What Spiritual Frontier Lies Beyond our Dogma?

July 11, 2024

This morning I sent a clever and fun You Tube short to a friend.  I remarked that when in India I often was amazed and delighted by what practical innovators they are.
 
“When you don’t even own a box, you’re not inclined to think inside one,” I remarked.
 
The video is shared at the end, but it got me thinking further about something that’s been on my mind lately.  So called “New Age” ideas have formulated now to the degree that the arena is somewhat dogmatic, here and there.  There are isms – phrases and wisdoms and “truths” that we hold dear and that we use as yardsticks for ourselves… and others.
 
Here are a few of those dogmatic ideas we might want to examine.  There are hundreds of them.
 
“I created this unhappiness myself, It’s my fault.”
“They created this situation themselves.”
“People who are suffering agreed to do so (often for some greater good.)”
“If your life has any problems in it, you’re doing something wrong.”
“You can become enlightened and then your problems are over.”
“Enlightened“ people don’t talk about.” 
 
These can become unhelpful.  Even destructive.  There’s often truth in them, but at some point each idea began to veer toward judgment (of self or others) and from there to disconnecting us from our compassion.  To me, anything that does that needs rethinking. 
 
Today’s message is an invitation to begin to notice where dogma has crept into your spiritual life.  Note: It’s not an invite to notice where it’s crept in other’s spiritual lives, hehe.  The opportunity here is to look at what’s become rote, judgmental, unhelpful and dogmatic in our own spiritual practice and views.  It’s a fruitful ponder, if continued over time.
 
If we see where we’re getting boxed in by our own beliefs, we then can be the Spiritual Innovators we came to be, freely uncovering our connection to our truest identity, and discovering the real opportunities of that. 
 
It’s best not to invent a box where one isn’t needed, right?  Making a box causes us to miss the innovation.  The spiritual frontier that lies out beyond our personal beliefs – our dogma – is where the real joy and fun of innovation is.  AND, that’s the surest way out of Dogmaville.
 
Here’s the innovator video that sent me in this direction today, enjoy!  I’m sure it’ll give you a giggle.  I know what I’m going to keep in my trunk for road trip emergencies now… rope and a skateboard!
 
Sending you love and laughs,
Mayet

An Independence Day Message

July 4, 2024

It’s Independence Day in the U.S which is making me think about freedom of course.  Which makes me think of sovereignty which is defined as freedom from external control or controlling influence.  I don’t think we can say that’s the state we’re in, right?

The word is applied to spiritual matters sometimes and seems to imply freedom in that context – one would assume it’s freedom from earthly matters.  I’ve inquired about spiritual sovereignty and even written about it here a time to two.  Recently I received a new take on spiritual sovereignty that’s a great share, I think.  

A client and I have been doing a month of readings from the book Mother Mary, Visions and Visitations, by Robert Frutos.  It relates 31 documented reports of Mother Mary visitations that have occurred around the world.

I read early each day during my Morning Musings and part way through our month, I started jotting down messages from Mother Mary that came in my meditations following the reading.  They were quite wonderful and as I shared them with my client, it added a lovely dimension to the Mother Mary practice.  

One of those recent messages mentions sovereignty, defining it in a really interesting way I think.  I used it in the recent weekly article called 4 Wise Sayings.  The first of those saying had part of that Mother Mary message, though I didn’t mentioned it as such in that article.

That message, in its entirety, seems the perfect Independence Day message for us.  Here it is:

“I am associated with ministrations unto children, to those in pain or in need of healing.  It is often thought that I am one whose prayers primarily concern these.  And certainly prayers for the health and well-being of humanity are always in my heart.

But were I to give the essence of my prayers I would say that my prayerful intent for humanity is that each being glimpse or fully come to know their own sovereign nature.

For What is Sovereignty?  True sovereignty is living in the experience of having no barrier between you and your Creator.”

That takes my own understanding of what sovereignty means to us, to a new level.  Such a beautiful revelation!  The freedom of living with not barrier between me and my creator!

May all beings come to understand their own sovereign natures and to live in the experience of having no barrier between them and their Creator.  This is my prayer.

With love,
Mayet Leilani

Emptying all Those Old Boxes in the Basement

June 27, 2024

In an old journal recently, I came across this beautiful short suggestion or invitation. It isn’t dated and I also can’t tell if it’s something I took down in meditation or if it’s a thought I gleaned elsewhere. So I’m not sure whether to credit it to Wisdom as I know it, or to someone I heard or read.

It seems too good not to share though, and I’m sure you’ll find it as helpful as I do for dealing with all the residue rising in us and in the world right now.

“Let this year be the year in which you let everything you deem unworthy of your Enlightened mind – every thought of scarcity, every sense of unworthiness, every fear or trauma – let them all simply rise to awareness and transmute them through your own love of self and through your honesty. Accept what is there and don’t pretend to feel otherwise, for the wisest are always the humblest.

Take a deep breath into the body and let go of the old regret or fear, or the old bones you chew whenever they rise up in your mind. And as your exhaled breath is leaving your body, realize there is nothing worth holding onto any longer if it keeps your own peace and happiness at arm’s length.

Become fully committed – fully – to the experience of happiness. Do this in the same way you’ve been fully committed to the unhappiness and limitation, to the failures, fears and lack that have always filled your thoughts and continue to bedevil you to this day. Cease to dwell on them and commit to dwelling on the goodness that is all around. Having recognized honestly and humbly what is there, firmly reposition your mind from the one to the other.

When doing this, give Creator full permission to sweep that old basement clean, knowing this: there really is nothing down there worth defending, hiding or protecting. There really isn’t. Be honest about what is/was/has been. Then, let it go in your cleansing breath, giving permission for the purification to be that simple.

Repeat this whenever necessary and keep letting it be that simple, cleaning out all those old thoughts and feelings in the basement that your mind stores down there and keeps rummaging through. “

What a terrific invitation, excellent advice and a great metaphor for the housecleaning that’s going on because of the energetics of these times.

Here’s to a year of “spring cleaning” and the fresh lovely home we will each be at the end of it!
Big hugs,
~Mayet
