Ponderings

*

The human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe a part limited in time and space. He/she experiences themselves, his/her thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest  a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty (unity-consciousness). And peace/harmony cannot be kept by force. They can only be achieved by understanding. Albert Einstein

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position. All evil thoughts and evil passions are but different forms of disease. The only power I accept in this world is the still voice within. Everyone should follow his/her own inner voice to experience his/her ultimate identity with the Universal Self. Mohandas Gandhi

There is no power greater than right action in the present. Hence one should take recourse to self-effort to acquire wisdom in the realization of the truth. Grinding one's teeth and tightening one's belt, one should overcome evil by good, and fate by present effort. Verily, by continuous right action alone people attain perfection. Further, one should perform work with a view to guiding people along the right path. Always remembering that God helps those who help themselves (there is no replacement for self-effort). The Supreme Yoga/Gita

The law of detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This does not mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You don't give up the intention, and you don't give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the result. Dr. Deepak Chopra

Dear Love Radiance Intention Member,

Our Collaborative Group Intention Monthly Theme for June is:

Unification-Harmony Threshold

Introduction

The trinity of Unity-Harmony-Order constitutes the foundation of all Humanitarian Universal Laws. In looking around, one cannot help but notice so much division and unrest across the world. This is not the natural intrinsic balanced state of the universe. Hence to revert back to this natural state (peace, love, freedom, joy, mutual respect and right to peaceful co-existence) from the current chaos, disunity and disorder, is the most appropriate challenge and call of our current times. As represented in President Obamas recent speech and appeal in Cairo. Some people call this a much-cherished shift as the threshold of the Golden Age. Which simply means making self-efforts at all levels, individually and collectively, to shift to a period of greater happiness, prosperity and achievement. A threshold is a point of entering or beginning at which physiological or psychological effects begin to be produced.

As a witnessing consciousness, we can see the profundity of this statement and flow with it. It looks like the divine mechanism is reading the thoughts of all the beings from an unseen divine tape, and orchestrating the dance of all the happenings in the field of pure potentiality, as it deems appropriate.

Steps leading to Unity and Harmony:

1. Worldly Fulfillment: Relating to material prosperity, health and other comforts of life. Including emotional fulfillment (i.e., fulfilling relationships, emotional stability and security, also intellectual fulfillment (i.e. creativity, rationality, analysis and freedom of choices).

2. Religious fulfillment: Its essence and preparation for the next fulfillments; however, not locked in rituals and dogmatic stuff.

3. Knowledge Fulfillment: Intrinsic Awareness and Inner Knowing.

4. Spiritual Fulfillment: Concerning the utilization of the inner power of spirit energy in you. This is what sustains us, observes us, directs us and makes us enjoy our experiences of life. This is beyond the physical, emotional and intellectual faculties.

5. Universal Fulfillment: concerning the utilization of the universal power that sustains the whole universe. It is present at all times to everyone. It is all pervading. The spiritual energy in us is the connection to the universal energy. This ongoing utilization makes us do things in alignment with the universal scheme of life.

6. Unity Fulfillment: Returning home from where we all came.

Walk into these steps one-by-one and let their essences become your own Essence. In this regard, remember the trinity of unity-consciousness as follows:

Consciousness-Essence-Effort

(Without self-effort consistent with one's inner guide, there is virtually no movement in Consciousness.)

Practice Points

Unification with Self (i.e. the whole ballgame starts with you!) Followed by unification with the group, society, universe and the Source.

In your day-to-day affairs, be at one with your Self (i.e. your own essence). Carry the harmony from this Self-Unity and apply it to all situations presented. Accept and embrace these situations as presented (i.e. don't fight with them or resist them). For instance, say, This is it, now what?

Check out what is within your control and what is not. Concentrate on what is within your control (i.e. your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own attitude and your own actions). The game starts with your own game. I am the creator of my own thoughts, feelings, attitude and actions. I am creating my own destiny, such as, I sow, and so shall I reap. Hence positive thinking, Let's do that! The rest will follow.

Meditation and Prayer: When a person consistently meditates on the Self, all the knowledge of an enlightened awareness automatically dawns in the course of time and the person becomes what he/she truly is (i.e. intrinsically divine nature). Prayer from heart and soul for divinely help and guidance to induce positivism and light in every situation and with all those connected with the situation has a very softening/cooling effect in paving the way to ease the tense/rough environment; both within and without. By so doing, there is synchronization in the inherent awareness and the subsequent actions for things to happen in the divine order of unity and harmony...the foundation of all universal laws.

Detached Involvement: It is only when attachment to certain outcomes (i.e. self-recovery of health and/or for our dear ones) is released and total surrender to the Universal Orchestration is done, is there an essence of a beginning for the unification and alignment process. Having done the very best in every situation and surrendering to the universe for whatever outcome, is Key to the whole of knowing and experiencing the Universal Reality as it is.

The above practice points can help us put ourselves onto the pathway of effectively utilizing what is presented to us (i.e. situations), and further enabling us to share this practice with the rest of our fellow beings on earth.

Meditation (Meditation  Connecting With The Supreme Being, by Brahma Kumaris Om Shanti Studio)

Think slowly and visualize side by side each thought given below before moving on:

I visualize my true self, a pinpoint of light, a sparkling star in the centre of the forehead.

I radiate golden rays of peace in all directions.

Like a free bird, I, a being of light, gradually leave my physical body and fly into space.

I am surrounded by thousands of stars.

Slowly I fly upwards.

I enter a region of immense golden-red light.

I see myself, a golden star full of peace, floating freely in my sweet home.

I experience total silence; there is complete stillness here.

In front of me there is a brilliant point of light just like myself.

I come closer and closer to this Supreme Being of Light.

This Supreme Energy radiates golden rays of the light of unlimited peace in all directions.

An ocean of peace.

I feel the waves of peace passing over me; I absorb the light of sweet peace.

I bathe under the shower of golden peaceful light.

All burdens are being washed away.

It is so soothing, calming and relaxing.

Remain in this experience for a few minutes. Gradually fly back to take your seat in the physical body. Use the rays of golden peaceful light into your thoughts, washing every negative thought with the light of love and peace. Be compassionate and loving in your behavior while interacting with other people and dealing with daily challenging situations. Gradually your fears, attachments and control will loose its affect, and acceptance will flow in you as you start to live a struggle free life. The above meditation can be modified to fill the Self with joy, love, bliss, purity or power.

Self-Observation

Hopes and prayers go out to our Groups self-effort and ever-flowing struggle free manner with the Unity-Harmony Threshold, as we realize its essence in our own unique ways. We all see the sparks and feel the experience of wisdom with such a profound reality.

In your own silence, see how you are doing in the above-mentioned theme and/or similar aspects of living your lives. If you feel like sharing with us your experiences at Lightpages, we simply welcome and look forward to it.

With Best wishes and Love abundance,
