When you have been on a spiritual path
for a long time, it is natural to forget what you learned in the beginning. When
we do our practices over and over again, over a long period of time, we can
easily go unconscious and our progress on the spiritual path begins to stall.
What is it that we are trying to do
when we pray, meditate, or breathe? We are trying to connect with the divine
spirit and to return to our Center. To do that, we have to raise our frequency.
Our heart leads us to God and to the Goddess, but we have to do the work
ourselves. The resonance is with us all of the time, but when your frequency
becomes dull, sluggish, or dark, there is no way to make that divine connection.
Even if you are praying or meditating, your vibrational frequency has to be
elevated to such a level that you start to find the frequency of God or of the
Goddess. So as you practice, remember why you are doing what you are doing: You
are striving to uplift your consciousness and to raise your frequency in order
to make the divine connection.
When we elevate our frequency, we are
building our body of light. Lightness is high frequency, darkness is low
frequency. Light is light, dark is heavy. When your thoughts are agitated or
when they are limited, or anything in between, it is a low frequency.
Everything you do from breathing, to thinking, to speaking, or to taking
action, has an impact on your being and the way that you are in this world. The
food that you eat, the way you cook, the frequency of the foods you choose, the
style you cook with, the environment you live in, the people you choose to
spend time with---all of these affect you. If you are thinking heavy thoughts,
stop thinking heavy thoughts. Remember to elevate your frequency, even in the
midst of a challenge.
In order to succeed on a spiritual
path, you have to learn how to develop your intuition and how to accelerate your
frequency. Just a few minutes of meditation or a few minutes of reciting The
Lord’s Prayer, can help so much. But you must remember what you are doing and
how you are doing it. If you are sitting in meditation in the morning, but you
are worrying about something by mid-morning or upset about something on the
news, your frequency will begin to decline. So always keep yourself aligned
with beauty and with love and with light.
When you go to your altar and you light
your candle, remember the real reason you are bringing yourself there is to light
the candle of your heart. In the morning, when the sun is rising and you
breathe the golden light into your third eye, your throat, and your chest, and you
fill yourself with golden light, you are doing it to elevate your consciousness
and to build your light body. And at the end of the day, when the sun is
setting, take in that last little bit of light, so that you can carry it with you
into the darkness.
Remember that as a being, you are a
frequency, and everything you do affects the nature of your frequency. Make
yourself light and remember you are doing it not only for yourself, but also
for everyone else. Every being is a frequency. Open your heart in your prayers and
surround the world, and send out that frequency everywhere. Offer it very
simply, and it will go where it needs to go and it will do what it needs to do.
These
words from Bapuji recently got my attention: “Love flowing in another’s life is
the source of our happiness, and love flowing in our life is the source of
another’s happiness, and this is a universal law.” How we become happy is
expressed here in a different way from what I’m used to. You are the source of
my happiness, and I am the source of your happiness?
Yes, because we are all one. If
somebody is a fun, light-hearted being, we gravitate to that person because
their spirit uplifts us. We listen to music because its frequency uplifts us. A
being in whom love is flowing lifts us up into the frequency of love.
But
I thought that I was the source of my own happiness.
You have to understand that many
paradoxes exist within the universal truths. No one can open the flower within
your own heart. You have to do that yourself. Yes, we are the source of each
other’s happiness when love is flowing in our lives, but each individual soul
has a unique journey of his or her own that has to unlock the flower within the
heart and keep it open in order to realize love. We can support each other and
love each other, but we cannot do it for each other.
As we walk everyday on the path of
love, and as we journey as a soul on the path of love, we have to face our
darkness. So there is that paradox. Lead
us from untruth to truth, from darkness to light. We have an aspect of
ourselves that is unconscious. So even though we are drawn to the light, we
have to be brave enough to meet ourselves when there is darkness.
