Parvati Magazine December 2014/January 2015: Consequence/Beginnings | Page 11

YOGA
The universe exists because of consequence.
Every action creates an
action in which lives the
consequence. Where
you sit at this very moment is a consequence
of a moment or moments
that happened before.
Consequence is the
great Creative force of
the Cosmos, the Delightful Beauty that is the vehicle of life, and through
which we know ourselves
and can merge our limited idea of who we are
with the Cosmic Self.
Every action creates
a result. You are living,
breathing, tasting, seeing,
smelling, and feeling that
consequence right now.
If you perceive the Great
Delight of consequence,
the Goddess of Love and
Inspiration in that which
manifests as your reality,
then it will be possible
for you to use the consequences of actions as the
Guru principle. This principle is that which carries
you from darkness to light
and shows you the result
of your choices, so you
may see which open new

pathways and which
keep you circling through
the same patterns over
and over again.
In awakening to the
Goddess of Love as
consequence, you celebrate her gifts. They
are seen as the Celestial
Chariot transporting you
home to abide in the Self.
When the result of action
brings great challenge
or seeming obstruction,
it is wise to re-perceive
the Great Delight’s current manifestation as Her
love and sweet guidance. The challenges are
Her choice of vehicle as
Her teaching. Feel the
gentleness of Her presence, and listen to Her
whispers of love as She
dances with you - even if
the consequence seems
harsh on the surface.
Consequence is the
Cosmic Dance with the
Divine. Each step of
the dancer compels a
response from the partner, and calls them into
deeper intimacy. Every
life experience is a consequence of that which

has already been - be
it a health issue, a relationship, your career,
your parents, your birth
country, your hair and
skin colour, etc. Each of
these is a result of action,
thoughts or emotions previously imprinted. Consequence is the cosmic
mirror through which you
see your strengths and
fears.
There is no need to assume that a challenging result is a negative
consequence of action.
A challenge could also
be a gift for hard work
done or an opportunity
to release something old
and binding. The most
important thing is to feel
Her presence guiding
you. Let Her gift of consequence inspire you to
take one more step towards freedom of Spirit.
Blessings to your Dance!
May Her undulating forms
spin you and step you
to a place of intimacy
where the Great Love
that is, is no longer deniable.
