Bliss
a poem by Mahi
Free falling
i am consumed by heart's gravity.
Guarding against
putting up my guard
dissolved
I burst forth into infinite form...
what from a distance
sounded like silence
Drawing closer
I hear a heart beat
closer still
only laughter...
Effortlessly I make effort
as if by trying
I can more quickly become
who I already am..
Swimming in silence
listening to its love songs
drinking this nothingness
so delicious
I am ready to burst
and I wonder
why do I settle for less
than total emptiness?
I struggle without struggling
I suff
The Greatest Feeling In the World, Part VI
AWARENESS allows a person to understand themselves and to understand others. This AWARENESS allows us to even forgive those who have hurt us because we realize that those who intentionally hurt others are living with an internal hell themselves in which they feel like others are attacking them.
Most souls on earth have a great deal of unhealed ego with glimmers of pure Heart shining through from time to time. It is the glimmers of Heart that allow the world to go on. It is the moments of clear awareness that hold the world together.

The first step toward the loss of joy is fear. But what exactly is fear? If we are all made of energy then what is this fear made of?
Fear is a denial of our heart. Fear is a denial of our true essence. But since denial cannot cause the Heart to dissolve, fear is an illusion. Fear creates an illusion that seems real.

Fear is but a dream in which we deny life.

In the core of each individual lives the TRUE Self. This Self lives in the Heart and feels at peace. In some cultures this core part of the self is called The Being in the Heart. This is our true Being.
In this place, deep within, we feel at peace with others…. even others who appear to be enemies. The Being in the Heart feels total bliss, total love. Some even describe this feeling as ECSTASY. It is an ecstasy, a feeling of bliss even greater than what can be felt through drugs, and there are no hangovers or negative side effects.

As the identity becomes lost in the mind, the voice of the Heart can seem to have vanished. The various conditions of the mind find it difficult to trust, because trusting other outward conditions had led to disappointment. It is only when the attention shifts to the unconditional, that the mind can find a safe place to trust again.
Separation within the Self usually begins as a result of feeling deeply hurt. Part of the self tries to protect itself by isolating itself from other parts of the outer world AS WELL AS THE INNER WORLD. This unresolved conflict will cause our outer world to

If we can become AWARE of the different parts of self, those parts can all become friends and learn to communicate with each other. Awareness of the WHOLE self allows the different parts of the Self to cooperate towards one common goal of a fulfilling life.
As we become more AWARE of the different parts of the self we are able to find harmony, peace, and balance. It is only then that happiness becomes possible.
If the different parts of the Self are not understood, we feel more and more disconnected inside of ourselves.
