Nice in there? Open the Door and Find Out.

It is really nice in there.

Nice in where?

Inside you. 

Huh?

Do you believe what the ancient rishis, those  who spent most of their lives looking inward, taught...that it is really nice inside us? 

It certainly doesn't always seem nice out there does it? So why would it be nice, in here? And at the level we dare to look at inside us, it doesn't feel so good, does it?  The level we stop at in our sporadic inner reflections is usually very uncomfortable.  We stop at the crowded part of the closet when we even dare to peek at what is inside us.  Everything is piled up in there at that level. When we open the door to glance inside (or to throw something else in there) everything comes spilling out on top of us. Not fun!  We then in a panic begin kicking all the stuff back in so we can slam the door on it again.  We want to keep that door shut.

We prefer the closed door, so much so  we decorate it with whatever we can find out there to make it as appealing as possible. The outside of the door is what we let others see. It becomes who we think we are. Every now and again something lovely from inside seeps out from the cracks and we feel good...thinking it is the nicely decorated door and everything out here that is making us feel good.  But it isn't. 

Inside, behind all that crammed stuff that keeps coming up and out is a beautiful energy system called Chit Shakti....and it wants nothing more than to come into our conscious awareness and be our daily experience.  It is joy, bliss, peace, love.  It is beautiful.  

Why don't we feel it?  

We do not feel it because we have a pile of stored junk in the way...our samskaras: emotional energy and resistance that we did not process through. It is blocking this energy that is meant to flow, creating a turbulent pile of mixed up clutter and swirling energy ( emotional disturbance). So when we open the door, for whatver reason, that is all we see and feel...the chaotic disturbance of our stored junk. Who wants to look at that?  Who wants to feel that? 

It is easier to look at the back of the closed door, painting and decorating  it to our liking. Hmm!

Do you want to learn what the rishis learned? That it is actually nice in here? 

Open the door that is in the way. Let that stuff in your piles come out.  You see there is an energy behind the mess you made...a bright light that cannot be contained by any closet walls. This energy is meant to flow forward (up) and it will. It will push against your blockages ...pushing them  towards and against the closet door. The energy behind it will push it all out...if...if you open the door.  The energy behind will make its way through, clearing all the stuff away that is in its way..if...if you don't close the door on it.  It will clean out the closet for you...if, if you let it.  But the door has to be open.  You have to get out of the way.

It's scary, I know. It won't be nice having all this stored stuff landing on you.  Most of it was stored in pain so it will come out in pain.You don't don't have to worry, though,  about being buried alive underneath it.  It will only come out bit by bit, naturally, without any effort from you...if, if you keep the door open and let it. And, of course, if you don't put more stuff in on top of it. 

The energy behind it just wants to be free. That's all. It just wants you to experience it...or...I should say... it wants to experience itself through you. Let it.

What about the pretty door I put so much time and effort into decorating and painting? 

It's just a door. It is just something in the way. Whether you know it or not, what you truly want is inside you. What is inside is much nicer  than your door or what is on this side of it could ever be. 

Open the door and keep it open so you can find out for yourself. 

 

All is well.
