Bodies, Soul, Karma, Reincarnation

[Sacred Fool]

A 'trip' is valid when there's a distance, when it's actually no distance how could there be any 'trip'?

...

Thus there is no need to fear that one will not arrive there..
Arrival to that state is a certainty.. how long? that's the question..

How can you arrive if there is no distance traveled?


I would say that the journey is not one of any distance, but of transformation of consciousness. The higher levels of consciousness are not distant, but neither are they known to the conscious level of self, except one goes through levels of transformation.  And what is being transformed?  Simply, levels of consciousness are being integrated.


Anyhow, as regards all that talk of karmic structures, one element which seems absent from Sadguru-daddy's presentation of basic Hindu philosophical tenets is (not unusually) appreciation for the leela (the play of Creation, of consciousness).  The karmic structures are modalities of creativity and the Creatrix delights in creative design and beauty. 

Put another way, even sheaths can be crafted so as to reflect transcendent beauty as an offering back to the Creatrix.  The Creatrix delights in her creatures reflecting Her beauty back to Her....or so says Q'uo.  (20 FEB 2016, near the end)
  

There is, my friends, in desire itself, a nisus, or an instinctual striving for unity. Love may enjoy the name of this unity at the point at which desire has found its direction. In many cases it would seem as if this direction takes the form of a specific object of that love, takes the form of the beloved. There are many things to love, and it is easy for the soul which is learning to find its way, to flit from flower to flower, so to speak, somewhat harder to discover that there is within a single flower enough reflection of the infinite to occupy a lifetime. One looks into the eyes of the beloved and what does one see but the Creator looking back at one. When the Creator looks back at the creature, the creature may begin to look creatively back at the Creator.

My friends, we would suggest to you that this is the golden moment. To the best of our ability to state the matter, this is the purpose of the creation: that the Creator be given the opportunity to gaze upon itself from a point of view that seems to be not originally present to the self. There is in this thought a depth that we have not plumbed, but there is in this thought a profundity that we have found most inspiring. Therefore, we will say to you that the question that you have posed today is one which is inexhaustible and which must be seen as relevant to the mystery to its very core.
