  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: On earth as it is in heaven.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: Inviting and drawing that heavenly light, that heavenly love.
• 0:32
  down into every layer of the body every cell drawing it down
• 0:43
  into the most
• 0:44
  primordial swamp like textures avoiding nothing if there's some
• 0:56
  aspect of your
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: humanity your sacramental human journey
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: an inner child within you,
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: any part within you that feels ugly or forsaken or abandoned,
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: I invite and generally recommend not to avoid that,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: rather to
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Go into that.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Cradle any wounded part in pure grace as if you were the great mother,
• 1:32
  the great grandmother cradling your own wounded children to
• 1:37
  your eternal breast.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Hold all parts and aspects of your being
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: in the cozy blanket of unconditional love,
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: blanket all parts in the cozy blanket of pure love and grace,
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: wash all parts in the oceanic waters of life.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing needs to be avoided.
• 2:06
  This,
• 2:07
  this love that is here is already unconditionally embracing
• 2:16
  everything and
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: It seems to invite,
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: in a sense,
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: it seems to want to directly,
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: unconditionally embrace everything,
• 2:28
  any part within the total ecology of your being that feels cut
• 2:33
  off from it,
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: that feels desert-like,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: it wants to bring the showers,
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: the rains of pure love,
• 2:42
  such that that desert knows that it is fully loved and embraced
• 2:46
  and can freshly
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: blossom as an exotic jungle and exotic forest of lushness,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: of vividness,
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: of beauty.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: whole inner ecology of your being bathed in the love of Christ,
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: the heart of Lao Tzu,
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: the diamond heart of Buddha nature,
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: of Anandamai Ma,
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: unconditionally bathing all parts in that love,
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: in that grace.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: It is a beautiful,
• 3:24
  beautiful practice and feels to me like a natural movement of
• 3:30
  what is called
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: awakening.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes people distinguish awakening from healing or sanctification.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: In my own personal process,
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really sense these things as separate or distinct in any way.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: They feel like a natural movement of this nowness.
• 3:54
  This nowness wants to open all of itself into the inmost fires
• 4:04
  of loving grace,
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: the inferno of loving grace that burns as it's
• 4:11
  omnipresent center as its omni center point as the inmost
• 4:16
  center of the sun of what
• 4:17
  it is awareness wishes to in a sense wishes to wash clean all
• 4:34
  aspects and remind
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: and reveal to all aspects that they are of that
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: that one light,
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: that one presence,
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: that holy nowness,
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: holy wowness,
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: wholeness that we are,
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: that is always here now.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: So that is the invitation for today.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Ramana Maharshi stated that the pass of
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Janana and bhakti yoga are not separate.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: The paths of knowledge and devotion are not separate.
• 5:20
  They fuel one another in a way like twin dragons spiraling,
• 5:25
  like one DNA double helix.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's single-pointed devotion to whatever formless or formful
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: personal or suprapersonal,
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: face of divinity,
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: expression of divinity,
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: emanation of purest love,
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: purest grace,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: purest truth,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: purest wisdom,
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: resonates most deeply in your heart and soul.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: The single point of devotion to that loving God with all your heart,
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: with all your mind,
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: with your total body,
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: with the total infinite dimensional
• 6:04
  boundless vastness of your being creates a kind of purifying
• 6:13
  fire that everything
• 6:17
  can be offered to everything can be given to that fire that
• 6:22
  exquisitely gentle
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: flame of home of presence of
• 6:27
  Everything can be given to the oceanic waters of life ever
• 6:32
  present here now to be
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: cleansed,
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: to be restored,
• 6:38
  to be brought home and brought into the knowing that this has
• 6:45
  always been home and
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: every part has always been home.
• 6:49
  And yet that knowingness can seem to be blocked,
• 6:54
  can seem to be inaccessible
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: And so the entire movement,
• 7:01
  this entire transpersonal movement of awakening is in a sense
• 7:08
  of burning away of
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: the feeling that this is not home now,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: a burning away of the grasping for something else,
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: a feeling that something else is needed other than this nowness,
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: this wholeness.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: in a profound, profound sense, this is always it now.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: This is liberation.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is freedom.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: This is love.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: This is wholeness.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is enlightenment.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: This is God.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: Here it is.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: We found it.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're always standing on the finish line in a deep, deep sense.
• 7:42
  And that itself is a very powerful,
• 7:45
  very freeing,
• 7:46
  very liberating contemplation.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: And at the same time, this wholeness invites and continuously does
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: open to itself,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: open to itself,
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: every moment of fresh revelation,
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: every moment the light of pure being,
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: of pure awareness,
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: floods and bathes all things in its radiance,
• 8:15
  all things that arise into that radiance and some parts and
• 8:20
  aspects of it,
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: of us,
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: can seem to be
• 8:25
  hidden from it can seem to be locked away or buried in the dark
• 8:29
  basement the dark
• 8:30
  caverns of of the body the psyche and and that's where things
• 8:37
  like shadow work
• 8:39
  inner child work somatic exploration plant medicine work can
• 8:44
  all be very valuable
• 8:46
  valuable for excavating those those hidden caverns that seem
• 8:51
  somehow to be buried
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: or cut off from
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: this wholeness,
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: even though they truly are not,
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: excavating those and letting all of that,
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: all of that content,
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: all of those parts and pieces,
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: aspects,
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: energies,
• 9:11
  inner children at every age and stage to come into the
• 9:18
  totalizing embrace of
• 9:21
  the father,
• 9:22
  the mother,
• 9:22
  the great-grandfather,
• 9:24
  the great-grandmother of all that is.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: The father's arms are open wide,
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: the mother's arms are open wide,
• 9:30
  and feeling that and adopting that as a stance toward any and
• 9:40
  all energies that may
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: arise within us,
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: avoiding nothing within ourselves,
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: welcoming it all into that all-blanketing,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: that all-embracing lovingness,
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: gracefulness,
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: in my experiences,
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: is the deepest medicine that naturally unravels the knots,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: heals,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: cleanses,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: alchemizes,
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: sanctifies,
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: transfigures in a way that is
• 10:16
  supremely intelligent beyond our finite uh mortal intelligence
• 10:25
  and over time it
• 10:26
  feels less and less like something you are doing or that you
• 10:31
  even need to try to do
• 10:32
  it's just what is happening everything becomes in a sense grist
• 10:41
  for the mill or
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: fuel for the fire um
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: which can sound a bit harsh,
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: a bit intense as a metaphor,
• 10:49
  but it's more like there is this exquisitely gentle and
• 10:54
  all-loving inferno that
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: arises,
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: this burning fire of presence,
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: of pure presence.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you know intrinsically that that presence is home,
• 11:05
  that you can fully trust and fully have faith single-pointedly
• 11:09
  in that divine
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: presence,
• 11:10
  in whatever expression of that divine presence resonates most
• 11:15
  deeply with you.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: For me,
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: the word Christ resonates most deeply,
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: and I see all as Christ,
• 11:31
  even as I can also tune into the focal point of the personal
• 11:35
  emanation of Jesus,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: and that is an incredibly powerful,
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: heart-opening portal for me.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: And over time,
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: as I said,
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: it just begins to feel like this bonfire has been kindled in your being.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's blazing.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's burning.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing needs to be avoided.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: Anything that arises can be welcomed into that cradle of life,
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: that womb-like ocean of grace that subsumes everything into itself.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: that returns everything to its native essence,
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: that washes everything clean,
• 12:19
  dissolves the burdens of any part or aspect and allows every
• 12:24
  part or aspect to be
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: re-assimilated into and as
• 12:34
  its original luminous template that has always been there as
• 12:38
  its own latent nature,
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: its own latent home,
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: at-homeness.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's the invitation for today.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Those are some words that express my deeply personal experience of
• 13:02
  devotional sanctification as a natural expression of awakening
• 13:08
  devotional embodied
• 13:11
  sanctification and healing hope this has been valuable for you
• 13:19
  peace to all beings
• 13:20
  may all beings know grace peace and love i love i love you i
• 13:28
  love you person
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: watching this be well
