House

House – by Trevor Hall

Hear this song and some stunning photos taken while sailing the west side Lanai, Hawaii as we start to approach Manele bay.

In the Hindu traditions, an aspirant will spend months at an ashram gaining spiritual Wisdoms and gaining spiritual momentum.

There is a season that follows the yearly monsoons that the serious seekers will embark on a pilgrimage on foot. During one part of the Sadhana, they will travel South… the other part will be a journey to the North.

There is a ritual in that one is to be naked and covered with ash.

During these deep transcendental states of consciousness…

Wisdoms are said to be revealed in lucid dreams.

When this or any deeply practiced meditations lead to the higher states of human consciousness, an experience of profound well-being is felt.  There is an undeniable sense of ‘Oneness’ that renders what we once thought to be ourselves as… not our True Self.  This state of ‘Turiya’… It feels like the ‘God’ state.

In this state, what we once naively thought of as “God”… is completely transcended with an understanding the Absolute Reality.

‘House’ – this song mentions what one can expect the ‘Absolute’ to be like, similar to what Buddhists call Nirvana.

It’s not a ‘place’ to go to… it’s simply a perspective.

When one fully understands this perspective, the pain and suffering most of us inherently endure becomes a complete non-issue, as the realization that our True nature never was born, never gets old or dies.

Ask yourself,

What is the constant in all our states of consciousness?

You will notice that it is … awareness.

Contemplate what is it that is aware…  of being aware.

When fully understood in the wordless Wisdoms of deep mediation,

You’ll know that…
I Am That.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
