Complete as Constituted – Sept 09

Chanting for a Couple of Months – Summer 09

Chanting is like stepping through the looking glass, only I was on the inside and am stepping out of crazy-land into the real world.

Back to a reverential attitude. Very nice. By giving us Param Atman who we can look up to even as Essence, as a kind of Super Source, Kris has freed me to have these kinds of reverential feelings again, only this time for my own Source’s Source dwelling in my Heart. [gives me someone to be grateful to when happiness overflows my bounds]

Surging clarity and focus of physical senses – jumping by leaps and bounds – very sharp, focused and acute at times, like a close-up or freeze-frame on whatever we are engaging at the time.

I notice this mostly visually. Intense visual feasts just sort of pop into focus, and I have to sit back and just absorb… Haven’t figured out another response… Easy to get overwhelmed…

Audio is not so rich for me because I am a kino, but sounds also are sometimes surprising and jarringly loud.

And touch – being a kino – is much more discriminating. I find myself able to manipulate small things more easily. My noticing and engaging emotions, and the feelings they cause in my body, is greatly enhanced.

Becoming aware that my body is giving me constant, valuable feedback on what I am doing and what’s going on in the world. [You could do worse than simply listening to what you body has to say and responding, all your waking moments.]

But the real effect is felt as a sort of gestalt of all these things into a noticeably refined awareness of just being myself, ‘Young Johnny’, hanging out here… and feeling fine!

That’s another thing, feeling fine about everything! And when I’m not feeling fine, it’s only a half-step back, recognition that I am not whatever the issue is – and boink! – back into feeling fine!

The best yet came over me the other day. I was innocently doing my laundry or whatever and suddenly realized that I had ready resources – well understood and ready resources and practiced techniques – to address any conceivable issue in my life here in the physical, up to and including death… [looking more and more like a fascinating, not-to-be-missed event btw ;]

I was commenting in an email recently, that all I have to do is point my consciousness in any particular direction, and momentarily my world starts to reorganize itself around this new stance. [When I am contemplating something, I can almost feel the moment when the stars turn to darts of light and we go to warp speed and engage our material energies.]

Without taking any more courses or reading any more stuff, I have become aware that I have inside myself, all the resources I need, up to and including my very being-ness, a spectacular resource indeed.

Somehow the chanting has availed me of this almost visceral understanding that I am complete as constituted.

There is no doubt that becoming a mentor to folks will be a very fine adventure, to be sure, but real conscious creation is not just creating some new variation on our perceptions as physically focused selves, but it’s about creating brand new perceptions of ourselves that encompass and elevate our entire expression here, anchoring it in our eternal, wise and blissful essential selves.
