Stillness
Journey into the stillness
of your inner being. Here, in the shade of your true
self you will find true comfort and true support.
Thoughts
Most of us think far too much -
somewhere around and in fact more than 40,000 thoughts a
day on average! Why is that too much? Because most of
our thoughts are based on insecurity and worry about
uncertain futures. In fact, most thinking is really
worry, which we wrongly think is care; anxiety, which we
wrongly think is concern. Thinking does not give us the
strength we need to live a calmer, more fulfilling life.
It drains our energy and hinders the access we need to
our own inner spiritual wisdom. Thinking can easily be
an inner noise that drowns out the voice of our heart.
When we say, "I just need to think about that”; we
really mean "I'm not sure”; which means there is doubt,
and doubt is one of those habits, which turns into worry
and anxiety, and all they do is subtly drain our energy.
Understanding Fear
Everyone, when they are young, knows
what their destiny is. At that point in their lives,
everything is clear and everything is possible. They are
not afraid to dream, and to wish for everything they
would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as
time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them
that it will be impossible for them to realize their
destiny... There is only one thing that makes a dream
impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. Fear is an
energy that puts a brake on you and prevents you from
doing what you want and aiming where you want to go. It
blocks you in the communication and expression of what
you want to say. Fear makes you hide, suppress and not
express the most attractive; the most beautiful part of
your inner self. Fear has an influence on our capacity
to reason, discriminate and take decisions. It makes us
doubt, it makes us indecisive even in the simplest
decisions of our lives. Fear does not allow your energy
to flow, and that weakens your state of wellbeing and
general health. Fear locks you into
yourself and makes you become indecisive. It is a shadow
over your inner self that prevents you from acting with
ease and fluidity. It reduces your capacity of
expression, of being yourself, of dealing with life and
flowing in it.
Soul Sustenance
Overcoming Fears Connected With Negative Past Experiences
(cont.)
The work with oneself to see what aspects of your past
burden you and coming to terms with those aspects,
requires silence, reflection and meditation. When you
come to terms with your own past, you can let go of it
and be free of it, not be afraid that the past will come
back to you. If not, sometimes, it is like a shadow that
follows you. If your house was robbed once, the shadow
follows you that, perhaps, you might be robbed again. If
they hurt you, you fear it will happen again. Sometimes
that experience presents itself in dreams, in the
subconscious or in present attitudes. Reliving the past
in your mind, you do not fully enjoy the present. You
have to accept the pieces of your past so that they do
not continue to generate upsets. Accept that you had to
live through them and live the present with a
constructive vision of the future. In the above context,
it helps to write letters to God about your experiences.
The exercise of sharing them with God in writing brings
clarity inside you and helps you to bring the spiritual
light and might in your life in order not to be burdened
by unnecessary experiences, unhappiness or grief. Have
you ever written to God? You could do it at night and
tell Him the things that affected you or that you have
learned. You can tell Him the things or intimate
feelings that other people perhaps wouldn't understand
or wouldn't be there to listen to. You could also talk
to Him about all that you question, and you do not have
an answer to. And the following morning, when you
meditate and study a little bit of spiritual knowledge,
you often receive answers.
Message for the day
To be clean means
to be a success.
Projection:
We usually interact with others
based on our past experiences with them. Even if there
has been a single negative experience with someone, we
keep that in our mind and all our responses are based on
that experience. We are, then, not able to be fully
successful in our relationships.
Solution:
In
order to succeed in our relationships we need to keep
our mind free from the experiences of the past. We can
do this when we look at the uniqueness and specialty of
each individual that we come into contact with. This
practice makes us respect all and be free from the
negativity of the past.
