Meditation Stories & Spirit Tales

Image
The following tales and stories are to all accounts true without exaggeration or any kind of fabrication.  For me they represent the common idiom, "everything is connected". Along with the wisdom of ages: "As above, so below."  you can add: "Whats good for the goose is good for the gander." Lets begin: Once I was meditating sitting on the bed in the apartment in Lincoln Park, Chicago when my children were just infants. They were both taking a nap at the time. During my meditation I could feel there was something in me that was stuck and didn't feel right.          I could feel something like a knot in my chest. It wasn't something new for me and I knew it didn't belong there. It was like a small pebble pressing inside my sternum.  I remained in meditative mind for quite some time, close to an hour I think. Suddenly, I felt something break free and fly out of me in a rush and I felt a deep relief. In that very instant I heard a door slam about t...

Paradise Here and Now

Image
  Paradise Here and Now The awakening of the 3rd Eye leads to becoming cosmically conscious in a state of divine awareness of the knowledge of all forms of all things. This knowledge was hidden from human beings so that they could be kept in ignorance of their spiritual birthright and instead become restricted to religious agendas that exploit them using guilt and fear. Jesus said: “Heaven is spread over the earth but you do not see it.” “ If heaven is up in the sky, then the birds will get there before you. And if heaven is under the sea, the fishes will get there before you.” He said, “The kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Break open a stone, there heaven is, and seeing the intricate beauty of the lily blossom, there also is heaven. "If those who lead you say to you, 'The kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. But the kingdom is inside of you. And it is outside of y...

When a Man Conserves His Seed

Image
  When a man conserves his seed, an inner power develops. His concentration becomes sharper. He develops the magnetism of genuine individuality and feels in command of himself, authentic with self-integrity. He gains the freedom to say, "yes" or to say "no".  The ordinary man is a slave to his urges, to his sex glands. He is afraid to go against what is expected of him. He is like the beggar who each day becomes weaker and weaker as his bodily functions lose cohesion and internal harmony. The man who guards his essence develops a furnace of inner fire that steadies his emotions making all his actions take on a new and deeper potency; a potency that reflects his deep inner nature of strength and fortitude. A man who masters himself cannot be manipulated or enslaved. His lifeforce becomes concentrated. His inner structure gets stronger. The man who conserves his essence is frightening to others because he cannot be bought; cannot be predicted; cannot be led by society...

Osho Dream June, 2000

Image
  Osho Dream 2000 The year was just after the century turned over and the Y2K scare was everywhere. I had recently left a commune in Louisa, Virginia and from there took a Greyhound bus accross the country to Seattle. After arriving I moved into one of the three Osho houses in the city. There were several of his disciples in the house. His picture was displayed in several location and one of the sanyasas had collected over twenty or thirty of his books. But their behavior was not harmonious and there was constant tension and disagreements. I thought they must be neurotic the way they kept finding things wrong around them blaming each other for trifles and insignificant things.  After his transition into spiritual life I had a dream where Osho told me directly and clearly,  “I want you to be my successor. You can lead my devotees by example. You are high caliber.” I took this as a g...
