Let It Be…

Leave a comment

Let be and be still, and know that I am God. – Psalm 46:10

let be

This is a famous Psalm and very often quoted. The standard translation is ‘Be still and know that I am God’. I love the translation above because it encapsulates meditation and even life itself!

When sitting for meditation just let be.

  • Allow your breathing to slow down
  • Let all body tension melt away. Allow your body to relax completely.
  • The mind should stay alert and not dwell on any thought. Let the thoughts arise and let them be.
  • Whenever you notice anything, a discomfort, a thought, a feeling, just let it be, don’t entertain it, let it disappear due to a lack of attention to it.

be still

When you just let be stillness occurs. You can now find yourself in a very calm and alert state. This can take a while, but it does happen with practice. You’ll be amazed and ecstatic when it does! Stay here for a while. This is stillness, a form of meditation.

know god

In this alert and calm state, joy emerges. You will experience peace as you never otherwise know it. In this eternal present moment, all creativity is possible, but greater still, God is present. Experience it and know.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will let life be, I will inhabit the NOW moment!

Define Yourself…

1 Comment

Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.  – Harvey Fierstein

‘life is pointless’

When I first read this statement in the book Bringers of the Light by Neale Donald Walsch, I was taken aback. How can life be pointless? What Neale means is that it’s up to us to give life meaning, to define our role, to decide to do what we want to do and to decide to be all that we want to be! I like that!

create a vision

Create a vision for yourself. Your life and this universe is the canvas you can paint on, go ahead, go crazy, don’t hold back! Grab this eternal opportunity, all time is precious!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my author.

Your Original Medicine

Leave a comment

No one else has the same configuration of life experience and perspective that you hold. This is your “original medicine,” nowhere else duplicated. – Gail Larsen

your ticket

Your ticket to life’s goodness, bounty, happiness and fulfillment is your own uniqueness. Your essence, your individuality, is your ‘original medicine’ according to Gail Larsen.

original medicine

This term comes from a Native Indian tradition of North America. You need to find and claim your ‘original medicine’ if you want to enjoy life. According to the Urantia Papers there are up to 7 trillion inhabited planets in a small portion of the Universe that we inhabit. If that were true, imagine the sheer number of individuals in the Universe! Well, you are unique amongst them all!

Affirmation: Today I AM thankful for my uniqueness. I focus on what only I can offer to the world.

Pray For Power!

Leave a comment

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks. – Phillips Brooks

pray for understanding

We are hard pressed to ever understand the big picture, the larger goal, the eternal purpose, so let’s pray for the ability to understand what’s going on. Pray to understand our role in how life unfolds for everyone we interact with.

pray for steadfastness

As we gain understanding, we ought to pray for the strength and resolve to continue. We should proceed with the intention and expectation that all will be well. Under the direction of such an intention, we must keep moving towards the North.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM resolute, I know I must plow on!

Bathe Daily!

Leave a comment

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar

hard work

Life is hard work. We’re essentially a tabula rasa when we’re born. Everything that we do, makes us, every habit, every project, achievement, goal etc. We literally build our inner ‘soul’ through our persistence and hard work.

daily reminders

Because nothing much is free in life. We must remind ourselves daily to:

  • Pray: Connect with our spiritual source. Motivate ourselves.
  • Thank: Be thankful for all we have and are.
  • Love: Love all, including self.
  • Set Goals: Live life on purpose.
  • Exercise: Our mind, body and soul.

Daily Affirmation: Today I sharpen my saw. I focus on what’s important.

The New Religion

Leave a comment

Teacher, let’s you and I make a new religion, one good enough for India and big enough for Rome … – Ganid to Jesus (The Urantia Papers)

background

According to the Urantia Papers Jesus spent many months with a couple of visitors from India during his ministry around the middle-east, much before his crucifixion. Ganid the son of an Indian trader, got quite close to Jesus. It’s an account worth reading here!

the new religion

Here’s my take on the tenets of the ‘new religion’ that’s 2000 years old. It’s still ‘new’ because no large group of people has ever practiced it in its pure form. If we did, the world would change. It’s a religion that requires no earthly authority. It’s all between you and God.

  1. God is within you: Tap into that presence via meditation and prayer. Reflect on what this truly means. The God of this whole creation, resides within and shares your life with you! You are very valuable.
  2. God is within everyone else: Treat everyone accordingly. God is the common thread between all of us. That makes us all brothers and sisters. How can this truth guide us daily?
  3. Love is the answer: Relationships are of utmost importance. Anytime you don’t know what to do, ask ‘What will love do in this situation’? Anytime you don’t know how to be, be love. Focus on the right goals in life.

Daily Affirmation: Today I move in God’s presence, I see and acknowledge God in everyone.

Come To Be…

Leave a comment

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is. – Peter Nivio Zarlenga

your vision

  • Do you have a vision for yourself?
  • What does it look like and feel like?
  • Are you able to describe your vision in an elevator ride to a stranger?

your purpose

Purpose and vision are intertwined. Life purpose may come first, then you can create a vision and follow it. Else maybe a dream emerges first? That can lead to your vision and your life purpose.

  • What do you truly want?
  • What in life, are you aching for?
  • What’s deep inside your heart, seeking expression?
  • How long will you ignore it?
