Finding Fulfillment

If you were given everything…

All possibilities…

Anything you desired…

What would you do?

What would you accomplish?

Who would you Be?

What is your Fulfillment in Life and how would you find it?

 

We have been creating this Universe for eons, a countless roll of time. It is woven of our thoughts, our desires, our creation of who we want to be.

To find fulfillment, we must look where it already exists. We must become Masters of ourselves. Then the doors lie open to discover the endless depth of our souls, lying bare on the pristine beauty and Love of the Inner Glory.

There is no way out but through. The way through is our fulfillment.

 

Spirituality is another word for Clarity. Yoga is the science of clarity. Through it we purify and simplify our bodymind, so as to notice, quicken and enjoy the Glory of that which radiates from within.

Then we create, we look around, we interact. All because of Love – which wears so many faces and so many emotions. This is Relationship and this is what this book is about – finding and cultivating Divine Relationship as fulfillment.

 

The inner art of Relationship is the Oneness. Life is simple when we acknowledge it as so; this simple understanding brings us an inner experience of relationship.

The inner dance may be termed through the sound "Tantra." This word can evoke emotion, it can evoke passion, it can evoke Love, it translates as the Oneness of our experience. Becoming totally consumed in the intensity of our Dance – the grandeur and beauty of our soul as us – frees us beyond the confines of intellect and need – we just ecstatically dance.

 

Thus this book, to be a Tantra, to be of any real meaning must evoke something inside you. If this invocation forth awareness within of what is Eternal.

The Eternal Love song of the Soul is the one thing in life that can never be compromised. Yet it is the one most compromised experience on our planet today. How is it then that we do so?

 

When we are hard on ourselves, when we hurt one another, when we ignore the feeling of what is our highest good for the feeling of grosser desire. When we doubt that we, as spirit, even exist, that it is all a chemical factory. How can the Eternal Love Song of the Soul blossom forth its fulfillment?

The song heard on countless radios, reflected in endless mirrors, is one of compromise. It says – Lay low thought which brings you no bread – Find satisfaction through amplification of the senses – Drown out the body’s feedback of revolt.

 

Yet every thought lives and lives and lives forever – forever awaiting its completion into something good, something beautiful, something which can be enjoyed and said to be the creation of a God.

Having wrapped ourselves in the Universe of our desires, we forget to desire any more that which has real meaning.

 

Thus it has become natural, and rightly so, for effective Spiritual growth to focus at first on enhancing the aliveness of inwardly felt Clarity through Self Responsive Application.

Spiritual growth burns the candle from both ends at once. From one end of the candle we face up to our limitations, see how they have served us and overcome them.

From the other end of the candle we acknowledge only our Eternal Perfection. All else is but shadow ignorantly cast by not seeing this Perfection. Eventually the shadow disappears and all is Light.

 

Tantra

When awakening within the body temple, physicality becomes more than just physical. What is solid speaks, has feeling, responds to your sight, to your voice and to your being. Indeed, the veils of separation between visible and invisible wear thin. How glorious your body of flesh and blood, this temple housing dazzling jewels and glorious kings. What limit is there to the glorious body temple generated from the solidified light of enlightened consciousness? Then the bodily atoms are experienced as pure bliss personified, each atom itself being an all-seeing eye of your Divine essence. The very atoms of your body congeal as the Light of your Eternal Presence.
      When you, as physicality, become empty of anything but you as spirit, then you are free, as the bird soaring upon the wind, the dolphin jumping in delight, the sun shinning every day – every moment a joy!
      Your body is not some inert pile of mud with intellect and emotions temporarily enlivening it. Your body is a manifestation of You, reflected in your totality, even this very moment. You, as spirit, are not bound to anything which does not serve your true expression. Your body, when owned by Perfection, is a manifest display of your Christed freedom. The body becomes a personal application to hone the creative power of unlimited possibility. The body becomes an antenna to sense and broadcast conditions within the world of form. The body becomes a way to consort with the Mother of all creation, to experience her Love and her Grace. The body becomes a playground, sacred and wondrous. The body becomes a wave riding on the infinite spirit, which is free to feel itself as body, or to dive deep within the formless ocean of itself.
      Why settle for so little? Why spiritually ignore the body temple? Understand that there is a reason for physical creation that is far superior to explaining it as a fall from heaven, a gross and dense level of existence, or a source of suffering to be transcended. Physical creation was not intended as a place for selfish beings to live in a self-created hell, bound by self-created obsessions, ignorant of the true Self.
      The Light of creation which becomes the physical substance of your body is a tremendous compaction of energy, containing a tremendous potential to bring forth your realization of Self as Godhead, as the radiant origin, a center, a unique facet of the inseparable Oneness. This is the full, infinite, unending, blissful and supremely still realization of Tantra. This is the knowledge which forever frees you from the delusion of matter as inert and not of yourself, into the playground of awakened awareness within the Oneness. This vast and perfect play of the Goddess is simply and indescribably the One Being.

To really apply yourself in yogic practice, you must establish yourself in non-dual nature.

Non-dual nature is getting there by being there. For example, say you want clarification or guidance on some concern and go within for this purpose. If your mind is in a question mode, a "what if" mode, then you are open to all sorts of frequencies. Your mind could manufacture what you want to hear, or some influence in left field could say what it wants.
      The non-dual approach is to first establish yourself in clarity, then expand your knowingness to understand the answer. Thus you first decree, "I AM Clarity." "I AM the clarity of whatever I want to know." However long it takes to establish this feeling, this alignment within yourself, is the inner work necessary to receive the knowingness of your answer.
      In meditation practice, non-dual nature does not seek with the mind. In a chant, you are not trying to put together the meaning of the mantra, rather, you are deepening your vibratory presence with the mantra in a nonverbal centering. Yoga practice is thus a deepening of being there.
      In non-dual nature you do not look to the techniques as your liberation, rather you simply use them to deepen your already known Presence. This simple understanding has very profound ramifications. Surprising as it may seem, many on the yogic path seem to miss it.

Obtaining a higher perspective requires doing the inner work. For those who do not want to apply themselves, the time is not yet. There is no mystery to this.

God is the Power of Oneness

 

***

Energizing your spine is the difference between night and day. It is like turning on the light where there was darkness. It is the power backing you to achieve what you set out to do. It is awakening to the reality that there are subtle worlds within worlds, centered within your body, that you are a part of those worlds. Awakening fully in the spine gives the ability to touch all the elemental qualities that make up your body.

 

***

The containment, circulation and refining of sexual vitality tangibly fuses the intelligent and transforming presence of your soul into every cell of the body.

***

You will never gain your victory by settling for second best. The tremendous pull of sexuality which locks people into particular ways of compromise must be overcome. The whole purpose of red tantra is to bring forth a higher equilibrium, whereby you are free of the pulls of duality, ever residing in the effortless self-radiant bliss.

 

***

Man and woman each pass through several plateaus during tantric lovemaking. In each plateau there is a buildup of energy that must be assimilated if his seed is to be contained and the energy circulated. It is important to move slowly and work together. It takes practice. Remember that the principle of red tantra is not to lose yourself in a few wild moments, but to build the strength of a continuity of awareness.

***

Soma is a delicate substance, spanning the range from very slight to consuming, from ethereal to quite tangible, even capable of sustaining life in the body. It is felt as spirit-fire, or spirit-essence. Until the body is raised to a higher vibratory level, the delicate soma energy simply evaporates as quickly as it forms.

 

Emotion

Emotions are the soul feeling itself within creation

***

Consciousness, prior to content, is what we eternally are. It is our soul which is the ability to feel. In our essence, what we feel is our Presence, our radiance. Stop for a moment and connect to yourself as pure radiant consciousness.
      This continual consciousness is clothed with the specifics of our awareness, such as images, feelings and mental qualifications. These qualities, clothing our primal radiance, make up the entire universe. Everything is emotion. Trees, rocks, people, thoughts, atoms, everything of this universe is created from the blissful power of emotion, the form of image and the qualification of its existence. Yet this refined emotional view often goes unfelt and unrealized.

***

It is almost universally agreed that to grow spiritually, one must serve the greater picture. Many equate service as a discipline, as a chore, as a gathering of karmic points, as a way of burning out karmic resistance. All this has some truth, yet it misses the greatest truth of what service is. SERVICE IS SIMPLY AWAKENED LOVE.
      An awakened being cannot run away from service, no matter how hard they try. A person full of self-denial cannot serve, no matter how hard they try. The pull of compassion is beyond the intellect, it is the force of Love inside you expressing the One Being through You. First purify yourself; then, you will be of service through your own excellence finding expression via your natural disposition. Service is simply your providence, the fabric of your soul creation and your love creating movement through free expression.

***

Without the willingness to feel, you can never awaken to your Perfection. That which is awake, that which feels, is your Soul. Even in a semiconscious, toxic and confused existence, still it is the soul-driven spirit which penetrates through and feels. As long as you can feel anything within a certain environment, within your body, then your soul is to some degree incarnate in that experience.
      Your Soul, as an individualization, is the power of qualification. Realizing this and using it without limit, is self-realization. Liberation is the full application of this realization into self-clarity, which results in the ability to feel the inherent God-given Perfection within your Soul and qualify your awareness as such.

 

Emotions and the Tattvas

Anger is a great medium to move stuck energy. This is fire and anger is but one of its flames. Fire also gives us greater intelligence, quickness and, properly channeled, radiance.
      When anger is used to call upon, generate or vent the fire element, we have truly forgotten ourselves. Through the sadhana of becoming conscious, which includes meditation, self control and emotional healing, you learn to seat your fire deep, deep inside where it is fed by spirit; thus it is strong, even and directed wisely. It is not dependent upon outer drama to feed its flames. When brought to such a deep place, it literally lights up the inner spaces of your journey, supporting your inner wakefulness. When you need to call on forcefully for outer use, you are able to quickly bring it back in balance.

 

I Am the Self Cleansing Power

Self-cleansing and healing is everyone’s birthright and is only relinquished by losing touch with our purity. We have the capacity at any time to breathe, to focus our mind, to elevate our energy, to harmonize and re-create ourselves. We each choose our direction; if spiritual growth is your chosen direction, vast internal clarity is valued above any compromised state.
      Willingness to become spiritually responsive (self-responsible) is and always has been the most important element of self-mastery. Techniques are secondary and made available following this first self-initiated stance.

***

Right this moment; smile. Take command of your energy by qualifying your presence as a delight. Free yourself of limiting images and make a firm decision to feel, experience and re-create yourself in a greater light. By choosing an elevated response in place of every reactive temptation or depressive mood, you break the binding chain of ignorance and remain in your divine presence.
      Dynamic yoga and meditation gives you extra voltage to make this easier. The subtle becomes tangible in the joy of a responsive body. You need this strength of pure identity before you can blend, consciously, in the higher tantras.
      Start by applying yourself wherever you are. Always remain in this magical act of willingness and you can rewrite your destiny. Dynamic techniques using the body, breath, sound and visualization are immensely practical, because you can begin even if your mind is full of unruly thought and your body is weak, provided you have the willingness to keep going. You will get stronger in the course of practice. This yoga is not something you get ready to do next year – begin now!

Pranayam for Sensitivity

Sit with a straight spine. Hold the hands in front of the chest in fists, except for the index fingers which are straight. The right palm faces down and the left palm up as the right index finger is placed on top of the left index finger, crossing in the middle segment. Keep a light touch, so that the knuckles do not get sore.
      Inhale long and deep through the nose. Exhale, slowly, through puckered lips, directing the breath at the tips of the index fingers, taking about fifteen seconds to exhale all the breath out. Feel a tingling at the fingertips. Yawning is natural as your energy is internalized. The eyes look at the crossed fingers…

 

Personal Development and Guidance

While I repeat the following, in essence, throughout the book, I will say it once more in point blank terms. You must establish a relationship with your own light in order to enter relationship with others in the Oneness. When an unaddressed neediness, covertness, or doubt in yourself comes to the fore and you are not established in your light, there is a tendency to draw on others, even subtly shaping others in the way desired to draw upon them. This does not create a comfortable relationship with others in the Oneness.
      The reasons that keep people disempowered on a subtle level can become an active resistance, suffocating the subtle energy field by taking it over and keeping it at the same level of not seeing.
      This is not necessarily the same as having difficulties. I know people in tremendous difficulty with whom I feel very comfortable sitting, physically or in the subtle body, assisting however I can in the Oneness – because on a primal level they are established in their own self-feeling. In contrast, it does not feel comfortable to sit with someone who is not established, first, in their own presence. Not only will such a person want to draw upon my light, but they will, subconsciously, want to further qualify my light to support their own limitations. As that would be at odds with my own purpose and freedom, sitting in such company feels neither comfortable nor desirable.

 

Escape or Embrace

There is no escape from the embrace each must master. There is no way out but through. Embrace life to the death of all illusion and the joy is eternal.

 

Naturally One

Whenever you sincerely say, "May the best thing happen for all concerned," at that moment you have activated your higher-mental faculties. You are the creator of your world with every thought, feeling and deed. Remember to always bring forth your guardian angel, which is your higher image of Light, by qualifying whatever you do with the highest intention.
      Just how important are the higher-mental faculties to bringing forth concrete manifestation? They are the first vehicle through which your God-Self operates in fulfilling all that you desire, in a manifestation of Perfection. The full activation, through continued use of your higher Presence, brings forth a fullness, incredibly alive refined higher emotions and the power to sustain the body through Light, literally. Physically transportable through the power of thought, it acts as the vehicle whereby the consciousness never sleeps, giving constant guidance in regard to all outer circumstance.
      The amazing power of the words "I AM" are their ability to ground awareness into all the simultaneously operating dimensions of your existence. To really understand "I," purify the feeling of yourself that is your Presence. Go very deep into your Presence, letting go of all outer senses, all the things that you have qualified "I" with in a limited framework. Remain in your simple awareness, i.e., your self-radiant Presence I AM beyond form. It is only in this way that you gain the conscious purity of your Presence whereby you can call forth "I" beyond the usual association of ego.
      Then whenever you say "I AM," you understand the qualifying power of your soul; reaching up in this way, always bring forth your image in light from above. When you stand forth without wavering in your inner conviction of the qualifying power, perfection and purity of your decree, while giving the reins and method of operation to the inner sense of higher connectivity, you are bringing into the physical body the full presence of your Soul.

 

The Empowered Man and Woman

So often the soul is said to be androgynous. To that I ask, "Then what are you?" The soul can be all things, yet here in earthly creation, each soul emphasizes its expression, developed over many lifetimes, through the definition given by a particular gender. If anyone understands the androgynous state it is the Ascended Masters, yet they are so strong and masculine, or soft and feminine, radiating from the level of pure soul, the image, in gender, they choose to be.
      The masculine and feminine image is a way of creation, of relation, of tantra, of joy. So again, enjoy your strength, your quality as a man or woman; bring what it means to be a man or woman to new heights of refinement. Within you are all things, yet in form, you are the definition you bring forth upon your wave of infinite spirit. It is a wondrous state to experience the many facets of your existence somehow mysteriously, ecstatically folded within the specifics of definition. To see the softness in strength, to smell perfume in a flower, to be enfolded in a love dance by the auric sense of subtly – oh, in your awakening, you are all things within whatever form you display. The universe is ever-connected to its entirety for those who open to it so.

***

It is all fine and good to talk about obtaining inner balance, but without the tools to create the energy and moods necessary, it is an intellectual discussion. Dynamic yoga and kriya practice are tools to create an inner balance and provide the internal voltage to overcome suppressive habits and thoughts.

***

When the fusion channel opens, heaven and earth mix and you float in a sea of ecstasy. The individual body is felt as existing within a larger infinite body. The degree of intimacy with others felt inside the core of the body is on the verge of a love affair. Such a being must choose wisely those he or she enters close friendship or sexual relationship with, because it becomes a marriage felt within.
      Those who feel uncomfortable with this intimacy, or confuse it with lust and perversion, will shut down that channel upon its first awakening. What is needed then is vulnerability, so you may bring forth and see the healings that must be.

 

The Beloved Twin Ray

To even glimpse the events leading up to the meeting of my Beloved and the time after we met would take many volumes. Our union began in earnest the path to real self-empowerment in the cosmic light of Oneness, I AM. While it was still a number of years before we gained the full victory in the Light, nevertheless the Light was truly tasted and there was no turning back.

 

The Ascended Masters

El Morya has also been known as Guru Gobind Singh of the Sikhs, Rishi Dush Daman of Hemkunt Sahib, King Arthur of the round table, one of the three wise men of the Bible, Apollo closely aligned with Jesus), the God Mercury, a mystic American-Indian woman of fathomless depth in the Dakotas of America (14th century) and Vairochana – a great Yogi who came with Padmasambhava in bringing forth to Tibet the Ati Dzogchen teachings of non-dual nature, to which we refer in this book as the I AM Presence teachings.

El Morya embodies the power of Love in his willingness to go into various situations and, with an expert hand that never flinches, brings out that which is good and beautiful. His timing is exact, knowing when to act and when to step back. In the old language – he is the…

 

Stellar Karmas

Our individual and collective resistance, ignorance and limited desires play through many levels of creation. To see is victory. To see the light is one thing. To see the darkness is quite an art.

***

In Darjeeling I was interacting with a devic being, who was one of the Cat Lords from Pleiades. He had been involved in age-old conflicts between Nepal and various border countries; his energy was often invoked by some of the magicians in the area. After a bit of toss and tussle in the eighth realm, he came forth, realizing that he would have to give up his present form to keep growing.
      For those who feel shy of change, imagine giving up a form you have had for thousands of years. The council of the Pleiadean Cat Lords have represented themselves here on earth through the line of channeled beings of Ramtha, Mafu, Ezekiel, Id, etc. and through many of the Tibetan Oracles. The Tibetans, while a mix of stellar influence as are all our nations, have a predominant Pleiadean tendency.

 

Inner Worlds of our Earth

The Mother is us! She is the collective light of all those who are a part of this planet. As an active presence, She is the activity of those who are awake within the Oneness of our planet.

***

Inside ourselves we enter the Earth. Inside the earth we find a part of ourselves.
      This earth becomes space; space becomes the grounds of earth. Now is the time for that tantra to reveal a few more jewels.

***

The images we have of ourselves take root within the earth. Each image lives within a subtle domain that best corresponds to its nature, harmony and self-aware quality. A person who is fully awake as a multidimensional being in physicality, having created a harmonious image of themselves, can become aware of themselves within any of the earth’s inner worlds, simply by focusing their attention upon that sphere of consciousness. Awakening in the deepest regions of the earth requires activation of your awareness above the head. Those who have done this will understand that the stars live within the earth.
      The subtle images you have of yourself are a living light that acts as a template, qualifying how you receive the infinite light of your soul. If that image is strong, your body will receive from it a strong radiation. If it is agitated, your subtle image within the earth will be broadcasting that radiation to your physical body. You cannot ascend the body without first victoriously re-creating your images within the earth.
     
You awaken a subtle, refined and eloquent inner awareness by cultivating your energetic consciousness into a like state. This is the wisdom behind all non-dualistic approaches, paraphrased in the saying, "You get there by being there." The spiritual journey "home" is becoming your own energy source, fully self-radiant and able to remain in that effortless beauty of joyful wakefulness while interacting and blending with others of the Oneness. Images of yourself which are based in struggle, in a need to draw light from others, cannot be a vehicle for your consciousness to express itself in divinity. To remain awake in the eternal eloquence of your spirit, you must bring forth an image capable of that expression.

***

As you travel into the earth, you will find at the edge of each ether a thin veil, which serves to contain and protect the earth underneath it. It gives definition and integrity to the earth’s inner structure, just like your skin gives definition to how your body looks. This boundary acts like a piece of photographic film that vibrationally records all your activities, or more accurately, the image of yourself doing those activities. If that activity is not harmonious enough, or is asleep to the awareness of that realm, then the film becomes a boundary through which that image of activity cannot pass. In effect, your image has become solidified in a way that limits its further penetration.
      The strength of these veils directly forms the integrity of the planet. If the veil is weak, a disruptive consciousness could penetrate into the core harmony of the planet. In the inner core of a planet, there is little separation between thought and matter, so the whole planet – even destroying it. Rest assured, there is no way that the integrity of Earth’s inner veils can ever be compromised. That guardianship was long ago established. There have been other planets where this integrity was compromised, resulting in the whole planet being literally destroyed – grand experience in the sea of eternity!

 

Creating the Eternal Body

Developing a physical body that is sustained and nourished by the pure Radiant Light of your Spirit is done in stages, whereby you create an eternal Image and entice it to become the reality of every cell.
