What We Really Want…

Leave a comment

Who are you that is lost and trying to build a concept of yourself in order to be found?  – Michael A. Singer

searching

We are lost. We are constantly searching for an almost elusive self. That is what we truly want, to be in touch with our deep self. We look externally…

found

We can be found. Not by building a whole mental concept of who we are and what we do. But by stepping back and witnessing. We are pure consciousness that witnesses what happens. We’re not our thoughts and we’re certainly not what we buy.

How To Cultivate The Zen Mind!

Leave a comment

In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts there are few.  – Shunryu Suzuki

the beginner’s mind

Such a mind is childlike. One that sees things anew, doesn’t discount anything, has few regrets and worries not about the future. It lives squarely in each moment.

possibilities

Unencumbered such a mind is free to be creative and truly resourceful. This mind seeks possibilities, expresses emotions, resents not and exudes joy. What kind of mind do we have? Or does our mind have us?

How To Find More Meaning In Life!

Leave a comment

The more meaning we find in life, the more meaning we find in life…  – NamasteNow!

true happiness

True happiness is a product of finding enduring meaning in life. Meaning can certainly evolve and grow, but meaning we must have if we are to be happy campers on this planet! What is it that truly drives us? Are we being truthful when we say it’s the nice things like ‘family’, ‘relationships’, ‘fun’ etc.? Discovering what drives us will lead us to uncover meaning in our lives.

find meaning

We must spend time ruminating and acting on what drives us. An example is discovering that to be happy in a job we must work with like-minded individuals. Once we figure that out we ought to seek job opportunities that allow us to do just that. Once we start becoming happier at our jobs we are more likely to discover greater meaning in other aspects of life. One feeds the other, find meaning in one aspect of life spurs finding meaning in the rest of our lives! Let’s go seek more meaning!

The Real Reason Why Meditating Is Important!

Leave a comment

Worship is a personal communion with that which is divinely real, with that which is the very source of reality.  – The Urantia Papers

god speaks

God speaks to us. If we but listen he has a lot to share with us. He longs for our attention. He wants to collaborate with us. He wants to guide us. He’s seeking a partnership. Do we believe that? Will we show up?

stillness

If he speaks then how come we can’t hear him? Why is it so difficult to connect with God? We must practice stillness. If we can spend daily time becoming receptive to God then his voice will find its way to us. Are we willing to devote our attention to such a worthwhile effort?

The Secret To Peace…

Leave a comment

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God. – A Course In Miracles

what’s real?

Anything of value to the Universe/Creator is real. Anything of value exists because it ought to. We, in our essence, at our core, are real.

‘peace of God’

Once we realize that nothing about us or anyone else is truly threatened, we can rest easy. We can be at peace when we know we’re safe.
