The Pursuit…

Hear from the heart wordless mysteries! Understand what cannot be understood! In man’s stone-dark heart there burns a fire That burns all veils to their root and foundation. When the veils are burned away, the heart will understand completely… Ancient Love will unfold ever-fresh forms In the heart of the Spirit, in the core of the heart.Rumi

the core

That’s where it is, in the heart. The center of love, the center of being, where all is grasped, where all is resolved and where endless mysteries unfold…

from the heart

For true success lets become beings of the heart. Let’s operate from love, understanding, tenderness, care, patience, mercy and kindness. That is the ladder to what really matters, it’s the path which we must eventually follow. Let’s do so now…

Daily Affirmation: Today I move from my heart.

Receiving Help

We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey no one can take for us or spare us. –Marcel Proust

our journey

It’s true that no one can live our life for us even if we wanted that. That surely is part of the grand purpose of our existence. Experiencing life in our unique ways, becoming wiser, adding to God’s own experience in this eternal adventure that’s afoot, is some of the journey…

ask and receive

Turns out that even though we must live it ourselves and make our own decisions, help is available. The Universe is truly a synchronistic playground. We play, we fumble, we learn, we grow and we find our way. Just like children, we get help when we ask for it. Ask, and thou shall receive. That utterance by Jesus is literally true. What kind of help will we seek today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I ask for the help I need.

Bad Luck

Bad luck is universal. Don’t take it personally.  – Solomon Short

bad and good

Bad and good is often in the eye of the beholder and in the way the chips ultimately fall. What’s bad for us today may turn out to be good for a larger group of people than just you and I, even for you and I. Luck is often a matter of expectation. The thoughts and expectations that consume us daily resolve into our life today and tomorrow…

taking it personally

The world is not all about us. When others are unkind, it’s not about us, it’s mainly about them. We lash out at others, get angry and make judgments because of our own universe of thought and experiences. When good comes our way it’s ok to take it personally, although when it goes away we’ll feel sadder. When ‘bad’ comes our way, then certainly it’s not about us. Let’s accept reality for what it is and figure out a way forward…You are not alone.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my good luck.

Showing Up!

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

where are we?

Do we at this moment show up completely? Are all our faculties and attention focused on the current moment, the current project and possibly the person we’re engaging with? Why not?

mind, heart & soul

Showing up means to be fully present in mind, via the heart and at the soul level. When we do that we’re tuned into the full possibilities in that moment as well as each unique moment that continues to unfurl.

Daily Affirmation: Today I show up.

Stillness & Harmony

2.65 …for when the heart has found quietness, wisdom has also found peace.

2.66 There is no wisdom for a man without harmony, and without harmony there is no contemplation. Without contemplation there cannot be peace, and without peace can there be joy? The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2)

stillness

In the stillness that resides deep inside us can be discovered a peace, even a wisdom that is profoundly therapeutic. The search for this well of quietness is one goal worth pursuing, according to God in The Gita.

harmony –> peace –> joy

What brings harmony into our life? Once the mind enjoys harmony, deeper thinking becomes possible, the mind is now under our greater control. Once thoughts are more directed, the inherent peace seeks an outlet. Joy emerges from that peace.

Daily Affirmation: Today I discover joy by controlling my mind.
