The dark heart considered the lowest state of huma
The dark heart considered the lowest state of human evolution according to vedic wisdom. A prevalent state of being during the dark cycles. Accordingly humanity is now ascending into a propelled heart state as folk desire to learn the real nature of the universe.... With the propelled state of heart is the struggle to clear ignorance, evil, meanness,doubts, confusion as collectively there is the desire to determine what is truth. Seek divine counsel .... for now is the time to dwell in the expanding state of the heart.... PRACTICE WELL & STEADY FRIENDS as we navigate the propulsion of the heart. #fivestatesofthehumanheart #holistichealing #deeptruths #yogainspiration

The great jnanavatar (incarnation of wisdom) Swam
The great jnanavatar (incarnation of wisdom) Swami Sri Yukteswar wrote this timeless classic #theholyscience at the turn of the century ad 1900. He offers an illuminating perspective that ties into the ascension of consciousness that we as blessed souls are currently experiencing. Accordingly we are a good 300 years into the ascension cycle of the daiva yugas in a stage of development known as dwapara yuga... which has a period of 2400 years. Transitioning from Kali yuga ( dark age) into a cycle whereby the world is seeking out spiritual knowledge. there are two further yugas...treta and satya that complete one full cycle of 12000 years. #electriccouple #vedicastrology #illuminatedsoul #gratitude #swamisriyukteswar #kryiayoga

Though i don't consider myself a buddist you will
Though i don't consider myself a buddist you will find many a buddha in my home for that which this iconic idol represents. a beautiful gift from friends @ruthgustafsson 🙏 many years past. The bumps on buddhas head represent the merging of shiva/shakti. In vedic thought one cannot exsist without the other..... Shakti as the feminine + Shiva the masculine energies of creation. Shakti activates the kundalini .... #buddha #integration #pastpresentfuture

... learning how to let the wind blow through me..... An American Indian proverb which really resonates presently on all levels..

Nature + Self-Care: no doctor required
———–
Nature + Self-Care: no doctor required -------------------------- In what ways do you align yourself with life affirming natural & cosmic law? Found in the pulse of the seasons, the nuances of our unique enviornment. In right relationship with our animal mineral and plant allies. ------------------------ Self care is the antidote to a culture of fear that surrounds both life & death. In a culture that is programmed and dictated too, currently there is a swing towards anti-life. For those whose senses are refined anything that is not life affirming, not imbued with pranic love will never be a true panacea for any ailment and reveals a glaringly obvious anti-life movement. --------------------------------- Discernment is key use it wisely. ------------------------------- Am I aligned with practices and habits that uplift, rejuvenate, detoxify and steady my body and nervous system? Am I reacting in fear? -------------------- Practice well friends - as your find your own unique ways to support your alignment with natural and cosmic law #antilife #ayurvedaselfcare #nofear #nature #naturalliving #seasonalroutines #organicfood #nospray #letlifelive #no1080 #cosmiclaw

"if he (the teacher) is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind" Kahil Gibran ________________________________ In reality - we have no guarantee that ANYTHING we here is truth.... _______________________________ Truth is according to your own sense of who you are. Who are You? _________________________________ Do you trust your own SELF? ____________________________ If so, then you are armed with discernment to determine if you can trust the information presented to you Practice well friends #informationoverload #wrongknowledge #rightknowledgecorrectswrongbehavior #kaliyuga #thetruthisinside

In this age of information: How do you discern truth? _______________________ We know that media images & narrative promote certain points of view which challenge knowledge. We know that information can be distorted. We know that governments are seeking to control narrative by controlling media, and governments essentially seek authority over the people. ------------------------------------- David Frawley says that: "in our world today information technology is not enough to give us truth. We must master media programming from the place of inner knowing. _____________________ According to the Vedas there are two forms of knowledge: ATMA - inner knowledge the highest knowledge and ADVIDYA - ignorance, outer knowledge. When we beyond the construct of the mind advidya, we are then armed to slay ignorance and all the ways it plays out including media and technology. ---------------------------------- As we ripen into the full experience of who we are, our capacity for discernment expands and all information will come. We are able to tune into the highest knowledge and know that anything that is not that: is simply delusion. _______________________ #mediaprogramming #truthstrangerthanfiction #atma #advidya #vedicknowledge #ageofinformation #mediate #practiceyogachangeyourworld
