AWAKENING ABUNDANCE

AWAKENING ABUNDANCE

What we think our purpose is, is directly connected to how we see ourself in connection with others.

“I’m not making enough money, getting enough clients in my healing practice, enough people on my website.”

When we focus on this we don’t touch the true soul of the abundance, the deeper “Self” that is the true generator of all abundance.

And that abundance comes down to a misperception of who we are as the creator of abundance and this, in turn, creates dysfunction in your relationships to others and the money which is a natural flow from them and the universe.

Because when we are not present with our needs and the needs of others we are also not connected to the universe.
We believe in some way people are withholding from us and our purpose which is an illusion.

If our thought is lack then we will experience lack.

When we acknowledge the incredible good we are doing then we create a foundation for abundance.

I worked some years ago with a community in Canada. They were struggling with abundance and many of the businesses were slow, stagnant or dying. They were in an isolated area and felt due to growth in the cities they were being bypassed.
I explained to them that if they had a mindset where they thought people were missing them out then they were missing out on connecting to people.

Deep down their thinking was small and informed by a misperception that their community had nothing to give.

So I asked them to do the exact opposite.

For two weeks, whatever they felt a lack of, I asked them to give that to people they met. If they lacked time, then they would take the time to be with people. Without asking for anything in return.

I asked them to act as if they had plenty to give and it would come to them in return.
I worked with each of them individually and helped them to shift their mind and heart into the awakened mind, where presence, stillness and being became a regular part of their everyday business practice.

The universe as it is has a constant flow.
In and out.
Give and it will be given to you.

The source of abundance, which is the soul of the universe, is not outside us, it is within us.
When we see lack, we also fail to see the abundance all around us.

I asked the community to see fullness in everything around them.
The child’s laughter, the flowers in the field, the abundance in two business people who had never spoken finding a way of helping each other. That abundance becomes like rain from the sky. It rains gifts of more abundance.

Abundance in this group had been dormant and when they awoke to the fullness of what was around them they also awoke the sleeping abundance at the heart of the soul of their business and their life purpose.

Then they began to ask who they could be of service to, themselves, and then each other, then their own community and then their larger community. They became aware of needs, on a deeper level, which is the flowering of compassion. That flowering created a magnetism, that attracted people and the entire community flourished. People were stunned that in just two weeks, they could effect a change and move abundance from within.

That is truly a miracle. And of course, it is! There is a universal law of miracles that says we contain the universe within us and that universe is abundant.

To the one who has, more will be given.

LIVING A LIFE OF MIRACLES THROUGH UNIVERSAL PRESENCE

LIVING A LIFE OF MIRACLES THROUGH UNIVERSAL PRESENCE

Love and blessings from the Source.

As each of you sits there, listening to me, reading these words, you perceive that we are separate.

That is what our brains are hard-wired to do.

Through years of evolution our brains have developed physiologically to be in fight or flight mode.

Separation.

So we don’t experience the universe as it is.

Within us, is the cosmos.

Within each of us, sitting here, is the God-Self, the deeper “I”, which connects to the universe as it is.

When we are still.

A universal connector as it were.

That universal connector within us, that universal gate is the consciousness of the goddess Guan Yin Avalaokiteshvara.

The Universal Gate.

Quantum physics calls this the gate of quantum entanglement or as Einstein said “spooky action at a distance.”

Because we all know the lightness of being that comes when we are in love.

It works at a distance.

The Universal Gate activates.

When I met my wife, Sumire, we were traveling together to an isolated beach in New Zealand called Whale Beach. This story is in my new book ‘Diary of a Yogi – A Book of Awakening’ coming out in October. As we reached an old farm gate and started to climb over we were both transported to the realm of pure consciousness and cosmic awareness and we could feel it moving in and through us.

Love.

Connecting us to the universe as it is.

Even when we are not close we know what the other person is doing or feeling when we are in love.

Like quantum physics, we are entangled, in love.

The Universal Gate of Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara Consciousness is not outside you.

She is within you, alive and speaking through me and through you in everything we do, when we are present, and experiencing the universe as it is.

When I met the Dalai Lama, personally, on several occasions, and asked him how to practice the consciousness of Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara he always says study, study Her Way, then practice, practice being a Divine Mother for the world with the affection of a mother for a child.

Then he said to teach 10 people and ask them to teach 10 more people the path of compassion of Guan Yin.

Why compassion?

The Buddha said “Have compassion for all beings.”

This puts us directly in touch with the power of the Universal Gate, to be present for every person we come across on our path.

Jesus said “Love your neighbor.”

The power of love to touch the hearts of every person in our day.

How are we to practice?

The Dalai Lama guided me to follow Guan Yin’s own words as spoken in the Heart Sutra or Prajnaparamitahrihdaya

Tadyatha gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha

Tadyatha – Prepare – pause, breathe, stop, listen deeply, establish presence

Gate Gate – Foundation – generosity, teaching (interconnectedness), patience of inclusiveness, effort, meditation, samadhi or wisdom and bliss

Paragate – Meditation

Parasamgate – Insight

Bodhi Svaha – Go beyond

The Universal Gate is

1 gate, 2 gates, 3 gates, 4 gates and the 5th is beyond the gate.

What is the deeper meaning?

Simply, to stay in connection with the universe, when you walk, walk.

Remember to pause and breathe throughout your day.

Stop, listen deeply to the universe flowing around you and within you.

Practice presence moment to moment through activating portals of presence.

Use the breath, breathing in breathing out.

When your mind is disengaged from its usual mindless or obsessive behavior it connects to presence, the deeper “I AM” or Source.

Use the energy body, breathing in the light, breathing out the light, feeling the ocean of light within and expanding it to feel the ocean of light that surrounds you.

As you practice deep listening and seeing, see the mind and its thoughts as merely waves on that ocean of light. The deep of the ocean is the deeper “I” or “I AM Presence”. Then day to day, though you may not notice anything, the cup, the Chalice or the Grail gets fuller, until one day the consciousness of the cosmos speaks to you and through you, because now it has filled up the cup of the heart within you, and lets you know you are home.

Some time ago I was practicing in a mindfulness group and was very very still.

For a long time.

In that presence the Dragon’s Daughter Long Nu, acolyte of Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara arose in light body form, as clear and real as you are to me when I meet you in the physical world, and she held out a pearl to me, the Chintamani Stone, which many of you know I received from the Heart of Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara as a real rare deep sea ocean pearl in this lifetime. In the Lotus Sutra, Manjushri speaks of Her as the eight-year-old daughter of the Dragon or Naga King Sagara. As she is only eight some of the Buddha’s disciples do not believe she is a Buddha. She offers a pearl to the Buddha, symbolizing her life and ego, and he accepts it. She then instantly transforms into a bodhisattva and then attains complete enlightenment. When I received the pearl from her I understood her message as I had just offered my own pearl that I had received from Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara and had used for years in healing work to a woman who was dying and needed it more than me. For me, that woman was Guan Yin Buddha and I could offer my self and all the blessings I had accumulated for her complete enlightenment.

When you do the Babaji Breath, breathing the light of AWE up your astral spine or spine of light and breathing the light of E-ternity down the spine, you are deep in presence and awareness and breathing a cosmic current around the interior stars of the chakras, connecting one to all and activating the power of the One Chakra.

You literally breathe into existence the consciousness of the cosmos within you.

The Light of the Cosmos Within.

I was contemplating the Light of the Cosmos within us as I was editing the ‘Diary of a Yogi’ today.

I have had some real AHA moments while writing and contemplating the book and entering the portals of Presence that such a book’s words create. Like all portals, words create shifts in us, and the book’s main purpose is to create a shift in consciousness, to awaken us. That is why I say that all who read ‘Diary of a Yogi’ are awakeners. 

  Like the Chintamani Stone, the Lotus Flower, the Phoenix and the Dragon, which are all portals of Presence, making us more transparent to the light of consciousness within us, an inner transformation that is radical and profound is the state of consciousness of an awakener. As you shift, others around you feel the shift, and awaken spiritually too. 

  When we are alert, still and silent and present with the words, when we contemplate them deeply in our heart, our own divine life essence, the consciousness that exists in every being, awakens from its sleep, and love blossoms. We see that same divine consciousness in all living things and we love it as our own, as one, as the One Shared Heart. 

We see that divine consciousness in Guan Yin.

We love her as our own, as one with us, in the One Shared Heart.

Be Guan Yin.

Be love and compassion.

Be the Light of the Source.

Love and blessings always

LIONSGATE 2018 – 8888 – LORD OF STORMS – SHIVA AS RUDRA

LIONSGATE 2018 – 8888 – In the Year of the Tibetan Sirius Earth Dog – Lord of Storms – Shiva as Rudra

ALTAIR SHYAM

LIONSGATE 8am GMT on the 8th day of the 8th month of 2018 in the Tibetan and Vedic Traditions

If you are reading this then you are likely to have had a past life in ancient Tibet or India, identify with Sirius as the earth’s Spiritual Sun and know that you are in a cycle of awakening in this year, 2018, of the Tibetan Sirius Earth Dog.

This is the final cycle of the planet, a time when your inter-dimensional awareness is at a peak. The understanding of portals and symbols and how to use them to travel is awake.

Your knowledge of alchemy and natural magic is flowing and your consciousness is already reaching a point of presence in the sounds and light of the fifth element, space, opening the language we call light language to communicate beyond and retrieve information and energy in the state we call I AM Presence.

You can touch your deity consciousness, your Light Family, and bring healing to those around you by embodying divine masculine and divine feminine consciousness.

Your path is the Shambhala Path, a simple awareness of being and co-creation where you are aware that the veils cast over our earth with its confusion of politics and grasping for materialism has nothing whatsoever to do with you and everything to do with perspective. When you fill yourself with compassion and gratitude you will naturally surrender and let go and attract those who will shelter and feed your heart and bring you divine friendship to expand your true self and our shared heart.

You are the Light.

You know the Dynasty of Divine Mother where you embrace the desire of all beings to be spiritually free. The ocean of Divine Mother washes away your fears and bathes you in bliss.

The 8th day of the 8th month at 8am GMT falls into the embrace of Shiva and Sirius, as well as the Lord of Storms Rudra and Thor the God of Thunder. This is the realm of the stormy sixth nakshatra Ardra, the wisdom of dying daily, or as St Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians 15:31 “I die daily in Christ Consciousness.”

It represents fresh new awareness, the state of consciousness that “shines like a gem”. 

It is the perception of clarity that comes after spring rain.

When activated it brings a great desire to expand, as you are feeling now.

You may find yourself in the depths of exploring the soul, powerful relationships, power conflicts, as you work to cleanse the world and alleviate suffering.

The cat or lion energy within may be aroused. Be careful not to become overwhelmed as this brings a period of a sensitive nervous system, psychic vulnerability and divine restlessness.

Gratitude and appreciation, non-violence, courage, purification of eating habits and time to be alone in nature and stillness with your loved ones and divine friends are the best remedies.

Breathing in, I am aware I am breathing in love and kindness, wisdom and compassion, breathing out I am aware I am breathing out love and kindness, wisdom and compassion.

THE LIVES AND LIBERATION OF PRINCESS MANDARAVA

Leave a reply

THE LIVES AND LIBERATION OF PRINCESS MANDARAVA

PROMISE

Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal and Princess Mandarava are mahasiddhas in the Dzogchen and ancient Nyingma traditions.

Princess Mandarava, like Christ, Buddha and Krishna performed many miracles and left a record of her struggles and triumphs as an authentic historical Buddhist Master.

Here is Her gift to us.

We are all wisdom Buddhas.

In absolute truth our fundamental nature is the supreme wisdom of emptiness.

We are the supreme consort of whoever we devote our hearts to, when we uphold that deity’s enlightened noble qualities.

By the blessings of Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin we will care for all beings as our own.

We will lead all beings to liberation.

PROPHECY

“Have no doubt that the mother Mandarava will guide one to the future place of rebirth in the Realm of Great Bliss. Accordingly, for all beings, including the fortunate disciples of Tibet, whoever writes or reads this account of Mandarava’s lives and liberation and makes prostrations, offerings, and supplications with faith and devotion will experience the result of the spontaneous accomplishment of all wishes.”

MEDITATION

“Primordial mother of original purity, all-pervasive innate wisdom of the sphere of space, emanating from the supreme paradises of the five buddha families, principal among all dakinis, mother of the bodhisattvas of the three times (1) without exception, divine pure awareness holder (2) of the dance of miraculous display, on the supreme path of longevity, you are the goddess of all vajra buddha families! (3) I bow down to you, Mandarava!”

NOTES

(1) Past, present, and future.

(2) rig ’dzin, Skt. vidyadhara. In the Nyingma tantric system, there are four kinds of pure awareness holders: the pure awareness holder of maturation (rnam smin rig ’dzin), the awareness holder of power over life-span (tshe dbang rig ’dzin), the pure awareness holder of the great seal (phyag chen rig ’dzin), and the pure awareness holder of spontaneous presence (lhun grub rig ’dzin).

(3) The five buddha families are a tantric Buddhist typology of enlightenment in which the pure enlightened nature of the five psychosomatic constituents of sentient beings—the five aggregates or skandhas of form, feeling, perception, conceptualization, and consciousness—are seen as five male buddhas; these are in union with their female counterparts, who embody five primordial wisdoms, which are the pure enlightened nature of the five poisonous emotions (anger, pride, desire, jealousy, and ignorance). The “buddha” family is symbolized by Vairocana in union with his consort Dhateshvari, who embodies the primordial wisdom of the absolute expanse; the “vajra” family is symbolized by Akshobya in union with Buddhalochana, who embodies the mirror-like primordial wisdom; the “jewel” (ratna) family is symbolized by Ratnasambhava in union with Mamaki, who embodies the primordial wisdom of equality; the “lotus” (padma) family symbolized by Amitabha in union with Pandaravasini, who embodies the discriminating wisdom that knows the diversity of all phenomena; and the “action” (karma) family is symbolized by Amoghasiddhi in union with Samayatara, who embodies the wisdom capable of accomblishing all activities. (The five buddhas also have their respective paradises; cf. note 62.) Princess Mandarava is considered a manifestation of Pandaravasini, the female counterpart of Amitabha.

PRACTICE

The purpose of reading and sharing a terma is to discover and explore our life anew and find fresh new meaning in every moment so that this may help lead you to liberation and in turn when you share this wisdom you lead others to liberation.

This week simply meditate on the passage titled MEDITATION above and share here what arises in your awareness and consciousness.

This could be dreams, visions, meditations, actions or other insights and wisdom.

To meditate on the passage, read it three times daily and then enter into the silence and stillness and pray to Divine Mother in whatever form or formlessness She appears to you to guide you.

Consider what “prostrations, offerings, and supplications with faith and devotion” you could offer to Her.

For prostrations think “how can I show reverence to my body or others bodies this week?”

For offerings think “how can I give myself more self-compassion or nurture myself or show others more compassion this week?”

For supplications think “how can I ask Divine Mother for what I want and what do I want from Her, how do I want Her to guide me?”

For faith and devotion consider “what is my faith, what and whom do I place my faith and trust in, to whom am I devoted, how do I express my devotion?”

Luke 17:6 Jesus replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”

The power of faith and devotion to accomplish all wishes that Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal and Princess Mandarava speak about is the same faith of a mustard seed that Yeshua and Mary Magdalene spoke about.

In fact, Padmasambhava also used mustard seeds in parables and practices.

To dispel all obstructions He says

“HUM HUM HUM – say this and expel them by reciting mantras, playing music and hurling ritual mustard seeds.”

The key to liberation is to touch the Primordial mother of original purity and wisdom within us, to know Her, to realise Her, and in turn to see Her in all beings.

Then like Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin, we will care for all beings as our own, giving them the “love and affection of a mother for her children” as the Dalai Lama often says and bringing peace to the world.

In this way, as we are liberated into peace, so are all other beings.

Love and blessings

Altair and Mother
