Create Vision
Never believe anyone who says we cannot change.
Vision is one of the secrets of personal
transformation. We are all artists, our mind is
the arena of creation and vision is what we are
constantly creating. What is your vision of
yourself today - patient, relaxed, positive or
tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer?
So be creative - what does patience look like,
feel like, what are you doing that is different
when you are patient and you are expressing your
power to ...wait? Always start with vision not
action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you
will do it. This is how we create our own life.
Recharge!
Each day we all need to recharge our spiritual
battery, otherwise the
light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts
become fuzzy, and
decisions are impregnated with doubt. Power is
available inside and
outside. Inside us we have a spiritual centre,
at the core of our
consciousness, pure radiant spiritual light.
This is what we are.
However it is now blocked by our attachments,
the record of all our
life experiences and many learned beliefs and
perceptions. Outside us
we have the sun of spirit, the source, invisible
to our physical eyes
but only one second away when we are able to
quieten and focus our
mind. Meditation connects us to both sources of
power - that's why
meditation is the way to access the real
vitamins and the minerals that
spirit craves. The vitamin of pure love and the
minerals of truth and
wisdom. Take time to empower yourself today. Sit
quietly and connect
your mind to each source and allow yourself to
recharge and renew.
The Significance Of The Power Of Thought In
Meditation
Meditation is not a process of emptying the mind
of thought. In meditation I use the natural
power of the soul - the power to create
thoughts, as a take-off point (or as a
spring-board) to finally experience the
consciousness of the true self. In meditation, I
climb a ladder of well-prepared, positive and
spiritual thoughts and eventually climb beyond
the ladder into the pure experience of what I
really am.Pondering over these pure and real
thoughts can occupy the soul for long periods of
time.
In the most basic stage of Rajyoga meditation,
first comes the realization: I am a soul, the
energy of consciousness made up of a mind, an
intellect and a collection of sanskars.
My eyes, ears, nose, mouth are just the organs,
which when used correctly, help me, the soul,
enjoy life. I now possess the knowledge that
will free me from my cage. I have the key,
spiritual knowledge is the key - I am a soul, a
being of light, 'a bird' which has the power to
fly freely. Knowing this, I am not bound by
physical laws. I can detach and fly at the speed
of a thought, to the soul world, where I can
easily experience my original state. I must
realize that it is impossible to have peace of
mind if I cannot detach from the body. I must
look upon all my family members, friends,
colleagues, also as souls which have come from
the soul world. We are all fellow souls.
Soul Sustenance
Do Love And Suffering Go Hand-In-Hand (Part 2) ?
We have the inner belief that love, worry,
fear and suffering go together. It is
difficult to transform (change) fear until we
eliminate that belief. You are love and you need
to share that love. Life is a sharing of love,
it is loving the body, loving oneself, loving
others, loving God, loving nature, loving work.
That energy of love in the end purifies us and
helps us to go forward. But while the belief
exists that love has to be linked to fear and
suffering, we will be blocked and will put a
brake to the flow of pure love. In the name
of love, we worry, we suffer and we are afraid.
Instead of helping from a place of freedom in
love, we help out of worry and fear, and in
doing so we stifle, control, depend, and the
other person feels their inner freedom
restricted. We do not let them be.
If we review our personal life and see the
moments when we have experienced most pain in
our lives, we realize that it is with the
people we have most loved, and that have most
loved us that we have suffered most. We
experience pain in a relationship of love, where
there is possession, control, submission and
dependence.Other times the pain is caused by
a loss that generates an inner emptiness. That
person filled me, they gave me wholeness, they
were the reason for my existence and now they
have either left me or they have gone. In the
second case, we wouldn't say that they "have
died", but rather that they have gone to another
level of existence i.e. the soul has taken a new
physical costume.

Message
for the day
The one who follows the right method gets easy
success.
Expression:
When
there is a clear aim of what has to be done and
how one has to go about doing it, then there is
accuracy in all words and actions. Whatever
effort is put in is according to the system and
is naturally accurate. So when there is accuracy
in all that is done, the fruit of that is also
right.
Experience:
When I have been following
the right method for whatever I have to do, I am
able to remain happy for the effort that I have
put in. I am also able to be patient and wait
for the fruit of my effort to come at its own
time. I am never in a hurry, so I always
experience success whatever the outcome of the
task may be.
