In The world Not Of it
How To Be In The World But Not Of It
I am guided to - once and a while - share my own experience and thoughts with you, like a personal (short) blog entry. I love to write. Today the word that keeps coming to me is ACTIVISM. For me - #yoga and gathering in community, unifying movement, breath and intention where one or more are gathered - Is a form of activism in today's world. It is radical to gather, it is radical to be a healthy, happy and harmonious human being.
Yoga is a form of #physical activism: reclaiming bodily health, autonomy, vitality, energy and strength, #mental activism: purifying and reclaiming your ability to think ~ freely ~ for yourself, to discern, decide, act and access creative / divinity of thought to manifest your Heaven On Earth, #spiritual activism: not only to activate Spirit but anchor it in your physical vessel (embodiment), train and learn how and what it takes to cleanse, strengthen and brighten your Aura / Spirit Shield so you can radiate The Light that pierces all darkness.
If you are unhappy with the way things are going in your life, relationships, in the world around you - if you find yourself complaining or feeling helpless, hopeless or like a victim - try doing something ( anything ) about it, empower yourself in the ways that you CAN with a little willingness and effort... and watch your world change to match your new frequency of choosing empowerment over victimhood.
The most powerful form of activism is to figure out how to actually Be healthy, happy and harmonious regardless of all outer circumstances, to not get "hooked in" or distracted from the goal that is your mission, the goal "to be in the world but not of it". This "aim" is exponentially made more accessible and accelerated through the mirror, witness, strength and power of a community unified in consciousness... through the "web of Life we weave", through the dream we are dreaming together.
It is in fully and dynamically living your Life without hesitation to following your own heart's guidance and body's wisdom - it is in your personal Sovereignty and empowerment as a Soul with a divine mission on earth to fulfill.
How do we know and realize the mission... simply ask yourself this question;
"What brings me the most joy, activates the most energy and passion, inspiration, enthusiasm, deep satisfaction and feelings of fulfillment in my life?" "What lights me up without fail?"
Your answer = mission possible.
Guruji says that our (humanity's) primary obligation should be #health, #happiness and #harmony within (on an individual level first), before we can/will see and collectively realize health, happiness and harmony in the external, on the level of the society.
Yoga OPENS your body, heart and mind ( your consciousness ) to access all that and more... it opens you up to receive even more of who you Are in spiritual truth, to expand your Self identity. You are a multi-dimensional, vast, boundless, otherworldly unique Being capable of bliss and existing As divine love in perpetual motion. You are a living prayer, the answer and revelation for whatever It is that you already sense and deeply feel to be true and therefore seek to experience, to intimately know, realize, actualize and Be.
