Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers

Namaste my chelas all over the world.
In the Karmic Space Of Intent there are two sides of the same coin represented.
There are also spaces between the intention and the actually doing.
When procrastination comes between intent and action then there is always the walls of the sleeping ego to crush you into stagnation.
Yet if you have intention that comes with a heart full of wonder of what can get done and you absolutely know you will do it, then the first step you take to accomplish your task you open a whole new world of help that comes from the deepest part of strength inside of you.
Intention can be a positive force that speaks with mind transcending grace.
Grace that will allow you to ask of your self and the deity with in to help you perform your intention with Her help and Her joy.
When one allows noisy dreams to interrupt your actions the you fall into a procrastinating state and your intentions rest in the gaps called unfinished bardo or a space in which intentions disappear.
The positive side to this Karmic Space Of Intention is to get very close to it and then have the realization that you could easily be trapped in your own cubby hole of procrastination and this awareness can have you become filled with true desire to work with your awareness of your intended goal.
As it is said in the scriptures if you ask of the Goddesses to help or your Beloved to help you will hear the ancient words AND MY HELP I SHALL BRING TO YOU AND MY GRACE I SHALL IMPART IN THE SILENCE OF MOVEMENT TOWARD YOUR TRUE HEART.
Your true heart is unlike the ego heart or the lower mind heart that will tell you that it is all too much and you are much too stressed to complete any project that you had the thought to complete in the moment.
Your intuition is the greatest weapon you have against procrastination.
Intent fills your heart in the moment with bliss yet it is out tent a word I use to teach one to move to the rhythm of their intuitive intentions and it means the actual doing of.
Action is Out Tent, the thought of, is Intention.
Negative and positive are the two rivers.
One is the thoughts that I will do this or that and the other is the flowing river of one who does.
One time the Earth Mother asked of a group of sages WHO WILL HELP ME TO HEAD OFF THE STORMS THAT MAY DESTROY THE EARTH?
In those times there were the great Goddesses and Gods that protected the Earth from the negative so called demons.
In other words the negative and the positive that lives inside of all of us.
There were four sages who had enjoyed all the graces of the Mother Earth,
Her wondrous forest and mountains of nectar and beauty.
The song of the wind rustling the clouds and the meditations that brought bliss to their hearts.
The Earth Mother asked each sage to take one corner of the Earth and protect it from the great storms of the demon race.
All four said YES MOTHER I WILL PROTECT THE BIRDS, LEAVES WINDS HILLS TREES SKY AND ALL THE LANDS FROM EAST TO WEST AND SOUTH TO NORTH AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL MOTHER EARTH IS SAFE.
WE ALL WILL ROAM AND ROAM AND BE NO STRANGER TO ANY PART OF MOTHER EARTH.
And every one had the intention to do so.
The one sage who was thought to be the most powerful said I INTEND TO TAKE THE NORTH SIDE OF EARTH AND PROTECT IT WITH ALL MY MIGHT.
They all took a corner of Mother Earth to protect
They all intended to go off to the war of the positive aspect of life fighting with the negative actions of the demons.
In the morning after their prayers, the sages of the east west and south left to keep their word and to live by their intentions.
The sage of the north as he was to be known hesitated thinking how cold it is in the north and said to himself that he will wait until the others conquered the demons and then he would fly on the breezes of the warm southern corner of the earth and conquer the northern demons.
And so he sat in prayer as the ego or the lazy mind taught him to do,
After all he was praying which in his mind was as important as any thing else.
The other sages conquered their posts and all of the lands of the south west and east were made safe.
A great roar came from the north accompanied with a great gusting wind that the earth has never seen before .
All the demons had congregated in the place where no sages have watched over.
The great north wind ran over earth and destroyed all.
The sage who had great intention to protect the northern corner of Mother Earth was startled out of meditations and prayer with a great gust of wind that landed him over Mother’s icy ocean for you see the north wind brought only cold and ice to the sea.
All sorts of destruction lay before him.
All of earth became one great land of ice.
He began to sob understanding the part he played in all the destruction of the animals land and people.
His tears were hot like fire and he begged of all the Gods and Goddess to give Him one more chance to live his intentions and to not procrastinate.
The Great Mother Goddess of the Universe took pity on him and awoken him from his dream.
You see it had not happened yet.
The northern sage rose up out of the sleep that he was lolled into by his lower mind and gathered all his strength running toward the north.
His relief was so great that he was bright with gratitude.
He conquered the north and from that day forth he was called the Great Northern Star the sage of the North.
When the other sages saw what had happened they took their intended places and protected Mother Earth making good their intentions.
So you see, it is not a matter of just intending to do something wonderful or important or small and thoughtful. it is the matter of having the strength to see all good intentions through no mater how tedious or beautiful they are.
The Karmic Space Of Intention can teach us all so much.
When many thoughts race through you and many intentions are stated at one time in your mind, then your mind becomes sleepy and begins to roam.
Taking one step at a time and finishing what you have started will be like the rainbow after a storm .
You will radiate from the inside out and every intention will be like an adventure.
The Karmic Space Of Intention can be used to sing to the clouds of doubt and watch them disappear.
It allows you to face your path of procrastination and walk out of this space the way you walked in only you will be the doer of your intentions and they will become, out tent.
They just will not live in your mind and when not done make you sad and depressed and lacking of strength.
We all have heard the words HIS INTENTIONS WERE GOOD YET HE DID NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.
It also can work the other way around.
When you have negative intentions, and you hesitate the negativity of these intentions break up and become sparkling crystals that turn into right intentions and the out tensions of accomplishments.
The Karmic Spaces just represent life and death.
Life of living in your heart or the death of the moment and slipping into the places that are dark and only need the light of your love and understanding to lead you out of them.
To just light your candle of awareness, and compassion for your self and for others and then all four sides of Mother Earth inside of you shall be protected by your own light of doing with a beautiful open heart and enjoying the moment.
You will then be bathed in the light of your heart and so will others.
It is the Mother Bhagavati who dances by the Ganges protecting us all no matter where we are.
The birds bring free thoughts of intentions that come from intuition and show you that your intentions will be done.
She dances on the Linga in this Sacred Painting representing the Dance Of Bhagavati On Her Lord Shiva’s Chest.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at the Feet Of The Great Light Of Divine Intention Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
