Live Lightly
When you live with an awareness of your inner
being, then your qualities of peace, love and
happiness shine like light. When you're light,
others experience warmth and radiance that
enlightens their own path. Make sure you
understand what causes you to become heavy. Then
find quick and easy methods to lighten yourself.
And then try to maintain this lightness.
Experiencing The Stage Of Being A Detached
Observer
Experience the stage of being a detached
observer by gradually creating the following
thoughts:
I am aware of the present moment and of time...
The whole world is out there... I let go for a
moment of what is happening around me... It is
as if the world continues to turn, but I have
stopped for a few minutes and turned into an
observer... Mentally, I take a step back... I
look around me as if I were in the inside of a
room... the room of my mind... In this place, I
can be with myself... at peace... calm...
free... Here I do not have pressures, or
worries, or fears... Nothing and nobody can
influence me... I can think... see things as
they really are... I am sitting like an
observer, seeing through two windows... These
windows are my eyes... I am not my eyes... I am
aware of who is looking through these eyes, a
tiny sparkling star like energy, the soul... I
am different from everything I am seeing... I
perceive that separation between the observer
and the observed... I observe the things that
surround me without judging, without
analyzing... I simply observe, remaining at
peace with myself... I see this world as a stage
of a great unlimited theatre play... each human
being is an actor, a soul playing their own role
via their physical body... I simply observe from
my inner room... things come and go... nothing
is permanent... I do not need to worry about
anything or anybody... I let things be...
flow... I am at peace... calmed... I share this
vibration of peace with all that surrounds me.
Soul Sustenance
Is the Supreme Soul (God) Really Omnipresent
(present everywhere)?
Is it really true that the Supreme Soul (God) is
present everywhere, in each atom in the entire
universe? The sun is in one place yet its
influence can be felt throughout the solar
system to different degrees in different places,
providing a source of heat and light, needs
absolutely essential for our physical life. The
closer one is to the sun, the greater the
effect. In the same way God, the one who is the
ocean of perfect characteristics, the source of
all spiritual needs, does not have to be
omnipresent (present everywhere) in order to be
with us wherever we are. He can be in one
location and we can still experience his
closeness. If God were literally omnipresent and
thus in every atom, where is this love, peace,
joy and wisdom? Are they present in every atom
in this human world? If God is present inside
me, how could ignorance have come to me in the
first place? Can ignorance come to God? If God
is omnipresent to where or to whom do I turn my
thoughts? Just as a radio transmitter emanates
waves throughout the world and a receiver, if
tuned in, will pick them up, so too if the mind
is tuned totally to the material world and
physical activities, then I am unable to
experience God practically in my daily life.
Even though He always radiates His qualities, I
can only pick up those transmissions if I am
soul-conscious and if I turn my thoughts in His
direction to His location. If God were
omnipresent, there would be no meaning to the
tradition throughout all cultures to have
special places set aside (e.g. temples and
churches) for worship. In those special places,
is God more omnipresent than in other non-sacred
places? If God were omnipresent, are the ones
who are so-called "God-realised beings" more
"God" than the ones who have not realised?

Message for the day
Determination fills a thought with power.
Projection:
Any thought which is added with determination
automatically brings confidence. This confidence
naturally fills the thought with power. When
there is the thought, 'I can do it', there is
surely the power to do it. Then there are no
distractions, nor is there any comparision with
others. All resources are put to the maximum use
and the task is accomplished.
Solution:
When I am able to fill my positive thoughts with
the power of determination, I am able to bring
all my special thoughts and plans into action
immediately. I am able to feel the satisfaction
of bringing equality into my thoughts, words and
actions. There is no feeling of helplessness,
but there is only confidence and courage in
doing what I am supposed to do.
Strength
The soul needs strength to deal effectively with
day to day situations, as demanding as they are,
and yet be able to pack up useless thoughts; to
be able to take time out for itself, to store
the power of peace from the Ocean of Peace. If
the soul does not recharge itself it will lose
the courage and enthusiasm. We need the strength
to continue the fight for right, even though the
forces of wrong grow strong.
