INSPIRATIONAL BLESSINGS - 2010 IS A YEAR OF FEARLESS WISDOM - Walking the Path of Practical Enlightenment is Grisht Ashram


S
afe is a state of being, not a place. It is a state that invokes feelings that in turn invoke perceptions, which create a sense of the pace at which time appears to pass. These feelings - perceptions - and the pace - all influence the value of the "place" . . . you perceive as your location. This is a state of being and your question is . . . is it safe?

The value of pace, like place, creates an opinion. Is it a good time, a bad time, a real time, a fast time, not enough time, too much time and much more? Place and pace ultimately determine who you think or feel you are - which you interpret as who you are. This is not actually who you are, it is how you appear through this system of filters, but this is only your observation, something far away from you.

Because you appear to be something other than what you are; you have a feeling inside of being out of place, out of sorts and out of time. You don't feel cozy. You try to correct this with all sorts of changes and consumptions, but it is like that unreachable place on your back. Nothing you do can get to it.

When you don't feel cozy, you project this lack onto your surroundings and this in turn reflects a lacking back on you. This cozy-less reflection comes back from everything and everyone in your vicinity and now you feel uncomfortable with them too. You blame it on "them" - but it is not them.

Such is the formation of life. It has nothing to do with anything other than you. If it happens to you, it happens through you. But you cannot determine this when you are influencing everything with your projection formed through these deceptive filters. Further: when you also prefer this to be different; you do not actually see this for what it is - you see this through the distortion of your further desires.

This we call the dance of Maya. It is a bias and is nearly one hundred percent pandemic in this world. Our job, as humans, is to reduce this chaos and bias and ultimately see things as they are, not as they appear.

When you can get to viewing things as they are; you will perceive everything without wanting it to be different. This is a difficult puzzle. This Maya . . . this puzzle, is a code that yogis have sought to break forever. Not only does this pertain to everything and everyone around you; it also pertains to you, because everything reflects you back to you.

Spiritual writings refer to desire-less-ness . . . not to be without intention, but to be without distortion. Desire-less-ness is perception without preference . . . a view of the world, including you, without distorting the picture with these illusions of bias. Such are the twists of a human existence and it is up to you to break the code . . . with yoga, meditation, contemplation, chanting, prayer and anything else you can use as your daily disciplines.

These Inspirational Blessings are like mantras . . . reminders that cause us to think at a new angle . . . to shake up old patterns . . . to renew and rebuild our vision and purpose. We then gain insight to ignite and inspire an opening to manifest our conscious focus through conscious action. Find Guru Singh's music HERE and his new book HERE.

    SatNam Guru SIngh. I am a student of Karuna 's in Boulder COLORADO. I am writing to ask for your expertise on Meditative sound sequences for a Public Art Sculpture that I am working on. I would be honored to have your advice and input.Having worked on Public Art installations for the last 23 years both within Europe and the US, I have come to understand the great impact that an Artist's Public Art Statement can have upon its audience . Although my recent work has been fabricated from 100% reused and recycled materials, I am interested in taking the sustainability message a step further.I believe that it is time to combine the forces of Creativity ,Spirituality and the Sciences in order to reach the interest and participation of a broader and more diverse audience. It is time that the visual aesthetics of Public Art become morally responsible for its impact on its audience by creatively providing a meditative sound space using renewable sources of energy to enhance the experience. In so doing , I believe that we can educate the public within a mindful framework. Visual stimulation is often quickly dismissed , hence the auditory meditative sound environment which will engage the auditory senses and keep the viewers present . By encouraging Mindfulness, perhaps the participants will consider alternatives in their daily lives.
    If you have any interest in seeing the drawings for this proposal and/or helping me with the healing sound waves, please email me. Thanks you for your time . Blessings
    Blessings
