How To Get Used!

Leave a comment

I never once went for money, I just said Use Me, show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what can I do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself. – Oprah

larger purpose

True fulfillment in life is simply not possible when we’re focused on self. The very reason the Universe exists is to mature young souls and have us connect to the larger spirit fabric. We start to do so via family and friends; this process must continue until we enlarge the concept of family and brotherhood to everyone on this planet. The Universe is focused on evolving and growing souls for a purpose that we cannot quite fathom just yet…

submission

The essential trick to true success then is to simply give up! Not give up as in not do anything or give up as in stop being creative and innovative. But we must give up our need to control our life. We must submit to the divine will. Divinity is wiser than we can imagine. When we submit our will to it; all that is good for us plus more is accomplished. We have to listen and act while being creative…We have to learn to get used by God. He knows us well.

Daily Affirmation: Today I submit to God’s will for me.

How To Become More Patient…

Leave a comment

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. – Ecclesiastes 3:1

understanding why

The universe is constantly evolving according to God’s master plan. Looks like God wants to…

    • share herself by multiplying self

    • experience life from other perspectives

    • join her offspring in satisfying and everlasting relationships

      Knowing that our life is part of an unfolding (and mostly unknown) larger purpose allows us to become more patient.

      time…

      To achieve his purposes God created Space. For anything to move inside Space requires Time. So Space and Time go hand-in-hand. God in undertaking this massive ‘experiment’ allows for as much time as is necessary to achieve his purposes. This is the reason why given our limited perspective we get frustrated and impatient. We don’t understand the overall picture. One way to become more patient is to ruminate over this idea and focus our attention on the ‘Now’ moment. Now is all that is.

      Daily Affirmation: Today I AM super patient.

      How We Create Heaven Or Hell…

      Leave a comment

      13.28 And when a man sees that the God in himself is the same God in all that is, he hurts not himself by hurting others: then he goes indeed to the highest Path. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 13)

      our thoughts

      We dwell in our thoughts. We dwell in our minds. And therefore we dwell in the quality of mind that we create or allow to be created in our minds. Whenever we have thoughts that aren’t wholesome and are negative we experience their vibrations. So by choosing our thoughts we choose the state of mind that we experience. All day.

      god’s fabric

      God’s fabric makes up everything. God’s presence makes residence in all hearts. God experiences himself through us. God becomes many, from one, through us. We cannot, for long, fight God in the person of the other. We cannot think ill of or harm anyone else without harming self. So whether we create internal hell through our thoughts or we harm self by attacking others, it’s a lose-lose situation. Let’s win-win instead, create love in self and provide loving service. We’re empowered to create a piece of heaven wherever we find self.

      Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a creator of heaven!

      Who Is This Person?

      We worry about what children will be tomorrow. Yet, we forget he is something today. – Stacia Tauscher

      child?

      Kahlil Gibran in ‘The Prophet’:

      They come through you but not from you,
      And though they are with you yet they belong not to you…

      How do we view and interact with ‘children’ daily? Do we act as though we know stuff? Do we behave like the child is not his own soul? How does this attitude translate into the rest of our adult interaction?

      today

      Today the child is also a child of the Divine. Today we still need to learn and grow a lot more. Today everyone else we meet is also God’s child. Today is more important than any other day. Life happens today. Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow shall never be, because it’s all ‘today’. Let’s find rest in the eternal peace that is ‘Now’. All is well.

      Daily Affirmation: Today I AM.

      What It Takes To Be Cool…

      Leave a comment

      Try to be like the turtle; at ease in your own shell. – Bill Copeland

      like a turtle

      ‘Slow and easy wins the race’, not only that but such a turtle doesn’t quite care what others think of him. He’s going to take it easy, be determined, plow along at his own pace and not care a bit about what others think about his life or his body. He’s cool.

      how?

      For us to be like turtles we have to first be convinced about our own value. Where does such high self-esteem come from? It might have come from our parents, it might come from our friends, from our work and certainly from our accomplishments. For those who believe in God it can be simpler. As a child of God, a universally unique and creative off-spring of the ‘One’, we can find solace in the fact that we’re loved and cared for more than we can ever imagine. Once we accept this fact in faith, we can use prayer, reminders and affirmations to drill it into our psyche! Hello cool Turtle!

      Daily Affirmation: Today I AM cool-skinned!

      Who’s The Ideal Life Partner?

      Leave a comment

      If you are going to fall in love, try to make your relationship one that generates great spiritual creativity, one that is mutually enriching. – Daisaku Ikeda

      life partner

      A partner for life, means just that. We all have access to a physical and/or virtual ‘life’ partner. We’re lovingly looked after by God our parent. Love is the very basis for all reality and why we all exist. In this current separation from spiritual reality, for very good reasons, we suffer from loneliness, but there’s a way out…

      spiritual connection

      We must make connection with Spirit. This can be done directly via stillness practices and can be enhanced via a wholesome relationship with a spouse or partner. This connection, such a relationship, is our way beyond our current struggles and lack of the big picture. Life can be wholesome, satisfying and thrilling, we just need to turn our perspective inward and ask that Reality get involved! It will…

      How To Heal Relationships

      Leave a comment

      If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? – Stephen Levine

      relationships

      There isn’t a person alive who doesn’t have or hasn’t had challenges with relationships! The truth is that relationships are what life is all about. If everything was to disappear right now, from a spiritual standpoint the only thing that would matter would be people, memories and relationships. How can we heal relationships that are suffering?

      2 ways

      Here are 2 ideas that do work:

      1. Let’s drop our ego and call the person or persons we most need to talk to. Tell them how much we miss them and how much we’re losing out by not having a normal relationship… This has been known to work for some Smile!
      2. The Spiritual Triangle: Here’s an exercise that works powerfully to heal relationships behind the scenes! Here are the steps… 
        • Use prayer to connect with divinity. Now imagine 3 points of light in the mind’s eye.
        • Point A: Is a bright light in the region of our heart; Point B: Is a luminosity that depicts God or divinity. Point C: Is a bright light that represents the heart of the other person.
        • Make a ‘light’ connection between Point A (us) and Point B (God). Then connect Point B and Point C (the other person). Finally in a triangle connect all 3 points!
        • Imagine the light triangle between the 3 points as vividly as possible. This light is the love that connects everyone. This love heals all…
        • Now pray that this relationship be healed and imagine Point A, B and C merging into one brilliant light!
