The Miracle of Experience – Rupert Spira

Comment from Gerald McCreery2 weeks ago

understanding suffering is understanding what is wrong,. understanding what is wrong does not awaken what we want in life. this is based on the premise that we do not actually want to suffer but would rather be happy, studying suffering is like hitting yourself in the head in order to see how good it feels when it stops, awakening from a dream is being who you are and knowing that you are complete and awake and no longer can even entertain the idea of dreaming

Pema Chödrön With Dale Asrael

You are fundamentally open-minded, openhearted, worthy, and good. But maybe you’ve forgotten that. This weekend, through meditation, teachings, and dialogue (yup, you get to ask questions!), Pema Chödrön and Dale Asrael will help you remember your basic goodness.

I’ve been watching these live broadcasts of the eOmega.org weekend retreat and, of course, they’re wonderfully powerful. Pema just recommended this book to a questioner who is suffering with depression and found the audio version on YouTube.

Quote of the Day:

If freedom is your Heart’s desire, say YES to Truth without hesitation or compromise. Say to the Lord of the heart: Replace ‘me’ with You. Rid me of ego and merge my mind in You. If there is identity, replace this identity with Truth. Let there be only Oneness here. Dispel any arrogance, any ego and let me melt in You, beloved Lord of my Heart.This Yes is very, very powerful when it comes from the Heart itself. It comes from the Heart and goes straight to the Heart and sets off a time bomb in the earth-bound mind.This Yes without compromise is the divine Grace that comes to guide you back to your original innocence, to your timeless and limitless Being.~ Mooji 3rd of September, 2014
