Why We Must Be Gentle!

Leave a comment

To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.  – Shams Tabrizi

truth

Truth must be faced. We must know who we are and what we hide. We must recognize the beauty in others and why they’re lovable. We must embrace our divine ancestry and act accordingly…

gentle

So we must be gentle. Gentle with self and with others. Acknowledge that we’re fallible and can attempt to improve. Understand deeply what motivates others and why they might lash out in fear. We must slow down and access that beautiful soft center inside us so that we can connect it to its sibling in others…

Why Stillness Matters…

Leave a comment

When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself.  – Eckhart Tolle

stillness

A calm interior. A self-assuredness. A steady faith. A clear mind. A playfulness. An optimistic perspective. A joyous knowing. These are some of the fruits of stillness.

how?

Through meditation and increasing self-awareness. Meditation reduces the internal thought-storm. Self-awareness shows us how we use our thoughts and when we don’t need them. Meditation and self-awareness go hand-in-hand. During meditation we deepen our awareness. Whenever we deepen our awareness we’re meditating.

How To Find Peace…

Leave a comment

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.  – Mark Twain

thought jungle

By letting our mind rule us we cede our peace to an automaton. We own our mind, it’s not the other way around. We must assert control…

peace

Peace is within our reach when we can be relaxed and think only those thoughts that are essential. Which means we don’t let our mind go wild and instead direct it to do its job. It can be done, and it’s mostly a shift in perspective!

Why Be Thoughtful?

Leave a comment

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christ-like, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.  – Mother Teresa

thoughtfulness

Life is about others. It’s not about us. For increasing happiness and greater fulfillment we must devote a large portion of our personal and work time to others. It’s the key to all goodness.

Who’s The Best Guru?

Leave a comment

The Kingdom of God is within you.  – Jesus Christ

who’s the guru?

A Guru once appeared amidst the hubbub of affluent Phoenix, AZ. Never before had such a light-filled being appeared in this part of the world. Soon he was being followed by a handful of trusting devotees. Within a few months he had delivered a touching and most transformative experience to his followers. One fine day he disappeared back into the East from whence he came. But not before delivering his most pivotal message. What was this message?

message…

It’s a message that’s most needed by all of us today. Watch the touching ‘true story of a false prophet’ on Netflix, Amazon or iTunes for the answer! Or write to me!
