Tosha Silver's Meditation
Tosha Silver is a gifted psychic reader and spiritual counselor who lives in the Bay area. Her recent newsletter contained the following beautiful reflection which I think is especially appropriate at this time of need.
MAKE THE GOD OF YOUR HEART YOUR INTIMATE COMPANION
Over the years of giving thousands of readings, this topic always moved me the most. I would read amazing person after person, some of whom had spent many years on one spiritual path or another, who still didn't feel a deep relationship to the inner God. In Sanskrit this inner, chosen Lord is called the Ishvara Devata. Engaging with it fully means never needing to rely on your own strength again.
In a culture which is always giving us one external authority after another, it's incredible to become anchored in the inner authority.
Alot of you know me. I'm a pragmatic mystic. You can have profound meditation experiences till your hair catches on fire, but until the inner God is also included the practicalities of your daily life, there is some separation and aloneness. (In the upcoming workshop) We'll use down-to-earth techniques for allowing the inner Lord to engage in every decision, every action, every problem. No need to feel alone again.
Tosha will be giving a workshop on this topic later in November. You can read more at her website:
