Now, it is the e-magazine, Spiritual Lounge!

Yes, with gratitude and glee, and with many more feelings yearning to flee, share the December  2014 issue of the e-magazine, Spiritual Lounge, blessed to be a part of, since December 2011. And though this issue is the last issue of the magazine, the website continues to be, inviting contributions from all, as the journey real, the inner journey, for one and all, continues....
Also, acknowledge, forever, the fact and the grace: That, it is the first magazine that accepted and presented the opportunity to share the "presentations from within..."  
So, lounge, while you go through the magazine—http://spirituallounge.com—as the inner journey, realizing the purpose and thus, the process, guides also to realize that life is a spiritual lounge, presenting the opportunities to create and re-create (as Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch conveys...) one's own self, re-defining and refining, realizing the spiritual self, the divine self...the unique expression of the Divine, created to express and be just that...That It Is...in and as one...guiding one and all, always and all the way....

Present, in present

Present to the moment, present in the moment, absent is the presence in the past, propelled by enlivening events and moments, that as experiences last, not as a binding but as a propellant, letting go of the past, living in the present, enriched by that which has passed, and that, which, one has surpassed....

(Acknowledged is a sharing by "Spirituality Fountain," on Facebook, a nugget of wisdom, Eckhart Tolle's, which serves as a catalyst for the presented.)

Raising a toast...


To provoke or invoke (depends on how one sees it, all contextual and perceptual) a query, is to invoke and incite an insight, an answer, which we know not we know, till we sight them as an insight (inside, and thus, named!), when entering into the explanation that a query beseeches.... And as comes up the sighted and is cited, realized is, again and again, anything and everything comes up in infinite ways, and could it be otherwise, when at source, every thing and being is infinite, the Source of all, one and infinite?

Being a host to this post, is yes...attributed to a query raised, as it is that that contributes to this post, that coasted along and out, as a comment (a part shared here, though all contextual, yet, the part, standalone, too). In response to the post “Deconstructing Edifice...” a being, not getting the response from within, not understanding, graciously put forth the query as to what it alludes so, as only thus deluded, would she be able to follow it. I am thankful to her for the same, and for all, that has flowed and follows in its wake.... The explanation unfurled...that, if  the rituals, tenets that she follows, present her with the peace...trust...the sense of knowingness of being connected to God (the whole purpose of following those principles being that), presenting her with those sparks, the moments of absolute clarity...of the reality—however transient are those moments, the experience and the feelings are persistent, inciting more and more of such moments—that she is one with God, those principles are working for her, and thus, are true for her, but if they are not, they are not true for her.

And then, is unwrapped (unbeknownst), with sublime fluidity, that which comes about as the signpost, the crux of this post, raising a toast to all that is, God...our very essence...love...and thus, the reiteration eternal that unconditional love is God, that sublime feeling of requiring none and nothing else, external to one, and that, created are each and everyone, with love, by God, as God-incarnate, to realize God. Realizing unconditional love, immersing in a state of being, of absolute knowingness, is experiencing God, and thus, one’s God-self.

Here is that toast (that part of the reply), though, it came out as queries (yes, again!), to the one who put forth the initiating query:

“A simple and fundamental question: Can anyone decide for us, how we would love a person (irrespective of the domain of the relationship), and what would be the experience? When you put in a ‘should’—that, love should be experienced and expressed in only such and such ways—and try to follow it, only pain is experienced, as innately, we can feel the truth of love...and thus, what feels true, and what doesn't. Likewise, for experiencing the connectedness with God.... When a rule is set, the stage is set for allowing all, but that.... Just ponder, what is that activity that presents you with unparalleled satisfaction, a feeling of immersion in the activity, seeking nothing and none? You surely have such an activity. So, please embrace it more and more, and then, you would be led to yourself...your oneness with God, and then, you will realize what stands true for you, and what doesn't. For one, you could begin to have your own journal...that is, if you already aren't into journaling....”

And, on this note, I leave you all to ponder, on the same, as when the same is answered, nothing remains the same—satisfyingly overhauled, all is. After all, it is about deconstructing those edifices, that defy and deny life, at the core...the issue core, that, unanswered, has been corroding life and times till there is nothing more to corrode and erode and erase, save that, which has been behind the corrosion. The unconditional is realized by coming out of the conditional inputs....

Thus, is raised a toast, to love...God...that erases the erosive, dissolves the corrosive, healing all with Its unconditional love—all-pervasive, all-accepting—none deemed abusive, all hailed as one of Its own, on a journey of realization, to and through which It guides, all the way. That is Its eternal, unwavering word...that is the purpose of life in physical form, which, It facilitates through the process of life...all the way!

So here is to our essence of being, love, God, for which, all that there is, is...!

Sharing the e-magazine imantra

Grateful to be a part of the 8th issue of the e-magazine imantra, and sharing, likewise, the links: http://www.imantra.org/issue-8/issue-8.html andhttp://www.imantra.org/

The website and the magazine—in fact, all the 8 issues—behold and uphold the magnanimity of life, and how imantra's mission and vision is merged with mantra of life, and endeavors to lead all to same. Once, that is known, nothing remains the same, wonderfully overhauled as all is, transformed, as one is, inside out, journeying within to journey without, finding one's core, and allowing it to come to the fore, as, being the core, lies at the core, as the principle principal of living a fulfilling life, as that is the purpose sole, living as the soul, the core, realized, oneness with the Source realized.... And this, inevitably, sends out healing, in myriad ways, from within to without, life, individual as well as collective, all, a part of the whole, and whole in one's own self....

Deconstructing edifice...


What a respite, deconstructing the edifice of the conditioned mind, provides, despite the concomitant jarring and rubbles that one has to wade through. As the realities, of being, the truth of one’s being, the existence behind existence, eternal, are experienced, the subjective is seen through, the objective truths leading to and through one’s objective, purpose of and in life. Then, one’s own experiences suffice, and solely resorted to, instead of consorting with what the “described” and “prescribed” experiences should be, chipping of, gradually but assuredly—reluctantly to begin with, but then, spontaneously—the momentum picking up by the moment, the edifice of norms and conventions that bind the experiences as “normal” and “abnormal,” “right” and blasphemous... Blasted are those edifices, and it is a blasting that is calming, the hammering, of the inner voice, feeling the truth of feelings, heard and adhered....

A state of ecstasy, even if momentary, watering the eyes spontaneously, and at the same time, glistening with joy, the droplets of tears let out, drop as pearls of bliss...face alight with an ear-to-ear smile, a warmth filling all cells of being, and overflowing...all, experienced...the contrasting expressions, all at once, is that ultimate truth of connection, with one’s Source of being...Its love.... A moment of such experience dissolves all torments, in a moment.... So what, if the activity that brought it on is not something which is documented...that, which doesn’t belong to the "normal" definition of prayer or the prescribed rituals? It could be anything; even a light breeze caressing the cheeks, could provide the sublime feeling of emancipation and completion, feeling one’s completion within, the whole that one is....

How, one would connect with the Source, how should one love...are the primal urgencies, yearning intrinsic, and they find themselves bound in many principles, yet, the Source and love, one, unconditional love, is boundless.... And thus, the sole aspect, that guides the whole of life and living, as there is nothing else, It being all that there is. And in trying to guide one to one’s existence, the existential truth, one’s very being, through external means, meaning of being and divine, accessed is anything but that. The edifices that have been constructed, eons back—and for which, humanity has been serving as peons, mindlessly—have sufficiently and efficiently, constructed confusions unbound, albeit, ignorantly, and not a bit of it, but with an immensity that finds the perplexity of humanity at its zenith, and likewise manifestations....

Creating edifices, and choking the natural expressions of the Divine, our very essence, binding it in labels, at various levels, no wonder, would create disabilities, and that it has, and quite successfully. And yet, it is the magnanimity of the force, that, untiring, blasts through, judging none, claiming nothing, simply affirming, gently, all has been due to ignorance, and time is now, like never before, to bring about this holy deconstruction of all edifices that have been blocking the flow of life, from within to without, creating fibrillations of discord instead of the reverberations of harmony for which creation got created.... Like never before, humanity is being called out to connect with the reality of being human...depending wholly and solely on one’s holy self, whole...wholesome...and see the same holiness in all, which is possible, only when all dogmas...conventions...these walls are deconstructed, reconstructing life in and as its full holiness, each moment holy...each breath a prayer...life a pilgrimage of realizing one’s divinity, individually, and facilitating the same collectively...a thanksgiving....

Yes...difficult it is to come out of those constructs, edifices of eons...perceiving them to have been functional.... Yet, at the core, any construct, that perceives and propagates a separation between the self and the Source, builds a wall, has to be brought down, to bring oneself to life, fully, truly.... Such a construct, which bears the seed destructive, creating an impression of separation from God, and thus inflicting depression, calls for destruction, deconstruction...for the resurrection...and such a situation, thus, arises, bringing down all the edifices in the mind, a revolt within, manifesting as one without, and hence, revolutions....

Standing on the precipice, finding the edifices of eons bringing down the whole of creation into pieces, departing from the bliss, peace with which creation intrinsically is encoded, as individuals start decoding the same, accessing the master key, self-awareness, evolution constant, as self-referral is constantly on, everything starts falling into its place, by felling all that which blocks the place. Hence, evolution, revolutionary intrinsically, brings down the edifices that threaten to bring down the boundless edifice of life, deconstructing the edifice superficial....  


When something crumbles, tumbles and fumbles, accompanies the rumble. But, instead of grumble as the response, it is better to know why happens, what happens, so that it won’t happen again—if we do not wish it to happen. As the process of life humbles, it guides to stand up and tall, the armor of self-awareness impenetrable, knowing, that which isn’t functional, has to give way, even if that way is initially experienced as jarring, as follows the healing comprehensive. Well, standing on the precipice, life leads, from within to without, to this recipe sole, deconstructing to reconstruct...for realizing the whole, wholesome, holy that life is, beginning with self...whole in itself, and a part unique of the whole...of creation, resurrected, realized!
