" Without devotion, no energy " Saying
Hindu
Hindu
a devout life is simple. It is made of disciplines and prayers. The devotee never rests in inaction. It sits in the very act of serving. Plus it supports the momentum of service, plus there is the vital energy. It seems that this love story begins with a snap.
We broke with the small world of the ego where everything must be done for me , my spirituality, my awakening my welfare or the termination of my suffering. This world we now seem boring, devoid of energy, dead. There is not much point. As soon as we replongeons, we do not feel well there, there is a malaise. The ego is not dead. It may even sometimes become the object of a certain loathing. The monastic way of life in its most visible or spellings. We are talking about quitting. Religions have taken to the extreme this insatiable desire to do away with worldly life. We are like stretched between the temptations of the world and the joys of the mind, the call God, that by chance or due to a subtle curse, we could hear.
However, the devotion which we speak is not located at this level. It is located further downstream. In the plain. She does not heights, summits. It starts on the farms, villages, in daily life with others. It is more like a function, a job, it looks like a discipline ... We speak of devotional discipline .
In fact, let's be honest, there are times where we do not really want to sing the 365 names of God. It is true that we can remember moments when we felt prepared to remain in prayer for eternity. But this morning is gray, no form, and it remains to peel potatoes for lunch. It's cold. The discipline begins when the spiritual strength is more urgent than the desire of the ego: that of maintaining a certain comfort, he can be spiritual. The testimony most "civilized" (in the sense of a practice within an organized society) of the devotional practice, the ritual. In a traditional society, there is no distinction between the religious and the spiritual. Is repeated daily gesture which, due to a cyclical vision of time, becomes cosmic, as it repeats the sacred history of a people. Eliade speaks well of it.
Devotion anchored here in the fact of living in the presence of spiritual strength every day. Its roots are in the ordinary. In the temple at the corner of the street. In daily prayer that we do. Whatever we do. The stone statue could be there to remind us of the principle to which we have dedicated our lives. Previously, one must assume that this force has called us, told us about the depths of our being, we asked to change. We decided to follow her. The tools are on the table. We are ready to work. But what?
This question does not arise for the traditional people. Every morning we offer a puja to Bholenath to Benares to 8 pm The minarets are singing the profession of faith at 6 pm This guarantees a running "normal" life. In the rite, there is often also acts that put in the ground seeds of dissent. The seeds of confrontation with oneself, that out of the social sphere, may take a personal dimension. These germs can become powerful media processing. The primitive religion this plan is intermediate between the microcosm social, personal microcosm and the macrocosm. She works as a tool. The people can manipulate tools, as it has for a long time. The King has the tools and different responsibilities. Although it is not a priest, he has a duty to perform royal rituals to maintain the balance of the world. Many legends also speak of kings who renounced the world, become wandering monks. In consideration of the mechanical ritual acts we distinguish the different polarities. The ritual world is dualistic, pluralistic view.
devotional discipline is mechanical energy. The accumulation of names and forms mobilizes the intermediate energy . However, the root of this mechanism is a -mechanical . It is mystical. It is directed at the base to the No myself, could she be just another . And she reveals. The extreme stage of devotion is in the record of revelation. You end up trying to print the highest realities in the world. Because we have such confidence in God as the mountains of the company may be displaced. However, history shows us that this vision of the religious basis transforms time. The people see themselves in a history graduate, and soon the mystical space is recovered in the public domain. In the world of ego . On a personal level, just watch how much we try every day to impose our vision of the world to perceive this mechanism. We move our ego in the Self, with its baggage of identifications. Beliefs. At the beginning of the road, we are tempted by the imposition of our spiritual ideals and discipline imagination. But well, we may do nothing at all. The correct strategy is to remain in the ordinary, finding a simple, everyday space dedicated to this sacred world. Humility requires that the act serves to fuel the practice. It is easier to praise a life of prayer and meditation to live. The first stage
of worship should be conducted behind closed doors. As a retreat in the desert ... We learn to be alone. It is well advised not to talk about his practice. To keep for himself. on Earth Aleyrac , there always comes a time when we must be alone in field. The return of the practitioner, few would question him about what he did. We respect the privacy of each practice. However, we can feel when something was offered with deep feeling. This resonates in the heart of the Earth. We know because we are as affected. We see in our horns. A proverb says that the people in time of peace, not flaunted his devotion to the gods. In times of rebellion, it is adorned with ornaments rituals to gain power. And finally, he loses everything ... We know well that nobody can do the job for us, and we oiled our own practice, do not waste the effort. When this is well integrated, we would have a good life, happy and aware of what it contains simple. Comes to the peaceful monastery in the mountains. Or the smell subtle coffee that one feels after taking a shower back from work ... Discipline must be assessed in order to be exploited. This is not to mortify. We need to be alone. We are in our privacy. And letting go of our expectations, our desires. We thus focus on an object of devotion is required. Devotional discipline really begins here.
This singing, place flowers, to recite prayers. To speak openly, to stretch its members.
traditional routes have the advantage of available archetypes live powered by the energy of a whole mental world for millennia. It is indeed so deep that these archetypes are part of our nature. They represent us and make us who we are. We can not escape them in this journey to the center point of our own universe .
The pagan world says there is a God and Goddess. They can be major deities of some people, while another community serve God as main deity. Fire is everywhere in the imaginal rights. It represents the consummation of the universe by his mental space unconscious. Many religions have made a fire the center of their practice (Vedic, Zoroastrianism). One can thus find a symbolic equivalent to metaphysical operations in all world cultures. These are the mathematical equivalent is called archetypes, or intercalary worlds. Intercalary worlds need to occur. These are operativity. Without matter, without foundations, without incarnation, not magic.
devotional discipline working relationship with our worlds dividers.
Each person who visited a few days the earth Aleyrac have noticed the presence of many sacred places. We are not in the world without form, in a kind of metaphysical-spiritual dialectics devoid of reality. We have a miraculous fountain, a black Madonna, a celestial wolf, a majestic deer, a tree with vows, a central fire, a standing stone, places where the wind blows and others where it never blows. Decades of practice have enabled us to get in touch with mythology nature of this Earth. Meetings and open crosses also allowed us to get in touch with distant mythologies, and link them with those of our Earth by the force of our own representations, and their contact with the Other World . From the outside, we seem almost superstitious! In fact, we just feel free to practice and experiment. We feel free to browse our own Way. One of the subtle richness of the Way of the Dragon, the Earth has passed.
But this deer, I saw in my dreams. The Goddess of nature so peaceful (dormant?) And informed the day, seemed frightening and vivid night. My nightmares materialize in the shadows, the spirits of nature seem to mock me. I am a man of the cities. I feel uncomfortable. The practice of Earth Aleyrac is connected to our contact with nature. We can make a cult to a living earth. For simplicity and freshness that it brings. This wind of change that we offer. That is how pagan cultures. Every place is during a practice which occurs some deity. We adopted this vision through our simple contact. Honesty. We continued this way for generations, collective, and explored different facets of the Dragon. Night on the land revealed to many of us, terrible secrets.
is the aspect of the combined Nature and Night comes into resonance with metaphysical principles. With a spiritual technicality. These links so strong between ordinary life and high spiritual planes have been heavily exploited in the pagan cultures, such as witchcraft and Tantra in India. We are not monks, although the place can act as a monastery. We have no specific prohibitions. We think witches because we are free.
gestures of devotion and sacrifice were often experienced on this earth. I know my brothers are gathered and prayed hard with the tree wishes. I know the dimension of cardiac intense that a particular place could awaken some. A passionate relationship with nature is possible in this particular temple. A gesture is to put a stone at his feet. Another auspicious act is to make a stone with a hole here. But already at this early stage of "devotional discipline, different schools will appear. Some argue that we should keep a stone holes and never give. Others suggest that we can offer. So said that the folk tradition? A nice way of pointing mechanism. To see the technicality of the practice, the evolution of a worship.
Again, we are more technicians than theoreticians.
I also know that we love to meditate under a tree that some of us called the Bodhi tree . We respect the sitting meditation at the highest point. I think that devotion manifests itself as much to the priory. We celebrate rites. We love the look that beneficent Nature and Notre Dame Brune focus on what we do. I know that his physical contact has been experienced by some highly nocturnal in its appearance.
But in my experience, where the devotion has always shown most strongly is in our reciprocal links. We have this thirst for human endeavor in which Lane speaks to us. We have the privilege of recognizing the other as a Dragon. And so for my part, I could enter on the Path of Yoga Guru . Tantric form of traditional discipline.
