Your Inner Sense

Use your Inner Sense after Grounding yourself. As you walk look for the signs that most people cannot see. You can tell what has passed that way, with nothing but an almost imperceptible footprint. Reach out with your senses, can you tell about the owner? With enough practice you can begin to be able to tell the height, size, weight, age, sex, disabilities and diseases of the one who left the footprint. With Peace and meditation, You can begin to Sense people coming around the blind corner, before they knock on the door, go to the phone before it rings, throw away your watch and Sense events just before they happen! This is the Inner Sense.

Development and training of this Intuition doesn't happen overnight, it takes time. Most likely as you begin training, nothing will happen when you try, but when you let go of your thoughts, your Inner Sense will deliver this information to you.

Living in the moment.
What good is learning and following a tradition, teachers or masters if one cannot apply what has been learned in every day life? Yes, it is good for one thing to debate over the aspect of the tradition itself. An intellectual debate has relevance only when the tools of the tradition are referred to as a point of reference with the teacher or master as the authority.

The master of a Japanese or Chinese martial art is the Master of that tradition. But, there can come a time when the master turns to the student and takes back the final weapon and the student stands on his own as the master of his own Self. This is true mastery - the mastery of Essence.

For one who has handed back the last weapons in both the Japanese and Chinese martial Arts or become the master of his own Essence, what tradition would you say he follows?

Learning
Unless one can release all attachments to the knowledge, learning from books and following of teachers it is just that, tied to the limitations of a past tradition.

One learns to read Sanskrit, Hindi, Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin, and can translate these into English. What tradition does this person follow? Who are his teachers?

One studies Psychology, and spends time with a Taoist master, obtains a degree in Psychology and is ordained a Taoist Priest. Are these compatible, and which tradition is this person said to follow? Who are his teachers?

One studies yoga, and transcends to Bhakti after absorbing and realizing the intricacies of Hatha, Karma, Tantra, Kundalini, Jnani. Is this person a Yogi or does he follow a tradition?
The best that intellectual learning can be is a guide to the possibility that exists within yourself.

When the learning is applied to the life experience of the individual and all attachments to knowledge are released, only then can Knowledge and Experience merge into Wisdom.

With Wisdom comes Integrity, the Self Mastery of the Traveler.

There is one common denominator in all traditions which can only be realized when all the learning is applied firstly to the self. From this point on, there is no learning, only the embrace of knowing.

This is the ability to access the essence of the Inner Sense, to speak from the Inner tuition which transcends all traditions. The only authority is the Self in the moment.

This is the essence of humility as there is nothing to gain, nothing to lose and nothing to defend.

This is Tantra. It is the way of the Tao and the essence of Zen. It is the embodiment of the Christ Principle and the expression of the Buddha nature.

Once there is self mastery, there are no traditions and the essence of all traditions find their commonality beyond the fundamentalist doctrines of "should" and "should not".
Life has meaning and spiritual practice is a communion with life in the moment of living.
Once there is self mastery, there are no mysteries, no secrets, nothing that needs understanding, as all are embraced in the all encompassing moment.

I have found that one either speaks from essence or one speaks from limitation.
The Self is beyond the limitation of tradition, doctrine, teachers and masters. It needs no heroes and speaks with the humility of an individuality which reflects all limitations in the personality ego.

There is purpose behind Life and Love, everything you do and everything you are, even though you may not be able to see it in the moment. Enlightenment is bringing to the Light of daily consciousness all of those memories which are down in the unconscious 'body-mind' and running through you, through your DNA, without you even being aware of their existence. They are your gifts, your talents, and your limitations.
