Similarities

 Everything is energy. Words have their own energy. Therefore, we must be very careful in what we say. To others, definitely but it is equally important what we say to ourselves.

I constantly catch myself saying very debilitating words to myself when I am angry or unhappy or even depressed. Running ourselves down, beating ourselves up for the mistakes we make… the ensuing anger and self-deprecation can become very hardened, like cement, over a period of time. And healing that becomes a difficult task.

Without realizing this, a lot of this is internalized through external sources and people. They seem to compound our already shaky opinions of ourselves.

We tend to cling on to the negative angles of every episode in our lives, forgetting that there are positive ways to look at the same episode. And those who can SEE the positivity have only an increasing positive energy in their words.

Our acceptance of everything depends on this. See things as just different instead of contrary to us and to see how peace can descend without conflict. See similarities instead of differences and your words will become gentle and comforting.

There is no need to run anyone down. Each one is here just to experience their body of karma. No one can be a clone of you. An apple cannot be an orange and a rose cannot be an orchid. They are all unique.

So are we, souls out here to help each other through each life to fulfil our soul contract.

So, guard your energies. With your thoughts, words and actions.

Live and let live amicably.

Reciprocity

It takes years to build relationship bridges. And not even a day to burn them. Valuing people when you get benefits out of them is nothing very spectacular. This is not the reason to sustain a relationship.

It’s caring, ever ready to help in need, unconditional love and a lot of understanding of their situations that cement bonds.

As you grow older, you feel the need to cement these bonds even more. Sometimes, you work alone and don’t get the same feeling reciprocated. So then the onus is on you. I don’t understand how you can suddenly “un love” a person. If you can, then that was never love.

That’s why it is said that love is its own reward. Love, if it fills up your heart. Don’t worry about any reciprocity.

Though, the heart chakra works to give and receive. And does get blocked if either one of the functions is partially or completely blocked. And this chakra is also a bridge between the earth and access to our higher self.

So much awareness is required each second. And we fail to be conscious enough. The joy of feeling the consciousness changing the inner environment to a lighter and warmer one has to be experienced.

Faith

Wisdom says “don’t overthink”. But it is not easy, especially when you crave answers that are not forthcoming any time soon. And as time passes and you live in more and more uncertainty, thoughts and questions deepen … overthinking is natural.

These symptoms are indicative of a need to be in control of your life. Uncertainty in the smaller things is still acceptable but when it concerns your important things like relationships, success, you need that knowledge to be comfortable.

Fear of the unknown is a major disaster waiting to explode anytime you can’t gauge or anticipate its severity. But conversely, you have no control over it either.

The only thing that makes sense then, is to hold on. And hold your wisdom in your space. To strengthen your resolve to remain steady within your faith, for that is worth holding space for, for miracles in your life.

Wisdom

When we are young, we are vulnerable. Life has not poked us enough. But as we move through life, all kinds of experiences are busy teaching us and we are kind of getting dragged by our see saw of emotions, now sinking and now swimming, gasping for breath, desperate for balance and survival.

By the time we learn to cope with all of these, we have lost our youth and gained the wisdom and strength we wish we had in our youth. We truly start living only after 40 or so. Until then, we ARE struggling to get stronger to face life headlong.

Universal Energy

 Today, we see many younger people not invested in “family”. It is a reality to be accepted clinically, not emotionally, using tags like” sad” and “ungrateful”. Every change is meant to be.

As we raise our consciousness to the next level of the perception of universal expansion, we must understand that individual consciousness has to be taken more seriously than it is taken. That getting stuck in emotional patterns can be a massive roadblock to opening new vistas of understanding.

We speak of 4th and 5th dimensions without knowing what they are. These are all within us. Within our scope of realization. And possible only when we move on from our past, our emotional and physical crutches and into our higher selves to feel those higher frequencies.

Let us remind ourselves every minute that we are not our body, our mind, our senses, our emotions and work on our soul expansion. Self-gratification has to be redefined henceforth. Because only with a change of the present mindset can we move towards an expansion of awareness and consciousness to actually feel a sense of unity and integration with universal energy.

Ignorance

 Can our purpose in life be to just spend it in handling relationships? Compromising, pleasing hurt egos, giving dutifully that often becomes a one-way traffic.

Honestly, I am very doubtful we gain much, if anything, by doing so. We are probably very far from the truth about our soul requirements.

All the pain, the grief, the struggles are so ignorance based! But ironically, we HAVE to go through all of these to understand we were in the wrong space.

The reason we give so much importance to relationships is not always to learn from those interactions, to know what to do and what not to do in our journeys.

Unfortunately, it is more because we cannot live without dependence. People / groups make us feel relevant and give us a sense of importance and well-being. And this gives us a sense of comfort, even validation.

But this also deprives us of any effort to build up an awareness that this is not the real “us”.

That is why, among the large population in the world and several spiritual gurus out there, spiritual awakening is a rare path.

We can say that today; more people are beginning to understand the importance of developing a spiritual consciousness as being of equal importance. Also that, this knowledge improves the way we live on this earth. Because their experiences in life without a spiritual quotient have been exhausting. 

I will keep emphasizing this ad nauseum even, and if even one person learns to embark on that path, it is a life well spent.

Inspiration

 Clarity of thought inspires a powerful life. Clear energy and therefore, focused.  And the clearer, the purer. You can’t go wrong. The right kind of power shines through without effort and very naturally.

Such people illuminate their lives and their surroundings. So, imagine if there were many more, how much of this world they could illuminate and what the quantity of energy could do with the positive vibrations throughout the world?

Sadly, a utopia at the moment. Too much accent on the artificial!
