Ascension: Performance Character and Diligence

shrubberyThere are many aspects of human character that lead to human flourishing. Personal discipline is often viewed as diligence, evidencing speech and behaviour that is strong, constant and reliable guide to action and outcomes. What we observe of another person is the indicator of character. Confidence in another person is an indicator of their diligence.

Ascension: Performance Character and Spirituality

canyon and cloudIn an earlier post we wrote of surfing the waves on the ocean called life. When we think the waves called Ascension in the ocean of life, how do we take up learning about Ascension; is this also learning about ourselves? Careful investigation suggests there are many dimensions to the phenomena we call Ascension, the most important of which may be – for many – spirituality.

Overview of Performance Character

Surfing the ocean of lifeWe all surf the ocean called life. Some have ankle straps and never lose their boards. Others squat on the board and paddle, while some fall off. We all approach the surfboard and the Ocean of Life with our character, our embedded – or learned – ways of approaching and doing things. Strength of character is the foundation for life-long integrity and thriving. Good character is not any one thing but a cornucopia of positive traits illustrated by one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We look to overview these elements of good character, often called Performance Character.

An Introduction to Human Values

Flower with the five human valuesWhat are Human Values? Human Values are those universal concepts, drivers of action which are found in all cultures, all societies, all times and in all places where human beings eke out their lives. The five human values, which can be found in all cultures, all societies and in all religions, are Truth, Right Conduct, Love, Peace and Non-Violence.

from the rainbow to the rainbow light

rainbow light withinAs part of the journey to ascension, we are asked to move from visualising white light within to visualising rainbow light within. It is as if the human form has become a moving prism scattering rainbow light everywhere. In higher dimensions, there are more colours of greater and faster vibration and intensity: more colour, more colourful. How do we experience this?

Decision making and your Spirit

Decision making and your spiritIn these days of the coronavirus – and threats to public health – as well as your own personal health, we need to be clear-headed about the decisions we make – particularly in the times that create stress and challenge for ourselves and for many, many other people. What is the best way for me to make important decisions at this time? How can I know I am making the right decision? What feelings will I have if I go ahead and do as I wish? What do we do with all this media information about who is right, who is wrong, is there a vaccine, should I take this or that solution? We need to use discernment, along with our common sense, and our spiritual sense. All these – together – can guide us on the path of life.

How to Die

Coffin into burial groundAkshara Brahma Yoga (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7) speaks of the imperishable Godhead. The atma (soul), too, is imperishable. What is not imperishable is the round of birth-death-and-birth again. One day we tire of these experiences and seek the return to our eternal source. How to do this? Most are afraid to speak of dying, and even, afraid to speak in the presence of the dying. Perhaps this selection from the Bhagavad Gita will explain why one or another guru tells those who surround the dying to chant the Om, the manifestation of Source and its creation.

Your Frequency and Your Soul

Soul imageThe quality of your spiritual life is very much dependent on the quality of what you surround your soul with: your thoughts, your words, your actions. The mind is a bundle of thoughts, and the mind – driven by ego and desire – puts out energy. Whatever energy the mind is putting out to the world – that selfsame energy is surrounding your soul.

Creating One’s own Spiritual Atmosphere

Candle flameSpirituality might be described as a lifestyle, a way of engaging with the world, and a way of disengagement with the world. Spirituality is also a deliberate cultivation of an atmosphere in order that we manage the mind and keep it focussed on our spiritual goals. The worst thing one can do is to discuss spirituality with someone who has no spirituality. In the words of one paramaguru, it will lessen your own spirit.
