Spirituality and Consciousness

Actually, getting back to the story(ies), I appreciate you making reference to the mantra practice. I myself practice mantra japa. I in no way intended for you to reveal what your mantra is, but rather wanted to find out whether of not you attribute it to any spiritual advancement in your personal life. Secondly, as you are already aware of, "Every obstacle is a doorway to the Divine", and it is "Suffering which brings us closer to God". I think many people on the spiritual path experience great trials of suffering and hardship, perhaps thats why ultimately, we are on it....If indeed you are marketing something, we welcome you to do that on your TBD profile. On the other hand, if you would like to continue sharing your stories with us and your 'wealth' of personal spiritual experiences, whatever they may be...we are happy and very interested in exploring them here...I like to think of this as a group that is supportive and compassionate of our spiritual experiences, yet exacting with a bit of rigor (just to 'spruce' up our consciousness). Getting back to the title of this thread, "The Secret of the Universe". What is this "Secret" all about, esp. in relation to where you are now?

My hubby said that to me years ago:

"If you don't want my answer, don't ask your question."

That has stuck with me and it's one I remember well. I too speak from my heart (most times), and have been better for it.

As for sharing your experience in a public way, I thought that was what this site was about. If it isn't, then I'm in deep dodo...<lol> as that's all I know of to express, my experience. For what it's worth, I've felt somewhat lost most of my life. It's only been the past few years that I feel more at home. As we are spirits having a human experience, why wouldn't we feel lost? Some days it's tough - at least for me.

Thank you for sharing,

Deb

" I wanted to find out whether of not you attribute it to any spiritual advancement in your personal life. "

A resounding yes. In a way everything I am, everything that I have encountered and experienced on the path is directly related to my mantra ( For the most part I do japa as well and thus use several 'industrial strength' beads as an integral part of my practices ).

My Masters were both, one to a greater extent than the other, known as Masters of Light. My primary experience is, or can be best discribed anyway, analogous to visual and in the Realm of Light.

That said they were both of them centered within the heart chakra. Some care is taken to 'visit' and interact with all of the chakras, to be sure- But we remain centered in the heart.

Now, back to the secret- We come here, to this plane of being not alone. We are to a very great extent anyway not separate at all not even for a moment ( 99.999999999 percent ). There is but one point where we can even be thought of as discrete. We are contiguous to and virtually inseparable from what I will have to call 'bundles' for lack of a better term at the moment. We exist almost purely in relationship and we share almost purely a common mission or goal, purpose, divine in nature.

We are jointly co responsible for humanity at a very intimate level. As Durqu says, " We are spirit(s) having a human experience " and as some wise man once said, " The mission of man is to re member."

" What is this "Secret" all about ? "

We collectively and individually made a promise when we came here of our own free will. We swore an oath. As one we shouted, " I Will !! " " I Will !! "
