The Mind is like a Sewer Part II
The beauty of this
process
Hello dear readers,
my name is Alexis
Shaffer and the
beloved people of
this newspaper have
invited me to share
my experiences with
you.
The beauty of this
process is that it
is so simple, it
doesn't require any
effort and it is
available to all of
those who wish to
awaken to the great
abundance of Grace
direct from God.
Diksha is a transfer
of energy, a
phenomenon of Grace,
which creates an
opening through
which you can
experience the true
desires of your
heart: Love, God,
Joy, Peace, Healing…
directly and
completely.
You, your freedom
and your liberation
is what is most
important to me.
Some experiences
from people who have
received Diksha.
How can I even begin
to describe in words
what is happening in
me when it simply
just is... just
being... without
effort... it's
feeling that
lightness of just
being... feeling it
at the physical
level,
organically...
nothing has changed,
I haven't changed,
it's just that I NOW
am intensely just
being me... without
any effort, without
pain or attachments,
no wasting energy..
It’s so exquisitely
strange and yet
known, all at the
same time... for I
am my self... more
than ever NOW, just
me... Marcela
The bodily
sensations during
the laying of hands
and the immense
relaxation that
followed gave way to
a complete
restructuring of my
perception.
Suddenly, the fight
within me was
appeased! Years of
effort, searching
and suffering
(actually eons)
drifting away into a
fading memory. Not
only did all of that
continue over the
following days, but
it has become more
and more intense and
profound and has
overtaken every
aspect of my life...
thank you so much!
Joan Noguera
There is a light
that shines behind
every thing on
earth... behind all
of us... behind the
skies... behind the
Almighty... the
highest of the
heavens... that is
the light shining in
our hearts...
~Chandogya Upanishad
The Mind is like
a Sewer Part II
by Kiara Windrider
“The mind is like a
sewer. “We cover it
up with a golden
lid, but the stink
comes through
anyway. It fills the
entire house, but we
are so busy admiring
the golden lid that
we don’t perceive
it. We do not know
who we are. The lid
is composed of other
people’s concept of
ourselves, which is
the only way we know
to refer to
ourselves. We get
attached to these
images of
ourselves.”
We do not have to
get to the bottom of
our sewers. That is
the trauma of
perfection. If we
only see one of our
neurotic dramas all
the way through it
is enough. The grace
will come. Do not
make another
expectation about
how or when it
should happen.”
There is a
difference between
metaphysical
knowledge and
empirical
experience, We
metaphysically
create the ideal of
a ‘soul’, and create
immense conflict in
our minds the more
we try and live up
to this ideal image.
The bigger our image
of perfection, the
further away we find
ourselves, the
bigger the masks we
have to put on, and
the more conflict
and pain we suffer.
The longer we are on
a spiritual path the
more concepts we
have built up, and
the harder it is to
let go.
Empirical knowledge
is about being true
to yourself in your
experience of the
moment. The more
honest you are with
yourself, the more
you will see how the
unenlightened person
is built up of
masks, expectations,
and ideals, all of
it to cover up deep
insecurities and
self-reproach, core
loneliness, and loss
of soul. Start with
that, explore that.
The deeper you go
into this core of
ugliness, the less
you will feel the
need to fear it, and
the more you will
come out of your
conflict and
suffering.
Our mind is such a
little thing in the
vastness of
experience, I
realized. We hold on
to our little
thoughts when the
whole universe is
rushing by. We let
metaphysical
concepts choke us
when truth is so
very simple. An
enlightened person,
when he looks at a
tree, is simply
looking at a tree.
The unenlightened
person builds up
concepts about it,
like ah, he is in
cosmic communion, he
has become one with
the tree! There is
nothing to become.
Enlightenment is to
see reality as it
already is.
“Sometimes we go
about pitying
ourselves,” goes an
ancient Ojibway
saying,
“And all the time we
are being carried on
great big winds
across the sky.”
