-spirituality is beyond imagination-

                                       The Shadow of Darkness

As human beings, do we ever just look at each other without projecting our own fears, desires, superstitions and ideals onto another? Do you ever simply look at your friend, spouse or enemy, without projection? Do you know what it means to project? Projection is to cast a mask of illusion unto another person, place or thing, which prevents the clarity of seeing. To be free of such shadows, the mind must be still and completely quiet in which ignorance cannot enter. To project your thoughts and feelings unto another prevents contact with another. As long as there is an entity in you that is projecting, the wholeness of perception is not. The darkness of projecting is the outcome of fear and the lack of relating to another.

Only when your whole being is at rest, tranquil and silent is there freedom to look and relate to another. In such relationship, there is no partition between you and another. There is no you and me, we are one. To be in this oneness, is to be in direct contact with all life. It is to go beyond all self-imposed or traditional limitations of mind and body. To live in this is the fundamental nature in which all humanity seeks. In this nothingness, all is. When you are completely free of all projections, fears and desires, then that which is beyond the mind and all its absurdities, enters your being and radiates its immeasurable glory. That sacred glory is the real. This untouchable essence within, which transcends all things, is the bliss of eternity.

Spirituality is a journey beyond the mind.
 

The spiritual journey begins when you are willing to look within your own self for the truth and not depend on what others may or may not have said. It is to go past the edge of our mental jungle and all its boundaries on your own to discover what is beyond this life. The turning point is to look into the heart of the seeker through deep inquiry to discover the truth. It is the art of venturing out by looking within. When at once you discover the great secret of life by asking who is the seeker within you that is seeking the Truth, the mysterious quest of life begins and end.

Dear Beloved

Dear Beloved,

Today, I thank you

Without a doubt, you are my all in all

My one and only true friend.

In you, I can trust always

In you, there is eternal peace.

Today, I honor your holy presence

You are the glory that brings me joy

You are the purity from beyond

You are my weakness and my salvation

I give my all to you, always.

It is your brilliance that shines in me

It is your wonder that has me enamored

Now that we are one all illusions are no more

Inseparable, we are one and the same, my only beloved.
