TRANSCENDENCE

May you have the courage to transcend suffering and let go into the Love that waits patiently to receive it. Love will swallow it whole if you will just……but allow it.As suffering waxes and wains Love is ever present within your own precious heart, all heaven on earth awaits.

THE SUBLIME PATHWAY

There is a path, a sublime pathway of wisdom and illumination which begins, for each human being, in any one incarnation on this earth in the present life, and thereafter leads inward, for it is the pathway of consciousness and spiritual realization leading ever inward, more inward, still more inward, toward the mystic East, which is the heart of the universe, and it is the core of you — the rising sun of spiritually divine consciousness within you. There is a hunger in every human heart, which nothing can satisfy or appease — a hunger for something more true than ordinary human beings wit of, a hunger for the real, a hunger for the sublime. It is the nostalgia of the soul, of the spirit-soul of man. The source of this longing is the home-sickness brought about by the soul-memory of our spiritual abode, whence we came and towards which we are now on our return journey. In proportion as you ally your- self with your own inner god, with the fountain of divinity which is constantly pouring through your own inner being, does your con- sciousness ascend and expand in power and reach, so that with inner growth comes expanding vision on the one hand and the expanding consciousness to interpret that vision on the other hand.  Golden Precepts of Esotericism.

BEYOND TIME AND SPACE

Love is the one and only thing we are capable of perceiving (with the heart) that transcends dimensions of time and space. It is the only thing that permeates all matter, all form and, the absence of any form or matter. It is simply on every breath we take, was there before breath we took, and will be there when breath we take no more. Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

A MEDITATION ON BREATH

All forms of meditation in my experience are predicated on understanding that the peace and equanimity that is sought is already within, there is no seeking. When we quieten our minds, stop thought, words and action, truth arises of a love beyond measure, that has been there all along patiently waiting for our return. In dissolving the barriers created by thought we are set free to Love which is our true nature…..may you find that love now…..for it has already found you.
