Not Alone in the Dark
Looking at What We Don’t Want to See
The things we don't want to look at in ourselves are the very things we need to look at.

It is one of life's great paradoxes that the things we don't want to look at in ourselves are the very things we need to look at in order to know ourselves better and to become more fully who we are. The feelings that make us want to run away are buried treasure full of energy and inspiration if we are willing to look. These feelings come in many forms, from strange images or snippets of information to recurring dreams and feelings that rise up seemingly without a reason. Whatever shape they come in, and no matter how scary they seem, these messengers bring the information we need in order to grow.

When we are tired of pushing something down, or trying to run away from it, a good first step is to write down what we think we are avoiding. Often this turns out to be only the surface of the issue or a symbol of something else. Expressing ourselves fully on paper is a safe way to begin exploring the murky territory of the unconscious.

The coolness of the intellect can give us the distance we need to read what we have written and feel less afraid of it. It helps if we remember that no matter how dark or negative our thoughts or feelings may be, these are energies shared by all humanity. We are not alone in the dark, and all the gurus and teachers we admire had to go through their own unprocessed emotional territory in order to come out the other side brighter and wiser. This can give us the courage we need to open the treasure chest of what we have been avoiding.

Within the parts of ourselves that we don't want to look at, there are emotions that need to be felt. Unfelt emotions are stuck energy, and when we leave emotions unprocessed, we deprive ourselves of access to that energy. When we feel strong enough, we can begin the process of feeling those emotions, on our own or with guidance from a spiritual counselor. It is through this work that the buried treasure of energy and inspiration will pour forth from our hearts, giving us the courage to look at all the parts of ourselves with insight and compassion.

Message from Babaji...

Be aware. Be awake to what is going on around you. Don't be asleep.
Be an observer for Babaji. Watch everything with diligence.
AWAKE NOW. This is my message.

Most are asleep all the time. Most are like sheep led to slaughter.
Be a light unto yourself. Be strong.

Know that I have come to give. Only to give. Are you ready to receive?

I give everything. But few ask for the real thing I have come to give...

--Babaji

non-attachment




A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret and The Power

From The Secret Daily Teachings
There is a difference between feeling gratitude and appreciation for something, and feeling attachment to something. Appreciation and gratitude are states of pure love, while attachment contains fear - fear of losing or not having what you are attached to. When it comes to something you want in your life, appreciation and gratitude attracts, and attachment pushes away. If you are feeling afraid that you will not get what you want, or losing what you have, then you have attachment.
To remove the attachment, keep shifting yourself into a state of appreciation and gratitude, until you can feel that the fear has gone.

May the joy be with you,

(from www.babajispeaks.com Emails with Babaji Q&A)

June 30, 2000

"Blessings and love to you dear one,
I thank you for bringing your message of love, simplicity and truth.
How does one go about 'spiritualizing the flesh?'
Raising one's own vibrations to be at one with the God consciousness?
Love and light and service"

"Blessings:
You are a spiritual being having a human experience in a body that will perish.
The body may be cleansed and purified, but it is not a spirit.
And this is why it is temporary.
To show you what is real and what is unreal.

Babaji"

music




"It's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?"

- Wittgenstein, 1949



navaratri




Navaratri is a special time of year when Divine Mother makes Herself
available to us. In the Spring, we are requesting that the seeds we
plant will bring an abundant harvest. Whether we plant a physical
garden/field or not, we can certainly plant 'seed thoughts' and help
them grow. We give thanks for the the blessings upon our 'gardens' and
we resolve to focus upon the higher good for the future. The world is
awash in Blessings!!!

KALI: The first three days are devoted to Kali, the Goddess of
Destruction and Restoration, wife of Shiva; it is a time of
purification, a time to let go of all that is not "on purpose" for
your life. This is an opportunity for "cleaning out your closets" to
make way for new things.

Night and Day One:
Sailaputra - Daughter of the Himalayas

Sailaputra begins at Sunset, March 15 and ends at Sunset on
