Madison Meadows Spiritual Blog: A Journey into Mysticism, Dreams, Twin Flames, & Healing

Sometimes you have to abandon everything you know- everything you learned.  When you abandon yourself your left with no self.  Self is nonexistent.  The I dissolves into the Sea of One.  No  I has ever wanted to return to its earlier existence.  The Sea of One is the allness of life.  It slips through your fingers and can't be measured.  Yet each drop is separate- a reflection of the One.  Within each human being is a drop of the sea.  If you forget this your life is nothing.

The human eye is one place where the intensity of human presence becomes uniquely focused and available. The universe finds its deepest reflection and belonging in the human eye. When it opens, it shows that others and the world are outside of us. When you gaze at something, you bring it inside of you. To look at something that can gaze back at you can heal your eyes and deepen your sense of vision. Vision is central to your presence and creativity. There is great beauty to behold in this world when you have a loving eye. To the fearful eye, all is threatening. When you look toward the world in a fearful way, all you see are things that can damage and threaten you. To the greedy eye, everything can be possessed. A greedy person can never enjoy what they have because they are always haunted by that which they do not yet possess. To the judgemental eye, everything is closed in definitive frames. It always excluding and separating, and therefore it never sees in a compass...

Where do my eyes gaze? If not on your face then a waste. The fancy devices of this age occupy our mind and personal space. Where is intimacy- between the I and the eye that sees? It clearly depends on what your filling up your heart to be. If not a wave, a rock, a sunset, or a tree then there is no realness in it you see. Desolation, loneliness, fear, and even rage- will occupy a man's heart whom fills it with empty things. Where do my eyes gaze? If not on your face then this life a waste.

From Journal Entry 2/26/2012 I'm lying in bed next to my husband.  I feel a dark presence in the room.  I am scared and try to wake up my husband.  This thing then cuts my foot in two places.  I see blood dripping on the floor.  My husband is now awake but in an unconscious state.  His eyes are open but he's not responding.  I then ask for God's help.  The dark presence laughs and says it delights in my pain.  I then pour out my love for Christ and say with passion, "God if this is your will so be it.  I too will suffer like your son Jesus."  I asked God to forgive the dark spirit and that I to love this spirit. I am crying and begging God for his mercy. Over the years I have had the reoccurring dream theme of being tortured.  This was the first time my action inside the dream was different.  I consciously made the distinction of the dark presence as also being a part of God's will. I felt love for it even as it ...

The Lovers vanished days collect into a pool of mystery. Time fades light away. Darkness blankets the soul. Memories creep out at the dawn of new beginnings. They weave themselves into the fabric of the heart. Pain, sorrow, loss, joy, love, ecstasy, loneliness tie the soul's existence together. The Lovers live to create this masterpiece.  Out of selflessness they define themselves by this eternal bond. Many seasons come and go. This is the circle of love.

The burning desire of this heart only speaks with these eyes Only you know loves mystery that lies behind So take my hand as you please Lead me through loves mysteries Tear down these walls that contain my heart And be with me where no seasons are

When we look at our internal experiences, the past is no longer there and the future has not yet come.  There is only the present.  The principle of interdependent origination in relation to cause and effect states that nothing can come about without the corresponding causes and conditions.  The very cause which brings about the effects must itself have a cause.  For a positive outcome, one needs to appreciate the interconnectedness of all events and phenomena.

There is a space inside of me that is empty.  Having found you only to let you go again.  My fullness I see in the reflection of your eyes.  When your absent the emptiness is my companion.

In order to practice genuine compassion or altruism, we need tolerance.  Without tolerance, it is impossible to practice.  Anger and hatred are the greatest obstacles to compassion and love.  To minimize anger and hatred, tolerance is the key factor.  In order to practice tolerance we need an enemy.  Because of our enemy's actions we get the opportunity to practice tolerance.
