Plant the Seed of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as
is our consciousness so is our life. Let your
first thought of the day simply be peaceful.
Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you
will gather the calm.
Fly High
Just as the bird has to find the courage to let
go of the branch in
order to fly, so we also must let go of our
branches if we are to know
the exhilaration of soaring to the highest
potential of our life. The
branches we hold to are our inner attachments -
our beliefs, ideas and
memories. And then there are the outer
attachments - people,
possessions, positions and privileges are a few.
But as long as we hold
on to them we will live in fear (of letting go
and loss) and we will
never be free. And just watch those birds, by
letting go of one branch
they are able to spend the rest of their life
alighting on a million
other branches, and they enjoy the view from
each. Are you flying and
soaring in your life, or are you stuck on one
branch, cursing others as
they fly past. Go on, try it ...let go!
Cleaning Up The Cupboards Of Your Mind
When you are capable of relaxing, controlling
your thought patterns and concentrating, you can
reach deeper and more subtle states of
meditation from which you connect with your
inner potential for peace and purest love (the
positive) and on the other hand, you clean out
unnecessary memories (the negative). You reach
the spiritual power that allows you to transform
habits that are not very healthy and the beliefs
that sustain them. Out of love and peace you can
purify and clear the turbulent (rough) waters
that there are at times in the subconscious.
When you meditate, you review whether there
is something that has influenced you and you
clean it out, so that only the highest, the most
positive, the most beautiful, remains inside you
and comes out of you. Meditation and
reflection help you to clean out the register
that, from the subconscious, brings about
inadequate thoughts and uncontrolled emotions.
Cleansing (cleaning up) in depth requires a
clear purpose, being prepared to let go of the
past; cleansing the wounds and pain accumulated
in the store of your inner being; facing the
present with dignity, with wisdom and
visualizing, with confidence and trust, a future
full of positivity.

Soul Sustenance
Do Love And Suffering Go Hand-In-Hand (Part 3)?
When there is too much pain we cannot lean
back into our true power and experience our
energy of love. Only the power of pure love,
unconditional love or love of God, can help us
to get rid of the suppressed pain inside the
subconscious.When you live through a
situation that causes pain in you, you have to
love yourself, stabilize yourself and enter into
silence. Observe that pain without being afraid
of it. Observe it to let go of it and understand
what it is that it brings about in you.
The answer, generally, is connected with others:
* He/she doesn't love me anymore and that's why
I feel pain, * Things are not like they were
before, * The company of this loved one doesn't
give me the benefits it was giving me before.
If a person loved you and now has stopped loving
you, does that make you feel pain? Or is it your
own expectation and your desire for that person
to keep on valuing you or loving you like before
that trap you in pain? Is it that you don't
accept change? The truth is, we bring on
suffering ourselves. If you don't want to make
yourself suffer, starting from now you do not
have to bear any more suffering. Nobody can
wound you or can cause you pain, except if you
allow it. So how do you allow it? By being a
vacuum that sucks in everything of the other,
the good and the bad, and you suffer. It is
expectations from our loved one that make us
vulnerable to the experience of suffering.
Message for the day
To have the spirit of sharing is to be
constantly happy.
Expression:
There are lots of resources
in each one's life that can be shared with
others. The more there is the consciousness of
giving there is the ability to give and share
these inner resources with others. New treasures
are discovered and used for the benefit of all
and also for the self.
Experience:
There is constant
satisfaction in my life when there is the spirit
of giving. There are no expectations from
others, but only an awareness of what I have.
Life becomes more and more satisfactory and I
feel richer for having given unconditionally.
There are also constant good wishes that I
receive from others.
