The Eternal Secret of the Ages: Learning how to be Alone

"Alone" both physically & mentally:
For 3 days remain totally alone (preferably in nature)– no people, no family, no lovers, no close friends, no drugs or alcohol, no meat, no telephone calls, NO TV!, no radio, no internet or computer, no newspapers or magazines, etc. Unplug! ~Watch how desperate we become to feed the Ego~ This is the real Armageddon–the one that rages within!

The Real Armageddon: Learning how to be Alone!

"...at first seems like a poison but as it matures is like Elixir, the happiness which springs from the serenity of one's own Spirit." - Bhagavad Gita

The Grand Old Love of the World

I had this t-shirt for years before I found the following written inside:


   This is an Offering
  Let go
  Surrender into the radiant desert of detachment
        as you are guided seamlessly into the realization of self
  Becoming strength and compassion
  Becoming the leader of your own mystical ordinary life
  Becoming the change you want to see in the world
  You are blessed with the incredible responsibility of choice
        and the option of how you experience those choices
   This is an offering
   Go with gratitude 
   Remembering humbly what has been laid before you
   Recognizing the manifestation of your imagination
   Embracing the passion that is your birthright
   Know thyself
         as all exists within
         and all reflects around
   The time of the lone wolf is over
   Gather yourselves
   Remove struggle from your vocabulary
   For we are the ones we've been waiting for

SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY: (No Limit) - "No established religion, new-age spirituality, or non-theistic philosophy is not for consideration; each one is sacred and approached with respect, but everything is fair-game to question.
