thought of the Week:
This is my commandment, that you love one another.
JESUS, quoted in John 15:12
Where
Do the Mermaids Stand ?
What
is right for one soul may not be right for another. It may mean having
to stand on your own and do something strange in the eyes of others.
Eileen
Caddy."Chicken Soup for the WOMAN'S SOUL"
The
is no reason for the modern day plagues that affect our world. As
I concentrate on them- AIDS, cancer, nuclear waste, depression - I
send out healing. Light, power and love across the world. A burst
of positive energy goes forth from me out into the Universe, cutting
down on the negativity in our world. Light washes over everything,
shutting out the darkness, stopping new forms of plague before they
take hold.
Yehuda
Berg "The 72 names of technology of the SOUL"
When
two people are at one in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the
strength of iron or bronze, and when two people understand each other
in their inmost hearts,their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance
of orchids.
I Ching
There
is only one religion, the religion of Love. There is only one caste,
the caste of Humanity. There is only one race, the Human Race.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Trust
in Trust,
Faith in Faith.
"And
you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
John 8:32
I
am dropping my ego and moving toward actual and lasting fulfillment.
I will restrain my selfish longings as I ask for what my soul needs,
not what my ego wants. Looking ahead, I want elevation for my soul,
real transformation. I will restrict my dark impulses and tendencies
toward negativity, complaining. I appreciate everything around me,
and reach into my soul at the deepest level to connect with real happiness
and true joy.
Yehuda Berg
In
ignorance, sin is natural.
In Enlightenment, virtue is natural.
Song of Mahamudra
Don't
dump a puzzle on the floor unless you have the time to put it together.
See
the impact of your decisions before you make them. Put a force-field
around the good things in your life to keep them good.
Yehuda Berg
Recognize
what is before your eyes, and what is hidden will be revealed to you.
The Gospel of Thomas
You
can not please people who are not pleased with themselves. They will
find fault with you no matter what you do. That's just the way they
are. And people who are pleased with themselves do not need you to
please them. That's just the way they are.
Harvey Cohen, Ph.D.
Treat
people as if they were what they should be, and you help them become
what they are CAPABLE of becoming.
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
This
is what you shall do: Love the Earth and Sun and the animals, despise
riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid
and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue
not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people
... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any
book, dismiss what insults your very soul, and your very flesh shall
become a great poem.
Walt
Whitman
May
all beings know peace and happiness,
May I practice loving kindness for myself and all others.
Sending gratitude into the world for music, for movement, for breath,
for being.
Jo
Cobbett
Again,
I'm within MYSELF.
I walked away, but here I come sailing back, feet in the air, upside-down,
as a saint when he opens his eyes from prayer;
Now.
The room, the tablecloth, familiar faces.
Rumi
Leaks
of energy were spoken about, but the worst of all is expressing negative
emotions. If you can stop the expression of negative emotions, you
will save energy and never feel the lack of it.
P.D. Ouspensky
Socrates
said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Self-study
involves seeing ourselves as we are, and struggling with the characteristics
of our being that prevent us from developing further.
If
you remove competitive desires from your life and just live within YOUR
OWN peace and perfection, your TIME becomes your own and simple things
will please you.

This

Jesus, quoted in John 15:12
Life
is like a puzzle.
Desires pull us in a million directions at one time.
Whatever exists in the moment, love it, and you will be free.

Zen Saying
I
believe in the sun even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when feeling is not.
I believe in God even when he is silent.

Jewish Prayer
That
you may have pleasure in everything,
Seek your own pleasure in nothing.
That you may know everything,
Seek to know nothing.
That you may possess all things,
Seek to possess nothing.
That you may be everything,
Seek to be nothing.

St. John of the Cross
Falling
down doesn't make you a failure,

This
life is a gift.
It is a university to learn, to become aware of all possibilities, experiences.
Go through them.

Osho Rajneesh

Heart is Comforted by True Words.

Rumi
Attachment
destroys courage. The giver is always ready to give. The taker is absent.
Freedom means letting go. People just do not care to let go of everything.
They do
not know that the finite is the price of the infinite, as death is the
price of immortality.
Spiritual
maturity lies in the readiness to let go of everything. The giving
up is the first step. But the real giving up is in realizing
that there is nothing to give up, for nothing is your own.
It
is like deep sleep - you do not give up your bed when you fall asleep
- you just forget it.
-
Sri Nisagadatta, I Am That
Happiness
is an attitude. If you are used to being unhappy, even in the best
of situations you'll still grumble and be unhappy. Nothing can make
you happy in the world.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Once
we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

Speaking
the right words.
I silence my ego and restrict.
I will not defame others, gossip or say hurtful things.
I am quiet as I connect to the LIGHT and allow the divine to be my
guide, to speak through me.
As a channel for the LIGHT, I speak words of LIGHT - love, hope and
positive energy.
My words will elevate my soul and others,
instead of bringing me, and others, down.
-
Yehuda Berg. "Technology for the SOUL"
If
I were to begin life again, I should want it just as it was; only
I would open my eyes a little more.

Sexual
energy.
I
will approach sex with passion, fully
present,putting my lover's needs before my own.
When
we are together,we will be a part of the divine Universe, fully connected
to the LIGHT and LOVE that we are generating.
During
sex I will be tuned in, letting
go of my own desires and allowing the genuine care and unity I share
with my partner to RADIATE into the COSMOS.
