Daily Dalai Lama Wisdom

When I was in Tibet I had little information, through books or from personal contact, about the nature and value of other traditions.
Since I've become a refugee, I have had more opportunity to have closer contact with other traditions, mainly through individuals, and I have gained a much deeper understanding of their value.
As a result, my attitude now is that each one is a valid religion.
Of course, even from the philosophical viewpoint, I still believe that Buddhist philosophy is more sophisticated, that it has more variety or is more vast, but all other religions still have tremendous benefits or great potential.
So on both bases, I think my attitude towards other religions is greatly changed.
Today, wherever I go and whenever I meet someone who follows a different religion, I deeply admire their practice and I very sincerely respect their tradition.

Gita-Mala - Bhaktivinoda Thakura

(Qualities Of Pure Devotion)

When I cherish Your name, Hari, the pure devotion
that is offered by You makes everything,
including merging with Brahman,
seem so petty and useless.

Stealing my breath away whenever I
am able to see Your eternal form
that is nourished by the infinity of bliss and knowledge,
the happiness that used to haunt my mind
is discarded as garbage is discarded in lonely alleyways.

Sportively performing Your pastimes with devotees
across this dark universe, You are never able to
part from them; knowing that separating
Your own self from such pure devotees
would break their hearts
for an unlimited amount of vast cycles of time.

If showering Your favor on this insignificant soul,
direct me to the place where
pure devotion is openly celebrated
and openly accepted by Your Good Grace.

Finding my life as good as empty
without the companionship of one of Your pure devotees,
reveal to me that rare vision of one who has
held onto Your lotus feet and has not
discredited them as being lesser.

All that I wish for is for Your grace
to activate my spiritual life
and to make my heart
into an oasis of pure devotional mellows.

Whistle like a Bulbul

God loved birds and invented trees. Man loved birds and invented cages. -- Jacques Deval

I must have been around eight or nine years old when one fine evening Dad came home from work and gave us a little surprise. He placed his bag in the middle of our room and put his hands inside his bag to reveal a small nest that was home to three tiny baby Bulbuls. On one of his rotational shifts, Dad was posted at Butcher Island (Jawahar Dweep) -- an island off the coast of Mumbai. Most of the island is covered with dense vegetation. It was from here that Dad picked up this little nest.

Bulbuls are a family of medium-sized passerine songbirds. The Bulbuls that Dad bought home were brownish in colour with a crest on their heads. They were very small and unable to fly. As a little girl I was thrilled to see them. Next day, a cage was bought and the cage became their new abode.

Out of the three one of them died immediately. The remaining two Bulbuls grew up and soon became a part of our family. Out of the two one of the Bulbuls was my favourite. I remember grinding Bengal gram in fine powder and then mixing water to form a thick paste. This was their meal which I would feed them with my index finger. With their little beaks they would pick up the food. They would look at my finger; shake their little heads and size up the best position to pick up the food. They would then drink water from small vessels that were kept at the respective ends of their cage.

After a full meal they would fly to their favourite place -- the swing situated at the centre-top of their cage and doze off blissfully. I would sometimes gently shake their swing to put them to sleep. When it would be dusk they would fly helter-skelter within the cage, giving us a signal that it was time to cover their cage with a cloth and introduce darkness for them to sleep. The Bulbuls would sleep with their heads shoved at the back of their wings making them look like cute little brown powder puffs. And they would take their one foot in and sleep on just one foot.

They were full of life with an innate capability of picking up tunes. There’s a particular tune played in the last dance routine in most Indian Catholic weddings. My parents would often whistle this tune repeatedly to our two Bulbuls. Gradually, they picked up this tune. One day when we came home from a family function we were in for a little surprise. The moment we opened the door both the Bulbuls merrily began whistling this same tune, which my parents had taught them. As if to express how happy they were to see us!

In my home everybody knew how to whistle, except me. I would try my best but I just could not manage to whistle. The time spent with my Bulbuls enabled me to imitate their sounds. And then one fine day I, finally, learnt to whistle -- just like a Bulbul. Their love enabled me to reach out for what I thought was impossible.

After a year or so the second Bulbul, too, had died. Only my favourite Bulbul remained all alone in the empty cage. And then one fine morning when I removed the cloth on their cage a ghastly sight greeted me. My Bulbul was dead -- lying upside down with his one foot tightly clasping the swing. He probably died in his sleep. Till today that image is still fresh in my mind. From that day onwards we never kept birds as pets.

Even though we snatched their freedom they still loved us. It is said true love leaves an indelible mark in some part of your mind or soul. But in my case my Bulbul’s love left its imprint in the most unusual place of my self -- my whistle! And till today, even after so many years, I continue to whistle just like a Bulbul…

(My small prayer)

Dear God,

Every creature is created in love by you. Man has no right to separate young birds from their mothers and put them in cages. Pour out compassion in our hearts that we may be compassionate towards other beings. I hope, wish and pray that birds all over the world may be released from their cages and soar high in the skies. For this world belongs as much as to these little beings as much as it belongs to us.
Amen.

Little Red Bag

At one of our NOG meetings (Nourishing Our Gifts), I met Carolyn. I was amazed that she had taken it upon herself to greet prisoners when they were released from the prison in Huntsville, Texas. She would meet them at the bus terminal where many of them had no one to meet them while they were trying to get back “home”.

Carolyn indicated that at their release from prison, the prisoners received a little red bag to put their belongings in. Everyone in town who saw the red bag knew that the person was just released from prison. The red bag was a two edged sword. Criminals knew the person who carried it had money. Police and towns folk knew the carrier of the bag could be trouble. For Carolyn, the red bag was not something that positively helped the newly released prisoners in their first experience of freedom after fulfilling their personal debt to society.

Carolyn made it a personal campaign to replace the red little bag with backpacks that did not attract attention. She succeeded in doing so and earned many sincere thanks from the newly released about to re-enter society.

This story was very touching. How thoughtful of Carolyn to help prisoners have a better chance of creating a new life for themselves and not attract negativity. The little red bag was a symbol of being disadvantaged at the get go, no matter how well intentioned the prison’s leaders were.

One meaning of prison is “place of confinement”. Can the confinement be just physical? Of course not!! Our biggest source of confinement is our mind. What little red bag do we carry? In what way do we keep ourselves at a disadvantage from the get go in our spiritual journey?

Little Red Bag

Have you heard the story of the man
just released from confinement?

Confinement that may be
physical, emotional or mental.

He was given a red little bag to carry his belongings.

The little red bag was an attractor.

It attracted everyone and everything, good and evil.

The little red bag conveyed a message by the one carrying it.

I have broken society’s law or my own divine law.
I have made mistakes.
I am not perfect.
I have been judged and have paid my dues.

People seeing the red bag would interpret it as:
Let us take away his resources.
He is trouble.
Let us put him back in his confinement.

What little red bag do you carry with you
verbally, emotionally or spiritually?

Will you allow yourself to reinvent yourself with a new vision
or do you choose to stay in the past, reliving the old stories and their patterns?

How do you judge other people carrying their little red bags?

CHANNELED ASCENSION MESSAGE FROM THE HIGH COUNCIL OF ORION 9th Dec 2012

CHANNELED ASCENSION MESSAGE FROM
THE HIGH COUNCIL OF ORION
COUNTDOWN DAY 12
DECEMBER 9TH 2012.

Channeled by Holly Hawkins Marwood

CREATING YOUR ENVIRONMENT


“Greetings Dear Ones. We are the High Council of Orion.

Today our message is one that is a little more practical, definitely grounded in your physical reality! What we would like to talk to you today is about your environment. We are not speaking about global environmental concerns. What we’re speaking about is your environment where you choose to work and live and play. For while there are many issues and concerns about what's going on on beloved Gaia; the positive and the negative things that have (been) done to the beautiful being of light who had sustained and supported you, and will continue to do so.

What we’d like to focus on today is honoring your personal environment. It is from that place of each individual honoring and caring for their personal environment that allows the ripple out effect to shift and change the environmental consciousness within the planet and on the planet. The respect for the environment starts with the individual’s respect for their own personal environment. We hear your minds thinking already about all the environments you have no control over such as your work environment, unless of course you work for and buying yourselves!

Our focus for the moment will be on the environments that you do have control over such as where you live. We’ve spoken before about sacred space and finding some sacred space for you to be able to have that “time out” from the world to connect with your heart, connect with your Soul and allow yourself to be informed by your capital S, Self. This is an extension of that.

But we’ll be speaking even a little more practically than that. How is the emotional energy in your environment? Do you have stress when you're at home? Are relationships uncomfortable? Do you feel brokenhearted and lonely, tapping into your sadness, when you're at home?

We’re going to share some very practical tips here about creating a space within your home that extends beyond your sacred space within your home. So that you can create a consciousness of mental and emotional peace and see that there are small things that you can do to change the energetic within your space.

For energy, as you know, can be changed and transformed in a variety of ways. So if you have a space that you come home to, your personal environment, that feels uncomfortable to you, you don't feel that you can relax and be yourself in that space of your home, or even your room in a home that you share with others, we ask you to take a look at it. Is it the physical environment? Do you need to move things around? Do you need to clear clutter? Do you need to organize? Do you even need to buy a new bedspread? We're not making light of that. Perhaps there are things that you can do to easily shift energy in your home: opening the windows to allow light and air in, putting beautiful artwork on the wall that uplifts you regardless of what others think and feel.

Perhaps it’s adding plants. For every one knows the value of plants and the positive aspect of the negative ions that come off of the plants that help transform the environment. They are in service to you and your highest level of well-being when they are in your home and sharing your space. You honor them as beings doing just that.

Are you more enlivened and up-lifted by scents? If so, bring in natural scents that bring you to the mood of the Heart: of joyfulness, aliveness. Use essential oils. The natural ones are better. For all those smells of nature were intended to work with us and allow us to have the best environment possible.

Do you love the sound of running water? Would adding a little fountain or water feature in your home allow you to feel that you can connect with nature and benefit again from the beautiful negative ions flowing off of that to enliven and add that positive energy to your space and your personal environment? Does burning incense or sage or any other sacred plant material uplift and enliven you?

What about the beauty within the crystals? The crystals that have been formed over millennia within the earth, with their outstanding colors, the exquisite way they refract light, and not only that, the energy that they bring to the environment to shift the energies. If you're not sure where to start with that we sit suggest selenite. We suggest Himalayan rock crystals. For they are beautiful to look at and the energies they emanate will transform your space as you look at them and as you feel the shift in the energies around you. If you feel drawn to the crystal realm, research crystals and find the ones that speak to your heart. We encourage you to find the ones that speak to your heart and not your mind and your logic. What feels right? What looks right? If you have a crystal by your bed, at your desk, next to the phone, in the kitchen when you look at it does it raise your spirits because you love the beauty in it, because you know the energy it's emitting?

There are so many things you can do to enliven your space using the gifts of nature around you. They’re gifts of nature as she desires to work with us in harmony. As we tune in to our physical environment we again are enlivening our connection to our Source. As we do so we enliven the moments in our life.

We spoke mostly about your personal space in your home, yet if you have an office at work, if you have even just a desk that you do your work at, adding a plant or a crystal or perhaps even a little candle that doesn't burn, but has natural aromatherapy in it that you can smell the scent of whether it's burning or not. All of that and shift and change your personal environment. They’re visual reminders of your connection to nature, your connection to yourself, and your desire to live in a more connected to Heart and Soul space. Be creative in creating your environment that enlivens you.

Be Blessed.

We are the High Council of Orion.”

Power Up | Energy Fields of Consciousness

David Hawkins M.D., Ph. D., internationally renowned psychiatrist, physician, researcher, and pioneer in the fields of consciousness research and spirituality, writes and teaches from the unique perspective of an experienced clinician, scientist, and mystic.

In his book ‘Power versus Force’ Hawkins presents a Map of Consciousness. Using millions of calibrations on thousands of people through applied kinesiology, a vibrational frequency [hertz] was assigned to attitudes, perceptions, and feelings, localized by specific attractor energy fields, similar to electromagnetic fields gathering iron filings. In other words human thoughts and feelings positive and negative magnetize a matching vibrational frequency in outer reality.

Your Daily Reading: “Living Wide Awake” A Mystical Healing Influence 12/10/12

Today ushers in the energy of enjoying having mystical and metaphysical interests.
These energies can prove to be very effective and healing in psychic matters.
Opposing Energies: greed, delays, fear, scarcity consciousness
Even if you think you don't have any natural gifts, you'll notice some inspiring thoughts that help you accomplish a great deal more than you ever thought possible.
Wide Awake Words™ for today: common sense, luck, optimism
Success, abundance and being focused on money and finances; some with a distant interest, such as a hidden money outlet or partner, promises prosperity by making a difference.
Regardless of Mercury Retrograde (shadow period), this strong healing influence will go off without a hitch.
Peace.

LOVE SILENCE

One of the old Zen haikus is 'THE OLD POND... PLOP!' -- vizualise it -- an ancient pond, very old. You can see by the rocks, by the moss that has gathered on the rocks, you can see by the trees that are standing on the bank. Everything shows its very ancientness. THE OLD POND... PLOP!, a frog jumps in, Plop!' And you can go on sitting of the bank of the pond but the sound of the frog jumping in is not going to disturb you. In fact, it will enhance. You will see that from before the frog jumped in to after the frog has disappeared into the pond, the silence has deepened.

And the same can be done with everything in the world -- the traffic noise, the train passing by or the aeroplane in the clouds, the thunder, the lightning -- everything can become just a background. You have to be alert, watchful, relaxed, resting in your being. Just simply being, not doing anything, then nothing disturbs. Things go on happening and you remain untouched like a lotus leaf in the water. And that's what sannyas is all about living in the world and yet not being part of the world, living in the world but not allowing the world to live in you.

A sannyasin has to grow great love for silence. Unless you love silence totally, it cannot happen. And if you love, it is bound to happen. Love functions like a magnet. Once there is great love for silence you have created the magnet and then, from everywhere, from all the directions and dimensions, silence starts pouring in you like river, pouring into the ocean.

There are people who would like to be silent, but just liking is not enough -- love is needed. Liking is very lukewarm, it is so-so. Love means you are passionately involved. Love means it is a question of life and death. Love means intensity, totality.

And the great gifts of life are only for people who are ready to go totally into something, whether it is silence, freedom, truth -- it does not matter what it is. All the ultimate values require you to be a lover. Sannyas is a love affair with silence.

This was my first marriage to the father of my two Angels, my daughter's. I might have been in hell, but Jesus gave me Love for my daughter's and hope to Live!

I HAVE PROBLEMS CAUSE MOST DONE ME WRONG. JESUS BRING ME GOOD PEOPLE. THANK YOU. I WAS MARRIED 12 YEARS. A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPES BY A HUSBAND. HE TOOK EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY FROM ME.EVEN THE CAREER I WANTED AS A MASSAGE THERAPIST. HE SABOTAGED IT NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE! I WAS TOLD I WAS HIS BITCH AND WITH THE RINGS I WAS HIS PROPERTY. FOR MY FIRST TWO WEEKS OF MY SO CALLED MARRIAGE I WAS NOT ABLE TO TOUCH HIM, KISS HIM, HUG HIM NOR LOVE HIM! I WAS ONLY TO COOK, CLEAN AND TAKE CARE OF MY DAUGHTER LATER ON. THEN ANOTHER DAUGHTER. HE ACTUALLY STARVED ME FROM LOVE AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY. BEGAN TO SELL THINGS, BREAK THINGS AND STOPPED EVERYTHING I LOVED DOING. HE STARTED BY TAKING AWAY FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS, PETS HE KEPT EVEN WHEN I TOLD MY DAUGHTER WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A DOG THAT PEED ON HER. NOR CATS THAT DID THAT OR POOPED OR VOMITED ON HER, THAT RELATIVES GAVE HER. FOR HIM TO ABUSE THE ANIMALS TOO. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT A MAN , BUT HE WOULD LOOK A WOMAN UP AND DOWN AND UNDRESS HER WITH HIS EYES. HE WOULD LIVE THIS LIFE AS I RAISED MY TWO DAUGHTER'S WITH CONSTANT ABUSE AND VERBALLY IT WAS EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE HE SPOKE OR YELLED AT ME WAS DEROGATORY STATEMENTS. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SHOP UNLESS HE WENT WITH ME. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO STOP HIM FROM PINCHING MY DAUGHTER IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH. EVERYTHING I DID HE STOPPED. UNTIL I DIED AND HAD TO USE MY ABILITIES, MY LONG HAIR HE PULLED ME AT THE ROOTS AND DRAGGED ME AROUND THE HOUSES. THEN HE WOULD PUNCH ME UNTIL I WAS KNOCKED OUT. EACH TIME IN EVERY YEAR THAT WE WOULD MOVE. I WOULD WAKE TO FIND MYSELF IN DIFFERENT PLACES, WITH BRUISES EVERYWHERE. YOU ONLY SEE MY BEAUTY, MY KINDNESS. MY WOUNDS CUT DEEP. WITHIN MY HEAD. CONCUSSIONS CONTUSIONS, MIGRAINES, VERTIGO, VOMITING. HEAD DISORDERS AND MORE. HE WOULD TAKE ME DANCING AND BECOME THE DEVIL AND I COULD SEE THE DEVIL IN HIM. HE WOULD SQUEEZE MY FINGERS ON MY WEDDING RINGS AT THE DANCES AND AT HOME. HE STARTED AS A KIND MAN AND IN TIME,I SAY A MONTH HE BEAT ME. CONTINUALLY RAPED ME WHEN HE SMOKED OR DRANK. UNTIL I DROVE MYSELF TO A CLINIC. WHERE THEY TOLD ME TO LEAVE HIM ASAP! I WAS RAW AND TORN INSIDE. THEY ASKED ME HOW MANY PARTNER'S DID I HAVE. I ANSWERED JUST ONE, MY HUSBAND. I AM THE GREAT PSYCHIC THAT HELPS THOUSANDS BECAUSE OF THE LIFE AND ABUSE I ENDURED.

Soulwoman eMagazine: A Gift for You



Isn't it amazing how synchronicities show us the way? The Universe brought together all the right people - and circumstances - to help me create an online magazine for soul-centered women. And it brings me great pleasure to gift all my SN friends with our first issue on Abundance.

The wisdom in these pages is not what I would call 'mainstream.' We're not going to prescribe yet another diet or exercise plan. Actually, we're going to do something better: Our mission is to help you empower yourself so that you can literally attract everything you desire, rather than struggling and working so hard to keep you head above water all the time.

To support you in making this shift, we've assembled wisdom from wise women all over the world who are happy to show the way. Susan Kennedy from PlanetSARK shows us how to expand our experiences of support. Dr. Lara Fernandez discusses the three scarcity myths of love. Well-known social media personality Ariaa Jaeger instructs on how we can be a well of love. And that's only the beginning... Please join us for this rich and rewarding ride.

Much love,
Mia Rose

IS SENSE OF SELF, MIND AND REALITY A SENSE LIKE SIGHT AND HEARING?



If we seek to really experience 'reality' it will never be through our traditional senses of sight, sound, sensation, scent, taste or even the mind.


All forms of life, as we know it, are remarkable and a miracle in their own way but what makes humans extraordinary is our minds and the level of capacity it give us to imagine, have compassion, love and more. Many times people talk about the 'sixth' sense being a psychic ability but what if the mind itself IS the psychic ability we all have? It a cosmic irony we are trapped in our minds yet through our minds is our only path to freedom.

Nothing that you have ever experienced in your entire life has existed outside of your mind. The words you are reading right now are photons passing through your eyes to your brain and then an illusion of 'out there' is projected exactly like a dream that seems real but is not. If you feel a pin prick on your hand it is actually 'felt' in your brain but the illusion of sensation is 'projected' to your hand. Your hand 'cannot' feel anything.

Is is actually a myth that we only have just five (or six) senses. We also have a sense of balance, time, space and many more that are equally important and critical to our functioning. As with all senses we know general regions that specialize in various senses but there remains no 'place' that we can pin point, in the brain, that holds the mind. Yet, some how, which no one understands, a sense of mind and the infamous 'I' is formed. Smell, taste, touch, etc are all subjective to the users experiences, assumptions, expectations and in the same way so is our sense of self and ego that manifests the illusion of reality.

While no one really understands how our brains form the sense of self and consciousness one of the best explanations I've found is that our sense of mind is formed through a form of 'emergence'. Emergence is found throughout nature and brings order out of chaos. Some examples are when see a flock of birds, school of fish or perhaps when a sea of brain neurons manifests more then the sum of its parts. Another term that is common for this phenomena is the 'ghost in the machine'. Meaning our conscious and unconscious mind that runs everything but cannot be found anywhere. Regardless of all of our technological advances and understanding of how the brain functions this critical part of what it is to be human eludes us.

Too view the mind as a sense I find both interesting and compelling because it inspires some interesting thoughts and questions and am hoping to gain some more from whomever reads this. Think about it... what does it really mean if your mind is just an illusion in itself? So then I wonder if just like when someone loses their sense of sight their other senses get more acute could this also happen with the mind? I wonder if this is the core of meditation in that by cutting off the flood of information through our other senses that our sense of mind becomes more acute as well.

Be Open to a Quantum Leap

Last week was quite a social one: I saw many of my friends, which was really wonderful. I also got a lot done, especially over the weekend.

This is big week for us all -- this week's headline items are: Mercury moving from Scorpio back into Sagittarius on Monday; Venus connecting to the Moon's North Node on Wednesday (12/12/12); the New Moon happening on Thursday early morning (and it's a "Super Moon"); Uranus coming to a halt, also on Thursday morning, starting its direct motion again; Mercury opposing the Lunar Eclipse degree on Saturday evening; finally, Venus changing signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius, later in the evening (also on Saturday).

This week starts with the Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio on Monday, where it will remain until Tuesday afternoon. We feel emotions on a deeply personal level. We are motivated by the desire to get to the bottom of things -- superficiality won't work for us now -- and we instinctively read between the lines. The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power; it's an excellent time to rid ourselves of old fears and limiting habits.

This tends to be an emotionally colored, all-or-nothing, black or white experience -- it can therefore be an intimate, passionate time. As best as you can, avoid manipulation, brooding, and suspicion; instead, open to the wealth of your innermost feelings -- decide to go deeper, allowing all feelings to surface, as they need to. Remember: feelings are energy -- just energy that wants to be experienced, to move through us, and out of us. If we allow that process to happen, it can take 90 seconds or less, and in so doing, you will be embracing all of yourself Happy It's "Power vs. Force": Love connects us to the power within; fear causes "Force" to show up -- and this is ultimately what disempowers us and others. Choose love! Choose it whenever you can!

On Monday evening at 8:40pm EST, Mercury moves back into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius. It traveled there from late October through mid-November, before starting its retrograde phase; this time, it will remain in Sagittarius until the end of the year -- Dec. 31st, in fact.

When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our thinking goes from depth, to breadth -- we go from needing to plumb the depths of any given situation, to wanting to learn about a wide range of topics. Ideals are sought out; our thinking is more optimistic, and our faith increases. We are more equipped to believe, and to persuade. With Mercury in Sagittarius -- and Jupiter in Gemini -- we have two planets in each other's signs, where they support each other's agenda. There will be a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly over-thinking things. As best as you can, listen to your thoughts, tossing the ones that are no longer in alignment with who you are. Expand your thinking by tapping into your inner wisdom and connecting to a broader philosophy.

On Tuesday, we enter the Balsamic Moon phase; this lasts until the New Moon becomes exact early in the morning on Thursday. We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so that we can listen to our intuition. Rather than starting something new, complete existing projects -- and let go of that which no longer serves you. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Tuesday starts with a 9-hour Moon void of course (VoC) from 8:09am - 5:22pm EST. Use this intuitive time to spoil yourself and others. This is a great time to create deeper connections with yourself and others in your life. As always during VoC, take it easy, just go with the flow.

Have a fantastic week! A quantum leap is possible here -- be open to leaping ;-)
Many blessings,
Sonja
