“Too much of good things, gives power to bad things.”

That, is the question.

Finding and living The Middle Way. Without bad there is no good, and the further we move toward either, we find that sooner or later we can only go in the other direction. The harder we try to justify our good the more we suffer when we move toward bad, and when we are as bad as we thought we could ever be the only thing we can do is move toward good. The existence of duality is good and bad, right and wrong, or birth and death. Duality stops and we find peace and glimpses of enlightenment, when we can find balance, the middle way or non-duality. For instance, Divorce is what it is. There is nothing good or bad about it, there were as many good times as there were bad. If the focus is on the good times divorce would be bad, and if the focus is on the bad times it would be good. It only has to be what it is, we only have to do what we have to do, and to find peace we need to find somewhere between good and bad. Finding the right place in the middle, in our minds where we find peace where there is non-duality. That is the right way to live the time between birth and death the middle way we call life.

Success in life can only be determined by each individual person and the things that determine success for each person depends on the things that they want out of life. Some people view success as making a lot of money, having great job, having a lot of possessions or having recognition from others. Others may view success as having a loving family, giving to or helping others, or just paying their bills on time. Success comes to us all in different areas of our lives and we are our own worst critics when it comes to whether we are successful or not.

Be The Lotus Flower!

The lotus has its roots in the mud, Grows up through the deep water, rising to the surface. It blooms into perfect beauty and purity in the sunlight. It is like the mind unfolding to perfect joy and wisdom.

“Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.” Seneca –

The Oneness We Seek

Looking for a way to be one with you, there’s no one thing that’s right to do. The things I learn I take to heart, and pass them on in all or part. The world is good if you choose, and people listen for I have news. There are ways to be one like we seek, and to those thing is what I speak. Love all others for who they are, no matter how near or how far. Listen to the things they teach, even though you have to reach. Understand they have their views, what you keep you have to choose. Remember things from the past, the teaching you let go too fast. From all people we can learn, and bring the oneness for that we yearn. Look inside yourself with all your might, and know that you’re not always right. Accept all the views under the sun, for what they are and we will be one.

“I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.” Dalai Lama

Today is a new day and I hope you all find things that make you all more of the person you want to be and ways to get the things you want in your lives.

If there is anything I can do or you need help contact me. I am here for you and we are all one.

Love thy neighbor, as thyself

“Love is a state of Being. It’s a forgiving, nurturing, and supportive way of relating to the world. Love isn’t intellectual and doesn’t proceed from the mind. Love emanates from the heart. It has the capacity to lift others and accomplish great feats because of its purity of motive.” David Hawkins,MD

GOOD STUFF

There is bliss inside of you. One must try to be quiet to find this bliss.

It is all in the trying

If we agree to disagree, at least we agreed on that…

“Believes that everything happens for a reason., so don’t have regrets… coz without the bad things, you wouldn’t be the strong person you are today” N.P.L

Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else. Judy Garland

The recovery of our inner spirit is in the process not in the outcome and is all about what we are doing in this moment.

Nothing ever goes away, until it has taught us what we need to know.

Empathy is part of my spiritual journey and the oneness found has eased my suffering.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Today is a great day to work on myself and share with others. If I want to keep growing spiritually I have to be open to the views, values, and principles of all religions. Though there may be parts of different Religions I might not agree with, I need to ask myself if I understand what is being spoken by a particular person and if I need to be more open to the views of others religions. I need to remember religions though blamed for many acts of war and intolerance throughout history, have in fact done more good for the world than bad.

A very simple way of meditating is concentrating on your breath. The breath is like a bridge between your body and mind. When you concentrate on your breath for a while, your body becomes relaxed and your mind becomes peaceful.

MEDITATION

Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities. Spiritual matters are thus those matters regarding humankind’s ultimate nature and meaning, not only as material biological organisms, but as beings with a unique relationship to that which is perceived to be beyond the bodily senses, time and the material world.
