Commit
Commitment is an act not a word. Anon
This weekend I embarked on a three year journey of personal development and mastery.
Oscar Wilde said: The aim of life is self-development. To realize one’s nature perfectly – that is what each of us is here for.
Kundalini level 3 is DEFINITELY NOT for the faint of heart. It requires integrity, commitment and dedication and consists of three pillars:
We develop our meditative mind with 31 minutes of daily practice for 1000 days. Miss a day and start over from zero. It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. Confucious
31 minutes will balance your 31 tattvas, your chakras and ethereal body. In 1000 days you will master the new consciousness, essentially you ‘become it’.
One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others. Lewis Carroll. Seva is the second pillar. We commit to undertake a community project embodying KRI teachings. This may take many forms, What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. Jane Goddall
Spiritual maturity is a journey of self discovery and mastery. However, Alone we can do little, together we can do so much. Helen Keller. We find support in a small peer group creating space for reflection, feedback and authentic discourse.
There is no exam, no curriculum or certificate of achievement. It is up to my peers to decide if my efforts qualify for completion.
What would ever possess me to embark on such a challenge?
I owe my current life and purpose to one happenstance meeting on the street in HK in 2012 where a friend suggested I try kundalini yoga. That led to one class followed a few weeks later by attending teacher training in New Mexico where I had my first gong bath. That led to purchasing my first gong and the rest is history. Curiosity and continuous development led to completing Level 2 training. The next step is personal mastery rather than the accumulation of knowledge. I registered before COVID and the class started last weekend. The thought of the challenges ahead is daunting. But
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal
It is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill
