The Lord's Prayer ~ Mooji's Version

The Lord's Prayer for me is totally amazing and mystical. I love ALL Versions.  Here's one from one of my most respected and beloved teachers, Mooji.

Beloved Father,

Who dwells within the soul of my Being

Whose name is

I Am

Veneration to your holy name

Thy kingdom is here

Thy will prevails throughout the earth

as it does in the heavenly realms of my soul

You open your hands

and satisfy the hunger of all living beings

You heal all hearts of sorrow

So that they in turn may show forgiveness

to those whose minds

are shrouded in ignorance of the Self

Beloved Mother 

Who imparts to all the sense of choice

so we may finally come to choose

You

who are Truth

and thus find everlasting freedom

Glory to your name

Oh Truth

For yours is the kingdom of existence

of peace and love

All power and glory emanates from

You alone

Who imparts to all

the wisdom, the light, the love and courage

to refer to themselves as

I Am

Amen Om

If It's Not About Love, It's Untrue!

I can 'SEE' clearly now that .....

Wow! I've Believed Myself Into Existence ~ Byron Katie

I simply love photos from Byron Katie's teaching.  She hits the nail right on the head!!  Every time I have a thought about something and come to a conclusion, up comes her post depicting exactly what my mind is experiencing!!  Reality confirmation is what I like to call it.

The only reason I ever suffer is because I am unconsciously unwilling to give up a story.  A story that makes me falsely believe that is my protection against pain and suffering.  Ironically, that belief creates even more suffering. What I know for sure now is that we are constantly bombarded with all kinds of images, beliefs, ideas, comments, news, stories, etc. etc. and the more edge a story has, the more dramatics surrounding the story, and the more it holds us spell bound the more we are likely to be drawn in.  We are like hypnotic beings when we are living from the space of fear.  We are afraid to live in total freedom. We have secrets that we don't want our family, friends, social circle, etc. to know about lest they should leave us or become the subject of gossip or be  ostracized.  What my world thinks of me appears to be very important to me.  But all of the stories are absolutely untrue.  Totally untrue.  I have got this.   My world reflects my own belief of myself. The story of my so-called life is in my mind. Its not Reality.  Its only a small 'r' reality in my small mind.

I am deeply grateful for one thing.  There is nothing I hide, nor do I feel compelled to hide from anyone.  I no longer worry about what will people think of me if I share the dark side of me that I am dealing with.  Because all of it is untrue.  Its true in my mind as long as I believe it to be true. It becomes untrue the moment I realise that love is missing from the equation.  Its so simple.  That's all I need to know.  Am I feeling the vibrations of love?  If not, something is drastically wrong which needs to be corrected.  And as I am on a continuous process of clearing and cleansing my mind of unwanted thoughts, I am beginning to see its the smallest and the tiniest mad ideas that make my mind run  berserk.   I am the master of my mind.

Am I in love?  That's the key leading question for Peace.

Terry Lauezzari, Your Light continues to Shine!

I have been in deep shock at the news of my English brother, Terry Lauezzari's passing on.  But death is only a temporary sleep.  He is with Spirit in his truest and most perfect nature.  “Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.” ~ Rumi ~

He became one of my dearest friends on Facebook.  He was fun, caring, loving, protective.  Who said that Facebook is just an internet thing?  What Facebook lacks in physical meeting, it more than makes up for in soul connection and communication.  That was who Terry came to mean to me - A SOUL FRIEND AND BROTHER.  What made it a double bonus was the fact that he was the husband of my beloved Soul Sister, Friend and Heart Family, Aimee Lauezzari.  It was indeed through Aimee that I got this wonderful opportunity to meet with Terry on FB.

I am ever grateful for the way Terry affected my life.  I have become better for it.

Terry was my "Smile Monitor"!  He made sure I posted only 'smiley' profile pics on Facebook and chided me in a good naturedly way if I did'nt.  He felt the world needed more smiles.  He called me "Smiley".  Since then I have always posted only 'smiley' photos because I got the feel of the world through his eyes.  Yes, the world did'nt need models with pouty, plastic smiles, but genuine, down to earth soul smiles. :))))  I believe he felt he needed to protect all the people who were close to him and keep reminding them of their light.   He did'nt hesitate to tick me off if any post or comment reflected a less than 'classy' style.  We would argue via our exchange of comments! :))))  I would smile because that's what brothers do - they believe it is their duty and honor to protect their sisters. :)))) But I would be defiant and argue back my case.  He did'nt buy it. But he let it go for the time being only! ;)  He always wanted that I should continue to remain as good as he believes I am.  That's what it was - his belief in people!!  He was very perceptive.  I am quite sure he made everyone feel that way - special! :))))

One day last year in May I got a note from him in the inbox at a particularly vulnerable time.  Ofcourse he did'nt know that, but like an Earth Angel, out of the blue this beautiful note came from him and it reassured me even more that Spirit is always watching us and sending Its Angels to remind us of our own beauty and True Identity.  He wrote ....

"Dearest lavina, you have the most wonderful welcoming and heartwarming smile

The love and comfort you give to people is to be admired, and is not seen as preaching, but just the lovely you, being yourself.  You are such a kind carrying person, and I hope this message of TRUTH makes you feel as good as you make others feel, is all in your smile x"

I was so stunned.  How did he know I needed this encouragement today?  He lives in another country altogether!  I wrote back expressing my deepest appreciation ......

"OMG! Thank you Terry!!! I needed this right this moment, right just now!!!  I am about to start writing a note on how all the old stories we have been fed through out our lives has made us believe so many things and the truth is we have got it all wrong.  Today is also a very stressful day because as you must already know, we are going through some really deep mind transformation with our 40 day course and today, a lot of stuff just blew up in my face.  Sometime today I will post the note and you will see what I mean.  I was sitting here feeling a bit miserable and there you are with this beautiful note.  Thank you bro Terry with all my heart.  You just made me smile once again like you do occasionally!!  This will help me to judge myself less now as I write my note.  Thank you.  Love and God Bless.  I hope you're having a wonderful day.  Let Aimee pamper you.  We all deserve and need to be loved fully and totally and allow ourselves to be loved unconditionally.  Much love.'

And he responded ......

"Thank you. .

DONT EVER DOUBT YOURSELF, DO YOU HEAR ME,  your one of the best xx"

And I concluded ....

"Yes, I will REMEMBER that - thank YOU! Ask Aimee to give you a big hug from me!!"

And I have since then always tried to remember that.  I never met him physically.  I don't need to.  We are all already connected at the heart, soul and energetic level.  Why some people affect our lives in such a positive way and why others do not is all a matter of the depth of soul connections.  I am beyond grateful that this Angel showed up in my life - in India!  Now I can speak to him in the realm of the Angels.

As Rumi says ....

“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing
there is a field.
I'll meet you there.    

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.” 

Shine brightly Terry because we can feel your Light and your Love.  The world needs it ever more.  

 Blessed Be.

Be the Buddha With No Bliss!

What an incredible and awesome way to start the day!! BE THE BUDDHA WITH NO BLISS!!!  I needed this to break the seriousness of the last few days.  Me, who has never been interested in politics has suddenly become involved with the changing and dynamic political scenario in my beloved city New Delhi, India.  I have been posting and sharing support for my  favored political party "Aam Aadmi" and the founder, Arvind Kejriwal simply because he/they represent life shifting changes in my country.  We need it! OMG! how desperately we need this change!!  And as with all things  that threaten the ego, there are those whose agendas are suspect screaming at the top of their voices to influence his rising popularity by their negative outbursts.

But yesterday, I took a step back and examined all of these feelings and activities that were taking place by me and within me and had to question why this grabbed my attention so much and how do I spiritually take it in my stride?  Indeed, I received the answer as I switched to 'news feed' on facebook.

"Don't be misled by the personal mind flow which often draws one's attention away from reality and ties it up with mundane, material concerns. It is in such ways that even seekers of truth get 'stuck' in the level of time, effort and identity. Wake up." ~ Mooji

I woke up!!!  On the one hand I am 'working' diligently on the understanding and the awakening truth that all is Spirit and there is nothing outside of Spirit and that the world I see is an illusion - and here, on the other hand I was busy backing up my favoured political party with so much gusto and an underlying belief that I have to 'influence' doubtful and deeply critical minds about the authenticity of this new kid on the block, because indeed, he is the new face of the common man and unreasonable expectations are very high by armchair  politicians.

I began to meditate and contemplate on this whole new side of me ... or was it new? Why did it matter so much to me?  I realised he touched a nerve within me. I admired how he was ready to take an honest and truthful stand against all odds. He was unafraid of the biting criticism that was coming from so many quarters. He was not ready to compromise and make deals with those who did not have the same deep passion for Truth.  I could'nt help wondering, is'nt that how it is when we begin to strip ourselves down to the bare truth of who we are? When we begin our inward journey, so much has to go.  Its a very dark time where you are grossly misunderstood.  You begin to loose all that was familiar and 'safe' and  you find yourself on a road that is filled with Unseen Angels and yet do not know or feel it. It is a time of complete faith - a time to take the biggest leap of faith you have ever taken.  And then you find yourself in an inner safety net that protects you no matter how it looks on the outside.

 This took me to the lives of saints and sages and my Master and Friend, Jeshua... what would He have me do? He would have me live in JOY. He would have me live in detachment to the outcomes of this world I see as my projection. He would have me live in Christ Consciousness. Everything is All that Is. Cosmic change is already in motion.  No matter what I do or don't do to  propagate and believe, there IS a Power above all of this by Whose Will everything moves and is guided. My part is to BE the change I want to see, by imbibing the true values of Truth and hold myself centered in the Light of that Truth. My vibrations have to be raised many notches above the current scenario so that  I send love and light to all other minds, because in truth, all minds are joined in one mind - The Divine Mind.  My job is to loose the fear of criticism and the need to be 'liked' by all.  Once again, my 'job' is BEING ....

And what better way than to live in JOY!!  I woke up to this video of Mooji "Laughing Buddhas (2)" and it brought EVERYTHING into perspective.  It was hilarious! It was sheer joy! It was perfect!  Be ready to be the Buddha with no bliss and bliss will come to you says Mooji! Awesome!!

My gratitude knows no bounds.  In Gratitude I live.

Namaste!

Mystical Message

So, here's something very mystical that happened that has completely lifted my mind from the earth plane to the heavens.

I deactivated from facebook in June 2013 with the firm resolve to be back only in the new year. I have to admit I had some 'weaning' problems in the first few days having been so attached to facebook, but after that it felt like facebook never happened in my life because I had no thought about it at all.  My decision to return only in the new year was firm.

Till December 15, 2013. I woke up with such a nagging and strong feeling that I must get back to facebook.  I could'nt really understand why so I just left it at that and automatically activated my facebook account. My Sister Aimee was so surprised to see me back and actually exclaimed "when did you sneak in?"

This morning I woke up to an awesome fb inbox mail from a very Dear and Holy Soul named Cryst Aqueous. His note was beautiful and  he mentioned that he wished to gift me with a full set of all nine of his small Reality Absolute books.  All he needed was my address.  I was beyond touched and thanked him with all my heart.

Later in the day, I walked over to his Facebook page and almost did a double take to find a message he posted inquiring after me.  

Here's the message:

"Greetings Beloved India. About one year ago a wonderful being from India sent a friend request to me, her name was Lavina Jain. I have lost capability on earth technological devices to connect back to "You" Lavina, however I am communicating telepathically with you all the same as always. If you happen to see this post from me to you today I ask that you please respond and resend a new friend request to me so we can resume Spirit communications on this earth mode. Thank you. With Loving regards, Crys."

In that instant I knew why I came back to Facebook.  This Beloved  Holy Soul beckoned me back telepathically!! Plus the concluding blessing in his email kept swirling in my heart ~ "I appreciate you Dear One of the Spirit World in Whom and whereat Every Good Thing Abounds, Crys". I so appreciate you too Crys! 

My heart felt so warm for him and so grateful for the privilege of connecting with him that all I could respond was the following:

"Beloved Cryst! Here I Am! I deactivated from facebook in June of this year and returned two days ago. I visited your page after receiving your inbox mail for which I am beyond beyond GRATEFUL. I am so touched by your message above. Its the very first time in my life a Sweet Soul from across the seas has actually inquired after me. I love you. I am privileged to know YOU. Thank YOU. Namaste! Aum."

This is beyond precious for me. Namaste, Radiant One! Aum.

CRYST AQUEOUS
