... And if I could but summarize thus far
all I have come to realize through life which is profound and
of greatest importance it would be:

When through the most sensitive of preceptors
... the heart, one begins to realize the sublime beauty and universality of one's higher nature, there begins a natural attraction and manifestation that
eventually overcomes all obstacles and challenges.

For man's dilemma is not so much one
of human nature, but one of human perception.

- Stripping away all acculturation, speculation &
otherwise, it boils down simply to trying to do your best
& be in your higher-self or nature, thereby regardless of
what-ever, one would be in alignment with
the divine or greater good.

Be Aware:

There is a final hurdle to self-actualization or true spirituality most are not aware of and only those with genuine purification of motive avoid. This is the often very subtle hijacking of one's aspirations by the ego. Co-opting by the ego should be interpreted in its broadest sense and can only be prevented by the most earnest and open un-going circumspection. It's worth noting one's ego should not be viewed as an aspect of evil, but rather a dimension of our-selves primarily manifested by insecurity. This insecurity and ego persistence is a result of ignorance of the far more beneficial qualities of our true and greater nature. Upon realization of the unlimited benefits derived from our greater nature the ego and its derivatives are willingly relinquished. Contrary to conventional thought it is they who through ignorance dismiss the far greater riches of their higher nature in order to preserve the ego, material and the transitory who are really the renunciants and impoverished. While such worldly adherences fragment the individual, community and world, those based on our higher nature i.e. humility, compassion and purification of motive unify. - For understanding and real intelligence isn't as much from the head as the heart ... and the integration of its best qualities diversely found in all fields its greatest expression.

It could be that God on this plane or world is largely irrelevant and impersonal regarding injustice and learning important lessons of real value the bottom line.

Perhaps the universe ebbs and flows maintaining equilibrium while all are presented with creative opportunities for greater harmonious refinement.

It would seem once a lesson is learned karmic debt need no longer apply.

Consolation for the weary:

When looking ahead the road forward seems so long and unknown, yet when looking back you've come so far and learned so much. As the greater meaning of this unfolds bear in mind the possibility that a cumulative threshold or decisive insight could be reached in which that which is called enlightenment or heaven is realized and thereby liberation achieved.

Therefore be comforted and at peace.

Footnote: Many perceive a greatness in such conveyances and although ethereal in nature sense a presence, a genuineness and innate majesty. Such greatness is not exclusive or more so than others, even if just awakening or still dormant, but an integral part of a far more comprehensive realm of awareness.

Why someone so human could become intimate and begin to express the universal and greater nature of things is a mystery. Perhaps the answer dwells in a willingness to shed the worldly influences of acculturation, remain open, fluid and flow, and in the deepest of longings to nurture the greatest sustainable and most inclusive comprehensive good.

What is most important is that such wonders can intuitively be awakened through the heart in anyone, then through purification of motive and thought cultivated and expanded to experience in all things an ever greater unifying integrity, transcending oneness and serene splendor magnificent beyond words.

Meditation & Prayer?

A Unique Approach.

* Removing the mental clutter, impediments and burden of the ego, etc. to connect and manifest greater inner and outer harmony.

We often ask God or universe for something, yet with our prayers in the process mentally fill the space with thought, desire, images or otherwise rather than naturally allowing God in. Even the leanest of meditations recommend some focal point be used. If there indeed be a God, the divine or worthy something why not just empty our heads and implicitly invite it in ... to fill the space ... which is probably where it otherwise would naturally be anyway. - Not according to our terms or expectations, but just as it is and will: realizing that at times this may include no response - Nothing, therefore not always expecting gratification, thereby instilling greater independence and even temperament.

I have found by using such an approach upon clearing and opening myself I soon experience a gentle serenity, then a non-attached harmonious connectedness in which all things seem in perspective often followed by a peace that passes all understanding.

Being sure to exclude the ego I may creatively enhance this state by seeing myself physically, mentally and otherwise as my optimal greater-self in comprehensive harmony.

Such a state even when un-enhanced can lead to a soothing caress, healing energy massage - like inner movement ... physical yet non-physical (very pleasant and consoling) then luminosity throughout ... Something you don't feel, but do ... yet just as real ... As though having another sense, another body layered ethereally within ... something you don't see, but do ... As though having another eye that truly sees ... with the ability to experience a wholeness and satisfaction in which nothing more is desired and all is complete.

If there was or is a Garden of Eden perhaps such is akin to the continuous state which truly makes it real.

Regardless, I've discovered such an approach evokes practical as well as tangible improvement in well-being and relationships which carry over significantly into day to day living. I've also found such a state more sustainable if inserted when ever possible into ones normal daily routine.

Could this be a simpler more direct and natural way to connect with God, universality or our higher-natures while improving well-being?
