Three Types of Meditation

Understanding Meditation Rupert Spira’s teaching organizes the wide variety of meditation practices into three essential categories: meditation on an object, meditation on the subject, and non-meditation. Each represents a distinct approach to recognizing our true nature, progressing from effortful practice to effortless being. Meditation on an Object Meditation on an object involves directing attention toward something perceivable—such as the breath, a mantra, a candle flame, or even an idea....

Cancer SUCKS! This is a summary of my Journey with cancer. On March 22, 2018 I was diagnosed with Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) when a lesion on my wrist was biopsied by my dermatologist. My primary care doctor referred me to an oncologist who ordered blood tests and discovered some anomalies indicating kidney issues, so he ordered a PET scan. We were both stumped because KS is typically found in older Italian men, and people with HIV....

The Significance of "I AM" As I walk through this lifetime, I continue to unlearn the beliefs I was taught from an early age - I continue to hear falsehoods every day! I've come to understand the difference between perception and being. It has been a long while since I believed there was anyone or anything outside myself that is responsible for what I perceive....

"The turning of the mind away from the objective content of experience towards the source or essence from which it has arisen is the essence of meditation or prayer." - RUPERT SPIRA

Thank you, Scott, for reminding me of this excerpt from my personal philosophy on my blog. Thank you, also, for the beautiful photos of your garden!

I am working every hour of every day to let go of all expectations. That’s NOT an easy task! If I have no expectations, then I can’t be hurt by anyone or anything – and I can accept all things and all people as they are and love them unconditionally. I know it may seem like that belief may prevent one from striving to improve, but in my case that doesn’t work. I strive to become the most genuine and loving person I can be every day of my life. A daily question to myself is “How may I best serve my fellow human beings?”

"You are capable of guiding your own spiritual path from the inside out and don't need to be told what to do. You naturally have the ability, capacity, tools and skills to guide and direct your life meaningfully, ethically and effectively." - Jim Palmer

What if in reality - There is no past or future? What if all we have is "now"? If that is true - Then finding the space between thoughts (meditation) brings clarity to the peace "of knowing all steps in our journey" is simply an awakening to pure unconditional love. Just BEING and allowing Source Energy is all that exists. Life must be lived NOW. Enjoy every moment! ❤️🙏🏼

Does Popularity And Influence Bring Happiness?

It has been a long time since I published my thoughts, and during that gap in writing to publish to the public, my perceived world has changed quite significantly. Today I was reflecting on whether my happiness has anything to do with my influence.

Freedom and happiness come from surrendering to the process of getting to a desired destination. The outcome is irrelevant. Enjoying the journey to get to the destination is very relevant. It's all about EXPERIENCE.

Thank you, Rupert Spira, for one of the most clear and concise explanations of the Creation Story I have ever heard! 🙏

Is there a way of explaining creation from a non-dual perspective? A man who says he grew up with the creation myths from the catholic tradition asks Rupert ...

As long as we believe our purpose in this life is to change what we perceive is a conflict to what we think is “right” – in any way, we will struggle. For many, that desire and belief is so strong that struggle becomes suffering and pain. When we become aware that acceptance of all that we perceive was created by us, we become free from the desire to change it. The result of that awareness and acceptance brings with it peace beyond measure. All people, places and things become beautiful and we feel unconditional love for everything we perceive.

In fact, I am you, and you are me – whatever else we perceive outside of that, which causes us to put labels on it is just that – a perception of a moment in TIME. The only choice we have is how we decide to experience it. These thoughts and feelings help me navigate through the perceived chaos dancing around me every day.

If we choose to believe anything else to be truth – then, there are experiences we designed before we came into this life-time that are yet to surprise us until our awareness brings us to the conclusion that there is no time at all.

When our body (this shell of perception) dies, all that is left is Source Energy. We wake up to full awareness and understand that we were never separate from each other at all.🙏

I love life and especially enjoy making new friends all over the world. I would like to share my personal philosophy with you here...
