When miracles happen -rjs

When miracles happen, the carnal mind is always ready to explain them away, make light of them or totally ignore them.

Miracles demonstrate the indescribably amazing and wonderful power of our God and can be perceived on a moment-by-moment basis when we ponder our Oneness with God.

Did you know even Kim Jung Un could be smitten with God’s love and all those people who have no focus would entirely miss it. They’d think it was nothing more than a ripple and go on with their terribly self-defeating lack of focus.

Would that all of us who have experienced a modicum of spiritual awakening and a handful of miracles would go completely into our own newly refreshed powerful conscious awareness where all is One!

You ARE the universe -SB many

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
You are not just a drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in a drop.”
~ Rumi

“You are the universe expressing itself as a human for a little while. Each person’s life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.
You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

“Outwardly, I am one apple among many. Inwardly, I am the tree.
You are the big bang, the original force of the universe. You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
The real YOU is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real, deep down YOU is the whole universe.
You are the universe experiencing itself.”
~ Alan Watts

“The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
You have potential powers beyond your wildest dreams. Not only is the entire universe reflected in you, but also the power to control the universe is waiting to be used.”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

“You are not alone as a person, you are alone as the entire universe.”
~ Mooji

“Suddenly I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom – from myself, from my problems. I saw that I am bigger than what I do, bigger than my body. I am everything and everyone. I am no longer a fragment of the universe. I am the universe.”
~ Jim Carrey

“Though the eye is small, the consciousness which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.”
~ Meher Baba

“When we look at the ocean, we see that each wave has a beginning and an end. A wave can be compared with other waves, and we can call it more or less beautiful, higher or lower, longer lasting or less long lasting. But if we look more deeply, we see that a wave is made of water. While living the life of a wave, the wave also lives the life of water. It would be sad if the wave did not know that it is water. It would think, ‘Some day I will have to die. This period of time is my life span, and when I arrive at the shore, I will return to nonbeing.’ These notions will cause the wave fear and anguish. In the world of the wave, the world of relative truth, the wave feels happy as she swells, and she feels sad as she falls. She may think ‘I am high!’ or ‘I am low!’ and develop superiority or inferiority complexes, but when the wave touches her true nature – which is water – all of her complexes will cease, and she will transcend birth and death.
Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“The whole universe is I-am. So whenever I say “I am choiceless, effortless, pure awareness, I am the Self”, always remember, I am not referring to Robert. I’m referring to I-am, which is pure consciousness. When I make that confession, it is all-pervading. It is omnipresence itself. Everyone of you is I-am. The whole universe is I-am.
How can you want anything when you are the whole universe?
All the answers are within you. Everything you’re looking for is within you, everything. Know who you are. You are the power. All the power of the universe is within you. All is well, exceedingly well. It has always been well, it will always be well.
I want to let you in on a little secret. There are no problems. There never were any problems, there are no problems today, and there will never be any problems. The reality in back of the universe is pure awareness. It has no problems. And you are That.”
~ Robert Adams

Move over Rupert, here’s Papaji’s Awareness -RSpira

Q. What is true awareness?

There is the awareness which is aware of objects like flowers. ●●True Awareness is the awareness which is aware of the awareness of objects. It is the undisturbed simple awareness in which things rise and fall.

There is an Awareness beyond the awareness of objects and events.
●●You are That Awareness in which the awareness of objects stays.

●●This Awareness has no name and when you try to give it a name the trouble arises. You are nameless and formless; you can’t see anything. Know “I am nameless and formless,” and that “I am aware of my own Self.” The ●●pure Consciousness will pull you back, it is not that you will enter into it.
●●When you enter into it, it is ego entering, but when It pulls you It has made the choice to take you Home. This happens somehow and we can’t know why. Very rare beings are picked up by Consciousness. ●●Once drawn in that man’s travels are over!
~ Papaji

Who ya gonna bless? -rjs

Reading lovely words and
Saying “How beautiful!”
Doesn’t put you
Where you need to be.
Viewing your fellow man
As less than you in any way
Sells YOU short!!!

You got a new revelation
And another, and another
Now who are you going to bless?
Not instruct, not correct
Just bless?

Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence -rjs

GOD IS OMNIPRESENCE.
He, She, It is present
Everywhere.
There’s not that particular time
Or place where He is/was not.
He’s within you and
He’s everywhere you go.

GOD IS OMNIPOTENCE.
Healing happens
As we recognize
God is the only power there is
Right in the face of illusion:
No other power can threaten
Us in any way.

GOD IS OMNISCIENCE.
He, She, It knows all there is/was
To know:
I AM =
ONE =
GOD.
To the exclusion of all else.

Dr. Robin Starbuck, 2017

Existence-Consciousness-Bliss -RAdams

Spiritual life means a letting go, a giving up, a release of all the things that have turned you on up till now. All the things that seem important to you, good, bad, in-between and mentally letting go. For it doesn’t matter whether you live in a palace or a hut, whether you have a million dollars or five cents, whether you’re dying of cancer or you’re healthy as a horse, it shouldn’t make any difference.

For after all to whom does this happen? Not to you, but to I. It is the I-thought that experiences all these things, you don’t. You are totally free. Yes you are. You are totally free, absolute reality. Your nature is sat-chit-ananda [existence-consciousness-bliss]. You are nirvana the ultimate oneness. There is absolutely nothing you have to do to attain this state. You don’t have to even wake up.

Many times I tell you to wake up because I’m using words. But in reality to wake up means that someone was asleep. Who is there that sleeps? Who is there that is disillusioned, ignorant? Is there one who is [really] ignorant? There is no ignorance.

Robert Adams, American Advaita mystic
