A Direction is Being Revealed

Beloved friends,

I have been in prayer about my Calling, and the next step has been revealed - it feels like a Gift from God. It involves residing at the Monastery and having a ‘mystical community’ come together, beginning late fall.

When I sit with this in prayer, it feels like an invisible path opening up… a feeling and awareness of light… infused with deep peace… which then becomes the path of light to the light.

It feels completely present, anchored right Here, while at the same time, there is a Knowing that it leads to God. That unmistakable Knowing of what this is all for.

To be at the Monastery, where there is one singular, deep purpose held, abiding with those who share the desire to awaken, is a Gift beyond measure. I feel such a joy in my heart!!!

“Peace is joy at rest, Joy is rest at play”. This is how it feels!

Joyful. Reverent. Nurturing awareness of the holy instant to keep it shining in awareness. This one Present Goal that fulfills all desires, all prayers of the Heart. It feels deeply nurturing for our hearts and mind.

There is a wonder in seeing each day reveal itself, of tuning into the Spirit’s Flow and Guidance, and learning over and over again that God's will for us is perfect happiness. This is our natural state of mind, and state of being, and becomes consistent and unwavering through our dedication to mind-training and internal listening. Oh don’t we all look forward to being completely free of all scraps of self-doubt, unworthiness, and hesitation!

And so, our path at the Monastery involves open communication, and collaborations through which the Guidance of the Spirit is revealed and strengthened within our mind, to keep showing us the Way, what is truly helpful, and Who we truly are.

I welcome discovering who is to come and reside together throughout the winter. And seeing how shorter stays and retreats will unfold to host beloveds desiring to come.

To be held in this depth of one purpose, surrounded by the vast open spaciousness in the silence of the canyon reflects the deepest prayer of our Heart - to “Be still, and know that I am God”. With love and deep, deep gratitude, Kirsten To see pictures and get a feeling for the Monastery and what is happening there now during the summer, visit www.miracles-monastery.org

Show Me...

Today was spent in prayer. It is usually active outdoors with happy Mexicans everywhere, but today was a hushed reflection of a prayerful state of mind. I feel the light within my Heart, lighting up...

Show me the Way, God

Show me the Way, Heart of Mine

Show me the Path of Light... from my Heart to Yours

Here... Now...

Knowing any next step to stay with You - to shine Your light, is revealed within this Light...

Being our Heart

I understand why Paramahansa Yogananda was drawn to lake Chapala for a time of deep prayer and contemplation about his Calling (in the 1929).

Thank You God...

Ebbs and Flows

I just spent 3 months in Utah, which was mostly a time of solitude. I would go out into the forest, into the hills, or alongside the canal, and was reminded of God by the flowing rivers, the light on the water, sunsets, soaring birds, every cloudless vast sky and cloud-filled sky. After almost two years of extensive traveling and being so activated with those I was with, this phase took a moment to accept. But once it was fully accepted, each day had a Gift... spaciousness... timelessness...

And then it was time for a shift... my heart was calling to join and extend in a different way...

On a phone call with my friend Suzanne, the invitation arose to come to Ajijic, with a joyful offer to stay in Rita's apartment while she is away. I truly don't know anything other than to trust, accept, and follow what supports my heart to open... allowing the continual dissolution into the light...

Immediately after this shift was clear, I found myself writing about mysticism, and designing a Mysticism page on my website as a place to keep sharing the Presence that inspires so deeply. This kind of a sign is everything to me. Expansion, openness, Presence... Once I was on the plane I fell into a deep peace... ever more pulled into awareness of dreaming - especially with such a movie-like dreamscape filled with guidelines and regulations for ‘safety’. It felt sweet, to see all of the care for making everyone feel safe… It truly is all the playing out of ideas. Thank God we know we are an Idea in the Mind of God - a Thought of Love, of Spirit, of Joy! And when we are in touch with Who we Are, and the simplicity of this being Everything, we are invulnerable - untouched by the thought of separation from Truth - which appears in so many different ways. The depth has continued... it feels like being anchored into God... while the next wave swells... anchored so that I don't get swept away… as there is a swirl here… but remain deeply present... watching, welcoming, and allowing what is to come in the next moment...

The holy encounters so far have involved tears of recognition and gratitude… simply meeting in the moment... as miracles happen. The malecon (lakeside boardwalk and paths) outside my front doorstep opened the day I arrived, having been closed for many weeks - so yet again I can walk and sit by the water. Thank you God... it feels brand new... as a reflection of mind renewed... ever more aware that it is all mind… reflections of mind.

There is a Jesus candle in front of me, and a meditating buddha looking out across the lake a short walk away 🥰

Each phase of the journey has a deep healing value when we fully appreciate it for exactly what it is - no more, no less - without comparing it to other phases or allowing limited thinking to cover it with veils of interpretation. Phases bring us face to face with exactly what we are Calling to see and transcend, and, like all healing moments, they are temporary.

In deep gratitude for what does not change, for that which is carrying us, surrounding us always, inviting us to be in the Light.
