MDMA - Being Enough
Each of my handouts is intended to be an adjunct to the therapy part of psychotherapy-assisted MDMA treatment. While I haven’t run out of ideas in an attempt to keep everyone’s growth progressing, this edition will draw entirely from the poignant and applicable words of Penache Desai.
He has written two beautiful books: Discovering Your Soul Signature and You Are Enough. Both are about what Desai refers to as “the search for inner integrity.” This handout will quote entirely from the latter book:
“With each second in the day, you are given 86,400 chances to choose differently than you have in the past. You are also given 28,800 breaths to act, think, and move from a positon of love. There is only ever one choice. Either you are living from your heart and moving toward your limitless potential, or you are continuing to live in fear and limitation.”
“When I entered this world and doctor gave me that first slap, I already had an appointed purpose to fulfill [like ‘destiny’ as revealed in a Mayan prophecy], as we all do. As long as I resisted by design, as long as I tried to turn myself into something that I thought would be admired or loved by others, I could not fulfill it. It wasn’t until I reached the depths of internal despair that I got in touch with the true reality that exists in and around us in every moment. In that surrender, I found the purpose, goodness, and connection that was my destiny.”
“Samadhi is the sacred remembrance of your Essential Self, which is one with Creator. It is knowing who you are, fully and authentically. It is an illumination, a recognition, a union. It is what we crave at the deepest level of our being. The desire for this union is that ceaseless internal hunger that keeps us searching externally for what paradoxically can only be found internally. Samadhi is a fundamental realignment of energy that raises the frequency in which you reside.”
“Humanity is in the process of remembering; a collective awakening is being birthed in this world. And everything that is happening, politically, socially, environmentally – including the chaos – is there so that individuals can recall and more fully realize their Essential Selves. The more you try to replicate someone else’s spiritual practice or journey, the further you find yourself from the power, beauty, and authenticity of who you truly are. There is a cosmic purpose for each aspect, which is that you, in your finite physical body, come to know your unbounded Divine Nature. My intention is to awaken you to the experience of the Divine Consciousness that resides within you. The depth of your being is so vast. It is unfathomably powerful, and you are constant revealing it.”
“Once you know yourself as the light, you will find that inner peace dominates every situation. It’s not that you will never feel fear, anxiety, or anger, but you will no longer get lost in your pain. It will no longer drown out the light. You will clearly recognize it for what it is – a temporary cloud passing in the sky. Then you can empower yourself to accelerate your evolution.”
“There are [traumatic] moments in each of our lives when something greater – something incontrovertible – steps in to help us realign with our truest lives and innate selves. This perceived crisis or trauma either shakes our world to its core or tears everything apart so that we are launched once again in the direction of our best lives, the most authentic expression of who we are each her to be.”
