CELESTIAL BEINGS, VISIONS AND MEDITATION WHEN YOU CAN’T

Some mornings when baby Maia gets up early I cannot sit and do what I would call a formal meditation ritual, and so continue the consciousness of what I wake up with, throughout the morning by simple breathing, walking, eating, playing practices. Mindfulness, Deeply Present. Presence.

I wake chanting the Heart Sutra Mantra (and do so whenever I wake during the night). It is a good practice. Any word or mantra true to your heart will work when intention is pure.

ག༌ཏེ༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌སཾ༌ག༌ཏེ༌བོ༌དྷི༌སྭཱ༌ཧཱ།

Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi swāhā

Go beyond your self, go beyond what you know, go beyond the breath, empty yourself, bathe yourself in the Buddha, your True Self.

It is said in the The Royal Seal of Mahamudra in the ‘Sutra of Entering the Sublime’ The Buddha said “The merit of a bodhisattva practitioner of yoga who practiced samadhi for just the duration of a finger snap is greater than the merit accrued by providing the necessities of life to all the beings in the three worlds for as long as they live”

So this time when I was in the bath playing with Maia I honored our Light Family (I do this through a Kriya breath in which I cycle through the Light Family energies in the inner astral spine as I am playing with Maia. I actually name and visualize them, from the Gurus, Angels, Saints and Masters, to Yogananda, Christ, Buddha, Krishna and Divine Mother. So each “member” “sits” in a chakra portal, Christ for example at the heart chakra. It is a simple practice, honoring each on the inward breath, connecting on the outward breath. You can do it walking down the street. The consciousness is in you. You are that Divine Christ Light in the Heart.)

Then I sat still and used the Kalachakra ritual of blending deities, Celestial Buddha and Guan Yin, by being drawn into the mouth of the Celestial Buddha, by Light, and then passing through His Body and into Guan Yin, dissolving into Her Womb.

All with my eyes open.

As I sat still, at that moment, at the ‘snap of a finger’ a bright light, brighter than any torch, brighter than a search light, brighter than the sun, from an infinitesimal dot in the distance, expanding to a bright splendid clear light in front of me, emerged and shone into me and entered me.

Allow the Light to enter.

And it will.

It stopped my breath.

Awe-inspiring and magnificent.

I gave thanks to baby Maia and all of you for this experience of the Divine Light in such a practical way.

Playing with my baby.

This transpired because in the previous night’s meditation The Buddha’s Celestial Being was revealed to me. Surrounding the Buddha were other celestial beings including our Mother Guan Yin. It reminded me of the following story.

On the seventh year after His Enlightenment, the Buddha preached the Abhidhamma (higher Doctrine) in Tavatimsa Heaven. As a fulfillment of gratitude to his former mother, now a Santussita Deva, the Buddha then delivered a sermon on the Higher Doctrine to thousands of Devas (Gods) and Brahmas (higher celestial beings) who attained the various stages of Noble Sainthood.

I knew I was equally immersed in Heaven when this was revealed to me and as gratitude to my own earth mother and Mother Guan Yin, I was able to receive this experience of the Celestial Buddha and through His Consciousness within me the Divine Light experience in the bath with baby Maia.

Love and Soul Blessings
