Book Review: To Kiss What Cannot Be Kissed

Book Review: To Kiss What Cannot Be Kissed

Book Review:  To Kiss What Cannot Be Kissed… –  Love songs from the Canyon by Nancy Neithercut

Shaktipat Love Songs !

I met Nancy a few years ago in Facebook and have been reading her posts since then. As soon as I heard Nancy wrote a book, I ordered it and started reading. I read the introduction, which appealed to my left-brain and then I read:

“And can you read all these words without trying…

Basking in the Sun Visualization

Background

On December 3, 2005, I had a dream about old men in wheelbarrows in a park setting. I was walking towards a park, and there ahead over some water and a bridge I could see tables and chairs. I started walking towards the bridge. While on the bridge entering the park or just after going over it, I saw clearer that there was an old man who looked like Santa Claus, lying naked in a…

How to Heal the Defense System of the Personality

Help for Spiritual Emergency, Spiritual Crisis, Dark Night of the Soul & Kundalini Syndrome

I theorize that ‘mental health problems’ of all kinds arise for many in the awakening process which can happen before or after a major awakening event. When it pops up suddenly, I think it is very likely due to an awakening that is happening in the individual rather than being a psychosis. A ‘mental…

Emptiness, The Missing Piece

Last night I wrote these words: I feel I have all the essential wisdom that makes up reality, self, truth, etc, but it’s like they are separate facts and it feels I still need to See Something that is missing. And once that is seen or grokked all these pieces will come together into a conclusive unified whole or answer. I don’t want to read any more wise words and I can’t think of any more…

We Are the Dream

This morning coming across Nancy Neithercut’s words on a printed page: “We are the dream from which we imagine we can escape or transcend. The deeply integrated apprehension of that is the awakening.” I get the feeling this is what I don’t want to confront, there totally is no self and the only sense of I-ness is this dreamed character as perception and appearance. Logically, there cannot be any…

Personal Tsunami

Personal Tsunami

It wasn’t until today, that the clarity came. That all this cognition the days before came from the Doubting Betsy, the story-teller herself and it was all ego occupation and concerns. Then I saw what I was still holding onto and it was “my story”.

The questions arose: Do I need to choose, is there free will, do I create what I focus on? Does it happen effortlessly, with idea,…

The Doubting Betsy

The Doubting Betsy

September 5, 2016: It’s Labor Day and it has been a period of being filled with doubts that I am aware and that a shift is happening to my consciousness. I don’t know what it is that I could possibly not know at this time. I realize there is nothing I can do, as there is no doer or separate self. I realize any notion I can do something or trying to do something will only…

Swallowed by the Sea

Swallowed by the Sea

It is such a huge relief to have the well worn program I’ve created and reinforced for all these years “of seeking” and feeling I need to do something to awaken, to read something, to get a new insight, to do some practice, to figure something out — now dissolving. No doubt, my desire to awaken has been all consuming and taken the majority of my energy for 17 years and now…

Navigating Without A Compass

Navigating Without A Compass

Those questions that I posted about yesterday, I can see what it is about today. A few days ago I had this feeling like I did when I had an awakening in 1999, The song “Once in a Lifetime” from the Talking Heads comes to mind today as it did back then:

“And you may find yourself Living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself In another part of the world And you…

Is There a Soul?

Is There a Soul?

Wondering … What is the benefit of enlightenment?

What if one underwent the shift and without being able to share that with even one person and the next day one died in a car crash. Would that be helpful for collective consciousness or for others to achieve enlightenment or for one’s own soul journey? Or is it only helpful to help other beings ‘see the light’ in one’s momentary…

I Am Aware

I Am Aware

I had decided to enter into a discussion group with some realized people and have a live chat and see if I could clarify my understanding, my basic idea was this:

“Having had a few glimpses that “your face is my face” and “my face is yours”, I learned to be open to others expressions. Instead of feeling the other was attacking with their response, it was turning into the question:…

Poem: There is No Separation

Poem: There is No Separation

There is No Separation

I am no-thing! I am every-thing! How can something be no-thing & every-thing?

The two cancel each other out, melting notions of separation, leaving perception of undivided whole.

And … Oh My! I am perfect just how I am! And everything is perfect just how it is without separation, it can’t be otherwise.

Becoming & Being

I came across the book: “Psychology of the Esoteric” by Osho in my Free Book Library near my house the other day and have been reading. I get some good insights from it each day. Today the article was “Becoming & Being“.  Quotes are from the first page of the article with my comments in between.

“The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to be something; no one is at…

You Must Come Back to The Source

You Must Come Back to The Source

    The message in MoojiJi’s video was exactly what I needed to hear today.  What struck a chord were these statements:

 “All this beauty is always here and the reason we don’t see it is because we are not interested in it.”

 “Once we find a greater fascination, the fact that our self is always constantly present, not growing, it’s…
