OUR LIGHT

wardencliffe“It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world!
Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer’s keen searching sense.
But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention, instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the strife of commercial existence.
So do we get Our Light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”

~ Nikola Tesla, Problem of Increasing Human Energy ~

JUST BE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING

JUST BE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING.  WE LIVE ON AN ISOLATED PLANET FAR FROM OUR HOME.  IT FLOATS IN AN EVER-EXPANDING, NEARLY INFINITE UNIVERSE MADE ENTIRELY OF BRUTAL FORCES OF WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE  PERCEPTION, AND OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL.  IT IS DEVOID OF COMPASSION, WITH NO PURPOSE OR MEANING EXCEPT THE QUALITIES WE ASSIGN TO IT.  WE ARE  ENTRAPPED IN AN ETERNAL NOW OF MUTUALLY CREATED MYOPIC ILLUSIONS  WE CALL “REALITY”.  THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS CHANGE. ONE CAN OBSERVE CHANGE WITHOUT BECOMING THE CHANGE.  JUST BE.

A FORM OF MEDITATION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Last year I read many books about Eastern philosophies and spiritual practices, including the Autobiography of a Yogi, written by the great spiritual teacher from India, Paramahansa Yogananda.  I do not practice Yoga, or meditation, per se,  nor do I ascribe to any organized spiritual methods or organizations.  I am following my own path of reading, communicating and seeking to remember Who I Really Am as an immortal spiritual entity.  I suppose I could call my form of meditation:   “looking, communicating, understanding and loving”.  I practice my “meditation” continually, at least to the degree that I am willing to discipline myself to attain awareness and ability above the extremely limited perceptions imposed by animating an aging biological body on Earth.

I do not “believe in god” or have a membership card in a group of followers.  However, I am inspired and emboldened by beings who know themselves as the source of life energy, of love, wisdom, and of creation of realities for themselves and of universes.  As part of my continuing journey I am reading a book and Blog by a fellow traveler, Pam Grout.  Here is a compilation video she recommended about Russell Brand.  His enthusiastic advocacy of wisdom, and egalitarian love, through self-realization reminds me very much of Yogananda.  This video recommended by Pam Grout in her Blog ( http://pamgrout.com/ )
