Our Inner Spark
IN OUR SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE we may have been told that we will know that we have found it because we will always be happy. While joy or supreme happiness would be a wonderful experience, like all experiences it will come and go. In other words, we will not have it all the time.
Death Defining
WHAT WE UNDERSTAND AS DEATH is just one expression of a process which is happening to us all the time. Instead of focusing on death as going from one state (alive) to another (dead), it is much more helpful to see it like this: ‘Dying is the breaking down of one reality in order to make way for another.’
The Choices We Make
STANDING ASIDE and impartially observing ourselves plays an important part in our learning process. Being fully aware of what we are doing and thinking as we go through our day gives us the opportunity to make better choices about how we handle the problems that crop up in our daily life.
Chasing After Dreams
WHEN WE ARE UPSET OR HURT or feeling like the world is against us, we tend to blame some other person or some outside event. We may be confronted by an angry person, or have an accident of some sort, or there’s a family squabble, or we’re just having a bad day.
Transcending Our Beliefs
WE TEND TO IGNORE OR DISBELIEVE any new ideas, especially about spirituality that clashes with our own ingrained beliefs and yet, there is a way to get past those self opinionated beliefs that make us think that we are right about everything and that is to transcend those beliefs.
