Dharma

 Dharma is a river and it is a sea. It is also many rivers and many currents. It can be so quiet it is imperceptible, that you don't even know you are immersed in it. It is life and consciousness. It is learning and what is to be learned. It is heart wisdom. How could this not be ever-present? When our heart participates in everything we do. When it touches everything we are aware of. Living breathing loving heart. Passionate heart. Compassion. It sings and dances one with the rhythms of the world. Always informing, always informed. It is the great container and guardian of the sentiments of living beings. It holds our feelings and is the medium through which they play out in the world. The dharmic laws govern that which we receive in life. The dharma hears the soul songs of every living being and all the movements of the world and allocates what is the proper measure of every substance to deliver to each being. According to our karma and our heart song, our dharma desire. If our dharma desire is strong enough, it will overwhelm all other universal laws. It will transmute our karma and our energy into the manifestation of our dharma desire. Our dharma desire is our heart wish, our heart calling out to the universe asking to receive what it desires. This is life-birthing, how our lives are formed by the melody of our dharma desire. How our heart subtly weaves our way into existence with the notes of its desire. Mastering our heart song is the way to mastering our ability to consciously create what we wish. This involves delving deep into the melody of our own heart and finding its deepest chord. The song of our life. When you know the song of your life, you will not deceive yourself and you will consciously know what you truly wish to create. The song you play will flow out with the power of the world behind it. You may still run into walls, but you will truly know what you desire. When we are in mastery of our heart song, what we desire will come to pass, for good or ill. I think contrary to what we hope and may believe, we cannot avoid all ill in our lives. Even when we are in mastery of our heart song. I don't think this is the point. I wonder if we are meant merely to play our heart song with all of its colors through good and ill. I wonder how much we can change our wyrd and if the greatest effort we can achieve is to simply embrace it whole heartedly. Perhaps this is half of the picture of the dharma, the other being to change anything as we wish. This is the half that I know well. Which, I think is essential to finding fulfillment to this world through simply being oneself. Being full is being that which embraces all that is and that which knows the bottom of its heart, which is its heart song whole and true. That dances with the world One with it as a stitch is One with the tapestry it belongs to. If it is possible to conquer all ill, then it would be through the mastery of our own heart song which is the full embrace of ourselves and the world. Without this knowledge even with infinite power we would unconsciously sow our own seeds of destruction. I think we build mastery of our heart song over lives and in each consecutive life we gain the ability to sustain our master longer among the elements of karma which threaten to submerge us in chaos and darkness. With enough mastery I believe we can leave this world altogether and be free of its dividing currents. I think the deepest nature of our soul is our Spirit which chooses to be born in darkness and chooses to live out many lives in many bodies through maya or the matrix of conditioned consciousness, which to it is the play of its fully liberated heart song. It is the master that we may momentarily or for a period of our lives come into contact with. It is no different that our truest sense of self that we are every moment of every day, but may rarely realize consciously. This may support the notion that we are not meant to overcome all ill in our lives, but live through it and through embrace of all that comes to us on Earth and beyond. For this ill does not bother  our true self, Spirit, but is an accent to her greatest expression of self which is her and our bliss.
