Silence
Silence calms your heart. It is a balm that heals the
wounds of the soul. It strengthens the spirit and takes
you to a world without sound where peace reigns.
Value of Time
For the one who knows the
value of time, each moment is valuable to be spent in a
worthwhile way. There is an expression of the inner
potentials and powers with each passing second. Not a
moment passes by without recognizing its worth. When I
know to value the time that is in my hands, the present,
I will neither be caught up too much with the past nor
with the future. I will be able to enjoy this moment and
so there will never be a dull moment in my life. I will
be able to bring constant progress with each passing
second and experiencing success constantly.
Fears And Dependencies In Relationships (cont.)
With dependency in
relationships (as discussed yesterday) we enter into an
energy of pleasing others so that they might continue to
appreciate us. We base our self-esteem and personal
security on the appreciation of these people. We stop
acting in a natural, free and spontaneous way because we
are worried about pleasing the one from whom we are
taking mental, emotional or physical support.
Into this energy of dependence enters fear: fear of
losing the support of that person, fear they will get
angry, fear that they might not like us any more, fear
that they might reject us, etc. That fear is a signal
that warns us of our emotional weaknesses and of our
lack of self-esteem. Fear brings on a greater inner
insecurity, which makes us carry on holding on to that
dependence.
There are people who, after entering into a energy of
dependence and suffering because of it, leave that
relationship with the objective of freeing themselves
from the pain it brings about in them. Then they begin
another relationship, where they generate the same
energy. The solution is not in a change of relationship
with another person, although on occasions that might
help us. If we don't change this energy internally and
if we don't learn to have a solid base of self-esteem,
we will continue to depend on the appreciation and
affection of others in order to appreciate and love
ourselves.

Understanding What Is
An Angel (Part 2)
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.
Message for the day
Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts.
Expression:
When
we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think
about it so much that it is totally blown out of
proportion and it seems bigger than it actually is. This
leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let us
work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain
the way we are, not being able to bring about progress.
Experience:
What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is
to change our focus. Instead of thinking about the
weakness, we only need to think, "I am not perfect yet,
but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving."
With such positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.
