Life 04 (Aug 09 - Sep 09)

[kennynah]

what is yesterday, today and tomorrow ... a mere concept to describe a passage of time... but space and time is infinite...there's no past and future.... it is in continuum ....

imagine if you and i could be suspended in space...facing each other for our entire lives... besides being bored to hell....we will witness the growth of our physical bodies and the eventually decay as well, all without having time past us by...... reinstating that time and space are infinitely bigger than you and i and jack add up...

People will say, "Well, I have to work on my goals," or, "I have to work on my visualization."

And we want you to think more about holding the vision because it is pleasurable to hold the vision, not because you're trying to make the vision work in order to get to some place that you're not now standing.

"How much should I work?" We would say, work in the sense of joyously moving forward

cannot agree more....

the english dictionary should not even have this word...TOIL.... it should be rendered meaningless...

[winston]

Human being is the repository of Divine energy. You are not poor in any sense. You are not weak or forlorn. You have all the capacity to experience divine bliss.

Despite these, sometimes one exhibits weakness. You should not take it amiss; modern life is giving rise to agitation, instead of elevation. Do not give rise to evil qualities like anger, greed, desire or jealousy. Never hurt others.

Sacred feelings are within you. Do not forget them. Do not commit sin by hurting others. Attain merit by serving others. Cultivate the virtues of humility, obedience, love and peace.

-Divine Discourse, 9 Oct 2002

Simply Because You Asked For It

Society encourages fighting for what we want and teaches us to be wary of things that come too easily. It prides itself in overcoming adversity and achieving goals with struggle, pain and hard work.

But the Universe is designed to give you what you want; everything it orchestrates is for your good. There is a stream of well-being and if you can only let yourself go with the flow of well-being, of the stream, life would be an exhilarating, joyous ride. Things will flow to you, through you and from you, effortlessly and easily.

There is no need to have pain in order to have gain. There is no need to struggle, fight or push against anything in order to get something else. All things are added unto you when you surrender to the stream and stop resisting it.

The Universe would deliver a million dollars right into your lap if you would only accept that it could and would. Why? Simply because you asked for it. Because you are worthy. Because you are adored. Because you are a magnificent, powerful co-creator and you are loved beyond measure, unconditionally, purely and wholly.

Surrender to this love and enjoy the divine, blessed ride that is your life.

Time is like a river flowing endlessly

Time is like a river flowing endlessly, but man has broken it up into three parts: the past, the present, and the future. The past is heavily burdened, and the future he does not know. Giving significance to life, a life that has no meaning, no purpose, no beauty, he says, “Let me live in the present.”

He invents a philosophy of life of the present. But to live in the present, man must understand the past and the future. It’s a movement; you can’t take this river and say, “ I live just there.” It’s like a river that is flowing, and in this stream of time man is caught. Unless there is an end to time, there is no ending to sorrow.

The Collected Works vol XVI, p 141

The Law of Attraction Assembles all cooperative Relationships... So here is this Vortex of becoming - a Vortex that contains all of the requests, all of the amended requests - each and every detail of each and every asking that has emanated from you - and the Law of Attraction is responding to that.

Envision this swirling, swirling, swirling Vortex and the power of attraction that is amassed as the Law of Attraction responds to this pure, nonresisted, focused desire. The Vortex is literally drawing in all things necessary for the completion of every request it contains. All cooperative components are being summoned and are coming for the completion of these creations, for the answering of these questions, for the solutions to these problems.

--- Abraham

Two Lessons I Learned in Pigeon Forge By Dr. Steve Sjuggerud

"What's the difference between a U.S. savings bond and a whitewater rafting guide? A savings bond earns money and matures eventually."

We'd just finished whitewater rafting with three generations of our family. On the bus ride back to the car, the whitewater guide was full of jokes.

"Where do you hide a rafting guide's paycheck? Under the soap."

He looked super fit... but his pockets and his bank account were no doubt empty. He didn't care. He was living his version of a rich life, today. He was living for experience, not "stuff."

His version of a rich life was simpler than mine... But I've been forced to live a simpler life this week. I've been cut off from the world. That's how I learned my first lesson...

I'd planned on working on this family vacation. But my cell phone doesn't get reception at the mountain house we rented, 30 minutes outside of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. And the satellite doesn't work either. So I have no Internet, e-mail, cell phone, or TV. Like I said, I've been cut off.

I've learned that, well, I'm not as important as I thought I was.

About once a day, I've driven 30 minutes into town to check my e-mail and phone messages, worried about what I might be missing at work or in the markets. You know what? It turns out, I'm not that important... and life goes on.

It's been a bit like rehab. I'm detoxing from technology. And it's a good thing... an accidental lesson from Pigeon Forge.

That's the good lesson. The bad lesson is, America is in real trouble.

Our river guide was one of the very few fit people I've seen here. I'd say 90% of the people I've seen are overweight... and many of them obese. If these folks are any indication of the average American, we're in trouble.

I had a hard time finding a gym here in Pigeon Forge. "We're the only gym you can walk into in town," Gina at the desk told me when I asked. Meanwhile, there are several dozen pancake houses in town.

We took our little kids (and the grandparents) to the Disneyland of Tennessee this week... Dollywood. The kids loved it. The grandparents were good sports, joining the kids on just about every ride they tried. The place was close to Disney quality. Not bad! But the people attending Dollywood... whoa! This generation of Americans will, without a doubt, be the first to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

We're heading home today. I'm leaving here with two important lessons... two things that will allow me to lead a longer, "richer" life:

First, I don't need to do the "Blackberry Prayer" – typing messages on my phone – through the day. I particularly want to avoid it around my kids. It can wait. I don't want them to think my phone is more important than them.

Second, I'll set a fitness goal. Like the whitewater guide, I'll get out and do something. If you go with the flow these days – with portion sizes, fast food, convenience stores, pancake houses – you'll get fat, without a doubt. You really have fight against this stuff in America.

Unplugging from technology and pushing back against obesity... these things won't mean more money in your pocket. But living a "rich" life – like the whitewater guide – isn't about how much money you have in the bank. To me, a rich life is making the most of it.

What you need today is unwavering faith in the Divine. Faith in the Divine alone can protect you.

Under all circumstances, at all times, consider the Divine as the basis of your life. Give up evil qualities like anger, greed, jealousy, etc. Anger is a fire that always keeps burning. Desire is the cause of one's downfall. Hence, eradicate desire and anger within you. Develop Love for the Divine, learn the language of the heart.
