Within the Grand Illusion lies illusion within illusion, one illusion on top of the other, illusion illusion every which way
Within the illusion that this life as experienced on Earth is life entire, lies the illusion that we can lose something and be bereft ~ Of course, it is a subdivision of illusion that loss exists ~ How many times have we lost something important only to find we haven't lost it at all? It was right where we left it! We had commotion in our hearts for no reason at all ~ Perhaps we couldn't find something and we want to wail, "Oh, something has been stolen," and then we remember where we had left it ~ when we thought something had been stolen, that was illusion within illusion
We portray within ourselves many illusive scenes within the Grand Illusion ~ The Grand Illusion of life has its value, or it would not be, yet we waste a lot of time in life ravaging ourselves with tiers of illusion ~ We not only think we can lose that which is not lost, we also may think that we can be lost, but really we can only be where we are at the moment
Where are we if not where we are?
The Truth is that we are together wherever our bodies are ~ Perhaps you stand in the middle of a forest, and you do not know which way to go to find the structure you call a home ~ You have simmply set up a puzzle for yourself; you tell yourself you must be somewhere else other than where you are ~ ou forget about the other 90% of life that goes on without your cognizance ~ You may not have found it, but it is going on all along just the same
Too often we may worry frantically over what has not transpired but could ~ We may worry about matters that are physical and about the more subtle as well ~ We may worry that someone else will no longer love you ~ There is no limit to the matters you find to worry about! Wonders transpire as well ~ Today we could find a treasure ~ Today we could love! Today we could be pleasantly surprised! ~ Tragedy does not have to befall ~ Glory can befall! Everything we desire can befall! Desire that which our hearts call to us, and let it befall ~ Crumple up concerns as we would crumple up paper and throw it away! Concerns are no longer of use to us ~ They never were! We do not need to get roiled up for what we do not wish to occur ~ Get elevated by what we do wish to occur!~ There is every likelihood that what we desire will come to fruition, perhaps even more wonderfully than we dared to dream of!
While we are in the Grand Illusion, while we are at it, make it Great!

Daily Mental Maintenance
Shall we all close our eyes for just a moment and think and feel what living with Siva really means? When you are tired of playing in the emotions, that will indicate that your soul is ready to take over and control the lower states of mind. Siva is always within you, always there. Through silence, quieting your mind, you can become That which you truly are and shine out through that which you thought you were... Your experience will have a healing effect upon the mind and burn away the past... Intensify the spirit within you and heal any wounds that the mind may have. As Mother Nature heals the body, so does Siva, the Self, heal the mind. Give yourself in to the real you. Turn your mind inward. Turn your will inward and live that glorious spiritual life and be ready as a spiritual being to meet the experience of death. Morning pujas are excellent opportunities for you to practice self-discipline, to offer yourself opportunities to change, to alter the habit patterns that have been built into your mind during the year. In these early morning meditations, you may learn to cease criticizing yourself and begin having a greater understanding of yourself. When you learn to stop criticizing yourself, you are able to appreciate the many experiences that you have been through during the year, rather than regretting them. Regret possibly is an experience more harmful than the experience you have been regretting. Some people actually live by a righteous code of ethics which offers a justification for constantly hurting themselves through regret, guilt or related emotions. Through your meditation you will appreciate your experiences for what they are--good or difficult. Simply make a resolution not to repeat the difficult ones and have faith enough to correct what your experiences have caused in the world as a result of your going through them... The first step in learning to rejuvenate your mind is being able to look objectively at your experiences. You will find this difficult to do, because you are so closely associated and identified with your mind. The mind claims you, and therefore you think that your experiences are the real you, but they are not... After your morning puja, take five minutes to write down on a piece of paper those things which disturb you. Write concisely and honestly, without reason or justification, what is burdening your subconscious mind. In doing so, you will release yourself from the reactions to those experiences. Burn the paper in a fireplace or garbage can (not in your shrine room), and realize that the experience is complete, finished, except for the wisdom which you have now derived from it. You will find that this practice, known in Sanskrit as vasana daha tantra, does much to make your subconscious transparent and give you a greater power and control over your mind. Making the subconscious mind transparent is a basic religious practice. Only when this is first done is it possible to make progress in seeking God. Try now to find Siva within you, the permanent Reality that never changes. Sri Ramakrishna, the great Indian saint, compared the mind's turning inward, seeking to connect itself to God, with the image of a little boy holding on to a rope tied to a post. The little boy swings on the rope and it winds him around and around the post. Then he swings the other way, still holding on to the rope, and the rope wraps him around the post again... The little boy represents man simply having fun and enjoying the experiences of life. He is perfectly safe as long as he holds on to the rope and the rope is connected to the post, for the post is God, and That doesn't move. The little boy we would call mind. The rope connecting mind to God is the soul, the indomitable will. And so, Shri Ramakrishna went on to say, if man turns his mind inward and keeps his mind looking within, he will see the reality of Spirit and the transient nature of all of the mind's activity. He may live in and enjoy the activity of the mind and never be hurt or harmed so long as he holds on to that rope, maintains his inward vision constantly and holds himself connected to the permanence of his own Being...

How to Enjoy the Shift
by Jim Self
______________________________
There is a change, a "shift" under way, that is affecting every aspect of our third-dimensional reality. This shift is so far-reaching that our limited imagination cannot begin to grasp the transition and change we are now in the midst of experiencing. This shift is affecting every aspect of life on the planet: political, social and economic structures, the environment, every institutional system, the wars, how we view our relationships, our work, every thought we think and every feeling we feel...
It is altering time, our memory, our DNA, the wiring of our physical and emotional bodies, our beliefs, our perceptions of good and bad, right and wrong and especially our awareness of what is possible...
The shift is composed of huge waves of light that hold massive amounts of information and instructions. These waves are rewiring our DNA, providing new electromagnetic frequencies to upgrade the body's physical, emotional and mental systems. These waves of Light are activating the fourth- and fifth-dimensional chakras, aligning us with a higher awareness...
This shift is providing new understandings of how to once again live in harmony with each other, the environment and All That Is. However, between this new "Heaven on Earth" and where we currently exist, there is transition...
This transition, as exciting and wonderful as it is, is creating difficulties for many. These difficulties are occurring as this pace quickens, but we continue to hold our third-dimensional beliefs and way of life as truths. We continue to argue for the right and wrongs, judge others for their actions or fix them because "we know better." These actions belong to the third dimension and they must be released. As long as we continue to hold these limitations, we will experience the affects of this shift within our physical and emotional bodies...
These affects are becoming known as "Ascension Symptoms" -- dizziness, confusion, loss of focus, headaches, fatigue and increased tiredness, digestion discomfort, anxiety and nervousness. You are experiencing time going faster. There is more on our plate and less time to complete it. We are losing aspects of our memories (no, it's not Alzheimer's). Things that were once very important are no longer as important. And most of us are feeling a heightened sense of distraction, coupled with an emotional sense that something is just not right. As we argue for our limitations and hold on to the old beliefs that no longer support us, we create a resistance or blockage within our four-body system, creating these discomforts...
The third-dimensional reality, as we have known it, is shifting. It is becoming far more grand, aligned and balanced, moving into a higher consciousness. Humanity is waking up, and as it does, the old structures that have supported duality, maintained separation and have controlled the masses with fear are crumbling...
As this new light finds its way into every corner of darkness on the planet, those who live within the darkness are beginning to recoil, react and become very noisy. They will scream the loudest to maintain the status quo. They are creating distraction, wars, economic failures and many other distractions to prevent this shift from occurring. They will, for a short time become very loud, generating much fear in their attempt to avoid this shift. They have already failed -- and they will be very noisy...
As this new light flows within each of us, we are now receiving new information, opportunities and choices that were not available to us in the past. These choices are now allowing each of us to step out of the fear, distraction and separation...
By grounding, realigning your energy fields, stabilizing your attention point and focus, you will make the bodies safe during the noise...
Grounding
Grounding is something almost everyone has thought about or considered. But grounding is not a thought; it is an action, a tool to dissipate noisy thoughts, anxiety and undesirable emotions that run through our bodies...
Please close your eyes. In your imagination, create an image of a beam of light, a line of energy, a tree trunk, a pipe or a chain. Then connect one end to the lowest tip of your spine, the first chakra. Feel the connection. Make this real. Then drop the other end of the line to the center of the earth -- the center of the earth is not very far away. See the line of energy grow roots and strongly connect to the center of the earth. With your mind, reach down and tug on both ends and feel the connection. Now, expand the line to about 8 inches in diameter and give it the command to activate and become magnetic. Take a breath and notice a relaxation...
Thoughts are electrical; emotions are magnetic. The command to activate allows the grounding line, a natural part of your body's operating system, to release thoughts and emotions that do not belong to you, but constantly affect you. These thoughts and emotions flow through the unprotected energy field, stimulating emotions, creating reaction and discomfort. Interestingly, the majority of thoughts you think belong to the world surrounding you actually have very little to do with you at all. But once they are in your space, they create a distraction, distort your attention and direct your life. Grounding minimizes this noise...
The Octahedron
Surrounding you are a number of energy fields, one of which you know as the aura or etheric body. The aura gathers, retains and files every thought, word and action that occurs within, through and around you. In other words, it holds a lot of information, much of which has very little to do with you. This energy field also is an antenna. It attracts frequencies of thought...
If you can manage the antenna, you can manage what the antenna attracts. Constructing this antenna around you creates a powerful energy field that aligns with the information of the shift and your own internal guidance system. In sacred geometry, there are five forms known as platonic solids that hold unique characteristics. One is the octahedron. It is one four-sided pyramid pointing up with a second four-sided pyramid connected at the base and pointing down...
Find a point about two feet out in front of you and, with your mind, place a dot there. Then place another dot two feet directly behind you and two more dots, two feet to the left and right of you. Place a dot about two feet above you head and another below you feet. Six dots...
This is experiential, not a mental exercise. Feel each of the dots and see them with your imagination. Now, from the point above your head draw four lines connecting to the four dots surrounding you. Then connect each of those four dots creating a four-sided pyramid. See it. Feel it around you. Next, from the point below your feet, draw four lines connecting up to the four dots surrounding you...
This will create as sense of containment. This containment is not a wall or a defense system; it is a safe vessel that allows you to move around without becoming affected by the noise. It also is an antenna, which aligns with the light and infinite intelligence being transmitted during this shift. The octahedron creates an alignment with all that you are and simply filters out that which you are not...
Experience and play with these two tools... As simple as they are, they will alter your conscious reality and allow you to enjoy the flow of the shift!

LOVE TRANSFORMS EVERYTHING
by David Karchere
__________________________________
This world was made by the transcendent power of Love, despite what human beings have done with it. Let’s open ourselves to that reality! When we do, we find that our experience of Love transforms everything..
TO KNOW LOVE as it is, to open oneself to that huge resource, a person has to stop controlling their life on the basis upon which they’ve been controlling it, and realize that there is inherent, at the core of their being, an already-existing poise, an already-existing authority, an already-existing power..
This world was created by Love. When we stop trying to control it and re-create out of any narrow-minded beliefs we might hold, we have the opportunity to stand in the place of Love and to be creators of our world from that standpoint. And actually, our opportunity is to be a creator of our world on purpose, rather than by default, because we’re creating some kind of world anyway. Humanity is creating a world by trying to make it conform to its many beliefs about how it should be. That attempt is followed by disappointment and severe pouting when the attempt is found to be unfulfilling..
We can own the fact that we are creating a world... Standing in transcendent Love, we create a world that is made from Love and not out of the unhappy insistence that people and events conform to our beliefs!
