Simran: Self Love or Self Hate

Image
Simran (from Wikipedia):  is Punjabi word derived from the Sanskrit word स्मरण ( smaraṇa , "the act of remembrance , remembrance, reminiscence, recollection") which leads to the realization of that which is of the highest aspect and purpose in one's life. It is the continuous remembrance of the finest aspect of the self, or the continuous remembrance (or feeling) of God, thus used for introducing spirituality . This state is maintained continuously while carrying out the worldly works outside. Simran is remembrance and we either remember our Higher Self and Spirit, or we remember everything bad about our self and our actions.  One is Spiritual Simran, the other is Lower Body Simran.

While the quiet ones have to learn to have a voice, wolfy women have to find outlets for their voice-- as muggle society has little room for the wolfy's.  Singing with the sister moon. Being a wolf woman has pitfalls. Many want to hang with them hoping some of the wol

Mmmm Mmmmm Good - The dangers of meditation

Lower body sensations-- yum !  Food, wine, women/men, sensuality.  What does that have to do with Spirituality ?  I see everything as the yin/yang sign. Everything has good and challenge in it. As we meditate we increase our energy field and our sensitivities. We can see, feel, or hear Spirits, Ancestors, Mother Earth and revel in it. Our lower body sensations will also increase and we are tempted to seek out Earth Pleasures above and before our Spiritual Ascension. We abandon friends for fame, drink rather than meditate, lie to keep the peace rather than seek to deepen through honesty, etc. There is a thin line here. As we evolve, so does temptation. Like the yin/yang sign, the dark and light are always in balance here on Earth as part of our Journey is a constant choice between temptation and ascension.   They are not mutually exclusive, but rather a sophisticated balancing act as we strive for detachment. We learn to enjoy Earth without becoming trapped by desires. Easy to say,
