It's YOUR life

Personal and spiritual development is a personal matter.

Don't let anyone dictate what or who you should believe.

A corollary is: You are the only person who is responsible for own spiritual development. Take your life by the horns, and live it. Nobody is doing to tell you what to do.

Fire

The fire within is what makes us productive. Sitting on our asses, relaxing, feeds the cosmic illusion, and extinguishes the fire.

Greed is the process by which we reap rewards using someone else's internal fire. It's black magic; and as such, you'll have to pay in the end.

Attaching ourselves to the divine, to the eternal flame, unifies our fire with the cosmic fire, and allows us to give tirelessly and with no attachment. This is what produces real results.

Thoughts

Every thought is an illusion.

Try to look behind the thought, to the universal truth.

Presents, giving and love

It's difficult to make present to a greedy person. Not only because you know they won't enjoy it, but also because instinctively you feed bad about; you feel that your efforts are going to be wasted.

On the other hand, if the recipient is a well-mannered person, you know that your efforts are not going to waste. Even if you don't expect anything back, you'll get a response.

Such is the nature of love. Love is an amplifier; if you give 100%, you'll get more than 100% back!

Interconnections

The world is more interconnected than you think.

If you do something bad, then the world suffers.

If you do something good, then the world is happy.

Wouldn't you rather live in a happy world?

Non-violence

Give a vow of non-violence.

Once violence is not an option, the world suddenly appears different.

The Present

We are living in a point in history where divine energy has accumulated from all the self-sacrifices that previous generations have made, to a point where it will soon be time that we won't need to try hard to attain God.

Their self-sacrifices have made an imprint in the fabric of this world, and we are just reaping the results. Our being present, here, at this point in time is not random either. We are here because we have the power to do this. It is both our right and our obligation.

We should all be thankful to be living here, now, for we are given the power to affect other people's lives to an extent that, logically, we could never think possible.

And the cycle goes on.

Live honoring the present. It is your only chance.

Happiness

If the purpose of life is to be happy, how do we know when this happiness is of the ego or of the soul? It's quite easy to confuse the temporary feeling with the transcendental.

How do we know? Are you the one experiencing the happiness, or are you a mere observer? What if you take a moment and realize that you are happy? That realization moves you to the observer realm. This it is easier to say: "Yes, God, thank you for allowing me to be happy!".

Ask, and you shall receive

Ask, and you shall receive.

When you ask, you let God lay the path for you.
When you do without asking, you're doing the job instead.
