Black holes in outer space are likened to Lord Shiva… one maps onto the other. They are both unmanifest and infinite. There is a perimeter around black holes where things are destroyed and thrown off.
~
Similarly, identities are destroyed as one approaches the Transcendent—Lord Shiva. There are legends about arms, legs, and torsos being cast off as demons approach Lord Shiva. A battle rages.

From the outside looking in, that can be perceived as negativity. But we do not mind. We understand the process, we understand the mechanic, we understand negativity for what it is.
~
Within you, there is a periphery around the Absolute. It exists predominantly within the personality level—emotional, mental, etc. As you evolve, the Absolute will throw off your impurities.
~
To enter the Absolute, you must let them go or be thrown off with them. As you experience this process within yourself and as you observe it in others, understand it for what it is.

The facilitation of human evolution is a subtle art. As time passes, you develop a feel for this process. It goes through stages… brief stages superimposed upon longer ones. These stages can last for hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
~
You cycle from times when you feel confused, to times when you think you have it all figured out… From times when you love the process, to times when you find it unbearable… From times of positivity to times of negativity… From times of peace, to times of despair, etc.
~
The first few times around the block, you may feel like you are going around in circles. Yet if you stay on the evolutionary path, in time, you realize it is not a circle.

It is a spiral leading upward to the Highest Heaven.
Love that . . . “a spiral leading upward to the Highest Heaven.” Beautiful. Thank you.
It seems to me as we continue to move up this long and winding road the gravitational pull of old habits and conditioning perceptibly weakens while at the same time Heaven draws us nearer.
Still, it is fascinating how feelings keep coming and going – constantly changing with ups, downs and seemingly more contentment as I am easier with processing and being with those constantly changing feelings. There is a real beauty to the change of feelings. I am starting to experience more wonder than concern or excitement about my and other’s feelings as they are serving as indispensible guides providing lessons and inspiration along the road.
This is one feeling that seems to continually be growing stronger in me: If we persevere in working with the Knowledge, allow plenty of time for reflection and dedicate ourselves to our meditation practice, we’ll be knocking on Heaven’s Door sometime soon.
Is that a conviction? I think so…and it sure feels right to me.
Reading this helped to anchor the part of “we do not mind” within me. I also read this as an explanation of what the whole of humanity is going through more and more strongly and of what is up ahead and the need for me to stay in that place of “we do not mind” not only for my self but for all that is happening around me. Thank you for this.
