Belief Power
If you are ready to alter some of the current
outcomes in your life then you will need to
start with your beliefs. There are many
categories. First there are 'fatal beliefs' - "I
can't, I'm not able, I never will." These are
the beliefs we have about ourselves, that set
the boundaries and limitations of ourselves.
Then there are 'blocker beliefs' - "My kid is
stupid...my boss is an idiot...did you see that
crazy person?" These are beliefs about others
and, for however long they last, they block the
flow of energy in a relationship. They are
bricks in the walls we build between each other.
Then there are 'survival beliefs' - "Get what
you can while you can....there is not enough to
go around...you have to look after number one."
These beliefs would have us live in fear and
anxiety, otherwise known as insecurity. We can
choose our beliefs. But first we may have to
unchoose the ones that have crept in over the
years, now living comfortably 'below stairs' and
seem to be part of our inner furniture. If you
want different outcomes in your life, change
your beliefs first. Clean up down stairs!!
Loving Relationships
Who doesn't appreciate loving relationships? The
soul is nourished when there is mutual affection
and regard between family and friends. Love of
course is built on trust but before I establish
secure relationships with others, there are two
major entities I have to face everyday: 'Myself'
and 'God.' Am I honest with my inner conscience
and my God? When the intellect is clean of
falsehood, I not only win the heart of God but
of every soul in my contact.
Overcoming Possessiveness And Complexes In Close
Relationships
We are all aware and we all experience also that
close knit family relationships are a constant
source of happiness and love. But these
relationships, many a times, also possess the
capacity of bringing along with this love and
joy, many different negative shades of
possessiveness and domination, and
complexes and dependencies. These are
widespread ailments existing in our family
relationships today, but which can be cured.
Meditation is a very positive healing process
which can cure the causes of these ailments,
which exist inside the human souls. Once the
causes are cured through meditation,
relationships become extremely healthy, which
provide the self from others and from the self
to others, only and only positivity energy, in
the form of positive and empowering thoughts,
feelings, words and actions.
A common sign of these diseases is lack of
respect for people close to us. As a result of
an un-respectful consciousness, we sometimes
behave with our nearest and dearest ones, like
maybe our spouse or children or siblings
(brothers or sisters) or parents, in such an
offensive manner which we normally never and
would not ever even think of showing towards
people with whom we are not very close. It's not
just a question of mannerisms, but of inner
respect for the other. So often in families,
a particular fixed order in relationships,
positions of higher and lower, positions of
senior and junior, become established, leading
to feelings of superiority and inferiority, the
effects of which start penetrating in the
relationships e.g. the mother-in-law is very
dominating and takes it for granted that she
will be listened to by the son and
daughter-in-law. Or an older brother or sister
orders around a younger sibling, not giving
him/her enough space in which to speak his or
her own mind and express himself/herself,
leading to an inferiority complex in the younger
sibling. Or a wife is extremely possessive of
the husband, not giving him enough personal
freedom. Once established, these behaviors
become permanent sanskaras and tend to be
carried with us through life, so that even when
we have left the original family relationships
and circumstances in which these behaviors
existed, we bring the same personality traits
into our new relationships and circumstances.

Soul Sustenance
The Journey Of Time (cont.)
We also see in nature that everything new
becomes old. Nothing ever starts old and becomes
new. All material possessions including the
human body, all political movements, religious
movements, different philosophies etc. move from
a state of newness to a state of oldness or
decay. This is on a micro level. When we apply
this principle and process on a macro level to
the world as a whole, we can then easily
understand why we live in an 'old world' – a
world with scientific progress but overused,
misused, tired and where many sectors are simply
worn out. This process is sometimes known as
entropy. The Law of Entropy states that a closed
system moves from order to disorder or chaos,
when the energy inside it reduces because it is
not renewed or re-energized from a source
outside that system. On a physical level,
the sun sustains and reenergizes the systems of
nature on the physical Earth every day. But in
the recent past our exploitation of the world
has started to become faster than the world’s
ability to renew or re-energize. We now use the
trapped energy in our physical world much faster
than the sun can replace it.
Tomorrow, we shall explain how the Law of
Entropy can be applied to spiritual energy and
our virtues.
Message for the day
The one who understands God's love is himself
loving too.
Projection:
The one who understands that God has love for
all children, never hates anyone, however
negative the other person's characteristics
might be. There is the understanding that it is
not the person who is negative, but it is only a
negative quality working within that person at
that time. A loving person's love discourages
the other person to use the negativity and
encourages to use the positive qualities
instead.
Solution:
When I am connected with God, I am able to
experience His love. Once I understand and
experience His love, I am able to remain loving
too - even with the most difficult people. I am
then able to have good wishes for all,
understanding that my love will make them
positive too. I am never caught up with anyone's
negativity, but am always happy as I only
interact with positivity.
