we would see it the other way around. God being the very air permeates every stone in those buildings and so God holds them in place. More importantly, there would be no need to feel walking into a building is what made those services sacred. In fact, since God is the breath that makes every Imam, every Rabbi and Minister's words possible, it wouldn't even be their words that were sacred but instead the breath that gave them life. Every breeze would be ecstatic, there would be meaning in the wind, as though God were embracing us, every tree that swayed and every leaf that trembled in its wake would to us look like the shivering of joy, and perhaps we might smile and for a moment be at one with nature.

Accepting that breathing and spirit were the same we would come to understand why deep breathing relaxes us, and why breathing slowly changes our brains waves, causing that organ to operate on deeper and healthier levels. It would make sense to us why it is that when we take a deep breath the anger goes away, but conversely, why that same deep breath during sex causes our joy to explode into ecstasy. Accepting this concept of spirit and breath we would finally understand how breathing slowly through meditation reverses the effects of stress on our bodies and minds, how it releases just the hormones and chemicals that support our immune system and how it also has the potential to alleviate or lessen high blood pressure, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, aging, depression... the list could go on for quite a while. We would, however, come to understand why the breath heals for we would understand that it is after all, God.
