YOU ARE YOUR OWN GURU AND TEACHER


YOU ARE YOUR OWN GURU AND TEACHER

For centuries the wise man, the Guru, the Master, would sit surrounded by followers, disciples. They would remain like this for days, weeks and even years. The Guru would speak words of wisdom, from his own thoughts or to answer questions about all aspects of life.

Others just need occasional guidance on the path.

“It is said that whenever the disciple is ready the master appears. Whenever you are ready the truth will be delivered to you. There is not even a single moment's gap. Whenever you are ready, it happens immediately. There is no time gap.” Osho (20th century mystic).

When the same followers remain at the feet of the Guru, he can rightly say, “you come to me each day and hear my teachings, my words of wisdom. Why are you still here? Did you learn nothing?”

We have what we need inside us, but often need a mirror to see it.

The teacher and Guru is inside all of us, just as a dry seed lives in the land. When we add water to the dry seed it grows. When we activate our spiritual intention and consciousness we start to access the wisdom within.

The mirror can be a wiser, more knowledgeable soul, or can be anyone we interact with where lessons can be learned. We meet the people we need to meet to exercise our karma, or to grow spiritually. We have the choice to learn the lesson at that opportunity, or to ignore it.

We must allocate time to quiet the mind and access our higher self, the true spirit within. Meditation is one way, but a silent walk in nature can be just as effective.

So much lies within, and we need to realise that and explore.

The PROCESS

THE PROCESS

We are in a constant process and must TAKE RESPONSIBITY for our own process. When we do so the Universe and Guides will help. Just ask for what you need, and remain connected to the process, the process of growth and change.

Patience is needed. You can’t pull the top of a plant up and expect it to grow a few centimetres just because you want it to. It will grow at it’s own pace. You can only give it the ideal conditions for it to make it’s own growth. We are the same. Relax and let go (into the web of consciousness).

We cannot control knowledge and make it our own. It is for everyone. Knowledge is WISDOM. The internet has freed up much knowledge for all, a purposeful movement, a FLOW. Everything needs to flow.

Be in constant awareness of where you put your life. Giving energy to the life you want will work in alignment with who you are and your own process > “I align with the process of the universe, the network of consciousness, and with every other expanding life and consciousness, through compassion”.

Energy produces UNITY, a unity process of individuals expanding into their groups, communities of common purpose.

If something is not life affirming, let it go. In alignment, automatically all that is not needed is given up – ideals, possessions, self image, relationships. You will receive clear indications of what you need, when you are ready to use it properly, given as a divine gift of wisdom.

To make progress in our process, develop an ever growing openness of heart and mind, and an ever changing dynamic as to who you need to be / become.

One path is through Shamanic practice. Dream the world of your becoming, the expansion of the seed you were given, unique to each individual. Our life path is a going home to our potential, and to the power of the gift, the seed. Create the right environment for it to grow. It is your responsibility. Through this fail or succeed in the adventure of life, keep the seed safe, protect it from your own foolishness, and from the destructive powers of others, from people and situations.

Live a life of continuous discovery and expansion. It is the only way to be happy and at peace with yourself, away from energy draining interior conflicts. Live a gentle acceptance of what is and anchor in the dynamic of the present moment.
