today’s epiphany

ok .. so i went to bed at 7am this morning, rolled out again at 8pm this evening .. wondering how the hell i was gonna pay for 2 weeks rent in arrears & 2 weeks rent in advance tomorrow (loooong story) .. as if by divine providence, in that precise moment, my landlady rings while my headspace is spiralling out of control & leaves a message asking why i am behind (first time ever behind in rent, mind you) ..

i begin to wonder what transit i have been operating under lately ..

man, it’s true! you really do ‘get’ what you focus on .. the subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between a positive or a negative, so the universe just dishes it out how it sees fit – esp. if you don’t get specific enough about your desired manifestation!

i’m all sorted now so it’s all good – but i just happened to find this divine blurb by a guru swami of sorts that i wanted to share ..

in case you were wondering, i am not religious in anyway – i am a spiritualist, an eclectic esoteric .. i draw from various strands & traditions of thoughts & paths .. mixing & matching as i go .. there is no right or wrong way .. there just ‘is’ .. whatever resonates with me – i take what fits & ditch the rest .. no need to get so hung on dogma and semantics now ya hear ?

anyway, i just thought this kicked ass ..

Remember, if all religion including all holy books and places of worship disappeared from this earth, the sun will still rise from the east, birds will pick grains to feed their babies and your heart will still throb with love.

To realise you fully, who you are, what this journey of life is all about, is the only real path.

Anything else is just to distract you from your natural urge.

The vast knowledge which you have gathered from books, borrowed from philosophical studies, thoughts and imaginations, are of no meaning – as they are not yours. They are nothing to be proud of.

Only the ‘you’ in you is real; when you clean it from everything; you will find an ignorance – of who you are. It is the only ignorance which no one likes to be exposed and, by every means, has tried to bury. It is the only treasure you can be proud of, and it is yours.

When you reveal it, you will face your natural innocence, and then your experience of enlightenment is not far away. But enlightenment is still an experience and as long as you are there as the experiencer, your enlightenment is just part of your enlightened ego.

Go beyond it, have courage and dissolve, become yourself fully, you are like a vast ocean, don’t settle for being a drop. Attain the beyond, the ultimate void – which is real and which is – you.

go swami ‘whatever your name was again’ .. woohoo!

i thought it was a lovely gentle reminder that sometimes we get so caught up in our search for ‘meaning’ and finding that extra ’something’ in our lives when it should all be so simple – really .. SIMPLICITY FOLKS !!! it’s almost always often the safest bet sometimes …

yeh yeh – stop thinking of me as a bohemian tree-hugging hippy gypsy activist alright .. lol
