“Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit.”
All that is happening is God. We need to be a witness and not a false witness, a true witness who is not swayed by appearance, one who stands in the reality behind the appearance materializing as the illusion.
It is the mind that tells you that the mind is there. Don't be deceived. All the endless arguments about the mind are produced by the mind itself, for its own protection, continuation and expansion.
A mystic does not merely hear the song of existence—she becomes it. She embodies a melody that cannot be confined to notes or scales, a hymn without measure or tempo. This song is not sung in any earthly language, yet it resounds through every atom, reverberating in the silence before sound itself arises.
“Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.”
Green Tara ॐ By Talon Abraxas "Om Tara Tuttare Ture Soha" “OM! O Tara! I entreat you, O Tara! O swift one! Hail!”
“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they’re in each other all along…”
Jupiter and Semele Talon Abraxas
The poets and sages have, indeed, been saying for centuries that success in this world is vanity. “The worldly hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes”… The world, they are saying, is a mirage. Everything is forever falling apart and there’s no way of fixing it, and the more strenuously you grasp this airy nothingness, the more swiftly it collapses in your hands.
Kartikeya, also known as Murugan or Skanda. Often shown as a young, handsome god with a spear, riding a peacock. He is sometimes depicted with six faces, symbolizing mastery over the senses and mind.
Kartikeya was born to defeat the demon Tarakasura and is considered the commander-in-chief of the Devas (gods).
...light from Andromeda, the galaxy closest to our own, takes 2.4 million years to reach us. When we see it, the light has been rushing towards us a 186,000 miles a second for 2.4 million years. And beyond our galactic neighborhood lie an estimated 80 billion more galaxies, unimaginably far away. We know outer space is vast and mostly empty, but we usually consider our familiar world as more solid. Yet the atoms that make up our own bodies are actually 99.99 percent empty space. The distance between atoms, and the space within atoms, compared with their mass makes us as spacious internally as the universe we live in. I was struck by the reality that inner space is a microcosmic version of outer space.
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can you place such big sorrows in it? "Look," He answered, "your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
You have to find a few spaces in your life, a few moments like oases in deserts, where you simply close your eyes and go beyond society, move into yourself, into your own womb...
Other people can’t cause us to be impatient unless we let them do so. In other words, others don’t make us impatient. We make ourselves impatient, through our expectations and demands, fixated attachments and stuckness.
I want to play an intimate game with you, it will be a ‘Cosmic Hide-and-Seek Game’.
I will hide in the last place that you will look; it is within the silent gap between your thoughts.
Come and find me when you are ready to be still and awaken to the deeper, underlying truth of your existence.”
Just as luminosity is the nature of the sun, coolness of water and heat of fire, so too the nature of the Self is Eternity, purity, Reality, consciousness and bliss.
Whether you worship Christ, Krishna, Kali, or Allah, you actually worship the one Light that is also in you, since it pervades all things. Everything is one.
All that you are attached to, all that you Love,
all that you know, someday will be gone.
Knowing this, and that the world is your mind
which you create, play in, and suffer from,
is known as discrimination.
Discriminate between the real and the unreal.
The known is unreal and will come and go
so stay with the Unknown, the Unchanging Truth.
All which appears and disappears is not real,
and no nectar will come from it so don’t cling to it,
and once you let go do not turn back to it.
Stay as Eternity in your own Being.
It's enough to have faith in one aspect of God. You have faith in God without form. That is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real. Then hold fast to whichever faith appeals to you.

Om Mystically embodies the Essence of the entire Universe. This meaning is further deepened by the Indian Philosophical belief that God first created Sound and the Universe arose from it. As the most Sacred Sound, Om is the Root of the Universe and everything that exists and it continues to hold everything together.
“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
"Meditation quiets conscious thought and the physical realm, making a doorway to spiritual awareness."
Spiritual Doorway
Earth Day takes place every year on 22 April and is one of the biggest environmental protest movements on the planet.
World Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a better place … We are not separate from the Earth—we are the Earth. Our bodies are made of the same elements as the soil, water, and stars. Every breath we take is shared with the trees, every heartbeat echoes nature’s rhythms.
"In the ancient Indian Upanishads, the answer to the question “Who am I?” is “Tat tvam asi.” This succinct Sanskrit sentence means literally: “Thou art That,” or “You are Godhead.” It suggests that we are not namarupa—name and form (body/ego)t that our deepest identity is with a divine spark in our innermost being (Atman) that is ultimately identical with the supreme universal principle (Brahman). And Hinduism is not the only religion that has made this discovery. The revelation concerning the identity of the individual with the divine is the ultimate secret that lies at the mystical core of all great spiritual traditions. The name for this principle could thus be the Tao, Buddha, Cosmic Christ, Allah, Great Spirit, Sila, and many others."
"The truth of life is that Brahman is no different from atman, the spiritual force within us, what you might call the soul."
"The more you are willing to just let the world be something you’re aware of, the more it will let you be who you are—the awareness, the Self, the Atman, the Soul."  |
"In an ideal world, as connectivity progresses, each human of our world would function the way a cell functions in a human body. We would see each other in the context of our individuality but realise how our individual actions both directly and indirectly affect the greater Earth. It would be as if our Atmans (our individual spirits) could merge into a Brahmin (a cosmic unity)"
“Eyes, so easily deceived, might judge more rightly with lids closed, allowing ears and heart to remain wide open.”
“Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in you. It is not in the future as a goal to be arrived at, it is here now, this very moment — in your breathing, circulating in your blood, beating in your heart. Whatsoever you are is your life, and if you start seeking meaning somewhere else, you will miss it. Man has done that for centuries.”
"A fish cannot drown in water, A bird does not fall in air. In the fire of creation, God doesn't vanish: The fire brightens. Each creature God made must live in its own true nature; How could I resist my nature, That lives for oneness with God?"  |
"There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge-that is everywhere, that is Atman, that is in me and you and in every creature, and I am beginning to believe that this knowledge has no worse enemy than the man of knowledge, than learning."
You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it. You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable. Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions. When you find it within, your search will be over.
“Always remember that you are not a mistake — no matter what you have been told by others or how things may ‘appear’ to be in your life. Release all of the false beliefs and past stories that have held you back; they do not in anyway serve you. Is a precious jewel any less valuable because it has fallen on the ground and is covered in mud? No, it simply requires some cleaning.”
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
“Although you appear in earthly form Your essence is pure Consciousness. You are the fearless guardian of Divine Light.
So come, return to the root of your root of your own soul.”
