Travel

And you see how beautiful our world is

But travelling is one thing living in that beautiful place quite another

Quite another to live somewhere else

Where you have no friends

No knowledge of how to get things done

How to adjust to new norms, language, customs and so on

The effort can be worth it

But only if you are prepared to make the effort

Will you move in this life?

Or will you stay where you are?

Moving a few times shows us so many things about ourselves

Try it, unless you do you will never know those interesting things about yourself that moving shows

Your call

Wisdom

Is not something we come across very often

In our daily life the accumulation of knowledge seems to be the way to go

The more knowledge we have the better we can make our way through life

The easier we can navigate life's challenges

Or so it seems

Ever thought that much of our modern knowledge is based on assumptions

On lies

On half truths

Most official pronouncements are spun one way or another

At work truth is limited to fit corporate or organisational objectives

And as for religion the original teachings and truths are long gone

So why is the pursuit of wisdom so difficult?

Because wisdom is letting go of knowledge

Going beyond perceptions

So much of modern life is built on perceptions, illusion

Which is why we feel so dissatisfied

So empty inside wondering why life is not more

More than feeding the senses

Wisdom on the other hand is based on the truth and that is rare in today's world

Consider your own journey

Is it in pursuit of knowledge or wisdom?

Understanding ourselves

Is not easy

First thing to understand is that what we see and experience is through filters

The more filters the less we experience of reality/nature

Filters of fear, worry, preoccupation and tiredness

These filters affect what we see, feel, hear and taste

To remove these filters is in a sense our life journey

For many it is easier to ignore and to focus on man made distractions

For most it is not even known or suspected

That what we see, hear or touch is not the same for everyone

This is how it has always

It is the few that lead the way always

The few that are more conscious

The few that are prepared to experiment to find out for themselves

Nothing is given away we have to earn, deserve it.

So the starting point is to acknowledge that we want to grow throughout our lives

We want to understand the how and the why

Because then things make more sense

To feel nature and be at one with her is to remove the filters

Removing filters is done by seeking reality

Learning where we pretend

Learning where we distort

Finding the truth about ourselves

And as we do so nature becomes brighter

So we find ourselves increasingly at one with nature

We reach out towards our birthright

Removing those filters if you will

Understanding ourselves is our life journey

Arrogance

So many people are arrogant today

For what?

Makes them feel superior

In what way have they reason for this, more money?

Somehow this is being confused with superiority

A truly superior being will certainly not be arrogant, because this would be a contradiction in terms

Truly superior beings are humble.

Inferior beings are not

Have pity for inferior beings with inflated egos based on money and nothing else

Do not even wonder about how they obtained their money

That's another story

Often not a very pretty one

Just understand that arrogance is the cover of fools

Only fools go around considering themselves superior

Let arrogant people be

Nature will take care of them over time

Nicer

And we can always be a little better too

.

Nicer can be your ongoing experience

If you choose to lighten up

Don't take yourself so seriously

Smile more

Simple idea

Get honest with yourself

All of us hide things particularly from ourselves

Find your fears get them out in the light of day

Choose to let them go

Bring different elements into your life

Let go of some old habits

Life can get nicer

We can always be nicer

Truth and how we know

But how do you know that it’s true?…………………………..

For thousands of years, one initiate after another, one great hierophant succeeded by other hierophants, has explored and re-explored the invisible Universe, the worlds of the interplanetary regions, during long periods when his conscious soul, united to the spiritual soul and to the ALL, free and almost omnipotent, left his body.

The mysteries of life as well as death, of the visible and invisible worlds, have been fathomed and observed by initiated adepts in all epochs and in all nations.

.

They have studied these during the solemn moments of union of their divine monad with the universal Spirit, and they have recorded their experiences.
.

Thus by comparing and checking the observations of one with those of another, having been able to ascertain that the visions of adepts who lived 10,000 years ago are invariably corroborated and verified by those of modern adepts, to whom the writings of the former never do become known until later --- the truth has been established.

A definite science, based on personal observation and experience, corroborated by continuous demonstrations, containing irrefutable proofs, for those who study it, has thus been established.

HPB, CW V 50-51

This was written in the late 1870's and is as true today as it was then.

Yes there are beings who have gone beyond time and space

Yes there is such a thing as truth

Yes it is known and in your soul you know this too

No questions

Are asked if you have a really good best friend

They will be there when needed

Just action for whatever it is needs doing

No money can buy such support

Which is why we value true friendship so highly

Then later something happens and that friend is no longer

Leaving us with a void

A loneliness

We adjust and move on

However the price we pay is that nobody else is likely to take their place

Because such friendships are built over time usually when we are young growing up together

As we get older we meet and trust others less easily

Partners often fill the void but in a different way

Best friends are special so make the effort to keep yours because once that rift appears it is unlikely that another can take their place

Slowing magnetic field

Yes our planet has one

NASA's website shows a map indicating that it has been slowing for the last century and a half now

And from time to time it reverses

This can be anywhere from 5000 to 50 million years

What is clear though is that we are headed for one

Unfortunately there is not too much memory around as to what happens when it does flip

So the truth is we do not know

Also we have increased magnetic storms at the moment

Not too much knowledge about the full effects of them either

So if you find yourself unusually tired or twitchy then it just might be something related to this

Not everything is global warming

Ever thought it might be the other way around?

That global warming comes from the solar energy effects on our planet?

Is in fact just a function of these solar energies
.
Time to think for yourself

Inform yourself.

Yoga practice

Today in the West there are many practitioners of yoga

whose goal is to restore physical health and alleviate where possible,

some of the unusually stressful conditions people are experiencing in these crucial times.

We would be well advised, however, to stop short before undertaking sophisticated breathing and other techniques that could,

if unwisely pursued,

interfere with the proper functioning of the pranas.

Prana is a Sanskrit term for the five or seven “life-breaths” that circulate through and maintain the body in health

In other words normal yoga exercise fine

Special breathing techiques not fine

Anticipation

Of the good sort

Is really neat

Why not build some into your life?

Living life in a rut is how many pass their lives

No real anticipation of anything special life is just endless repetition

.

Change yours build in some anticipation

.

Excite yourself

Do something new

Go somewhere different

Once a month do it

You are not going to find anticipation if all you do is repeat things you already know or do

Create anticipation of the good sort in your life.
