Message from my teacher

Pi's last message before he left for Kalipay once more (from innerdance.multiply.com)

The Big Kahuna
If I could share but one thing to people I’ve met along the way, it would be this:
______________________
Spirituality isn’t like medicine, needful prayer or a Swiss Army-knife.

Spirituality isn’t a tool for getting what you want.

You do not even know what your spirit may want for you, so focused are you on what your smaller mind think it wants and needs.

The Inner Dance isn’t a tool for getting what you want; what you think you need. Rather, it is a tool for letting go of your needs. It doesn’t mean spirit will not get you what the universe has coming for you. It only means that we must start putting our hearts in the right place; where the desire to give freely takes the place of neediness and deprivation.

Ascension
You are your own cause living out your own effects. Your cause may not be the figurative beach, it may be Moses’ symbolic desert, Jesus’ wilderness, the Buddha’s forest, Mohammed’s mountain; or it could also be your own busy city.

If you desire your life to dance, you cannot do away with purging. And you cannot keep your eyes from your ascension, even if you are only now taking glances at it.

Though it may be the hardest thing you will ever do, you will have to start climbing at one point.

There is nothing else to do. No one else will do it for you.

Just take the first step. And another step. The whole point is to take enough steps to realize that walking and dancing to your higher will is the easiest thing you will ever do.

It is so simple. The cause of the Inner Dance is love. The effect of love is happiness. Find your highest love, and on the same island lives your highest happiness.

Love,
Pi
