SO WITHIN SO WITHOUT

Archive for September, 2009

Welcome!

Posted by admin On September - 2 - 2009
My wish is to encourage all of us to make decisions and do things which will reflect our higher purpose. 

The only person we can truly work on is ourselves. Do that which in your heart you know is right.

Change comes from within.

Love, and laughter: the two things we can never have enough of. 

 Be at peace with who and what you are, then there can be no chance of war.

10 Steps To Inner Peace

Posted by admin On September - 1 - 2009

In today’s world, we sometimes forget that our ultimate goal is not material success. There is information overload accompanied by a spiritual “deficiency” these days. We need to allow our Spirit to guide us. 

Within each of us lies the peace and success we need. We just have to tap into it. There are 10 simple principles we can use to understand the mindset necessary to achieve this. 

Have an open heart, apply what resonates with you amongst the following and you will find the peace of God that truly defines success. You can have the peaceful and fulfilled life you desire. 

This is an honest guide to living happily. Slow down and listen to your “inner voice.” You cannot change other people’s behavior or actions, so just live life the best you can and enjoy every minute of it. Remember there are no justified resentments.

EMBRACE YOUR HISTORY AND MOVE ON

Posted by admin On September - 13 - 2009

 

 Your past can be likened to the wake of a speed boat, or a plane. Leave it behind where it belongs.

 

Your past is over, loosen the bond so you can heal and move on. Let go of the past pains, the abuses, the shortcomings. Do no use your personal history to justify self-defeating behaviour and scarcity. Do not wallow in self pity because you are an alcoholic, your parents abused you as a child, or whatever.

 

The reverse is also true. The “Good Old Days” are gone and will never return and we do not need to recreate them in order to be happy or fulfilled.

 

In order to become free to immerse yourself in this moment, you must examine the past, understand it, accept it, embrace it with compassion, Love it for all that you have learned and experienced. If you need help to do this, go ahead. This will give you the strength to throw away the past in your own unique way – through a poem, song or in whatever way you feel called to.

 

There are no mistakes or coincidences in this universe. All the illnesses, abuses and dark times we have been through helped us to get where we are today.

 

Do not waste time with guilt or regret over the past or worry over the future. It is futile. Do not allow thoughts based on your past to define you. Give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now.

 

Be the limitless Spirit you are meant to be and do not try to live up to the labelling you have made for yourself. Any and all limitations are set by you yourself. You are connected to the Source, thus connected to the unlimited power of God. Transform all the limiting beliefs now!

UNDERSTAND WHAT “PROBLEMS” ARE

Posted by admin On September - 8 - 2009

 

No matter how long you have been going down one path, it is never too late to get off of it and change. 

If you bring the higher energy of truth to them, the beliefs that create “problems” in your mind will dissolve. Light will always dissolve darkness just as love will hate. A problem is the belief of the ego mind which does not perceive the spiritual mind, just as dark does not perceive light.  

Spirit cancels problems all the time. There is a spiritual solution to every “problem.” Stay connected to Spirit. 

However grim the circumstances, believe in your connectedness to God and in your capability of achieving anything. Your thoughts create your reality. Everything and everyone you experience is in your thoughts. 

Love a person for what they are, not for what you would like them to be, or what they used to be. The universe is just as it should be. 

Treat your body to regular exercise, healthy foods, large amounts of pure water and plenty rest while turning “disease” over to God. Your body will allow the perfect harmony it was designed for to proliferate. 

Your physical self, your personality and your God-connected spiritual self will emerge and radiate a higher energy of Love and light. 

Simply change your mind from one that created and experienced problems, to one that resolves them. 

Most of us shift from time to time from one type of “consciousness” to another: 

  1. Ego consciousness. The lowest level. A belief in separateness from others, from what we want to attract into our lives, and from God is obvious here. The personality, the body, competing and winning are important at this level. There is no rest here. Both inner peace and the strived for “success” are never attained.
  2. Group consciousness. Whatever the group dictates becomes your identity card. Membership of the group is based on such things as racial background, religion, family etc. A group consciousness mentality is the justification of many a war among many other forms of inhumanity to our fellow human being.
  3. Mystical consciousness. This is the problem-free consciousness where you feel connected to every person and creature as well as to God. You understand that anything you do to others, you do to yourself. Love, joy and cooperation are important. You are independent of what others think of you.

Be Silent

Posted by admin On September - 6 - 2009

 

Solitude is necessary for any depth of meditation or of character; and in the presence of natural beauty is the cradle of great thought and aspirations. 

Meditation and prayer give us a sense of belonging.

Today our world is constantly bombarded with unnatural sounds which preclude silence. Many in our culture today are afraid of silence.

The average person has 60,000 separate thoughts every day.  This means there are almost no gaps. If you could reduce that number by half, you would open up a world of possibilities for yourself. You reconnect to your source and know the peacefulness of God whenever you become one with silence.

“Be still and know that I am God.”

Everything comes out of silence. Silence helps to recharge your battery, bring inner peace, remove tension and anxiety, bring a closeness to all humanity and God. Creativity increases and fatigue decreases through silence.

To know God is to become independent of others’ definition and description of God. You have your own personal knowing.

Take time out for silence in your life. Meditate daily. Sit quietly and become the observer of all the inner chatter of your mind. Eventually you will be able to move to the gaps between your thoughts. Take a few minutes in the morning and again in the evening to create the opportunity for you to experience inner peace, in a way you may have never known before.

There are many opportunities to access silence. Anytime you must stop somewhere for a few minutes.

When you truly at peace, it is always simple and easy to deflect the negative energies of those you encounter. A person cannot succeed in bringing you into their misery without your agreement. Your sense of peace will at the same time bring others into harmony with you. It has been proven that just being in the energy field of those who meditate raises the levels of serotonin(a substance produced in the body which encourages peaceful and harmonious feeling) in observers. The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts on those around you.

The main benefit of meditation however is your contact with a source of soothing energy that makes you feel deeply connected to God.

God is indivisible, omnipresent, everywhere and is the force that creates and sustains life. Our physical world is full of combinations, opposites, always divisible. Silence is the one indivisible experience. Therefore it is your one way to experience the oneness and the indivisibility of God.

Make being next to nature a regular part of your life routine. Take time to be alone and commune with God.

Relax and enjoy the serenity and inner peace that silence and meditation always bring.
