A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION TO SHARE

QUESTION:
You say that I am a gentle soul, loving light, good heart but what is the value of this in today's world? It seems like the people who are honest,sincere,humble & kind are the ones who are suffering the most in this world like me. Now a days people who are doing all the wrong things are most powerful & have lots of respect. Looks like those who have money can do anything in this world , why is this so?

ANSWER:
Yes, I absolutely agree with you dear one.
The situation seems to be like there is no end of misery for those with good heart.
And again let me share with you what I see from a higher perspective.

We are all travelers beyond time and space.  For a moment in time we just occupy these physical bodies that help us to connect with this physical world.  We do not belong to this world, we are grand beings who are just visiting this planet to gather wisdom for our grand journeys beyond.

We lived before we came into these physical bodies, we now live in these physical vessels, the body comes and the body goes but who we are is grandness itself.
The mind was created to protect the body, the mind takes its job very seriously, and it cautions the body about everything, it suspects every person and every situation.  It cannot be at peace.   It always gathers and keeps data of the past and refers it to the future, so all the mind stories are always about bitterness, sadness and fear.

Because of the fall in consciousness we forgot who we are and we allowed out minds to be on autopilot, the mind runs our life absolutely.  So we agree to all the 'yeah and nay' of the mind without even looking at it from our Presence.
When we consciously bring in our Presence into this journey of "life" we will know that we have been asleep and running around with the agenda of the mind.

Every situation we face in this physical world has been lovingly written by us before we came into these physical bodies, we wrote these situations ( even if they are terribly bad) because as souls we knew that we have the greater capacity to face these situation and create grander visions and greater solutions for ourselves, and that we may harvest wisdom in every emotional encounter. We are beloved children of the Universe, the Universe's wish is to know more of itself and we out of love came to play this grand exploration game to know more and more by volunteering for it. Deep within we know that we are a part of the Creator and that which is the Creator can never be damaged or destroyed.

Hence with this understanding when we awaken to our Presence within, we allow the situations to take place and with complete trust in the kindness of life we choose to see the gifts that every situation brings into our life and we move ahead.
Every human has their own story to play out on this Physical plane, every one has to go through certain things (which the mind may categorize as good or bad) in order to evolve and gather wisdom.

Hence we each have to play our part well, comparison and competition is a waste of time and energy, they only create stress.  We do not know the entire lifetime of a person, we do not know their hardships or challenges, what we see in front of us at any given moment is only a minuscule part of that person's life,  our minds may judge that as good or bad, but that is not the truth.

When we wake up to the truth of who we are, we bring a grand gift for ourselves and for humanity.  It is our responsibility to enlighten ourselves for the sake of all beings.  Forgetting our Divinity is the greatest illusion on this Planet. Waking up and connecting with our Divine Presence within will bring greater clarity about the purpose of our lives on this Planet.

Connect with your Divine Presence within by taking time to consciously notice everything around you.
When you notice your breath for a minute or two you come to know that you are not doing the breathing, you are being breathed, when you place your hand on your heart, you realize that your heart beats without any effort from you, you come to the knowing that you are being lived every moment.  That which is life is always kind.  No situation comes to your door without a gift.

So dear one choose to take time to bring your Divine Presence into your moments, choose to see the gift in every situation.  Remember that you are an infinite being, a traveler beyond time and space, and every life situation helps you to evolve and gather wisdom.
Trust that I have answered your question.
Blessings!

COME PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH THE CREATOR

COME PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH THE CREATOR

Reality or the Divine is always kind, it is up to us to find this gift of kindness in every person and every situation, for no situation or person can exist without the Presence of the Divine.
I have been telling my mind data, "I am sorry", and "I love you", all day long today.
I am reminded of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, a Hawaiian therapist who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients through a Hawaiian healing process called ho'oponopono, a shamanic practice of forgiveness native to Hawaii.
It explicitly encourages verbally forgiving one's own inner child and loving the self.
With the technique of ho’oponopono, Dr. Hew Len healed the patients without seeing any of them. He took each of the patient’s charts and looked within himself to see how he created that person’s illness. As he continued to work on himself, the patients were healed. The work he did on himself was to say the words “I am sorry” and “I love you” over and over again. The simple technique of Ho’oponopono is to love the self and to forgive the self for holding mind stories of fear.
So as I am saying "I am sorry" and "I love you" to every data of my mind about people and situations, my soul brings to me this message, it says that reality/God is always kind, it is me who needs to take responsibility to find this gift of kindness in every person or situation in my space.
I realize that anything other than love feels like stress. I choose to live in love, and I tell my soul I choose to find and see this gift of kindness in every person and in every situation.
The entire world is our creation – everything we see, hear, and touch is our responsibility just because it is in our life. Thus, everything outside is a reflection of the world we have created on the inside. Anything good or bad exists because of us holding certain concepts in our mind stories. So the problem is not with the world outside, it is with the world inside, and to change that we must work on ourselves.
The Divine lovingly asks us to seek and find the Divine within every person and every situation. Let us choose to play this game of seeking, finding, and experiencing the good, the kind, and the beautiful gift of the Divine in every person and every situation in our space.
Start by simply telling all your mind data, "I am sorry", and "I love you" continuously. You will definitely experience the miraculous. I have experienced it and I know it to be true.

Blessings!

POWERFUL REMINDERS FROM A LITTLE DOG

POWERFUL REMINDERS FROM A LITTLE DOG
(An excerpt from my book "Twelve Steps to Inner Peace)

Joy represents God as the Creator created us in Joy. When you live in joy, you live in the Presence of God. Follow your highest joy to find the Magical Kingdom of the Creator within. Joy is a state of Mind. The Prime Creator, Sadashiva, is ever joy. In Sanskrit, Sadasiva means: sada – ever; siva – joy. As Sadashiva created us in joy, we are joy. Joy is another name of the Creator.

We need nothing to be in joy as we are joy itself. When we realize that joy is not created as a result of certain conditions, we understand that when we choose to live from the state of Joy, joyous conditions are created around us! The secret to create joyous conditions around us is to choose to be in the state of joy as the creator made us.

The True Self has no need of any love or appreciation from the outside. There is a huge wellspring of love and joy within the Self that can embrace this whole Universe.

We are the ones we are seeking. The only true love affair is the one with the Self and not with anything on the outside. Without the busyness of the mind, we all are pure love.

At every given moment choose joy, choose excitement, and choose peace. The next moment is created only from this moment. This present moment is important. Excitement and joy is the energy that leads you to your True Self. Excitement and joy leads you to the Creator regardless of whatever the issue is and regardless of the situation’s outward appearance.

At one time I had a neighbor who had a little dog who was so happy to see every one she met. She would wag her tail, jump up and down, and look at you with such loving, knowing eyes. The little dog was so excited with life and she was so much in gratitude for everything around her that everyone fell in love with this little dog. This little dog had brought in such a powerful reminder of joy into my life. I found that anytime I felt uncomfortable or sad with my mind stories, I could immediately switch my thoughts to the exuberant joy of this little dog. In my mind’s eye, I saw her wag her little tail and excitedly jump up and down, and as she was so happy with life and showed it with her entire body, it brought me joy, excitement, and trust in the eternal goodness of Divine Love. I chose to give gratitude to life like this little dog. Immediately, my mood changed and I became so happy and thankful toward life. I am so much in gratitude to this little being that showed me to live in excitement for life.

Excitement lets you know that the one here, now, in this Present Time, is the true you. By choosing joy, you are acknowledging your true self to the Universe. It is then that the Universe has the conviction that it is you, and it is then that the Universe can support who you actually are rather than supporting who you have been told you have to be.

Events come and go, but consciousness is what binds and creates all events. It is important to hold the right consciousness that leads you to your joy and to your abundance. The secret key to enter your Magic Kingdom is imagination and trust to create joy in all events of life.

This planet’s playground has no built-in meaning. It takes the meaning you choose to give it, and this is the highest form of love and dignity.

Blessings!

HAPPY PONGAL! BLESSINGS OF ABUNDANCE!

HAPPY PONGAL!

Today is a grand day of the winter harvest festival in India. In my place of birth Tamil Nadu it is celebrated as Pongal. In Tamil, the word Pongal means "overflowing" which signifies abundance and prosperity. On the day of Pongal, at the time of sun rise there is a symbolic ritual of boiling fresh milk with freshly harvested rice in a new clay pot and when it boils over and bubbles out of the vessel, people shout "Pongalo Pongal!" which means "may this earth and the life of all beings be filled with abundance and well being in every aspect!"

Pongal is mainly celebrated to convey the appreciation and thankfulness to the Sun God as it act as the primary energy behind the life of all beings, from plants to animals to the tiny single celled beings all depend on the sun for their growth and well being.

This harvest festival is called by different names in different parts of India due to the different languages in every state, they are Makar Sankranti, Bihu, Lohri, Uttarayana, and Pongal.

PONGALO PONGAL to you all my dear friends! May your moments be filled with abundant well being and joy!
Blessings!

THE BURDENS WE CHOOSE TO CARRY

THE BURDENS WE CHOOSE TO CARRY

The past is dead and gone, it is over, but still we choose to carry it in our mind.  The future is not born yet but still we choose to create scary stores of the future in our minds.  Being preoccupied with our scary mind stories, the present is lost to us, we miss the gifts the powerful present moment brings.  The Present moment is a grand gift where we can renew and rejuvenate ourselves. The present moment is a grand opportunity, for it brings a clean slate where we can choose new thoughts and new ways of thinking. This is the abundant grace given for us to not be stuck but to move on to create grander visions and greater solutions for the situations at hand.

I am reminded of this beautiful zen story:

The Burden

Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the road sides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing unable to walk across because of a puddle of water. The elder of the two monks went up to a her lifted her and left her on the other side of the road, and continued his way to the monastery.

In the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, “Sir, as monks, we cannot touch a woman ?”

The elder monk answered “yes, brother”.

Then the younger monk asks again, “but then Sir, how is that you lifted that woman on the roadside ?”

The elder monk smiled at him and told him ” I left her on the other side of the road, but you are still carrying her.”

I have noticed that when we choose to drop the burdens of mind stories a grand space is created where we can bring in our visions and create solutions. We are the creators of heaven or hell in our life, creating heaven or hell depend on what thoughts we choose to encourage and feed our minds with.
We are grand beings with immense love and compassion in our hearts, let us choose to bring this love and compassion into our lives especially for ourselves by dropping our burdens and creating space for grander visions and greater solutions.
For what we choose for ourselves we choose for all humanity, for we are ONE Consciousness.
Let us choose to drop our burdens this moment and become the grand creators of heaven on earth, let us play this game of life with mindful awareness.

Blessings!

THE GREAT INVOCATION PRAYER

THE GREAT INVOCATION PRAYER
~ Master Choa Kok Sui

(This prayer belongs to all humanity)

"From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May the Great Messenger of God return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth."

"May goodwill and the will to do good descend on Earth!"

A BEAUTIFUL REVIEW FOR "Twelve Steps to Inner Peace"

https://christianashley.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/beautiful-and-heartfelt-5-star-review-for-twelve-steps-to-inner-peace/

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for everyone yearning for inner peace, May 7, 2014

By

Renuka S – See all my reviews

This review is from: Twelve Steps to Inner Peace (b&w): With Empowering Spiritual Tools (Paperback)

I read this book multiple times and whenever I feel down its by doing the spiritual exercises given in this book which calms me down. Having this book with me all the time is like having a wise person with me always who is constantly helping me without judging or condemning me. I am not sure if its a psychological feeling that I have developed overtime, but whenever I pick this book up I can feel the sense of peace washing over me. That is the impact this book has had on me. In case you are following the authors on Facebook, you will come to realize that they are two wonderful souls who takes pleasure in helping and healing broken hearts just with their status posts.

For me this is the first book that I read on spirituality and only after reading this book and following the authors’ updates in facebook I am able to appreciate the works of other spiritual gurus like Robin Sharma, Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra etc. I have come to realize that spirituality is nothing but simple common sense just put in a beautiful way :).

Thanks to regularly following them on Facebook and to this book, I now really believe that my life is truly very beautiful however be the situation and however insurmountable my difficulties might seem to be.

Just so you all know most of the exercises given in the book can be practiced by anyone and although they are different forms of meditation they are made to be understood in a way that even those who have never done any sort of meditation(like me) would be able to follow.

I hope you also enjoy reading this book not once but again and again like me :-).

Awaiting many more such wonderful books from the authors :).
