The Mystery School


The Mystery School

Life and the purpose of being has been defined in ancient yoga writings as
sat-chit-ananda, translated as Truth-Consciousness-Bliss.

In my decades long studentship of this understanding I have found a community that embodies this quest and have been a member of The Mystery School for a New Paradigm Members Circle for well over a year.  I appreciate the clarity of Jeff Carreira’s writings, teachings, and leadership.  You can learn more at this link  -
Awakened Consciousness - https://jeffcarreira.com/

Here are parts of two Mystery School Members Circle weekly postings by Jeff  in September.
Each week Jeff has a five minute teaching video and twenty minute guided meditation working with the suggested thought or theme for that week.  Take a moment now and open your heart and mind.  Release old patterns of relating and see what will arise. What is speaking and can you hear it?

What Consciousness Do You Want to Live In?
Contemplations

“If you don’t change direction, you’ll end up where you’re headed.” ~ Chinese proverb.

-  Where do you want to be in ten years?

-  What are your deepest values and deepest desires?

-  What is your highest attainable state of consciousness? Is that where you would like to be living from?

-  Where would you live? What would you be doing? Who would you be spending your time with?

-  How would you need to rearrange your life circumstances to hold your vision?

A Life Connected to the Source of Consciousness - September 15, 2019

In this week’s video Jeff states that spiritual life is not about having spiritual experiences, or being on retreat. It is about surrendering to the mysterious wisdom and love that is the core essence of the universe and ourselves. In this way we usher in a new paradigm for humanity.
~~~  

The Members Circle provides ongoing guidance and support for Artists of Possibility who want to share their deepest wisdom and live a vibrant and profoundly inspired spiritual life.

If that resonates with come join in the movement.

“We are not going to create a new paradigm the way other things are created.
The best thing we can do is engage with each other around the things that capture our imagination and move our heart.”

We must become porous vessels for inspired perspectives and inspired ideas and let all the exchange and the interaction and growth generate a kind of creative friction that will allow something to emerge between us that none of us could imagine.

The Flow of Stillness

          The Flow of Stillness

Some say the goal is transformation.
But from what and to what when you already are perfect?

Consider for a moment.
Are you living life or is life living through you?

If life is living through you what is your path?
How do you find your path and mindfully say yes to the journey?

We are all a work in process and awareness. Change is the only given. 
Forget progress.  Forget judging and analyzing. Come into clear sensing.

Touch into both the convergent and divergent, the context and contents.
Each has its purpose.  Each has a referencing for us to touch into.

Our evolving is designed on being the artist of our own growth and blossoming. .
Seeing, listening, touching into, acting and then finding stillness to do it all again.

We craft self appreciation and discernment.
We listen to our inner calling and lean into the blossoming.

Love is the energy that propels us to do beneficial good in the world,
  to find and create beauty, to observe with wonder the mystery.

Gratitude is the base, the strong platform, to grow this action.

Adopt this morning mantra practice: Repeat the lines out loud three times –
  May I be safe. / May I be well. / May I know piece.

Now give this blessing to others around you, near and far.  
  May you be safe. / May you be well. / May you know piece.

Come now and sit with me for awhile in the flow of stillness.
