How do we find our community?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“When I read a related book or take part in your group meditation I seem to reach a point where I feel that I have grasped ‘it’.
I feel that I’m almost there, almost free but connected but then when back to my life the feeling drifts away some.
I live in England and I would like to meet some like-minded people who share your teaching and therefore, help each other to stay in reality, here and now, in gratitude.
Deepak, can you connect us up?
I am getting older and have been struggling to find the freedom of spirituality and my reality.
I feel on the edge and can almost feel my freedom.”
Response:
When we have deep spiritual insight or inspiration we might feel if we could just nudge it a bit further or intellectually reinforce it, we could cement that state of awareness or reality and make it permanent.
But that’s only partially true.
Connecting with like-minded people and situations that support and cultivate open awareness will make you more familiar with your real nature.
But when we attempt to achieve this state of awakening as a kind of mental project that we will attain through effort in the future, we are subtly rejecting the present state of awareness and the situation we are living right now.
This presence of awareness — what we are experiencing right now — is our true self.
This quiet awareness in the background of all our thoughts and feelings is the self-awareness that our spiritual inspiration has glimpsed.
We don’t need to be in different circumstances or go to a time in the future to have that, we only need to relax and settle into that presence which is always right here.
If you want more people around who can help remind you of this truth, simply desire that and Nature will organize situations and open pathways that will support your intention.
Love,
Deepak
