A Spiritual Diary

[Caren]

Hello Kriya,
This is a lovely thread, thank you. I have a little white dog identical to the one in your post, and he is a joy!

[kriya]

Thank you Celine for reminding us about forgiveness. Its at the heart of spirtuality. It is also a major aspect of God consciousness.

Cheers also Caren, welcome, and thanks for dropping by. Feel free to add anything that might bring inspiration.

Love,

Kriya

To me spirituality is the key to unlocking all the great mysteries of our time.I have been a UFO researcher for 10 plus years and it was not until I got in touch with my spiritual self that was able to see the truths that were right in front of my face the whole time. A man named Tommy Hawksblood one of the few real spiritual people on this planet showed me this way.

Find a place to sit, inside or outside.
1. Close your eyes and relax.
2. Breathe in deeply through your nose.
3. Feel the air fill your stomach.
4. Exhale slowly your mouth slowly.
5. Chant or sing a sound like HUM.
6. Create the doorway or image in your third
eye.
7. Know that Spirit will protect you.
8. Allow twenty minutes.
9. Write down any feelings or thoughts when
you are done.
10. Do it the same time everyday.
11. Know that spirit will be waiting.
12. Be honest to yourself and spirit.
13. Know that in forty days you will have an
experience.
14. Know that this is the key to all the worlds
of God.
15. We all need this experience to truly
understand God.
16. If something does not feel right change it.
17. You can challenge anything during the
exercise in the name of God if it doesn’t
feel right

Hello Mike,

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for your contribution. Everyones on a spiritual path, but some have just forgotten, IMHO.

Tommy Hawksblood sounds cool, I will check him out. You can definitely have direct experience of God through meditation. And if you want to truly know the Cosmic Beloved its the way to go.

Love,

Kriya

Ha ha thanks Dan for the video.....although who the guy on the bottom left is I have no idea.

Yes kriya yoga is my path in life and all the Gurus are there, Yogananda, Babaji, Sri Yuteswar, Lahiri Mahaysaya Christ and Krishna. But the guy on the left, God only knows who he is???

Definitely not part of SRF or Yogoda Satsanga.

There is no better meditation group than me/you and all these masters (except the mystery guy, lol)

Cheers Dan,

Love,

Kriya

From Sri Ramana Gita, chapter 5, verses 13-17: Sri Ramana Bhagavan

13. It is said that the heart is in the microcosm just as the orb of the sun is in the macrocosm. The mind in Sahasrara is like the disc of the moon.

14. Just as the sun gives light to the moon this heart bestows the effulgence on the mind.

15. As in the night when the sun is not present, one sees the light in the moon, the man who is not present in the heart, sees merely the mind.

16. Without seeing the origin of light, the true origin of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.

17. The Jnanin present in the heart sees the mind merged in the light of the heart, like the moonlight in the presence of the sun during the day

SAMADHI


Vanished the veils of light and shade,
Lifted every vapor of sorrow,
Sailed away all dawns of fleeting joy,
Gone the dim sensory mirage.
Love, hate, health, disease, life, death,
Perished these false shadows on the screen of duality.
Waves of laughter, scyllas of sarcasm, melancholic whirlpools,
Melting in the vast sea of bliss.
The storm of maya stilled
By magic wand of intuition deep.
The universe, forgotten dream, subconsciously lurks,
Ready to invade my newly wakened memory divine.
I live without the cosmic shadow,
But it is not, bereft of me;
As the sea exists without the waves,
But they breathe not without the sea.
Dreams, wakings, states of deep turiya sleep,
Present, past, future, no more for me,
But ever-present, all-flowing I, I, everywhere.
Planets, stars, stardust, earth,
Volcanic bursts of doomsday cataclysms,
Creation's molding furnace,
Glaciers of silent x-rays, burning electron floods,
Thoughts of all men, past, present, to come,
Every blade of grass, myself, mankind,
Each particle of universal dust,
Anger, greed, good, bad, salvation, lust,
I swallowed, transmuted all
Into a vast ocean of blood of my own one Being!
Smoldering joy, oft-puffed by meditation
Blinding my tearful eyes,
Burst into immortal flames of bliss,
Consumed my tears, my frame, my all.
Thou art I, I am Thou,
Knowing, Knower, Known, as One!
Tranquilled, unbroken thrill, eternally living, ever new peace!
Enjoyable beyond imagination of expectancy, samadhi bliss!
Not a mental chloroform
Or unconscious state without wilful return,
Samadhi but extends my conscious realm
Beyond the limits of the mortal frame
To farthest boundary of eternity
Where I, the Cosmic Sea,
Watch the little ego floating in me.
The sparrow, each grain of sand, fall not without my sight.
All space like an iceberg floats within my mental sea.
Colossal Container, I, of all things made.
By deeper, longer, thirsty, guru-given meditation
Comes this celestial samadhi
Mobile murmurs of atoms are heard,
The dark earth, mountains, vales, lo! molten liquid!
Flowing seas change into vapors of nebulae!
Aum blows upon the vapors, opening wondrously their veils,
Oceans stand revealed, shining electrons,
Till, at last sound of the cosmic drum,
Vanish the grosser lights into eternal rays
Of all-pervading bliss.
From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt.
Ocean of mind, I drink all creation's waves.
Four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light,
Lift aright.
Myself, in everything, enters the Great Myself.
Gone forever, fitful, flickering shadows of mortal memory.
Spotless is my mental sky, below, ahead, and high above.
Eternity and I, one united ray.
A tiny bubble of laughter, I
Am become the Sea of Mirth Itself

By Paramahansa Yogananda
