The Ground, the Path and the Fruit of I AM Presence

It is by the blazing light of the Sun of Great Compassion from the Hand of the Father and the Heart of the Mother, without whom we do nothing, that All is accomplished around us.

The clearing of distorted vision, the realization of the ground, the path and the fruit of perfect enlightenment, All naturally occurs in the Heart of Our Mother.

Let us consider what is happening to us all gathered here, sharing as we do in a Divine Sangha or Community, opening Our Hearts to the Teaching of the One Shared Heart in our enlightened world.

We are beginning to know the profound awareness that is within us All, the spontaneous I AM Presence or the Buddha, God-Self, the Immaculate Christ Light.

Let us consider how we might explore the ground, the path, the fruit of this awareness and what this means in our path of pathlessness.

The Ground – Portals of Presence

We have been exploring for some time the Portals of Presence, those natural energy fields that exist in the realms of Pure Being, that we easily access when we use the Sacred Breath to be silent and still.

“Breathing in I am aware of the inner Light and Love, breathing out I am aware of the inner Light and Love.”

We don’t need to think it or see it, feeling it is the key.

That way all that is left is presence and being, which is nameless, timeless and boundary-less.

As we surrender and let go into Presence we lose all distinction between the outer world and the inner world.

We simply are.

I AM Presence.

Read that again carefully…I am presence…yes we are that divine presence and we have simple access to this infinite field of information and energy and consciousness…the I AM presence, which is nameless, formless and timeless and holds the infinite potential of the stars and all universes because it is composed of the same One Light as the stars.

The Source, the Unmanifest, the Pure Light of Being, the God-Self, the Christ Consciousness is that Light and when we are still and silent and present we open ourself to this ever-present consciousness of being and allow the Light to enter.

It is not separate from us, it is in fact our very essence.

The Way the Truth and the Light, that is who I AM.

This is the Ground.

The Ground of being and pure consciousness, the ground where we and Divine Mother, Guru Rinpoche and Guan Yin, Yeshua and the Archangels are inseparable, where the True Self is realized, because it is self-arisen wisdom, with no movement of thought.

This is the true inner Guru, the Master, found in the silence and stillness of the True Self.

The Path – The Flowering of the Lotus

Every day I come across so many souls struggling.

Deep magical souls who struggle with the delusions of this existence, who find the coarse energies of this planet difficult and discover that many souls incarnating here to find the Light pull them from their path of pathlessness because of ignorance.

There are some days they may fall into deep despair and loneliness.

The struggle can seem too much of a burden in isolation.

However there are many of us here who know deeply the path of the Lotus and can help nurture and water the Heart Flower for everyone.

The Lotus in full flower allows us to be present with deep compassion for many others and hold their struggles in our heart as our own.

Then we can offer them a petal of the lotus to open their path to deep presence, the inner Master.

The Sacred Heart within us all is so very precious and so open and willing to embrace its true nature through taking time to be still and breathe.

This flowering of the Lotus could be as simple as working with the stillness within us and keeping it present throughout our day so that we do not give 100% of our energy and consciousness to the outside world but keep some of it within.

Try chanting silently a simple mantra like I AM PEACE or I AM OM throughout your day or OM MANI PADME HUM or simply AMEN to help remind you of the primordial sound and light that you truly are.

Or

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM

(pronounced “Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung”)

Then you can be conscious of Source throughout your day.

You become a bridge between God within and the world without.

Within this space of presence inside you all thoughts and actions are purified and the path is free of struggle so that the fruits of the path are also present NOW like a lotus in full flower.

This is the spontaneous Presence of silence and stillness.

This is the path of PADMA or lotus.

Fruit and Siddhis

Fruits or signs of realization appear as we walk with more certainty on the path through our waking life, in meditation and in dreams.

As I work more deeply, for example, with prayer, mantra and meditation, silence, stillness and presence, Signs of Arising such as deep unshakeable peace, windows into other worlds and Pure Realms, spontaneous healing, deep transference of joy and liberation to those who are suffering arise from the Mother of All and enlightenment occurs naturally.

En-LIGHT-enment does in fact fill you with Light.

“If your vision is clear, your whole body will be full of Light.” (Matthew 6:22)

Thankfully these extraordinary insights were left so clearly in the Great Books and Terma to guide us.

It states so very clearly that the fruit of our path is the Light, that the fruit manifests within us as our Light Body and the way.

Home is simply to practice clear vision.

Clarity of vision in all sacred texts comes through silence, stillness, prayer and meditation, through calmness from mindfulness and heartfulness, since it is when we have peace within, that love and compassion for all things manifests and from that ground clear vision or clear insight comes.

The fruit of the path is not something that occurs “later” or at some time in the future as a result of our practice.

In the ultimate expanse of pure being, which is self-arisen and comes from spontaneous presence, the primordial wisdom of self-awareness is clear and manifest NOW.

This is SIDDHI or accomplishment of Being.

Practice Being

Try it, now, simply by bringing your attention and awareness to the breath.

Know that you are breathing.

“Breathing in I am aware of the inner Light and Love, breathing out I am aware of the inner Light and Love.”

Feel that you are breathing.

“Breathing in I FEEL the inner Light and Love, breathing out I FEEL the inner Light and Love.”

Many people ask me how to go about their day keeping their attention on the stillness within while being aware of the world without.

Here is a secret.

Spend space and time within in the heart of the child.

“Truly I tell you, become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 18: 3)

Try it now.

Imagine you are 8 years old, with all the delight and freshness of seeing this world anew.

You have your whole life in front of you and you have just arrived in the room or place where you are now, reading this.

Start to stretch time and space as you breathe in the heart of your inner child.

Breathe slowly and move in slow motion as you look around.

Pick up something near you very slowly.

Look at your hands as they pick it up as if they are the petals of a lotus, new and flowering.

Breathe in a new way, slowly, long deep breaths, breathing into your lower abdomen. Look at your abdomen expanding and contracting
slowly as if it is the first time you have seen it move like this.

Become aware of the light and love that is flooding your body.

Feel it.

Imagine the Light is moving through your body like a wave, entering you from the ocean of light that surrounds you, breathing it in, filling up your body, making it radiant, luminous and bright.

Your whole body is full of Light.

The Alchemy of the Light.

This self-arisen primordial love, light and wisdom, which is the True Self, is the ground, path and fruit, and these three are not
different in nature.

They are One.

One Light.

One Love.

Guided by the Hand of the Father and the Heart of the Mother.

These are perceived directly, which is the experience of the Pure Light of Being and is HUM in the mantra of Guru Rinpoche who is the Buddha.

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM

This is the great accomplishment phase of our practice.

To know the Light of the blazing Sun of Great Compassion in every moment.

To know the Great Perfection of Being in the Now.

To know or realize the God-Self within.

The Wisdom of One Shared Heart

All the great saints and sages, Masters, gurus and angels speak with the same One Heart.

Pray single-mindedly with faith and devotion to the enlightened form of the Christs, Buddhas, Krishnas and Divine Mothers within you.
Obtain the empowerment of immortality through the sacred breath you breathe.

Liberate from birth and death through mindful heartful practice, breathing, breathing, walking, walking.

When you speak, speak with Presence and share your personal story of the Radiant Self by being a shining example of compassion and love to All.

Make enlightened connections in this world and all worlds through the Divine Romance and the Secret Mantra.

We will become endowed with the noble enlightened qualities of the Christs, Buddhas, Krishnas and Divine Mothers.

We will be led to the realm of the Pure Light of Being.

We will mingle indivisibly in the space, the Ocean of the Great Mother.

This is the ground, the path and the fruit.

We carry this sacred flame of enlightenment, the miracle of the inner fire of bliss, within us.

Let it shine.

This is the mantra of the Heart Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Sutra, the Sutra of the Blessed Mother.

ག༌ཏེ༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌སཾ༌ག༌ཏེ༌བོ༌དྷི༌སྭཱ༌ཧཱ།
Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi swāhā

Go beyond your self, go beyond what you know, go beyond the breath, empty yourself, bathe yourself in the miracle of the fire and bliss of Divine Love and the Secret Mantra and the Light within you.

Love and soul blessings
