Purity of intention

 Our points of view create our reality , not the other way round. But we don’t take the responsibility of creating our own future. We prefer to blame the world, the power centres and everyone else. We don’t think we are important in helping create that reality which is currently ours.

What can we do to shift our gears into what kind of a world we want to live in ? We are constantly looking for that one person or people to make our world better. But only WE can make our worlds better. We just don’t get it !

Any salutary action, any small shift into the light can work as an inspiration to so many . And soon, waves of benevolence will be created. I can CHOOSE to be who I want to be. And this has absolutely nothing to do with anyone but each of us. We can influence, inspire hope and a higher consciousness in those around us. And alleviate the hopelessness around.

The thing is , the tools to heal even in tough times like these are simple. Provided we keep ourselves simple. If only we could just feel the elements outside and within us and leave all judgement there ever has been.

If we don’t start, we never reach anywhere. It is so easy to get embroiled in the trivia of this world. Let us light our lamp and then those of others with our purity of intentions. .. to light up the world.

Judgment


What is fair? What is just? And what is truth? Actually, there isn’t any simple answer. Because we are constantly exposed to so many angles of the same story, so many different perspectives, that we arrive at our personal perspective and understanding of the truth and take that as gospel truth. Our convictions are also based on several viewpoints which culminate into one so called “truth. And we hold onto it at the cost of conflict with another person’s views.
But truth lies somewhere between all these perspectives and our understanding may not be quite there. That is why it is not wise to judge. You really don’t know. What you think you know may not be anywhere close to the truth. And therefore, it is not really wise to get into discussions of this nature.
So, better not to claim to know and hence, avoid judgments.

Visualization


When we think negative, we tend to think and see the worst in everything. We also tend to be more pessimistic during such phases. It can turn into a vicious cycle of thinking the worst, losing hope and again, thinking the worst because we lose hope. This pattern goes into a loop.
But I have also seen such patterns replaced by some very remarkable positive ones. The trick is to always visualize a candle in the darkness. And that flame can expand and expand until there is no darkness. After all, darkness is just an absence of light, isn't it?
The power of thought and of constant positive visualization is irreplaceable. If only humans knew how to channelize their higher self which is a powerhouse?
