The love of great spiritual figures in history was Love that was untarnished, free from all caprice. How was such love untarnished?  Through rendering services, maintainng the sentiment of serving the person served for his/her comfort and well-being. Selfless service.
 
The more a person works with feelings of detachment, the greater will be their Godward speed and that more the `I' feeling will be dissolved.  This approach is easily possible between any persons who care for each other as well as persons who simply wish to render services to the society, eg Mother Theresa
 
'I' feeling is simply drenched when the divine feeling is acquired. The detached actions are the struggle with the unit self and the attainment of Universal `I'. The Unit `I' goes on abating in proportion to the lessening of the individual desire for attachment and in the very proportion the mind's sphere gets enlightened by the refulgence of the Universal Self. That is the path of action without attachment. It is not a rejection of anything - it is simply a way of seeing in that process the vibration one contends with both as sender and to the receiver is not to want the 'love' of another but to serve the person as an expression of the Divine.  Indeed to want can lead to lust and envy which distorts the mind, creates reactions and is not a positive flow.

Do not change your staring. Go on staring and within 2-3 days you will 
notice a very strange phenomenon. Your face will begin to take new shapes. 
The face in the mirror will begin to change. Sometime a totally different 
face will be seen nowhere similar to the one that you know.
 
>> I have a computer program that does this better - only costs me $5 - Its called MORPH studio.
 
All these faces are yours. The subconscious mind is beginning to explode.
 
>> Yep and my program crashed after 3 days when the face changes got too much for it.
 
These faces, these masks are yours, sometimes from your past lifes.
 
>> I always though morphing programs were about future lives so that moles and things like that could be removed from real photographs :)
 
After one week of so your face will be in flux, just a film like flux, 
constantly changing.You will not be able to remember which is your own face 
because you have seen so many come and go.
 
>> "Instant Karma's going to get you" -> John Lennon (singing about heroin withdrawal symptons).
 
If you continue for at least 3 weeks, then one day there will be no face in 
the mirror.the mirro is vacant and you are staring at emptiness. There is 
no face at all. You will be naked as you are, all deceptions fallen. 
At that moment close your eyes and encounter THAT.

> Dieter>........ As the efficient cause Purusa is the primary factor and Prakrti is the secondary one.
 
Anandajyoti> Purusha and Prakriti both being beyond space-time or the field of relativity, there is no primary and/or secondary.
 
[>]  Beg to differ here because without the permission of the supreme Purusa the universe could not have been evolved. Therefore, Prakrti is the secondary Shakti, Purusa is he chief Shakti.  Prakrti or Energy cannot be the primary cause of this manifest universe because by analogy the light is lit by electrical energy. The fan too moves electrically. But this electrical energy is controlled and harnessed by human beings and there is a switch for it too. If a human being does not want any electric light, s/he just switches it off and there is no light. The manifestation or unmanifestation of electrical energy depends on the human will. The power (Shakti) of Prakrti is likewise of the Purusa. 
 
Anandajyoti> Purusha and Prakriti , both are eternal, two sides of the same principle, explained through the words for understanding and comprehensiononly.
 
[>]  Indeed but the switch was thrown - albeit it that its beginning cannot be found.
 
Anandajyoti> Purusha is the Witness not the doer. Prakriti is not subordinate, it is the dynamic power of the Purusha.
 
[>]  Prakrti poses as the doer.  Similarly Nature is also not the original authority or doer-entity, but is the dynamic waves of the centrifugal and centripetal movements (Saincara - extroversial creative force and Pratisaincara - introversial force back to the source) of Prakrti. 
 
Prakrti is an entity which is doing something, but it cannot be the material cause or the efficient cause because in the actional faculty of Prakrti there is no scope for any principle of cohesiveness. Shakti or energy itself is a blind force -- if it is not supported by Intellect or the Authority to Do. Suppose an electric hammer is being operated, and a child accidentally inserts its tender hand under the hammer. The hammer will automatically smash the hand - its blind force will not spare the innocent child's hand. Hence the force of Prakrti divorced from the touch of Purusa (consciousness) is highly dangerous. That Cognitive Principle itself is both the material cause and the efficient cause of creation. In the flow of creation the Cognitive Principle is also inseparably associated with the Creative Force. 
 
>   Dieter>    The role of Purusa is foremost in all spheres. Prakrti only acts to whatever extent the Purusa has authorised or authorises her to act. In the process of evolution the Purusa gives Prakrti the authority to work and she goes on working.
 
Anandajyoti> Purusha does not command or authorize, nor does the Prakriti follow or work  according to Purusha , as you mention.
 
[>]  See reasoning above.  Authority is in the sense of cohesiveness.  If that were not so Prakriti is a mere blind force and by that reasoning (ie acceptance of Prakrti purely as a blind force not subject to anything) the entire theory of cause and effect would also fall apart.

This is my feeling too.  Nothing wrong with noticing others' feelings, but 
let it pass on and through you, rather than absorbing it per se.  Why keep 
it?  I don't believe holding onto other peoples' pain (emotional or 
spiritual) helps them or you.  If you "take on" their "stuff," you might be 
depriving them of something they actually wanted or needed to experience in 
this lifetime.  Rather than absorb or take on that energy, then, I prefer to 
send them the ki to help them deal with it.  Not "my" ki, but the universal 
ki; with Reiki, it flows through me, but it's not mine.  It's a lot like a 
garden hose watering the garden.  However, this is not a technique that is 
limited to Reiki.  I've seen similar healing thoughts described in other 
healing traditions.

Dieter,
 
Do you intellectualize and judge because it's too scary to feel and 
experience?
 
I ask you this because I know this state of mind intimately.  And if you 
are there now, and I think you are, then I suspect you will respond as I 
would have, by rationalizing.  Am I wrong?

Greetings from the mountain top of the Sacred Wind!
 
There are many events taking place in each of our lives moment by 
moment.  We are constantly challenged to discern that which is important 
from that which is not so important,  that which is 'real' from that 
which is not so 'real'.  Of course, that is our purpose for being where 
we are, to learn discernment as we awaken to 'eternal realities' and let 
the 'temporal or assumed realities' slowly fade into the sunset of 
experience.  The Lessons this week offer some isights into the process 
of awakening, oberving, seeing, experienceing, all of which lead to 
'knowing'.  As you set aside old paradigms and dogmas and let awareness 
of the 'whole' or of 'Oneness' become your focus, the sun seems to shine 
brighter, relationships with your 'self' become more intense and in 
depth, and relationships with other souls become more aligned in 
harmony, balance, truth and unity.  
 
What a journey we are on!  'I' wouldn't miss it for anything!  Happy 
journey!
 
Blessings of Love and Light,
 
John and Cheryl

WHAT REALLY MATTERS? 
   
There is always a question that is, as you might say, on the 
tip  of  one's  spiritual tongue, a question that  is  often 
unasked  but always present.  There is always a question  as 
to  what  really matters.  As a soul progresses through  the 
earthly  experience, there are many activities, many  points 
of attachment, many points of reaction, many structures that 
are  built  from mental and intellectual imagery,  and  from 
emotional  response  and  conditioning.   There   are   many 
patterns  of behavior that become embroiled in the whirlwind 
of reactive conditions within the earthly experience.  There 
are  many physical appetites which become a dominant  motive 
for existence.
 
Underlying all of these externalized conditions is the often 
unasked  but  most important question, what really  matters? 
If one were to look into the mirror of life and were able to 
reflect  on that which has had sustaining value,  which  has 
the  essence of eternal realities, one would see  that  much 
that one experiences is of only passing significance in that 
each  experience allows the doorway to inner  realities,  to 
inner  eternal  realities to be opened  ever  wider  if  one 
reflects  on  and  sees the underlying  purpose,  underlying 
meaning of each and every step along the way.
 
Ultimately  the  answer  to what really  matters  is  rather 
simple.   The pathway to find the answer however  is  rather 
convoluted  and  one  that  meanders  through  a  myriad  of 
conditions, projected concepts, reactionary modes,  and very 
strongly held opinions and dogmas.  There is much that needs 
to  be  released  as  the pathway is  walked.   What  really 
matters?  If  one retreats from all that is externalized and 
goes into the inner sanctuary of soul realities, there is  a 
clarity  of vision that emerges.  In this clarity of  vision 
one sees the underlying foundation, the connectedness of all 
things, the Oneness of all that exists.
 
>From  the perspective of soul realities, one discovers  that 
there are eternal realities that are the foundation for  all 
existence.   These are called the Attributes  of  the  Soul. 
When  combined,  they equate to the pure statement  of  soul 
consciousness radiating the Love and Light of creation.
 
So  what really matters?  It is a question that needs to  be 
asked  consciously for as the question is asked, that  which 
really matters begins to emerge from the depths of the inner 
sanctuary.   That which does not matter begins to  dissipate 
and   to   disappear  as  the  rising  fog  of  externalized 
perceptions dissipates.  The clarity of vision, the  clarity 
of  purpose,  the  clarity  of  existence  emerges  as  soul 
realities   are  brought  into  focus.   You  are   a   soul 
progressing  through  a  series  of  externalized,   created 
conditions  that have but one purpose and that is  to  bring 
you  ever  closer, step by step, to the reality of  who  you 
are.   You  are Creation in action.  You are that  which  is 
called I AM.  I AM the Love and Light of the universe.
 
What  really matters?  The pathway is clear.  That which  is 
to be revealed is waiting.  Discover what really matters and 
let go of all that no longer has any significance or hold on 
your perceptions.  What really matters?  You are who you are 
embraced  in  the  totality of the Love  and  Light  of  the 
universe.
 
You are I AM, the Love, Light, and Life of Creation.

 WHAT DO YOU SEE? 
   
   
We  come  into  this very special place, this  very  special 
inner  sanctuary  where  there  is  perfect  peace,  perfect 
harmony.  We come into this place in a moment's notice.   We 
come  into  the consciousness of this place in the twinkling 
of an eye.  We are always connected to the process unfolding 
as  the  individualized point of consciousness is  searching 
for  the  whole,  for  we are the whole  that  is  emanating 
through individualized expressions of consciousness.  It  is 
all  a  matter of perception.  It is a matter of  observing, 
feeling,  and  seeing  not that which is  the  reactive  and 
reflective  pattern of that being observed, but seeing  what 
is  behind  the pattern, what is the meaning,  what  is  the 
purpose.   What  are the points of connection  between  that 
which is being seen and that which is the whole?  It is  all 
a matter of perspective.
 
In  your physical world when you see a tree, do you see  the 
leaves  and say what pretty color?  Do you see the bark  and 
say how smooth it is, or perhaps  how rough and scratchy  it 
is?   Do  you  see  beyond  those  externalized,  reflective 
concepts?   Do  you see the energy pattern that  has  formed 
this  thing  called  a tree, the energy that  flows  up  and 
through every cell, every limb, and every leaf of that tree? 
Do  you  see  the  energy  flowing into  and  through  every 
cellular structure as the sun and the rain penetrate,  wash, 
and energize this tree?  Do you see the connecting root that 
carries  the life force up, through, into, and then  out  of 
the  tree?   There is so much more to see, to know,  and  to 
feel  about that tree than simply the pretty leaves and  the 
interesting bark.
 
When   you  see  another  soul  embodied  in  your   earthly 
experience,  what  do you see?  Do you see the  externalized 
clothing  and say how pretty?  Do you reflect and  react  to 
that which is observed in the physical body?  Do you see the 
face  and the hair and do you then make a judgment  on  what 
you  are seeing and say this is beautiful or this is not  so 
beautiful?  Do you read or hear what another soul writes  or 
says  and  judge what you observe based on worldly  and  ego 
patterns of reaction?  There is so much more to see for  the 
physical   vehicle  is  simply  that  --   a   vehicle   for 
transporting  the soul through a period of manifestation  as 
the soul experiences, learns, and remembers.
 
So  when you look at an embodied soul, do you see the  soul? 
Do  you see the energy pattern that is striving to find  the 
point of perfect harmony, perfect balance, perfect wholeness 
in  consciousness with all existence?  Do you see  the  soul 
going  through  the  lesson plan that  has  been  created  - 
learning,  understanding, expanding,  sharing?   Or  do  you 
simply  react  and reflect on the externalized  observations 
and  keep  such  observations in the realm of emotional  and 
intellectual reactions?
 
You  see,  there  is so much more than what meets  the  eye. 
This  same  pattern of observation is true  throughout  your 
existence.  As you look into and feel the energy patterns of 
your  environment wherever you are, do you look beyond  what 
is  being  reacted to or responded to in the physical  realm 
and  feel  the essence of the flow of energy,  the  flow  of 
spirit,  the flow of Love, Light, and Sound that  surrounds, 
permeates, and penetrates all existence?  There is  so  much 
more  to  experience  and  more  to  align  with  than   the 
reflective, reactive portion of that being observed.
 
As  we  have given, the soul is individualized only  to  the 
extent  that  it  sees  its existence as  being  unique  and 
individualized.   In reality all is One.  From  the  earthly 
perspective,  when  we  say  that souls  are  individualized 
points  of  consciousness looking  for  the  whole,  we  are 
guiding  the movement toward understanding that all  is  One 
and,  in  Oneness,  it  is the consciousness  of  the  whole 
expressing,  uniting, and participating in creation  through 
points of consciousness.  It is all a matter of perspective.
 
Feel the truth of what we offer.  Know the truth of who  you 
are  and  as you observe, see, and feel the omni-dimensional 
presentations  that  are  being made  and  will  become  the 
pattern of interaction and observation, know that all points 
of  consciousness  along the continuum of  existence  within 
this  omni-dimensional universe are all part of  the  whole. 
All is One.  It is simply a matter of perspective.
 
There  are many questions that have been pondered  by  those 
who  have looked beyond the leaves and the bark of the tree, 
questions that have asked: What is the Source?  How does  it 
all  connect?  What is the underlying foundation?  There are 
many  questions such as these that are being answered moment 
by  moment.  All of these questions will be answered as  the 
evolution  of  awareness accelerates and as  all  souls  are 
brought  into  the full awareness of who and why  they  are. 
This is a time when such awareness is being made manifest.
 
You are I AM the Love, Light, and Life of the universe.

I've enjoyed your posts. I can understand (it seems) exactly) what you are 
experiencing when you "pick up" negative energy and/or have a headache or 
backache  via some else's energy.  You seem to be very empathic.
 
I am also writing about your post concerning your book you are writing. I 
would be interested in more information.... it sounds like it can provide in 
guidance what a lot of us, me, needs.
 
I have been experiencing Kundaini energy for quite some time. It would be

Dear Anandajyoti;
 
<<If we say God is Love, and we are made in His image, then in my 
understanding would not Love be the be all and end all of all.?>>
 
Well, that's my conclusion, but I don't arrive at it in the same way.  I 
think love is the most important thing we do, I think it's the force that 
binds things together down to the most fundamental level.  I don't think of 
core self as being "made" though; I think it has always had existence in one 
form or other.
 
<<No I would not say that, because each one of us  begin our spiritual or 
even our phenomenal journey in life , from where we are at a level of 
consciousness, with all the contents of our subconscious. It is an 
established fact that contents of our individual subconscious are not the 
same in all people.>>
 
Sorry, I misunderstood.  The idea of a screen allows for the extrapolation 
that selfs are unchanging.  
 
<< You wrote>"Reloading" is analogous with rebirth?  "Stashes it away," a 
version

Well, I was trying paricularly to find out what you meant.  I'm not trying to 
be contrary; I really just don't know.
 
<<It does confuse us when we take metaphors, strictly in the literal sense.>>
 
But this is part of determining a metaphor's utility.
 
<<The screen here is only representative of the idea , that the SELF  does 
not change, and it is the substratum on which our experiences, changing all 
the time, goes on.>>
 
So selfs are unchanging and individuals' subconscious and conscious minds 
account for the differences in what we are??
 
I found Luthar's point below more digestible (because it's simpler).
 
<<The whole notion of detachment is predicated on the assumption that there 
is something to be detached from. This undermines the notion of non-duality. 
If dualism is sought to be rejected as a philosophy, it only reinforces 
dualism. In order to reject something, there must be the rejecter and that 
which is rejected. But if one can 
remain silent and still, all concepts vanish and reality is experienced as it 
is. It is only the inner core of your being.>>
 
And I won't paint the lily here. :)

Sorry if this seems off the subject of k, but I am not sure where to 
find info about this experience: 
Often over the years I have seen what looks like an older man with 
possibly a long grey/white bushy beard who appears just to the left and 
behind me, if I turn to catch a better glimps of him he disapears. He 
never says anything but it is very comforting to have him there, I have 
made note of his presence when others are around and try not to look at 
him while they try to see what is there but nobody else sees anything. I 
think of him as a protector, today I saw him and he "protected" me 
again. 
I was driving the car, it has been one of those rainy days when its 
really rainny then the sun gets real bright between rainstorms, a 
rainbow kind of day. I noticed that this presence was in the back seat 
behind me. I made note of it and wondered what his purpose was. Maybe 3 
minutes passed as I kept driving along, then without my even thinking - 
I slammed on the brake. I was stunned and shocked, I looked up and a boy 
of about 15 walked in front of my car. I had not seen him!! For just one 
moment the suns glare had hidden the boy from me. Had I not braked when 
I did I would most definitly have hit the child.  
I pulled to the side of the road to gather my thoughts. Then remembered 
my "protector" he was not there anylonger.  
You can beleive I thanked him however. 
Does anyone have knowlege of such "protectors"? If so, I would be 
interested in knowing more about them.

Anandajyoti> Thanks for that understanding. I did not feel that you were 
contrary.My apologies, if I came  through to you in that way.Even after all these 
years, I still feel that  I know, but at the same time I also  know that, how 
much I don't know.
