PORTALS OF PRESENCE – KOYA-SAN – YOGA OF ACTION

LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

YOGA OF ACTION – PART 2

We are all Christs.

As souls we were originally with God or Source.

Spirit projects the desire to create an ‘image’ of itself, an individual expression.

Each of us.

The soul becomes manifest and projects this idea or image of the body in causal form.

The idea or image in the mind of God or Source becomes energy or the astral body. The astral body becomes concentrated into the physical body.

Through the spine of light the soul descends into identifying with matter.

This is why Presence and practice of the ascent of the soul up the astral spine through Kriya Yoga or a similar technique is so essential to liberation from the physical body. 

Christ Consciousness is Presence, Self Realization. 

The Christ Consciousness, God or Source Consciousness, or the True Self, is the Divine Within, present and awake. 

Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the Buddha and Guan Yin, realized this divine presence and so spoke to us of the I AM essence and mindfulness in the now, the stillness beyond time and form. 

Timeless presence. 

I AM THAT I AM. 

The second coming of Buddha as Maitreya and the return of the Christ is a transformation in us from time-bound thinking to timeless presence and pure consciousness. 

PRACTICE

Thich Nhat Hanh always used a bell to remind us to be present, a call to ourselves to awareness and awakening. 

If you have a small bell or a chime or the sound of one play it now as we begin. 

Notice the silence and stillness and presence that follows as you listen deeply and notice the silence. 

This is the Presence or Christ Consciousness activating in you. 

When thoughts come see them like waves moving on the ocean. 

They are not the ocean. 

They are not the True Self. 

The True Self, the I AM Presence is the One aware of the silence. 

Be still, and know I AM Presence. 

Noticing the silence frees you of thought. 

Feeling the energy body frees you of thought. 

Watching the breath frees you of thought. 

Your senses still perceive, usually the listening, what you hear around you. 

These come and go, merely objects in your consciousness. 

We are most often occupied with the objects, the waves, the thoughts, and rarely with the pure consciousness, the ocean, the space of awareness itself. 

You cannot bind it or claim it. 

The witness or the Christ Consciousness is the I AM Presence that Christ spoke about when he said “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58) and when Moses asked God for the Name of God and was told “I AM THAT I AM” (Exodus 3:14). 

There is nowhere you need to go, nothing you need to achieve, the Christ Consciousness or the Buddha Nature Within is already present. 

If you find thoughts come so be it. 

When you accept it you go beyond it. 

That is the power of the Christ Consciousness. 

Acceptance, love. 

Pure acceptance is acceptance of everything. 

Wisdom is knowing I AM nothing 

Love is knowing I AM everything 

Life and thoughts flow as waves between. 

Let them be. 

1) Who is noticing the silence? 

2) Who is watching the breath? 

3) Who is seeing the light?

The I AM Presence.

The Higher Self is the Presence of the Christ Consciousness. 

When we are aware moment to moment of the Presence of the Higher Self we are living in the Presence of Christ Consciousness.

LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF DIVINE MOTHER

LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF DIVINE MOTHER

Thanks to a wonderful gathering organized by Gilles Asselin I am going to share a transcript of wisdom we discussed, about the presence of the divine feminine in our lives.

And today in Japan is ‘Tanabata’ the 7th day of the 7th month, known as the Star Festival when the deities and star consciousness of Altair and Vega meet. It is the day when the wish-fulfiling power of your heart is at its mystical best, so wish with wisdom knowing that what you can conceive of will manifest in full.

EXTRACT FROM CHAPTER 4 OF PORTALS OF PRESENCE

KOYA-SAN – YOGA OF ACTION – PART 1

Let’s talk together about awareness.

This is a dialogue, shared wisdom, a collective experience.

What I am about to share with you is a Chintamani Stone, an Oracle, a Sign, a meditation.

We are all divine beings, Source Messengers, bodhisattvas and earth angels.

So what we share here is a collective wisdom of our divinity.

You have heard it before, you have absorbed it, you know it.

But until you practice it, it is not wisdom.

You can feel it already, this flow of wisdom, because right now we are practicing, in the Shared Heart, together.

The alchemy, the Grail, is that opening and glowing in the Heart.

So rest in that presence.

Surrender and allow space for the silence.

As we listen, deeply, together.

Before we begin let us consider our awareness, here and now in the present.

When we consider it carefully we see that all is not as it seems.

Look around you now at your surroundings.

The chairs and table and space that surrounds you is filled with energy and consciousness. It is alive.

The body you exist in is also filled with that energy and consciousness and information.

You sense that.

Yet you are not the chairs or table, nor are you the body.

We all know at some point in time, our body will cease to exist, just as the chairs and table will.

Yet right now there is a witness, an observer, a divine presence within you that knows.

That you are awake.

It is because you are becoming still.

Be still and know I AM Presence.

We are so conditioned to our body and our surroundings that we believe they are our reality, that they define us.

Yet there is something greater, a power, a knowing within.

You feel it. That is why we are here, gathered together on this planet.

Let us experiment together.

THE DIVINE FEMININE – BEING AND THE MIND

Go into the body now, feel.

Generally speaking it is easier for a woman to feel and be in her body than a man, so she is naturally closer to Being and the Divine Feminine Presence. We all know that many ancient cultures chose female figures like Isis or Guan Yin to represent the formless transcendental reality.

The Tao in the Tao Te Ching is described as the infinite eternally present mother of the universe and Prajnaparamita in the Heart Sutra is described as the Mother of All Buddhas.

Women embody the unmanifested, the Goddess, Divine Mother.

When the mind took over it started to think of Source or God as male and as we see today much of society is male dominated. The God of authority and control is a male projection.

To connect with Being or Source requires surrender, non-judgment, openness and compassion, the divine feminine.

Mind energy runs our planet’s society whereas Being energy is in charge of everything else. However most men and women are still in the grip of their mind, constant thoughts and suffering through the pain body.

THE 7 POINT CHECK FOR AWAKENED AWARENESS

So let’s check for divine awareness, for being.

I call it the 7 point check for awakened awareness.

  1. First close your eyes.
  2. Take your attention to the breath.
  3. Breathe and become aware of the in breath as you breathe in and the out breath as you breathe out.
  4. Then become aware of the entire inner field of energy.
  5. Visualize yourself surrounded by light and that you are immersed in this sea of consciousness.
  6. Then breathe in the light. Breathe in the light. Breathe out the light. Feel the light filling up your body. Making it glow. Feel it. Feel the being-ness of this energy field.
  7. Become one with it. Merge with it. Stay in the realm of Pure Being. When you open your eyes look at your surroundings again.

Your awareness has shifted.You are now aware of the formless timeless nameless realm of Being, deep stillness, deep joy. When you surrender like this, you open to the Light within, you allow the Light to enter you, you realize you are not separate from the Light and that it is in fact your very essence.

When I was very young, just after I had the dream of being a Tibetan monk from age 2 to 3 I used to practice breathing in and out the light. I would say it to myself whenever I got ill.

“Breathe in the Light, Breathe out the Light.”

When I did the Kalachakra Tantra with the Dalai Lama this was my experience for 3 days, pure pristine bliss and peace, initiated by a blinding flash of Light from the Divine Feminine Essence of Guan Yin and the Divine Masculine Essence of the Archangel Metatron.

A SIMPLE GUIDE TO DAILY PRACTICE OF AWAKENED AWARENESS IN 7 LINES

1) Pray to your teacher guide or guru within daily

2) With the help of a qualified teacher or the guru within gain a clear understanding of the best path for you for liberation

3) Make the path the heart of your practice and meditate diligently

4) Meditate on the teacher guide or guru within visualising him or her above the crown of your head with streams of amrita flowing down through the central channel cleansing away all impurities and suffering of body speech heart and mind

5) Meditate on our body as the luminous Light Body of the deity, teacher guide or guru within descending from our crown into the eight petaled lotus of our heart and mingling with the indestructible essence drop in a single taste.

6) After meditation consider visualise and feel that everything that appears is a pure buddhafield or christgrid peopled by buddhas and christs or deities.

7) Use the activities of eating walking sitting and washing the dishes as the Buddha washing Buddha’s bowl considering them as offerings to all for their liberation. Even in bed and going to sleep practice visualising the teacher guide or inner guru in the center of our hearts so that practice becomes a continuous uninterrupted stream of nectar and virtue in everything we do.

DIVINE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT AND NEEDS, FEELINGS, THOUGHTS

When we consider deeply.

We arrive on this planet with pristine pure awareness, divine children.

We arrive with an awareness of the face before we were born, whether it be angelic or master, bodhisattva or Elder, so we have a need to know. To remember.

Needs, feelings, thoughts.

These become critical in our development of awakened awareness.

We have a face at birth.

Depending on our choice of parent our arrival into the physical body can be somewhat of a shock.

So our mother, the one who gives birth to us, opens the energies of the Divine Mother for all of us initially. She meets our need to connect with the divine feminine in form. She meets our need to belong. She reminds us, as the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama says, that we have all been mothers in some life or other, for each other. In that sense we are all each other’s children. We belong to each other.

OUR DESIRE TO BELONG

We all feel this desire to belong. We look for it in various forms, forms we recognize from previous lives or other worlds and dimensions, forms like art or music or dance, or spiritual teachings, healing, businesses that promote wellbeing or connection. Lovers that ignite the flame in our hearts. Children that awaken our joy of being.

So there is this presence of Divine Mother, the divine feminine, awake and in our awareness to varying degrees throughout our life.

I was fortunate to have a Mother Superior guiding me into the heart of Mother Mary from birth and then Guan Yin guiding me into her heart through the manifestation of a pearl from her heart around 20 years ago. After my own mother’s death Guan Yin and Divine Mother guided me into the Light through an experience of the Kalachakra Tantra with the Dalai Lama.

The level to which this awareness of the divine feminine develops is to a large extent dependent on us developing awareness of our needs and feelings and thoughts.

Most of us operate in a mode of backwards by design.

We think and therefore we think we are our thoughts with the mass of confusion and judgments and challenges.

We have very little awareness of our true feelings.

We do not know how to express our needs.

And we are not aware, moment to moment, that we are an awakened human, an earth angel, with the power of the flame and Light of God alive and flowing in our hearts.

ACTION IN THE HEART OF DIVINE MOTHER

So how can we act with presence and awakening?

To bring the divine feminine?

Be still and know God, I AM Presence

“Surrender is creating spaces for stillness”

As I came to write this chapter about how to live, how to act, I turned again and again to my own mother, who set for me countless examples of kindness and generosity. Together with my father, she served the Cambodian refugees for many years and received a Queen’s Medal for her service to the community in placing and supporting more than 300 families and their relatives for over 20 years.

Both Yogananda and the Dalai Lama were tremendously fond of their own mothers. The death of his own mother led Yogananda in his search for Divine Mother and the Dalai Lama constantly refers to the world needing the care and affection of mothers for their children in order to understand true compassion.

When God created this universe, there were two aspects which held all energies in balance, the divine masculine and the feminine.

Yogananda also referred to mothers being God as Divine Mother, watching over humanity, through the caring heart of a mother. No matter what a child has done a mother always forgives, and it is with that caring heart that we compassionately interact with all human beings.

How can we do this practically? How can we create spaces for stillness?

Divine Mother does not judge. She looks to our needs.

We can be Divine Mothers for others in a similar way.

BEING DIVINE MOTHER – COMPASSION AND NON-JUDGEMENT

A simple example is by looking at our judgements. Through compassion we can translate our judgments into needs and then connections. This is like the deep listening of our Mother Guan Yin. The listening power of deep empathy. Let’s take an example. Most of our agitation in life comes from a need for deeper connection. Lets say someone says something we really don’t like. They might talk about someone else as stupid or impulsive or something else. Our dislike creates a reaction and often we drop into judgment too. Yeah you’re right! Or How could you think that? Now when we feel that energy of judgement which is usually preceded by agitation or discomfort, if we are aware enough we can notice the agitated energy which is a signal we are disconnecting from our compassion. It happens to me quite often, especially when I am driving! However I am getting better at checking in with myself. I want more connection and understanding. In a conversation with someone, rather than dropping into judgement I can focus on my needs for connection and understanding and ask the person why they don’t understand. Recently I had a situation in business where I wanted more inclusion and clarity so I was very direct with the person. When we are aware we can slow the conversation and our own thoughts down, moving towards stillness and let the thoughts ideas and judgments drop away so that clarity insight and inclusion can arise.

This is the power of empathy, the deep listening of Guan Yin and the caring and kindness of Divine Mother.

In the split second we are able to notice our judgements and shift our focus to our needs for connection and clarity, great insight, an AHA, can arise and the whole situation can be transformed and life can be deeply wonderful.

You become the watcher, the witness, the observing presence, the I AM Presence in the Light of Consciousness.

If you can practice this you can bring all your unconscious judgments into the Light of Consciousness. This is the lamp, the portal into presence. Stillness in action.

Try this. Take your focus away from me and into your self, into what is going on inside of yourself right this moment. Ask yourself, what is going on inside of me? Now watch. Don’t try to analyze it, let your attention rest within. Breathe, breathing calmly helps. Feel the energy of the body, the emotions. Become very present. Open yourself to the inner energy field of presence within the body. Be very still. This is the portal of presence, the doorway into being.

Divine Mother’s Presence is this beauty joy and grace of Being. She is the Presence of stillness in your life, the gap of stillness and presence that speaks to us of wisdom. The Buddha called this the Mother of All Buddhas, prajnaparamita, perfect wisdom. If you meditate on the Heart Sutra you begin to understand the stillness of the heart. This is the greatest gift, the Chintamani Stone of meditation. When you meditate the silence speaks to you. Spirit manifests in form as the Divine Mother. That was my experience of Her in the Zen garden, the wind became Her Voice, the petals Her Skin, the light Her Face, the water Her Tears.

So give all your burdens to Divine Mother. Let Her take all your suffering. A baby has complete trust in her Mother. Let the blessing as She reaches out to you bring you closer with every breath.

KRIYA YOGA – THE PATH TO THE INFINITE

Let us meditate. Try practicing Kriya Yoga or simple breathing of light up and down the astral spine, followed by yearning for Divine Mother at the third eye followed by stillness and presence.

Close your eyes, think of God, Source, Being and give Divine Mother a call from your soul. You can do this at any time. You are my Mother, my Father my friend, I want to come Home, I want to come back to You. Then see in every face the Mother and in every eye Her eyes and in every breath Her breath. Let the world be transformed in front of your eyes. Visualise and feel that everything that appears around you is a pure buddhafield or christgrid peopled by buddhas and christs, Divine Mothers and deities.

I will leave you with the Dalai Lama’s story. He was the youngest child and as such was doted on and spoilt by his mother. She used to carry him on her shoulders. When he wanted to go somewhere he pulled her ears in the direction he wanted to go. If she didn’t obey he would kick and scream.

Such is the grace of Divine Mother. If we think we know best then she will take us where we will. Only when we learn how to surrender to the Divine Will, found in the spaces in our stillness, will we truly find the path home is as simple as riding on Her shoulders.

“Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and it is with this extraordinary state of silence.” (Krishnamurti)

PORTALS OF PRESENCE – CHAPTER 3 – EDEN – YOGA OF MEDITATION

EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK ‘PORTALS OF PRESENCE’ BY ALTAIR SHYAM

CHAPTER 3 – EDEN – YOGA OF MEDITATION – PART 1

“We need no wings to go in search of God, but have only to find a place where we can be alone and still and look upon God present within us”

(St. Teresa of Avila)

After the yoga of dreams and visions I was guided by the yoga of meditation.

When we consider the great gifts for the return home that we have been given in this precious life as human beings, one of the greatest is meditation.

Think of it this way.

How can we describe the path to the Kingdom of God Within, which we can reach through stillness in meditation?

It is like a grain of mustard seed, this silence and stillness, which we all have access to, every moment, and which we can sow through deep presence in the field of our heart.

It is smaller than all the other seeds we sow on earth, such as desire for wealth or fame, yet it can touch the immeasurable.

It becomes greater than all the gold and jewels in the world and becomes a tree of life, for its branches spread with love and kindness and compassion to remind us of the bodhisattvas, angels and masters within, that we all are.

As divine light beings we are an integral part of the cosmos and God’s plan, and yet when we arrive on earth in a physical body it can be a strange adjustment. We can feel out of place, lonely and unaccustomed to the new elements and feelings, the fears that arise and the separation.

Yet in all this, deep inside our sacred heart we know a divine truth.

We have been given a secret.

A simple one, to guide our path of pathlessness.

“Be still and know God within.” (Psalm 46:10)

We are composed of consciousness and life force, which flow through the spine and nerves and can be directed outwardly or inwardly. 

  When our attention, which acts as the conductor of both consciousness and life force, is directed outwards, we find our powers are concentrated on the external world and matter. 

  When our attention is focused inwards on the point of divine perception at the Ajna chakra or space between the eyebrows, our powers are concentrated on the spiritual eye and the inner realms of divine consciousness. 

 We have studied with many Masters of Meditation, Jesus and the Buddha, Mary Magdalene and Guan Yin, Yogananda and the Dalai Lama and many others. 

 With deep devotion it is not necessary to have the Master in the flesh. Just as our current age has progressed technologically into physical communication methods that allow us to reach across the world with the internet, so the souls incarnating are sufficiently advanced in esoteric communication methods to navigate the Christ Grids and Buddha Fields to receive initiations and activations and transmissions that we are attuned to. 

 The Dalai Lama, for example, has assured pilgrims in the past that they will still receive their Kalachakra empowerment through the power of their faith, prayers and devotion. “Distance cannot dampen the sacred ties between a lama and a disciple. You can all pray from the far-flung areas in Tibet and I assure you that you will receive the Kalachakra empowerment,” he was quoted as having told them. “From the Kalachakra ground, I will keep the Tibetans inside Tibet in my deepest prayers.”

Kalachakra, or the Wheel of Time empowerment, prepares devotees to be reborn in Shambhala, a celestial kingdom which will vanquish the forces of evil in a future cosmic battle.

Just as the Dalai Lama said it is by the power of faith, prayers and devotion that we receive empowerment, in the same way Yogananda said, by the right method of devotion and meditation we open the gates of Heaven. When we are focused and still and the breath and mind are calm, a light begins to form at the third eye area. This light becomes the spiritual eye with deep concentration.  Like any doorway, the spiritual eye, once we learn how to open it and enter it, allows us to surrender the consciousness into worlds of other dimensions. It is through this light, the gold light that we perceive the Holy Spirit, the blue light of the Christ Consciousness that we perceive the angels and saints, deities and Masters, and the white light that we enter cosmic consciousness and ascend to God the Father and Mother.

THE UNIVERSAL PORTAL – LOVE IS THE ANSWER

THE UNIVERSAL PORTAL – LOVE IS THE ANSWER

This week I have been feeling very sensitive, vulnerable and extraordinarily tender.

I have been listening deeply to the sounds of the world, and like Our Mother of Compassion Avalokiteshvara/Chenrezig/Kannon-sama/Guan Yin who also embodies the same love and compassion of Mother Mary, I have become a universal gate and my heart has been aching as I opened to all kinds of situations of suffering.

I contemplated deeply the energies of our world, how everyone I meet is a Buddha or Guan Yin, a Christ or Mary Magdalene and how simple it is to see that, yet so often when our heart is less than open and our mind full of distractions, we throw up all sorts of reasons not to hear the sounds of the world, where no matter what the situation, love is the answer.

When you consider what is happening to us here and now we are taking on many of the qualities of Guan Yin or Mother Mary in our current evolution and incarnation.

The beautiful name of Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin Bodhisattva means a universal door, a universal portal, that can respond to the needs of any being and any circumstance, covering all ground, time and space.

Now, with the reach and capabilities of the internet and technology, used with wisdom, we are capable of reaching out and touching more people in beneficial ways, in even the remotest places, than ever before.

We are able to transcend certain aspects of time and space in this supreme action, to benefit other sentient beings and help them awaken.

I met with a wonderful friend Ranga Premaratna this week who always reminds me of what it must be like to meet the Buddha.

He is a Master Healer, a divine alchemist, like Tareth and he is the lineage-holder of Reiki Jin Kei Do.

We could meet and reach out and help each other in the physical as well as online tonight.

We could be a universal gate for each other.

The Universal Gate is all about us looking deeply into the ultimate nature of reality (which I will explore with you in the next post ’ The Lotus Born Bliss Drop In The Unsurpassable Secret Mantra’) and attaining the insight that liberates us from all suffering.

It is more often than not, simple love and kindness.

Being present and there when another human being needs you.

Saying “I am really here for you.”

When you consider what we can pass on to others, here and now, by being present for their needs through this medium we call the internet, we are tapping in to divine communication when used correctly.

It allows us to be explore the past present and future together through codes and Terma, Thangka and yantra, mantra and Light Language.

We open portals for others with a frequency and a reach far beyond what was possible even 20 years ago.

Activations, transmissions and empowerments are available for those with pure intention and deep devotion, and the energy, consciousness and information that is flowing along these pathways is mirrored in so many other areas.

The awareness of the need for unity consciousness is fueling movements in education like maker empowerment for example and in physics like the Grand Unification Theory.

We, like Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin are beginning to understand the many different expressions of living beings, and like a mother with the affection for a child, hear the vibration of the sound, the sound of the world, and help awaken all beings we come in touch with to their True Self, the Buddha or Christ Nature within.

We rest in the three states, where all external and internal appearances are equal and unwavering, so even adversities arise as friends, where the body rests without searching or chasing things to do, so no deluded thoughts arise and the mind is still mounted on the wind dragon (sacred breath) so thoughts cannot arise.

Then our environment arises as a Pure Land, our body dissolves into Light and our thoughts naturally come to a halt.

We become certain of the Path.

We know that visions and experiences are important, but far more important right now is awakening all beings to their True Self.

If we try to “liberate” others ourself we get caught in the chain of suffering. When we remember to allow the Hand of Our Father and the Heart of Our Mother of Compassion to take charge All is fulfilled in an instant.

I sometimes fail to remember and then for a day or so get caught in an individual or groups suffering.

I am learning all the time.

I offer help and then get out of the way.

Allow Her to take charge by connecting All I meet deeply to Her Heart.

For example I am speaking to many people right now who all want guidance in their path or healing.

If I ask just the right questions and listen to another person’s energies and heart closely enough, be still and then allow the Light to enter us both and allow others to see it for themselves, the Mother of Compassion will help all of us through Grace hit an ‘Aha’ moment where all the answers to our questions open up for us, we get re-empowered and can step out on our path again with confidence.

We all see that through the practice of stopping (shamatha) and looking deeply (vipassana) we attain freedom from suffering, and that in that stillness of being we can reach out to others to help them to concentrate, be calm and stop to feel their infinite Self and look deeply into whatever is arising right now.

Presence.

The power of being.

Love.

Compassion.

This is the mantra of the Heart Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Sutra, the Sutra of the Blessed Mother.

Love and compassion.

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 miracle of the fire and bliss of Divine Love and Compassion and light the Light within you.

Love and soul blessings

USING LIGHT LANGUAGE TO OPEN PORTALS

guan-yin-buddha-child

USING LIGHT LANGUAGE TO OPEN PORTALS

ALCHEMY OF WINDS, AIR AND BREATHING – PART 2

The ten shaktis or empowerments we discussed in Part 1 have ten symbols, which open ten portals.

They are light language, called seed syllables.

Here is a simple way to practice opening the portals.

I will use as an example, the Fire Shakti empowerment.

Adopt a simple relaxed posture with your spine straight.

As you read this, and sit or lie straight, begin to breathe.

“Breathing in, I am aware of the Light Language within me

Breathing out, I manifest the Light Language in my Heart”

Devote yourself to the Guru within or without, Lama, Angelic Being, Bodhisattva, Elder or whatever you wish to dedicate your path of pathlessness to.

Visualise in front of you a light sphere, like the full moon, about the size of a pea.

On it is written the letter ‘a’ in the colours of the rainbow as finely written as if on a hair.

The symbol for the letter ‘a’ looks like this in sanskrit

(in Siddham – the script of the Siddhas)

 a1

or like this in Tibetan

a-tibetan-a

or your heart may reveal its own symbol.

Remember, “You are the Master”.

Focus your mind without distraction on the ‘a’

If a thought arises, recognise it through mindfulness and return to focusing on the ‘a’

If your consciousness becomes drowsy visualise the sphere blazing with light and the ‘a’ as a bright glittering letter

If your consciousness becomes distracted imagine the ‘a’ as very vivid dark blue.

Once you become accustomed to this letter visualise others like OM

om-150

or AUM

aum-100

or any other Light Seed Syllable corresponding to your path.

Light Language is the essence of your True Self’s body, voice, heart and mind.

Once you can visualise this Light Syllable constantly, try visualising a mantra of seed syllables or Light Language circulating around it. This could be a rosary of a mantra, prayer or chant or a visual symbol.

This is OM MANI PADME HUM as an example. 

om-mani-padme-hum

It can be much simpler, like a visual symbol of this mantra, if you identify with it, like jewels of purity, wisdom and unity circling the Light Syllable OM.

Once you can do that with clarity, embed the seed syllable in your heart and rotate the mantra around your heart.

Once this practice is stabilised, visualise yourself as the deity of your choice, like Guan Yin, or Christ, or Buddha, or Mary Magdalene while focusing your attention on the Light Language in your Heart surrounded by the rotating mantra, prayer or chant, or visual symbol.

When you have a moment after a cup of tea during your busy day do let me know what you experience or discover.

The Breath inside the breath, the Heart inside the heart

Guan Yin Blue Light

I dreamed a group of us were opening physical light portals in the earth.

We did this by a group of us going to a Sacred Place, co-creating the intention and then working together.

We did this using the breath.

As we breathed, we breathed the Light WITHIN the breath into the crystal we held which was touching the earth.

This opened gateways or ‘terma’ in Tibetan which had previously been alchemically sealed by the Elders.

We said the following invocation in Light Language, fully understanding and SEEING it unfold.

“The Breath inside the breath

The Word inside the word

The Light inside the light”

As we said this, where we knelt, connecting our crystal to the earth, a portal opened, a circular mandala around us, with 10 symbols glowing.

With each breath, we breathed the Light into the symbols one by one in a clockwise rotation, until like a key unlocking a lock, the portal opened and the Light was allowed to enter and emerge as ONE.

The dream was very clear. 

When I awoke, about 1am, I wrote these words.

What is God, Source, Love?

The Breath inside the breath

The Word inside the word

The Light inside the light

The World inside the world.

The Sound inside the sound.

The Heart inside the heart.

In the body IS the Body of Christ

For the breath became the word and the word was made flesh (body)

Breath Word Light Body

I then went back to sleep and into the dream again. We were all standing, speaking quietly, BEING with the Work we had done.

Love and Light always

Simple Guide to Opening Portals – Manjushri and the Blue Lion Gate

Manjushri Blue Lion

Simple Guide to Opening Portals – Manjushri and the Blue Lion Gate

Monday 8th August

Today my wife and I visited a temple which honors Manjushri and the Light Family of Maitreya, Buddha, Saraswati and Guan Yin.

We also visited the place which houses one of only two complete libraries of Tibetan Buddhist Sutras and Tantras in the world, one in Japan and one in Tibet.

Manjushri, is very symbolic for these Lion Gate energies of today the 8th August as He is the embodiment of the Wisdom of the Portal of the Infinite Self, seen here riding on a Blue Lion, the connection to Sirius.

So how do we open portals?

The Higher Self is the Key.

Wisdom and devotion.

So I will provide you with a practical ‘technique’ you can use.

It is one you already know, so I am sharing with you your Higher Self knowledge.

This is an Old Way.

It is a Soul Signature. Just as you have soul signatures, symbols of Light and Sounds from Source that ‘activate’ wisdom within you because you resonate with them, so Portals have ‘soul signatures’ and consciousness, like our sun, that can activate wisdom in the earth or in the galactic spiral or beyond. It can be a physical place on the earth such as sacred spaces in Glastonbury or it can be a space in another part of our galaxy or another dimension.

It can also, just as importantly, be ourself.

These are ancient pathways.

They help us liberate ourselves to access the formless realms of Being, the invisible Source of ALL.

The ancient Tibetans used Light Language and symbols, ten in all, to access the timeless paths of Our Own Being.

I will share with you Manjushri and the Blue Lion Gate.

The ten bhumis or gates to open the portal of the ONE SELF are encoded alchemical energies that awaken the wisdom of the earth when we deeply devote ourselves to focus on them, work with them and embed them, either in the fabric of our being or the fabric of the earth.

One will awaken the light is us, the other will awaken the light in the earth.

Ultimately they work together to do both.

As you have seen from Zilla’s magnificent sharing, the awakening of a portal is a real experience that can be seen physically and is manifested by a group activating the portal consciously. Tareth’s mastery with portals is an example of what you are capable of doing with your Higher Self.

The activation of a portal, whether individual, or collective, on earth or other worlds is preceded by centering yourself.

Presence is crucial. It is only in the realm of silence and stillness that you become open to the light, allow it to enter. The Source energies are not separate from you but are part of the fabric of your being.

You are awakening them now as we share together.

As you read this you may start to sense a buzz, or chakra movement or new feelings stirring within your solar plexus or heart or itching on the crown.

Centre yourself in your most natural way, through meditation, nature, connection with the earth, mantra, mudra or absolute stillness.

Take your attention deeply into the inner energy body.

Feel it flow into the world within which contains all worlds. The stillness inside those worlds.

The portal is opening.

Invite your Light Family to fill you. They are assisting you every moment. Now you are very aware of this help.

Become one with your SELF, the earth, your Light Family, the stillness at the centre of all worlds.

Now, from this stillness you are going to work with the ten Tibetan alchemical symbols for opening the portal of the Divine Self.

They form a mandala, a circle, the entire cosmos within you.

As I share them with you I encourage you to write them down, simply, in your own words, with devotion.

Key 1 – The Joyous Self at Origin – pure faith

Key 2 – Universal Monarchs or Sovereigns – pure energy on the path

Key 3 – The Light Maker – the ONE Flame burns within us all – pure Oneness

Key 4 – The Radiant Harmonizer of All Dimensions – pure concentration and seeing into all dimensions

Key 5 – Master of Stability – pure foundation on the path

Key 6 – The Manifest – pure wisdom

Key 7 – One Gone Far – pure perception of worlds and other lives

Key 8 – Immovable Signs – pure astrology of your Light Family within – connecting with the ‘significant’ Light Beings (the ones most primary upon your consciousness)

Key 9 – Magic of the Star Worlds – connecting with the primary home world – this traditionally was with Sirius or Pleiades and other worlds for Dragon Beings (Naga)

Key 10 – The Circle of Being – the completion of the Circle of Ten and the emergence of the new world and the new cycle of ten

Now you are going to activate them within yourself.

This could take you a matter of hours or days, depending on how you work with your Higher Self and the energies you activate within.

My recommendation would be to take several days getting used to them and making divine friends with them. New energies may spontaneously arise as you dive deep within the Manifest and then the Unmanifest and return each time to the Manifest. Take it at your own pace. Keep a journal. Write out your experiences and share them with us. The Lion’s Gate energies are not just on the 8th August but form a cosmos or sphere of energies around us working timelessly across dimensions.

You will not be the same person you were before you started reading this.

You will glimpse a reality within yourself that is not of this world.

You are a bridge between the Unmanifest and the Manifest, between the Source and your self.

This bridge is living in the light, enlightenment.

To activate the keys is the same practice as for deity yoga.

You are going to invite these energies to arise spontaneously within you.

The ten symbols accompanying the ten keys are shown below.

Cosmic Door

These ten symbols taken together are the magical alchemical Cosmic Door, the Lion’s Centre, the entry to worlds.

Through NADA the Cosmic Sound in the center of the stillness of Presence,  the “I AM THAT I AM” is activated.

Each of these symbols also represents a prana or wind.

Prana is the all pervading energy in the cosmos, the Cosmic Mother’s Breath, and it also means God-Self.

Prana is the RECEIVING POWER.

The simplest way to activate these energies is to use your breath.

Look at the symbols.

As you look, beginning with the symbol at the very top and moving clockwise around to your right visualize the symbol entering your heart and filling your radiant spine with light. Breathe it into your heart. Breathe it up your spine and into the third eye.

Then using your crystal place your crystal in your left hand then place it on the symbol and breathe it into the crystal. Then place your crystal on your heart and breathe the symbol into your heart.

Do this with each symbol allowing the Cosmic Mother to guide your intention.

Don’t worry too much about getting this ‘right’, don’t analyze it or try to work out too much. Let your Higher Self guide you.

Focus on your intention and devotion.

The intention to liberate and heal yourself first so that you may liberate and  heal all beings.

The devotion to the Cosmic Mother and Father, to the Source Energy in us ALL.

Keep working with the energies of the portal you open and share what you discover.

Many of you may discover your own Light Language, Source Sounds or Soul Symbols evolving out of this so please honor that process and allow yourself to walk YOUR Path with Heart.

Love and soul blessings
