Welcome to the premier edition of Divine Impressions - A Journal for Spiritual Awakening.

The inspiration for this on-line journal is an on-going process and product of my personal quest for enlightenment, and the attainment of self-mastery. It has always been a meditative practice for me to express my experiences and realizations in one art form or another, be it writing, music or art. For me, it has been a healing, a self-analysis tool, and the ultimate joy of touching base with 'self'... to reach inside and pull out an essence droplet of soul and manifest it through divine creation, as a gift of spirit.

For years, much of what I have written, or created remained private and judged by myself as too personal to reveal to anyone whom I did not trust. They were personally examined secrets of self, and I thought at the time, would expose me as vulnerable, and guarded these secrets well with a tough shell, and believed in separation as a tool for self-preservation.

I had been on this path for many years, and often had used terms like unity, oneness, and universal consciousness. I understood the concept intellectually, yet, in truth, I was feeling very much alone. The more I came to understand, the less I felt understood, and perhaps even gave strength to the protective wall around me through unconscious and unresolved thought forms. In desperation, and utter loneliness I had to come to terms with the harsh truth, that "I" am now accountable for my reality, and this feeling of separation had to indicate that "I" was not acting in accord with my true hearts desire....and the shell cracked.

Now you might understand through spiritual teachings that the shell of separation is simply an illusion, and recognition should bring instant liberation. At the crack of this dawning we are awake!! It sounds easy enough, yet, the habits of the untrained mind, have a way of hypnotizing us back into the automatic pilot of the dream. The unconscious mind weighs heavy and is like a sandbag holding your eyelid down from seeing the truth. It takes pure desire, intent, committment and will, to keep from hitting that snooze button again. We have to follow through on these dawnings, until they come to fruition and we are no longer dreaming or glimpsing,...but BEING instead.

I have come to realize that in a sense, I am responsible for making that sunrise within. The dawning needs my assistance if it is going to make it over the horizon and shine in its full glory. Therefore, I have made a committment to reveal and realize something from these glimpses of truth, and find that through these realizations I continue to enlighten my awareness. With this in mind, contemplation of oneness takes on a new 'light'.

If I am ONE with ALL then there must be commonality, and a thread of continum with everyone. Therefore, I will conclude that at the core, my 'secrets of self' are common in some way among everyone. I will also conclude that the true hearts desire for unity is ONE and the same in everyone, and if each could recognize their true hearts desire, the central sun would emerge and all would awaken to the truth of oneness!!!

This true heart's desire is for unity and wholeness, therefore it only makes sense to serve this truth, and not the selfish dream of a limited, deceptive ego. My process of awakening is NOT a unique one, and if my sharing can seed, spark or assist even one being in their own attainment and self-mastery, it has served well. YOU who are reading this page right now, are a part of my true hearts desire and the reason why the Divine Impressions Journal has come into being. ... In my devotion it is dedicated to you.

Gracious Peace,

Maya
