Light or light?

Light as in feather or light as in luminosity?

Light though in modern parlance can have another meaning.

As when we say she has seen the light meaning she understands.

Usually as in suddenly, instantaneously.

So?

Think about light.

What is it to you?

Feather, luminosity or getting it?

Get what?

What life is really all about.

Do you get it?

Do you get what life is really all about?

Why are you here?

What for?

And don't say it has no purpose or reason because it does.

Do you get it?

So much love

Sometimes we can feel so much love.

It just comes over us in a wave.

All else is absent.

Stay in this moment it is so precious.

Love takes many forms, however this wave experience is only for those who can go beyond themselves.

Beyond control of their emotions that is

If you do not know this feeling and would like to then learn to go beyond yourself.

Open to others, practice giving your love to those in need.

Try living from your heart not your mind.

Understand heart is where love resides not in mind.

Live through your heart and who knows one day that wave feeling may visit you.

Competition

Sometimes one has to say who cares?

Does it really matter?

Five minutes after the result its history.,

The hype moves relentlessly on to the next must not miss competition.

Maybe time to say so what and move on yourself.

To something with softer values maybe.

Something that both parties win.

Something shared maybe?

Are you getting bored with competition?

Lying

Many people lie.

Basically this is a dumb strategy.

Why?

Because once you start lying you have to keep doing so.

Evil people today often do not bother to hide that they are lying.

Witness the so called spin professionals.

Professional liars.

That is their business, sorry people.

It is a dumb strategy to lie for many reasons

It increases the tension in you, this tension is cumulative.

It demands that you are forever pretending this and that.

Deceiving friends and others alike.

Over the period of a life the wear and tear caused by lying is devastating both physically and psychologically.

Liars have no morality no ethics.

So what?

So they cannot even respect themselves except by telling more lies to themselves to justify their lies.

They have few friends because the lying will out.

Empty people, living empty lives.

Don't lie, it's a poor strategy.

All the same

Sometimes it seems that others have more luck, more scope, more toys.

Maybe they do.

No matter who you are, whatever your circumstances we all have the same basic tests.

Nature has designed things to have us experience the same basic trials over the course of our lives.

That rich kid may appear to have it made, however look deeper and you will see not so, just different clothes and settings, the challenges are the same.

Do not waste time on jealousy or envy.

Focus on being the best you can every day.

You have what you need to grow, to learn your lesson, at every instant in your life, whatever the scenario.

This might not be the same as what you want.

Too bad, life is about what you need not what you might want.

Live each day consciously learning something new each day.

Do not pay attention to those who have more things than you, life is about growing consciousness not collecting things.

Grow and learn every day.

Deaf

I told you

I didn't hear you.

You didn't listen, you never listen.

But I didn't hear you.

And so on

What is going on here?

Something that needs sorting obviously,but what?

Our attention is not there, then where is it?

Too often when we are familiar with each other we fail to really listen, to really pay attention.

What to do?

Stop your mind from thinking other things, focus.

Respect each other listen, make an effort to understand, ask if you didnt hear, ask again if the answer is not clear.

It is important because over time it can lead to bigger problems.

Make the effort today, pay greater attention.

Really listen.

Still out of work

As the weeks go by it is easy to go down.

Do not, it's very hard to come back up, just take our word for it you do not want to go there.

Whatever your difficulty keep your self-respect and work to change your situation.

No one will do this for you.

This is your fight, your life, not mine, yours.

Every night map out what you will do next day.

Be disciplined map out realistic things to be done.

Do something to advance finding a job,

Do some things to keep your self-respect, clean your space, your shoes it does not have to be a big thing.

if you are older then recognise that no one wants to hire an older person.

Creating income is what you have to do.

Do some things every day to find a solution.

Let your pride go, look at everything.

This is your life right to the last day so live it don't wimp it!

Down the road

Is an expression used in motorcycling when you throw your bike and yourself down te road

In other words something very uncomfortable.

Many times we are tempted to throw ourselves down the road too.

Not in a literal sense but in a figurative sense.

Do not, the time and pain are not worth it.

Do something very active sport, whatever will take your mind off the situation.

Take a shower, let it go.

Sleep on it one night.

Buy time.

Do not put yourself down the road

Amazing strength

In times of extreme emergency we are capable of extreme performance.

We can pull or lift weights that are beyond our ability during nornal times.

We can last longer in difficult situations.

We can perform amazing feats.

Only when we have the will to do so however.

Otherwise we are swept away.

What are you in an emergency?

Do you hang on?

Do you let go?

Understand it is your will that produces the amazing performance.

Examine your reason to be now before a test comes your way.

Somewhere to go

Ever noticed how your free days are more agreeable when you have somewhere to go?

Modern man has a problem with just being.

We feel a need to keep doing something.

Live life on your terms, chose where you go.

Always have somewhere to go.

Then find the energy to go, when you feel that urge.

Having somewhere to go gives meaning to your free day.

Enjoy.

Vision thing

Watching people scurrying around heads down, faces serious, no smiles.

Just a big city day

Got to go here, there, hurry, work work work.

No vision, no thought just survive.

Well OK that's one way.

Excuse me but at he end of all your days what was it all about?

If you have a vision then at least you are moving towards something.

Feels good to have a vision try it.

It is not about arriving its having a purpose a direction......a vision thing!

Separation

Standing alone in the line waiting your turn.

All separated one from another.

Quietly wondering why?

Why is it like this?

Why do we spend so much time separated one from another?

It is up to you to change this.

Find your smile, move towards what you like, move away from what you don't.

We have more in common than we realise.

Communicate we can learn from everyone we meet.

Chose to like people.

Chose to be friendly.

Question?

Many of us have a major unspoken question.

What is it all about, this world, this life, this madness?

Why am I here, what am I meant to be doing?

It can be addressed through study and personal research.

Our ancestors left many clues, they were no fools.

Some special ones knew the truth about this question.

The perennial wisdom is just that perennial.

The truth can be found, it is up to you.

Yes, it is possible.

Look in the teachings about the perennial wisdom.

Money

You have enough or you don’t.

That is your reality.

If you have enough then make sure it works and circulates because money is just energy in another form.

Money that is sat upon will not bring happiness.

Money that circulates just might!

Now if you do not have enough you have two choices.

Go and earn more, or accept that you do not have enough.

Either way wasting energy on worry will not change anything.

Accept reality and get on with your life.

Money is not life it usually obscures life.

Something nice

We all like something nice.

Without exception.

So do something nice for someone you have not done anything for recently, maybe never.

Just take the time, we all like something nice................. so you start first.

Why?

Because the more you move from selfishness to altruism the better your karma

We all create our own future so doing something nice is a smart investment.

Not only that it makes that someone feel good too.

Do something nice for someone today.

Disappointment

It comes to all of us.

How do you handle it?

Usually our ego is hurt.

We feel down.

We overreact, we go on and on.

We burden others with our story.

When disappointment hits it often comes out of the blue.

Learn to accept it.

Accept that this is your reality.

Let it go, put it behind you.

Do not hold on to it.

Move on with your life.

Disappointment is also life, accept this.

Pleasure

Pleasure is as we find it, this for some that for others.

Just as well we do not all like the same things.

One thought though can you find pleasure when you want or does it come unexpectedly?

Increase your chances, try being open to new things or even old things but in new ways.

Pleasure comes and goes but thinking of others increases the chances.

So think of others and you might well find more pleasure coming your way.

The trick is that the effort we put in often determines the pleasure we get out.

Make someone happy today, do it.

Out of work

Many of us will experience this.

Numbness is often a reaction, a sort of disbelief.

Self-pity can set in.

So called friends disappear, people do not really want to hear your story.

It is your reality so keeping your self-respect is critical.

You are unlikely to impress a potential employer if you are down and defeated.

Did your sense of humour desert you as well then go and get it back!

Life is not a job, job is part of life.

Life is not money, money is part of modern life.

Get in touch with your real values, those things you could not do while you were working, time to smell the flowers again.

Use your time wisely, spend time finding a solution to your situation, do something every day to advance this.

Give time to yourself consider what do I really want to do with my life?

What is truly important to me?

Find what is truly important to you then figure out how to make money from this activity. Not the other way around.

Good luck!

Partner care

Those of us with partners experience disharmony from time to time.

Some explode, some sulk, some cry, some even run away.

Whatever the issue there is something wrong.

Usually talk will not help at such a time of tension.

However to be there is usually helpful if not easy.

Notice how when one partner has a problem often the other is in a calmer state.
Indeed can observe the anger or violence.

Be smart let your partner's emotion pass.

Then find the correct time to talk about the cause if this is clear to you.

Spend some thought to ask yourself what is really being said here?

What is not being said?

How can we remove ego and find something helpful?

Am I missing something?

Are we able to join each other in reality?

Am I making enough effort?

Well are you?

Physical pain

Life brings pain.

There is no one who goes through life who does not experience pain.

There are of course many types of pain.

Physical pain.

Emotional pain.

Psychological pain.

The last two we will leave for another day.

Just talking about physical pain, of which we can experience many shades, from toothache, to child birth, to broken limbs.

Nature brings us physical pain to activate our systems and to let us know what is going on.

Whatever the physical pain learn this pain, go into every part of it. explore it in detail.

Why?

Because should you have the misfortune to have pain without the possibility of painkillers or morphine then learning your pain is one way to come through it.

Go into every detail, really learn it and if you can do this then something happens.

The pain feels to get less.





Pain is part of life be prepared!

First thought

What is the first thought that comes into your head each day?

Capture this thought, do not change it, judge it, or distort it.

This thought is clean, clear and useful.

Learn to capture that first thought each day.

In fact go one step further and go to sleep looking at anything that worries you.

Ask that you wake with some help or ideas.

That first thought might not look connected however if you examine it often you will see something, even if it does not seem possible.

Try it, act upon it.

Capture that first thought!

Hypnotism

Today there are plenty of people who practice hypnotism.

Warning!

Hypnotism is the manipulation of another human being.

It is the subjugation of their will to that of the hypnotist.

It also suppresses your personal will power, which can lead in the future to disorders such as sleep disorder, depression, feelings that you are not the same person.

It creates negative karma for the hypnotist.

Leave hypnotism alone.

10% revisited

When we talked about keeping 10% energy in reserve to deal with life problems this is what we meant.

If you let your emotions run away with you when confronted by problems then you will be venting energy thereby making good decisions more difficult and losing lots of energy.

If on the other hand you learn to keep your balance, to be in equanimity then you will have a better chance of dealing with the difficulty.

Said another way try to be the observer of yourself.

Observe yourself in the situation without becoming emotionally involved.

You lose little energy and can then draw down that ten percent we were talking about.

It is not kept inside you it is a reserve that we draw down from the Universe.

This resource is limitless once we know how to access it.

To draw it down relax and let your mind still from thinking.

Imagine pulling energy into your body and that it courses through you.

Easy to say and very difficult to do.

However this is certainly a life goal worth pursuing.

And yes, it is possible!

Alone

We are all alone and we are never alone.

Depending on our level of consciousness depends our feeling of aloneness.

The more evolved the more comfortable we are.

Why?

Because the release of fear in us marks our progress towards the light, towards nature if you will.

As we move towards the light so we understand our part and role in nature and thus identify with nature as our home, our all, love.

Fear propels us in the opposite direction, toward paranoia, isolation, depression, breakdown.

So keep working to understand and grow.

There is no finishing line just a spiral of understanding or misunderstanding, up or down.

Go for the light!

Smile this is your reality, now, today, use it wisely!

Anger

Does not just come and go.

Anger is stored inside us.

At a deep level it is our fears.

Uncoil it, let it go.

Find the things that make you angry, that push your buttons.

Look at them and see how they drive you.

Find the source of your angers.

Time to live in peace, anger does nothing for any of us.

Get the anger out.

Can love last?

Only with work and effort.

Like anything else in life our chances of success are directly proportional to the effort we put in.

Put effort into your relationships.

Be aware.

Be sensitive.

Surprise each other with little gestures.

Find new ways to tell each other you care.

Give each other attention so that you both can grow.

Repetition without growth leads to stagnation.

So try to find areas of mutual interest, these change over time so check that you both still care.

Bring love to all that you do with and for each other.

Ten percent reserve

If you buy a house then it is prudent to keep some money in reserve for contigencies.

If you need to buy contents for the house then it is also prudent to keep some money for contingencies.

In business and many other activities we also reserve contingencies.

So what reserves do you keep for life contingencies?

Ten percent?

Most of us keep nothing in reserve so that when life's problems hit we find ourselves angry, hurt or exploding.

Imagine that you have a reserve energy contingency so that when things go wrong next time you can relax and just draw down on that mental reserve.

It's just a way of looking at things however it just might take the frustration out of the next life problem that comes your way.

Just a thought!

Tired, tired, tired!

Most of us are tired.

Modern life does not let up much.

Try to cat nap, learn to snooze.

Try to stop thoughts circling around in your mind.

Push the heavy ones away and bring pleasant ones in.

Go to bed early one or two nights a week.

Live in this moment now, stay in it.

Tired is as we let it be.

If we find life positive we feel less tired.

So find the positive in your life.

Be less tired.

Smiling helps too!

Softer please

When in disagreement often our voice level rises along with our blood pressure.

How nice if we didn't have to go through such tense situations.

Do you ever look back at your "outstanding misunderstandings"?

We mean that often we do not clarify our comments or remarks and all too often the other party lets them go while holding on to a particular interpretation of the remark.

Bingo!

Next time you have a disagreement out comes the "you said................" followed by "no I did not, I meant................"

Too late!

The damage has already been done, and it is hard to unpick the misunderstanding and so all too often this gets added to the list of unreasonable things we have done to each other.

What to do?

Be clear with each other and ask each other "what did you understand me to have said"?

Be clear and if possible be softer too, it makes for easier understandings.

Soulless beings

There are two kinds of soulless beings on earth: those who have lost their higher ego in the present incarnation, and those who are born soulless, having been severed from their spiritual soul in the preceding birth.

The former are candidates for avichi or hell; the latter are "Mr Hydes", whether in or out of their human bodies, whether incarnated or hanging around as invisible but potent ghouls.

In such men, cunning develops to an enormous degree, and no one except those who are familiar with the doctrine would suspect them of being soulless, for neither religion nor science has the least suspicion that such facts exist in nature.

Many prominent people are soulless, which is why they have only interest in their own power and gratification.

For such people life is the empty pursuit of more, just more.

Become aware of the reality around you.

Notice the soulless beings in our world.

Magic

There is no such thing as magic.

Just phenomena we do not understand.

So yes, for us at our level of consciousness there is magic because there is plenty we do not understand.

From homeopathy to cold fusion there are plenty of puzzles left for us to solve.

These are our collective problems.

Individually we also have problems in our lives.

Often our approach to our personal problems does not work.

Time to bring in some magic and see if that will help.

Bring magic into your life and see what that does to your problems.

Throughout history the biggest magic has ever been the magic of love.

Practice your own magic today.

Try the magic of love on your problems.

Let go of mind and open to magic.
