THE INNER SMILE, MICRO-MACRO REALITY AND THE VIOLET FLAME

The title of this blog reflects three of my favorite ideas. The Inner Smile is a Taoist idea/device of unlimited scope. Smiling is the universal approach to love. Smiling easily is a sure sign of wisdom. Smiling happens to us at a tender young age and has the same meaning when we are old and brittle. Offering a smile is free and easy and will usually be returned by even the crustiest individual. Being good at smiling is an under appreciated art. I personally use my biggest goofiest smile as often as possible. Sharing lovelight is what a smile truly is.
The Inner Smile is a smile in reverse. You smile at your self. Smiles are too rare in the modern world. Inner smiling is almost non-exsistent. We are taught to look for approval out side of our self through others. The Inner Smile says, I AM alright and I love my self as I Am. The Inner Smile is devoid of any of the lies associated with "smiling faces". We do not deceive ourselves by smiling to our self. You do not give your self a sly or sexy or goofy or fake smile. The Inner Smile is like the Mona Lisa, satisfied, content and full of self worth. We all need to become expert at smiling inward at our self, nobody elses approval is important. Everyones approval becomes automatic, when you love yourself. Loving a lover is easy.
The Inner Smile is a powerful tool for self healing. The Inner Smile is the cool gaze of Lovelight ,at your disposal for free at any time. What is the first reaction around pain of any kind? Ow, this sucks, why is this happening to me, wah wah wah. This is the inner frown. We all use it thinking somehow things will get better by frowning at it. How irrational and counterproductive. Inner frowning brings the problem/pain more into focus and closer to us. Try Smiling at the pain and see what will happen. Suddenly there will be space between you and the problem. Space created by humourous Lovelight. How funny, it hurts but I still feel good about my self, I guess it will get better in time. Smile into your back pain. Smile down into your poor ignored bowels. There is a lot of dirty work going on down there that you have been taking for granted. Give your liver a little smile of apology for all of the toxins it has to deal with because of your bad habits. Smile deeply to your always toiling heart who never stops thinking and worrying about your flow, you take for granted. Lovingly smile at all of the labour happening to keep your body going. It is not just your stomach, it is a sentient being under your rule. Be a wise Monarch and give the serfs a smile now and then.
It is easy to look up at the stars, or the macro reality and smile in wonder. How about the micro reality of your body. Every atom is a solar system. Our spine is the Milky Way. The brain is a field of super novas and cosmic communication. The human body is an image of the universe. Are we out of our body tripping around the sky? Or are we actually deep within the sub atomic structure of our own self. Perhaps both events are happening at the same time. As humans, we tend to view the body as a problem, so it is. Smile and love your body for what it is. A reflection of the Cosmos. Our own personal universe in which we are Goddess/God/Satan/ and??? You name it, it is your reality. This is not rhetoric. Everyone is fearful of this responsibilty. Hence all of the denial. Its not my fault! If it wasnt for (fill in the blank), everything would be fine. Which leads to my next subject...
I have notice a dramatic increase in Violet Light lately. The Violet Flame seems to be everywhere. My practice has become dominated with heart wrenching amounts of crushing breathless forgiveness. Violet Vortex's of transportative rest for my mind deep in silent space. Rushes of Violet speed beyond comprehension, leaving me gasping for breath in wonder. Huge rivers of Violet Flame gushing from my heart, splashing in enormous arcs of impossible dimension, raining down on the entire earth. This light is not warm and fuzzy. Forgiveness of this amplitude cares not about your attachments. In an almost cruel fashion, the Violet Flame is here to strip us bare naked and fully human. Comfort of self realization is the only hope and stopping point. All else is out of alignment with the vision of the Violet Flame. We must become Violet light itself, in order to find any rest from deconstructive change. I have never been so excited about sitting in meditation. Each day seems to bring something unheard of before. Our collective work is so simple. Conduct as much Violet Light as possible and blow it out of your Heart to EVERYONE! Adonia
