What if everything that is happening in your life and the lives of others, all events, all phenomena is happening for you, others, humanity, the world, the universe for it's continual evolution? How would that change the way you think about the past, present and future? About all events that took place throughout the history of the universe, humanity, and you?

We can use every opportunity to return to Divine Presence. Use every moment of life to return to God - the pain, the suffering, the obsession, the lust, the agony, the jealousy, everything can point us back to God. Use it. Return again and again, and remain here for as long as you can.

Deep freedom arises when you can be kind without expecting kindness in return.

Most suffering arises from a mental concept of something or someone and your attachment and repulsion towards that mental concept.
Labels: attachment, mental concept, repulsion, suffering
We often reduce human being to their opinions, beliefs, mistakes and shortcomings, we forget their humanity and their hurts. We blame, shame and criticise them, make them small, insignificant, and sometimes even dehumanise them, and make them the enemy. Our thoughts and beliefs take over our essence, our presence, and so we create misery for ourselves and our world.
Whenever we believe we are better than others, we will never be able to accept or make peace with them. We will never have true relationships. Only transactional ones.
Learn to become patient with your own impatience. Instead of trying to be patient, simply create space with your own impatience. Be compassionate to impatience. Be kind. Then you soon realise that impatience fades away in it's own time, in it's own way - without any force or effort. All it requires is your kind attention and space for it to be, as it is.

Is when you can love even those who put a blade through you
Here your love is unconditional, pervasive and expansive
You are fully connected to Source. You are consumed in God.
The freedom, the peace, the joy, the love comes form the Infinite.
You have fully risen above the game of survival.
This is the highest form of existence.
You have become nothing.
And hence, everything.

Why resist what is, when what is, is exactly God's Will.
Why resist God's Will, when God's Will is exactly, what is.
Surrendering to "what is" (God's Will), returns you to your natural state - inner peace - which is in fact the natural state of the universe.
In contrast, resistance places you in the state of suffering. The state of mis-alignment with God's Will.
Aligning one's own will to that of the Divine, returns you to peace.
From this state, the quality of your being, your presence, begins to transform your life, your relationships, and the world.

Whenever you feel hurt by another, the first thing to do is to bring compassion, kindness towards yourself and your hurt. Know that the hurt is normal, natural and real. It requires your own deep care and compassion. Once you do that, and only then, if you wish, you can extend that compassion to the other person. If you do not wish, continue to bring loving kindness to yourself. You will know when you are ready to extend this. The extension will be natural and organic - never forced.

No matter how holy someone is, in form, we all carry filth with us and each and every one of us are polluting the environment through our mere consumption and our excrement. We are all imperfect in form. This we have in common. What we also have in common is out completeness in Divine Presence. In fact we carry this commonality with all creation. We are inherently both insignificant in this vast universe while also being infinitely significant when we discover the Divine within us - as well as in all of life, all creation. Rest in this beauty that lies deep within.
Labels: commonality, completeness, Divine Presence, incompleteness
When the Whole is not seen and appreciated for what it is, diverse, vast, different, opposing, then enemies are created out of this perceived difference in form. The outsiders. The others. The enemy. The insiders feel warm and fuzzy because they feel united, they feel one against the enemy or the outsiders. There is a cost to this. Human unconsciousness, and deviation from the Divine. The Divine that permeates all things, not one group but all groups, not one nation, but all nations. Not one religion but all religions.

When you become still, then you allow the Divine to work through you. All that arises and is manifested in you and from you will be from the Divine, the Master of the Universe, God. You can no longer claim anything but can instead be filled with peace and gratitude.

The true purpose of life is not about always gaining, but how you respond to loss of what you have or not been given an opportunity to get something you almost had or a lost opportunity. Remaining in stillness, unperturbed in such circumstances determines your true quality of mind, and hence your life. Any turmoil means you are at the mercy of the external world for your happiness, forgotten the deep peace within - masked by the ego. Return to Self. Be still. Even when you hold turmoil in your stillness, you transmute turmoil into peace. You become spacious. Vast.

If you never experience anger, how can you rise above it to be peace and compassion?
I you never experience fear, how can you rise above it by being courage?
If you never experience resentment, how can you rise above it to be forgiveness?

to be larger than you could ever be
To evolve into new heights
And from there shine light onto this world.

Realign every speck of your being with Reality - with the Universe. With Life. With Source. With God. The Essence of Life. Let ever atom, and every cell of our body prostrate before the Master of the Universe. Feel every little speck of you bowing before Thee. There you will enter a peace that cannot be known by the mind. A peace uncaused, a peace and joy, and love that emanates from the Infinite. For a moment you will feel "what more could I want". Return to this as many times as you can. Remain here for as long as you can. It is the most worthy place to be.
Labels: realign, return, the source
Let every speck of your being, every cell, and every atom of your body be present with the Master.

Let yourself remember your root, your source, the Source of all Life.
Let yourself be immersed in the Infinite Light and Infinite Love that permeates everything.
All you will need to do, is remember.
Be still, and you will enter the Kingdom.

I am the oneness that I was.
Billions of years ago, I split myself into many. I created "you" and "me." I entered into delusion.
Then I began to compete with myself.
I gathered myself into tribes and communities.
Yet I still kept parts of myself away and separate: the "others." I divided myself into more and more labels - even based on the variation of my skin color. I separated, fought, and competed with those parts of myself that I saw as separate.
Now, I am rediscovering who I was,
The oneness that I was,
The oneness that I am.
Through separation, I have rediscovered my oneness with all of life.
That knowledge could not have been known without the first separation.
My delusion is finally coming to an end.
With gratitude, I am returning home.
I am EVERYTHING that you see.
I am the cause of all the world's problems.
I am also the healer of all wounds.
I am the wrath of the world.
I am also the joy.
I am the agony.
I am also the peace.
I am the darkness.
I am also the light.
I am the nothingness.
I am also everything.
When we embrace all of who we are, we will find peace within and compassion and gratitude towards others. We gain access to forgiveness of ourselves, others, and the world. We gain access to Agape - universal love. We enter heaven on earth - finally. Our final destination. We return home.
Only the now exists. Everything else is either memory or imagination. The only true Reality is Now.

When you witness someone who cannot be kind, who is ignorant, who is ridden with negativity and cynicism, know that they are in suffering - that there is much pain within them from past traumas, that has blocked the innate state of peace and kindness that would otherwise manifest from their depth of being. The only natural response is compassion towards them and their pain and suffering. Wish them freedom from the hell that they may be stuck in. Wish them healing and the return to the Divine Love that lies at the depth of their being.

When you are in uncertainty and anxiously waiting for something. Be it a response from a boss regarding a job application, a message from a partner, the result about your health check for an illness, all is that you have lost presence in God, and in Life. You are not in surrender and thus there is suffering. How easy it is to remember and return to God, return to trust in Life and surrender, to return to peace. Anxiety is a sign of forgetfulness to trust in God's Will.

When I recognise my nothingness
I enter heaven
When I let go of my judgements
I enter heaven
When I’m present with God

How do you know when you have become One with God?
When you look at every stranger with a sense of love. When you witness and appreciate the love in a parent's eyes looking at their child, when you have no child of your own. When you enjoy two couples holding hands while you're still single. For you have become to recognise the other as an extension of you - and you are witnessing yourself in the other - and the myriad of other lifeforms. You have become the container of all creation. You have become One with God. This may be a fleeting experience, but nevertheless a taste of Divine Union.

The mind is pre-occupied with optimising experience, maximising pleasure and minimising pain, or else the mind attaches itself to a set of rules or ideals that it will attempt to defend or attach to. It can also gain its sense of identity from these ideals and attachments. The former leads to hedonism, the later, leads to fundamentalism. It doesn't matter where or who - this is common to all humanity across the entire world.

Every day we are reminded of the human condition. The imperfection intertwined in perfection. The imperfection is the personality, the mind, the body, the ephemeral aspect of being human. The perfection is the essence, the soul - that we all have in common - the eternal into the Eternal. There rests perfection. Let's remember Essence in each moment - specially when we fall short of being perfect.

At the beginning of Existence, completeness in Essence (Wholeness), became incompleteness in form and completeness in essence. The form then attempted to return itself to completeness. In form one will always be incomplete, imperfect, in essence - one will always be complete and perfect. We have focused too much on our incompleteness and the incompleteness’ attempt to return to Wholeness. This is the natural drive of the incompleteness. A part of the incompleteness is able to recognise the completeness within itself - the hidden treasure within. This is the stillness presence, or becoming present to stillness, the gateway into the Infinite, the Source of all of life.

Labels: Ego
Our desire to be liked by our own and other people's minds and egos is one of the major dysfunctions of our world and a great source of suffering. The mind and ego are designed for judgement, not for acceptance, not for compassion. That is the job of the heart. The moment you relinquish the need to be accepted by the human mind (yours and others'), you gain access to freedom. You also get direct access to the heart.

Much of the suffering that arises from our negative emotions such as anger, is not as much from having these emotions arise, but from reacting to these emotions - trying to resist them by suppressing or changing them or simply not giving them space.

Notice the drive behind an act before you take action - is the action out of fear, or out of love? Is ego behind it, or the soul? Is it aligned with the wellbeing for all, or is it a selfish act. Just note down your intention and drive and spend a few seconds observing it. Tune into your mind, heart and body and ask yourself, “is this what I really want?” (for myself, for others, and the world?).
Become the holding space for the ego, the thoughts, the emotions, the arising and passing of phenomenon, within self as well as outside of self. If you are impatient, instead of trying to be patient, become a holding space for impatience, and consequently patience arises naturally. If you are angry, instead of trying to become calm, become the holding space for your anger, and consequently calmness arises naturally.

The Great holds space for what arises and passes to arise and pass. From joy, to shame and anger. Whether in self or others, the Great holds space in stillness.

Ego entanglement is when your own ego gets entangled with the ego of others. It is the ego's position that conflicts with the ego position of others and the ego is interested in proving its own perspective as true. How do we spot the ego? By looking at the voice in your head, telling others how things should be, how they should be, and what is right and what is wrong. That is the voice of the ego. Observe it so that you first entangle yourself from it and thus entangle the ego from the ego of others.

Selfless service emanates from serving and expecting nothing in return as the service itself is sacred and satisfying in itself. To give and express delight in the opportunity of giving is to allow the spirit rise above the ego. It is to recognise all giving and service comes from Beyond - from the Infinite and each and every one of us can act as a vessel for that service to be expressed in this world. There is a humility and delight in being the servant of the Infinite.

When we try to replace Infinite Love of Divine Presence with finite love of people presence we then become needy of attention and love from others.

The difference between the voice of judgement and voice of discernment is that the voice of judgement is far louder than the voice of discernment.

Even a mild thought can deprive one of presence, leading to unconscious behaviours. Total alertness is required at all times specially in situations when some form of clinging or aversion may arise (seeking or escaping). Both forms create mild instability leading to unconscious behaviours that lead to ineffective outcomes. The only remedy is constant vigilant awareness to the breath and body. This could be when one is by onself or when with others, high presence is required in higher stake situations.

Real freedom arises when you create no more enemies in your life.
