Deeper

To go deeper into why we are and what we are requires us to be brave.

Why?

Because to know ourselves is to go where we have not been.

To venture into the unknown.

This is why so many will not do so.

They are afraid to go into the unknown.

If you want to go there then start by finding your fears.

Why?

Because journeys into the unknown are harder and more dangerous when we have fear.

Start from your earliest trauma, then work your way through to today.

Then a journey into ourselves is more possible.

Journeys into the unknown can be exciting and need not be frightening.

They do though need preparation as any expedition does.

Make no mistake the journey into ourselves is an expedition.

Prepare thoroughly before you try to go deeper.

'It would be utterly meaningless if we simply appeared on this earth for one short earth life and then vanished and no good came of it, or mayhap no retribution for our evil doings. . . .

We are here because we have been here before, because here we sowed seeds of destiny, and we come back on this earth to reap those seeds which we sowed. . . .

Our very being here . . . is a proof of reincarnation.

Otherwise we must say cosmic law put us here by chance.

And who believes that?

If fortuity governed this world we would see the stars in their courses and all the planets running helter skelter all over the cosmic spaces without law, without reason, without order, without intelligence, without system.'
(WoS 274-5)

Walking around

Time to walk around not drive, walk.

Seeing, smelling, feeling are all things we tend to miss in our motorised insulation.

Walk more this summer in the evening if it is too hot in the day.

Go where you do not normally go.

Walk around.

Your body will appreciate it too!

Life thoughts

You spend years getting an education.

You spend years qualifying for this or that.

Yet you expect to get human relationsips right with little or no thought.

How come?

Time to put as much energy into your relationships as you did that education.

Only then can you reasonably moan if you do not get it right.

Be fair on yourself!

Deep fear

Always there, deep down inside.

Influences everything.

Spoils everything.

Touches everything.

Won`t go away.

Well you are the owner of these fears.

No one else can talk to them only you can.

If you let them be then they will control your life.

Do not doubt this fear irrevocably changes your life.

Finding a way out is possible if you are wanting to move on.

We have talked about this before.

Here we want to be clear fear controls and dominates more lives than anything else on this planet.

Look inside is this true for you?

Get your fears out, look at them, let them go.

Letting off steam

Was in Paris when the French beat the Brazilians with what they all call an old team in the World Cup.

Apart from an amazing game the reaction of the Parisians was equally amazing.

Every horn, every person whistling, shouting, cheering along the streets down the subways everywhere.

No sleep for hours all the young out and about.

Great atmosphere even the next day.

Smiling people.

Energised by their team.

So few places to let off steam today.

So many controls.

So many restraints, so much fear.

Often it seems that the authorities are plain scared of their citizens.

Time they backed off a bit.

Go too far and all the controls become counter productive.

The world needs to let off steam now and again.

Nice to experience, make sure you let off steam sometimes too!

Confusion

Why is my life so confusing?

Nothing seems to be going anywhere.

It just seems like one long day after another with nothing changing.

For many this is life.

Moving on from here is possible.

Start with this.

Be clear about your job if it is unpleasant then take steps to move.

Before trying to move be clear what is truly important to you.

Then try to find a job in this area that is important to you.

Going into any job for the money alone is likely to lead back to more disappointment.

Be clear what is truly important to you.

Do you even know?

Take time to find out.

Knowing what is true for you is more important than you might realize.

'The Law of Karma is inextricably interwoven with that of Re-incarnation.

It is only the knowledge of the constant re-births of one and the same individuality throughout the life-cycle . . .

That can explain to us the mysterious problem of Good and Evil, and reconcile man to the terrible and apparent injustice of life. . . .

The eyes have it

Those old sayings about shifty eyes are true.

If someone cannot look you in the eyes then beware.

There are plenty of books that tell us about eyes.

Here we just want to mention one aspect.

The eye is the gateway to the soul so start observing the depth.

How far can you see in someone's eyes?

Learn to observe the depth, it is an indication of the level of consciousness evolution of that person.

Then there are more things to learn about eyes but let's just learn this first.

The depth is in the pupil.

Past

The Past!

What is it?

Nothing.

Gone!

Dismiss it.

You are the past of yourself.

Therefore it concerns you not as such.

It only concerns you as you now are.

In you, as you now exist, lies all the past.

So follow the Hindu maxim: "Regret nothing; never be sorry; and cut all doubts with the sword of spiritual knowledge."

Regret is productive only of error.

I care not what I was, or what anyone was.

I only look for what I am each moment.

For as each moment is and at once is not, it must follow that if we think of the past we forget the present, and while we forget, the moments fly by us, making more past.

Then regret nothing, not even the greatest follies of your life, for they are gone, and you are to work in the present which is both past and future at once.

So then, with that absolute knowledge that all your limitations are due to Karma, past or in this life, and with a firm reliance ever now upon Karma as the only judge, who will be good or bad as you make it yourself, you can stand anything that may happen and feel serene despite the occasional despondencies which all feel, but which the light of Truth always dispels.
