“There is no thing in this world that is that important. As long as you believe it is important, you will never awaken. You can’t. For you are caught up in illusion. You are playing the game. You are still involved in the play. You’re feeling things. You’re reacting to things. You’re arguing about things. You’re debating things. You’re still not sure.”

Floyd Red Crow Westerman

We were told that we would see America come and go. In a sense America is dying, from within, because they forgot the instructions of how to live on earth.Its the Hopi belief, its our  belief, that if you are not spiritually connected to the earth, and  understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth, its likely  that you will not make it.Everything  is spiritual,  everything has a spirit, everything was brought here by the creator, the  one creator. Some people call him God, some  people call him Buddha,  some people call him Allah, some people call  him other names. We call  him Tunkaschila... Grandfather.We are here on earth only a  few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more  real then most of us believe. The spirit world is everything.Over  95% of our body is water. In order  to stay healthy you've got to drink  good water. ... Water is sacred, air is sacred. Our DNA is made out of  the same DNA as the tree, the tree breaths what we exhale, we need what  the tree exhales.  So we have a common destiny with the tree. We are all  from the earth, and when earth, the water, the atmosphere is corrupted then it will create its own reaction. The mother is reacting. In  the  Hopi prophecy they say the storms and floods will become greater. To me its not a negative thing to know that there will be great  changes. Its not negative, its evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it's  time, nothing stays the same .You should  learn how to  plant something. That is the first connection. You  should treat all  things as spirit, realize that we are one family. Its  never something  like the end. Its like life, there is no end to  life”

🕉 Bhagvad Gita. Chapter 6. Verses 26 & 27.

Wherever the mind wanders,

restless and diffuse in its search for satisfaction without,

lead it within;

train it to rest in the Self.

Abiding joy comes to those who still the mind.

Freeing themselves from the taint of self-will, with their consciousness unified, they become one with Brahman.

Harilal W.L. Poonjaji (Papaji)

“ ‘Who realizes or has realized the Self?’  ‘That is all a matter of words.

The Atman cannot be reached.

Apart from the Self, what else is there?

Who reaches the Self, except the Self?

Non-realisation is simply an excuse that one gives for trying to escape from the Real; and, continuing to lead with a clear conscience, a stunted life of prayers, devotions, and even asceticism,

all no doubt very satisfying to the little ego, but in fact utterly useless.

Has the Sun really set, merely because I have closed the shutters?

The fundamental obstacle to Realisation is precisely the notion that this Realisation is still awaited.

Of the devotees, who is the greatest?

Bhagavan: He who gives himself up to the Self that is God is the most excellent devotee. Giving one’s self up to God means remaining constantly in the Self without giving room for the rise of any thoughts other than that of the Self. Whatever burdens are thrown on God, He bears them. Since the supreme power of God makes all things move, why should we, without submitting ourselves to it, constantly worry ourselves with thoughts as to what should be done and how, and what should not be done and how not? We know that the train carries all loads, so after getting on it why should we carry our small luggage on our head to our discomfort, instead of putting it down in the train and feeling at ease?

WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED CONSCIOUSNESS?

The mind is not consciousness. When the movement of the mind has totally ceased there is another stirring - and this I call consciousness.

Only when the mind becomes empty does consciousness manifest itself.

The mind is the instrument, the medium. When it becomes involved with the activities of the ego it ceases to be a medium of consciousness because it is otherwise engaged.

To become acquainted with consciousness is to bid farewell to the machinations of the mind.

The mind is like a servant who has usurped his master's place in the master's absence.

Will such a servant ever desire the master's return? He will never be able to welcome the returning master with sincerity. He will put up every possible obstacle he can to delay the master's return.

And the most basic obstruction will be his contention that he himself is the master and no one else. He will simply deny that any other master exists.

Generally the mind does exactly the same thing. This is how it becomes a barrier; this is how it hinders the advent of consciousness.

If you wish to move towards consciousness learn to let your mind relax. Allow it to remain free of activity; allow it to be empty; allow it to disengage itself from its involvements.

The cessation of the activity of the mind marks the first stirring of consciousness.

And the death of the mind heralds the birth of consciousness.
