Oh ya, wasn't I in India some time ago? I know its been along time. But, since my return I have felt I have left this blog hanging. Closure is needed.
Its been about eight months since my return from the mother land. The entirely profound experience is now just a snapshot within a larger greater plan, that which is my current life on this planet. Yet, still lessons learned present themselves in a split thought or when the opportunity opens up and the lesson needs to be applied. And it remains a journey.
Just to get it straight, here are some hard bulleted lessons learned:
- Always trust your gut feeling.
- Do a whole lot of research before going to an ashram in India.
- Trust in the Divine.
- You are your own guru.
- You need nobody's approval but your own.
- There is no such thing as a waste of time.
- Nothing is neither positive or negative, it is what it is.
- But, its good to keep a positive attitude towards the unknown.
- Trust yourself, trust in the Divine.
- Move on, stop dwelling on old wounds, traumas, and things of the past. THAT is a waste of time.
- Oh ya, and for those of you reading this who are thinking about going to an ashram, do not go to Tureya Ashram, everything you have read on their multiple websites is complete bullshit.
Don't be fooled by the bullets. Something about bullets make it seem so straight forward, simple and easy to get.
Ha!
My time spent in India last winter seems so strange now. Sometimes when I look back I wonder, "was I really in India?" Of course I know I was there on that sub-continent, but given the depth of personal and spiritual work that I was going through, its like India was there to provide the soil. India is the ground in which spirituality can be nurtured and encouraged or perhaps thrust upon you like a tidal wave. It is everywhere around you. Immersing yourself in it is effortless. In a way, I think India is "holding" the rest of the world up spiritually, keeping us grounded on the path of spiritual transformation.
