Contemplation: Determination
Determination
It is because you are
determined, not flawless, that you attain perfection.
Honour the small achievements of those around
you.
Usually the big achievements are given all the attention and it's the small achievements which often go unnoticed.
Today, credit or
praise someone in private,
acknowledge them in a meeting or
put a congratulations note on the fridge door.

The Supreme Source(Supreme Soul)
has the power to remind us of what
we were because His original state of being is permanent; He never
forgets Himself, is never polluted and remains forever true to Himself
in the state of spiritual or soul consciousness. As a result, He is
the copy of what we were, of what we are to become. Very simply, the
qualities of peace, love, purity, happiness and truth
are there in Him, visible and available to those who wish to tune in
and receive.
What we remember, we become, and so it is important to remember the
right things. Number one on the list is thoughts of the original self
and the Supreme Source.
Imagine two points of energy (light): one here on the earth, in time
and matter, and the other beyond the earth, in another world of
silence and peace. When these two points connect through the power of
thought and feeling there is a union, which allows for a flow of
energy and the experience of our true being. 'I, the soul, the
point, am here and the Supreme Soul, also a point of energy (light),
is up there'. However, love and remembrance bring such closeness that
there is no feeling of distance or separation.
To achieve remembrance that empowers (strengthens), we need to plug in
every day to the Supreme Source in silence, in a way that is beyond
ritual or sound. It is a personal connection, which requires no
audience and no rules, only an honest heart. When a person has a
positive intention (purpose), the plug of love fits into the socket
and the self receives whatever it needs, whatever is useful for it to
create and sustain a life of quality.

Practical Positive Response Training To The Mind (Part 2)
If I believe that I am just the physical body and that my thoughts are simply results of chemical and electrical processes in the brain, and not something I can consciously control, I let go of the key of taking charge of what is going on inside my mind. In meditation, my intellect recognizes and realizes that my thoughts are my own creation, of me the soul and not the body and that I, the soul, using the intellect, which is also a part of the soul, can make choices about them.
When I realize that my natural state is to be the master of my mind and not to be dictated by it or dictated by the brain, I start taking charge of what is going on inside. When I practice being a master of my mind repeatedly by practicing meditation regularly, the new habit of creating only positive thoughts settles inside me and my habit of responding negatively with a negative state of mind to negative situations, begins to change over a period of time. I start responding positively even to negative situations. So, meditation is a major transformation process of the habit of thinking negatively, which then has positive results on my personality and behavior.
Tomorrow we shall further clarify the process which has been explained in today’s and yesterday’s message, with an example.
Message for the day
When we change our world changes.
Projection: We usually wait for the world to change, sometimes the world at large and sometimes our own little world. Since it is not in our hands we don't find it changing according to what we want and we give up trying. We rarely think of changing ourselves which is possible.
Solution: When we change, our thoughts and attitude change too. We are then able to look at the people and our world around us with a different vision. Thus we find that our world changes, not so much in the situation as much as in our own perception.
