Hi Anita,
Lovely to hear. We strike a balance with adversity when we remember to
include"that something higher" that Bert talks about. My experience is that
that something higher is a dimension of love. Osho my Indian master used to
talk alot about "the fourth dimension". My trainings in esoteric science
taught me that we are all multi dimensional beings. For example our 3 lower
centres or chakras are purely survival orientated and vibrate more with the
animal kingdom. Most of us live in these "in the jungle of life" where "kill or
be killed" is the collective word. However when one begins to meditate and
enter transformative processes involving the raising of consciousness, life
energy flows more and more via the heart centre, which is the "fourth
dimension".
In the heart centre there is a very real "centre of empitness" or a "source"
from where all life springs and returns to. One can only access it when the
mind is stilled and a fine inner tuning learns to feel comfortable and safe
residing there. In love one simply relaxes and trusts in something greater,
that works its wonder via the "unknown" magic of existance itself. You can
practice tuning into this space in your quieter moments. Sitting or lying
quietly and breathing into the heart it helps to imagine with every in breath
the heart is stretching...becoming wider....bigger......this is actually an
attunment to the wider bigger soul that Bert talks about. I find it helps to
remember situations or people in my life that I was with when I entered this
state of higher consciousness. The memory of light and love infuses the
present and pretty soon whammooo you're there. One thing to note about the
heart chakra is that it is the only centre of
our being that can expand to embrace the whole of existance. One cannot do
this via intellect or mind or even our biological sexual, sensual channels they
are all too narrow.
In a meditative state of being present in the here and now one uses the outer
senses to look hear, see, smell and feel with a deep inner awareness of the
heart. Looking, hearing and feeling via the heart has a totally different
quality to our biological senses. The key, and the difference for converting
these ordinary senses into the extrordinary is AWARENESS and LOVE. When
looking, tune into the heart, expand, relax, trust. When listening also remain
in the heart centre.
If one practices this in every moment of the day, it becomes a way of life, an
expanded state of living that can only resonate with something higher, not
lower. Lower vibrations cannot interfere with such a state....it is in fact
beyond them.
Hellinger in KL had us all practising this expanded state of looking. Look at
a spot anywhere..... shift your focus to a soft stare that now includes all
that the eyes can see.....an expanded vision. Move from using a tiny part of
your vision to all of it. In this you not only see that which you were
focusing on but all that is around what you focused on. In this way you do not
get lost in the part and have the opportunity to embrace the whole. Our inner
senses without awareness remain always with a part picture. We need to learn
to use them to perceive the whole. This can only happen with practice and
rememberance of being here and now every moment.
A multi dimensional awareness is needed. One that not only uses intellect, but
one that also embraces instinct and intuition. Many of us function in only one
of these. A complete or whole picture is never available with such a narrow
chanel of perception. Imagine the picture you will get when these 3 inner
centres are fully engaged in the moment all together. Slowly slowly it becomes
a way of life that connects you to a higher movement.
The three lower centres (or chakras) of our metaphysical being are engaged in
intellect and instinct. The fourth is intuition. Intuition is the path to
love and trust. The inner dynamics of intuition are very scientific. I would
have to write another seperate article to outline the science of how this works
metaphysically in our system. Since I am a mad inner scientist and passionate
about these things I could do it if anyone is interested. Perceiving in a
positve way in life and constellations is scientific. It follows a certain
inner blueprint or map of understanding. It helps to know about these things.
So to answer your question. That state of trust does not make us extememly
vulnerable to predators when one remains connected to "something higher". You
must be living in the world of conscience and survival where you fear "being
killed" and are also capable of "killing".
Perhaps this is a good place to start.
Thankyou for your question Anita, I hope I have been of some help to you and
others.
Lots of love to you
Sadhana

Dear Sadhana
Trust is everything. It allows us to relax, take in what is, and be here.
And that state of trust also makes us extremely vulnerable to predators. How
do we strike that balance so we can trust in life while being vigilant, like
sleeping cats, to those who are skilled enough to manipulate us in that
state?
Sincerely
Anita

There are times to "feed on death" and there
are times to move beyond death into a celebration of life. This
movement of the spirit-mind? ? What is the safety in this path? Pure
trust. Pure trust, that is all.
