QUESTION
Will there be justice for wrong doings?
If the Law of Karma is created only by the belief in guilt, then will those who do not feel guilt escape punishment in the next birth?

ANSWER:
The beautiful being called human is basically unconditional love and compassion.  The human soul is full of love and light and it can never be harmed or damaged in anyway.  This game called "life on Planet Earth" is a game of duality in order to evolve, exercise and experience all the concepts of duality and from these experiences gather wisdom for grander evolvement. The human body and soul accepted to experience and play this game of duality together.
So in order to know itself the soul has to play the game of "I do not know who I am".  By being who you are not, you come to understand who you are.  It is as simple as experiencing cold in order to know what heat is.
Since the basic quality of the human spirit is unconditional love, whatever game of duality is played on Earth, the human spirit tries to balance the game every time there is an unbalance.  There is no judgment here, there is just moving forward to set things right along the journey of life.  The mind is linear and is not able to process the absolute concepts, it can only understand from the place of the relative, and hence to help the mind to understand from an individual point of view the concept of Karma was introduced.
The concept of right or wrong is different for different individual according to their  understanding and evolvement through lifetimes.  So that which is right for me may be wrong for you.  Every one does not process the same information in the same way.
Hence if we try to understand people from our point of view we will always judge them.  But if we get out of the place of judgment then we will be able to deal every situation from the place of peace.
According to the Divine every individual is forever innocent, because the Divine sees every individual from their point of view and is able to understand and know that whatever the person had done at any given point, is the best that he/she has done considering their life experiences, their wisdom gathered from different life times, the many situations that they had to deal with, the many books they read, and so on and so forth.
Hence the Divine can never judge or punish anyone.
So if we need to really understand this game of duality we need to move beyond the mind stories of right and wrong and understand that we as humanity are ONE Consciousness, there is no "other/them" here, there is only a "me" and the "other me".
When we choose to hold the consciousness of peace and understanding we create a space of compassion for the All.
By this we enlighten ourselves and hence become the gift for the All.

I AM LOVE ( One of the many beautiful poems by Hafiz)

I Have Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

Hafiz

JOURNEY FROM POWERLESSNESS TO EMPOWERMENT

A QUESTION AND ANSWER TO SHARE:

A Sweet friend recently asked me:
If God is unconditional love and he takes care of everything then why there is suffering in the world. How can I contribute towards the happiness of others? If i strive for higher awareness, will it contribute towards the happiness of others?

ANSWER
This is a great question my friend. 
This was a question that I asked myself about some 30 years ago. So let me share some of the observations and conclusions from my contemplation about this.

In the beginning due to religious instructions and the influence of society, I thought that I was a servant to God and I always serve to his wishes, the more I served the more heartache was there. Since my thoughts were on service to the Divine and I considered myself as a servant I was often in situations that needed greater service and these situations triggered my emotions of pity, sadness, judgment and anger towards God.

In order to get out of my sadness I began considering the thought that God is my Parent, from the place of believing God to be my parent I started begging and pleading to heal the suffering of my fellow beings and myself many times, I found that I lost my happiness and lived in greater fear and dependence on the being that I called as God.

As I continued this belief in my mind, at one point this annoyed me greatly as I witness life taking its toll on everything I held dear. I disowned the belief in the entity that I called as God and went into deep contemplation. I came to the conclusion that life goes on creating its ups and downs whether I accept it or not. Hence, I decided to accept life as it is, which I thought is the best possible way to keep my thoughts from wanting things to be different than what life brings my way, keeping myself away from arguing with life brought me the gift of peace. As I became more cautious to keep myself away from confusion and sadness from my judgments about life, I slowed down my pace of doing things and I started becoming a witness of life.

Witnessing life in all its colors amazed me immensely. As I took time to become a grand witness I saw myself blending with life and I became ONE with everything, every situation, every person! I could feel and know many things even before I witnessed them. From this place I understood and admired the Creator of All That IS, I felt myself One with the Creator, one in partnership with the Creator, I felt myself as a Co-Creator with the Creator of All That IS.

I was awed by creation, I understood that when I choose to hold the consciousness of peace within me, the situations around me blended in with peace. I understood that when I choose to be in the place of non-judgment by being the witness of life and holding the consciousness of peace within, living life in the physical seems to be effortless. Hence I understood that consciousness is the one that is responsible for any kind of creation. This is the deeper mystery, deeper truth that I experienced in this journey of life.

At present I am going through a very tough situation but I consciously choose to accept what IS, and hold peace within. This has helped me bring in grander solutions for the problems at hand which I could never have done if I was judging the situation. Also I am able to see wonderful gifts even in this tough situation, and this makes me hold the consciousness of appreciation, this makes me live in peace and happiness beyond my wildest dreams.

Living in oneness with life and choosing appreciation and gratitude has brought so much joy to my heart, this joy gives me freedom to hold grander visions , release from the creations of the past and create grander worlds for myself and this Planet, and the more I hold these visions the more they manifest effortlessly.

And answering your last question, YES, if you choose to live from the place of awareness, which is mindfulness with non-judgment, you will definitely move towards understanding the mystery of life, you will live as a peace keeper, and when you are in this place your consciousness will touch every person in your space and bring them peace and ease.

So the greatest gift we can give ourselves and this Planet is our self-realization to live as our divine selves on this Planet.

Trust that I have answered your question.

MOVING INTO THE CENTER OF THE HEAD

MOVING INTO THE CENTER OF THE HEAD


A QUESTION AND ANSWER TO SHARE:

Some dear friends tell me that they are not able to practice affirmations, or any other meditation techniques with full concentration.

ANSWER:
Before practicing any spiritual technique, we need to take back our power and live from the place of our wisdom.
The place of our power is the center of the head.
Moving into the center of the head, is actually an INITIATION.

 From childhood we have given away our power to family, friends, teachers, bosses etc. in order to get their approval, appreciation, and love.  We danced to their tunes, even though we did not like it. We allowed them to sit in the center of our head and dictate our life according to their rules.
Out of the need for love, approval and appreciation we stopped listening to our wisdom within and we have not been true to ourselves. Turing our backs on our being has created so much of hurt within us, this made us lose our joy. We start searching for joy on the outside and give away more of our power to the wrong people and get addicted to things in order to get back the joy we lost.

So the moment we gave away our power for love, approval or appreciation, all the people in our life ( Father, mother, teacher, friend, co-worker etc. ) came and sat in the place of our power ( the center of the head).  It is funny to notice that we do certain things and create certain likes and dislikes in our life which resemble that of our parents, friends, etc. these likes and dislikes are not by our trying out certain things, we just accepted the beliefs of the people around us.
 
So all these years we are running our life by their rules and we are not truthful towards ourselves on the inside and hence it hurts so much. Since we are doing all that they want us to do, we lost touch with the wisdom and talents that we are born with. We find that life is tough, boring, or that it is a rat race, this is because we are not doing what we were meant to do, we are doing the things other people decided for us.

When you consciously do the exercise of being in the center of  your head, all the other people who have been sitting in the center of your head and dictating your life will have to go away.

Before practicing any other spiritual technique or meditation it is very important to take back our power by focusing ourselves in the center of our head as many times as we can during the day. Go through everyday activity by being in the center of the head.  Just take time to try it everyday and it will become very easy to live from this space.  This practice will enable us to run our lives from our wisdom, gifted to us by the Creator, this simple conscious focus will help us live our lives effortlessly.

MOVING INTO THE CENTER OF THE HEAD

Sit in a straight back chair, place your feet flat on the floor, and close your eyes. Notice your breathing, breathe from your belly, notice your belly expand with every in-breath, and contract with every out-breath. Continue to breath in this manner.  Now in your mind’s eye imagine a cord of light from the base of your spine extending down to the heart of the Earth and grounding you firmly.
    The center of the head is a place approximately an inch behind the center where your eyebrows meet. Now  place your awareness in this place. You will definitely feel something here, a tingling sensation, a warmth or a heaviness. This is because you have reached the place of your power.
Practice being in the center of your head everyday as many times as you can, also practice moving around and doing your day to day chores by seating yourself in the center of your head and looking at the world through the eyes as windows.  

The more we are able to practice this the more easy it becomes, and then all other spiritual work like reciting mantras/ affirmations or meditations become much easier to practice, because we are doing this from our wisdom and power and not from someone else's beliefs.

Blessings!

A QEUSTION AND ANSWER TO SHARE

A QUESTION AND ANSWER TO SHARE

Some friends ask what is 'loving the Self, ' what is the Self that we need to love?

ANSWER:
The Self is the ALL. The body, mind, soul, spirit... everything.
There is no separation, only the mind likes to separate and put things in a box and label them because that is how the mind works.
It is a good tool for problem solving in the physical.
The Self is the all, but the mind can only connect with the body and not beyond it. The mind was created to protect and preserve the body, because of this important work the ego was created. In order to preserve and survive, the mind tries to make us fit in with everything that it finds to be beneficial.
If we get mesmerized by the mind we forget who we really are and we go by the dictates of the mind which is constantly attentive to "what is wrong, what is wrong" . The mind stories are all about fear, because it has no connection with anything other than itself, to be on the safer side it weaves huge stories of fear about everything so that it can do a good job of keeping the body preserved from harm of any kind.
This reminds me of the way people tell fear stories (which are not true) to their little children so that they will not venture into the unknown and get hurt. Hence, the mind is neither good nor bad, it is just what it is.
The watcher/the Self is who you are. This body is like a vehicle and you use this vehicle to communicate in this beautiful physical dimension. You know you are thinking because you can watch the thoughts your mind brings about, and so you are not the mind but the watcher of the mind, you can see/feel your body, the body changes every moment, so you are also not your body, you are the watcher of the body.
The watcher is consciousness, there is no woman/ man inside a body, there is only consciousness, and consciousness is eternal, it was present before creation, it was there before knowledge and it is the ALL THAT IS. The moment we connect with consciousness the ego/mind disappears.
Consciousness has no separation, it is the permanent nature of who you are.
Finding the Self and remaining in It is living by planting yourself firmly in your heart space which is the place where the humanness merges with the Divine. It is the place of freedom, fearlessness, wisdom, unconditional love, peace, joy, and enlightenment.

So make small conscious moments in your day to day life in which you become the watcher of your mind, understand that you are the infinite sky where the thought clouds move, they always move away, they do not stay. Learn to identify with the permanent nature of who you are and remain there as many times as you can. For, know that that which you are seeking is also seeking you, you are the one you are waiting for.

Blessings!

Loving yourself helps you to come into the knowing that you are a beloved child of the Universe and that every situation or person is sent your way benevolently by the Divine for your greater good.

A Reminder for Today

A POWERFUL REMINDER FOR TODAY:

“We spend precious hours arguing for our limitations, fearing tomorrow, feeling depressed with the past and past actions, finding fault with the people we know and live with. And before we know it, precious moments of our life slip away unnoticed and unused. 

This moment we are alive, honored and bestowed with all goodness, if we do not have the eyes to see it they are lost to us, we only have this moment, and let us live our life this moment, here, now. Travelling somewhere to the past or the future in the mind cheats us of the precious gifts of the now moment.

Let us be wise to use the opportunity of living our lives by choosing to forgive, cherish, appreciate, bless, and adore our families, friends, neighbors, and strangers who are benevolently sent to us by the divine every precious moment.

Living consciously and appreciating every moment, we find eternity, we live our truth, and we come to the realization that we truly are eternal, loving, timeless beings!

Blessings!
