“When people speak of ‘being on the path’ or of life as a ‘journey,’ they are referring to the constant vigil required to train the Conscious Mind to listen to the lessons of the Higher Self, which because of the interference of the chatter box, elude us at times. – Susan Jeffers. I hope to remind us all of these lessons on the path.
I have been a seeker on the path for many a year. I have read some truly inspiring books and studied under brilliant and advanced teachers. And I have written many, many words on these topics.
My length of time on the road and all the studying I’ve done does not mean I don’t stumble on the path. But I have figured out how to use that to my advantage. I have learned that life does not progress in a straight line. It’s far more circular with issues coming back around as you move along this path. Sometimes it seems to get you somewhere, others it feels like you’re just meandering here and there. I like to take a break now and then to take a look at it.
Another lesson I’ve learned is that the answers we need, all of us, are always, right there in front of us in everyday life. Staring us in the face. At times, all we fail to do is notice.
These essays are the story of the times I have stumbled and stopped to take a look. My particular bent on what’s happened, coming out of a deep well of study, lessons learned and a keen awareness.
My dedication to this Blog continues on. I hope to be more focused from here on out, since I have pulled some of the sidelines that cropped up in times past at this Blog. Now it’s All Spirit, all the time!

Hi Libby,
Can you please highlight on your words
“Observations on the Spiritual Refractions in Everyday Life”
I have some doubts on your above statement; can you please clarify?
– What is the source of these refractions which are “spiritual” ?
– What is the source of “spiritual” as you define it in that sentence?
– Do you use the word “spiritual” in a relative or Absolute context or in the context of sense-gratification based life as on planet earth?
– What is the summum bonum of Alexandra Coulter’s collective messages?
Sincerely;
SriGuru

Dear SriGuru,
I know, I write a lot about Libby Gill, but my name is Alexandra.
I want to thank you for your most thoughtful questions. Under any name, I love answering questions like these. Please see my blog today, titled “Spiritual Refractions,” for my responses. I would love for you to keep in touch. And I hope you enjoy reading my observations on this blog.
Warm wishes,
Alexandra

Miss Alexandra,
Thanks for your response. Evocative writing from you. Yes, your writings are based on your Higher Consciousness and realization.
If you have not checked this out; I would request you to check out : “Srimad Bhagavatam” the Highest level of complete Supreme realization”. Very Esoteric, superb cycles of ontological (spiritual) escalation. Sounds parochial, but the realization it offers is non-sectarian and Supreme. Beats everything you would want to know, especially history of planet earth from the spiritual world point of view. Of course I do not promote any theology, this is for those who want to self-realize and advance their own consciousness for themselves.
Once you check that out; you would realize it is not sectarian, but blissful, since spiritual energy is eternally blissful, unlike sense gratification that is temporary happiness.
All incarnations discussed there: (many lifetimes of effort invested here)
Free site: http://www.causelessmercy.com
The incarnation of Yeshuah at a Higher Consciousness of Higher Spiritual ontology is discussed elsewhere…
Am sure you would be aware of the super-exponential changes coming on planet earth in the next 900 days. We know that from ages ago and are prepared for it. (The change in sub-duration for the next 10,000 years – 2012 adding the next 10,000 until next change comes)

I noticed that you said you were well-read, but open to learning more. I, too, am very well read in the area of personal growth books. Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Adyashanti, Caroline Myss, and the list goes on. Anyway, I thought I would make a suggestion that I came across recently and one that I deem “the most important book I have ever read.” The reason that I feel this way is that it helps to integrate so many things that have happened through history that, as a society, we take for granted regarding the way we think about things. It really addresses some underlying paradigms that, seemingly, need to be changed. The book is by Bruce Lipton (and is published by Louise Hay’s pubisher: Hay House) called:
Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (and a Way to Get There from Here)
~~
Anyway, do with it what you wish. 🙂

With Love and Gratitude,

Love your site. Maybe you can do an entire blog and talking negative sayings and turning them into positive ones. For example, I like to say instead of “killing two birds with one stone” turn it around to say “feeding two birds with one seed.” 🙂
Blessings

We do not speculate. Vedas are not religion. Nor it is spirituality. It is the Highest Ontological system of consciousness. Dr. Deepak Chopra uses a small component of it and teaches it in a manner that is understood by those who cannot understand this. (And he’s highly appreciated, his high fees are a by-product). How do I know the big picture of what he teaches? I’ve been doing mantra-yoga (deep meditation) since the age of 7, which lifts to you to the level of Yeshuah-consciousness directly. Meditation is higher than prayer and is called Dhyana-Yoga. We follow a higher practice, we never compel, never convert. People get attracted bv love, devotion, peace, affection, bliss etc which are symptoms of Higher Consciousness using the methods of Bhakti Yoga. We appreciate all of religion’s possibilities, honor it, but do not follow it as it cannot match the gifts and internal bliss of the advanced Yoga systems. I speak from experience.
A statement of research that I post is carefully selected and I repeat The Absolute Truth of the Vedas (eternal, not subject to changes on earth). I do not concoct.
The Vedas discuss what happens in this segment of 312 trillion earth-scale years. So just because Western society or modern Biblical knowledge sez that intelligence did not exist before 3012 B.C – does not mean it did not.
If there is a positive future for planet Earth (especially when change is accelerating around us) and when it outstrips our ontological acceptance – well, time will reveal soon. Change is here. It’s acclerating. No-brainer.
Wishes and regards
SriGuru

Reading your words, I can resonate with its truths to the point where it starts to sound like the state of omniscient. At that state how could a human being exist? Isn’t it our lack of understanding that provides the opportunity to experience? If so, then I feel sorry for your lack of ability to live life to its fullest. On the other hand, maybe you do have the experience of human existence that is superior to all other human lives. Now that is only a matter of perspective, isn’t it not?

I am just a writer, trying to express what I see. Do I live my life like this all the time? Absolutely not. I am just a student, sharing what I see.

Alexandra, I was at a writing residency when you wrote for Follow Your Bliss in May. Because I was a little out of the loop, I hadn’t checked out your blog. It is incredible! I think we are very, very like-minded, moreso than I can say for most people. We should talk.
I am very much looking forward to your article in the November issue of Follow Your Bliss: http://fybmag.com and I wonder if there are further ways we can collaborate.
Much love and light,
Nina

Yes, indeed, let’s talk! I am very interested in collaborating. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog. I am thrilled to be a part of Follow Your Bliss now and in the future. I noticed that we’ve read similar authors, too.
