Truthful To The Core

Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.Wilfred Peterson

with your own self first

This quote goes to the heart of truthfulness and consistency. If we watch ourselves, we’ll notice our various attitudes towards our own selves. Get to know yourself. And then notice when you’re being unkind to your self. You may do this when you don’t think you can achieve something; or when you think your body’s ugly. You judge thy own self constantly.

and then it follows

Which gives you license to judge others and be unkind to them in different ways. If you’re gentle with your self, consistency demands that you then be gentle with all others. That’s Truth in action.

Which 2 Emotions?

Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear. There is no other human motivation.Neale Donald Walsch

do you buy it?

Think about it, every action or thought is motivated by either love or fear. If you cook something it’s either because you love cooking, love eating, love pleasing another being or fear another person, fear dying of hunger or some other minor fear. Try this thought experiment with any thought you think next or action you contemplate; is the motivation love or fear? If you think for example you want to complete a work assignment, it could be that you fear the consequences of not completing it or that you love your job.

what this means

So which emotion would we choose? Love of course. When we do that we align our whole self with the working of the Universal Intelligence. Synchronicity then occurs. Things just work out. We learn important lessons, with the right attitude of love, when things don’t quite work out.

As we become more aware of our seemingly inconsequential motivations behind each thought or act, we realize how important it is to direct our life to flow with love. By doing this consistently we banish fear and eventually worry, out of our life. You’re then a free, totally safe, dynamic, creative and joyful child of the Universe!!

The Peace Pilgrim…

The body, mind and emotions are instruments which can be used by either the self-centered nature or the God-centered nature.The Peace Pilgrim

a role model

In my very early years of enquiry into the spiritual life Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder was a major influence. She’s more popularly known as The Peace Pilgrim. Her story is an amazing one. Her life was the message, a message of finding inner peace and spreading it via contact. She walked, literally hiked, all over the United States for 28 years of her life, walking the talk instead of just talking about it! You may download or order a printed copy of her inspiring book here.

her message

Her central message is that we must be genuinely peaceful first and then that peace can be a beacon for others.

This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.The Peace Pilgrim

She speaks about 4 Preparations, 4 Purifications and 4 Relinquishments in order to achieve a peace beyond understanding one that is invincible!

Love me, now!

Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.Swedish Proverb

When you’re irritated

Or angry at someone, it’s often because they’re being irritable and not nice. When that happens they’re playing out what they might be going through! What should you do?

How to be, instead

We can stay irritable and denounce the person who seems to be causing this feeling in us. Or we could truly try to understand them and be in their shoes for a little bit. When we wear that cap of understanding our best effort at that moment must be an act of love. Pure loving understanding is the call of the moment. You know what that does? That instantly heals the resentment that’s inside us, love does that, and begins to heal the person we’re interacting with. It also heals and makes whole the relationship you have with that person.

Love heals me, it heals you and all around us. Be that love.

We create our own unhappiness…

Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed.The Bhagavad Gita

We create it:

All these three negativities skew our thoughts. All 3 are a result of our thoughts. We create the train of thoughts that leads us in any negative direction. The opposite is also true.

Anything that rattles our minds, throws us off kilter is counter-productive. There’s actually a 4th gate to hell and it’s called Fear!

Seek equanimity:

Equanimity is what we should seek. With a steady, still and reflective mind we’re better equipped to live fully. I suggest 2 techniques in that pursuit:

  1. Free Journaling: Spend 10 minutes daily journaling your thoughts. You just type or write away without judging what comes out. You just throw out any thoughts, emotions, feelings, plans or ideas, put it down on paper or online. Do this daily. It will help you clarify your mind and help it calm down. You’ll garner many creative ideas as well.
  2. Stillness Practice: Practice what will work for you. Just sit and be. Learn to be still, peaceful and calm, look here.

Access to the divine…

Human things must be known in order to be loved, but divine things must be loved in order to be known.The Urantia Papers, (102:1.1)

This quote holds a great secret for those who think that God is personal and can be known.

Don’t wait for God to reveal herself.

Through faith, know that God exists, is in very close proximity (in your heart), and through that same faith start building a relationship with this very God.

Therein lies the key to knowing and connecting with God. Try it; you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Highest attainments…

Reason, wisdom, and faith are man’s highest human attainments.

The Urantia Papers, (103:9.6)

These attainments have nothing to do with career, business or fame, at least directly; instead they involve those aspects of life that we will carry with us even beyond this life!

These 3 areas cover the major aspects of life:

  • Reason: Is about developing your mind and intellect. Reason guides us regarding the things of this world. A well developed intellect is essential for any kind of worldly achievement. Reason is about IQ.
  • Wisdom: Wisdom is all about finding truth, dealing with others and relationships. And thus is a crucial quality to have, it’s about Emotional Quotient or EQ!
  • Faith: Opens the door to everything else that’s essential to our lives. It’s the path to a life of religion; knowing God or Universal Mind, it leads to the very source of everything. Faith is eventually about LQ, Love Quotient, because the real fruit of ‘true religion’ is the blossoming of a pure love, from within.
