131-How to Find Your Heart's Desire by Attuning Yourself to God's Will.

 Endeavor to make yourself what you should be and what you want to be. As you keep your mind on God and attune yourself to His will, you progress more and more surely on your path.----- Paramahansa Yogananda. "The Law of Success"

Do not waiver on your path. Remain steadfast in your desire for and your belief of your ultimate success in this life. Attune your heart, spirit, mind, and soul on God's will for you and you cannot fail. Your Father wishes for you to be successful in your life and to attain your Heart's Desire. He above all others knows your longings and desires. You are his child. Remember that " I and my Father are One, All things that my Father Hath are Mine." Stop defeating yourself with doubts and fears. They serve no purpose. If you were to truly believe than you truly can. Through right action, purposeful living, deep meditation and self honesty you can overcome any personal obstacle to your success. Why be a slave to negativity and failure. No longer compare yourself to others around you. You can become the very change that you wish for in this world. Start Today!

129-Finding Your Path To Peace And Harmony Through Meditation.

 Do not lament if you see no lights or images in meditation. Go deep into the perception of Bliss; there you will find the actual presence of God. Seek not a part but the Whole.------Paramahansa Yogananda, "Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda"

It is easy to be discouraged in your attempt at Meditating. Nothing worthwhile in the World comes to you without Perseverance. You must know that many Great Masters before you have walked the Path that you now walk. Keep your Life as simple as you are able. Lessen the noise of the world and listen to the voice within you. Dive deeper into the quiet of the silence in your mind. You will slowly become more attuned to your spirituality and be willing to become one with your new found sense of purpose. It is and ever growing peace and harmony that will fill your heart and mind. You owe it to your self to find your way free of the  bondages that Western Civilization has placed upon you. You will learn to be at one with yourself, your possessions, your career and your spiritual path in this world. This is the Promise that awaits you on your path.

127- How to adjust your attitude to overcome Maya-Delusion

 The most destructive shaft of maya-delusion is unwillingness to meditate, for by this attitude one prevents himself from tuning in with God and Guru--- Paramahansa Yogananda, "Rajarsi Janakananda: Great Western Yogi"

KRIPA----- INDIVIDUAL DELUSION (AVIDYA)

Maya, cosmic delusion, is the universal substance of forms in the Infinite Formless. Avidya is the individual cosmic hypnosis or illusion imposed on the forms that makes them express, perceive, and interact with one another as though each has its own separate reality. God's omnipresent undifferentiated cosmic consciousness underlies its mayic separations into parts through which the Creator expresses His manifoldness. By the visualization of His thoughts, through the power of maya, " the magical measurer," God creates sustains, and dissolves dream worlds and beings.--- Paramahansa Yogananda

Everything in the Universe is Transient and changing. What you perceive as real is made up of individual atoms. Atoms have particles and molecules and are also constantly changing. Be grounded in the world but remain flexible. The earth is a living breathing organic organism that we are rapidly depleting and destroying. The changes in the weather and its patterns are indicative of the beginning rumblings of her death and destruction. It is imperative that the current course we are in now be halted immediately. Herein lies the difficulty. By not meditating, you are closing your being an essence to enlightenment. You are allowing Delusion and Maya to spread its darkness upon you and this world. Open up your heart and mind to cosmic consciousness and go deeply into meditation. You will find all the riches of the world exist in its peace.

123- Aligning Your Actions for Success with Wisdom and Meditation

 Freedom

You cannot be free unless you have burned the seeds of past actions in the fire of wisdom and meditation.

– Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

“Yogoda Satsanga Magazine”

Your past actions should not rule your present circumstances. To be free you must work through meditation and Kriya Yoga. You can dispel the karma of past actions. How can I do this you ask? Study the Lessons of the Self-Realization Fellowship and put them to use in your life. It works. The writing in this blog is the testament to this theory. If you are not finding satisfaction and happiness in your life than perhaps it is time for a change. Do not fear change! Change is not your enemy or an action to bring heartache. The right change can bring happiness and fulfillment beyond your wildest expectations. If it seems as if the world of Covid, Politics, Global Warming is closing in upon you than it may be the time to look for the right change in your life. Go forward in your new found freedom and attract the positive rewards that are there for you. You are a Divine creation of your father and he is working miracles every day for you in your life. Open your Heart, Spirit and Mind and accept them. Remember that when preparation meets opportunity it is the Law of Success. Go out and prepare yourself today.

113-Accepting the Reality of Miracles and How to Attract Them

'"What is a miracle? Tis a reproach,/ 'Tis an implicit satire on mankind."

------Edward Young, "Night Thoughts" "Who ever realizes himself as a son of God, even as Babaji has done, can reach any goal by the infinite powers hidden within him."

                            Babaji the timeless avatar,  

Materializing a Palace in the Himalaya's for Lahiri Mahasaya his disciple.

Chapter 34 "Autobiography of a Yogi"

Miracles abound in our lives you have to be open to receive them. Water does not flow from a closed faucet or a dammed stream. Why would you think that a miracle could be manifested in your life or ether if you are not a believer although the Bible (And All Holy Books) are full of such stories. You must open your heart and mind to the possibilities that exist in the Universe that you know nothing about. Are you so sure that you know all that there is to be known? I think not. If you become a beacon of positive light and energy through Meditation and Practice the Scientific Methods of Kriya Yoga you can be assured of the Law of Your  Success. Look around at the World and the Searching and Lost Souls, you need no longer be among them. Find your Hearts Desire and you will find the True Meaning of Your Life and Why You Grace the World We Live In Today!

93-How can I learn to Meditate?

 The more you meditate the more helpful you can be to others, and the more deeply you will be in tune with God. Selfish people remain spiritually hide-bound, but the unselfish expand their consciousness. When you find your omnipresence in meditation, you will find God. If he is pleased with you, all nature will work in harmony with you. Learn to talk to Him with all your soul---Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons.  

You must do Kriya Yoga everyday is the edict that Gurudev has given us. Meditate deeply to find your truth. It will become clearer to you the deeper into Spirit that you journey. If you do not know how to meditate the SRF Lessons are a wonderful place to begin. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Simply put you must make the effort to begin. The journey is filled with joy and freedoms that you have no idea exists. Why not take the journey today, right now. What are the alternatives, suffering and desperation that is the world we live in today. Do you wish for a change. Then be it!

The Autobiography of a Yogi

Sixty- One; Becoming The Comptroller Of Your Destiny, In The Time Of The Coronavirus

    Mind  is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a thought with dynamic willpower, it finally assumes an outward tangible form. When  you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the comptroller of your destiny.

    Paramahansa Yogananda, "The Law Of Success"

     Destiny they say is fickle. But it is an untruth, there is nothing that is of chance about it. Through the Scientific Methods Of Kryia Yoga of The Self-Realization Fellowship and the Masters you can achieve Samadhi. (Enlightenment) This is an absolute proven truth. There is nothing to chance about it. By applying the same principles in living your daily life and conducting your self in the manner of an enlightened Being you will be able to change your circumstances. Do not have fear or doubts. Doubts are for the disbelievers and the down trodden. No matter what your circumstances are today, do everything in your power to begin a new path this moment. Move froward with your spirituality and all things will come to you. It is an absolute truth passed down through the lineage of the great souls. They have come before you to shine the light to guide you from the darkness and confusion of maya. Do not be dismayed no matter where you are in your journey. Study the Lessons and put in the time to perform the exercises, both mental and physical. Take the time to meditate. The Self-Realization Fellowship will guide you in your progress and help you to attain your goal. It is a promise and it will be attained by you if you will exercise your willpower toward that end. Now is the time to trust in yourself and your abilities to create a new life for yourself and your loved ones. Take care of yourself and the world will be at your command. Success will be yours.

     

Fifty-Nine; Overcoming Trials, InThe Time Of The Coronavirus

      “Your trials did not come to punish you, but to awaken you – to make you realize that you are a part of Spirit and that just behind the sparks of your life is the Flame of Infinity.” Paramahansa Yogananda

     Trials abound all around us at this time. They are ever pervasive and daunting. They cannot be allowed to become part of your ether. You must use everything at your disposal to block negative energy from yourself and your environment. Cleansing and clearing negative energy and brining positive and healing energy can be accomplished by smudging your space and self. It is an ancient art and will help you to clear your environment.

    Meditate deeply on positive thoughts and read literature by enlightened masters. Remember that this is a new reset. Preconceived ideas about how things are now are archaic. No longer live under the veil of maya. Step out into the light and join those that are working for the greater good of the world and society as a whole. These are new times and will some day be referred to as the Pandemic Reformation or the Great Renaissance after the Coronavirus. Be a leader of the movement and not a follower. The times make the Leader. The opportunity to have a Lead Walk On Part In The Greatest Show the world has ever seen is yours for the taking. Do not be a shrinking violet. Step up grab the brass ring and command your future. We are and we will not falter. I hope you will join us. May God Bless You and Keep You Well through these times.

     

Twenty-One; The Art Of Grieving

"Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."
                                                                                   Rumi


     Grief, the silencer of hope. Grief crashes into life and disrupts plans, dreams, and accomplishments. Grief can be self actuated, grief can be random. It often comes at the pinnacle of success. The Yin-Yang of life. Balance at its essence, balance that keeps everything even. Positivity is not greater than negativity. All well to know that even your grief is part of your living. When life brings grief and sadness into your being it is difficult to embrace the feeling and work through it. If you believe in balance in life you then must believe that your loss or whom or what you are grieving for will eventually make its way back into your ether. It appears to be a fatalistic view at first glance but looked at in a deeper thought you will see that not only is grief and loss a motivator. It is also an equalizer. Life lived at higher vibration or level cannot always be maintained. Life should be lived on an even keel. Meditation along with energization exercises will help keep you in a balanced form. It will help you to make your way beyond loss and grief.

     

Eighteen: Align your will with God's Will for Success

     When you makeup your mind to do good things, you will accomplish them if you use dynamic will power to follow through. No matter what the circumstances are, if you go on trying, God will create the means by which your will shall find its proper reward.
                                                                  In the Sanctuary of the Soul, Paramahansa Yogananda

     The key for the use of will is to align your will with God's will. Every time in life that my personal will was asserted the result seemed to turn out unpleasant. My will was flawed. It was not in tune with God's will for me. It is easier with the use of hindsight to understand where the insertion of my will cause a flaw in the design of my life. To be attuned to the will of God through meditation, healing affirmations and right thinking is far better than floundering around blind in life. There is no way that without the realization of divine guidance in your life that you can move forward.

The Corona Virus Writings Increase your Willpower to Overcome Fear In The Time of Covid

     Fear is a tangible commodity. Therefore it can be defeated. To allow fear to manifest in any form in your life is senseless. Do not fixate it vexes the spirit, guide your thoughts through Meditation to overcoming it. Concentrate on positive thought. Continue to think in new ways to overcome negativity.  It does not serve you. Do not be a slave to your thoughts. Be a Master of your own life. Start today with the first action. Move forward today by using your willpower to defeat fear. Do not obsess it is counter productive to achieving your goal. Today well lived is sufficient. Let tomorrow be. It serves no purpose to fixate on yesterday. View positive images and listen to uplifting music.

I"m on Fire

Did you ever have periods of time where you could feel yourself glowing? You were resonating so well with the universe that you almost thought that you were on fire! What were you doing? What were you thinking? Where were you living? No matter where you are now remember back to that time, clear your mind and allow yourself to rekindle that flame. It is hard to look past your daily sorrows or suffering to find that place where you are free and alive. Allow yourself time in the mornings to clear your mind and give praise to all the good things you have. Learn to meditate and to calm you inner dialogue and negative self talk. Read positive literature and listen to uplifting music and songs.

   Once you were a child and laid on the ground and looked at the clouds and dreamed of all the great things you were going to accomplish in your life. Rekindle that friendship with your inner child and again dream great dreams. The key is not to stay where you are. Move forward, become a part of something greater than yourself. Write a love poem. Start a short story! Finally begin that great American Novel you were always going to write. Make the pieces of April into a Tapestry for May!

Create Your Future

     I know it sounds simple. It is not. Controlling your negative thoughts and emotions is extremely hard. They will pull you from your centeredness. Meditation in any form will help. There are many forms of meditation and I suggest you study and follow a path. It was simple for me my Guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, found me. He found me in the form of his book Autobiography of a Yogi. ( The only book Steve Jobs downloaded to his IPad.) I saw his face on a book on the end cap of a shelf in a book store in Telluride, Colorado after a writing conference. I was inexplicably drawn to the radiance of his face and immediately became a devotee.  I read his book, starting taking his lessons and was initiated in Kria Yoga and became a Yogi of the Self-Realization Fellowship a few short years later. It has changed my thoughts and my life for the better. You do not have to become a Yogi. It is how I am wired, I have always taken everything to the extreme. I can honestly say that my extremes are a thing of the past. I live and exist in the moment and the day. It doesn't mean that I don't have the highs and lows of life as you live it, they are just shorter and I always return to my mediation and energization exercises daily in the morning and the evening. It has allowed me the freedom in Life to finally pursue the goals and dreams I have always longed to pursue but have never applied myself to becoming. It is a long journey, and one that I am committed to with my entire heart and soul. I hope that you find your happiness and joy your world.

An Appointment with Knowledge

 

 "Knowledge is a most peculiar affair,"he said, especially for a warrior. Knowledge for a warrior is something that comes at once, engulfs him, and passes on."

Don  Juan to Carlos Castaneda, "Tales of Power."

                                                    Wild Horses
Wyoming, early morning prairie dews
seep deep enough, pooling reflecting
a wild chestnut stallion's eyes.

His hooves kicking pebbles rippling
little waves, flowing trickling into
small streams of mirages,
dissipating into noon day vapors
and pastured greens of rattle snake plains.

                                                Appaloosa Sky
Now I listen to horses
in fields of green grasses
that reflect from blue mountains
in waves of grey moonlight
that dawn is an Appaloosa
with and eye of forgiveness.

                                               Just Ask A Horse
Now you see,
I've got this light
It's from these mountains
That I Bring.


Happy Hunter's Moon, and Harvest Moon.

Tranquillity

 Energization exercises like Kriya Yoga have allowed me to calm my kindred spirit. The same energy that I once burned off through skiing and climbing and being outwardly physical I am now able to channel in to productive energy through scientific stretching and meditation. These days I am far more sedentary than I was in my youth. My mind returns often to the exciting exploits of younger days. Left unchecked the excess energy can build in my life and aid in disrupting my calm. By focusing my mind on meditation and exercise I am able to release the excess energy and enjoy a calm spirit.
Soothing the soul through massage aids in relaxation. It helps immensely to have a massage table set up in your living space. There are also massage chairs available. Listening to quite soothing music designed for healing during massage and meditation helps.

Tranquillity

With tranquillity, the small goes and the great comes, with auspicious success: this means heaven and earth interact, and their wills are the same. Yang inside and yin outside symbolize inward strength with outward docility, being a cultivated person within while appearing outwardly to be an ordinary person. The ways of cultivated people go on and on, the ways of ordinary people disappear.
