"...the only way to help people experience peace, is to first know what peace is myself." Beautiful Priya, and so true :) (X)

I love it! Such truth and lightness, a great article. You'd be crazy not want more happiness and joy in life!

Sweet!! It is certainly my forever choice.

Hi, in the piece about peace, it talks about anchoring oneself in the notion of not being the mind, or the emotions, or the drama, and one so often hears not the body either... I would like to suggest that it would be more helpful to state that we are the body, the mind, the drama etc, but it is not the totality of who we are.. The ego and the mind get a bad press these days, and it may be vitally important to recognise they have there place within exsistence and our development, but not to become overwhelmed by them, and identify with them as being our whole selves.. To suggest we are not these things, I have observed can cause a division in people, because they feel certain aspects of their being are inferior, or to be avoided to the point of internal division. To face the drama, to recognise that it absolutely comes from the source of creation inorder to enable us to see ourselves more clearly. Without the drama, the ego, the potions of separation, where would we be??? They have their place in the grand unfolding of creation

It is always so encouraging to hear how possible it is to experience true, long lasting inner peace! How lovely to hear what a true adventure your life has turned into Bhrigu :)

I did what you said here, today at work, and amazingly, my boss was much nicer, as was my annoying co-worker. I think he even smiled at me today, which never happens. Thanks.

Wow! I want to praise this article, it's inspiring. So easy to forget to look on the bright side of life, and yet when I do everything changes. Everyone's nicer. Thanks for this.

the bright path is something i am really interested in as im wanting to learn so much more .my sister is going on the course in the next couple of weeks in edinburgh but unfortunately im living in germany and im unable to go with her

The complications of answering the question to an absolute quality in words are really a waste of time. Searching for an answer doesn't necessarily mean answering a question. It can actually be in moving beyond the need to define reality into concrete questions and answers. Then life becomes simple because it doesn't have to fit into a definition of words. The thoughts that are generated from idealism to find a purpose in life are from a place of question. Questioning is a relative state that has no anchor. When you have an anchor you experience a different state of mind than that of questioning. It's not necessarily a state of answers but it could be if you decide to plaster more definitions and answers to life by diving back into the state of questioning so that you can start defining life all over again. But that is how the ego is developed, and so there is no point in circling that dead carcass again. Life really isn't meant to have a definition to it. With almost 7 billion people on the planet searching for an answer to a question, and then applying their personal answer to their question, you could end up with 7 billion definitions. And to further complicate things, if each person interprets reality differently, and that would include the experience of the Ascendant, it is not an experience of life that determines life or reality. Experiences change, constantly. The Joy or Bliss that is described in scripture is something greater than the experience but does not remove itself from experience. It lives within each experience but the senses are extremely attached to the experience part and often fail to overwhelm the Bliss or Joy part. There is a translation of the Bible where Moses after metaphorically traversing the trials and tribulations of living life in the wasteland of his thoughts comes upon God and asks a question. he says, "God, I've been thinking...(too much obviously) what do I call you, do you have a name?" God replies, "Tell your people, I am Becoming." The statement leads the mind toward something more amorphous than a definition of being a someone or something. It leads toward the realization that God is in everything but no thing that lasts in the relative for any amount of time. It is only the senses which have been trained out of habit that identify with a someone or something that builds the ego which is the reason for suffering. If something doesn't meet the relative ideals of definition there is no fulfillment. This means there is no fulfillment in the relative idealism of definition or meaning that can be attached to the word life. Fulfillment then is something that is beyond those boundaries, something within the experiences of the relative. Something that is clothed in the relative, but one would have to lose the fascination with the outer clothing to See it or hear it or to even experience it. Those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear..

Cool site........

Narain, your writing always inspires me. More please!

Can one person really make a difference???

Wow, this is a bit of wake up call...love it!

I think people take things out of context when approaching the world from the waking state. The question invariably arises when someone says something must be done to invoke change in the world. That question is what can or must I do? The answer is little to nothing if you do not know how the world is created and perceived from states of higher consciousness. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna dances upon the battlefield between the two warring families singing "God, God, everywhere is God." Praising all aspects of God in all forms, which are not always seen for what they are from the lesser states of consciousness. In the analogy of the cells of the body and the way they communicate with each other through the mechanics of neuropeptides and receiver sites, we come to understand how our cells talk to each other and actually feel each other. The Human psyche is not much different. There are no boundaries between humans that are created other than from belief, and so what we see, hear and feel is something that is shared on both an unconscious and a conscious level. If you project fear and judgment it adds a voice to the whole. If you immerse yourself in the absolute truth of the Ascendant you add that voice to the whole. In reality the whole is a metaphor for the billions of personalities which are still one. One voice, One God, One Ascendant. To see, taste, smell and feel the one, you have to become the one, rather than focus on the many. Obviously that is what MSI meant by "Heal yourself and you heal the world."

Take me to your leader, Narain. I'm ready to wake up.

KAHBLAM!! Right on Narain :) (X)

wonderful clarity Thank you we won't know what the solutions will look like until we connect with the Silence

It is time for every individual to wake up to what lives in each and every heart. All core teachings say the same thing. There is only One Source for all of Life. End the idea of separation, and we will end the conflicts of our world.

This is fantastic. Thank you, it has really reminded me about the importance of patience!

Thank you for the eye-opening message. I know my homeplay will definately be on developing patience for my freedom.

Thank you so much, this is really inspiring to read, and I love the new site too!
