The Spiritual Journey: Refinement

A life of deep connection to the Universal Intelligent Creative Life Force is a life of a spiritually lead soul. When living in a deep state of surrender, the world and all of creation may begin to feel as one connected universal existence. Being connected to a universal, intelligent, creative, limitless, life-giving force within and allowing for this to guide our life is the beginning of an awakened spiritual journey. Through this journey, one learns to let go and move into a state of deep internal submission with this all pervading oneness of existence.

This spiritual awakening and connection to who you truly are, an innate spiritual being, is a process that includes refinement of yourself. The journey of refinement is important on our spiritual journey; it’s about smoothing out our rough edges with a high-powered sander. It quickly and efficiently brings us back to a state of instant communication with our innate true spiritual self, this universal intelligent creative life force.

Something that often takes place on our spiritual journey of refinement is the experience of feeling separate from our spiritual self. The spiritual journey of refinement helps us grow with new insights that may bring us back to our true spiritual self, the universal intelligent creative life force. When we feel separate from the universal creative life force due various physical activities and interactions, we may feel turbulent. This turbulence may lead us further away from our true spiritual selves or lead us back to the core of our consciousness, a place of harmony, creativity, and connected universal intelligence. Embarking on a spiritual journey helps to refine ourselves and experience separateness with an awareness that cultivates compassion, acceptance, and universal love.

Inner Genius

Ross Corry, Australia October 4, 2018VCM posts

Genius is something we normally ascribe to rare individuals - great people who have stood out in their disciplines, whether it be science, commerce, arts, etc. Einstein, Mozart, Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs are a few examples. We typically think of genius as belonging to these people. We imagine their genius as starting and ending with them, meaning we think of them as the source of the genius they expressed.

In the same way, we imagine that our own level of intelligence is what it is. We are born this way and our observation of our self and others is that this intelligence does not change much over time - it seems to be personal and fixed.

This paradigm of personal and fixed intelligence is extremely limiting.

There is an alternative model of intelligence that is much more empowering and liberating. It also offers the exciting possibility that no matter what your current circumstances in life, there is an opportunity for you to connect with and express your own unique flavour of genius - whatever that may be.

This model is based on the spiritual principle that an unlimited Universal Intelligence is omnipresent, meaning it is everywhere at all times, including within us. It is this same great power and intelligence that is the ingenious force behind all creation. It is limitless.

If we could find a way to “tap” this Universal Intelligence that lies within, we would then have access to an unlimited flow of genius that could express itself naturally through us. Whatever talents we possess would be unleashed and we would be surprised at some of the revelations and insights we experience. Old self-imposed limitations would fall by the wayside.

This raises the obvious question - how do we connect with Universal Intelligence?

The answer - surprising to many - is simply to Surrender to it.

You won’t reach it through unrelenting discipline or toil.
You won’t find it by performing tricks of the mind.
You won’t attain it through spiritual rituals.

You subjugate yourself to it and as you do so, you become it. That is to say the separation that you currently perceive between yourself and Universal Intelligence starts to fall away, and step-by-step you find that you become more and more aware of it's presence within you and you naturally begin expressing it in all areas of your life.

This is Universal Genius in action. You already are a Genius, awaiting that realization.

Road to Wellness

VCM September 6, 2018VCM posts

Every now and then, one falls ill or struggles with maintaining wellness to cope with daily stress, strains and vicissitudes of life. One struggles with the colossal wisdom available on the types of food, exercises, supplements and lifestyles – which to adopt, which is the best to allow this body to remain well.

Side by side on the path of Total Wellness, one needs to also look at other components in addition to the physical body, which are the mind and the soul. Parallel development and health of all these aspects are absolutely essential. Most of the time, the mind overrules and dictates the body to do what is pleasing to the mind. An undisciplined mind plays havoc with the body and fails to listen to the soul's direction. For the most effective and efficient way to Total Wellness, the soul should overrule the mind, and align the mind and body to soulful thinking and being.

The scriptures of the world are abundantly illustrated with quotes that point to a common theme “the Supreme Consciousness dwells in the soul.” This body is the Temple of God. Sri Bhai Sahib ji, the founder of the VCM technique, often quotes that along with developing our body and mind, the soul needs to be developed so that the Supreme Spirit (Naam, Paramatma, Holy Spirit or Ruh Ilahi, Aad para shakti, Chi, Qi) can then direct the human being to follow the innate natural laws to be totally well in body, mind and spirit – a path to being in Cosmic Consciousness.

So to truly undertake the Road to Wellness, one must adopt a Path to Spirituality.

God’s Wonder

Ross Corry, Australia August 22, 2018VCM posts

God’s wonder is easy to spot in the things we like - the beauty of nature, the resonance of inspired music, the touch of a loved one.

What is more challenging (to the Ego) is to bear witness to His presence in the things we dislike - disease, mental anguish, loss, cruelty, prejudice, injustice, and so on.

In fact it is the presence of these darker and less palatable aspects of life that lead many to conclude that God does not exist or if He does...then surely he must be a cruel and merciless God.

Most people who believe in God deal with this quandary by attributing all things nice to God and all things ugly to the Dark Forces or the weakness of Man. We look at a spectacular marvel of nature and praise God for His handiwork, yet on the other hand we will curse the person who defaces a building with graffiti.

That which pleases us we deem Godly. That which we find distasteful we attribute to anyone but God.

Of course what is pretty to one person can be ugly to another and so we all have our own unique definition of God perfectly designed to match our own judgements… and clearly our judgements are anything but perfect.

The Scriptures of the World have passage after passage describing how God and God alone is behind ALL of Creation. He is ALL in ALL. Everything is in His Will. We cannot understand the reasons for many events and circumstances in the world and in our own lives - our human awareness is limited. But just because we don’t understand them, it doesn’t mean events (even those we don’t like) lack purpose. Everything and everyone has its own place and purpose in the Divine scheme of things.

Of course our Egos cannot really comprehend such a momentous Divine Order. The Ego is perpetually claiming everything as its own. I did this. I achieved this. I blundered at this. I am great at this and bad at that.

I, I, I.
Me, Me, Me.

And of course these judgments extend to others. She is mean. He is ugly. Why is he so stupid? How dare she treat me like that.

Thankfully, with a practice like Vibrant Celestial Meditation, this veil of delusion is slowly and irrevocably pulled away. God becomes more evident in everything. It becomes clearer and clearer that beyond the illusion of random chaos - is Him. Always.

When we are smart - He is there. When we are ignorant - He is there.
When we win - He is there. When we lose - He is there.
When we are strong - He is there. When we are weak - He is there.

As this awareness grows we are able to experience deep underlying peace and love, even in the most turbulent times. The difference between fortune and misfortune becomes smaller and smaller and less relevant. After all He lives within both polarities at all times.

However happy or unhappy you are with all the various aspects of your life, He is in every part of it. He is in every person, every circumstance, every place, every thought, every emotion. He is removed from none of it. Of course you might like more awareness of Him, but it is Him that bestows that awareness at the appropriate time.

Absolutely nothing needs to change for His Unfathomable Wonder to be in Ascendancy. It always has been, always is, and always will be.

And this is true of you and your life. For you and Him are inseparable.

Praise God.

Love is an eternal whispering of the heart

VCM August 11, 2018VCM posts

Love is an eternal whispering of the heart
It is warmth, charity and hope

It cannot be understood
For it has a mind of its own

In time it fulfills its purpose
Changing hearts
Powerful beyond imagination

It is the supreme wonder of the world
With a presence that can never be broken
Taken away, hidden or lost

Once it is cultivated
Love guides its own course
And frees the lives of many

Nourish its call
