Wisdom and Joy

Wisdom is a natural part of going within and rediscovering your Inner Self.  I am not necessarily speaking of textbook knowledge.  The knowledge I am speaking of is the knowledge of within, making use of your intuition.  A knowing and assurance will come into your life that was not there before.

Joy will be abundant.  Yes, life will still have its sorrow and other feelings, but the joy you feel is lasting Joy. It comes from your wisdom, your faith and knowing that all is well in your world because you see it all as a gift to be experienced from within and without.

Love and Peace

By continuously practicing going within to your Inner Self through the practice of prayer, practicing the Presence and meditation, one begins to walk with Love, Peace, Wisdom and Joy in their life, more and more.

You will begin to Love others that at one time might have repelled you. The love I speak of is a love that gives you the insight to know that they (those who repelled you before) are much more than who they think they are. They are also teachers for all of us in many ways.  Teaching us things we might have not been able to comprehend without their actions.  These lessons will deepen your understanding of all those you come in contact with, allowing you to come from your heart and not your anger or physical senses.

The Peace that you will find in your life is not one of walking on clouds, but one that allows you to experience life without it scaring you, as it would have before. You will no longer be as quick to anger as you once were.  People will notice that you have changed, but they might not really be able to put a finger on what it is that has changed.

Communion

So how does one commune with Inner Self? 

Prayer, Practicing the Presence, and Meditation are some of the ways.

Prayer is a very personal devotion for all of us.  In my case, I’ll simply say it is a way of communicating directly with either the Duality or Non Duality of God/Spirit/Inner Self.

Practicing the Presence can be reading scriptures or chanting the names of God.

Meditation is simply the unfolding of the silence within.  Going deeper and deeper within until I feel that peace.  It doesn’t necessarily mean that thoughts still don’t come and go.  They do.  I am just able to get to a place where I’m not fighting or struggling with them.  I have come to a place where I realize that it is just my part to experience them.

My meditations are usually assisted by listening to prayers or mantras by others, then silence.  Sometimes I focus on the seven chakras (seven temples/churches of the astral body), and at each chakra I will chant a mantra, begin to feel that chakra pulsate, and then move on to the next.  When all seven chakras have been aligned, I focus back on either the place between my eyes, or just behind the heart area and let the peace wash over me, letting any thoughts that come also was over me.

Inner Self

So what is our Inner Self?

It is that part within us that cannot be seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled. So we are not able to witness it with our limited senses.  Nor can we witness it using our intelligence.  Our Inner Self is not of this world, yet it is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss.

So imagine going beyond our limited perceptions and all the knowledge of this world and experiencing something that you cannot describe to others: experiencing a knowingness that cannot be explained…feelings that cannot be defined with words.  That is not an easy task for a lot of people. I think you can see why. For some of us, it may have something to do with stepping outside our respective comfort zones. While for others, it’s not that hard to do. But most of us can, if we really want to.  We can go within and discover our Inner Self.

The Inner Self is also known as our Soul or that light/spark of God within.  So it is not hard to understand why, when you are experiencing your Inner Self, you are in a place of Peace.

Saints, Sages and Avatars come from this place all the time.  They see and walk this planet from their Inner Selves, thus continuously experiencing Sat Cit Ananda, which is Eternal Truth, Consciousness and Bliss.
