What Do We Most Want To Feel?

Leave a comment

If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich. – Charles Wagner

seeking wealth?

We all seek wealth, success, recognition, a feeling of accomplishment and much more! What are we truly seeking? What is it that we want to feel? What has been most important to us in our lives?

the feeling

What we’re really seeking is the feeling we get from accomplishing or having the things that we seek. For example we seek wealth to feel important, to feel loved and/or to feel secure. It’s important to understand what is it that we seek to feel. Once we clarify that we’ll know what kinds of goals to set, how to use our core values to set such goals and therefore how to be happy and content as we move through life!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM content!

Who am I? – Neale Donald Walsch

fundamental questions!

Neale calls them the 3 persistent questions and the 4 fundamental questions of life! Here’s the first fundamental question that we ought to ask self…

who am i?

This question can generate numerous multi-faceted enquiries and possible answers. We may ask from the perspective of biology, sociology, religion, philosophy, country, race, family and the universe! But ask we must. It’s essential that we gain some understanding of how we view self because that will guide how we view others and therefore our relationships with them and the world.

There’s also the question of the little ‘i’ and the big ‘I’. The question can be asked iteratively and through-out our lives! It’s not a question that can ever fully be answered either!

Daily Affirmation: Today I ponder ‘Who AM I’?

What Don’t We Understand?

Leave a comment

Is it possible that there is something we do not fully understand about ourselves, about our own life and its purpose, the understanding of which would shift our reality and alter our experience for the better, forever? – Neale Donald Walsch

more questions!

Here’s the 3rd ‘Persistent’ question that Neale asks us to consider…

life purpose

If we knew what we were here to do wouldn’t that charge our day with passion and enthusiasm? What could be more important than finding out how to best spend our time? On what should we focus our efforts? It is indeed possible to gain much understanding regarding these questions!

Daily Affirmation: Today I search for my purpose!

Life Changing Questions…

Leave a comment

Is it possible that there is something we do not fully understand about life, the understanding of which would change everything? – Neale Donald Walsch

questions!

Neale calls them the 3 persistent questions and the 4 fundamental questions of life! We started with persistent question #1 here: What Is It That? Persistent question #2 is presented above.

what don’t we understand?

It’s quite possible that we’re missing some basic understanding that keeps humanity from achieving goals that are important. There’s a lot that we don’t understand. As we look around we notice umpteen religions and even more philosophies about the purpose of life, the nature of God, and the like. There’s the Qur’an, the Torah, the Mishna, the Talmud, the Gita, Rig Veda, the Upanishads, the Tao, the Buddha Dharma, the Dhammapada, the Pali Canon, the Book of Mormon, the Urantia Papers and many more!

Which one is the Truth?

At one level we do know that all these are paths to the Great One. Nevertheless there are many gaps in our knowledge. How can we fill these gaps?

What Is It That?

4 Comments

How is it possible that 6.9 billion people can all claim to want the same thing (peace, security, opportunity, prosperity, happiness, and love) and be singularly unable to get it? – Neale Donald Walsch

what we seek

We all seek ‘peace, security, opportunity, prosperity, happiness and love’. Do we not? Have we been able to achieve these goals personally? Collectively we have failed quite miserably to achieve these goals.

why?

What’s keeping us from achieving that which is most important to us? Why do we keep failing? Why do some societies achieve some of these goals and many don’t? Are there certain personal and societal assumptions that keep us from making headway? What are some possible solutions?

Daily Affirmation: Today I converse about important questions…

What Are The Most Important Questions?

Leave a comment

We must decide: is life something that is happening to us or something that is happening through us? – Neale Donald Walsch

decision time

In this ground breaking book, The Storm Before the Calm, Neale makes the point that the time has now come to make certain decisions individually and collectively. We must reassess the ‘story’ we’ve been living. We ought to realize that our current assumptions about life aren’t going to produce a much different world from the one we’re experiencing.

question time

To embark on this journey we must ask ourselves certain questions. I’ll be presenting these questions one at a time to highlight their importance.

It’s now time to understand that we’re responsible for our life. It’s also clear that as earthlings we’ve collectively created most of what we’re experiencing across the world.

  1. What should we do about this?
  2. How can we move forward more creatively?
  3. How can we solve this large problem as a family?

Daily Affirmation: Today I question what’s going on!
