Thank you so much Niels for recommending the Power of Silence audio. It’s been an amazing tool for changing focus and perspective towards the Infinite life. So many conscious reminders, along with the sacred background chants and music make this a very special and powerful gem, that I’m very grateful for. Thank you!
There is no longer a choice between life-enhancing or life-destroying, just between life-enhancing or MORE life-enhancing
Courage is only needed to override the objections of the mind. When the mind is still, right action is automatic.
Like the flickering shards of light and shadow on the wall cast by the fire in our hearth, many beings march across the canvas of our eternal lives. Allow them to come and go in the fluid procession that the adventure may be a pleasant one. Our being is our sustenance and all our needs are supplied.
“Having roots to have wings” – I second that! That has long been my motto prior to discovering Almine’s teachings ~ Flourish through service: the body in service to the infinite for power to mature and stretch wings to soar…
…..
This morning I randomly choose an Awakening from the Dream archive “032412_Sovereignty” ~ from it I add to thee gems…
“Nothing new can ever exist except the newnss of our response to it…We have assumed forgetfulness in order to respond with surprise”
And a vote of humor to Niels’ suggested radio show title on that show: “Stepping of Fairies: Deep Spirituality with Almine” 🙂
Whenever I feel challenged by something, or in a state that gives the illusion of severely diminishing my self sustaining vastness, I remind myself of this simple yet life altering truth: I am All Things. Not a direct quote or aphorism, more like an affirmation that sums up just about everything. Reminds me that I can do/be/express anything, there is no limit to my strength or capabilities. Sometimes this acts as an instant boost to my body.
Well, that’s just about unbeatable…
I like: “A master waits for moments when a contribution to life can be made”.
What helped me was the statement, having roots to have wings. So simple, very enjoyable. Slainte, Michael
Hi everyone. I’ve never posted on the diary before but I wanted share this tidbit from the hakulit that has stayed with me ever since it was posted back in Febuary : “Never impose your worldviews, value systems or social conditioning.”
Beautiful, Paris!
What was it again as a followup to that sentence?
“You have come here to learn. Not be an arrogantly purveyor of truths”, or something along those lines 🙂
Here we go:
Lately I return to this Almine’s aphorism again and again: “Be cautious with words because they shouldn’t be taken at face value. When presented with new information (including mine), use discernment and determine that which resonates in harmony with the song of your heart, gently allowing the rest to roll away like water off a duck’s back.”
There is a reason why I need to reread this one again and again – I have a tendency to take Almine and everything she says/does very seriously … and sometimes forget that the most important thing is not listening to her or anybody else but to sing the song of my heart 🙂
One more thing – It came to my mind that it would be great to have something similar to this little promotion on the subject of favorite tools, favorite sigls, maybe even incantations 🙂 . I was reading the tread on the most powerful sigl on ascention.net and I loved it, I loved all the posted sigls and the comments how people use them!
Thanks for those words Dhani, I really liked them so I decided to buy this mp3 as I felt it was perfect right now for me.
There are 3 different soundscapes going on. Almine singing, Almine giving the talk on silencing the mind, and Almine whispering very intimately sacred words in Mother’s language.
So there I was, deeply into it, eyes shut, drinking it all in, feeling totally immersed – then it stopped!
I looked up to see Minnie cat sitting on my laptop. I don’t know how she did it but she pressed ‘pawsed’. She wanted to go out and wasn’t going to have to wait for me to surface. So I got up, let her out and went back to listening. I just thought it was really funny how she stopped it to get my attention. Smart cat.
I think it’s a great idea to have this little competition, so although I don’t need the prize, I’m going to start the ball rolling. I’ve got my copy of The Thought That Fractured The Infinite here, I’m going to open it up and write out the first aphorism I come across. Here goes.
“True listening takes place in the absence of thought. Only then can you enter into the experience of another’s world. To truely listen to someone else is to assilmilate a new perspective.”
So funny what happened with you and your cat, Avril.
Pawsed. Cheeky. But hilarious 🙂
I too have just rediscovered this and the other meditations by Almine. Playing the Power of Silence right now, actually. Wow. All I can say it is a masterpiece. Just beckoning to pick up the path of mastery… totally becoming self-reffering for approval.
I just came across this golden oldie…
“He who knows himself to be the All is wealthy indeed for he is heir to the starry skies and the silk of a spiders web alike.”
The Power of Silence is the first CD of Almine’s that I listened to….over and over…and over…..again and again. Its value is immeasurable in the way it helped me silence the “monkey mind” that chatters away without any signs of wearing out…. in this lifetime. After years and years of meditation practice, I still could not completely silence my mind until I listened to this brilliant CD. Almine is saying sacred words in, I think, Mother’s language throughout the meditation and this is what stops dead, the old tapes from turning ON in your head. It is a great practice. I liked to listen to it any time of day, everyday and especially before going to bed.
Best wishes everyone from an Almine groupie.
My favorite aphorism comes from Almines audiobook the way of the toltec nagual. It is a flake of purity that says ”there is only one choice in the cosmos what is life enhancing and what is more life enhancing.”
