Inner Grace
Why can't we speak of our personal moments of grace without obscuring the Source.?

How do our Teachers deal with this? As intensely personal as private revelations through grace are, why do we have an impulse to share them with others? Does the act of speaking of our perceptions sever an open link with with the field of consciousness? Does our Inner Guide have designs and teachings that are against their nature to be repeated?

It seems to me that speaking of grace and grace itself are separated by the concept of 'having it' or of having identified with it. We can point toward grace by speaking of this, but will this actually either recreate it or even "sustain" it with any words we use to point with? Probably not totally. And yet something else is going on at the same time.

In the alive spaciousness of the heart, there are no words. Isn't this very aliveness exactly Buddha, but not Buddhism - or the equivalents in your own way of Being? And yet we do seem to be able to share this being somehow without breaking the link. It does seem to me that our words from the heart find their place in the heart of others and it breaks open entirely within consciousness - consciousness that is the shared heart of all. That something else going on.....isn't this what consciousness is looking for through "us"? It does seem to me that even while grace IS always and forever, there is also the sense of 'having it'. That is enough to cause the sense of separation it seems, even though there is not separation.

Yes, grace seems to want to be shared. The revered teacher, Ramana Maharshi did so with the most complete loving silent gaze - from grace to grace.

Does this make any sense? Too many words again.......
Thank you.
