Driven By Desires

Siddhananda: So, another guy here (shows a small cream stone with a golden edge on one side). I'm hearing, “Influenced by so many things."

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: (pause) So I'm asking, what kind of things are you influenced by?

G: Mm hmm.

Siddhananda: (pause) I'm seeing an image of the chakras.

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: I'm asking him if he's focusing on the chakras. He said that he was ... he/she.  I can see the whole scale of the chakras and it feels like he, this energy, is particularly focused on the lower chakras.

G: Ah, Okay.

Siddhananda: Is that correct?

Spirit: I'm here.

G: Why would you focus on the lower chakras (laughing)?

Siddhananda: (laughing) Good question!

G: For what reason are you doing that (laughing), pray tell?

Siddhananda: (laughing) Stop it! No, just kidding (laughing).

Spirit:  Because ... (pausing for a time) ... ego? Driven by desires.

G: Mm hmm (nodding).

Spirit: Driven by desires.

G: Okay, and that's helped you how?

G and Siddhananda:  (laughing)

Spirit: To feed my desires and cravings.
 
G: Mm hmm ... mm hmm ... are you willing to let go of those yet?

Spirit: Yes!

Siddhananda: He's had his fill there ... he/she.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: That's what he feels like ... he's done. I don't think it was necessarily a practice, but maybe it's his way of saying that’s the way he's [been].

G: Yeah, he's been run by his desires rather than pure light.

Siddhananda: Yes, and cravings ...

G:  Ask, instead then, for the pure light of wisdom rather than seeking pleasures of the form. This is not to say if you seek the true light of wisdom that you won't have pleasures (laughing).

Siddhananda: Right!

G: Guaranteed, they are better pleasures than you had before (laughing).

Siddhananda: He's saying, "Thank you for telling me that."

G: Also, understand that you don't focus on chakras. They are just levels and layers of consciousness that one passes through. That is the indication of what it is.
 
Spirit: So, they're not ...What's that saying? So, that's not what has to do with yourself so much ... the chakras?

G: In a way, but it has to do more with going through the levels and layers of consciousness  ... ideals and ideations. One passes through each level, each layer, and gets a chance to dispel them, to see them, to encounter them and to let go of them.

Siddhananda: Okay, so now, as you're speaking, I do hear more of a balancing,  a fluctuation between the lower [chakras], and getting a little higher (laughing).

G: Right, yeah.

Siddhananda: Aiming higher, which is nice (laughing).

G: That's good (laughing). We're making progress.

Siddhananda: It's a good thing! Aim higher! He's laughing.

Spirit:  I want to aim higher.

G: Aim higher, yeah (laughing).

Siddhananda: (laughing) Get past those base primal [desires]...

G:  ... Yeah, let's get past the base primal stuff.

Siddhananda: Come into spirit more, and, that's what he, this energy, is wanting ...

Spirit:  ... to come more to the heart.

G: Aha (nodding).

Spirit: Okay, so that's more focus on the heart then?

G: Yeah, focus more on the Heart ... exactly.

Siddhananda: He's like, "Oh, that's so nice," (chuckling).

G: Yeah!

Spirit: It's nice to be out of that kind of turmoil!

G: Yeah, so he can do the "Om That I AM" and the "I AM THAT I AM."

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: Just OM ... OM, the sound of the universe. Connect with the sound of the universe.

Siddhananda: I see an OM in my Heart. So, it's his way of saying, yeah, he's getting that energy into his Heart.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: He's ready to be quieter .

G: It's a good place to start.

Siddhananda: So I think that's good!

G: (gesturing Namaste). So, we will let him proceed from there. Thank you!

Siddhananda: Why are you doing that (laughing)? Sometimes, it's just that question that kind of rattles people ... yeah,  why am I doing that?

G: (laughing)

Siddhananda: That's stupid! No, just teasing.  But, sometimes people have to get their fill of something before they’re ready to move on.

G: Exactly.

Siddhananda: You know, that's part of a process.

G: Exactly. Sometimes people have to fall and hit rock bottom before they're ready  to move forward.

Siddhananda: Exactly.

G: it's the harder way of doing it, but sometimes that's the case.

Siddhananda: Right, but he did make that shift pretty well and I think they were really tired of that.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: Being in that kind of energy.

G: Yeah!

Soul Release

Siddhananda: (laughing) I do remember this rock (showing a rock), because I remember the pink...

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: ...and then the little thing around it (pointing to the yellow band), a little gold.

G: You’ll see many of the same ones… many, many, many times (laughing).

Siddhananda: Oh, I’m sure! But, it’s just interesting. You see a lot of the same ones. Some of them are more popular though, in this moment. But that could change. Some others could come to the forefront. Anyway, okay, so! Let’s see what’s happening with this one. (pause) Soul release, release soul. (smiling) Soul release, mental harmony seeking.

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: I feel that they have had some tastes of quietude and silence and stillness, and, they are seeking to be single-minded. One-pointed.

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: Maybe in their practices…

G: Right.

Siddhananda: …and in their journey now.

G: So, maybe the COS.

Siddhananda: And they are very happy with that. And again, when you say COS, I see that being imprinted and coming and they are just very, very happy with that. I think that this one is kind of, at least it feels to me, that they are pretty open, they are pretty heart-centered and this will really help them a lot, the COS.

G: So that will really help them open up a little bit more.

Siddhananda: For sure!

G: Yeah, balance out.

Siddhananda: (nodding) So, namaste!

G: Namaste.

Heart Center Pummeled

Siddhananda:  Siddhananda hears, "My life has been what I call perfect."

G:  I just felt a big, huge flush right in the heart center.

Siddhananda:  Ah, okay ... interesting!

G:  It's just crazy, crazy big (sweeping hand gestures to show how the energy is moving up and out from the heart center)

Siddhananda:  Is it a good thing?

G:  Oh, yes, it’s a good thing! The heart is just ... (motioning with hands to show how expansive the energy is) ... like crazy energy. No, it's a good thing.

Siddhananda:  Oh, good! There are lot of wonderful energies here today, so I'm glad you're feeling that. Good.

G:  There is just a big flush right through the heart.  It's a very intense one.

Siddhananda: Wow! You can really feel it today. I'm just feeling nothing but love and light, and beauty here today. Really. It's amazing.

G:  This energy is really gonn'a pummel . I mean, these energies together can really pummel ... big time.

Siddhananda: Oh, it’s coming. It's happening. It's really such a good thing ... such a good, needed thing.

So, let's see.  I'm seeing the Guru sandals, and some roses.  I'm hearing they've had a perfect life, but maybe haven't lived perfectly, but I don't know if that's right. So, things are just kind of fading again. I'm seeing the Guru's sandals again with the roses ... the padukas, or however you say?

G:  Right, the padukas. Sounds like they had the perfect opportunity, but they didn't take full advantage of it.

Siddhananda: You know, that's my feeling of it because they say it was perfect, and yet, they have not lived perfectly.

G: Right. They had a great opportunity but they didn't take full advantage of it.

Siddhananda: Yes, that's the truth. I hear them saying they walked with some saints. Then the Guru sandals are there. So, they really had quite a lot of wonderful energies in their life, and maybe they didn't, like you say, take full advantage.

G:  Yes, maybe they didn't recognize it until too late. They were just kind of saying ... okay, this is nice ... kind of a thing. They had a lot of opportunity but maybe they didn't get the full benefit. So, what is it that we can help them with? What is it they are here for?

Siddhananda: Again, I'm seeing the Guru's sandals.  They are wanting to take that more into themselves now. They see that there was some time lost and some opportunity lost. So, what to do now?  They're following those rose petals.

G:  They can go ahead and do the COS.

Siddhananda:  That's being transmitted to them. There is a little bit of murky energy with this being.

G:  Right.  They didn't take advantage of what they had before. So, now they're going to have to prove themselves and open themselves to it. They kind of closed the door.

Siddhananda:  They're picking up those sandals now ... holding them to their heart and kissing them ... and just crying.

G:  It's one of those kind of things that you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Siddhananda: yeah ... and so they're just trying to hold those near to have that energy, too. So, that was not a totally lost thing to them.

G:  So, now they have another opportunity. Don't blow this one off.

Siddhananda: They are saying no.  They're crying and holding those sandals. They have taken the COS and they're going to just go on.  They're very sad, though, but they're going to keep on.

G:  There's no reason to be sad. They need to go forward.

Siddhananda: okay ... so, yes.  Thank you.

G:  Namaste.

Siddhananda:  There's always another opportunity, but it's better if you do have these opportunities to take them when they're there. But, certainly, there's always another one.  It's just something to consider.

G:  Exactly.
