"If you are really passionate about spiritual awakening
then spiritual discipline is most important.

For spiritual awakening to happen,
there must be that build up of Shakti
and there must be that in-your-face,
honest awareness of yourself as you are.

You see,
the moment you go for that beer,
that sexual release,
that drug, that bag of junk food,
you escape your experience
and you lose that build up
of energy that was there inside you.

The escape feels good.
It feels like a relief,
but then afterwards, that Shakti is gone
and you are left feeling empty & depressed.

So what happens when there is spiritual discipline?

When you eat a healthy diet,
are disciplined in daily meditation,
in spiritual practice and exercise
and you don't go for that drink or drug,
you don't distract yourself from this moment?

First, there is the build up
and flow of Shakti inside you.
And that is felt as a bliss or joy that is beyond any
emotion or physical experience.

It is an unconditional bliss
that breathes life into you
and awakens you out of duality.

Second, with the build up of that energy,
you are confronted with yourself
and your experience in this moment.

If you don't escape it with indulgence,
then you have no choice
but to surrender to your experience,
to really be honest about
how you find yourself to be in this moment
and to accept that;

to allow that to be so completely
that your attachment to the idea
of who you think you are
and what you know is broken

and you sink through
all of the denser levels of experience
into that which you are beyond body& mind.

You don't escape yourself,
rather you dive completely into you
as you truly are in this moment
and in that you come to find at your essence
that you are unconditional peace,
you are unconditional love.

Not as an idea,
not as an egotistical attainment,
but beyond the ego,
beyond all ideas of yourself
there is only that.

And that peace never goes away,
it can't go away
because it is what you are.

Much love,

Kip"

There are 2 main points for spiritual discipline and how it leads to spiritual wakening:

One is the build up of Shakti. If you do not have that build up of energy in your body, then the energy cannot rise and open up the higher centers in the body associated with deep meditation. Just that build up of Shakti will make you blissful. You can read below about an easy way to receive Shakti.

It will be challenging in the sense that you have to learn how to take care of it. Both in the physical sense and the awareness side. The physical sense are things like diet and exercise.

Consider what kind of diet to eat that is healthy and assists in allowing this Shakti to flow through. Notice the things that you are eating now that actually seem to weigh the body down and stop the flow of energy.

And of course exercise. You have this build up of Shakti in your body, you want to help move that energy. So exercise is most important. Find something you enjoy doing, running, swimming, lifting weights, playing tennis and do that every day. It makes a huge difference.

The other part of it is more subtle. How can you consciously allow that flow of Shakti. You learn to surrender to that flow. Whatever sensations are arising in you, just allow it to flow through.

Don't get caught up in it and don't repress it. Because stress is suppression, it is control. Unconsciously we are always resisting feeling something. So become conscious of the sensations you feel and become conscious in allowing those sensations to flow through. You will begin to feel a movement of energy through your form, a sense that you have gotten out of the way and the energy is doing what is needs to do.

The other part of spiritual discipline is facing yourself. If you do not give yourself a way to escape this moment, then you have to confront yourself. You have to become honestly aware of your experience in this moment.

You do not have to do anything about it. Do not define it, describe it or try and figure it out in any way. It is the awareness that does everything. Just by being aware of your experience in this moment and allowing that you begin to awaken to what is really here.

For example, if you notice in this moment you are grumpy and you allow that, you will begin to feel the sensation of that grumpiness, the energy that you call grumpiness will be able to move and that is felt as bliss.

This is not about telling you what you can and can't do. But rather it is becoming aware of how the whole process works and how you can assist it, how you can make it easier on you.
