True Wisdom

HARD LIGHT CENTER OF AWAKENING

Excerpt of a talk by Mark Griffin...

What the guru tells us, what the wise tell us, is that there is no way around difficulty. There is no way around suffering. You can only go through them.



Assuming the responsibility for all the difficulties that beset us is a sign of wisdom, a sign of maturity, a sign of understanding. Experience teaches us that if we truly have our own well being at heart and genuinely seek to avoid suffering, then taking responsibility is where the action is.



The true path of healing must begin with the direct address of all the problems and difficulties that trouble us.

The power to change and transform our lives

HARD LIGHT CENTER OF AWAKENING

Excerpt of a talk by Mark Griffin...

In the West, the assigning of blame is a psychological concept that is very dear to us, and is something we do very intensely. Our entire sense of social order and justice is one of assigning blame. It's always somebody's fault. But the act of assigning blame away from ourselves is a denial of the truth of a situation.



Spiritually speaking, all qualities, everything that has ever happened to us or will ever happen to us, has as its point of origin one place ourselves. If we psychologically displace the blame away from ourselves and onto something outside of ourselves, we give away the most valuable thing we have the power to change and transform our lives.

Transmission of Grace

HARD LIGHT CENTER OF AWAKENING

Excerpt of a talk by Mark Griffin...

The transmission of grace is like lightening, striking straight into the deepest part of one's nature. Its light is infinitely subtle and all-pervasive; it's the light of God in the form of liberation. Once having entered, there is no holding it back; it will travel to the full depth of every issue at all times.



One of the realities of this grace is the acceleration and deepening of purification. As the grace pours in, it becomes more challenging to maintain balance within the framework of your life, and you must learn to walk the razor's edge while in constant change.



It's like learning how to drive a high-performance vehicle; it's not at all like driving an ordinary car. Just the process of keeping it in a line on the road when driving at higher speeds is challenging. Precision instrumentation requires that you gain a whole new level of capabilities to deal with the increased swiftness of the fluctuations.
