is to heal the perceived divide
between what is considered spiritual
and what is considered "of the world."
Our journey into and through our duality
helps us to experience material things
and Earth-life in a fairly "logical" way, yet
the essence of the paradigm shift which
we are yearning for, and now in the birth-pangs of,
is to bring duality and
the experience-of-Oneness
i.e. our Divinity or
our Connection to, and Beingness in, All-That-Is,
back together.
For me, this bringing-back-together
is the cornerstone of Ascension;
- the being-experienced-in-living "different" multiverses,
"different" levels of life all at the same time,
in increasing comfort and ease,
and in mutual acceptance, love and support,
in ways that "work practically" on the Earth!
This coming-back-together is not just about
increasing awareness and connection on the "inside"
by joining what may appear to be "opposites" -
It is also about committing to a deep spiritual path
which one can have the courage to "stick with"
whilst welcoming without judgment
the diverse expressions of others
as the Divine meeting us in our brothers and sisters.
The challenges of living a spiritual path whilst
allowing oneself to be in tune with new awareness
are discussed compassionately by Ken Wilber
and Br. Wayne Teasdale in this YouTube video.
Deep wisdom!
I came across Anakha Coman
- a former US executive in the corporate world -
who writes a blog about, and has released
a number of videos on, really living Embodied Spirituality.
This video, released last year not long before the US election,
is a good introduction to her thought-world.
I found myself resonating strongly.
I notice that Daniel Odier,
a very integrated western tantra teacher from France,
is one of her inspirations.
Among Odier's books are Yoga Spandakarika*
(The Sacred Texts at the Origins of Tantra)
and The Tantric Path to Awakening.
In this seeming maze, there are new
and ancient realizations waiting to be born again!
