The Thread
As I was reading some part of Ram Das website last night, this quote just kind of hit me deep inside so I thought I would share it with you!
"We’re determined beings to the extent that we are unfolding in a completely lawful and orderly way. It’s karma. I can look back through all the different minds of my life and see the same thread to all my successes, failures, epiphanies, depressions, cravings etc. Since I was a kid, the seed for awakening was there. I have been dancing the beautifully tragic dance and getting caught time and again. And then I see Blake remember, and he advances on to the next phase of his being. “If you could stand back far enough and watch the whole process…”
Remember the thread is always there no matter what!

Realty Television
Recently I've had a lot of free time on my hands so I spent several hours a day watching reality TV. At first it was quite novel and in some ways entertaining. Primarily most shows are a Birdseye view of other individuals, families, or businesses as they live and interact each day. Inevitably, they all turn into dramas and issues surrounding, drugs, alcohol,sex, fame, relationship conflicts, etc. etc.
By about the third month I began to tire of the same old story on each show being regurgitated again and again in changing circumstances and different forms. Then I realized that these lives of drama and tragedy are the basis of huge profit for not only the characters in these shows, but also for all the producers, employees, and networks involved. Millions and millions are being made at the expense of human misery and tragedy. It is almost as bad as blood diamonds that have financed civil war in Africa and all the carnage that it entails. We live in an age when the world needs to see and be inspired by the highest aspects of the human spirit and soul.Unfortunately, societies appetite for the opposite still grips both the individual and collective consciousness of humanity. Please remember when you watch these shows you are supporting this system of darkness and tragedy whether you understand it or not.

The Cure
The fundamental illness that afflicts most of humanity is ego identification and attachment. All suffering both mental, emotional, and physical is rooted in this! This illness distorts our vision of reality and causes us to suffer.So what is the prescription and antidote to this poison of attachment to ego and things? The prescription is tantra and the antidote is chakrasanvara, The Wheel Of Perfect Bliss!
When your soul essence and entire being is immersed in perfect bliss and totally satisfied, the grasping and attachment to ego will be cut and you will be free to move to the other side of the river of Life. So cultivating the experience of chakrasamvara tantra is one of the highest portals to your potential liberation! When you experience the deathless dimension within yourself and taste the essential bliss(ananda), you will know the eternal nature of your essence and the impermanence of your form profoundly! This then melts away the addictation to ego that grips us in fear. In that bliss experience is the seed of fearlessness. This is tha path of the peaceful warrior ( Shambala )

Remembering the Witness
Wherever you are remember the witness! Don't try to be somewhere else. Just witness where you are at now! If you are sad,happy, jubilant, depressed, or even horny, remember to just look at it from the witness position1 Don't judge yourself or be angry. There is a reason that you feel & think the way you do now. Accept it, feel it and move on. This is the path to liberation, peace and joyful bliss!

Losing a Spouse
When we lose someone that we love in any way, it is not necessarily a bad thing alone. Even though it is painful and difficult, it may be the only way in which to truly find oneself, which is much more important than having the "other"! The others existence is ultimately there to help us on our inward journey, not to become a fixed dependency which is then a barrier to our progess! Any loss in life has the seed of this potentiality! On the wisdom path one can recognize this and use it to grow and benefit! This then will help others realize as well. Your tragedy becomes a portal into the Tao of existence!
