Commit to hanging your laundry out to dry. Dedicate a portion of your lawn to a vegetable garden. Get to know your neighbors. Cooperate to save money and resources. Go to your local farmers' market each week before you head to the grocery store. Do some spring cleaning to identify everything in your home that you absolutely don't need. Donate to help others save money and resources. Make a commitment to start carrying your own reusable bags and use them on all your shopping trips. Choose one local food item to learn how to preserve for yourself for the winter. Get your family to spend more evenings at home, preferably with the TV off. Cook for your family. Focus on enjoying what you have and who are with. Stop fixating on what you think you may need, or how things could be better "if only.""

Tests for Growth
"There are various tests to which a devotee is subjected: they could be of the mind, or the intellect, of the body, and so on. A number of such tests are there. In fact, God is conducting tests all the time; every occurrence in life is a test. Every thought that crops up in the mind is in itself a test to see what one's reaction will be. Hence one must be always alert and aloof, conducting oneself with a spirit of detachment, viewing everything as an opportunity afforded to gain experience, to improve oneself and go on to a higher stage." Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri

Warriors of love and light or Servants of Love and Light?
I know that many of our circle will call us "light warriors" "love warriors" etc. And in many respects the "peace" movement is a war on war, the environmental movement a war on environmental aggressors...
Yet in putting down our swords, we find that light and love are more effective "war free."
In my spiritual work of dealing with beings and entities of all sorts and dimensions, kind and not-so-kind. Of late I have found that effectively dealing with them has been to embody soveriegn light and conscious connection to source while firmly informing them of the conscious connection to source that we share, and that there is a oneness that trumps any dark agenda or malevolence, war, struggle, fight etc.
Which has all inspired me to explore new ideas and ways to express as a servant of light and love, rather than a warrior of light and love.In other words, when there is no fight, there is no fight.

Interested in Tantra? It's all about equanimity...
In an article recently published in LA Yoga Magazine, Robert Svoboda beautifully clarifies the ins and outs of the mysterious path known as "tantra" wherein he describes it as a path to spiritual, emotional and physical equanimity - "samarasa."
In the west tantra is often confused as a path relating only to sacred sexuality - "Those in the West who have heard of Tantra usually equate it with marathon-length, well-lubricated sexual encounters."
"The search for samarasa is a primary goal of the Indian spiritual path known as Tantra, a science about which much is speculated today, and little is known. Simultaneously more and less than a “religion,” Tantra is a corpus of beliefs and practices, developed over many millennia by loose affiliations of nonconformist seekers, who sought to free themselves from their numerous limitations and become truly independent, or svatantra (literally, “self- functioning”). Once svatantra, a human can live immersed in samarasa as a well-integrated individual, freed from one-sidedness, personal idiosyncrasies, and pointless preferences"
