The speaker for this session was Jeddha Mali and very inspiring it was too. She had studied in India with many spiritual masters including the Dalai Lama.
In essence her message was no matter how much you have studied, how many books you have read and how many hours you meditate, unless you connect with the power within you will never go through the gate to actual experience. Without this experience you will only have an intellectual understanding of spirit. This is but a pale shadow of the real thing.
By all means use the tools of teachers, books, meditations and exercise but don't give your power away.
It sounds as if the message put forth by Jeddha Mali is so very true...how can you make sense of the external world if you cannot make first understand yourself.
ReplyDeleteThis begs the question of 'agency'. Who is in charge when 'you' enter the non-egoic state?
ReplyDeleteI am unable to answer that! However what I am trying to express ( badly ) is that no true teacher would want you to give away your power to them rather than the reality they are pointing to. Beyond words!
