Where Do You Fit?

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. – Deepak Chopra

which piece?

We’re far more precious than we can imagine. And that’s because the very source of it all thought us up! We’re invaluable creations of this wellspring of Love that resides within each of us! Through love we can go in partnership with Him, to discover and live the part we play in this magnificent drama of eternal proportions…

many spots…

While there are no extra pieces in the puzzle, the puzzle itself is infinitely large and so there are more spots than pieces! Which means that we could fill more roles, be more things, do more than we can imagine and be extremely fulfilled while doing it! The universe is our playground, let’s banish all fear and burst forth in love to co-create with the Creator!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in a perfect spot!

Why It’s Important To Stay Awake!

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. – Henry David Thoreau

awaken to

We’re consummate sleep walkers! We walk around hypnotized, dazed into submission by the lethargy of our habits. As intelligent and creative children of the Universe it’s our prerogative to take life’s rein into our hands. We can do so by becoming awake to each moment…

infinite expectation!

Thoreau was such a poet! Imagine being awake to unknown but enthralling possibilities in our daily lives! Imagine having ‘infinite expectation’ for any moment that we dwell in! Imagine expecting that the finest moment for mankind is just around the corner! Imagine also expecting the best of any individual that we meet, and addressing only the divine within them!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM of Infinite Expectation!

Why We Must Become Master Minds!

Clean but the mirror and the message shines forth. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

what mirror?

We are born a tabula rasa in my opinion. It takes time and good nutrition to grow healthy bodies; the same principle applies to our minds. Our minds do get disciplined to varying degrees because of schooling and life itself, but we must enforce greater discipline.

master minds

We may discipline our mind to become its true master. Without mastering our minds we’re often at its disposal and therefore often:

  • We’re only happy when things work the way we expect them to
  • Other people control our mental well-being
  • We allow mental addictions to form
  • We’re at the whim of life itself

Stillness, concentration, breathing, mantra chanting and mindfulness are some of the ways we can be more disciplined thinkers.

Quotes - 2011, Stillness

What’s The Purpose Of Life?

…you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. – Romans 8:9

spirit

Our minds are confined within the perimeter of our bodies, or so it seems. According to revelation there’s also the spirit dimension. Some folks have ‘seen’ that dimension while others have experienced it without seeing it. One way to experience it is to find the peace (and joy!) that resides at our very center. Once discovered this experience becomes a great source of fulfillment. Discover it via Stillness.

so?

What would this Spirit have us do? Just sit and relish it? This peace (and joy) triggers pure love in our being. It’s the kind of love that’s not selfish and doesn’t discriminate. If we allow it, we start to see others in a very forgiving light, we accept them as they are and we’re led to serve while being conduits of this very love… Turns out that this is also a ‘Life Purpose’ we all share! We may discover it via Stillness but we deepen it through selfless and love-filled service to our brethren…

Gita, Quotes - 2011

A Spark of Eternity…

15.7 A spark of my eternal Spirit becomes in this world a living soul; and this draws around its centre the five senses and the mind resting in nature. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 15)

the spark

Krsna the supreme personality, according to The Gita, confidently declares that a fragment of divinity becomes us. We spring from that bit of eternity which is at our core. Let’s ponder the significance of this idea…

life purpose

We are thoroughly confused. We know not wherefrom we come and we know not whereto we’re headed. As we grow physically and mentally, is it not an imperative that we grow spiritually as well? Should we not question why we exist? Should we not attempt to understand the goal of life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM curious.

Quotes - 2011, Stillness

What’s The Meaning Of This Moment?

The more significance you give the moment, the more the moment has the opportunity to be significant. – Sunirmalya

the moment

This moment is significant. It’s important because we’re here, right now. It’s where our focus is, it’s where we’re present, it’s all we can experience. As we’ve heard; the past is history, the future is a mystery so all we have is right now, which is why it’s called the Present. It’s a present to us… what will we make of it?

meaning

We find meaning in life by attributing meaning to everything that happens to us. If someone becomes ill we try to understand why that occurred. We think about that person’s genes, lifestyle, possibly their Karma, what they might be attracting to themselves, the environment and many other influences. We try to understand an event the best we can by giving it meaning. So what’s our choice for this moment? It is a choice we make. It can be a ‘choice’ based on our conditioning or it can be a free-willed creation, in the moment. We can choose and create, it’s up to us what meaning we bestow to this precious and holy moment called Now.

Daily Affirmation: Today I create in the moment…

How To Guarantee Happiness!

2 Comments

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness. – Leo F. Buscaglia

expectation

You know and I know that our expectations of others are rarely realized! Ever wonder why? That’s not brain surgery either. We are us and they are them. They are their own people, they’re unique, they think differently and view the world quite differently. No wonder they deliver actions quite differently from what we expect! So what to do?

become real

Be real with self first. Know that we must work on self. Be forgiving when others don’t deliver as expected, they’re on their own journey. Cut them some slack, actually cut them infinite slack (the way to peace!)…

Be real with them. Genuinely love them, truly listen to them and without fear share self with them. If they don’t respond as expected (!), wait patiently, continue working on self!!
