The Voice of the Tao

Recently, a friend who for many years studied and practiced Vedic spiritual traditions, and who knows that one of my shifus (spiritual fathers) is Lord Shiva, lent me a book. He said... "This isn't about the 'popular' understanding of Shiva...this is the 'real stuff '."

I was very grateful to receive the book, as I truly didn't have much knowledge of this holy being, and I began reading it that evening.

In my spiritual journey, I have also felt a deep affinity for the Vedic, as well as the Celtic and First Nations traditions-- particularly the chants, which are the soul's voice of these traditions, connecting my own soul closely to them, and to the Creator through them.

As I began to immerse myself in the book, I soon began to understand the Shiva (Siva) principle is the Tao principle. As the book title states: Nothing Exists That is Not Siva. This understanding opened my heart so much more widely in gratitude to Master Sha for his sacred Tao teachings, and for the priceless gift and honour of having of Lord Shiva as one of my shifus, to help me understand more deeply, and to guide me on the Tao journey.

Today I received a flow from Lord Shiva to the question: What soul blockages prevent me from studying and learning and experiencing the Tao in this lifetime? How can I transform these to love and light?

Here is that flow:

"My dear beloved daughter, this is Lord Shiva speaking, 

The soul blockages which prevent you from studying and learning experiencing the Tao in this lifetime are mental. You have always recognized the judgmental nature of your mind. This is how the darkness creates an imbalance in a discerning mind. 

A discerning mind is required to travel forward on your spiritual journey through life, but when discernment is invaded by the ego-- by negativity of any kind, it becomes a judgmental mind, and these judgments encase the mind, and hold the thought process firm in structures which will not allow you to go down the path to enlightenment. 

You must learn to remove these structures. You must practice to dissolve these structures. The way to do this is through Tao practices. This is why these blockages are so strong for you at this time, because to remove them would mean that you would rapidly flow into being more fully aligned with the Tao in each aspect of your life. 

And so the karma is strong because of this time into which you have incarnated, and your role in it. Every effort is being made to restrict you from further progress forward. You must therefore commit to make more effort, knowing now that this restrictive structuring is in place. Chip away at it with Tao Light. Chip away with the Tao practices. Fill your body, your soul, your mind with Tao Light by chanting the Tao chants, following the Tao, and being aligned with the Tao in every moment. 

You must also recognize that a part of these structures are a prejudice, a judgment about the Tao teachings as they are being presented to you in this lifetime. You are far more comfortable in the Vedic, or First Nations, or Druidic traditions, through which you spent many lifetimes working with the Tao. These ways of connecting and aligning with the Tao are more familiar to your soul and you have created mental preconceptions and prejudices which prevent you from opening your heart more to the current teachings. Let go of all mental precepts and relax your soul and your heart into the true flow of life, which actually has no name, but only IS. You know that place well, and it is your heart and soul's greatest desire to be there. Let go and flow. HAO."

Thank you Master Sha, Thank you Lord Shiva.
