The First Step on the Spiritual Path is Doing Simran - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Sant Kirpal Singh: "Simran helps  in the withdrawal of spirit-currents from the body. In Simran lies the seed that helps in the development of the soul." "Simran is  a weapon against all dangers. It acts as a  password to all  spiritual planes. It gives strength and sustenance to the body and mind during trouble and affliction, and brings the soul near the  Master." "The five holy Words are to be repeated mentally during  meditation."

"I give you this advice only because if you will do Simran while you are doing any other work, when you sit for meditation you won’t have to sit for a long time repeating the Names to bring your attention to the seat of the soul. As soon as you sit for meditation, within a few minutes you will go up." (Santji - Ajaib Singh Ji)

In Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters, simran is the art of repeating a name or names of God in one's mind (manas jap) for the purpose of Remembering the Divine -- Practicing the Presence of God. It is a way to remain spiritually awake in a world of slumber, a way to remain centered and focused instead of being thrown off-center by the influences of maya (illusion). In this Path of the Saints and Mystics this spiritual exercise of repeating or chanting spiritually charged Names of God is done not only in meditation practice, but as often as possible throughout the day as a way to spiritualize all aspects of life, inner and outer. In Sant Mat, the simran (remembrance) of worldly thoughts is controlled through the Simran (remembrance) of the Charged Names, repeated by a satsangi throughout the day and when sitting for meditation as a means of collecting the thought currents at the Third Eye Center; also used as a password to higher planes and protection from Negative Power influences. (Remembrance, Awakening to the Positive Power)

Phase 3 (2008-2013): Dans un appartement à San Francisco, Chel est en deuil pour sa meilleure amie et garde sur elle, le porte-bonheur de 2-D (qui garde le porte-bonheur de Chel). Mais elle reçoit une lettre de la part d'un mystérieux inconnu, il dit que 2-D se fait kidnappé par Murdoc et une version cybernétique de Noodle, et ils se dirigent vers une île nommée Plastic Beach.

Une énorme vague finit par couler le bateau et emporter Chel dans la mer. Échouée sur la plage, elle est récupérée par la version cybernétique de Noodle et emmené à l'infirmerie. Quelques heures plus tard, Chel se réveille de son coma à côté de Fify, elle découvre enfin Plastic Beach en explorant les lieux et retrouve 2-D, Murdoc, Russel (devenu géant) et la vraie Noodle.

Negative Capability

We were talking about Negative Capability: capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries and doubts without any irritable reaching after fact or reason. (Keats) We were talking about it in relation to creativity and being an artist. It is the ability to wait. One might be very active but within this activity, there is an openness to what may come without “any irritable reaching” for a finished…

The gifts and the giver

TIME AFTER TIME I came to your gate with raised hands, asking for more and yet more. You gave and gave, now in slow measure, now in sudden excess. I took some, and some things I let drop; some lay heavy on my hands; some I made into playthings and broke them when tired; till the wrecks and the hoard of your gifts grew immense, hiding you, and the ceaseless expectation wore my heart out. ~…

‘We can’t think our way to God. That’s why I’m willing to abandon everything I know, to love the one thing I cannot think. He can be loved, but not thought. By love, God can be embraced and held, but not by thinking.
