Writing and sharing
Writing and sharing is such a cleansing and
elevating experience! Each time I write, I add a new thought to my own thought
bank. Something to chew on. Like, wow! I have unearthed another aspect, another
angle, deepening my understanding that much more.
After a while, it tends to become an
addiction. There is always an excitement before developing a thought. Like,
what will I discover next?
Thoughts being the prime energy, this
energy expands into new horizons as we write, think and write again. Every
spoken word, every line read somewhere…just about everything is available for
thought application if there is enough awareness and interest.

Circumstances
To deserve what you get! How far is this true?
Does everyone get what they deserve? "Deserving" is such a debatable
word. We all feel at one time or another that we didn't get what we deserved.
It is an imaginary yardstick we have for ourselves that makes or breaks us.
Who is really to say what we should have or
not have in terms of anything ? Or, deserve it for that matter.
How many times we set goals, work towards
them but fail to achieve them. Did we not deserve them then?
Likewise, we get pulled into a tunnel of
success in something we never even hankered after. Did we deserve that when we
did not ever work for it ? Was it luck? Or karma?
So, deserving is something it is better not
to focus on too much. You want to achieve something, go at it with full steam.
Try your best. Don't judge at all, whether you achieve your goals or not.
Because, this is a most positive way you can live your life. Circumstances may
change while you toil. You may also decide to change course along the way. Who knows?
So, why care or wonder about deserving at all? You had what you had. You have
what you have. You will have what you will have in the future. A perfect
attitude for contentment.

Sharing and caring
The healing properties that we have within
us are a reality. There are so many ways to cure one's bodily ailments if we
can cure our mental ailments. You know, the latter is the place where it starts
happening....
Diseases or "dis ease"s are
merely the discomfort that arises from leading a life of unawareness and
ignorance. From these emerge all our wrong patterns of thinking and living. And
these, in turn, affect our health.
I notice that when people have bonded, laughed
and even cried together, there is much joy in the heart, the joy of sharing and
caring. The reverse can be painful. The environment, the people, the
circumstances are all a part of our karmic experiences and how we respond
determines our levels of ignorance and awareness.
Just taking our awareness to those parts of
us which are hurting and understanding the reasons for the hurt can heal them.
Most important, accepting responsibility for everything that happens to us.
Requires basic knowledge and understanding
and we can be on our way to healing ourselves.

Sense of wisdom
Every phase in time has had priority
requirements. But none of the phases ever required atrocities, traumas, hatred,
intolerance, greed, war mongering and enmity in the name of separatist
"identities".
We keep hearing that "satyug"
will come back one day. And how well greed would be justified if we craved for
satyug as of yesterday. True, this planet cannot take any more negativity. All
the healers need to come together, connect and heal the planet and the gross
misdeeds of human beings regularly. The way this world is churning today, the
writing on the wall is very clearly visible.
Man is insatiable in seeking hell. Has lost
all sense of wisdom. Lives in an illusory imagination of permanence and delusions
of grandeur and Omni presence. The road leads to a "no man's land", darkness
beyond the imaginable.
Let the light shine again. Let this planet
know peace and joy, the brotherhood of man and man again. And let peace,
harmony and prosperity reign. It is long overdue.

Source of energy
We
seldom nurture our inner child. Since childhood, we are trained at the
conscious mind level to share, to give, to do things for others. But never
taught that it is equally important to love our inner child. Some children are
also abused for their ways. These kids grow up to subdue or even kill their
inner child because the signals they have received very early in life is that this
inner child is non functional. That it is that part of the personality that is
not required.
But
this inner child is the core of love. A child is very loving and very
spontaneous. Imagine, if this source is turned off, how this child would
survive as an adult. On arid ground. Without water.
I don't think there is anything more
detrimental than a lack of self love and the inability to get or feel that love
from others. Love keeps the softness within us alive. Be sure that those who
have a hardened exterior need love and frequent hugs more than others. Because
they show a facade and suppress a lot. Just like those who love attention and a
lot of limelight are deeply insecure.
There
is no alternative but love, to love yourself, to care and have compassion for
yourself first and then for others because they are fashioned in a similar way
to you and have the same source of energy to draw from. And therefore, connected.

Courage
When someone tells you that you don't have courage or lack
in it, please sit down and introspect very seriously. Because what you may well
be doing is compromising, letting others dominate, not allowing yourself to
move forward in life due to a spate of sacrifices that no one ultimately
remembered...and all this depriving you of the courage you need to strike out
to love yourself, develop your personality, learn to say "no" to
those you have spoilt with too much attention and be your own person.
So, maybe, you HAD the courage all along but never
prioritized on yourself and therefore, subjugated it deliberately in favor of
appeasing those around you and making them comfortable.
When you have a balance, it is when everyone realizes their
limits and stops trying to extract more from people than they SHOULD be giving.
There is a tipping point when caring becomes sacrifice and once too often at
that. Of course, unless there is a very definite reason NOT TO, each person
must show courage to focus on their own goals also, never mind if it does not
suit everyone around or causes some amount of discomfort owing to unwanted
changes...
So, please KNOW why you are
discarding courage and what the trade offs are for you. If the trade off
amounts to your suppression, no one has the right to do this and you may assert
yourself for sure? Analyzing the underlying reasons is most important in
retaining or discarding the courageous aspect of your personality.
