"Any mistake, even those of centuries-long duration, can be changed by simply choosing again for the Truth. Perfection patiently awaits all humansÂ’ simple choice to flow with the ascending currents of Natural Law."
The secret to success in any area of human concern is really no secret at all. It is so obvious: whenever you whole-heartedly focus your attention, you will progress. The master key in that sentence is "whole-heartedly."
Half-heartedly doesnÂ’t work. Neither does 99.9%-heartedly. Wherever there is a crack in commitment, then doubt, mistakes and failure rush in. Whole means, "complete, entire, with every fiber of oneÂ’s being dedicated to the goal."
That works.
When one is 100% complete, the almighty forces of Nature align behind one to bring success in countless unforeseen ways.
Anytime we think the problem is somehow "out there," we have missed the essential point of human life. All of our experience, all of our creation comes from inside, from our heart. To change the outer world is impossible without first changing the inner world.
As Thoreau put it, "For every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil, there is one striking at the root." The power of a life that stems from inner strength is incomparable. Life dedicated to external solutions will lead to ever-increasing frustration as one is disappointed, again and again, with all the noble efforts to change the outer world. The outer world has a certain wonderful disdain for the attempts of the human to change it, if the human is not coming from the place of whole-heartedness.
It is not difficult to become whole-hearted. It simply takes a reversal of the typical direction of awareness.
From birth, we have been trained to use our senses in an outward direction. This was necessary for survival and has served us well. We needed to learn to identify what nourished us. We needed to know what was safe, and what was not.
But actually, it is easier to go inside than it is to use the senses in an outward direction. It is just that the average person has never been trained to take the attention inward. Too bad, because it is precisely by taking the attention inward that one learns to be whole-hearted.
The IshayasÂ’ Ascension process is the most effortless means available in the world today to train the mind to move gently inward. No effort is required in order to Ascend.
None. Zilch. Nada.
In fact, the single most common mistake among individuals new to the practice is that they try to do it. They try and try and try and it doesnÂ’t work and so they stop Ascending. A great tragedy, that, and all based upon the simple misunderstanding that it involves effort to Ascend.
As one moves gently inward, several remarkable things begin to happen. First, the body settles down to very deep rest, deeper than that of sleep at night. This allows deep stresses and strains to be released from the physiology.
Second, the mind starts erasing the old grooves of doubt, of limitation, of fear, of self-destructive behavior patterns. This is true because the inward movement of the mind takes one to greater levels of subtlety that automatically start erasing the boundaries of limits.
Third, joy and peace start spontaneously developing in the life, freeing oneÂ’s heart from the painful shrouds of past experience. Life begins to be lived in innocence and unconditional love.
The life of every person is sacred. The revelation of that sacredness is often revealed by a person's contribution to humanity. In many cases, that contribution is only revealed after death. Maharishi Sadashiva Isham (MSI) was such an individual. MSI's life was punctuated by the desire to know. His search was not for knowledge but for Truth. Truth was most important to him and he shared that Truth in total commitment to healing the world. The message of his life -- that perfection on Earth is not only possible but imminent -- is gathering momentum and manifesting in the rapid growth of consciousness seen in all who practice the simple techniques of the Ishayas.
