Big Heart speaks: Dharmic Body

The greatest way to pray, wish, dream and ask God/higer self/source/universe for anything is to ask by becoming that which you desire.  Don’t just see it, be it! 

Asking with words in a prayer or by writing down goals are powerful techniques, but sometimes the things we desire are just lower parts of our selve’s wants and needs activated by feelings of emptiness.  This can be painful if we don’t know the true self.  Settling for the lower impulses is shallow and many times disappointing (the resultant equivalent of habitually looking in the refrigerator for something when bored).  By looking within and looking fearlessly into that which we really desire we can attain all of our dreams with effortless ease.  For our deepest, peerless desire is no different from who/what we are: formless without begining and without end, “the dreamer” as Aboriginal shamans say.    From that all accepting, painfully joyous emptiness arises all forms “dreams”.  But we should not become attatched to those forms and lose our selves. 

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?“ KJV Mat 26

“..in the Aboriginal Dreamtime, there is a Dream in which everyone and everything is being Dreamed. Given the Dream, there is also a Dreamer, and the connection between the Dream and the Dreamer is the process of Dreaming. We all have the power of the Dream within us; it is our likeness to the Dreamer.”  — Nigel Taylor, Dreaming our Way Back to the Dreamer 

Never allow the dreamer to get lost in the objects of the dream.

We sometimes get fixated on the external objects and forms of life.  We think material things will make us happy.  We create for ourselves an ironic paradox as strange as the ego with which we interface with the outside world.  The very “desire” of the object can many times become the biggest obstacle because we unknowingly become fixated on the gap (not having) between us and the object which makes an even bigger gap between us and our happiness.  

We can have happiness instantly by simply living from our dharmic selves or dharmic body.  This means living toward our ultimate dream without comprimise and with our every action.

Having objects is not an intrinsically bad thing.  But don’t get fixated on the “wanting gap”.  Instead feel the objects and situations you wish as if they are already in the NOW.  Replace the gap of time/space with the wholness of feeling it NOW.  Allow that feeling to consumne all your fears.  That is the way of the dharmic self.
