Draw on your innermost ferocious and powerful soul medicine
to overcome the obstacles inside yourself that are preventing your
establishment in the Light.

Ok, no more time for monkey business.

2012 will require you to let go of all your judgments, resentments, doubts, insecurities, negativities. And as you do, you will experience glorious release into That which you always already were.
Align yourself steadfastly with those beings of light and those communities of light and those thoughts of light that help you maintain your feelings of love and ease and contentment.

In 2012, you will need to repeatedly draw your mind back, and back, and back to the Light, because the process of clearing that which keeps you from the light is getting accelerated. And part of the clearing process includes what's getting cleared out to be momentarily druged back up. If you're identifying with what comes up, if you're holding on, you make it harder for yourself. The trick is to let it be experienced, don't act on it, and keep bringing yourself back to the light.

"If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll experience devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
The chiropractor in the movie "Jacob's Ladder,"
quoting Meister Eckhart

‎~ “Keep your devotion in a state of reason. Without reason, devotion becomes too easily emotional. But don’t be too rational, either! Reason alone will never give you true understanding. It must be balanced with feeling. Understanding comes best when reason and feeling work together, each inspiring the other to flow upward."

—Paramhansa Yogananda

To treat every human being as a shrine of God is to fulfill all religion.

by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Where is the shrine of God? It is in the heart of man. As soon as one begins to consider the feelings of another, one begins to worship God. ... There is a story of a murshid who was going with his mureeds to visit some village, and he was keeping a fast. The mureeds also had taken a vow of fasting. They arrived at the peasants' home where there was great enthusiasm and happiness and where a dinner was arranged for them. When they were invited to the table, the murshid went and sat down; but the mureeds did not dare because they had taken a vow of fasting. Yet they would never mention it to the murshid. They thought, 'Murshid is forgetful; Murshid has forgotten the vow.' After dinner was over and they went out the pupils asked, 'Did you not forget the vow of fasting?' 'No,' was the murshid's answer, 'I had not forgotten. But I preferred breaking the fast rather than the heart of that man who with all his enthusiasm had prepared the food.'

The thirst for life makes us overlook little opportunities of doing good. Every moment of life brings an opportunity for being conscious of human feeling, in prosperity, in adversity, in all conditions. It costs very little; only a little thought is necessary. ... There is no greater religion than love. God is love; and the best form of love is to be conscientious regarding the feelings of those with whom we come in contact in everyday life.

"The sacred woman then started to leave the lodge, but turning again to Standing Hollow Horn, she said: "Behold this pipe! Always remember how sacred it is, and treat it as such, for it will take you to the end. Remeber, in me there are four ages. I am leaving now, but I shall look back on your people in every age, and at the end I shall return."

—Words of Pte San Win after bringing the sacred pipe to the Sioux. Taken from Frithjof Schoun, The Feathered Sun: Plains Indians in Art and Philosophy" (Bloomington, Indiana:World Wisdom Books, 1990)

In the West, people tend to be absorbed by what I call “the technology of meditation.” The modern world, after all, is fascinated by mechanisms and machines and addicted to purely practical formulas. But by far the most important feature of meditation is not the technique but the spirit: the skillful, inspired and creative way in which we practice, which could also be called “the posture.”

The masters say: “If you create an auspicious condition in your body and your environment, then meditation and realization will automatically arise.” Talk about posture is not esoteric pedantry; the whole point of assuming a correct posture is to create a more inspiring environment for meditation, for the awakening of Rigpa.

There is a connection between the posture of the body and the mind. Mind and body are interrelated, and meditation arises naturally once your posture and attitude are inspired.

I don't know what I will become, nor what I was to be,
I can only replicate the earth's deep gestures.
I have storm and stillness,
Clarity and dusk.
