Joy and Harmony

The Longest Journey is the journey inward~
For he who has chosen his destiny
Has started upon his quest for the source
Of his being

It has been a wonderful day today.... the sun was shining and my heart warm...
Being with good friends, a laugh, wine, music,
I feel the weekend will be full of fun too
Friends coming over from Ireland,
so I will pop by when I can!!
Have a super weekend

Freedom is independence from externals
One who is in need of help of another person, thing, or condition
is a salve thereof
Perfect freedom is not given to any man on earth
because the very meaning of mortal life is relationship with another
The Lesser number of wants, the greater is the freedom
Hence perfect freedom is absolute desirelessness
(Saythya Sai Baba)

He is the voice of your deepest self
The magic of your hopes and fears
and the life that happens between them
The hero you are is in your actions
In your beliefs.... In the choices you make
The friends you keep
and in the parts of you that you never show

We are all programmed to act and react a certain way
some of us have empowering stories that transform and guide us
Others have victim stories....
Most of us go through life completely unaware because of being created by the unconscious
story that was programmed into our brain and body at an early age.
Even though we are all well versed in certain universal laws like law of attraction,
of which, sorry to say, is the latest big boom for all life goals, it is a huge
business today....
But it does hold some good points to inspire us and motivate us.

The grasping person lives for some abstract future
The spiritually fulfilled person is aware of the treasure of the moment

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy
They are the charming gardeners who make
Our souls blossom

May the sun bring you new energy every day
May the moon softly restore you by night
May the rain wash away your worries
May the breeze blow new strength into your being
May you walk gently through the world~ and know
Its beauty all your days of your life

We can all choose to see the beauty,
know if we believe in ourself and surround ourself
with those who respect us and bring us uplifting joy,
then we are within the most beautiful energy
Positive and sincere.
So when challenges come our way we can view them with a clear mind
and leave them in the hands of God.
We are protected when love is within out heart!!
When sincere and true to yourself it shines through
Always!!

Respecting your presence through the energy of your body
Breath, Voice, Speech, Mind, and Heart
Touch and Spirit
It is common knowledge that sometimes we forget
or simply take for granted interacting with people
Who have your best interests in their body, mind, heart,
And Spirit
Feel Sincere within your True Presence

Of Course this is idealistic, as it has to work both ways!!
Gaining knowledge from life experiences good and bad
help us to stay positive and protective of others.

Re-energise and refocus your body
After an event that pushes you into
An area of "ill" from others!!

Meeting the devine in other humans with sincerety
Will Find Balance, but not all will think liKe you
There will be meetings that are frighteningly absent from
sincere motive

If and when you feel your mind, heart, and Spirit
Close down~ you can rest, ajust, and re-energise your presence

Statements, promises,
Empty words without meaning,
The Storm without gale winds,
Guns with an empty barrel
Talk with know significant action

It can't soften the blow
can't cusion the fall
help you to your feet
Guide you through the maze
Be your light through the pitch darkness
What lies behind us
And what lies before us
Are small matters
To what lies within us

Where I am God is
Where I stand God is standing
Where I breath God is, breathing life
in and out and through me

Where I sing God is
Where I dance, joy lifts my feet
Where I live beauty's flowing free
In and out and through me, as me
Oh where I doubt God is the faith in me
Where I cry God is the comfort there
Where I seek God is the answer
Here and now forever and ever

Where I speak Truth is
God is ~ life is ~ Truth is
God is

This site has some beautiful and inspirational soundtracks
the first one is .... God is

I have been contimplating whether to do this post or not as my views regarding competition
is that I find it in certain situations irritating and a form of boosting one's pride!
I know there are the pros and cons that will be the cleshay responses but I do find competitions a form of plugging within this blog~site and feel they do hinder people's enjoyment of simply showing their work ....or enjoying the simple act of interacting for pleasure.
I do not wish to offend those who feel the need for continual competitions within this blogsite.
Or joining the band~wagon of becoming one who opens a competition!!
So I will apoligise now if you are in favour of competitions
and are within my circle of friends here.
I would like to know your views!!

below is a very interesting website, which is one I feel at one with,
and does not involve the need where one must do better then the rest...
futher more the person who judges may percieve your work totally different to
another so who are they to judge!!

Pesonally I feel there is a need of shifting our focus to higher potential within
ourself without the need for others gratification.
I am fully aware of the positives and negatives of what people persieve of competitions
I feel it would be so much better to inspire and encourage hope and be in unity in growing together at different levels

Here is an encouraging website on cometition: "Shifting our focus to a higher potential"
Redefining the word~competition
www.jeannelupypciw.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/competit

And the following website is
Competition and wellbeing
After all who are you competing with .... ??
encouragement and support is wonderful!
supportive advise is a learning kerb!
but competition is world~wide and is the driving force for so much ill feeling!!
Can we change our attitude to it and find another form of improving our skills and our life without it??
Can we draw a community spirit with out enticing people with competitions!!
www.fee.uva.nl/creed/pdffiles/compwellbe.pdf

I am very strongly motiviated to write this today as it has been on my mind for some time.
Competition sadly is in all aspects of life
I wish it was at least not here in blogland....
Can we just be a friendly community and show our talents and just appreciate them
for what they are for the sheer enjoyment!!

In metaphysics the term "ego" is not referring to
"An inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others"
Instead it is typically referring to our sense of "INDIVIDUAL SELF"

The ego is a voice of those levels of consciousness that still hold
on to the illusion of separate self.

The ego is a necessary part of our existence on earth as it determines
"OUR UNIQUE PERSONALITY"

A main concern of ego is with the individual safety and survival.
Without it we would not be able to function on the physical realm.

"The soul cannot have the full human experience unless it has an aspect of self
that is ego based.
If the soul remained in CONDITIONAL LOVE it could not experience 'nothing'.

However many teachers have taught that the ego also commonly known as "lower self"
could be a stumbling block if we over-identify with it
Therefore -"Balance"
A natural state of mind - "A Healthy Ego"
It is thus about balancing the ego to be the unique and personal expression
of who we are in the devine

Ego is simply the spirits lowerself
It is important to identify a strong and healthy ego as part of the foundation
for exploring the "Higherself of soul"
A strong soul begins with a strong ego. The stronger your personality traits
of ego the easier you can trancend the unhealthy traits of your psychological
self and experience the potential of spiritual bliss of the Higherself of
Soul
I have done much research into this as oppinions are vast amongst the spiritual
realm and my gut intuition on this topic has always been to "not think"
"you the human" has to separate from your natural state but to embrase and understand
your mind,body and soul.
I will be posting more on this topic as it is a part of us that we should not
keep making out as bad.
The ego creates life that solidify a persons sense of being.
Ego speaks from a fear-based aspect of self that wants to be safe, to know that personal
needs are met, to feel in control.
These are common desires for the sentient being and they are not "bad"
To aspire to be safe and that all beings be safe is a statement of kindness
and clarity.

Be happy with your natural state
