Nowhere on this list is there interest or room for

Silence.
Sitting still.
Getting in touch with ourselves
Feeling harmony with nature.

Nowhere do we make time.

Time drives us and the days, weeks and months fly by.

One day you may wonder where did it all go?

Thought you had something to say.

Did you?

There is no tomorrow.

Get it right today.

Find time for yourself today.

Human Beauty

There is the American type, all symmetrical, production line, often vacant

There is the Italian or French, unusual features, often asymmetrical.

Then there is the media creation type which depends on hype for its credibility.

Then there is true beauty which has little to do with breast size or media creation.

That which causes us all to feel warm and appreciative.

We see it in little children that innocence, which is in itself beauty.

So when someone says that so and so is beautiful look twice is that beauty or just a pretty empty shell?

True human beauty is not just form it is that special something that speaks to us.

Sadly it is not a common sight.

Why is that?

New relationship

Amazing how when we meet someone new everything else flies out of our heads.

Our brains go walkabout and all we can think about is that new person in our lives.

Notice though how as we get older we are quick to discount the possibilities of lifelong bliss.

We have learnt through the pain of previous failed relationships.

Did we really, or do we still carry unreasonable fantasy demands?

Do we carry a list of criteria?

Do we judge?

Well do you?

Start afresh be honest

Be open.

Better to know up front than to build exaggerations and lies in from the beginning.
Be brave if it is going to work it will.

Have humour and let it go where it will.

Love is also letting go if it does not work.

Be strong enough to love.

Modern Christian heaven

There is no such place!

Can you even pretend to imagine for ever and ever?

Give you all you ever wanted and after a few months, years at the most and you would be going crazy.

And a billion years.

Ever and ever is childishness gone mad.

Did you never think about some of these things?

Start today.

Clue, the current teachings are not the original teachings.

Mmmmm - 23

'Sometimes he overshadows men of the proper psychological, spiritual, intellectual, and even physical temperament and works through them. These [are] Men of Destiny. They may not in themselves be even good men [but] they are used as instruments and tools to carry out, to bring to pass, certain things that are lying in the womb of time and must come out, and there must be a guiding spiritual power to see that the performing of these events shall take place without the complete wrecking of mankind. This is Nârada's work: a protector of mankind and also an avenger. . . .

Reality

Many people imagine their illusions to be reality.

So many live in illusion.

Illusion is just that false perceptions.

Let go of illusion, see clearly, drop your games.

Illusion stops your progress, stops life in a sense.

If you insist on illusion then don't be surprised if friends and acquaintances drift away.

Need a check on where you are?

Reverse your point of view.

As if you are looking in a mirror.

See how all the things you accuse others of are so often yours too.

Live with that for a while and if it fits then you know that you are out of reality.

Tiredness

For those on the go and under stress a minimum break of ten consecutive days per year please.

Our systems need this time to rejuvenate.

Our minds need this time to unwind.

Our partners need this time to recognise us again.

We need this time to know who we were.

Humour takes a while to recover.

Neglect this at your peril.

And no, you are not the only exception on the planet so just do this please.

Wait a minute!

I can't do this,

I can't do that.

It won't work.

I've already tried it.

So locked into our self-pity and depression that we cannot see or accept that it is us.

We have chosen to lock ourselves into our own perception of how things are.

Our very own illusion.

Not reality.

So choose to stay there if you feel more comfortable in your chosen illusion
of self-defeat.

Many do throughout their lives insisting that illusion is reality.

Or get help to step out and see things as they really are.

Move into reality.

Thought on love

The only true love is unconditional love, anything else is a negotiation, a deal an arrangement.

Example,I give you my beauty, my youth, you give me your money and security is one of the most common.

So back to unconditional love.

If one partner wants to leave and you truly love the other then you let go with love, whatever the pain.

Could you?

It's a tough thing to do and few of us are able, however that is the meaning of unconditional love.

Leave your list of demands at the door.

Enter love with open eyes and an open heart.

If the other cannot or will not meet you in the same spirit move on.

This person is not for you.

No rationalisations just move on.

How lucky we are when we find our incompatibilities early on.

Better living alone than living a lie.

Unconditional love is all there is.

Learn to live in unconditional love.

With or without a partner.

Karma

'Karma (Karman, Sanskrit) This is a noun-form coming from the root kri meaning "to do," "to make." Literally karma means "doing," "making," action. But when used in a philosophical sense, it has a technical meaning, and this technical meaning can best be translated into English by the word consequence. The idea is this: When an entity acts, he acts from within; he acts through an expenditure in greater or less degree of his own native energy. This expenditure of energy, this outflowing of energy, as it impacts upon the surrounding milieu, . . . brings forth from the latter perhaps an instantaneous or perhaps a delayed reaction or rebound. Nature, in other words, reacts against the impact; and the combination of these two -- of energy acting upon nature and nature reacting against the impact of that energy -- is what is called karma . . . Karma is, in other words, essentially a chain of causation, stretching back into the infinity of the past and therefore necessarily destined to stretch into the infinity of the future. . . .
