You must be willing to face death. It may be that death has come to you in the form of loss of a beloved one, a physical loss that takes you into the darkest despair or depths of your grieving heart. It may be death that comes to you in the ending of a financial or professional situation you once relied upon. It could also be in the sense that you dont really know who you are anymore; old identities having shown themselves to be inadequate, inaccurate, mere ego masks too small for the great being that you are starting to suspect you may be! Even in its tremendous gratitude for all that is – and there is much gratitude and sweet appreciation in that precious heart of yours – there is a murmuring, a questing. It cries out to heaven. Vouchsafe me blessing! I cannot go on! I am broken and in need of your tenderness for healing! I am empty and in need of filling, not with stuff and bits but with the most precious nectar of divine for fulfilment! Nothing else will satisfy me. Please, please restore me to wholeness! I can bear this missing piece, this broken disarray, no longer! I listen and I cajole that wise heart of yours. I praise it for its honesty and longing, for the longing is an irresistible perfume to the beloved, attracting the only slave that will suit the divine discontent of your truce-speaking heart – that of divine presents, absolute and unquestionable.

The soul craves variety because it leads to wholeness, and wholeness leads to divine revelation. The purpose of the soul incarnating in this world in the first place is to realize its divinity through the sacred crucible of life. The older the soul, the closer it is to the realization of divine oneness, and the more powerful its determination to shed that which would constrain complete and conscious immersion into the divine presence.Say the following aloud: "Rumi, who loves me unconditionally, I call upon your loving grace. Please help me release what I no longer need, what is too small for my great light. Help me recognise the purity of my own being so that I can more easily trust in the divine love calling to me, like an insistent lover, in every moment. I breathe in your compassionate grace now. Thank you, my beloved." A short time later, I was scheduled to go to Istanbul, a place that I had long yearned to visit, where I was offering conscious dance sessions to a group of Yoga teachers. During my time in Turkey, I managed to have some quite profound mystical experiences 一 one of the strongest being in an old-fashioned Turkish hammam or bathhouse.

I know your heart! I hear it's breaking and groaning in a darkest night when you imagine yourself to be silently cast adrift in sleep. It speaks to me, that sacred heart of yours, whispering it's longing and bemoaning it's divine discontent. It knows when something is amiss!

Sometimes that means we will have to meagre meal wrested from our hand so we may feast upon something far more delectable and grand. In Istanbul, I witnessed the old and the new, and I felt as if Rumi was holding all the roiling, intense, ancient and modern clash of energy of that extraordinary, potent and intriguing place in the palm of his hand. I felt him there somehow, subtle but pervasive. My meditations became far more of an erotic experience of the Divine than ever before. I could feel the feminine softness and sensuality of my body and the potent, fierce masculine energy of my spirit combined. It was remarkable how the spiritual and sexual energies of my being became as one. I felt it strongly in my Turkish bathhouse experience, where time seemed to stand still and the Divine revealed itself in such sensual glory, filling my body and soul with gentle, unbreakable love. I felt it in the dances of the Whirling Dervishes that were so sublime. As I watched them spin in a heart-centred trance of their own inner connection to the Divine, made manifest through their dance, tears flowed down my cheeks and I just felt love.

Allow me to show you the light that you are, that burns within you, blazing angel of heavenly purity. I will unveil you to yourself. Undressing your ego, casting aside its layers, as tender as a lover, with unwavering attention upon the sacred body of light. You shall know yourself in truth.

What else was I supposed to do when I was standing in the middle of my office trying to remember what the hell I’m doing with my life? If you have asked a question then say: "I ask for guidance that will answer this issue, or whatever I most need to know at this time, clearly and lovingly. Thank you."
