Guiding Thought

When I am aware of my own consciousness as Perfect Love, I am aware of everything as Love, and of Love as everything. In this state of awareness, I create naturally and easily in unison with Perfect Love, with all of existence.

Reflection

I have to tell you something. I have not “gone public” with this information until now, though I’ve told my family members who I don’t see regularly. It feels like a coming out, with the bit of nervous tension, the wondering how you will respond, wondering if you will still like me, or be my friend after you have this information…here it is: I shaved my head.

That was exactly a month ago, today, and Tam has been shaving it every third day for me. I’ll continue this practice for 9 months.

I had a ceremony called a mundan ceremony, which is traditional in the Indian (Hindu) culture for young children. In the Hindu tradition, it is all about releasing karma, and starting this life with a clean slate. As an American who came to the practice of the Sanatana Dharma as an adult, I had never had the opportunity to have such a ceremony as a young child.

However, the practice remains a powerful tool for releasing karma, and letting go of feelings and impressions that hinder Love, at any time of life. The mundan ceremony was given to me, you may say as a gift, to propel me further along my path of opening my heart and my life to the Divine. In my ceremony, the intention was karmic release, plus a clear intention to dedicate my life force to the Divine, that the Divine might enter the world to love and serve all life.

During this Journey of Creation, I have mentioned several times about the very physical changes that are taking place in my life. Since I did this on (I think it was ) day two or three of this Journey, I do not know which has had greater sway in the changes going on: the Journey or the mundan.

But I can tell you, it’s as though the changes being made are laying a foundation for more positive growth in my life.

I am letting go of things that have been weighing me down, and I am increasing the things that bring love and light into my life, into this world. Sometimes I need to shake things up, so the pieces re-settle in a new, higher order.

Yes, I have felt some chaos of transition (which I have written about here and here). Yes, I have felt unsettled and uncomfortable. Yes, sometimes I don’t know what the heck is going on, or what to expect. Yes, I have done some things out of character (shave my head!… oh, no, wait…that’s not really so out of character…).

Yes, I am very happy to know that my life is changing and shifting, and getting me to my next (bigger) step.

Life is working with me! YAY.

So, today, this is all relevant because this:

When I am aware of my own consciousness as Perfect Love, I am aware of everything as Love, and of Love as everything. In this state of awareness, I create naturally and easily in unison with Perfect Love, with all of existence.

feels so right. So perfect. So on.

No, I don’t feel yet like I am there; I don’t feel like I am creating naturally and easily, in unison with Perfect Love;  I don’t feel like I have it.

But I do feel like it’s attainable. I feel like the work I have been doing has been leading me and helping me build (create) what’s next. Can you feel the exuberance? Do you know what it means to “see the light at the end of the tunnel”, or be this close to being done?

I feel like the Guiding thought is True, and that I am close to it. I feel like hurdles have been leapt, that rivers have been crossed, that treacherous terrain has been surmounted, and I can see the plateau, with the golden fields of wheat and cool, running streams just up there, close enough that I will make it and find peace and solace until my next trek.

Who am I kidding? I am always trekking, there is no “next”. Life is the trek.
