A Whisper of Psychic Release | August 20, 2014
The most fascinating and perhaps most
significant of all interfaces is the one that separates yet connects the
ridiculous and the sublime. The surprisingly narrow borderline between
things holy and things profane, between prayer and laughter, between a
Leonardo chalice and Warhol soup can, between the Clear Light and the
joke, provides a zone of meaning as exhilarating as it is heretical: a
whisper of psychic release so acutely yet weirdly portentous it just
might offer a clue to the mystery of being.

It
is necessary to learn how to trust the commands that come from the
heart. The spiritual master teaches you and guides you through his or
her own intuition, but you will only learn if you are able to hear your
heart; if you are able to discern. Discernment is an attribute of the
Being, for it is a manifestation of your creative intelligence.”
