Daily Positive Thoughts: June 03, 2013 : First Thought

Good Morning, Mykonos, Greece
First Thought

Each morning before I begin the journey of my day let me sit still, in silence, and sow the seed of peace. Peace is harmony and balance. Peace is freedom - freedom from the burden of negativity and wastefulness. Let peace find its home within me. Peace is my original strength, my eternal tranquility of being. Let my first thought of the day simply be peaceful.
Like a feather, we float blissfully along on the winds of destiny.
When we simply remain light, our landing will be painless.
The lightness of our being allows us to catch hold of even a slight puff of wind to propel us upward on currents of warm air; so that we can follow our destiny.
Simple Exercise For Experiencing Inner Peace And Compassion

Sit comfortably and relax. Now focus your attention on your breathing... let it find its own calm rhythm... gently breathe in peacefulness and breathe out any negative feelings.

Allow your mind to slow down... do not judge your thoughts as good or bad, accept them and let them go.

Now focus on your inner peace...that place that is deep within yourself... that is peaceful... where your inner compassion (kindness) and forgiveness lies... here you are patient, tolerant, generous, understanding... all these qualities are here which make up your inner compassion. Experience the feeling of compassion... and see it focused as a point... a point of light...situated at the center of your forehead.

Now raise your awareness beyond yourself... to a place of unlimited peace... see it first as a small point of light. As you move towards it, it becomes brighter... it is like an ocean of peace... a space of calm, of love, of compassion... you feel connected to that ocean of deep peace and love... it surrounds you like a shawl, it fills you up, absorbing every part of you with a comfortable warmth.

Rest in that feeling of being loved... it is like energy... a vibration... a light filling you... until you overflow...

Now, slowly you move away from the ocean - as a point of light. You still have the memory of being loved... and can reconnect at any time you want.
Gradually become aware of your body.

The Journey Of Time (cont.)

In yesterday’s message, we had explained how the Law of Entropy works on a physical level. When the Law of Entropy is applied to spiritual energy, our virtues, to the quality our thoughts, words and actions, we can perhaps begin to see why, as individuals, we feel tired and old in virtues, irrespective of whether we are young or old physically. We can also understand why we succumb to negative thoughts, words and actions more easily than being influenced by the positive. In fact, the entropy of our virtues i.e. the spiritual entropy has followed the same pattern as the entropy of the physical world or the physical entropy (explained yesterday) i.e. the spiritual energy or the energy of the virtues of the world has been reducing (as the world has become older and older) because it has not been renewed or re-energized from a source outside the system. When we accept this movement from new to old, we understand the journey of time in a completely different way. As we look backwards into the journey of time, we find that although there have been very important scientific discoveries and global communication has improved immensely, which have all contributed to the give everyone an illusion of progress, everyone accepts that we are not enjoying healthier, more loving and peaceful relationships with ourselves, each other or the planet Earth. The reason for this is understood easily by applying the second law of time i.e. everything new becomes old. At the present moment, the source from outside the world system (on a spiritual level) which is required to re-energize it and restore it to its original new stage is the Supreme Soul or God or the Spiritual Sun, who is an ocean of spiritual energy and divine values or virtues. In meditation we, as living beings, who are part of the world system, can absorb this energy or divinity from him and contribute to this process.

Message for the day
To recognise one's own uniqueness is to respect oneself.

Expression: To have respect for oneself based on other people's opinion or situational achievements is to have respect temporarily. True respect for the self is based on the recognition of the fact that every individual is unique with its own set of unique capabilities. This understanding enables one to see one's own uniqueness without being influenced or without comparing with others.

Experience: When I know to recognise and appreciate my own uniqueness and respect myself on this basis, I am able to be free from ego or a feeling of inferiority. I am also able to recognise naturally the uniqueness of the other person and respect him for it. Thus I am able to win the love and respect of others too.
