When your Treasure Chest is empty!

When your Treasure Chest is empty!


Tens of thousands of people have come through our programs dealing with Inner Mastery of their Spirit and Outer Mastery of their Reality. I had to explain the different types of students and rather than delving into the layers of programs from Beginners to Advanced, I sought a better way to navigate what can be a torrent of egoistical indignancies.

Two kinds of students came into my mind and I saw a Treasure Chest. I saw a stream of students carrying their personal Treasure Chest and as they came to us, the chests were opened and inside was empty. There was no gems nor precious stones, gold nor silver and they turned themselves away and left. I saw streams of these students filter through and some lingered hopeful, while others disappeared in a stormy silence.
Once in a while, as students would appear and when they opened their chest, a beautiful jewel could be seen lying on the bottom. It did not matter if the gem was small or large, cut or rough, polished or encrusted in dirt. None of that counted. What mattered was there was a gem and that was enough.
As teachers of teachers, we look and wait for those who arrive with a gem in their Treasure Box.
And what is the appearance of a gem like, I hear you ask?

A gem is an awareness, a consciousness which has been developed over long periods of time and through many experiences and is sometimes hard to spot. It comes with a heart which longs for something that it does not know how to recognise. It comes with a humbleness, which translates into deep power and knowingness. It comes with a hunger, which is only satiated by an awakening and knowledge.
So many, tens of thousands call in and dip a toe into the Living Waters, the well spring of ancient currents and then walk away because they are hoping to find their gems with us.
There are many teachers serving the earth in so many varied ways. Some offer paths, some offer pedestals, outer wealth and fame and others, a safe harbour. But our service is to create circumstances which form gems and it is our service to receive gems and clean, cut and polish them. We are cosmic jewellers, aware of the value of a deep spiritual calling in the inner sanctum of certain people.
Who are these people, who carry these internal gems?
That is not for us to say nor name -
They remain a mystery even to us until they cross our paths.
One in a million, our Master Tibetan would say!

    What an amazing insight and imagery. I always loved loved your imageries. It stays deeply in my memory. I can see my jewels now, and work with it. I am so grateful that our path have crossed many years ago. Thank you for not giving me one, but showing me that I had one in the box, hidden under a secret compartment I was not aware. Humbled by the insite.

  And yet everything says otherwise . . . I will begin with a story that speaks volumes. Years ago I met a dog, who upon approach, always lay down and turned onto its back to show its belly. A very submissive action, and no matter how I approached that dog, I could not get it to stand to be patted or given a treat. I tried and tried over an over, adjusting my countenance, voice and body langauge . . . but nothing seemed to work. So I gave it some deep thought and decided to change my approach, and whenever I was in its vicinity I would go and sit in a chair . . . I did not go towards it at all. It did not take long before that dog would creep over to where I was and the same as before, it would throw itself on the ground at my feet. I knew that a small aspect had changed but it was not enough. So, I adjusted my approach again and when I sat in that chair, I would place my arm on the armrest and dangle my hand just enough over the end, so that the dog could see it.  Eventually,...

The Way of the Wise Soul

  And the paths ahead! The world is weary with information and concepts thrown haphazardly out into the public domain. One would assume that with all the words spliced together to form sentences thickened with colourful meanings, there would be a clear and direct way of smoothly navigating reality. But this is duality! Reality navigation is necessary. The obstacles, options, choices, and unique skills weave a path loaded with dichotomy and adventure. The routes through this reality are designed to go anywhere imaginable and without boundaries except for the limitations within the consciousness of the dreamer. Heavens? There are many. And hells? There are even more because they are manifested by creative minds. Going on an average of daily thoughts per person, we can safely say that it is easier to imagine the worst than the best. Just look around and listen to the voices! Why would the world be in its current position? Regardless of your beliefs about politics, religions,...

An idiot waiting to blossom

AN IDIOT WAITING TO BLOSSOM Like most idiots, the flower remains tightly bound to its current course and holds stubbornly to a divine procedure. It must remain tightly bound and closed to the world for an allotted time before it is signalled to open slowly.   Inside its complex being, there is held a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances and beauty and the best kept secret . . . the ability to seed others just like it! The idiot in the same picture, does this slightly differently - Bound by time, as is the blossom, and sheltered from the world, as is the blossom, the idiot struggles and resists the natural divine procedure. From within the idiot bloom, there arises chaos and an intimate internal struggle - one half wanting to remain closed and unseen and the other, wanting immediate exposure . Both . . . unnatural. The idiot's struggle is both insecure and unsure, as well as ambitious and brave and whilst being natural ingredients for the right kin...
