Foundations

I want to build my foundations. I definitely want to. But at the same time I want an ardent spiritual practice to occupy a prominent position in my lifespace. I don't even call it life anymore. I call it lifespace. And heck I wanna do a lot of visualizations. This space wakes me up in a heartbeat. Nothing to worry. All chummy.

I began living deep in the forests, high up in the mountains, somewhere in a log cabin. And suddenly I felt disconnected from all of reality. It was like eating dark chocolate. The lucidity of thought. The thoughtlessness of reality. Reality snowballs into a thick fog of meaningless traps that serve nobody's purpose.

Even till my last breath, I kept building this vessel. Why? We are gods agents. 

There are images that come to my mind like that of a cow. A cow gives milk. I'm a book. A book you can read. My life is a book. I'm a book. 

I'm a book. I'm a vessel. I'm a book. I'm a vessel. There's existential inertia that blocks me from being a book. Just a little something I want to be so I can have that sliver of meaningfulness infused in my life. Every life has meaning inherently, even that homeless man on the streets of new York, literally every life is divinely sacred.

Why does a brightly lit room make me so happy. I can look at this room for hours and not get tired. It's because it's a Vessel. A room definitely feels like a vessel. A log cabin is also a vessel.

We're all looking for that flow state. The state of blur. The thing that just passes by and you don't notice. You can't capture time or experiences. A belief however stays longer.

What is a vessel? 

A vessel is a.... 

A vessel can be anything. 

A vessel can be a log cabin. A vessel can be a room. A vessel can be a book. A vessel can be a tree. A vessel can be a cow. A vessel can be a neon goby. A vessel can be a bird. A vessel can be a vase, a jar. Anything can be a vessel

Why do I call these vessels? 

Because they serve some purpose. A log cabin keeps you warm. Even a teacup is a vessel.

A bird helps in spreading seeds thus causing plants to grow. A cow helps with milk. A book is something you read and gain from. A vessel contains water, think of  a pot. A cup of tea warms you up for the day. A tree provides nuts and shade. A tree provides oxygen. A tree helps the whole ecosystem. A jar stores marmalade or wine for winter.

Imagine yourself as an ancient charging tower. A tall charging tower where all the phones of the world are plugged into you and you're practically charging all the phones on the planet, literally all the phones. 

How do you feel now? 

Yes. 

 

Yes. 

 

Yes, 

 

You're a battery charger. You're not a human, you're a book, you're a vessel, you're a battery charger. You're nothing, yet profound simply by your presence. This is your sacredness. Did you understand now?

You're the energy of the vessel. You're divine and sacred as you are. You charge the world. You're the vessel to carry the energy. All suffering shall pass. This is your satsang.

I have been following  Sadhguru a lot these days. He is the only one for me. The only guru currently. I don't know why. But he resonates the most and Linga bhairavi of course.

What If I thought of myself as the battery charger. The energy vessel.

I should have made a small shrine for just Linga Bhairavi. 

Now I don't have an option.

Linga bhairavi is the amalgamation of both internal non entropy and external non entropy. That's par excellence.

I felt Devi during my obe. Her intense glare descended on me. She made me feel warm and protected.

Devi should take me in. Absorb me and make me one with Devi. I'm the vessel. Now I really feel it. 

I understand now why Sadhguru follows Devi. Devi is very powerful. She does appear in my obe experience.

This life is an opportunity to experience and explore infinite love. And one shouldn't miss it. That's how I look at it.

What do you do with a battery charger? 

You simply plug it in. You give a signal by turning the switch on. You do the same here. You just signal and meditate on the nature of love and infinity. You meditate on the nature of stillness and you feel one with the absolute. 

 

Enhanced Communication Skills. ...

Strengthened Relationships. ...

Boosted Mental Clarity. ...

Enhanced Emotional Well-being. ...

Improved Physical Health. ...

Increased Prosperity. ...

Heightened Intuition. ...

Balanced Energy.

 

I felt bliss after reading this comment. Yes I'm empowered. 

Your Welcome, I was just thinking the other day after reading some of your recent posts and in the Self Actualization Journal part of the forum, you seem to have changed allot over the last months, from very negative to very positive and empowered, which is good to see, something has happened within You now so keep it going!!

I want to start a Devi practice every morning and evening. Early in the morning I want to offer flowers or ask to receive Devi's blessings. In the evening I want to offer praises and gratitude to Devi. 

 

 

Everything, everyday, eternally 

The purpose of the vessel is to connect with God. This doesn't require anything. I'm not sure if I'm going into esoteric blah blah. 

Anything that builds your vessel is good. Anything that breaks your vessel is bad. Kindness builds the vessel. 

It's simply surrendering to the absolute essence of peace. 

Nudging my ship forward bit by bit. Not trying to conquer anything

10 principles 

 

  1. Think and grow rich. Teachability. Knowingness
  2. Study different laws. Mental models 
  3. Exponential versus linear thinking 
  4. Taking ownership. 
  5.  We are not our thoughts. Every thought is not your true self which is pure awareness. All your thoughts are imported. We assume an identity that then aligns with those thoughts. We can choose to be joyful. We can be abundance. 
  6. Identity shifting. You tend to internalize whatever you say to yourself 
  7.  
  8. To tap into purpose 
  9. Optimize your conditions
  10. Choose to have faith

All you need are 4 things for a sturdy foundation in (my) life -

  • Awareness of what you are and what you want 
  • Vessel 
  • Power of discernment between toxic and non toxic 
  • Flow state
