Beautiful, Magical, Challenging, Dangerous, and Lovingly Spiritually Lifting in Awareness
I want to speak to you about Tara, not as a theory to study, but as a holy presence that comes to wake us up.
She comes as beautiful, because Truth is beautiful.
She comes as magical, because Love is a mystery our small minds can never fully hold.
She comes as challenging, because she will not let you keep living a smaller life than you were born for.
She comes as dangerous, dangerous to the false self, dangerous to the ego that wants to stay asleep and in control.
And she comes as lovingly, spiritually lifting in awareness. That is her real gift.
Because, beloved, we must tell the truth about where we are.
Reality is merely the interpretation of the material realm through visual and censual perceptions. Perceptions we have been engrained in memory, etched upon the sleeping and forgetful mind of he who has lived according to institutions.
Think about that. From the time we were children, we were taught what to see and what not to see. We were given the lenses. We were given the names. We were told what is possible and what is impossible, what is holy and what is not, who is worthy and who is not. And that teaching was etched, line by line, upon the sleeping and forgetful mind.
And the sleeping mind believed it. The sleeping mind built a whole world out of those perceptions and called it "reality." But it was only an interpretation. It was only the material realm, filtered through the senses, filtered through the memory of what institutions told us was real.
No wonder we feel tired. No wonder we feel distant from the Father. We have been living inside someone else's dream.
Tara comes to interrupt that dream. That is why she feels dangerous. She is not dangerous to you, she is dangerous to the illusion that has held you.
Because the clarity of what is actually real, beyond the illusion, comes only to awakened and remembering mind... the mind which yet remembers the Light and our true natures.
This is the whole journey. Not to become something new, but to remember what you have always been.
You are not the forgetful mind. You are the remembering mind.
You are not the flesh that will pass away. You are the Light that was with God from the beginning, the Light that was breathed into you, and the Light that no institution could ever create and no institution can ever take away.
And how do we remember? How does the sleeping mind awaken?
This may only be achieved through the true teachings of Jesus, the truths found in Gnostic wisdom.
Not the Jesus who was used to build empires and institutions. The true Yehoshua. The Living Jesus who said, "The Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known."
That is Gnostic wisdom, not secret knowledge for the few, but intimate knowing for any heart willing to go within. Gnosis means to know by direct experience. Not to believe because you were told. To know because you have remembered.
The true teachings of Jesus were never about joining an institution. They were about leaving the prison of the sleeping mind. He came to say: You have been asleep. The Light is still in you. Remember.
When you remember, Tara smiles. When you remember, the veil thins.
You see again, not with censual perception alone, but with spiritual sight. You see that the person in front of you is not separate from you. You see that nature is not a resource, but a relative. You see that death is not an ending, but a turning.
That is the lifting. That is the beautiful, magical, loving lift of awareness.
So I bless you today with a dangerous prayer:
May you become too awake to go back to sleep.
May you become too remembering to live by forgetting.
May you remember the Light, and in remembering, may you remember yourself, whole, holy, and already home.
In the name of the One who came to awaken us,
Amen.
