Wherever you go, or better said wherever you “think” you go, you can only take with you the understanding you have now…..

As it is said, with all the getting, get understanding—

When we have true understanding, Love becomes naturally evident-

If Enoch’s perception had been confined to the material senses, he could never have “walked with God” nor been guided into the demonstration into life eternal (Pg214 S&H)

In reply to Anirudh Kumar Satsangi.

I am happy about your liberation- In Truth we are all free, and always have been…

God is karma free, and man in His image and likeness is karma free….Free to live in accordance with the Word-First Cause

According to His Holiness Maharaj Sahab (1861-1907), the 3rd Spiritual Head of Radha Soami Faith, “during satyayuga,………..in consequence of their greater spirituality and of the high purity of their heart, had no difficulty in getting access at times into the astral planes and holding communion with the departed spirits.” (Source: Discourses on Radhasoami Faith). Greater Spirituality as mentioned above is linked to the size of pineal gland. In Satyauga pineal gland was highly developed but in Kaliyuga the pineal gland is a rudimentary (undeveloped) organ. This is downward evolution of humankind. We should ascertain the period taken from highly developed pineal gland to undeveloped pineal gland. This will determine the Age of Human Existence on this Earth Planet. Other arguments, as I think, will not help much.
In Bhagavad-Gita Lord SriKrishna says to Arjuna:
“I taught this immortal Yoga to Vivasvan (sun-god), Vivasvan conveyed it to Manu(his son), and Manu imparted it to (his son) Iksvaku. Thus transmitted to succession from father to son, Arjuna, this Yoga remained known to the Rajarisis (royal sages). It has however long since disappeared from this earth. The same ancient Yoga has this day been imparted to you by Me, because you are My devotee and friend, and also because this is a supreme secret”.
At this Arjuna said: You are of recent origin while the birth of Vivasvan dates back to remote antiquity. How, then, I am to believe that you taught this Yoga at the beginning of creation? Lord SriKrishna said: Arjuna, you and I have passed through many births. I remember them all, you do not remember.
1. Radha Soami Faith was founded by His Holiness Param Purush Puran Dhani Huzur Soamiji Maharaj on the prayer of His Holiness Huzur Maharaj who later on became second Spiritual Head of Radha Soami Faith. The prime object of the Radha Soami Faith is the emancipation of all Jeevas (Souls) i.e. to take the entire force of consciousness to its original abode. There is a tradition of succession of Gurus or Spiritual Adepts in Radha Soami Faith. I am one of them as is evident from the following facts or ….
“My most Revered Guru of my previous life His Holiness Maharaj Sahab, 3rd Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith had revealed this secret to me during trance like state.
HE told me, “Tum Sarkar Sahab Ho” (You are Sarkar Sahab). Sarkar Sahab was one of the most beloved disciple of His Holiness Maharj Sahab. Sarkar Sahab later on became Fourth Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith.
Since I don’t have any direct realization of it so I can not claim the extent of its correctness. But it seems to be correct. During my previous birth I wanted to sing the song of ‘Infinite’ (Agam Geet yeh gawan chahoon tumhri mauj nihara, mauj hoi to satguru soami karoon supanth vichara) but I could not do so then since I had to leave the mortal frame at a very early age. But through the unbounded Grace and Mercy of my most Revered Guru that desire of my past birth is being fulfilled now.”

We are infinite. When we merge into the One, all is instantly revealed, simple and enormous, beautiful and perfect. There are so many layers of being-yet they are all good and everthing is perfect as it is. The most important thing for us is to live the love we are: every moment, every thought, every act. Blessings, Chris

Great observation and question. The measuring device created by a finite mind (like mine) will stumble when trying to answer it.

Sounds more like a knowing for the irrational wisdom of the heart.

Infinity in a dying age?

In reply to kshatriya.

Even the word “revealing” implies an ongoing process, whereas “revealed” would speak to an ‘end’ to process.

Eternity is a long time. I’m grateful for It.

But, if God is infinite, how could our “enlightenment” ever be complete? This would imply a destination, or an ending of sorts. And the universe is ever-expanding, or un-ending.

I’m happy not knowing a lot. Though I suspect I know more than I could ever imagine. We’ll see what I come up with. 🙂

Michael

Your words remind me, often, of the ongoing conversations I have been fortunate enough to have with my meditation teacher. It is easy to see how the enjoyment of your journey has enhanced your clarity.

God revealing God to God.

For myself, meditation is the best way to quiet the mind and let the ego dissolve or surrender to our true nature of Love and Light or pure energy. In more scientific terms, to not let the mind subvert or conform the tangled hierarchy of primary experience into a conditioned one. I am “working” on sustaining that freedom of Spirit in being One and getting off the wheel of causality.

To have peace on earth and a society of enlightened beings, each of us has to recognize our essential Selves.

Love,
Michael

Enlightenment does not require a long arduous path of innumerable lives. Its as close as your own breath. This new view of enlightenment as a natural effortless process is also part of the shift in consciousness necessary to evolve into a society of enlightened beings.
