In March, 2017 we welcomed Jérémy from France for a Meditation Weekend. He stayed for an immersion and then returned for a 2nd immersion. This is his open letter:
Dear Sisters, Dear Brothers,
There is what they call a planet inside me, in this earth spaceship, in the middle of a continent, near the sea there is a bright and white spot of light that you can see from space and beyond, so white that it will burn your eyes and who you think you are.
There you will find one of the last tribe, the whitest of this Yuga. I have seen them, I have shared meals, laugh, smile with them and of course I have, and still am sharing presence with all of them.
All together, each one of them at his own manner emanates so much light, so much love that the mountain they live on as been called Arunachala the mountain of light. You can feel it from miles around.
From the grace that all of you are shining, I remembered who I was, from this unique point of view, I have seen the sacrifices and the admirable work that you all are doing as one.
Feeling the uniqueness of your souls, the true meaning of this game they called life as been brought to my eyes.
I have no words to express my gratitude for what you are all doing, sharing this love while waiting for nothing in return. You are this love and I can feel it vibrating around.
You who are doubting, resisting inside, stop now! Open your eyes, turn on, tune in and fill your heart with this never-ending love and infinite gratitude I feel for you.
From Ashes to Ashes What is the fate of the hero if not the journey of the soul toward love, the lost beloved.
What as been lost can be retrieved, but what is gained cannot be lost again. Life is empty of meaning for the one who don’t know the meaning of emptiness.
Love is the state of peace where there is no more lack, where there is no more need, everything being perfect as it is, you don’t want anything else, you are the silent bliss.
We have been looking for this everywhere outside, but love emanates from the heart, the center of the universe that is the silent presence of god inside.
The character never existed. Breathing is happening naturally so is seeing, hearing, walking, doing and thinking. Everything is happening by itself, there is no doer and never was, the body creates and morphs by itself like the plants, the trees, the sea, all are happening by grace, the flow of the life force.
Dreaming is happening and in dreaming, there is just witnessing, there is no one, no false self that witness, there is just witnessing.
Control is an illusion, like a wave trying to move her own way. There is no control, no controller.
The intelligent life force is the source of everything, mind and matter but awareness is aware of all of this, who is aware of awareness?
There is only reality, beyond any concepts, ideas and words. I is this flow of life that is running the show, in the wind, in the world, in every animal and human bodies. Everything is made by and from this beloved intelligent energy that we are.
The body the vehicle, like every other thing is dust and will be transformed into dust again, from ashes to ashes.
I’m the one who created this world of wonders, painting patterns on each animal, on each bird feather, shaping the waterfall and the cauliflowers.
I’m life moving by itself, I’m nature, I’m the source of the entire universe, and when I close my eyes everything disappears again.
There is no other, there is no I, there is just who you really are.
I never came, I never left, because I never was. But I will be back.
Namaste
