As long as we feel that an Other-self Soul is operating in humility, we should strive to recognize and honor the practice of their own religion within their life, although perhaps silently by not offering criticism. It does not matter if we can personally relate to the other-self soul’s conception of what is worshipable within this Reality, for service to the Absolute Truth is going on in so many ways every day. Rare are those souls whose God actually speaks back interactively in an objectifiably observable manner.

The truth of all religion is that humility is synonymous with truth, which in its purest form manifests as religion. In this way, it is impossible to know the other-self soul’s heart without knowing their religion. However, through humility, one can learn to relate “heart to heart” with others without having to accept the details of the other’s religion. On such an elevated platform of understanding, we can begin to account for taste after all, and we see that there is always a preceding pattern to one’s consciousness from which our potential is perpetually manifesting. This design is the Taste of Being. It is the cause of all causes. Pure Emotion. Pure Love.

Further still, when Yogiraj states “Consciousness one’s only god,” he is stating that knowing self, which is essentially consciousness, is the only way to know God. He is therefore directing the quest for spirituality within. The progressive expansion of the aware-ness (being-ness) of one’s conscious-ness (perceptive-ness) is the emptying of the self of all material substance, including thought, which is what gives any ‘thing’ form. As such, the expanded consciousness has the nature of nothing-ness, which is simultaneously all and one, formless, in proportion to one’s experience of the awareness that is God. From this perspective, to say God is Consciousness is to say God is Awareness, which is the result of knowing that “I think (consciousness) therefore I am (awareness).”

I have found that at a certain point in one’s spiritual progress one’s intuition blossoms into authenticity that cannot be denied. For me this came before I decided to explore adopting religion as a platform for spiritual exploration. It was only after I felt total trust in the sincerity of my intuition’s desire for spiritual truth and service that I felt comfortable interacting with religion once again, after having abandoned it in my late adolescence.

As a programmer, philosopher and poet, I am a conscious observer. I have never really relied on others to tell me how things operate. To me, studying programs, philosophies and poems in a scholarly fashion would only serve to help me construct, formulate and compose variations on similar themes, what many refer to as “reinventing the wheel”.

Instead, my process is intuitive rather than scholarly. This enables me to see life as a dance of artful expression and experience that guides us as much as we guide it, that loves us as much as we love it, a realm of reciprocating emotionality and recursive feedback. Therefore, I am not interested in boiling down truth to a series of spiritual or material equations. After all, objective truth is insubstantial.

Certainly there are limits to what can be expressed through the gross and subtle material senses and faculties, but they possess the duality of input and output. Somewhere in the infinitesimal middle lies the pure potency of potential. When this is visualized with activated authenticity of self (even without full knowledge of self), a connection to Divine Love is established.

Once a taste of Divine Love enlivens the sincerity of one’s intuition, the Divine Will begins to directly guide everything in our life. This leads to direct (as opposed to indirect) experience of knowledge, what some may call truth. One begins to realize that life is less and less characteristic of a pinball in the game machine.

As our truth interacts with the beauty we are now able to percieve in other individuated consciousnesses (‘Other Self’ souls), the union is experienced as Love. This is what it means to “make love not war”. When this love-making propensity permeates our consciousness consistently, we attract ‘Other Me’ souls who will naturally desire to play with us, if we play nicely.

The new associations that our truth attracts, projected as the inner orb of beauty known as the intuitive self, provide the poles needed in order to complete the circuit of inspiration. Without establishing these circuits, what one feels to be love exchanged between birds of a feather is nothing more than a vain reflection of an aspiration to feel understood, a shallow shade of acceptance. Such superficial affinity in the union (yoga) of souls pales in comparison to even the occassional experience of the UltraLife yoga of souls deeply connected inspirationally. This co-creative loving engagement is the substrate of a blissful spiritual journey, for it is rooted in the deep humility recognized in and reciprocated from the heart of the ‘Other Me’. Such knowing is the height of loving potential, and for me at least is invaluable and irreplaceable.

Simply put, UltraLife yoga is the secret yoga that lights the dark night of the soul which inevitably comes as we progress spiritually in ways that ‘Separated Self’ souls would seek to deny, discount or diminish. Nobody can teach this yoga. It is revealed as the gift of sincere surrender to the flow of Divine Love through Divine Will.

Roles worn loosely
Garmentry for souls
Still trapped
In the illusion

Embracing wisdom
Naked to reason
Thoughts cease
Feeling for understanding

Imagining cosmic stardust
Draping stormy clouds
Within mind’s eye
Dissolving into consciousness

Love inspires surrender
Unto the magic
Of understanding that
It’s ok to know

Nowadays we are programmed from birth and all too many factors influence what we know about our local environment and indeed the world. We have learned to accept so much information as fact, as certainty, based on the assurances of society’s elders. Those fortunate enough to become educated beyond high school often come away from college not certain of what they actually know and how useful that information is.

At every turn, a conscious choice to think deliberately is discouraged. The subtle suggestion is to think reactively. Go with your gut they tell you – wise advice if your intuition ‘knows’.

Modern society, especially in the realm of the technologically elite, has become an increasingly complex series of lab-rat-stories. Our intuition is being shaped by Pavlovian forces like never before. However, once an individual’s consciousness realizes that its intuition has been hijacked, it can be difficult to cope.

This blog is here to tell you that you can reorient your mind, that you can know what is real, what is truth. There is but one rule: believe not in the absolute.

Allow yourself to accept that knowing is not an exercise in “the wisdom of crowds”, and that it can be a lonely place. In fact, you may find that you are less inclined to express your opinion once you connect with a deeper understanding of this life and whatever future lies ahead.

In this case, it’s not a choice of red pill or blue pill. It’s not a choice of salvation or damnation. The choice is to evolve or to not. Otherwise, we are little more than lab rats.

It’s OK to Know…
