Wisdom is our goal, not knowledge. Knowledge is the realm of the mental body and the lower-self. Wisdom is the realm of the higher mind and the soul. Knowledge is important and it is an essential step into wisdom. However, understanding how to use knowledge for the highest good is true wisdom. I recently read this passage from The Gnostic Gospel edited by Marvin Meyer and Willis Barnstone and I felt it was worth sharing.
The Poison Arrow is one of my favorite Buddhist parables (I seem to have many favorite parables). I hope you enjoy this replay and I encourage you to come back to it often.
Sometimes we need an entire post and sometimes we just need a reminder of who we are. These postcards are short, channeled messages from Source. Remember who you are, Beloveds.
Sri Swami Satchidananda wrote one of my favorite books from the Hindu tradition - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Some of you may remember this passage because I posted it on my first website many years ago. I am moved to share it.
I am still mastering peace and joy. I know that may be hard to believe but it is true which is why these are my two resonances of focus again. Each year I recommend that you ask your souls for two primary resonances, the ones most important to you for the coming year. In 2017, my two primary resonances were Divine Peace and Pure Joy. In 2018, they were Unconditional Love and Divine Mercy. Once again, in 2019, I focused on peace and joy, and I still am in 2021.
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it. While the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
