i tell those who ask me : When i set there the waves of restless thoughts settle down. The breath slows down. The heart slows down. At times you come in contact with higher dimensions. This physical reality we are in is only one reality. There are other realities. People explore the physical realities but some day most people will be exploring the inner dimensions of being. They will find there is much much more to being then what we experience with the 5 senses. We are very limited in this physical reality but in the inner realms of consciousness we are limitless. The challenge is that very few people will give the time to exploring and settling the thoughts and quieting the outer world to find their true nature within and the infinite possibilities that the inner life reveals.
Once we begin to find this joy within and develop and explore our souls we find others with the same aspirations and we develop friendship with one another and share our experiences. Suddenly our outer world also changes. But we must befriend our soul soldiers from the past to be able to protect us from the constant intrusion of the outer world that sucks us back into confusion and restless activity. Our own preconcieved ideas about those around us and our own habits and expectations and notions keep us trapped in our own prison of consciousness. Often we find old friends just do not resonate with us any more because they do not understand our present consciousness. That is why new ones come into our life.
