How To Master Life!

Leave a comment

The process of Mastery, then, is one of acceptance. It is a quiet embracing of what is. It is a non-resistance. It is a gentle walking into the moment, knowing that it holds for us, always, what is best for us [in] all ways. – Neale Donald Walsch

one answer

If there was ever one answer to the question, ‘How should one live daily’, it would be: ‘Embrace what is’…

let it be = mastery

We must recognize what is and embrace it fully. Then, while being led by Spirit, we can do all that might be necessary and possible. It’s like swimming down the river, flowing with it, without thrashing about, gently changing course towards one edge or the other… In this state we’re peaceful and we don’t compare our progress with any other swimmer because we know that the river itself is headed to the Ocean…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a believer, therefore I let go…

How To Live A Fearless Life!

Leave a comment

Set your mind at work to solve its problems; teach your intellect to work for you; refuse longer to be dominated by fear like an unthinking animal.  – The Urantia Papers

thinking

Humans can think, we can discern, we can decide and we can act. We do this by using our minds of course. The mind as a faculty is not powered by the brain alone. There’s a component of it that comes from higher sources. That’s our access to the higher self, to better decisions and to happier living.

When will we use this amazing faculty while asserting control?

asserting control

We must remember that thinking allows us to step back and consider the landscape, the situation, sharpen or reverse a perspective, use experience to our advantage and act in faith! The thing that does the thinking, the decision making and the acting is not the mind, it’s the ‘I’, it’s us. That ‘I’ can assert control over runaway thinking, fear-ridden thinking or thinking that’s turning negative. We just have to realize we can assert control and then just do it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I use my mind as a tool!

How To Be Attached In A Balanced Way!

Leave a comment

This world is only a bridge; you may pass over it, but you should not think to build a dwelling place upon it.  – The Urantia Papers

attachment

It’s natural to be attached to all that’s good in our lives. But excessive attachment is also the cause of endless suffering. How can we maintain a balance so that we may be attached but not to a fault?

balance

Balanced attachment may be found by following two principles:

  1. Eternal Life: This principle states that life continues, forever. Personalities continue, forever. We should remember that everyone will always be there. We can relax and revel in God’s amazing plan!
  2. Selflessness: This principle states that we cannot be islands all on our own. We may not become selfish and stay away from relationships and attachments just to avoid getting hurt.

A life lived serving others while knowing that no one ever dies will yield great happiness without the debilitating suffering caused by overly much attachment. Similarly we ought to use material goods for everyone’s benefit and not as metaphorical personal trophies.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in balance!

Why We Are Never Alone…

Leave a comment

… I have come to show you that, while you are seeking to find God, God is likewise seeking to find you. – The Urantia Papers

a search

We are all on a search. It may not be for God, it might be to fulfill a deep desire that we don’t quite understand. We are constantly reaching for something. We know we’re on a journey but the path is surrounded with mist and we don’t quite know where we are…

a longing

God is our parent. She seeks us constantly, even when we don’t realize it. By finding us she completes a purpose quite unknown to us. But certainly it must be like a mother finding and hugging her baby! It’s a two-way street, we are not stranded on this planet alone and without direction. If we just pause and become still the constant love, guidance and inspiration that flows our way will become more evident!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware that God seeks me!

Life’s Little Secret!

Leave a comment

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you... – Buddha

secret?

So is there a secret to life or not? Here’s what a consultant would say, ‘it depends’! And it does depend, there’s no one big secret to life, but there are many little secrets that do guarantee progress and satisfaction to a human being.

fear not, only love

We are fearful creatures. It’s so ingrained in us and we’re so timid sometimes that it bears repeating a million times.

fear not. fear not. fear not.

But that’s a negative proposition. The brain can’t process it as easily, so here’s the perfect antidote to fear, in the form of a positive admonition!

only love. only love. only love.

You might wonder why I wrote the admonitions above the way I did? Saw that in a presentation today, just makes the point more clear.

Love, when placed firmly in the heart will not allow any other negative emotion to co-exist, as simple as that. Love for self, for others, for Life and for God, an all-encompassing love, is the only way, the only answer to any question and to any situation!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM an incarnation of LOVE!

How Can We Be Trusting And Why?

Leave a comment

When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just do what you know is right? – Questions…

who’s responsible?

Given the state of our world and the apparent lack of divine over-control it’s no wonder that we feel that we must figure it all out. We feel the pressure, we feel alone, we feel the fear, we think we must do it all and so we go ‘calculating’ and planning our lives….

childlike

There is another way to live. God does exist. He is our parent. We are looked after. There is a higher way. We are guided.

We must be childlike. We must trust. We must have faith. All is provided. With childlike curiosity we may observe and take advantage of all opportunities that are presented to us. Life can be peaceful and fulfilling!

How To Handle Debilitating Fear…

Leave a comment

…the big things and the real things of this world and the universe are on your side. The sun rises every morning to salute you just as it does the most powerful and prosperous man on earth. – The Urantia Papers

debilitating fear

Sometimes we experience debilitating fear. Fear of the unknown and of the future. During such times we tend to lose all power of reasoning and don’t quite know what to do. Our breathing becomes more rapid, life has no meaning, others don’t appear to be concerned and everything seems to be going wrong. There’s no light visible yet because we’re not even sure if we’re nearing the end of the tunnel. How should we handle such a situation?

child of god

Sooner or later we’ll notice that we’re letting ourselves sink deeper into this funk. Once that realization hits, we know that we can do something about it. Let’s start by breathing deeper, way deeper than normal, flush the body with some more life giving and mood-lifting oxygen! Then let’s remind ourselves that we are children of the creator of this Universe! Gosh that’s almost impossible to fathom, which is why it takes so many reminders before this Truth starts to hit home. We are a child of God. Therefore, ultimately, eventually, all is well. The ‘real things’ of this Universe are allied with us, we truly have nothing to fear, heck we don’t even need to fear fear anymore!
