This meditation will explore portals of awakening through being the Light, and the power of the angelic, bodhisattva and master experience within, by being, and bringing deep presence and wisdom to our daily experience, moment by moment. Just as we have an outer life now that we strongly connect to, and that we draw our outer purpose from, so we have an inner purpose, to awaken divine consciousness, and this is awakening within as we speak right now.

That is the master within that we will experience.

Matthew 5:14-16 

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

In our spiritual evolution, as many of us are experiencing, the Great Ones tell us “We are the Light.”  Your inner purpose is to awaken this divine consciousness, your outer purpose is to follow the signs gifted to you by this universal consciousness with presence and awareness and assist others to liberate and be free.

When the Buddha lay dying his disciples pleaded, “Blessed One, who will be our teacher now? Who will guide us? How will we achieve enlightenment without your help?”

The Buddha’s last words were, “Be your own light.”

You may be forgiven for thinking the Christ and the Buddha were singing from the same hymnbook, one saying to let your light shine and the other to be your own light.

The truth is the light. Seek the truth, follow the way of the inner master and the light shall set you free. You will be your own light, you will be enlightened.

Everyone has their own light. Inside each of us is the light of the master, the angel and the bodhisattva, the being, the human being, that knows who we truly are, where we come from, and where we are going. In this light, there is clarity and insight, and when we are silent and still, in meditation on this timelessness within us, the truth of who we have always been sets us free.

Every day we flower, unfolding to receive the Light. The light, the illumination, is an awakening to the awareness that everything is connected. We feel it as resonance, as awareness of the life energy flowing through us, as a knowing that we are part of everything and everything is part of us. The meditation and the meditator vanishes, and only the Universe as it is, remains.


It can come in so many ways, through dreams and visions, meditation, and relationships, in any everyday moment, or in near-death experiences. The light is always there.

The Christ and the Buddha realized that everything is connected.

So did Einstein.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us `the Universe.’ Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Experiences drawn from Altair’s new book ‘Diary of a Yogi – A Book of Awakening’ due to be published on 19 October of this year, will explore techniques of connecting to the light within in 7 steps. We will then reveal through the unity of the Shared Heart the miracles we can unfold through the state of being that is the awakened divine consciousness, present in the light.

To bring the Consciousness of the Awakened Divine Life into our lives is to bring Presence into our hearts, Self Realization into our every moment, with the awareness that we are channels for the universal consciousness and nothing we do is by our hand alone. 

The Awakened Consciousness, the Consciousness of pure awareness of the light within is to be present in God or Source Consciousness, or the True Self, to know the Divine Experience Within, to be present and awake. 

If you are reading this then you are likely to feel a deep connection to the consciousness of the light, presence and awakening, to relate to the feeling that this physical life is becoming more and more transparent as the light arises within you, and that you are drawing power and wisdom from the light, and know that we are in a cycle of communicating with unity consciousness and the light at every moment. We are all human beings and divine beings, ever present in the realization of this divine wisdom and presence and so speak to one another of the I AM essence and the power of now, the stillness beyond time and form. 

Timeless presence. 

Be the Light.

We are the Light.

I AM THAT I AM. 

Love and Blessings

BODHISATTVA OR ARCHANGELIC PRACTICES OF THE ELDERS – Kalachakra Lesson 3

BODHISATTVA OR ARCHANGELIC PRACTICES OF THE ELDERS

Kalachakra Lesson 3

To fully realise deity yoga or the unity of God Consciousness, you need to receive initiation in whatever way your soul has contracted to do so.

This could be through a Lama, a guru, God Within through meditation or time alone in nature.

And to do that, as the foundation of your path of pathlessness, you need direct experience of compassion and realisation of emptiness or complete surrender to presence, being and what is.

Knowledge of the I AM Presence through the power of now.

The Dalai Lama has taught extensively on The Path to Enlightenment and also of the tantra (or path of unity consciousness) taught by Manjushri.

In this they speak of the Great Protection given to us all by :

the Bodhisattvas ‘above’ the earth (whom we call Archangels and Elders)

the Kings and Queens/Divine Consorts who dwell in all directions and all dimensions to assist the worlds of humans (whom we also call Gods and Goddesses)

the Kings and Queens of Serpents and Dragons ‘under’ the earth who protect us from darker energies and unvirtuous ones

PRACTICE

How do we cultivate the compassion of the Bodhisattvas and Archangels?

A simple guide is given in the Thirty Seven Practices of the Dalai Lama’s Kalachakra Tantra in Chapter 3.

To make them very simple I will share with you the 36th practice which is a summary of them all as it says

“In brief, it is the practice of the Bodhisattvas to achieve others welfare through continually possessing mindfulness (and heartfulness) and introspection (the I AM inquiry – who am I? of Ramana Maharshi and Mooji), knowing the state of their mind (and heart) in each and every form of behaviour (each and every moment).”

What does this mean practically for us?

A simple practice which embodies the 36th stanza is mindfulness and heartfulness of the breath as Thich Nhat Hanh practices.

As you go about your day bring your attention and awareness to the breath.

Be very present.

Say to yourself “Breathing in, I AM aware I am breathing in, breathing out I AM aware I am breathing out.”

Notice where your mind is (thoughts/images/self-talk).

Notice where your heart is (feelings/emotions/moods).

When you know you are truly present and have surrendered to the present moment (the power of now of Eckhart Tolle), in being attentive to the breath you will feel the presence of peace and clarity and kindness for yourself opening and arising from within the power of the God Space, God Consciousness.

You will be, as the Kalachakra and the Dalai Lama put it, in a state of Presence and dwelling within the clear Light of Being, which is the true nature of the mind and heart.

“Through the virtue arising from this, you (dear traveler on the path) will become the same as the protector Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig, Guan Yin), in the supreme mind and heart of true enlightenment.”

Love and soul blessings

Altair and Mother
