13. Our First Responsibility


This topic concersn every body. The Waterloo group in Canada identified the following aspects as their foremost responsibility in their live discussion and meditation session on June 6/04:

1. To live fully; healthily, wealthily and wisely.

2. Be myself ( I am what I am).

3. Help others.

4. Know myself

5. Have a purpose/meaning

6. Happiness

7. Love

8. Be your own Best friend (self-sufficient).

9. Be productive/Effective

Before we can become anything (from the above) we have to be knowing it fully. For a wise person, knowing comes first and doing comes afterwards. And it is also called AWARENSS as it is consistently concerned with:

- Lifting our spirits

- Moving forward

- Helping others do the same

In living of our lives, AWARENESS is our first responsibility. Awareness is an awakening/enlightement and it has three aspects to it:

1. Intellectual Awareness: This is a good start. In fact, knowing starts from here. We need to allow it. Once we allow ourselves to know, then we look for various sources of knowing. In this case the sources are: dictionary, internet, books, library, seminars, people and so on. In spite of all these sources, intellectual knowing is on the surface only. It is limited as many things are subject to many assumptions, concepts and personal realities etc. It is not deep knowing as there are still questions, doubts and confusions.

2. Core Awareness: With intellectual awarenss under the belt, we good deeper within us into our core where in our own silence we experience core feelings and emotions. When we know on this level within there are no questions, no doubts and no confusions. It is a deeper knowing. It is a complete knowing. All the cells within us know and they are imbued with this knowledege. However this knowledge is within the individual core. The core of Being aligns in truth and awareness, seeing that each cell knows, and consequently everything knows. When one sees from the very core, it is like the core has its own eyes to look at, to see, to observe. When you see from that place there is no question, no doubt. It is really a freeing place.

3. Supreme/Universal Awareness: When the cells within us know, they feel empowered and start to glean over the universal/supreme energy/power that sustains the whole universe. By so doing they establish a close link with them and as a result they consistently know more and more as the universal energy is consistently evolving. A unique partnership is developed and in this supreme partnership our knowledge becomes keeps enhancing and more uptodate. This partnership when refelected spontaneously and effortlessly in all our actions indicates full awreness on the individual's part.

Remember:

.. Supreme Nature/energy is immutable and transcendental.

.. That it underlies all the elements, underlies all the forms of the gods and sustains all the sacrifices.

.. One who truly knows That and conducts himself/herself accordingly, gets release from old age, disease and death. They will come to know Brahman/Infinity, the individual soul (core), and all about action as well.

.. Four types of people have some kind of aspiration to know that Synergy/Supreme Power/Energy:
    . those in distress
    . those seeking knowledge
    . those seeking enjoyment
    . those endowed with wisdom


That Synergy is supremely dear to a person of wisdom and this person is dear to That Synergy/Power as well. (mutually dear to each other).

Now taking ' Love" and other personal items of foremost responsibilty through this exercise:

Core Group Sharing of Love

- Liberation (In a mode of peace, joy and love felt free any expectations/conditions. Arrived home.

- Happiness

- Desire to manifest/express love. Felt light.

- Peaceful/Tranquil. Whole (nothing else needed).

- Connection, joy and happiness.

- Warmth/spark/ energizer

- Motivation to do positive things

-Open to love

-Presence of all

All these experiences are

-Beyond time, space and place
-Beyond status/profession/education/dress/form/label
-No science involved
-No cause and effect.


ESSENCE:

-Core Love is Divine. Is what it is. ..."I am what I am".

-Core Experience is a Divine (pure/Godly) Experience

Similarly, the core experience of "Be myself" revealed:

- I am a part of everything.
- Connection
- Acceptance
- Clarity
- Trust
- Need to give more attention to 'Be myself'.


Similarly, the core experience of "Helping Others" revealed:

- Tremendous amount of self-satisfaction

- Connection with the Supreme Power

- Presence of God as Mother Teresa experienced the presence of God in whatever she did as a selfless service.



Essence:

- Do whatever you do from your core and you are whatever you are.

What Stops us from the core experience?
- Expectations. Too much wrapped up with results
-Fear (Self-created)
-Past conditioning
-Not PMP...monkey mind
-Directive energy not used to stop the above mentioned stoppers.
Are you now aware:

1. What are your aspirations and what they will do for you?

2. What is already working for you and you aspire to maintain that?

3.What is not working for you and you aspire to change or get rid of that.?

4. What are the new things you wish and why?

5. How to go about in having continuous divine/Godly experiences in regular living of life? ( As a starter, pick up any experience from the above list, dwell within and Be that core experience. Thereafter, keep on expanding to other areas.)



Conclusion

Make core awareness central to all you do...whatever you do. The more you do that, the more you will experience the divinity/Godliness in you. Keep expanding till this God-experience becomes spontaneous and natural to you. That's your original nature. Be That!!!
