DEVOTION …TO SELF-a channeling -20.6.2004

Greetings devoted friends, greetings. And what is devotion? Towards whom or what do we acknowledge your love and dedication??

Many consider devotion to be an allegiance towards masters, gods, and perhaps higher-selves but in its ‘purest’ expression devotion is your ardor to ‘Be’…an allegiance towards your very purposes to BE. Towards those purposes which you from Spirit, for Spirit Individuated towards! And by your very ‘being’, through what you may call existences, you are expressing your complete devotion. If you understood this well, there would be nothing more to ‘add’ towards devotion.

But you will tell us to be practical and speak from your from your point of focus; so yes, from that beautiful place you are at; your devotion is your enthusiasm towards being all that you chose to ‘Be’ …do, feel, experience in what you call this life…. Thereby gathering towards and contributing to your larger and larger purposes of being. In this joyous commitment to all that you are, now… you encompass masters and gods and indeed ‘serve’ them best.

So feel free my dears, for devotion is not a narrow line of, ‘must be’, ‘must feel’, ‘must do’ towards some ‘higher ‘other’. It is being yourself…all that you consider ‘good’ or ‘bad’… Acknowledge, accept and revel in all of self and as you thus expand and transcend you are expressing complete devotion…

In closing we shall add as we always do: that what might appear ‘new’ interpretations are not making others old, wrong or redundant. Yes, from your where you are now, from your current point of focus you may say that devotion once implied an awareness of, and commitment to, a higher- larger -unknown force. But that was required for soul growth as humanity did not ‘see’ beyond the physical self …and it has served its purpose…all of you are aware being the larger picture. So it is being anchored in humanity, through another ray all-together, towards ‘becoming aware of and committed to’ that ‘larger’ ‘higher’ ‘other’ …being none other than himself!

Yes… could you claim undying devotion to your friend and then proceed to berate their very expressions of being: their manner, their skills, their choices, their will…? Not so! So how can you claim devotion to us and reject our hues and facets, which all of you are…?

DEVOTION- A PERSONAL SHARING ONE SUNDAY- 2005

Hello everyone, yesterday in my mediation I was asked not to do a 'regular' channeling but instead to speak in Divyaa consciousness… I think this is for my training too! It has become easy to come and sit with eyes closed and link or channel but i guess I need to speak to the group as divyaa increasingly….

I am going to do a small meditative exercise on devotion and I am going to speak a little about it, so that we know what we are going to do. When I sat in meditation yesterday, four casual incidents came together, in my mind… I had ordered a crystal many months ago from somewhere far away and I was looking forward to it with excitement, and when the crystal came and I fell in love with it all over again! And then I held it up in the light as we are wont to do -and in it i saw tiny scratches and a nick - and my mood came plunging down! I went through the gamut of anger …blame and victim … and that love at first sight was sort of disappearing!

However, as I in my next meditation with the crystal, the crystal conveyed to me that it had willfully come to me like that. It could have easily got itself polished and spitted, but it did not because I had asked within me that I want to understand devotion. So the crystal ‘spoke’ -that why it has come to me thus- not because I have to embrace the crystal the way it is, but so that I can understand that I and all of us, are beautiful, lovable, love-at-first-sight material, just the way we are. And if I could embrace that, then I would embrace the crystal automatically and I would embrace everybody around me. By embracing myself, I would be devoted to self, and automatically all- and that is actually devotion to self, which the Masters keep talking about. We usually start we devotion to the Gods outside, and then we move to devotion Masters and higher selves, larger selves, but never devotion to the current Divyaa, x, y, z…. but it is through devotion through self, the current self that you then start being devoted to everybody and the circle is complete.

The second thing, which came in my meditation, was a joking remark, Mayank had inadvertently made: ha ha he is wondering what is coming up! It was very lovingly and jokingly said, and taken in that right spirit, teasing me that this cosmic temple we are creating is going to be lopsided....what with 4 odd pillars as foundation- Tall pillar, short pillar, thin pillar...fat pillar...!. And I had given him some equally lighthearted rejoinder and forgotten about it. And when this came in my meditation, I was wondering where it was going, and I was asked to see that whilst all of here have probably, by now, moved out of the feeling that the physical really matters in the long run.... all of us still feel somewhere deep inside us that we are ‘spiritually’ too thin or spiritually less...or spiritually short. We want to be spiritually more. And that’s an oxymoron, because spiritually there is no less or more. Spiritually we all are just the way we need to be. The way I am now as Divyaa, as El or Zaf Or…is why and how my larger evolved spiritual self can be the way it is….what it indeed rests on or is made up of! We need to really grasp that so thanks Mayank.

And then came the third…inner event! Very often we think that our purpose to be has to be something very high-funda or very spiritual. And yet truly, our purpose in the now is what I desire in the now…what is giving me joy in that moment. It might be cooking. It might be a relationship, I need to resolve. Purposes are not always large, humungous purposes. If we devote ourselves to whatever is our purpose now, however mundane they may seem, they will open up to those larger and larger purposes we all seek!

The fourth, which was actually the first thing- in linear time- was about a month ago and what leads directly to what we are going to do today. As I mentioned I was exploring devotion in my mediations and every day stuff would hit my mind...and then one day I was in the car…. and a bhajan (a devotional song) was playing on the drivers cassette… and I was not a bhajan kind - but it was more of a love song …and if you actually hear the words, most love songs can be devotional songs and devotional songs can be the ideal love songs! And this big yearning developed within, in the car, and as it was a song sung to Guru’s and God’s …I was saying “Come on, guys…I want to see you…” And as you know when we say to our Higher selves and Master selves or Jade fire…“ I want to see you, I want to be you.” They are saying “You are me.” And that day I said “No, no that’s not what I am going to be happy with today! That’s good in my meditation! That’s good in my heart when I touch you there!! But today I want to see you hardcore physical.” And they said “Ok, flip down the rear view mirror.” And I said “No, I know where you are going with this one... that’s not good enough…for you are going to be telling me to look at myself.”

And they just said, “This whole song that you have heard... and sung, to the Whole, to the God, to Universal Consciousness, to Me Jadefire; Now sing it word-to -word, to current self. When you can really do that, then you are going to feel and see me all the time- and this 'yearning for me', to be seeing me will not go away-no- but it will become a fulfilled yearning.” It will be the delicious ache. That’s the best I can put it”

That is the song I am going to play now and I am going to ask all of you to sing it to yourself, word to word. At home, you may use whatever devotional song you like. I would like to tell you, it sounds very easy to do-but every time I started it Jade fire or GOD or Higher Self would come in somewhere. And they made me do it again and again, till for the whole song, there was only Divyaa. I was in a car; I was going to meet my sister-in-law for a walk…and as these things ‘happen’ the car had parked inadvertently a little away from our usual meeting place and my sister-in-law ‘found’ me only when I could sing the whole song and feel the same devotion I felt for Jade fire…for Divyaa …

So please try doing this today. I have timed the song before coming and it is only four and a half to five minutes. The reason I am saying this, is because a lot of us are going to feel within this undertaking…“Oh my God, it’s so long!" Because that happened to me whilst I was doing it! Because we can spend hours hearing Masters, Gods , Teachers, Speakers of Knowledge and information but 5 minutes with yourself , is a tough one. So try it. Close your eyes. Be devoted to self...
(The devotional song was played)

While the energies present, are so strongly of self-devotion, I will ask you to enter your heart chakra from the back. (Chakra’s open front to back) And the reason I am asking you to enter the heart from the back, is because from the front you are usually facing or feeling, expressing to the world, to the physical world and others around you. Try this for yourself at home. Don’t take anything for granted. When you enter from the back, you are in no space and no time.

Once you are within your heart, I would like you to create that most beautiful altar. You can be as imaginative as you like. You can go very basic and make a shelf, a pooja room, a mansion…a coliseum… whatever you like, but an altar to yourself. Yes, you may have within it what is symbolic of yourself, your essence. It doesn’t have to be something you are good at. It has to be essences that you enjoy. You may enjoy cooking, you may like dancing. You can keep a crystal pair of stilettos there. But an altar to yourself. (Whenever you feel unloved, powerless, lack of self worth, enter from the back of your heart chakra to this altar to yourself. See how good it makes you feel) .You may have a mirror of course, but if it is a mirror you must understand devotion to self, means devotion to everybody else too. So let it be a magical mirror which opens like a window, and all other beings can pass your vision time to time reflect in this mirror.

You may have two chairs for seating and whenever you are at odds with somebody, you may invite him or her here. And when you talk to him or her as yourself, you will see the larger picture. And that itself will change the way your relationship is.
Whenever you are ready, you may open your eyes. And please continue to enter this altar at home. Just don’t do it once today and think it is done! And a point will come when you will not need to create an altar. It will be how you feel for self. Thank you.

Love from my heart to yours, Divyaa Kummar
