2428-IS THE NEW AGE REALLY COMING? | View Thread

Bliss234 I was faced with the task recently, on Don Murphy and Julien Wells’sExploring the New Ageradio show, to say what bliss was.

I’ve thought about this for a long time and I cannot say what bliss is. I can only say what it does. I can talk about bliss’s effects, but not about bliss itself.

The same with love. Probably the same with other states like trust and generosity: I can only know them by their effects.

A strawberry milkshake has a flavor that distinguishes it from a chocolate milkshake, but bliss has no flavor.

Lavender has a scent that distinguishes it from rose, but bliss has no scent.

Bliss and love are higher-dimensional states. They’re super-sensible and probably cannot be known in the terms of the lower dimension. So we can really only discuss their impact on us.

What bliss does for me is that it brings with it a feeling of total satisfaction, total satiation, total well-being. In bliss, all accounts are settled. There’s nothing that keeps us from being present.

Nothing is needed. Nothing is lacking. Nothing is wanted – but bliss itself. And that’s most fervently, unreservedly wanted.

Problems dissolve in the sea of bliss. All is well. We haven’t a care in the world.

What was a problem before is now seen simply as a situation. There are no unpleasant feelings like disappointment or resentment that go with examining it. And it matters not if we take Road 1 or Road 2. We have full confidence in ourselves reaching the destination. Well, in the case of bliss, the destination would be ever-deeper experiences of bliss anyways, ad infinitum.

If we get what we want while in bliss, well and good. If we don’t, well and good, because we’re already bathed in bliss. There’s nothing more to seek.

If we examine most things we want really deeply, we’ll see that what we’re really after boils down to bliss anyways. I’d imagine that, with the attainment of permanent bliss, desire itself would fall away.

Andrew Cohen once said that the reason we feel blissful when we buy a new car is not our new ownership but the cessation of the desire for a car. It’s the cessation of desire that allows bliss to arise. Bliss is always there but crowded out and overshadowed usually by our desires for worldly things.

Bliss is our nature, but we stray from it and go on what Archangel Michael might call “scenic detours.” Periodic tastes of bliss, like blips on a radar screen, remind us of what is truly worth finding … or perhaps uncovering.

Once we have a substantial taste of bliss, we want it ever after. Other desires and appetites pale before it and fall away.

	GFP Newsletter - 8/17/2016 Submitted by will on Wed, 08/17/2016 - 21:50 It has been always a great moment in the lives of disciples when the Master leaves the body. And it is possible because the Master can know when he is going to leave the body - he can collect all those who have been his fellow travelers moving in the same way. Now that he is leaving he would like to give you his last gift. As the Master opens his wings towards the other world you will feel the breeze which is incomparable. There is nothing in life to which it can be compared. It is sheer joy, so pure that even to have a little taste of it is enough to transform your whole life. -Rajneesh

	Take Joy in Singing Wed, 08/17/2016 - 18:05 God said: You may well know by now not to bow to your ego. I know you do your best. You don't always know what is your ego, what is whim for some kind of exaltation, or what is desire for Truth. Go for what is in your heart and be not attached. Fine, desire with all your heart to sing. Go ahead. Yet know that the joy is in the singing and not in what the world or your mother makes of it. You don't have to be aggrandized in the eyes of the world. Your singing does not have to be popular. Sing for the love of singing. If you reach the Hit Parade, enjoy being on the Hit Parade. Just don't let reaching the Hit Parade go to your head. You know all this. What you may not have thought about yet is not to fan the flames of other people's egos any more than your own. Yes, you want to uplift others. You want to inspire others with all your heart. You are not looking to earn brownie points, however. Get the difference? There may be a fine line between flattering another for your own purposes and singing true praises. It may be We are speaking here of your motivation. The desire to give another confidence in himself is a far cry from your wanting to increase your value to another. You do not extol another in order to enrich yourself. You don't butter up a teacher in order to increase your grade. Of course, be courteous. Be courteous for the right reasons. When someone does a good job, say so. This is not about making yourself feel good. Your giving true congratulations isn't about lifting your ego. Your desire that you can feel good is about ego. Somewhere you do know the real story. You know, you may have thought you were smart or clever, yet the point isn't that you are to be smarter or more clever than someone else. It's possible that you are swelling your own ego. It is possible. In this case, you may be using another's heart as a way to make you feel good. Perhaps you are trying to be a do-gooder. Be good unto others, yet not a do-gooder be. A do-gooder tends to pin a medal on himself. It is somewhat like the difference between being sincere and honest. That you are sincere for your own benefit isn't quite the same as being honest in earnest. You may be sincere in what you profess, yet not fully honest in that you don't live up to your sincerity. You may be wearing flourishes that you fool yourself with. The meaning of being true to yourself covers many layers. We are not talking about someone else right now. We are talking about you. Encourage others, absolutely. Inspire others, yes. Flatter others so you can curry favor? No. We come back to being simple. Here is a real-life situation. You want your father to give you money for a purpose important to you. Then, to fulfill your desire, you might cater to your father so he will give you the money. Be good to your father in the beat of your heart and bless him and support your father all the time, not only on special occasions that matter to you. A particular situation may seem life or death to you at a given moment. Certainly, you desire the money. You don't want to be clever as to how you ask for it, however. The fact is that to give you the money or not is your father's choice. Give your father the freedom you also desire. Truly, honor your mother and father. Be understanding and grateful to your father all the time. Then there is no question of your catering to your father for your own need. To enter into a relationship isn't the same as catering. Foremost, be honest with yourself, beloved.

	THE ORACLE REPORT "SILENCE AND SPACE IN NATURE" TAKEN BY WISE OWL KATJA Friday, August 19, 2016 Full Moon Phase: clarity, revelations Moon in Pisces Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Bhairavi, Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart, Goddess Who Calls Forth the Inner Hero Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South Skill: release and realign True Alignments: making contact, information exchange, adventurous, greater and better methods, gathering, quests, preservation, gaining, multitude of options and possibilities, the essence of things, empowered, breathing more freely, smooth Catalysts for Change: blind spots, false flags, sacrifice, ritualistic acts of darkness, giving away one's power, enmeshed in the material world and/or in base instincts to the detriment of one's spirit, denial, panicky, dogma, trust issues, frozen in time and unable to move, clouded judgment, pushing buttons Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "an evening lawn party of adults" (gathering, reflecting, expanded perceptions, ease) Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (the course of humanity's renaissance) Get ready to become a Mental Giant today. Today's energetics seek to teach us and heal us of thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and feelings that hold us back. The primary targets for shifts in understanding relate to perceived losses, broken hopes and dreams, and things that have "failed." With the release of these restrictions of the mind, we are free to grow. "Soar" would be a better word because the sheer power of the potential to shift our understanding takes us far above the way things have been, far above the way we have felt. This is a mighty statement, with a lot to live up to, but the energetics deliver with Mercury making opposition with Chirontoday. Mercury rules our thoughts, thought processes, communication, and information analysis. Mercury is discharging the energetic of "a flag at half-mast in front of a public building." Our thoughts naturally turn to grief and loss. Chiron rules the hero's journey, teachers of teachers and healers of healers, the quest for knowledge, mission, service to the fellowship of humanity, self-sabotage, learning, and recovering (amongst a plethora of other things -- the mythological Chiron was something of a "Renaissance Man," so the list goes on and on). Chiron is discharging the energetic frequency of"the purging of the priesthood." We are naturally taught a new (higher, more advanced) perspective and from it we are healed. The past is purged. Chiron also rules cutting (surgically precise, in fact), so the "purge" or split from the past is more like a clean cut. This is a great blessing. Freedom from tyranny over the mind is exactly what the fellowship of humanity needs more of at this moment. As the release occurs today, questions arise. What was actually "lost?" Was it what we thought it was? Was it truly a loss? Could there ever be a loss of the heart of it? The Mercury-Chiron dynamic sets up just as the Black Moon moves to 11 Scorpio and the Sabian symbol of "a drowning man is being rescued." Rescues from the Waters of Scorpio are welcome. This will be in effect until August 28. With this today, alternatives are shown. As the old thoughts and beliefs fall away, new ones are revealed. The mental and emotional energy trapped within what limits us is freed for other pursuits. This comes about from the Earth discharging the energetic of "a tree felled and sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter." The new alternative are more sustainable and benefit us more. Old uses and functions are transformed into new ones. Our minds are already hyper-engaged in thought with the Mercury-Chiron opposition, and there is added chatter with theSun disseminating "many little birds on the limb of a large tree." We may feel "scattered about," but there is plenty of room because the symbol tells us the tree is large. Going out on a limb is quite natural today. This is good because it enables us to go far into the unknown (or into the recesses of our minds) to get what we need. It enables us to see the entire "field" of the past, how it has affected us, and how we would rather things be now. WE get to choose! Note that the symbols for the Sun and Earth both involve trees. Trees are the "neural network" of Gaia Sophia. They link heaven and earth. Let's feed a tree a happy thought today. Finally, pieces of information that are needed to help us shift our perspective may very well come from an outside source. Venus is discharging the energetic of "two girls playing with a Ouija board." (I caution against Ouija boards.) Inner knowledge does not occur in a vacuum. We are social beings who deeply interact with our environment, which includes the minds of others. We make our own assessments, but we play on the playground of the mind of Gaia Sophia with the rest of the class. Key information and messages can come from unexpected sources. So are you ready to grow today? Are you ready to engage your Mental Giant? The only thing we have to lose is what holds us back. Happy Friday/Mental Giant Day, wise owls! Mantra for the Second Renaissance and the Return of Wisdom All roads lead to Liberty. Sophia ki Thelete acousome. Wisdom and Will, let us attend.
