My Dear Friend,
Sat Nam and Happy Spring time from the Rockies!
I was recently taken by these descriptions from H. H. the Dalai Lama’s current book The Universe in a Single Atom. In my new book forthcoming from Light on Light Press this summer I write extensively about Yoga Cosmology. Indeed, all that His Holiness says below is “spot on” with the millennial views of our great Yoga traditions, so I want to share it. The only thing to clarify is that, in the context of our Yogic journey, “destruction” below means the destruction of our false/ oego self which prevents us from the freedom and happiness of Awakened life– which is our birthright:

Welcome my friend,
To my Altar! My safe haven, my hearth of restoration, my offerings 🙏 Where we build and grow and let go together, one baby step at a time. Family and friends sitting, chanting, praying, writing around this fire over the years has brought great peace and conversations shared. Burning old and bringing in New Moon Energy! New beginnings.
We work mostly in our subconscious reactive behaviors, and every morning, we can change these behaviors, calling on Guru Nanak Japji, the sacred song of the soul. 30th Pauri: some speak of the divine, maya, as the one who gave birth to the three deities: The Creator, The Destroyer, The Sustainer.

Dear Friend,
Anything we do 40 days in a row will change a habit, Sat Nam. Here is a super healing kriya for PROSPERITY, good health, a happy life.
It seems to keep moving, shifting, growing, awakening into what seems permanently a change and then voila: letting go of this too. WOW…how to keep up?!
Which speaks personally to me in the manner of keeping the truth unfolding in all in which is to arrive, yet not speculating or waiting for this or that, loving what is! Miracles.

Dear Friend.
As we develop through the stages of our growth, we encounter several types of teachers. Of course, we have many instructors and many teachers in the various arts of living. But we have five primary teachers and stages of learning that forge a deep relationship with our Self. In order to have an authentic relationship, we must find our Self. We need to experience our spirit, gain a concept of it and test our Self so we can trust in our caliber and in our connection to the Infinite. Without this we rely on every possible substitute and form a false core of relationships.

Dear Community,
A beloved handwritten offering came to me to share from the 10th Guru of the Sikh lineage Guru Gobind Singh…
Dear Friend,
May the very light that shines for thee be shared so the planet offers her warmth to all🔥❄️😌
“Patience is wisdom, when the body identity goes, one has company of the self. Subtle means our own ancient timeless pure self. Your ideas about yourself go on changing throughout time but you want to identify yourself. Impressions of yourself start at birth, consciousness should be worshipped as GOD! Due to your body identity, this oneness cannot be experienced, Atman means I the luminous consciousness which is free and formless.”

Dear Friend,
Well, in the midst of all this change, are we too busy to stop and “catch a breath”?
Aquarian, we have to be dismembered in order to be reborn, patterns that we hold as a country: a karmic moment challenging the fate of US. Can we have an awakening? How close can we bond? Step into creative power. Have we become so arrogant that we don’t know how to govern? To liberate, to teach, to educate? Can we send love and prayer to police officers to National guards!

Dear Friend,
The time is now, now is the time, to step back, and move forward as we stay aware each moment of our day. We need not become analytical at the end of our day before rest. Our brain can diffuse as we go about our actions consciously throughout each interaction so it needs no attention later.
