I can't be that different from anybody else in that even at an early age I often thought about the after-life. My upbringing in the Episcopal church placed me in the middle of the extremes and without thinking for myself, assumed that what I was taught was true. There is a Heaven and there is a Hell but unless you really screw up, you're going to Heaven. I was 10 years old.

I can't be that different than anybody else in that when I was young, I tried alternative escapes from my confusion by the use of self- medication.

After I had a bad trip from doing hash that was laced with LSD and thinking that a water tower was actually a giant squirrel wanting to eat me, I abandoned that route of discovery. I was 20 years old. I can't be that different from anybody else in that after I realized that I would not find God in church or self-medication, I considered the alternatives.

I studied Buddhism and a host of other approaches and maintained a very disciplined meditation practice for 10 years. I assumed that what I was taught was true and that Nirvana was attainable. After I tripped the light fandango, had some out of body experiences, I saw the irreconcilable discrepancy between being in a state of nirvana and actually walking the earth.

I was 40 years old. In all religions, an escape exists. One day you won't be here. After you die, you'll be there. And "there" is better than "here. Even the Episcopal church doesn't promise virgins. Why are we taught not to be here? What is wrong with being here? As Stephen Hawking recently argued, it is time to colonize the moon and Mars because according to him, it's not going to be a lot of fun being here before too long.

Savitri, too, made a choice. She made a choice to be here because of her love for Satvayan. She decided that heaven was not "there" but "here.

Is it possible that a directional problem exists that lies at the heart of your confusion about what you are doing here? Is is possible that death will not be your reprieve as you have been taught? Is it possible that it is not about you going to heaven but about heaven coming to you? The error of the Church, of self-medication, of escape is that what you seek does not lie outside of you It is who you are.

If you understand this, you can solve some really big issues for yourself Example: The reason that no one and no thing can complete you is because you were never incomplete in the first place.

And that's just for starters! Thought falls from us, we cease from joy and grief; The ego is dead; we are freed from being and care, We have done with birth and death and work and fate. O soul, it is too early to rejoice! The grief, the freedom you seek from work and paying your bills, the silent struggle of your fate, the burden you face in your daily pursuit to come with the terms of your existence, the losses On what dead bank on the Eternal's road? Once was within thee who was self and world.

What hast thou done for his purpose in the stars? Escape brings not victory and the crown! Something thous cam'st to do from the Unknown, But nothing is finished and the world goes on Because only half God's cosmic work is done. Only the everlasting No has neared And stared into thy eyes and killed thy heart: But where is the Lover's everlasting Yes, And immortality in the secret heart.

You can only get "there" by being "here. It is time for the other half of you to begin. Religion may have been able to save a few souls here and there but it has been unable to spiritualize humanity. In North Carolina, we have one the highest percentages in the United States of children under 18 years of age who are food insecure on a regular basis: The plethora of public figures living lives of contradictions and hypocrisies are no longer secretly hidden but touted as virtues.

If you accept that violence need not result in bloodshed for there to have been violence, you see violence everywhere you go.

Voter suppression and discrimination are legalized in numerous states. There is no need for me to keep going on with this. You get the point.

It appears that it is only out of sorrow and darkness that things change. But what if that is not true? What if there was an easier way other than starring in "The Comedy of Ignorance? What I would invite you to do is to identify without any judgment whatsoever something that you deeply desire but something for which you have substituted something much lesser. While there are many, just identify one. Perhaps it's a passionless marriage, an unfulfilling job, or a mental, physical or emotional addiction you've learned to accept.

Now, take 10 steps back from it. Now, take another 10 steps back and be sitting on the first row of the playhouse watching your own comedy of ignorance play out. Watch with amusement how you have it set up in such a way that you always end up with the problem. Notice what you have to pretend is true to make sure you always end up with the lie. Now, read the following as you watch yourself play the problem out on stage.

What is shut off inside, hidden within, denied, but there? What slumbers inside of you waiting to be awakened? If this problem was not part of your life, then what would you have it be?

Above and away from the ignorance, if this problem did not exist, then what would exist? Instead of living with the substitution, what would you have it be? If there was one, just one, part of your life that you wanted to see fulfilled, what would it be? And now, translate the unthinkable into a thought! Translate the unimaginable into a possibility!

I am certain that many people see surrender as giving up or giving in and of course, surrender is neither. My personal experience taught me that my ability to surrender was directly proportional to my ability to understand ahead of time the outcome of that surrender.

If I did not understand the outcome of surrender, then my actions could not be surrender but only a form of hope, of wishing things to turn out a certain way. But that's not surrender. Aurobindo stated, "Faith is law recognized. In understanding how things work, you see the evolving perfection of not only your life but the lives of others. You see the certainty of the Divine in all things, even the pain.

You get to see through the physical and understand the metaphysical. Your life is no longer based on what happens outside of you but what ha a ppens on the inside of you. Understood in these terms, faith is not necessary. Faith is not certainty. Faith is hope but you don't need hope if you're certain! You don't even need faith. Faith is a form of fear in disguise.

Here, show yourself something. All I am asking you to do is to temporarily accept the following statement. You don't have to believe it You only see two things. And you see stuff moving. Everything else is what you made up. Now, just watch the stuff sitting still and the stuff moving around and let go of everything else you made up about both. Watch the traffic, the busyness of life, the gnawing and thrashing about, the living and the dying, just watch it.

Just watch the victory and defeat, the gain and the loss. But let go of everything you have ever attached to it. As all the stuff you made up begins to empty out, even if it takes years, what starts happening? What begins to fill the emptiness? Infinite, coeval with the mind of God, It bore within itself a seed, a flame, A seed from which the Eternal is new-born, A flame that cancels death in mortal things. All grew to all kindred and self and near; The intimacy of God was everywhere, No veil was felt, no brute barrier inert, Distance could not divide, Time could not change A fire of passion burned in spirit-depths, A constant touch of sweetness linked all hearts, The throb of one adoration's single bliss In a rapt ether of undying love.

An inner happiness abode in all, A sense of universal harmonies, A measureless secure eternity Of truth and beauty and good and joy made one. Here was the welling core of finite life; A formless spirit became the soul of form. Would you prefer to hold onto your stuff or would you be willing to let it go in order to have this? For world and self are one. You can only see "out there" what you see "in here. In even a second of surrender, the silence and emptiness will begin to be replaced with a sense of redemption, a breath of eternal love and a certainty of safety and balance.

Where is your joy? Where it has always been. The difficulties that lie before you in your pursuit of daily life can be staggering. The ones that have a lot are trying to make sure that the ones who don't have a lot don't get theirs. It can be so difficult to rise above scarcity mentality. The difficulties that lie before you in your pursuit of waking-up can be staggering. It can be so difficult to climb out of the hole. But climb you must. The years force you to become what is hidden in you as the truth of you really are grows.

The unthinkable becomes thought. The impossible becomes experienced. The dream becomes real. You make progress even if it's slow. The hypnotic state begins to fade.

In an outburst of heavenly joy and ease Life yields to the divinity within And gives the rapture-offering of its all. And the soul opens to felicity. A bliss is felt that never can wholly cease, A sudden mystery of the secret Grace Flowers goldening our earth of red desire.

Mathematically unbiased but equally distributed according to your unique condition, the difficulties will appear. But there is a major confrontation you must face. You need to increase your skills. Will you use the ancient toolbox you have always used to combat your issues? Will you resort as you historically do to your least sophisticated behaviors and fight your way through? Or are you willing to try something else?

Thus is it even with the seer and the sage; For still the human limits the divine: Out of our thoughts we must leap up to sight, Breathe her divine supremacy confess, Dare to surrender to her absolute. Then the Unmanifest reflects his form In the still mind as in a living glass; The timeless Ray descends into our hearts And we are rapt into eternity.

Now, bring a problem to mind and fill in the blank for yourself: But I am willing to let go. I am willing to surrender.

I am willing to be still and learn that everything is possible. In spite of my academic credentials, I am not nor have I ever been cognitively smart. When I was younger, I constantly failed math. While at NC State and having to pass two math classes, I took the lowest level math they had Apples and Oranges and made a C.

The second class, Algebra and Trig, was a nightmare. I failed it twice, dropped it once or twice and considered that I would never graduate. Then, a miracle occurred. Because of my habitual failure, I received a form letter from a professor and as the letter instructed, I set up an appointment with him to discuss my stupidity. Bob Savage if my memory is correct was kind to me and treated me with respect.

But he introduced me to a different way of learning math through video tapes where I could pause, rewind and fast forward. Suddenly, I was a genius. Required to take 20 tests, I made on 16 of the tests. My courage grew so greatly, I signed up for a non-required class in physics the following semester. I made a D but it was my D and I did it on my own without the need for video tapes. I was proud of myself and I would graduate on time. I learned that it was not a miracle I needed but the ability to see myself and the world differently.

Pain is joy's chrysalis.

Pain is the womb of bliss waiting to be transformed at any given moment. Beneath the struggle, the slow, tedious blossoming of growth, below the hurt, behind the fear and above the pain is your next of kin: And the blows of life can awaken in earthquake fashion the realization that you are something far greater than you have ever known yourself to be.

Impassioned, it sought the lone unrealized Truth, It longed for the light that knows not death and birth. Each stage of the soul's remote ascent was built into a constant heaven felt always here At each pace of the journey marvellous A new degree of wonder and of bliss, A new rung formed in Being's mighty stair, A great wide step trembling with jewelled fire As if a radiant God had given his soul That he might feel the tread of pilgrim feet Mounting in haste to the Eternal's house.

No matter where you are, you are on your way. No matter what has happened in the past, you are on your way. No matter what you think you are or think you're not, you are on your way.
