Perfect and Pure
There is part of you that is perfect and pure.
It is untouched by the less than perfect
characteristics you've acquired by living in a
less than perfect world. It is filled with
divine qualities, so is a constant state of
resourcefulness and well-being. It’s total
absence of conflict and negativity of any sort
makes this part of you a Still-Point; a deep,
enriching experience of Silence. Make time to
practice reaching this inner place of Silence.
It will bring you untold benefit.
Quietness
Have you ever wondered why libraries have
special atmospheres? They are places where many
congregate but where silence is the code.
Quietness in an atmosphere means there is the
presence of quiet minds, and quiet minds are not
only relaxed, they can concentrate easily and
create more freely. Imagine you are in the
library of your mind, browsing the accumulated
wisdom on the shelves of your life - listen to
the silence,
be aware of the stillness. Now you can really
listen. Now you can
really hear. Now you can really think. Now you
can create. And behold,
you are an artist. Did you not know that silence
and creativity are
lovers ?
Understanding What Is An Angel (cont.)
In
Christian mythology, angels are commonly shown
as small children with wings - this is symbolic
of the fact that angels are very innocent and
pure, untouched by vices like anger, greed,
lust, ego, hatred, jealousy, etc. (so are
children). The purity of an angel is depicted in
mythology in the form of an aura of subtle light
or a halo around the head.
An angel's love for humanity is unlimited, yet
it is completely detached as the Supreme. An
angel experiences that whatever comes through it
in the form of thoughts, words or actions has
the effect of blessing other souls, as if it is
able to perceive or judge immediately or
instinctively what each soul needs and cater to
their needs. This act of blessing others is
depicted in the form of a magic wand. Angels are
commonly shown with magic wands in their hands,
with which they shower blessings on others.
An angel's thoughts, words and actions are all
serving others. An angel is a lighthouse, might
house, connected with the Supreme; it radiates
the spiritual rays of light and might, the love,
peace, happiness and power of the Supreme Soul,
to others.
Soul Sustenance
The Location And The Form Of The Soul (Part 3)
All of the characteristics present in the soul
are subtle or non-dimensional (without size) in
nature - thoughts, feelings, emotions,
decision-making power, personality traits (sanskars)
and so on. If they are all without size, then it
is reasonable to conclude that the living,
conscious energy, the soul, from which they
emerge is also sizeless. For this simple reason
it is eternal (beyond life and death). Something
which has no physical size cannot be destroyed.
As a soul I am neither spread throughout the
whole body nor am I an invisible duplicate of
the physical body. Even though the body of
subtle energy exists inside the physical body,
it is the effect of the soul being in the
physical form and not the soul itself. Just as
the sun is in one place and yet its light
radiates throughout the solar system, the soul
is in one place and its energy is spread
throughout the whole body. To express something
that exists but has no physical dimensions we
can use the word point. The soul therefore, is
an extremely small point of conscient (living)
light. For the sake of having an image to fix
our minds on we can say its star like in
appearance. In deep meditation we can experience
the soul as an extremely small point of
non-physical light surrounded by an oval-shaped
aura.
Message
for the day
Every reaction to situations is a reflection of
one's own self-respect.
Expression:
To the extent that there is a
high degree of self-respect, to that extent
there is a positive response to even the most
negative situations. If there is low
self-respect, even the smallest situation brings
forth a strong negative reaction. This reaction
only makes matters worse.
Experience:
When I am able to maintain my
own self-respect even in the worst situation, I
am able to have a hold, control over these
situations. But if I have a low self-respect I
continue to blame situations and use them as
excuses to feel helpless. So I am not able to do
anything about these situations and just
continue to have negative feelings.
