It is very true that spiritual journey, new age movement and even psychic development is reaching a point that anyone can become a teacher or guru once they master a certain skill. Almost always people seek external teachings and experiences to validate inner spirit everyone has. It is ok to learn techniques and tools from others when searching for a spiritual experience, but thats exactly the message that many ancient teachers and sages have said over millenias and that is : Spiritual enlightenment is a personal and individual journey that works in conjunction with divine timing. The book The Calling by Rasha has great insight into being aware and cautious about giving one's divine power to others to lead one into spiritual awareness. Great post. Hello,

You are correct that only through direct experience can truth shine clearly, and to find oneself there requires both fidelity and grace. When all efforts to find it are exhausted, somehow truth finds its way to us, nearly always unexpectedly. And yet also when it does happen to appear, we can see that it was never away from us.

To exist purely in the moment and drop the pursuit is to really become the conduit for truth to pour through you, to light your being with it's grace. However, it's fleeting, at least for me, to reside there. Direct experience is what needs to build, at least for me, so that truth is not only understood intellectually but lived fully through my own particular form, the pattern of person that I have the blessing of driving around here in this particular spin around the wheel. So I am ardently concentrate on awakening from the delusions and fully embracing the whole, pulsing truth, so I can stop the endless turning and returning. Thanks for helping me to elucidate these thoughts, with your inspiring musings. Love, Stacy Dear Mike,

]]> Comment on What Is Letting Go? by sinrevelar http://www.silentmusings.com/2009/07/what-is-letting-go/#comment-111 sinrevelar Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:15:34 +0000 http://www.silentmusings.com/?p=647#comment-111 Totally agree with Raquel. Words are awfully limiting: what means to someone, means different to another; yet there's a point in every writing done. Letting go is a huge deal I face every time I fight with myself, and it's also a huge piece of advice: I've noticed it in about 5 different movies (drama, tragedy, children movies...) in which the main character, in order to achieve his goal, must let go, just let go. In the end I've come to realize that letting go is more than just "abandon" or "let go" any pursue of ours to the Divine Will; but also, to forget about oneself, to let go of oneself.

Thus, if I'd accept it for what it is, and if I could add ANY value to it, I'd multiply its worth by Infinity. I'd make Value out of No-value. Now wouldn't that be a real sweet deal? Seems impossible though. That would be true Alchemy, right? :D Thanks for da laugh Mike. Peace and blessings to you. 2Da1 Your No Results™ package as it is, seems absolutely worthless to me.
