My Inner Voice


My inner voice
At this moment, I am spiritually awakened, my feelings are calm and my mind is empowered with a divine system. I feel to undertake correct decisions for myself, my family and my associates. I  seem to receiving a divine guidance to handle all situations which earlier were stressful to me. The situations do not overwhelm me now.
Now, my earlier tendency to  whim, jealous and fears seem dissolving- I  recognize  them to be my old unconcious mental habits. I recognize them to be unneccessary now.
I am becoming now consciously peaceful and tranquil. My mind now becoming mindful and its temptation  to get triggered: to get upset, anger and fear are getting expelled out. Watching those stressful habits leaving me out, I feel good. Surrounding around me has not changed but I am able to watch the surroundings now more actively and withy much less reaction. Divinely powered, I am enjoying the situations –spiritually.
I  am realizing the warmth of tranquility around me and my folks. I am tempyed to interact with them now with this warmth.The past jerks and jerks while interacting with my partners and friends are dissolving .
To feel stay calm is now sustaining. In past my ego almost stumbled me towards my urges, reactions and anger. It is just amazing to be free of these traits now.
While enjoying this newly found spiritual happiness and comfort zone , I pray God my loved ones, associates and friends could get attracted and drawn to the divine power and transform to their life calm, peaceful and mindful orderly.

The Positive Ego


The Positive Ego:
If ego makes you suffer so much from its misperceptions and reactions-anger, sadness, showoff, provocations, then why ego is there in the first place...What should be the true purpose of ego? What is the advantage of ego toward achieving the peace? Why ego mostly is on false pride and show off side. Is it ego true function?
How we can prevent ego to act misperceived and thus press hard on us-to suffer? How can we instruct our ego to behave such a way that we do not suffer and could keep intact our sanity?
To me, it seems ego is to let us take the optimum stand on a situation of the moment when we sense we should not take an extreme –or so called perfect stand. Of course, ego motivates us to have courage to say “no” when it is utmost needed so as to save us from moral degradation.
May be we can define purpose of ego like this: Ego is not for taking advantage of others but also not allowing others to take any advantage of us. Mindful guided ego.
Another way, ego purpose may be to keep a balance of our response to be enough assertive-on our fair stand- so other do not take advantage of our fairness – as being assumed to be our weakness.
To show ego under a situation require courage and emotional maturity...Ego thus is strength which needs to be used to protect ourselves from other blackmails rather to blackmail them. Ego is rather protective tool but occasionally may be used as counter threat. To use it this way we are to be careful and never apply it in haste.
This is about the positive ego. It is about facing negative ego of others? Is not necessary? How to be assertive when other ego becomes aggressive?
Your ego is advisor to you on occasions; ego is good assistant and encourages you, not to surrender to other ego negative intentions. Your ego saves you from their bad intentions toward you. It help you keep on to the maturity of emotions and do not give up to the thoughts of unsafe obstacles into your purposes and movements.
Mind it! Ego is in you but you are not ego. Let us not use ego as a pride. Shifted to positive ego, you feel now more calm, cool and comfortable in all aspects of your life.

Observe on feelings of Bitterness


We feel bad as we do not agree or we have different point of view. We feel we should feel bad as long as we persist on disagreements. We consider the experience of disagreements or opposing each other should be bitter experience for each other.  We are held in bad feelings as long this opposition turned bitterness continue.
Once we realize that we hold different point of view, not necessarily hold the points of bitterness toward each other, we begin dissolving the bitterness together and each other.
Disagreements are normal, like or not. My question is what happens on, what is being said on either side, that it turns to feel bad. That mean, we have more in habit of feel bad than in a hobby of feel good.
Sometimes, the spouses feel their husband trigger them to feel bad –lest they become themselves trigger to the husband to feel bad.  Feel bad is like playing football. You play it back to the opponent when it is send to you. You do your best to return the football to opposing goal.
Observe on the experience of this bitterness. Soon you may realize the futility of bitterness and you will intend to cleanse the bitterness from you. What you experience may be good or bad but what you realize or visualize is always good.
Why should I compel the other to listen me, experience me?  I feel you may feel burden to listen me; so it is my duty to release you of the burden to know me. Released from this compulsion, you may feel better be happy or, at least, you can’t feel upset.
I should try   my loved ones to be happy. But I cannot assure them any happiness. They should take trials on happiness themselves. This is possible if they take the issue, in between, as easy as possible. Easier the issue, trimmer is the issue.
It is not what is wrong or right, there should be a need to know, what the mutual purpose is. If our purpose is to live with love together, why not we, then, choose love rather then the war - even when we are to resolve any dispute, in between, of any proportion.

Patience


“Patience is not my ability to wait, but my ability to keep cool while I wait.”
We should learn to be patient even it seems it is taking roundabout way to get to our destination. Once we have chosen other choice, do we have any other choice except to be patient?
Impatience is a sign of pride, and the patience is the sign of wisdom. Practice of patience is important as we realize we can not solve every problem in haste and restless manner.
Waiting is a part of life. So let us wait well with patience and let us turn the waiting time to be an enjoying time.
Patience is not a substitute of lazy attitude and thus to delay the important meeting or discussion. It is just to cool the matter and giving the people concerned to come up with a more sensible answer to seek without being offended. Patience takes the pride out of the person.
The people, who are induced to impatient over what may happen next, succumb to helpless thoughts. If they adopt patience on results, they can plan   and act on plan using -their wisdom at the best.
We are to make allowances for patience, meekness, humility while listening to each other. When we are patient, we bear each other peacefully. How we interact each other is more important than what we interact about.
When you feel like most impatient, holding patience is most difficult, that is the best time to maintain patience. You may realize it later.
Buddha teaches us patience-attend to things detached way.

Kindness to self and Universe


Being kind to self does not mean we are selfish. Self is the part of universe and so we can not be truly kind to ourselves without being kind to the universe. As we consider our duty of kindness toward universe, our duty toward ourselves is already being taken care. If your kindness is true to humanity, the whole universe will come forward to support your duty to your-Self.
The patience is part of our kindness to us and to the universe. The patience gives enough time to our mind to settle into peace to the truth of the kindness. You achieve your vision of kindness with what you always want to be-calm, cool and cozy-easily in your thoughts and feelings. After all, your kindness is related to your happiness which does not depend just upon what you feel but how you feel.
Patience adds on kindness. Show kindness to impatience as it arises occasionally-it will begin unwinding to patience.
Kindness is so natural, so easy and so soft. Becoming too good may not be kindness as kindness at a cost may be worthless and unnecessary. Kindness, by its nature is not compulsive; you should not feel like doing under some compulsion.
 Through kindness we become part of solutions rather remaining being part of problems. We are all born unique in kindness and we should practice our kindness- uniquely and kindly.

Mind flows and Divine Bliss

 Divine bliss wants the stream of divine wisdom flow through us in our feelings. But divine streams become a trickle and maybe even just a ‘waste seepage’ until we are prepared to take the lid off and allow divine bliss to reveal the true source of the problem.
As with invasive possessive thoughts, the illusions can get through the smallest crack or opportunity and then grows there to block the Spirit’s flow. The only answer is to remove the blockage and repair the damage. That can be a bit painful and time consuming, not least during the process of cutting stubborn roots of illusions, to ensure a complete clearance.

My mind will need more attention before the wisdom flows freely and flexibly in my life, in my togetherness with friends and in my family. Maybe there will be a continual need for our lives to be observed  and inspected  but without any judgments’ from time to time, just to check that no more roots of illusion have got into our life system. I would rather be a flowing a wisdom stream from   divine bliss than a stagnant stream full of ungodliness!

Our Own Observor

“I realize that I am always free to let go my obsessions when I observe them playing their game on me.”
I perceive a new kind of freedom when I   observe my life and no longer feel being a dancer, choreographed and directed by obsessions and depression.
We, within ourselves, are in fact two persons instead of one. One person is who is in cycle obsessing and depression. The other person is who is observing this cycle. When we are able to cultivate ourselves into   this observation –we shift  our self from the  position of  sufferer to an observer of suffering.
The observer is detached from our emotions, feelings and behaviors. Here the observer lovingly watch our life   and let us feel easy on its happenings.
The suffering aspect is the part of us which was noticing our feelings seriously –our helplessness   on inability to shake away our obsession and our disappointing awe over the trauma to stay with us.
But observer in us has been observing the obsession and its trauma without itself being caught up into it. This compassionate   entity is our own higher self for our own conscious care.
Our wisdom has no anxiety but our mind is full of emotions of anxiety. Our wisdom is on side of observer. The mind is full of anxiety as mind is not empowered enough to witness the observer in us.
There are strategic times in life (we usually call it timely) when we feel changed or transformed-and feel free of obsessions, depressions, even in the presence of obstacles. Perhaps we are able to call for divine wisdom those moments and attuned with our higher awareness-our own observer.
