These excerpts were just sent to me.
These are from Kalindi's workbook on relationships.
"Illusory Love Binds You, Love of God Frees you" workbook #1 by Kalindi La Gourasana
(search on google, a few esoteric online bookstores carry it)
from the "Listen, Say Yes, & Act" workbook series
Following are some random pickings from the Spiritual Master, the living Voice of God on Earth for this time in history. We are blessed to be alive now with these teachings, and this path to ultimate freedom
available for the masses :
from pg 149 :
Gourasana : You will have to let go at some point. If you are to continue with the relationship, you must understand without any doubt that it is complete illusion. You must understand that no matter how great the love is, it is illusory love as I spoke of earlier. And illusory love binds you to this place, forces you to come back....... you must come to apoint where you can give it up because it is all illusion and it is all binding you.
It has no spiritually redeeming characteristics at all. But be warned, this is one of the strongest pulls of the illusion and it has enough power to capture you and keep you.
from page 105 :
Your True Self manifests as you have no denial and no repression, and you're giving up the attachment fully.
pg 87
... Or, you feel like you can't fully blossom because as soon as you open up in your true connection, and feel it, you also have sexual desire. You are afraid that if you fully unleash your full true Being, you may feel like your true Being will naturally feel like it can just frolic around and you will feel like you want to have sex with a hundred people.
pg 88
... But if you can understand what i'm trying to say: if you're going to have sex, make sure it's very clear that you are now engaging in making love, having the act of sex, and let yourself have it..... there's nothing wrong with having loving sex. A lot of you engage in really incredible loving exchanges with each other in relationship, or just with
different people, however it's going to be for you. That's going to be nice for you. Finally no more guilt. .... So get that distince and just know up front "Yeah, I'm having this material pleasure. I'm open and loving and I love that I get to have this pleasure and it's okay with God."
pg. 159
Kalindi : Gourasana, why did you say that fear is a better, more conducive feeling to have than guilt?
Gourasana ; Fear in this particular instance, fear of this love, love that is
difficult to distinguish between this love and love of God, is not a bad thing. And yet this love that she is feeling for this man is a love that will purely bind her to this place. So it is so treacherous. It is so devious in nature and it is so powerful and it is totaly the illusion's tool that it is something to be afraid of. And again, in this particular instance, it is, what
to speak of, welcoming it. It should be mistrusted, at the very least, this
love should be mistrusted.
pg. 50
The topic of breaking exclusivity is hard. You can't understand it with your mind. The topic strikes fear, I know, in the hearts of everyone......... You really limit yourself to a very pitiful small amount of love when you are stuck in this consciousness, exclusivity, which really gets very dead and old pretty quick. It's by opening yourself up and releasing each
other of exclusivity that the everything of God can shower you with love and ecstasy that constantly keeps going..... (regarding exclusivity).... You're really just trapping yourself from feeling the everything of God that wants to come through your True Selves.
p 57
Then there are times when you're really in the thick of it, helping other people break free and moving through more yourself, opening up to more. You're totally connected into the True Realm of Existence, which is not the realm of illusion of exclusive, limited love, which is not love. That realm of illusion is so small. it's so tiny, it actually chokes each other to
death.
pg. 139
You have too much focus on sex. Is it good? Is it bad? How will it be? Do
you have that much focus on God?.... How can you leave your focus for even a second? you have to become consumed by your
desire for God. I'm telling all of you that you are consumed by sex, you're marching down the wrong avenue. I'm not telling you to stop sex, but if sex makes your forget God, you'd better wake up. And maybe you'd better have sex once a week or something.
pg. 142
You'll learn to love each other, like God loves you. That's the level of love
that can be there when you give up the man/woman game. It's a lot of devotion. There can be something very sweet in a committed relationship that's free fom the bondage that can be very conducive the long haul of a forty-year transformation...... the illusory love and entanglement, which is most often the case, must be broken or the real human love won't be felt and shared Rather than a relationship being a good thing on
your path, which it can be, it binds you and strangles the movement of your spirit and your true Being........... On the path for one seeking ultimate freedome, always the greater commitment is commiment to God and His plan and unfoldment And sometimes that God's plan and your desire are in conflict, and that may mean a relationship may break up
for purposes conducive to one's own quest for freedom.... greater love will be found in God and His service eventually It takes some time sometimes for healing to occur and a greater love to be found
pg. 169
My Lord,
I ask of You and I give You permission
to burn away all illusory obstructions
and impurities from my heart.
Please.
I fall at Your feet,
for I am nothing without You.
pg. 77
But it will take all of your effort to break the attachments and truly achieve detachment, which is God's love in you fully and completely.
Now, when I speak of detachment, side by side I have to say: don't try to
manufactue an artificial detachment. Don't conjure up what you think detachment is, so that you can have sexual pleasure or so that you can appear to be some detached spritual person. Don't do that. True detachment is real. True detachment is love. True detachment is love
of God.
Don't underestimate the power of hte illusion and hte pull of the illusory love of this material world. Don't underestimate it. At every level it's set out to trap you. Don't fall for the trap. Begin to see the illusion of illusory love. it comes in great disguide, and it lure you away from God, just slowly enough so that you don't even know that you're being
lured. So I say to you: be-ware and become aware of the Illusion. You're all struggling to open fully to god and to find that wholeness and love of God within. The illusion is always, in so many ways, tricking you and pulling you off track. it's so tricky, you can hardly ditinguish God's love from illusory love.
You must also release the guilt and shame around the area of sexuality and the fear in this area of not wanting to live with an open heart, able to connect to other people. Whether you have sex or not, this guilt and shame in the area of sex, and the fear in the area of opening your heart, is the illusion blocking the expression of your true Being in God, inside of you. Your true Being stands whole and compelte and is sexual and
sensual by nature in itself with God.
