What’s The Original Sin?

Leave a comment

Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect. Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don’t. – Richard Bach

the original sin

When we limit others and ourselves we commit the ‘original sin’. How? One example is when we think we know ‘Truth’ and that it’s our job to enlighten others with our knowledge. Sometimes we forget that the ‘Is’, God, reveals itself and expresses itself through everyone and through all that we see. This happened not just in the past (via messengers and holy texts) but also continues to happen today, now! Why? Because God is a living god and his expression through his creation is never ending…..

imagine

The antidote to the original sin is to open our minds, imagine great things and allow others to do the same. Let’s not limit others (and us) by pre-conceived notions and small thinking. Our future and the world’s salvation depends on it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I imagine big!

Why God is God…

Leave a comment

7.6 All things have their life in this Life, and I am their beginning and end.

7.7 In this whole vast universe there is nothing higher than I. All the worlds have their rest in me, as many pearls upon a string.

7.8 I am the taste of living waters and the light of the sun and the moon. I am OM, the sacred word of the Vedas, sound in silence, heroism in men. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7)

origin

We live in time and space. Time appears to move in one direction, forward and space appears to be expanding at all times. That’s highly suggestive of all things having originated at a time far distant in the past. Origins beg a cause. That ‘first cause’ can be termed God. According to The Gita, all Western Religions and many other belief systems, God is the ultimate person. He knows and he sees, just like we can. He created it, and us all, for a grand purpose…we can relate with her directly and one-on-one!

the highest

The highest ideals and the highest qualities are reflective of the creator. All creation marches towards perfection by accentuating and experiencing these ideals and qualities. That then is also a purpose of it all. God is alive and well, rejoice, fear not and ‘be exceedingly glad’.

That Which We Must Conquer…

Leave a comment

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. – Sir Edmund Hillary

never the external

All that we dislike, all that irritates us, all that we desire and want has an origin in our inner life. It’s how we interpret life and circumstances that determines how we do and how we feel about self and others. So the quest for peace, for happiness, towards fulfillment and self-realization must begin and end within.

inner life

Our inner life is therefore paramount. Nothing more and nothing else. What does that mean? It’s all about…

  • How we view self and others
  • What irritates and pleases us
  • What’s important to us, our life purpose
  • How we can stay happy and selfless

How’s our inner-life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware of self.

Why There’s Nothing to Fear…

Leave a comment

The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. – A Course In Miracles

why we fear

Beyond biological fear that’s handed down generationally, there’s the everyday fear that we often live with. Where does it come from? There are many shallow and peripheral reasons why we feel fear. These can be fear of losing health, wealth, family and the like. If examined at deeper levels the reason is exactly what the amazing quote above highlights. We fear life and its circumstances because we fall for the illusion that it’s all up to us!!

freedom from fear

All we see and all we experience is within the über paradigm we may call God. We literally move and have our being in God. Nothing goes unnoticed in the universe. If we believe that we’re fully responsible for us, we’ll always be disappointed because we cannot ensure our ultimate well-being. We’re simply not capable enough. We can instead rely on God as an essential anchor through-out our day and our lives. Doing so is the pre-requisite to a happy, peaceful, fulfilling and fearless life! Try it.

How To Fly…

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. – Henry Ford

The world is being buffeted with hard situations. Let’s remember that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel and that there’s a silver lining to just about every situation. Let’s learn from the Japanese people on how to stay stoic and civilized even when the worst happens!

flight

All will be well. We must have faith and believe that; then continue to move in a forwardly direction. That’s the way out, that’s what’s required, let’s keep at it, because we’ll have no choice then, but to fly!

‘Getting Naked’ and the Law of Attraction II

Leave a comment

Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow
your mind. – The Secret

disappointed

I was disappointed at first because I was hoping I’d get a copy of his new book, Getting Naked. However I quickly recovered and was very thankful for getting this book, I knew I needed it! The session concluded and I was fortunate to also have been invited to a smaller group to discuss topics with Patrick Lencioni later in the day! I’ll be sharing more about the book Getting Naked itself in another blog….

perfection

The group turned out to be just about 6-8 folks! Imagine that, getting time to spend with a famous author and executive coach in such a private setting! I met Pat and chatted for a little bit and got my book autographed by him! At the conclusion of this event two things happened that reminded me of the law of attraction and were triggers for me to write these 2 blogs! The organizer came by and started handing out books to everyone present. She had only one copy of Getting Naked, I got it, and it was already autographed! Not just that; I got to chat with Pat once more and asked him questions regarding my corporate coaching engagement, where his name had first come up! He gave me some excellent tips which pretty much designed for me the approach I was going to take with my corporate client. In my mind the Universe/God had given me everything I had needed. I hadn’t sweat about any of this. I had essentially held in my mind what I thought I needed and had kept doing what was necessary while being grateful for the present. I also implicitly held the belief that God takes care of it all, not me. That’s it, that’s The Secret in action. Btw this is one small example of how this universal principle works in my life and in yours!

Daily Affirmation: Today I set big meaningful goals for myself.

‘Getting Naked’ and the Law of Attraction I

1 Comment

The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream. – The Secret

what

Several weeks ago I was with a corporate client (I do life and executive coaching) and we ended up talking about Patrick Lencioni’s ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’. I knew of the book and some of the concepts inside it but hadn’t read the book. I made a mental note to myself that I needed to read the book and research the material. Each week after that I reminded myself that I still needed to do that! Basically I was focusing on the ‘what’ I needed and not the ‘how’. I hadn’t quite figured out a strategy yet as to how I would get the book. Some books I borrow from our library, others I just buy for my Kindle.

event

A couple months ago I had signed up for a speaker event at work, it was actually Patrick Lencioni coming to talk about his new book Getting Naked! I showed up and because Patrick wanted the session to be interactive he offered a free book to the first 3 people who asked a relevant question! The whole session was fantastic so it was easy for me to stand up and ask the first question. After that exchange Patrick literally threw a book at me, lo and behold it was a copy of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team! There’s more to this story so please stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog!

Daily Affirmation: Today I focus on the ‘what’.
