Self Observation

Self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.George Gurdjieff

hypnotic state

Our lives are lived in a state that’s best described as hypnotic. Often we don’t catch a breath in our daily super busy lives. We’re not aware of where the day went, what we set out to do, what we noticed along the way if anything. There’s not likely to be a moment when we sat down and reflected on what’s going on, no chance we actually smelt a rose!

catch and hold your breath

Catching a breath is actually a great place to begin. Find times during the day when you can breathe deeply for a couple of minutes. Even hold your breath for a bit and let all the oxygen be absorbed into your lungs. Now look around, notice where you are, what you set out to do and collect your thoughts. What kind of thoughts are you creating?

Daily Affirmation: Today I am aware of my body, actions, thoughts and purpose.

Love?

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin P. Jones

from where?

What does it mean to have love in your life? Love can come from near relatives including a life partner, it can come from other relatives and dear friends including pets, it surely comes from parents, it can come from non-physical sources such as God and even from deep inside you. Love is also ignitable via things (including nature) that are beautiful.

manifestation

To know what love is, one must practice it, feel it and give it away every day. If you don’t do that daily then something vital will be missing that day. Don’t let that happen to you. Experience it daily.

Daily Affirmation: I am love. I will be love, today.

Hoping For…

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.Epicurus

desire

Desire is a double-edged sword. It can lead us to what we truly need and will find fulfilling. Or it simply prolongs the torture, the torture of the never-ending quest to acquire. Are we hoping for what we already have? When you have a desire, pay attention, what deeper need are you trying to fulfill?

now

What we have now or what we are now, is the result of all our thoughts and work from the past. The present moment is all important, that’s all there is.

Be here, now. Enjoy.

Daily Affirmation: I am here, now. I have now, all I have dreamed of.

Certainty About God

Increasing happiness is always the experience of all who are certain about God.The Urantia Papers

ultimate safety

time to focus on what’s real

  • Spend time on what will truly fulfill you, your Life Purpose
  • And things that count for the longer run, like people and relationships

Do To Others, Do Unto Yourself

He that does good to another does good also to himself.Seneca

the fallacy

We sometimes live a fallacy that when we have a tiff with someone it’s ok to not make up and just break the chord. Actually not making up and clearing the air hurts us more. The resentment and the negativity does quite a number on us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

right action

The reverse is true of course. Any good that we do, to others, we do to ourselves. How you might ask? It’s in the vibrations we create, we generate positive vibrations when we do good, the same vibrations affect us too.

Daily Affirmation: Today I am good. In my goodness, I create positivity that impacts one and all.

Right Action

There is no power greater than right action in the present moment.Yoga Vasistha

right action

What is it? That which is optimum for right now, given all circumstances and antecedents. That which will produce the greatest good for you and all concerned.

present moment

Is the culmination of all that has occurred in the past and is the launching pad for what is yet to come. It’s right now, the most powerful moment of time there is. If we execute the right action in the current moment, only good things can come from it.

Daily Affirmation: I am present. I’m connected to the source of all good. I will act and do what’s right.
