"There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest heaven. This is the light that shines in our hearts."  ~Chandogya Upanishad 3.13.7 "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ."  ~2 Corinthians 4:6 Both the Vedic and Christian traditions make the same astonishing claim: that the divine light embodied by the universe shines from the intimate core of our own hearts, as the light of Consciousness. This radiance is deeper inside us than our mind, yet it is the very energy from which the cosmos is created. Distance is illusion.

    I just found this little meditation written 15 years ago and thought it worth resurrecting... "All through the physical world runs that unknown content which must surely be the stuff of our consciousness."  ~Sir Arthur Eddington, founder of quantum physics "Bread which fills the hungry, we utter over you the name of the Mother. Come, hidden Mother, unite with us in this sacrament which we celebrate in your name." ~Gnostic Acts of Thomas Many spiritual seekers attempt to rise above the body and transcend matter. But matter is "mater," the Great Mother herself, who among early Christian Gnostics was considered to be the Holy Spirit. In true meditation, we don't need to transcend the body, or rise above matter. We ARE matter. Instead of resisting what we are, we can consciously embrace our weight, our mass, our connection with the ground, and the sacred pull of gravity. Gravity is the grace of the Mother. Gravity centers us. As it pull...
