Perceive Positively
True self-awareness, plus the ability to choose
our perceptions of life, the universe and
everything, is the basis of free will. Every
situation and scene in front of us has so many
possibilities in terms of how we perceive and
interpret. If someone is 10% selfish and 90%
generous what should we focus on, what should we
perceive first within them? Most of us are now
well trained to perceive and focus on the
negative, the selfishness in others, and to
follow it quickly with accusation and judgment.
We forget that what we perceive is what we
empower within another and, more importantly
what we perceive is what we empower within
ourselves in that moment. And what we choose to
see is usually what we get. So how important is
it that we choose to perceive only the best, the
highest, the greatest in another, even if it's
only a half a percent? Bosses and parents - take
note!! Don't forget - your perception is your
reality. Your perception is what you project.
And what you project is what comes back!
Relaxed Attitude
When there is a problem in the body, there is
naturally pain
experienced. The one who is caught up with the
pain is not able to
take the mind beyond it. Such a person usually
continues to describe
the pain and tends to focus on it more and more.
So there is
inability to use the power of the mind to
relieve oneself from the
pain. When there is the ability to make the mind
strong even when
there is a problem in the body, we are able to
have the courage to win
over the pain. We don't get caught up with the
pain. On the other
hand, the relaxed attitude of our mind generates
power, which can even
cure the body.
The Location And The Form Of The Soul
When I look in a mirror I don't see 'my'
reflection but that of my body. The soul is
actually looking through the windows of the eyes
from some point inside the head. When viewed
from the front, this region appears to be
between and slightly above the line of the
eyebrows. As the brain is the control center for
all of the various processes of the body -
metabolism, the nervous, endocrine,
immunological, and lymphatic systems - it makes
sense that the soul be located somewhere in the
brain. Just as the driver in a car sits behind
the wheel with the steering wheel in his hands,
the soul sits in a specific point in the centre
of the brain. This is important to know for
meditation purposes because it is the place to
which attention is first directed in the effort
to concentrate the thoughts: I am the soul, a
tiny point of conscious light energy centered in
the spot between the eyebrows.

Soul Sustenance
Seeing Yourself in a Positive Light
Sit down in silence, relax, breathe deeply and
create a space within you… Now feel yourself
looking at your inner being, with your third
eye, in a different light… Instead of focusing
on your weaknesses, failures, what you lack
inside, what is lacking in your life, look out
for what beautiful treasures, your qualities,
specialties, talents, etc. you have inside you,
look at the positive aspects of your life and
bring them into your conscious awareness…
Becoming self-aware in this way, realize, you
have so much to offer, so much to give to
others... Now, create a beautiful image of
yourself where you see yourself as free… free of
negative feelings for yourself and others, with
a pure heart and a peaceful mind… Feel and see
your inner greatness, discover that you are
special and unique… Come back to being your own
friend… Love yourself, accept yourself and
respect yourself… Appreciate and value the
qualities of others… Feel fine being yourself,
in that space, in that room that there is within
you, where you are secure and safe, where you
can enjoy the marvelous thing that is your own
company, the company of a positive being… Be
awake and full of life… you are happy… at peace…
feeling peace… sharing peace… feeling free…
Having seen yourself in a positive light,
prepare yourself to enter into action,
maintaining your stage of self-esteem…
