Another gaze at Bliss

This week I have realised that happiness is a state and true happiness can only qualify as true when we are in a state of happiness and can turn our gaze back to moments or experiences that shaped this moment's happiness. The bliss.

Oh yes! I am referring to all kinds of experiences! Including the ones that broke us down, displaced us and took us back to square one. The experiences that remoulded our perspective on a certain or any area of life. Some of those moments could have even looked like a foggy forest, that we somehow made our way out of and at the first sight of a clearing, we took our first new breath of relief. A breath of happiness. Saw the sunshine. Took ourselves back to being whole again.

So that period when we kept walking, we rebuilt our beliefs, stuck on the road to recovery and wholeness- we changed partially or maybe not. But surely felt some level of impact on our complete state here and now. We learned again to surrender and committed again to our new state of happiness. And gathered more strength for feeling high.

Today, while I am happy I am starting to practice the following:

Bringing awareness to what defined my happiness in some or key areas of life.

Asking whether it was my ability to find the way here? Yes of course the journey has shaped it.

But I am also asking have I looked at the road in its entirety? Negative.

So then I took my gaze to the road to this new state of happiness- to the actual experience/s and the actual story that was the actual seed cause of this new state I am in.

I felt it was too necessary to ask myself if I had looked and actually accepted the entire story. And if I did, what state was I in then?

I just want to raise awareness with everyone about gazing back to the STORY / STORIES that lead you here to the state of happiness/ consciousness and/or bliss. This is because you now can. You are now happy and have developed sufficient inner strength to be able to really acknowledge the TRUTH of your Happiness today. You need to give love to the whole thing, the entire experience of how you made it to the state of happiness at all times.

Reach into the abundant pool of Light and Love within you and pour it over every single part of your history of happiness today- because you deserve to be happy for it ALL. And feel the state of BLISS.

The state of true happiness / Bliss is to have embraced the sorrow alongside the joy together.

Power to you

Remember - You are a God/dess living and supporting a Human life

So its been several months since writing the last piece on Who is a God/dess - realising the responsibility I had beyond those of a human being. Moving from an activated space as that, I noticed my experiences had evolved into something that I had to be even wiser about. Wisdom that I now had from the realisation of how a God/dess is accountable and what my responsibilities were toward my human-being-ness. The level of absorption this time was much deeper, analysis just as deep and actions were just as hard to take in order to get the results I wanted to keep aligned and growing from thereon.

The experiences and tests I speak of are nothing out of the ordinary. No I am not referring to the metaphysical. These experiences and tests actually all appeared to be either a repetition or a development of a prelude that I had already experienced. I am talking of dealings with family, work, money, love life, health, yoga, study, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, men, women, people, relationships, animals, environment, diet, lifestyle choice etc, etc. The “NORMs” and the “Knowns”.  


So when I speak of experiences I am referring to my level of absorption of a scenario in my Norms and Knowns and when I speak of a test, it is when I found myself needing to act from a place of the wisdom I had gained from realising my God/dess state- giving each situation its merit for having re/appeared, giving me the opportunity to respond from that space I had been cultivating within. I had to. The light was too bright to turn down. The awareness heightened. It was also a matter of integrity. It still is and I realised it will always be, on this journey. The truth is greater than any other existence and once we have realised it, there is no turning back or turning a blind eye to. We are God/desses living as humans. And once realised, there is no reversing from this state from which we always feel and operate. If we don’t the results I observed manifested a tired, depleted, fearful, back-stepping, shy, insecure, irrational, selfish, ego-driven me. Yes I beat myself up for feeling fearful, tired, depleted, insecure, irrational, selfish and ego-driven. I suddenly commenced spending long deciphering these negative states (despite them making up a part of probably 20% of my Norms and Knowns) and ended up cultivating space for that state. And as we know a thought is the sole seed from which our actions develop and manifest through us into our universe. So did mine- into actions I took, that only presented themselves in the form of harder tests for me to take.


Tests are situations that represent the result of our deliberate actions. Our deliberate actions are influenced by our projections. Our projections are our thoughts. Our thoughts are created from our perspective. Our perspective is a reflection of our impression and conditioning. And our impression and conditioning are made of our experience of a situation.


And everything being connected to EVERYTHING – these situations (although only being 20% of my Norms and Knowns) started to have a ripple effect on the other 80% of my Norms and Knowns.Yes! I let it become significant. I realised in the end that is exactly what I needed to do though. Or perhaps it was my inner light that assisted and allowed me to do it - get closer to my truth. I essentially trusted in taking a step, even if an unwise one. I needed to do exactly what I needed not to do in order to identify my power. Then came the realisation that while I allowed this ego / state  to take full form, I was able to let it get close. I also experienced the light surge in, in the form of my ability to identify the ego of this dark space and its power. So the test now was much in fact simpler and not as hard as I had projected it to be. In having the ability to then go back to the actual situation / the test and seeing that it was actually an undeveloped yet an already known one that I had put myself to the test for. And instead of going at it full force I needed to approach it from a place of softness, compassion, fearlessness, lightness, security and all honesty, but also truth. This meant I had to first acknowledge - I actually had no life-wisdom / or tact for its type. I had to face my human EGO that projected this situation.


More significant was the next step – While I felt a smile appear on these realisations it came to me that the reason behind the prolonged dwelling in the mere 20% of my situation was that I had forgotten that I was a God/dess that was living a human life. That by having had a realisation of my higher being-ness I did not have a magic key to all doors to all the levels of consciousness my universe is capable of giving me. It is only by realising my state in each situation of being a God/dess, which is by being aligned to my truth, and taking steps from that space is what will be my key to the next level of experience for each test. 


So it is from that understanding, that space, that place of empowerment I am speaking today that helps me remind all of you, that while we are a God/dess, we live a human life. We must practice being compassionate, fearless, soft, vulnerable, patient, wise, careful and sensitive, in all circumstances. We must cultivate a space for our human nature to unravel and evolve. With trust in our light we can look into the eye of the darkness within. That this is also our responsibility toward ourselves. To learn OF the truth. 


This is all because we have a greater impact than what we will ever manage to see with our own eyes. But we must always remember that it is not beyond us to cultivate the ability to grow from our vulnerabilities, failures or blocks. Because we are humans. It too has a dimension of light and shade. And it needs support from the God/dess in each of us in order to evolve.


And this is how the God/desses evolves to their being-ness as humans.

Just who is a God/dess?

Every single living thing! Any thing that pretty much has a vibration of existence on planet earth is a god/dess. Thus simple existence poses it is / he or she is a God/dess. But the question specifically posed to Humans - We are all God/desses! My piece "A noun for our embodiment" ( http://thenewagegoddess.blogspot.com/2010/09/noun-or-our-embodiment.html ) is based on when I established that God / Goddess is just a stakeholder name for the energy field we project into our realities with a focus on how we can access the bottomless pool of our highest energy that impact the world / universe we live in.
Moving forward, the purpose of asking this question on Who is a god/dess is really to bring focus to accountability and responsibility of being aligned to the god/dess within. Its really about how we can get past being who we are as physical identities on the surface level of what we call life and act with the powerforce we have within; that is the God/dess.

It is understandable that there are some identities that (we adopt) and spend a lifetime fulfilling it's purpose / the responsibilities that are somehow prescribed systematically through time like being a parent or someone's brother / sister, but there is still another role we must play and that is to be our authentic self for the simple reason of our existence and the potential of the impact our authentic vibration has in the universal space we all share.

The commonality we all have beyond all our stories is that we are all the same thing that is a God/dess within. We are all living for love and we all want our universe to thrive on only love. There is awakening and there is also the dormant, we need both for the flow to continue but it is why we have the sun and the moon as time keepers to help manage our projections of our energies. When one side of the planet sleeps the other is awake and beating the pulse of love, sending it out to those that will awaken when the day arrived for them. What I am trying to say is that there is sense in becoming aware and taking accountability in keeping our side of the world (wherever we live) clean and filled with love with our authentic energy. Always be aligned to our higher self so the equilibrium of LOVE stays invicible. In other words, the alliance of our Yin and Yang continues to create the frequency of balance and harmony.

There is value in being authentic on a personal level, as we all have the hunger for freedom from the thoughts, feelings, situations, our unconscious self creates like the ones we see on the news about wars, famines, animal /human trafficking, financial burdens, diplomatic wars, communism etc.. you get the idea. There are imbalances in a whole heap of places and it is due to us (on an individual and collective level) being UNaligned to our God/desses. We are too attached to our identities forgetting the real purpose of existence, which is to be authentically human that needs to be of service to the rest of it's kind and not just for what personal identity it has chosen / has been given on the surface level of life. The value in being personally responsible is to be free of the identities history imposes on man and woman, projecting more light to the darkness alongside those that are on this mission already of awakening the world of humans (not just Oprah or Angelina Jolie :-) but ordinary free thinkers and travellers like Osho, Eckhart Tolle, Dalai Lama, Keisha etc).

Fullfill your gender's roles but also remember your other purpose - that is to feel full as a human. It cannot happen without you, because if you are not full neither is anything or anyone around you. Disattach from the layers life experience create, be free and light to embrace the present moment, bring out your torch light from within and light up the road for everyone else to see it.

Accountability is imminent in whatever we do - we can choose to be just an identity or the identity of why there are identities having the control to chose who we want to be rather than who we need to be ; that is the high energy force that we all are as God/dess.

Male-Female Polarities of the Human Body

Rest, Be & Shift

The purpose of a shift is realising the space we consciously create for ourselves. Shifts occur when we become aware of something and when we have a direct realisation of what has been happening has now manifested a growth in us that is making space for something new to take birth from what has been happening.

We are convinced of shifts being often a visible, action influenced, a result of movement, force, push and pull but a real shift can only be realised by letting all the push and pull, movement REST and Be in a space to feel and observe the growth that took place.

What I am saying is that a shift is not what takes place but what can only take place once we have had the realisation of what has taken place.

Stillness; It takes courage to break a pattern, taking the route known to learning something that may not be so familiar, stay silent and listen, stand in one place and do nothing, walk slower, breath consciously and realise that we may not be breathing fully, look in the mirror and really look inside our own eyes, touching consciously to feel our own sensations, finding things in the world that stand still. Not what is moving in the moving physical world where we constantly move with it to find the same things but never really fully experience or realise due to the speed and momentum.

What comes with experience? A touch, a sound, a smell, a taste etc they all register if we allow ourselves to realise how they make us feel. With this realisation we have a ripple effect within us where a realisation creates a new experience, which gives us new sensory information, which then creates the shift.

We are always complaining or at least thinking of why we are finding it hard to feel higher or feel happier or feel greater – but it’s not that we are not seeing, feeling, touching, hearing or tasting new things or travelling new roads to heighten our experiences, it’s of no good if we don’t realise or have a conscious realisation of what it is we have experienced to create the shift, space for our higher feelings, feeling of gratitude, feel and know perhaps the purpose of whatever we do are in fact all about realisations.

Days pass and nights fall, but it is possible to experience a shift each time we realise our experiences consciously, with stillness.

Thread to Strength in Softness

Adding another thread to the Strength within Softness piece-
If we take an ice cube for example - it is solid, cold, its hard, has shape and form and it is measurable. What happens when we drop it from a height or hit it with something stronger? It shatters and breaks into many pieces that may never come back to the same shape of the cube that made it seem so strong, shapely and measurable, i.e. Itself.

So where is the strength in an ice cube? What is it's making that makes it substantial for being what it is? It's water. Water is liquid, it is soft, has no shape or form besides its chemical properties which makes it visible, it can be measured too however it never can be as accurate as the cube it becomes when 'frozen' or when dropped from a height it lands wherever it needs to, still maintaining it's shape, even if scattered and never losing it's essential being.

The thread here to Softness being Strength is - we often mistake what has form, is measurable, looks strong, substantial to be the stronger reason to have faith in it. However, if we were to examine the essence of everything's being, it is evident that it is all the formless or fluid properties that we get formations from and that the strength really lies in the formless and not the temporaries or extinguishables made from it - like the ice cube.

Its time to have faith in the formless; Be the water and flow into wherever the current takes us with ease and pleasure having the understanding of our own essence, which is - everything that has form or a name is perishable / temporary and it is secondary to the formless.

Like they say - Ride the change, don't let it ride you. :-)

The strength in softness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvd0eiMOFHg&feature=related%EF%BB%BF
The strength of softness is stronger than strength itself because when something is soft it is liquid, fluid, flexible and it is boundless. There is never any concerns for walls, breaks or obstructions in our way because we are fluid from within and we can just glide through the blockages. Just the simplest way to feel the softness is a smile, when we smile the world naturally smiles back and with that starts softening.

There is strength in smiling on a tough day - so there is strength in softness. We fear softness as if to be soft we are weak but when we are soft, the strength of being fearless, openness is displayed through our ability to adapt and acceptance of whatever the situation is. There is strength is being soft.

If you listen to this track, there is a coarseness in the tabla and there is a softness in the sound of the flute and even though the sounds of these two instruments are defined as one being stronger than the other, the strength in the sweetness of the sound of the flute shows its strength.

There is strength in the sound, look, feel and being soft. Regaining softness from what makes anything a coarse is Strength.

Hope you enjoyed the track as well.

Acceptance & Being

Our purpose is to serve, with that in mind we must always work toward
being complete and ready within ourselves to be able to serve when the
opportunity arrives and that is the reward to have been in a position to
serve, give and receive in the currency of the love we would feel for
our ownself to have been full and ready to serve.

A vibration of acceptance of happiness that took over me, from being in a position to offer and receive and to realise how important it is to shed light on the purpose of our being in any moment in life. There is magic in just being prepared, ready and aligned to the light within to experience the light in the surroundings that speak to us but often we are not connected enough to receive those messages. It is a joyous place to be able to be of service / have the ability to give, as it means we are receiving what we have within us- the gratitude and love for being who we are. Then we vibe this and our surroundings become the same. Be ready to serve and receive the rewards that enrich the experience of being a human (Love) Being - Mantra. 

What is it to be able to accept everything and anything? It is about being prepared. If it is all about non-judgement also, it comes down to being prepared and ready and full to be one with any experience.

What is being prepared and being ready within? It is to be one with the LIGHT, the LOVE, the Gratitude for the life force within, being one with the white, clean, present, sacred self, which does not allow us to fall in the past patterns, future plannings, just being one with what has been presented by our own reflections and how we are able to love and enrich the experience to draw more nectar out of what we already know has been the known but to also have the freedom to tap into the unknown. It’s the thread of quality we can’t experience if we are not aligned to our best quality residing within us. 

We hear it so many times that we only see around us what we see within ourselves and that we must receive with grace as we give with grace. However in order to be able to manifest such a way of being we must acknowledge, accept and bathe in the happiness / light / glow within to see that it is always being offered to us, just waiting for us to be ready to see, receive and be in a position to give it a reaction. That itself is giving; REACTION ; the force in our action that allows for the birth of new events, opportunities and experiences. Allowing the flower to blossom – with the flower being ourselves and what we react to. So, the mantra this season is being level headed and aligned with the light within, to be prepared and serve as that itself is reward to ourselves and the world encouraging selfless-ness and the abilities of our fellow Love (human) beings to be brighter and more connected to what is true to being a human on planet earth – to be of great service and be self rewarding, never waiting for validation, confident in our own energy that is our birth right, freedom of being complete with wherever, however and whoever we are. It is Magical and that is what life or the world we experience should be – Magic and Acceptance of the magic within us and Being one with it.

♥ & Alignment power with your Light
