Imagine yourself, for a moment, absolutely awakened in your self-expression. Totally free. Feel the power, the fearlessness to be who you are, and give voice to your innermost longing. To dance the Great Dance. To burst into song. To unleash, to unwind, to let go. To spread your mighty wings and soar like an eagle through the deep majestic skies of possibility. Inspiration and exhilaration pouring through your veins like honey nectar. Vibrant, radiant light, emanating consciousness, emanating life. There is no challenge too great and no hurdle too large.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe. The very air that we breathe and the prana that sustains our life is this divine energy. To be in sacred space is to feel the opening within us to experience unconditional love for everyone, for everything, for ourselves. It is appreciating the beauty of nature, being in a perpetual state of wonder, and feeling deep reverence for each miracle of creation. It’s seeing life through the eyes of a child and taking great delight in the infinite play of energy all around us. Life becomes a joy. We begin to see reality in all its magnificence. We become aligned with truth….. Read more
Dying Into Life, A Mystical Journey to Divine Love, by Robin Wing
Grace is profoundly mysterious, often coming to us in ways that do not feel like grace at all. The truth is we are only given that which we are totally and wholly ready for, that which has been precisely designed for us to fulfill our destiny, to fulfill the very reason for which we were born. As challenging as life may seem sometimes, if we really allow ourselves to surrender, to let go and to let life unfold, we invariably and unmistakenly recognize the greatness and perfection of every experience.
For the first twenty-five years of my life, I had an intense fear of the dark. I had a fear that there was something or someone lurking in the shadows, in the closet, behind the couch, under the bed - some force wanting to harm me. It never occurred in the presence of another, but when I was by myself in the dark, fearful thoughts would often start creeping into my mind. I would either remove myself from the scene, or turn on the light and investigate. Although I always found there was actually nothing to be afraid of, the experience nevertheless reappeared again and again.
After moving into a yoga ashram (at age 22), I slowly began to consciously explore and work with this fear. Upon arising in the early morning, I would often go out for a walk or a jog in the pitch darkness and solititude. Even so, I was only willing to go to a certain toleration point. I never walked too far from the main building, and if my fear ever became too intense, I would immediately return to safety.
At 3:30 am one morning, as was my usual practice, I went for a run down the mile-long main driveway of the ashram. I had never allowed myself to go to the very end, to the entrance of our property. At this entranceway, there were two large concrete posts on either side of the road. My mind had made up that it was dangerous to cross that line, that there was surely someone on the other side, hiding, waiting for me. So I would always turn around well before that point, and pick up speed for a few minutes, until I once again felt safe and secure.
On this particular morning, I felt very open to experience my vulnerability. My faith was strong. I knew in my belly this was a day for transformation. There was nothing I had done differently to prepare for this, it was simply the experience of grace touching me, pouring through me. As I approached the entranceway, my mind began to scream: “Danger! Turn around! Run away!” But this time I continued forward, and began to chant out loud: “I open my heart! I open my heart!”
Just before I came to the concrete posts, my mind deluged me with all its artillery - in a single moment aeons of images and fears - of blood and sorrow, pain and anger, helplessness and despair. I raised my arms up into the air as I crossed the point of no return, lifting my gaze to the heavens, and shouted: “I let go!” Exhilaration beyond compare! Death, birth, awakening and new life! And then suddenly: Quiet. So quiet. Like a raging storm that had suddenly passed.
I stopped and slowly turned around. I looked at the posts, noticing how simple and beautiful they appeared in the moonlight. I realized with astonishment that I was experiencing no fear at all. In its place was a fascination and an appreciation for this mysterious aspect of creation - the darkness of night, the perfect backdrop for the brilliant light of consciousness.
My fear of the dark has never returned. I love my early morning walks. I love sitting in the darkness. I love chanting under the stars. These devotional practices nourish me completely, magically, to my innermost core.
I understand now that if I can just relax and remain totally open, miracles come through. Fear transforms into love.
Some years later, I had a recurring dream that I was just on the verge of going into a coma. Perhaps it wasn’t even a dream, because I was usually aware that I was lying on my bed, half-asleep. It was very scary. I could feel my whole body becoming frozen. There was also, simultaneously, a tremendous pressure building up inside my head. I felt as though I would explode! I would struggle and fight with all my strength to wake up from this nightmare. I exerted every ounce of my willpower. Finally, after much difficulty, I would wake up. It was such a relief! I would literally shudder. It seemed so real.
The nightmare returned again and again for months. Over time I noticed there would always come a moment of choice. As the comatose state would begin to enter my body, I had an option. I could either fight, or surrender. To fight would be to force myself to wake up. This was the option I had always taken. To surrender, though, now this was really frightening! I had no idea what would happen if I just let go. Would I die? Would my head burst? Would I be in a coma the rest of my life?
One night, at the auspicious moment, I consciously chose surrender. I allowed my body to go deep into the comatose state. I allowed the pressure to grow stronger and stronger inside my head. It became so intense, I wondered whether I would survive.
Finally, my head did explode, and I shot into space at a billion miles per hour. I became absolute Light. Absolutely free. Fully alive.
When I awoke, I felt exhilarated. I had let go! I had surrendered. I knew this to be another very important juncture in my life. A turning point.
Not surprisingly, the dreams that troubled me for months never reappeared. Pure grace. When we let go of all control, we allow the hollowed winds of life to blow through us. Nothing remains the same.
There is no place on this planet, and no time to come, that will ever be more sacred than the experience we are in now. What makes it sacred is not the experience, but our total embrace of it. When we allow each sensation to be present in its unadorned majesty, this creates the opening for transformation.
In our final moments, as we are about to leave this body, is there anything else to do but surrender? Will this be an experience of holding on, of desperately clinging to all that we know, and all we are attached to? Will we struggle and toil until the very end? Will we resist the inevitable? Or will we relax and trust in Love’s embrace?
Who are we? Are we the body that we have so closely identified with, which now lies here at Lord Yama’s doorstep? No. We are eternal love. Eternal life. Eternal bliss. And this is a time for celebration and sunshine. Our soul is continuing it’s pilgrimage, relinquishing and renouncing this precious body that has served us so faithfully for many years.
What is there to do? Simply watch the unfoldment of creation. Be swept through the air, through the tunnel of life, toward the warm, radiant Love-Light that awaits us. Love is the only reality, the only truth. Love is the supreme teacher. Love is who we are.
We need not wait for the death of our body. Our whole life is a playground, a preparation for this blessed moment. Every time we let go of our fears and trust in love, we are cultivating the soil and sowing the seed for this ultimate passage.
Our planet earth is a most sacred place in which all souls come to grow. Everything we experience on this plane teaches us to surrender, to let go, and to be free.
