How are you disabled?

Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless. – BF Skinner

Society provides many benefits but it hobbles us more than we think.

How are you conditioned by your circumstances? How were you conditioned by your culture growing up? How is your world-view shaped?

These are important questions to ask ourselves so that we know what subtle assumptions shape us, our beliefs and therefore our happiness and relationships. This is yet another way in which we live our lives hypnotized, skimming the surface of life, not really knowing what we miss!

Wake up to the real you, reclaim your heritage via correct thinking and awareness!

Love and Forgive…

Leave a comment

The Father in heaven loves his children, and therefore should you learn to love one another; the Father in heaven forgives you your sins; therefore should you learn to forgive one another. – Jesus, The Urantia Book

 

That’s all there is to it!

Love because we all deserve it, and who to give it, except us to others? When we love, we can’t help but feel that emotion ourselves, we thus end up loving our own selves, makes for a better personality and better health!

Forgive because that truly opens us to receive inspiration from God. Otherwise we’re lost in our thoughts about how we were wronged! Ends up causing poorer health!

So the recipe for happiness and good health is Love and Forgive!

Meditation Tips, Quotes - 2009

I AM, available…

I will speak to you if you listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways. – Neale Donald Walsch

The creator, the universal creative essence, indwells us. That presence is available. We don’t know it because we haven’t paid attention.

When you get that flash of inspiration or that kind thought for someone else, that’s God talking to you. If you practice listening you’ll be amazed at how integrated God is into our lives!

He has always been present, and in ‘all ways’ has he made his presence felt, if we but listen and pay attention.

A technique developed by Carl Jung called Active Imagination can help you connect! And of course meditation or stillness helps!

How much can you handle?

Leave a comment

I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much. – Mother Teresa

How much can we handle? For some the flood of adversity is relentless and never seems to recede. For others things seem to sail smoothly, at least on the surface. Life isn’t a bed of roses, that’s for sure…

So how can we cope?

One way is to not conjure up a scary future. Stay in the moment, handle what’s on our plate for today, tomorrow will take care of itself.

Another is to have a deep and abiding faith in the goodness of God (Universe), and that all will work out for the best, for everyone.

Come to think of it, for us to be truly present to the day we must have faith that tomorrow will be just fine. Faith must come first and then the ability to stay in the moment!

Who do you trust?

Leave a comment

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

We all feel fear. Where does it come from?

It arises from a reliance on ourselves.

We think we can handle it all. At the same time, deep down, we feel inadequate. We feel that we’re not ultimately safe. The imbalance between what we think and what we are, creates the fear. Which leads to depression.

How do we change this?

By connecting to your deep self (which is light, love & joy), often. And by knowing that a greater intelligence, call it God, upholds us all, provides us strength and is there for us, at all times! Once we begin to rely on that great upholder more than on ourselves, our fear will dissipate.

Born to succeed!

Leave a comment

Men are born to succeed, not to fail. – Henry David Thoreau

You are already a success, just look around you, inside you, and at the life you’ve already created. Let your successful life guide your future and illuminate your present.

Your present is where you understand and accept the value of all that you’ve already become, it’s a culmination of sorts. It’s a future you had probably desired a long time ago. Recognize it, accept it and now celebrate it!

Celebrate the success that you already are!

The First Relationship

Leave a comment

Your first relationship must be with yourself. – Neale Donald Walsch

We must be peaceful first, we must be comfortable in our own skin first, we must know self first, before we can be truly happy.

Peace comes when the constant chatter in our mind begins to slow down and when we understand that we’re ultimately safe in God. Practice meditation.

Self-respect arrives when we accept ourselves just as we are, even though there’s lot’s to improve. It arrives when we’re not too concerned about what others think of us. Practice affirmations, recognize your own beauty.

Self-knowledge arises when we observe our habits, our tendencies, our assumptions and what drives us. Practice awareness.

When we have peace, self-respect and self-knowledge we know that true happiness can be sustained through a selfless approach towards others, an approach that leads to service.
