THE UNIVERSAL LOVE

 

                                                      ASK FOR GUIDANCE

                 THE MOMENT YOU PRAY FOR GUIDANCE, YOU RECONNECT WITH YOUR INNER WISDOM, THE VOICE OF LOVE. IN AN INSTANT YOU CAN RELEASE THE TEACHER OF FEAR AND CHOOSE THE TEACHER OF LOVE BY WELCOMING SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE. THINK OF THIS SPIRITUAL CONNECTION AS A LOVING FRIEND, AN INTERMEDIARY, GUIDING YOUR THOUGHTS FROM FEAR OF LOVE.

                 THAT'S HOW SIMPLE THIS IS. JUSK ASK FOR HELP.

                 TRY IT NOW.

                  PICK ANY AREA OF YOUR LIFE THAT FEELS BLOCKED.

               NOW ASK FOR GUIDANCE. "THANK YOU, UNIVERSE, FOR GUIDING ME TO PERCEIVE THIS FEAR THROUGH THE TEACHER OF LOVE". 

              NOTICE HOW YOU FEEL AFTER SAYING THIS PRAYER. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOU MAY HAVE FELT IMMEDIATE RELIEF. CONTINUE TO USE THIS PRAYER THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY AND PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY MOMENT OF RELIEF AND THE GUIDANCE THAT YOU RECEIVE. MY HOPE IS THAT THIS PRAYER PROCESS WILL HELP YOU SEE HOW EASY IT TO REALIGN WITH THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE AND CHOOSE THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE.  IN ANY MOMENT,  NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN THE NEGATIVE PATH OF LOVE YOU'VE GONE, YOU CAN CHOOSE AGAIN. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE AGAIN.

                                          PRACTICE THE HOLY INSTANT

                  WHEN YOU PRAY TO LEARN THROUGH THE TEACHER OF LOVE EVER THE TEACHER OF FEAR, YOU EXPERIENCE WHAT A COURSEIN MIRACLES CALLS THE "HOLY INSTANT". THE HOLY INSTANT IS THE MOMENT THAT YOU SURRENDER YOUR FEAR TO THE CARE OF THE UNIVERSE AND ACCEPT THE PERSPECTIVE OF LOVE. IT'S NOT TEMPORAL, OR BASED IN TIME. RATHER, IT'S INSTANT OUT OF TIME AND SPACE IN WHICH OUR DECISION-MAKING MIND REALIZES IT MADE A MISTAKE (THE UNHOLY INSTANT) AND INVITES THE LOVING PERCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSE TO REINTERPRET THE SITUATION. THE SHIFT IN PERCEPTION ENABLES US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD SHIFT IN PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD WE CREATED IN OUR MIND.THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT OUTSIDE, BUT WITHIN, WE'RE REMINDED THAT THERE'S A LOVING SPIRITUAL PRESENCE THAT CAN RESTORE US TO SANITY. THA'S THE HOLY INSTANT. AND WHEN WE WITNESS THE HOLY INSTANCE, WE EXPERIENCE A MIRACLE.

                THROUGH YOU NEW PRAYER, YOU CAN PRACTICE THE HOLY INSTANT ALL THE TIME. THE MORE PERCEPTUAL SHIFTS YOU CREATE, THE MORE YOU WILL FEEL CONNECTED TO THE FLOW OF THE UNIVERSE. THIS PRACTICE IS CRUCIAL AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE WORK IN THIS CHAPTER.

                I RECENTLY WITNESSED A BEATIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE HOLY INSTANT IN ACTION. MY FRIEND WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE DESPISED HIS BOSS. HE WENT ON AND ON ABOUT HOW HIS BOSS LED WITH AN IRON FIST, CONSTANTLY PUT EVERY ONE DAY, AND CREATED A NEGATIVE WORK ENVIROMENT. MY FRIEND WAS ANGRY AND DISTRAUGHT ABOUT HE SITUATION, BUT (AND THIS IS CRUCIAL) HE WAS WILLING TO SEE  IT DIFFERENTLY. HIS WILLINGNESS LED HIM TO SAY THE MAGIC WORDS TO ME. I NEED HELP. I WANT TO SEE THIS DIFFERENTLY. THIS REQUEST FOR HELP OPENED THE INVISIBLE DOOR TO THE UNIVERSAL REALM OF SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE. 

                SPIRIT WORKS THROUGH PEOPLE, AND ON THIS DAY SPIRIT WORKED THROUGH ME. I RESPONDED TO HIM BY TEACHING HIM THE HOLY INSTANT. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THROUGH THE PRACTICEOF TURNING YOUR FEAR OVER TO LOVE, YOU COULD SHIFT YOUR PERCEPTION OF YOUR ENEMY INTO THE PERCEPTION OF A BROTHER. TOGETHER WE SAID A PRAYER. WE SAID, "THANK YOU, SPIRIT FOR YOUR GUIDANCE. WE SURRENDER THIS GRIEVANCE TO YOU, AND WE WELCOME YOU IN TO REORGANIZE ALL LIMITING BELIEFS BACK TO LOVE'.

                  INSTANTLY MY FRIEND FELT BETTER. I COULD SEE THE RELIEF COME OVER HIS FACE. WE SAID OUR GOOD-BYES AND ACCEPTED THE MIRACLES OF THE HOLY INSTANT. THEN AN HOUR LATER I GOT A CALL FROM HIM. HE SAID, THE COOLEST THING HAPPENED WHEN I GOT HOME, I STOOD INMY HALLWAY REMEMBERING WHAT YOU SAID. I HEARD YOUR VOICE SAY, CHOOSE TO SEE HIM AS A BROTHER, THEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE MAIL IN MY  HAND, AND AT THE TOP OF THE PILE WAS A CHRISTMAS CARD FROM BY BOSS. IN THAT INSTANT I FELT A RUSH OF LOVE COME OVER ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE HIM AS MY BROTHER. I FELT CONNECTED TO HIM IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I FORGAVE HIM AND PRAYED HIM TO BE HAPPY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. WOW! I RESPONDED THIS IS THE HOLY INSTANT, MY FRIEND, IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL THE TIME".

                                                     FAST COMBACK

                  THE HOLY INSTANT IS AVAILABLE TO US ALL. WE JUST HAVE TO CHOOSE IT. THE MORE WE PRACTICE THE HOLY INSTANT, THE FASTER WE RETURN TO LOVE.

  

                                     RESTORE OUR FEAR BACK TO LOVE

                    THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE COMEBACK RATE. HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU COME BACK TO LOVE? THE WORLD WE PERCEIVE WILL GIVE US COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCONNECT FROM LOVE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN ON THE NEWS, STEP INTO A PACKED SUBWAY, OR GET STUCK DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO FEEL HOOKED INTO NEGATIVITY AND FEAR. THE MIRACLE ISN'T HOW WELL WE AVOID FEAR, THE MIRACLE IS HOW QUICKLY WE RETURN TO LOVE.

   

                 REMEMBER, THE GOAL ISN'T TO AVOID FEAR. FEAR WILL NEVER GO AWAY ALTOGETHER, AND IF YOU POUR YOUR ENERGY INTO TRYING TO AVOID IT, YOU MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE HOLY INSTANT. INSTEAD THE GOAL IS TO NOT BELIEVE IN FEAR.

                 COMMIT TO PRACTICING THE HOLY INSTANT. WHENEVER YOU NOTICE YOURSELF STUCK IN THE FEAR-BASED STORY, USE YOUR PRAYER. THANK YOU, UNIVERSE FOR GUIDANCE ME TO PERCEIVE THIS FEAR THROUGH THE TEACHER OF LOVE.

                 WHENEVER WE ALIGN OUR THOUGHTS WITH LOVE, WE CAN TRULY FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE UNIVERSE BEHIND US. AS YOU BEGIN TO SHIFT YOUR PERCEPTIONS OUT OF FEAR. IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET CLEAR ABOUT THE WORLD YOU WANT TO SEE. MAY FOLKS CAN GET HUNG UP ABOUT THIS CONCEPT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WILLING TO SURRENDER FEAR, A DEEP-ROOTED FEELING THEY ARE WILLING TO SURRENDER FEAR, A DEEP-ROOTED FEELING THAT THEY DON'T DESERVE LOVE REMAINS. THIS MENTALITY BLOCKS THE CAPACITY TO STEP INTO THE FLOW.

               IN EVERY SITUATION YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES, WILL YOU, LEARN THROUGH FEAR OR WILL YOU LEARN THROUGH LOVE?

                THE SIMPLEST SHIFTS CAN RECONNECT YOU IN AN INSTANT. AS YOU GET INTO THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULLY MAKING THESE SHIFTS, YOU'LL IN TURN BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE LOVE, FLOW, SYNCHRONICITY, AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GUIDANCE. TAKE THESE UNIVERSAL LESSONS SERIOUSLY, AND YOUR HIGH VIBE ENERGY WILL CLEAR THE PATH FOR A LIFE BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS.

                  * MEDITATION AND PRAYER OPEN YOU UP TO THE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE.

                  * THE PRESENCE OF FEAR SHOWS UP WHEN YOU'RE NOT RELYING ON THE                             UNIVERSE.

                 * YOUR PROJECTION IS YOUR PERCEPTION. BECOME AWARE OF THE FEAR-                            BASED STORIES YOU'VE BEEN PROJECTING ON YOUR INTERNAL MOVIE                               SCREEN.

                  * YOUR PRESENCE IS YOUR POWER. BE MINDFUL OF HOW YOU FROM THE                             UNIVERSE. AND KNOWTHE DIFFERENT BETWEEN WHAT IF FEELS LIKE TO                           BE CONNECTED BETWEEN WHAT IF FEELS LIKE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE                         PRESENCE OF YOUR POWER VERSUS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU'RE                             NOT. 

                  

                   * WHEN YOU NOTICE YOURSELF DISCONNECT FROM THE PRESENCE OF LOVE, SAY THIS PRAYER TO COME BACK TO PEACE'. I WITNESS THAT I'M OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH MY POWER. I CHOOSE TO SEE PEACE INSTEAD OF THIS.

                           I HELP YOU BECOME MORE AWARE OF HOW YOUR INTENTIONS CREATE YOUR REALITY. THIS WORK CAN FEEL A BIT OVERWHELMING AT FIRST. TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WORLD WE'VE CREATED CAN SEEM SCARY. BUT REMEMBER, YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO PERCIEVE EVERY SITUATION IN YOUR LIFE, INCLUDING YOUR HEALING PROCESS. LET'S SET THE INTENTION TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT CHAPTER WITH ENTHUSIASM FOR YOUR JOURNEY AND A DESIRE TO EXPAND YOUR INNER AWARENESS WITH SELF-FORGIVENESS AND GRACE. THIS PROCESS IS MEANT TO BE JOYFUL. LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK, AND SURRENDER TO THE GUIDANCE YOU'RE RECEIVING. HAVE FUN!

BECOME SUCCESS WITH SPIRITUAL

 

                                                        SPIRITUAL SUCCESS

          

                   * THERE ARE MANY MISCONCEPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A SPIRITUAL-MINDED PERSON AND BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THE WORLD.

                   * ONE IS THAT SPIRITUALITY KILLS OUR AMBITIONS AND ZEST TO ACHIEVE. THIS IS FALSE BECAUSE SPIRITUALLY JUST CHANGES OUR MOTIVE TO ACHIEVE. IT MAKES US WANT TO BE HUNGELY SUCCESSFUL SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HELP OTHERS. THE STORY OF KRISHNA AND ARJUNA IN THE GITA EXPLAINS MORE. FIGHT AND ACHIEVE TO HELP OTHERS, BUT BE INTERNALLY CONTENT IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

                  * ANOTHER IS THAT SPIRITUAL PEOPLE GET WALKED OVER IN BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THEIR VALUES. THE STORY OF THE SAGE AND THE SNAKE DESCRIBE HOW WE SHOULD STICK TO OUR VALUES BUT BE METICULOUS AND STRAIGHTFORWARD IN BUSINESS.

                 * THOUGH WE CAN MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS WE DESIRE,AND USE IT TO SERVE, WE SHOULD BE WARY OF ITS POTENTIAL OF DISTRACT US FROM OUR PURPOSE. 

                              AT WORK WE TEND TO COMPARE AND COMPETE WITH OTHERS,

                              INSTEAD OF COMPARING AND COMPETING WITH OURSELVES.

                    BEING THE RICHEST MAN IN THE CEMETERY DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. GOING TO BED AT NIGHT SAYING WE'VE DONE SOMETHING WONDERFUL... THAT'S WHAT MATTER TO ME.

                 SUMMARY

                       👀 THERE ARE TWO CAUSES OF UNHEALTHY COMPETITION, BEING ENVIOUS OF SOMEONE OR UNCONTROLLED AMBITION.

                        👀 WE COMPETE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME SKILLS OR OUTLOOK IN LIFE AS US. WHEN ANOTHER PERSON'S SKILLS HAVE NO BEARING ON OUR LIFE, WE RARELY FEEL THREATENED. 

                         👀 COMPETITION IS FOUND IN ALL SPHERE OF LIFE. SOME EXAMPLES INCLUDE SPORTS, BUSINESS, POLITICS AND THE WORKPLACE.

                          👀 JAYMIN'S STORY IS AN EXTEME CASE-STUDY OF UNHEALTHY COMPETITION.

                          👀 HEALTHY COMPETITION IS ABOUT COMPETING WITH OURSELVES RATHER THAN OTHERS TO BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF OURSELVES.

                          👀 THERE WILL ALWAYS BE WORKPLACE POLITICS BUT WE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO MANAGE IT IN A CLEAN WAY.

                                              ASSOCIATION MATTERS

                          OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE STRONGER WHEN THEY CONTAIN A SPIRITUAL COMPONENT. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO BECOME GOOD FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE.

                      TRUTH IS, I'LL NEVER KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU JUST AS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT ME. HUMANS ARE BY NATURE TOO COMPLICATED TO BE UNDERSTOOD FULLY. SO WE CAN CHOOSE EITHER TO APPROACH OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS WITH SUSPICION OR TO APPROACH THEM WITH A OPEN MIND, A DASH OF OPTIMISM AND A GREAT DEAL OF CANDOUR.

                                                                                                                --- TOM HANKS

                         IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT RELATIONSHIPS.THE PRINCIPLE OF RELATIONSHIPS IS AN INHERENT UNIVERSAL ONE THAT GUIDES OUR LIVES. WHAT WOULD LIFE BE IF WE DID NOT HAVE OTHERS TO SHARE IT WITH? THEREFORE, WE MUST LEARN HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY. ALTHOUGH THIS SKILL IS SELDOM TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ANCIENT SPIRITUAL TEXTS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,

                    YOUR ASSOCIATION, CALLED SANGA IN SANSKRIT, IS CRUCIALTO YOUR SUCCESS, IN THIS WORLD AND BEYOND.

                     A MAN OR A WOMAN IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY THEY KEEP, A FAMOUS ENGLISH PROVERB STATES. THERE IS A FUNNY STORY ABOUT THE EFFECT OF ASSOCIATION. BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL AGE, A MAN IN A VILLAGE WENT OUT TO PERFORM HIS MORNING ABLUTIONS BECAUSE IN INDIA, IN THOSE DAYS, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE RESTROOMS IN THE HOUSE. AFTER HE WAS DONE, HE GOT UP AND PUT ON HIS DHOTI, TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED AT THE STUFF, AND SAID, DISGUSTING!, I AM SO GOOD-LOOKING AND HANDSOME. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING SO OBNOXIOUS AND NASTY COUL COME FROM ME. TO HIS SURPRISE, THE STUFF SPOKE BACK TO HIM AND SAID, YOU'RE CALLING ME OBNOXIOUS? LAST NIGHT, I WAS  A DELICIOUS SAMOSA. LOOK WHAT A FEW HOURS OF ASSOCIATION WITH YOU HAS DONE TO ME!.

                        OUR ASSOCIATION CAN UPLIFT OR DEPRESS US TO THE LOWEST, LEVELS. WHEN  I TALK ABOUT ASSOCIATION IN THIS CONTENT, I DO NOT MEAN GENERAL INTERACTIONS. IN OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE, ALL OF US WILL HAVE TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE BEST INFLUENCE ON US. YET, WE WILL HAVE TO DO THE NEDDFUL AND SUCH INTERACTIONS ARE SIMPLY NEUTRAL DEALINGS HARDLY CAUSING US ANY HARM. ASSOCIATION IS BEYOD OUR NEUTRAL HI-HELLO DEALINGS- IT HAS TO DO WITH THE LEVEL OF INTIMACY WE SHARE WITH OTHERS.

                    ONE ANCIENT TEXT ON RELATIONSHIPS DESCRIBES SIX EXCHANGES THAT CAN CREATE INTIMACY IN PERSONAL DEALINGS:

                  OFFERINGS GIFTS AND ACCEPTING GIFTS, OPEING ONE'S MIND AND INQUIRING IN CONFIDENTS, SHARING FOOD AND RECEIVING FOOD ARE THE SIX EXCHANGES THAT DEVELOP LOVING RELATIONSHIPS.

                 SUMMARY :

                   * OUR ASSOCIATION IS POWERFUL, IT CAN UPLIFT US OR BRING US DOWN.

                  * GENERAL INTERACTIONS ARE DEALINGS MEANT TO DO THE NEEDFUL AND ARE SIMPLY NEUTRAL.

                 * INTIMATE DEALINGS ARE BUILT THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF THINGS, FOOD, THOUGHTS,  VALUES AND BELIEF SYSTEMS. OUR LIFESTYLE IS AFFECTED MORE BY ANOTHER PERSON'S VALUE SYSTEMS THAN THEIR HABITS.
