Here is a prayer of mine--Oh God--please bring me Divine Love & Peace and the ability to Surrender to you in great Faith and Trust. Give me great
Compassion and Understanding for there is much I need to learn from everyone around me---- Especially those who are hardest to love, so I can be with you, as
god within God.

Thoughts about 'problems' | ||

Posts: 887 (04/09/09 17:26:14) |
Every so called "problem" or "crisis" is, in fact Geoff an opportunity for transformation. Think about it this way: If something shows up
in your life then you created it in some way, shape or form. It may have shown up as a "problem" so that you could see it from a perspective that
requires you to "transform" the "problem" into something that serves you. Believe me, there is always a way to look at any situation and
see how it can serve you. ALWAYS. Have fun with this and look at your perceived "problems" as an "opportunity for transformation." You are
prioritizing fun aren't you?

If you talk to God, you are praying; if God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

"The Relaxed Soul Forgives Himself" In some societies they don't have a word for guilt ---They apologize, they are forgiven, and the past is let go of. Guilt comes from within and
there's no such thing as healthy guilt in my book. You might feel sorry about what you did, that's good. Guilt implies you did something wrong, and all
of us have done something wrong---we are all human. But guilt is not something you should hold onto. Forgive yourself and love yourself, just as God loves you
unconditionally. This is a very hard lesson to learn, especially for people who are hard on themselves, and need to have compassion and understanding for
themselves to heal their soul.

There is a famous saying: "If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear." I often compare the mind in meditation to a jar of muddy water: The more we leave the water without interfering or stirring it, the
more the particles of dirt will sink to the bottom, letting the natural clarity of the water shine through. The very nature of the mind is such that if you
only leave it in its unaltered and natural state, it will find its true nature, which is bliss and clarity.
Namaste

"It is true that overcoming obstacles and difficulties accelerates spiritual progress. The most serious lifetime difficulties, like severe psychiatric illness or physical disability, may be signs of life progress, not regress. In my opinion, it is often the very strongest souls who have chosen to shoulder these burdens because they provide great opportunities for growth." |

Ninety percent of all religious teachings are designed to manipulate minds and emotions to catch, hold and extract energy and devotion from its followers,
while only 10 percent of such teachings are truly priceless and valuable to one's social, physical and spiritual welfare.

The near enemies are qualities that arise in the mind and masquerade as genuine spiritual realization, when in fact they are only an imitation, servin to separate us from true feeling rather than connecting us to it... The near enemy of lovingkindness is attachment...At first, attachment may feel like love, but as it grows it becomes more clearly the opposite, characterized by clinging, controlling, and fear. The near enemy of compassion is pity, and this also separates us. Pity feels sorry for "that poor person over there," as if he were somehow different from us... The near enemy of sympathetic joy (the joy in the happiness of others) is comparison, which looks to see if we have more of, the same as, or less than another... The near enemy of equanimity is indifference. True equanimity is balance in the midst of experience, whereas indifference is a withdrawal and not caring, based on fear... If we do not recognize and understand the near enemies, they will deaden our spiritual practice. The compartments they make cannot shield us for long from
the pain and unpredictability of life, but they will surely stifle the joy and open connectedness of true relationships.

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities. http://www.livinglifefully.com/thinkersdalailama.htm
