Mirror mirror can it be true?

When you meet people who behave in a way that you do not like can you accept that this is a lesson for you?

Hard to imagine maybe but everyone is in a very real sense a lesson for us.

It’s you coming back at yourself.

Nature or Karma arranges that we all receive back what we sow.

Try to let go of the anger or irritation and ask yourself what does this have to do with me?

Is it true do I behave like this too, do I, have I ever ?

What can I learn from this experience?

Try not be defensive check it out!

Old people


You see them sitting on benches.
You see them in supermarkets.
You see them on buses.
You see them in parks.
They fill the hospitals.

They all but disappear in winter.

In summer you see more of them.

In our modern world we have pushed them to the margins.

We do not want to be reminded by them, that we too one day will be old.

Yes, one day it will be your turn.

What will you be thinking while you sit on that bench?

Will you have peace of mind?

Love to me


A feeling of being at one with everything.

Nature saying hallo, a feeling of identity with nature.

Light more intense, colours brighter.

Birds louder, their songs heard and appreciated.

Excitement, thrill of increased awareness.

A real pleasure in being, no tiredness, no irritation, no doubts, no worrying, no nothing intrudes.

Peace and harmony in yourself.

Hindu belief


It is a widely held belief among Hindus that a person’s future pre-natal state and birth are molded by the last desire he may have at the time of death.

But this last desire, they say, necessarily hinges on to the shape, which the person may have given to his desires, passions, etc during his past life.

Hindus are not alone in the belief that the last thought is critical.

So watch it when you die that last thought might be your most important!

Money


How about this?

You do not need more money than you have,
because you are living now in this very moment with whatever amount of money you have.

No more, no less.

Once you realize that life moves on whatever money you have, you can also realize that you already have all the security you hoped that money would give you.

Money can be the bane of our lives until we realize that life moves on with or without it.

Justice


Recent scientific thinking says that we are hard wired for justice and survival.

Meaning that we need justice as a method of sustaining relationships with others, which is necessary for survival in our modern world.

Relationships are the locomotives of human affairs.

Justice is our means of checking that others are being fair with us.

Justice not based on truth is unsustainable over time.

This is one reason why we are so twitchy today.

Justice is under attack as never before by so many greedy groups.

Today we are more conscious and aware of the games the greedy play.

Justice is often deliberately confused with economic gain.

Intuitively we do not like injustice.

Will we find a way to promote and sustain justice?

Who knows?

Please ensure that there is justice in your own life and relationships.

Clutter


Clutter is a huuge problem for modern man.

Every waking moment is filled with noise, images and clutter.

Ever wondered what it does to you?

It forces you to use energy to resist and deflect this non-stop barrage.

Over time this leads to breakdown.

Crippled humans liter the modern landscape.

However we are trained to ignore these casualties.

If you do not want to become one yourself then cut the clutter in your life.

Bring quietness into your life.

As always it's your choice!

Memory in the dying


“At the last moment before death, the whole life is reflected in our memory and emerges from all the forgotten nooks and corners picture after picture, one event after the other.

The dying brain dislodges memory with a strong supreme impulse, and memory restores faithfully every impression entrusted to it during the period of the brain’s activity.

That impression and thought which was the strongest naturally becomes the most vivid and survives so to say all the rest, which now vanish and disappear for ever, to reappear only in Devachan.

No man dies insane or unconscious – as some physiologists assert.

Even a madman, or one in a fit of delirium tremens will have his instant of perfect lucidity at the moment of death, though unable to say so to those present. The man may often appear dead.

Yet from the last pulsation, from and between the last throbbing of his heart and the moment when the last spark of animal heat leaves the body – the brain thinks and the Ego lives over in those few brief seconds – his whole life again.

Memory in the dying - 2


After the death of the emotional body there is a second life review which is again conducted in reverse order, from when you die back to when you were born.

This review brings up all kinds of emotional involvement with the most powerful of our life events.

Where we have caused pain, suffering, hardship or any other negative experience to another we then experience this pain doubly ourselves.

This review is the basis for many popular ideas about hell and other judgment stories.

However the truth is that we ourselves are our own judges.

This experience excludes any karmic affects that you bring upon yourself, which must then be settled in full in future lives.
