Our Divine Wholeness
Paula Whang-Ramos
"At the core of our being, we are already divine. We are perfect, whole, and complete. Our practice merely clears away any obstructions
to perceiving the truth of what we are." ~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 50
It is important to remember our divine wholeness amidst ever-changing life circumstances. And, when we do forget, we can find courage knowing that our forgetfulness does not diminish our wholeness as spiritual beings. Soul wisdom always remembers what the mind can forget.
Kriya Yoga offers many spiritual practices for us remember, return, and live in the integrity of our essential wholeness. Superconscious meditation is the foundation of our divine remembrance, as it quiets the wrong-thinking mind so our soul wholeness can be directly experienced by us. Learning to live as a disciple to the soul's joy; studying ancient, time-tested Truth teachings; and repeatedly surrendering the illusion that we are less than whole are additional foundational practices. These practices can inspire daily life choices that support our highest good.
Join us at CSE and BLC as we practice these life-changing teachings. Experience for your Self the peace, joy, and grace that naturally arise when we live from within. We will save a seat for you!

Meet Your True Self
Paula Whang-Ramos
"Meditation is a radical form of Self-acceptance; it arranges our meeting with the true Self - the most important meeting we can have.
Do not miss it." ~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 59
While meditation is a foundational practice in this tradition of Kriya Yoga, the purpose of meditation is not to meditate. Nor is it to make us more whole, peaceful, wise, happy, or spiritual. We meditate so we can directly experience these qualities that already exist within us, as our true Self.
On a practical level, the purpose of meditation is to quiet the distracted mind that wrongly defines who we are based on its limitations, fears, stories, and emotions. With steadfast daily meditation practice, we learn to open beyond this small self into the deeper, unchanging integrity of the true Self. Meditation can help us inwardly access, live from, and consciously return to the true Self that is already blessed by the power, wholeness, and wisdom of the Source from which it emanates.
Even during moments that scare the small self, the true Self remains spiritually grounded in the greater divine grace that still flows through us as peace, wisdom, courage, and love. Join us in meditation. Meet your true Self and experience the freedom beyond the tyranny of the mind.
