My Dear Ones,

Are we just physical beings or are we much more? Are we destined to grow old and die or do we have a deeper identity that is beyond the physical and survives the physical? If you have asked these questions and have been seeking a greater reality then you need to take a deeper look at the human experience.

Although we are physical beings, we are so much more. The senses of our body allow us to experience the physical world. This experience can be so powerful that we may see and treat it as our reality. It is so easy to be caught up in what we see, smell, taste, touch and hear that our entire life revolves around this. We live for moments of sensational delight. When the physical experience becomes painful or miserable then we tend to question the nature of our being and seek out a greater reality. The wise person will not wait for this moment but begin to explore now.

On this journey of inner exploration we need the help of a keen intellect and a powerful observer. The intellect allows us to question and to discriminate the false from the real. We can probe the inner world by questioning: seeking to understand the Source from where thought arises and subsides, from where peace and love emerge and from where the feeling of a sacred space is felt. It can be argued by scientists that all of these are related to activities of the brain

But for those who have touched the inner space they know it as a different reality, a non-physical reality. If we can keep an open mind as we explore, then we have a chance to touch this greater reality that has been spoken about.

This greater reality is related to the experience of the Observer within us. We are not only mental beings with the ability to create thoughts, ideas and images. We can also observe ourselves do so. We can witness the entire process within us. This is an important quality as we explore the inner domain. We can observe how thoughts arise and subside. We can also see how our emotional being responds and when we get carried away. Just witnessing gives us a greater perspective to work from and helps us to manage thoughts and emotions which are so important to our well-being. Witnessing helps us to be objective and to make wiser choices. We become better listeners as we learn to observe more. We not only learn to observe others but also how we respond to them. In doing so, we learn how to respond in better ways.

Witnessing also helps us to bring the mind into silence and to experience what lies at the Source of the mind. This is where we can experience the deepest level of our being and our true reality. Meditation is a key process in developing this witness consciousness and taking us to our innermost being. Let us give attention to this important discipline.

Let us begin to seek out this greater reality as the experiences of the physical world are limiting and do not offer the most sublime experiences that are possible for us as human beings. Let us seek to understand and experience all that we are on this human journey.

Yours in loving service,
Vasudeva
