Be yourself in FULL --

the truth is not popular
this is for sure
it does not cater to egos whims and desires
it comes on strong and hits hard
and is meant only for those that have enough
strength within so as not to retreat
and take cover back within the familiar world
in which there is no true internal challenge

the ones that speak truth are not on stage
to be a persona that is *liked* or popular
the impersonal (truth)  does not care if it pleases or not
or care if it gathers crowds or
receives praise or slander
no matter the external conditions
it does not shift what it *is*
in the least...
which is pure, undiluted, raw and without
covers

to move beyond mental patterns
there needs to be a shaking up of the internal world
so closely guarded...
this is what the Guru is to embody...
the fires that purify --
and these fires can and will burn deep
it is not pleasant --
it is like a wound being abraded --
it hurts
but in the end brings lasting healing
which the bandaid solutions of ego will
never, ever bring....
and the majority are in search of the short-lived
pleasures to be gathered in life...
oblivious to the light of the Lord that lies within
this is called ignorance or *suffering*
the two are one in the same ..

truly the one that comes in with a sturdy form
a decent amount of intelligence..
and is lucky enough to have food and shelter ...
has enough to go forward and find the treasure
that lies within
the one that does not inquire into the truth about the self
is a life that will continue in circle
and come back to relive that which was neglected..
there is no getting out of it friends

may this New Year bring a resolution
to keep going in earnest (if you have already started the search)
if you are just standing in the wings looking in
with idle curiosity
may you be roused to take steps forward...

come now friend
make of your life one that has true worth...
be yourself in FULL
this time around...

om shanti
