Sweet wonderful Casey, how are you??? Don’t worry about all this stuff…relaxation is where it’s at!

How does it Feel to be born exactly 9 months after Valentine’s day? 😉

Jai Gurudeva 🙂
Happiest b’day…
Hope you keep giving us some amazingly fantastic knowledge… 🙂
love

well i’m happy that it’s your birthday. i know you will have some big fun!

You are perfect timing.

you look lovely precious one♥

Love you!!!!

Nice!

You write really well… 🙂 And also whatever you write makes a lot of sense 🙂

Beautiful

bloody tough riding out thoses waves when/if they are SOOOOO massive… few are capable of empathising really, but they are OUR emotions to deal with and while they are “real” to us, when we try to make them “real” to others (for validation, comfort or approval) it doesn’t often bode well, in my experience.

Love you Dvorahji xx

You don’t have any choice but to ride them out…However, a little understanding and exercise do help and of course a little chocolate does too…It’s unfortunate that in our society, you’re considered depressed if you don’t feel motivated to “do anything” for an hour, a day, a month or months or even a year. Any good Astrologer who can show you your cycles will make it clear to you THAT THERE ARE CYCLES, & your body & mind are part of those cycles. The difference is, you freak out about your cycles & think you’re ruining your life.

How long does winter last? Or Spring? or Summer? It various with the seasons actually. But for some reason, we see ourselves as “ABOVE” all that nature. We are comprised of the same elements as the rest of the ebb & flow of life, we just put a hat on it to match our Jimmy choo’s.

Enlightenment, Happiness, Peace, is being aware of your True Nature, which observes/IS, hanging out HERE regardless of your moods. HERE YOU ARE! The moods may continue to come & go and you continue to find solutions by change of diet, vitamins, movement, yoga, medicine etc…but THIS UNDERSTANDING, allows to move on and not beat yourself up, because you’re wasting time or not running around trying to “fulfill your purpose”! 

You’re OK with being dynamic & you’re OK with being depressed. HONESTLY SO F-ING WHAT? SO you want to stay home & watch videos & eat junk & wake up grumbling! SO WHAT? Get up, put on some music and it’s a completely different moment.

For God’s Sake’s JUST MOVE ON! LIFE IS A HAPPENING…MOVE ON FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT even if that’s from the bed to the computer to the refrigerator. JUST MOVE ON!!!!!

And if you need a little comfort, approval or validation, you just got to pick the right “other” to have a conversation with – be that man or animal or Tree. Some “things” are great listeners & comfort you when you most need it!

and BTW Manu, if anyone can ride them out well, you can! Maybe a good filly will help! Be patient Baby…

oh a filly! i wonder if that will happen again…. in the autumn of my mojo i think 😉 xx

but surfing the king tides like a m…..f…..er!!!!

Pondering your words further I see that at times when we are musing on our own emotional vascillations we assume that the other is able to experience the same climate we have… it is like saying to you now “isn’t this warm weather really lovely?” because I am in it, when you actually are in the nthn hemisphere and your reality is valid in the complete opposite way, but both are true from our perspective

♥

I delight in loving you x

Weather is a great metaphor for life – sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, and there’s nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella – pepper giardino

Thank you for always being there…hoping to meet you in person sometimes..

so very true :))

DV, Thankyou for being in NATURE…. always there…smack at the moment!

I have a question for you, i am a little bit confuse, there is outher a bunch of authors, teachers, gurus and more, there is one in particular that stated in one of his books, that he never get sick, and that we can be healthy for ever, doing meditation and japa, few month ago he was diagnostic with one of the most brutal illness….this shock me, because of his previous statements, so , same as me, there is thousands of his followers that are questionig his teachings….so, can you help me with this…? i used to be one of his fans,and i am wondering if what i was reading from him it is simply bs, lol ?

Well, first, who’s the teacher and second…

“Life brings good & bad karma regardless of how enlightened your are? Right?”…….Most of the great Master all died of one horrible disease or other, Right? check out Ramana, Nisagaddatta, Osho and on and on all of them died of something or other, right? Maharishi used to talk about Immortality, was he immortal? He’s gone too! They all dissappear.

So now this big question has come up in your mind, hasn’t it? And it has shocked you, hasn’t it, and all his devotees? WELL I SAY GREAT! IT’S REALLY GOOD TO BE SHOCKED OUT OF YOUR SENSES!!!!

What does it matter what ANY BODY SAYS? Truth is contradictory! If it makes sense for sure it’s BS! And if it doesn’t make sense? IT’S STILL BS! LOOK for the WHOLE/SILENCE in-between the BULL#@$%!!!

Meanwhile, life is a Happening and we just move a long…..IT DOESN’T MATTER what he said or didn’t. The only thing that matters is what you got out of this relationship. Are you Happier, more content with YOUR Happening? Are you more relaxed with your life and your circumstances? THAT’S YOUR CRITERIA, NOT WHETHER he’s enlightened or not, or if what he told you is BS.

Your MIND questioning all this is the biggest BULL@#$# OF ALL! Relax, go have a cup of tea and some chocolate cake, go play with your kids and BE HAPPY! WHO cares what some BODY said, unless it makes you feel better and life bearable…

If you lived with me, I would prablably shock you too. I am a crazy MAD WOMAN and I tell people for sure they’re going to dissappear no matter how much they “fast” or how much japa they do or how much money they give to “feed the children”!

LIFE IS A MYSTERY, A truly MIRACULOUS HAPPENING…and to think that we can “figure” it out is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! THE ENLIGHTENED are just as SHOCKED AS YOU ARE. They don’t have
Clue WHAT’S GOING ON either, but they talk a really good game! They do their GIG, just like everybody else, Shocking their devotees with their own BULL@#$#! And I say AMEN!

Thank you very much for answering me, the person that i was refering is Dr. Wayne Dyer, i have no problem with what he says in his books, the problem started when he stated…”i will never be sick, don’t have a cold for years”…..and more bs, so i took it literally…..when he say month ago, oh, i got cll, (leukemia), everybody was shock, …See More

Its not easy to relax and accept what is happening, but when you do it does flow. This is so true..
Thank you

They became sick, because they became sick!! There’s a time to get sick! It’s just that simple…It’s really not more complicated…and maybe they’ll be healed or NOT. I’ve seen Sri Sri heal incredible diseases, and then I’ve seen him give a blessing and the person dies…. it’s all within the miracle of Happening!

And Now Dyer knows better doesn’t he, instead of teaching this nonsense to his trillions of students that also WANTED to “never get sick or die”? He wanted control and his students wanted him to teach them control. (but on the other hand, many of the things he told you gave you some peace too didn’t it?) Dyer was doing his GIG, like everybody else.

So let me be perfectly clear here: NO 
F-ING CONTROL OVER ANYTHING. You can’t even control your thoughts, your breathing, your nose drip or gas moving though your intestines – and now you want to control your Body, mind & life to go YOUR WAY???? NOW HOW STUPID IS THAT!

EVERYONE – go have some fun! If you need a project, go try and control the Sun from coming up at it’s usual time!

DEAR Marguerite darling, the whole point is…that when you DON’T relax…YOU can still REALIZE you are COMPLETELY TAKEN CARE OF!!!! THE DIVINE, your Nature NEVER LEAVES YOU REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING. Always, Always Always Always in the lap of the Divine. NEVER ALONE. NEVER. Doesn’t matter, what you say, doesn’t matter what you feel, doesn’t matter what’s happening in your life….Divine & you are always ONE…taking care of you.

That’s why WORRY IS NOT AN OPTION!

Thank you…..i know your answers are helping a lot of people…….i want to share something with you, 15 years ago, i have my first daughter, she is quadrapligic, everybody bless her, people asked me, can i pray for her ? i say, no thank you. A member from my family told me you are so nasty, why you don’t let people to pray for her ?and i say, i already pray for her when she born, or i have to keep reminding the Divine to heal her ? If it wasn’t for my daughter disability, i won’t be here talking with you. So, i can say that life bring to me my personal Guru, 24/7, my daughter. I learned with her that sometimes the miracle is to die…..
I love to read,and i am a bookaholic, so i found this guy, Dyer, and started to read his books as an experiment, same with Neale Donald Walsh, Greg Bra
den, The Hick’s, and many many more, and i found out that as you say , they are freek controlers, just for curiosity, i asked how much was the price for a seminar that Neale D. Walsh was going to give in California, the price was, $5,000 per person…..for one day, you need to bring your lunch……..!!!
That day, i give away all my books, to the city library, and i keep my collection of National Geographic !!!
Now ………i follow my moodness lol And i can say it work, glad i found you.

Abraham Lincoln once said:” “Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

Dvorahji says: Any man can be a GURU, HOWEVER – If you want to test a Guru’s true character, give him power andddddd Lots of devotees, espcially beautiful ones, lots of money, lots of fame & see what happens to his character!

However, remember, everyone is doing their Gig…Everyone and everything! And truth is all mixed up with everything else and everything is BS. So what can a seeker do?

Follow your Nature…and If you find a True Guru, standing in front of you, calling your name, it’s time to lay your burden down, because this is your CHANCE TO BE FREE! To relax into that LOVE that you are and be at peace. A true Guru will give you peace & turn the mirror so you can see youself instead of him.

You can always check out my Guru, and see if He is calling your name (srisri.com) or you stare in the mirror until you don’t have a name………

Lovely… just watched “The five principles” from Ashtavakra yesternight in which Guruji speaks similar knowledge… “Adhunaiva sukhi shanto, bandha mukto bhavishyati” … RIGHT THIS MOMENT, you ARE happy and peaceful!!… wonderful… love you dvorahji…

I love it when the BiG Guns back me up!!!l

Ok, i will check it out……thank you

Many thanks for all these great comments – ah yes, the mutimillion dollar business of selling people the dream of control!

I love and appreciate the knowledge that you share with us. It is so real!

Thank you. That is very reassuring, and just what i needed to hear today… lots of love and blessings to you. 🙂

Dear Dvorahji and Wendy, just want to throw in something beautiful I read about Ananda Mayi Ma.. When she was old and sick pepole asked her how come? – and she replied, I AM not sick, it only appears to be so.. it is the way of the unmanifest to call me back..

im happy to know this

Now Hege that Ananda Mayi, that’s my home/girl. If you think about it, times when you’ve been sick, your body has been sick, but “you” are really just fine.

Thank you so much – great reminder!

Amen!

another good one is jerf–joy, exercise relaxation and fun–covers a multitude of “sins”

It’s the effect we have on our reality. The difference between seeing some grimis from a person verses a huge smile! Do you want to be the Scrooge or little Cindy Lou Hoo????

God does love fun! Take me, for example. He obv. had a great sense of humor in creating me. I mean, how silly does it get? 🙂

I had to laugh at my vivid imagination b/c what I imagined was what I was presently seeing was real but it’s not real b/c it is only connected to past experience. But I was about to claim myself as paranoid schizo, but once I was able to see how insane my logic was I laughed. Yeah Dawn make a fool out of yourself, let’s see you do it…make a claim…maybe I will just for the heck of it.

thank you❤

De-light-full

🙂

do you really believe that no-one makes mistakes? ….and there should be no remorse?

move on yes… but what about the pain associated with the happening.. one needs time to heal from that ♥

YES, never intentionally. It’s a HAPPENING….
Remorse happens, just don’t get stuck on it. Remorse as a pinch is good – when it becomes overwhelming it loses it’s purpose. It’s all part of the drama, the flow of life Happening…Our job is to move along with the flow of life happening, from one drama to another, safe in this VAST/OPEN/SPACE MOMENT…A little remorse feels good, just don’t get attached to it, it’s not a permanent feeling…IT COMES & THEN IT GOES – like everything else. MISTAKES HAPPEN. NO BLAME, NO CREDIT…

true.. one takes time to get over a happening.. but getting attached is wrong…Thank You … and your friendship ♥

MITSU, Who told you, you had to heal from that? If you didn’t really do anything, what are you going to heal from? A Mistake happened, who is it that needs to heal? A thought needs to heal, that’s all that needs to heal.

And since that thought may come up again and again, it may take a couple of days. Do your asanas, pranayam, meditation, a little kriya and you should be good as new.

All this healing stuff, it’s your imagination…you “THINK” you have to heal. Relax and again move along…

Getting attached is not wrong. Getting attached happens like everything else. It just causes more thoughts & unhappiness. You can relax even if you get attached…most people love their attachments & actually there’s nothing wrong with that…it comes & goes like everything else.

I like what you are saying too…but it just seems that everyone has this move on attitude and we are supressing a lot of our true feelings so that we may be like the other fish in the river being carried along by the currant….but are you really resolving the hidden causes as to why that experience entered your life in the first place…..

Barbara, you’re certainly entitled to your perspective, but honestly, if you’re still into “hidden causes” you’re into “OLD” concepts. True feelings are just more thoughts that you “THINK” ARE TRUE.

From my perspective, hidden causes is the language of psychobabble, belief in getting rid of ‘bad karma” cleaning the chakras, cells, aura and a myriad of healing processes that are available now through the New Age. THEY all assume there is something hidden in you that needs to be looked at and healed. From my perspective IT’S ALL RUBBISH-THOUGHTS THAT COME AND GO about your mind & body. & of course that doesn’t mean people don’t get healed.

if you ask me, Dvorahji, then LIFE IS A HAPPENING, PERIOD. And to understand that statement, you really have to go beyond thought, and belief systems and recognize that all your problems including all the “hidden causes” are because of your THOUGHTS and those thoughts have the staying power and “depth” of a fly buzzing around your head. 

It will buzz for a while & then it will move on, maybe it will come back again, but then it will eventually die. There is no “depth” in a fly and there is no depth in a thought. Your “hidden causes” are a thought, an made up story that you believe. and again THAT’S OK, because IT IS AS IT IS.

When you’re ready to give up ALL YOUR STORIES and ALL YOUR HIDDEN CAUSES, you may want to check out this post again… love Dvorah

life is living through us and making us believe otherwise

I cannot agree with you entirely. I have seen many who take advantage of others with the same attitude you are adopting by saying…get over it. It is easy to talk……

I’m not “really” saying get over it…I’m saying do what you do and know deeply that life is a happening. Cry, pray, meditate, go get healed. Do WHAT EVER YOU DO…I’m not telling you to do the “positive thinking” nonsense and glide over your feeling and pretend they are not there…I’m only suggesting that you go deeper then words & feelings – to that vast/silent/ relaxed state that is your Nature and relax into this constant WORLD OF THOUGHT & FEELINGS FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

the key is always relax…in a tub, taking a run, in a movie, in a sugar coma..whatever…just relax and watch the thoughts and feelings melt away! and then there is this SPACE/ OPEN SPACE THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. BEING that has always been there, PEACE, that has always been there, and WATCH EVERYTHING ELSE melt away to the infinite space it has come from….

From that space that you wake up with every morning, go into the world and DO YOUR THING and you’ll see that all your concerns, thoughts, feelings, gripes are passing you by as you REMAIN, open and safe.

I agree with the Life Happening because it is Happening. I don’t talk out loud anymore when I’m pissed off because mo
st people cant bear my truth. I call it my truth because I’m the one hurting, not you or my family. Over the years a lot of my pain has been suppressed because I was taught to not cry and share my feelings, but in the past 5 to 7 years when I did start to share my feelings to some people in my life, I was told that I was stuck, get over it, and that I talk too much, so I went into absolute shut down shut off mode. I have been like this for the past 2 years. Not sharing deep emotions like before, however, reading much of your work has helped me to BE STILL/THINK/ BE WITH IT/ FEEL IT/ MEDITATE ON IT/ and then HANDLE IT. MY way has always been through writing.

The truth to me is…..ITS MINE and NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO SHARE IT WITH ME (problems)….And that’s OK because through my pain, I have found CREATIVITY and when I read it over, I see it different and I detach myself from the story and I become the audience or my oun shrink and then everything is as clear as the nose on my face….

So… THANK YOU FOR YOUR WRITINGS OF YOUR TRUTH BECAUSE I CAN MAKE IT MINE….I LOVE YOU!!!

Suppression of feelings and thoughts, has NEVER BEEN MY WAY…and if you knew me (which most of you really do) I don’t hold back much, because to me it’s all RIGHT HERE, IN FRONT OF MY FACE ALL THE TIME. Your life is right here ALL THE TIME. It is never hidden from view. And all the thoughts, feeling and emotions come & go ALL THE TIME.

Look at them, review them, heal them, write about them, that’s all part of our life, just RECOGNIZE that they are passing through and that SILENT OPEN PEACEFUL SAFE NATURE that you are. That way you can play with them, experience them AND NOT GET STUCK ON THEM as if they we stuck in your cells & the rest of that New Age healing Bull$%%T. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING is stuck anywhere. NOTHING is deep in your chakras & dna crap. IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE ALL THE TIME, RIGHT NOW, for you to access if IT wants to.

Just be Natural, be who you are, accept your life as it comes up or NOT….but again, when it’s all over, and you’re done doing your thing, MOVE ALONG! instead to back tracking to get the last bit of nonsense the healer told you to get out. Move along… your free, your healed and you are PURE.

Awesomely right!!!

So your enlightened nature = being in the present moment, right?

You are ALWAYS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT – where else could you be? Your breath is in the present moment, your body/heart beat is in the present moment, only your thoughts vacilate all over the place. You actually are ALWAYS in the present moment whether you “know it” or not. Just like you are Enlightened whether you “know it” or not.

Present moment, Enlightenment, Love, SPACE, GRACE, ALL ARE YOU NATURE in the present moment ALWAYS.

BTW- all this trying to be in the “now” or trying to live in the present moment is just “mind tripping”, another thought making you “think” you are in the present moment.

The present moment is ALWAYS RIGHT HERE, PERIOD. You never have to try being in the present. You are always Here in IT. If you want, stop, take a breath, and in that breath your mental activity usually stops and there it is – THE PRESENT MOMENT. Always there in between every breath, with no beginning and no end. HERE all the Time.

What teachers really refer to when they tell you to “try” and be in the present moment is a cessation of thought – AND trying to stop thinking is like trying to stop the pink Elephant, from trampling through your mind. 

NOW/PRESENT are already your reality, you don’t ever have to try and BE present, that’s when you start mind-tripping again. It’s a relaxation into what YOU ALREADY ARE, NOT a trying to be. Get it? Great, now relax with all this stuff and live in the Now/present naturally.

I’d love to share your shares, but there isn’t a button to do that with. I think it a setting you can change. Please do. With my love and warmest greetings, Nancey

Nancy, I’m not sure what your looking at…I’ve structured it so you can share my posts & pict Tell me specifically what you can’t share…

Ok , that was a little too deep for me, will read it couple of times and let it sink in….

skip it…just read this line…and read it like a sutra before you go to bed and just sink into it ok? Don’t try to understand stand it. Just relax in this short sutra…

“That BEING that has ALWAYS been with you since childhood & has never changed-THAT’S YOUR ENLIGHTENED NATURE! “

Exactly!

ya, ok.
It did sink in, all of it…..
yet, i am going to be with those words little longer..
nice… 🙂 real nice….

That is true…

Cdnt agree more dvorah. Hope yu r doing well — long time since I shared some laughs with you.
Luv, hugs n jgd
Vikram

am so glad you are sending messages again. I was missing your wise words. It was time for the reminders. Besos!

Dvoraji, want to hop over for a visit to the Holy Land?

I would love to meet you..when are you coming to Bangalore?

Amazing Dvorah !! Amazing !! that are amazing and yet such simple words !!! WOW !!! every one needs to read these words !!

I am hooked onto your FB status and comments now….pearls….nopes….absolute diamonds of wisdom…..

Cheers to you. Your words are amazing.

Now…i am totally inspired to read your book “shut up”….and i am not even a book person…if there is such a thing as a book person !! 🙂

Darling Tanbir, I’m not a book person either – I like videos!

Darling Orly…send me a ticket, find me a place to stay…Invite some people for an informal conversation & fun…and I’ll come…

WOW!!!!! Whooppppa!!!

You know facebook is great and makes for a very comfortable satsang…but the seeker needs to become undone…and If I was there I’d probably wack you all on the head & make you wonder if you came to the right place!!!

Seekers can get very smug with what they’ve learned – No body seems to want to really give it all up…they still want “a little control, a little choice”. That’s why there are so many teachers Offering enlightenment & positive thinking as still “your choice”.

I’d like to look at you straight in the face and completely dismiss anything you have to say and make sure you know, VERY CLEARLY – THAT LIFE IS A HAPPENING…and you have NO choice, there is only the appearance of choice. And everything, and I mean EVERYTHING IS A VAST MYSTERY beyond your control. And maybe then you’ll just give it up, relax and live your life without all these rationalizations and “what ifs”. 

It always is exactly as it CAN ONLY BE, PERIOD. NO ifs, buts, maybes or whatevers. Nada. It is as it is.

that is well said!

You’re Amazing, Dvorahji! I love how you continue to point to the Truth, cutting off any of our statements that say ‘but…’, so we Stop and see/recognize/notice/observe What Is/Who or What we really are, rather than having all our attention on what’s fleeting. When I remember and come back, the ‘burdensome’ thoughts drop since there’s no substance to them, and then appropriate action follows. Amazing! And yet so simple, too simple, how can it be so simple, can’t be…and but IT IS! Love You!

IT is just that easy! How do make seekers see “easy”? Now that is very difficult and such a hassle!…..

Yes IT IS EASY, EASY, EASY….

Beautifully said, Dear.

Thank you!

SWEETHEART YOU’RE A LOVELY LADY AND VERY FUN TOO…GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

wooow

FEED the PEOPLE!!

Oh Dvorahji!!!! you are so lovable. Coming up with such beautiful insights !!!

Perfect !!! perfect words and thoughts !!

that’s exactly right

🙂

mmmmmmmm……………..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………
I took a deep breath after reading it and before writing this 🙂

🙂

i live in the SHADE…
it’s very quiet here…
i listen to the sound of my BREATH…
it lingers like a lover
in the afterglow…
do you remember when we met…?

YO!!! U Rock On Sister!!!!

Yeah, the weird thing is that spirituality can end up being yet one more form of entertainment in a stimulation-packed world. You pick up some blurbs on the fly and then go. I say better than nothing, ultimately some of it does sink in. ;O)

Amen to that ! Took me a wile to figure that one out ! ♥

YOOOO!!!! Yes Dvorah Ji!! m doing goooodddd !!!!! U Rock ON MY Dear!!!!!!!! JAI GURUDEV!

cool…..

I was just thinking about this tonight, Dvorahji. I think you finally have to get so incredibly sick of obsessing over ‘true love’ that you have to really not care anymore. And then the universe’s trick will be to bring hi
m (or her.) That’s very often what happens but you have to even let go of that. And just shut up. ;O)

It’s funny what the mind does, isn’t It? First you try & make love happen by making lists, praying, hoping, using the law of attraction and if that doesn’t happen, then you “don’t care anymore” in hopes that will do the trick, because you’ve “let go”. And then sometimes you find someone “out of the blue” when you weren’t looking and again, you think that’s the reason you found your “true love” for a month, a year, and rarely a lifetime.

All these concepts on how to get things to happen for you. Honestly it’s so heartbreaking to keep watching seekers trying to manipulate their life to get what they want and then once they get it, they want something else and on and on and on…It’s one mind trip after another with an occasional hit for awhile.

I know it appears as if there is a rhyme or reason for what happens to you…BUT FORGET IT! IT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND most of the time it doesn’t happen the way you want it to, and if it does, there always a little twist. But the good news is you still keep hoping that this time it’s going to be a “forever” happiness.

How can there be a forever when everything is ALWAYS CHANGING? How is it possible? You find your true love and in one year they’re completely different? And in five years you’re both completely different people. Sometimes you hang in there and sometimes you don’t.

Don’t worry so much about all this stuff…Live your life and have as much fun as you can in & out of relationships…

De-light-full

i just told this to my friend today!!!wow…i came home and i saw this…aho guru!!

I tried to find my soul, Dvorahji! In the bargain, I lost the desire for a mate!

MAN!!!!!! Dvorah ji!!!! YOU JUST SPOKE IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE YOUUUUUUUUU MY DEAREST MOTHER/SISTER/BEST FRIEND!!!! WOOOOOWWWWWWW! I feel great!!! 🙂

Dvorahji,

Excellent. Just wish I h
ad read this before spending two weeks with what I honestly believed was true love. Hey, it was just two weeks. Could have been two years…

Jeff

Think about Jeff, wasn’t it wonderful while it was wonderful? Wasn’t it delirious & loving to feel that you finally found your “soulmate” for life? So for awhile it was bliss. The problem always comes in that people want the bliss, but don’t want the suffering. Unfortunately, you can’t have one without the other.

In life when you have a lot of happiness/bliss it comes with an automatic “opposite” ticket. If you go up, you come down…That’s the REAL LAW OF ATTRACTION. UP IS ATTRACTED TO DOWN.

Jeff you had a great time, a great adventure and you’re going to have many more…enjoy them all with their ups & downs, otherwise life get so boring. all this hoping, praying, wanting, getting, losing, crying…what a drama, and feeling it all is really very exciting, isn’t it? Much Better then feeling nothing? 

The trick is always to move on and give all those “associations/feelings” a chance to move out of your system & psyche. People tend to think they have deep vasana – but really that’s ridiculous. THERE IS NO DEEP ANYTHING!!!! IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE. IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE…let them come & then let them goooooooo. Just be a little patient. A little breathing, a little kriya, a little meditation and you’re as clear as new.

LOVE your special ED book!

“Spiritual Special ED” was a brilliant quote by
Lola Falanananda Maharaj aka Jason Lambert…thank you Lola….

Above the sound of roaring applause:
“Thank you all so much! Thank you! Please, please! Thank you! I’d like to thank the academy and all the little people who ma
de this day possible. You love me. . .You really love me!”

should i read the book or shut up ??

Saturday, November 21,2009/ 10.15 pm IST

It sure is a novel way of looking at ohter’s spirituality and ur own. Professor Sudershan Batra

Well Benedetto, you should probably “shut Up” while you’re reading the book!

Prof. – My way at looking at spirituality is:

Everything is spiritual, how could it not be? If God is everything and knows everything, then how is it possible that everything and everyone is not Divine? To me it’s really crazy to think otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense?

People think: “Well everything is Divine “but” this or this person or this thought, or this feeling or this action”. Honestly it’s ridiculous!! You may not like a thought or action or person or situation, but still IT’S DIVINE, IT’S EXACTLY AS IT COULD ONLY BE! PERIOD. AND IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN ANY DIFFERENT! 

Spirituality, like everything else is a CONCEPT in the mind. You think it “should” be a certain way, just like you think people “should” act a certain way. And of course everything IS AS IT IS and people ACT AS THEY ACT.

Now that doesn’t mean you don’t try & change things but YOU and your doing and thinking and acting are all part of your Happening, THE HAPPENING…

SPIRITUALITY IS YOUR NATURE…it’s not a certain state of seeing or being or acting or thinking…IT IS YOUR NATURE…Everything is Spiritual.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so nice

This is so well said Ji !!!!! Thanks for this food for thought, it came at the RIGHT MOMENT :-)))

Btw…if you want to feel longing & devotion, just put on a Bhajan and dance…devotion comes flooding…it’s all right there all the time….you think you have to go to timbukltu or Nepal to feel a little love…it’s right there all the time…Turn on the music & dance…YOU ARE LOVE…

GOOD DAY

Die before you die! – and become twice born..

But awareness doesn’t really get lost, it is always clearly there. Just overlooked.

Ek baar duniya ke liya kaam karte karte mar jayu…. phir mar ne ke baad aram se jiyungi 🙂

Awareness of knowing that it’s just like removing a pair of clothing and than dropping this thought as well…NO (thing) is the real thing.

Everything that is said, needs to be investigated throughly…Everything needs to become your own happening…

Words, thoughts, theories of what others have said get in the way. There has been a tremendous about of fear oF “enlightenment” because you had to “go through the dark night of the soul” OR you had to “die to be reborn again” OR you had to negate the body & Mind” OR you had to “drop all thoughts & lose your mind” OR “you had to go through ONLY ME to come to the kingdom of heaven” OR you had to get RID OF THE I”. Or you needed “to have the
Guru crown you”.

IT ‘S ALL NONSENSE IN THE SIMPLE STATE OF UNDERSTANDING/AWARENESS.

All you have to do is investigate how though every moment of your life from childhood to now, you have REMAINED THE SAME, RIGHT? You have always been AWARE. Your hair has changed, your body has changed, your thoughts and actions have changed. But there is SOMETHING/AWARENESS, that has always remained the same.

When you go to sleep tonight, see how you SLIP into unconsciousness. One minute your lying in bed, next minute your dreaming, next minute you’re in deep sleep, then you open your eyes and you’re your room. Then there’s an urge to get up, and an urge to go to the bathroom and an urge to get some water and that’s how your life continues from moment to moment one URGE to another. There really aren’t any decisions..ONE MOVEMENT TO ANOTHER TO ANOTHER BROUGHT ABOUT BY A MYRIAD OF “URGES/SENSATIONS/THOUGHTS/stories ETC…

You think you are so much different than the ant crawling around doing it’s thing, but it’s really very much the same – you just put on some make up & Gucci and do your thing…

where was this wisdom yesterday!!

Just today morning heard something on the same line in Ashtavakra…there are infinite continuous choice happening in our mind, we choose one and that makes us joyful or sad. Awareness that whatever happens, whatever happened, whatever someone said or did are now just a thought in you and not a fact (as the mind would have you believe) can free you. Also, just look at all this as just a play of Gunas.Different thoughts & sensations arises in satva and opposites in rajas or tamas. They all pass. 🙂

dear dvorahji, it’s allways a pleasure to chill on with your postings..free of the burden to know it seems so miracolous that what needs to be known arises spontanously from nowhere and subsides where it came from. who could ever take credits for them?thx for all the beautyful confirmations of the truth in I.

same here dvorahji,i feel like u r my grandma..whenever i read ur postings i feel “she” is tellin me..that too what a timing!! when m confused or worried..ur post drops by me..so sweet of u..love u dvorahji..do take care..miss ya

but I can’t imagine a mind that’s happy just to stay in awe and not have conclusions.

Awe come & goes like everything else…NO one stays in AWE…

HOWEVER, AWE is your NATURE, like love…

Dvorahji, am I right in saying that true nature, in order to express itself, had to become fragmented into duality, and by that caused these other less than perfect reflections of itself?
This is unrelated, just a genuine question. I’ve been wondering about it because, if that’s so, and I return to that state, the expression of love via sinead-person will be gone forever. So will my temper tantrums, but hey. How best to view this?

I can only give you my perspective…which is: Everything is perfect exactly as it can ONLY BE…Life is a Happening anew at every moment…and No body returns to anything…”IT/love/true Nature – is your NATURE. now, then, future ALWAYS! And that’s enough to blow anyone’s MIND and questions (hopefully)!

yes, yes, yes! IDEAS and THOUGHTS about “my purpose/dharma” may come wrapped in great positive energy or great negative energy. so i just enjoy the dance of energies – that’s the best i can do. with time i learn to stay right at IT while the energies dance around me – and IT is my dharma, shapeshifting in every step of the dance, right in front of my nose…! IT has always been IT, now it’s so easy to see & be. 🙂

took me forever to crack this nut 🙂 – a major one for many, as you say…

What i say may seem irrelevant but since the talk is on Dharma, I cannot resist to put this beautiful saying on Dharma by Bhagwan Mahavira etched on my mind since childhood. “That the Evil Man is Rich and the Righteous Man Poor, is not the fault of Dharma. The Fruits of Dharma relate only to the soul”.

let me put that in perspective…”What’s yours, will always be yours. What is not yours will never be yours”. That’s why we are not feverish/upset about not having the Dharma we “think” we should have. We are exactly where we are at all times.

I remember walking down on Santa Monica Blvd. 30 yrs. ago in Hollywood thinking: “look at me, here I am no money, two young children, part-time teacher, a nobody, but that’s ok, cause I’m a potential Buddha…and that simple thought always kept me hopeful…WHO cares about being “somebody” having money, or being successful, when you’r
e a budding Buddha…

Life is so Challenging, always wondering why this or that is happening to you…it’s hard to find enough “reasons” to console yourself because everything keeps changing and many times for the worse before it gets better.

I remember having to make some important decision & my mind was racing, driving me crazy…& I remember thinking/pleading: Where are you? Where are you in this mess” I know you’re there, I know it”! And then, this incredible Peace was suddenly there and I could relax. My decision didn’t matter anymore.

In our life we come in contact with this PEACE many times. BUT every time we think it has left us. We don’t realize, IT IS OUR NATURE. It’s HERE all the time, whether you feel it or not. Just having this knowledge can give great security in this every-changing life.

I’m here to bring you the good news…Relax, you are always safe.

That’s a very nice story.
I too went in circles. I too wondered. Ibtoo was faced with what I thought were difficult decisions. And I somehow felt my way into a new life. I left behind my only home and was raising my granddaughter alone. My family of Origen had all died by the time I was 34. I was all alone and yet the underpining was there showing itself in miraculous ways. My true self was untouched.

Thank you for being here and bringing the good news!!! Love!

beautiful stories, thank you…! APPARENTLY it’s our stories of striving, hope and despair that finally brings us home to the place where we see that we’ve always been home, and that our story hasn’t ever had any power whatsoever to take us away from this home that is our very own BEING… such a relief, such a peace…! 🙂

Getting confused by conditioning and beliefs that underlie our thinking also causes suffering.

Recently an old love reentered my life as a result I saw my growth and understanding clearly.
It helped me to move ahead.
Strange how some things just happen and help us to let go. 
A form of education.

Wish an old love would reenter my life – and still looked like he was 30!!! unfortunately I still think I look like I’m 20!! What’s a young Diva Dvorahji/Shut UP Guru to do????

Hehe
Dvoraji. You won’t believe. But life is endless possibilities and what you can’t imagine I’m detail but manage not to resist (and how does that grace occur anyway?) brings possibilities not imagined to reality.

I had not one but two proposals of marriage in as many days.

It was very strange. I knew one was coming but not the other.

Of course both are exceptional men I feel. One is much younger than I am. So be careful what you ask for lol.

I’ll be planning a wedding. I want my cake from NY and someone will have to bring it cause she doesn’t ship. Wedding. I dunno. In snow. In the rain forest or in Provence.
Details details.
I like tulips. By the hundreds. Small wedding. Maybe at Crescent Lake Lodge in the spring.
But anything can change I’ve learned.
I’ve changed my mind before. If you wanna call it that.
Things just shift.

You tickle me tho. I expect in the near future to hear of interesting changes in your life.

Just when one accepts that nothing changes. Everything does!!
The story of life goes on. Script please..!
Action. Take one!

Marry the younger one – that’s my humble “spiritual advice” goooo young! As far as I’m concerned, I’m actually thinking of changing specie – I’ve proposed to my dog (and I don’t care that she’s a female and yea, she may not be younger, but she runs faster than me and that’s a big plus!

Ok I’ll take your advice!
We have been an ‘item’ for quite awhile.

Both have wonderful senses of humor and well I won’t go into it.
And humors are well mached. Of course we know that all men are trouble right? ‘-)

thanks for the advice. Now if it doesn’t work out I have at least you to blame, right? Giggling
But it’s on for maybe next spring.

:))

I didn’t tell you not to believe me, did I? I was talking about all those OTHER guys!!!!

Dearest Dvorah,

You are so true. You write like Rumi, in the 12th century. He wrote as one writing Hallmark Cards for 2009. You are so much more insightful; also, much better looking!

Nothing worse than a sage who looks more like a sau-sage. … Read More

WoW! There is nothing more wonderful then being praised by a satisfied Man..

I’m gonna get some new hats to frame my face and I’m letting my white hair grow so it’s a little sexi
er – Maybe I’ll even dye it so I can continue to seduce my devotees…..and Yea..I was always grateful that my Guru was so pretty, there’s nothing like sitting in front of… Read More

Dvorah,

You know, if we did not love our selves and our own bodies so much, we could be sharing a cigarette right now…

Best cyber-sex I can ever remember. Want to cuddle? 🙂… Read More

In a heartbeat!

Is it hot in here (FB), or is it just us?

Cuddling can wait. If we have some Gatorade, I’m ready for more!

Jeffy/heffy – I just love, love love love love love love Laughing….Muchos Gracias mi amor!!!!! (and I crack up once more! FAbulousssosososo!

Dvorahji: Right back atcha. For some strange reason, I’m feeling a little sleepy right now. But as one who is into recycling, nudge me about 9pm and I’ll be fine!

That just took my breath away..!! 🙂

I’m borrowing this to share with more people 🙂

O.K…I think I’m too young for this….;O) Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do (and that ain’t much) hahaahah

Dear Dvji, my lordess, do everything i would’nt do!

maybe for awhile..then it begins again, and ends agai
n.. until you just shut up, eh?

De-light-full….

Love this!! : )

~ ♥ ~

This is too good!! Hahahaha!!!

Whoo hoo a few who share the orgasmic love of the universe. Pass that cigarette!!!

I am aware I am still dreaming…; )

Amazing isn’t it? The dream continues, but “you” are no longer dreaming…you are AWAKE (whether you know it or not).

And when you become “aware” that you are AWAKE and the dream is continuing, then it’s time to relax and stop looking for that “Awareness/Peace/Enlightenment” and other names that the “saints” who have been actors in this dream tooooooo have tried to explain to you.

You see those saints as OTHER/special (and they are in the dream) – HOWEVER, AWARENESS observes and “they” are like a passing thought like everything else. Ramana has “your eyes”, Sri Sri has “your fun” and Tony has “your bawdy laugh”, & Osho has “your radical additute”. 

And for some reason, again, the dream continues and you do what you do in the dream and continue to bow down to the magicians who have pointed at the empty sky and pulled out a rabbit.
