Our Radiant Energy

September 16th, 2007

In this beginning of a week, I would like to read all of us a wisdom card.

Let’s see how our inner consciousness appeals to us.

Sacred Mountain

Within a vast and ancient land filled with myths of the Dreamtime and surrounded by sandy desert exists a glowing monolith of rock known as “Uluru”.

This card relates to strength of character, which is derived from a compassionate and loving heart. In reflects the inner strength and compassion that you radiate out to all those around you.

Like Uluru, your energy is magnetic and magical. You are a mountain of strength and hope to many people. Your love and wisdom are strong, grounded and down to earth.

Because of this, you will find that many people will be drawn to you, seeking your advice.

Yet, know that the real attraction occurs on an energetic level; little needs to be said, for your energy is such that it has a calming effect on all those who are touched by it. Your honesty, courage and inner beauty is an inspiration to many people. You are indeed a sacred mountain - able to weather the changing seasons of life while always remaining true to your inner nature and wisdom.

This wisdom card appeals to us to reveal our “honesty, courage and inner beauty” within ourselves, and with these energies we are able to inspire all people around us.

Acknowledge the radiating property in ourselves and make the good use of it. Channel out our energies of love and courage, and to start a new week with blessing for ourselves and all people around us. We will be able to attract all beautiful things and people towards us.

The like attracts the like

September 9th, 2007

(”Birthday Greetings to Xonti”,herbert bayer, 1930)

Some days ago, Armand wrote about:

“… I was telling you that the whole universe is made of energy. Everything is energy in different frequencies.

Your thoughts, emotions, feelings all are energies ……

Your thoughts are energies and you are the master of your own thoughts. Some thoughts come as a result of interactions with other energy fields, but it is you who create your thoughts and it is you, who control them.

Now if we take into consideration the fact that like energy attracted like energy, the implications are enormous……”

It has taken me several days to re-think about this concept and logic.

Thanks Armand for your sharing, which helps me to review the basic concept of “new age”, i.e. we select the lessons to be learnt in “this life”, we design the energies we have or we don’t have in this life in order to learn those lessons we selected, we write our own scripts, we even choose our own parents and select our own birth days, etc.

Our lives could be prescribed as the flow of energies. ”Like energies attracks like energies”, ”like thoughts attract like thoughts”, and here forms the basis of “self fulfilling prophecy”.

Don’t under estimate the power of our thoughts. What we think, what we believe, would eventually come true. We think we are poor, we think we are unlucky, we think we are miserable, we eventually should become poor, unlucky and miserable. We think we are not good enough, we are incapable, we are not worthy, then we become so. We think we are not beloved, then we have no love. These negative thoughts would do us no good but to make us negative.

We are our own director, we are our own architecture, we paint our own lives. Take up the responsibilities now and stop blaming like:

I should certainly be more successful, but it was the overall environment that I cant achieve more.
The university life wasted all my time, I gained nothing from it.
I don’t like my work, it’s a waste of my life.
My life is so poor, everybody I love, they left me.

The actual cause is ourselves. It is us who don’t believe ourselves and don’t work hard for success; it is us who don’t make sense from anything; it is us who drive our beloved ones away.

It is not fate, it is how we think and the thinking comes true. Self fulfilling prophecy, it is what we have to learn and understand. Start thinking positive and believing ourselves today and we would notice for a change in our lives.

The Art of Happiness - the very advice from a great thinker

September 2nd, 2007

“I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is to seek happiness …” - The Art of Happiness, Dalai Lama

Thanks to this contemporary great thinker, the Dalai Lama, who reminds us the aim of our life, is to seek happiness and seek something better in our lives.

We think we all know this simple principle, do we? We are all confident that it is happiness we are pursuing for, right?

…… Are we really so sure? If we are so sure, why we are still miles away from happiness?

Dalai Lama’s happiness is not the simple materialistic pleasure or sensual satisfaction, it refers to the returning to the basic and pure state of our mind without negative thought. It is in this state that we could retrieve our gentleness, feelings of love, kindness, compassion, closeness and affection in our human nature. It is in this happiness state we could help others, grow friendship and share our love.

It is our mind who is always playing the tricks on us, creating negative thoughts, worse scenarios, bad feelings, etc., for ourselves. As a basic setting to fight for survival, our minds always drive us to to something dangerous, some crisis, some unhappy thinking such that we could prepare for the worse. This mind could not be eliminated, but we have to aware of it and understand what tricks it is playing on us. For all the negative thoughts and feelings our mind created for ourselves, 99% of those are unnecessary and damaging to us and all people around us. And it is this state of mind which separates us from happiness.

Dalai Lama, in his book, “the Art of Happiness”, suggests to us that we need to discipline our mind and to train our mind everyday, to bring in more positive thinking. He advises us: “… transforming your mind takes time. There are a lot of negative mental traits, so you need to address and counteract each one of these. It isn’t easy. It requires the repeated application of various techniques and taking the time to familiarise yourself with the practices. It’s a process of learning.”

Maybe I could share with you some of my own tips on how to train our mind towards happiness:

every morning, reminding ourselves that we would live a better day today, we feel happy and empowered
reminding ourselves to be appreciative and thankful to all the beautiful things on world and to all the people and artists creating all the beautiful things for us
reminding ourselves to be kind and gentle, love and compassionate, deep down from our hearts
reminding ourselves not to say “no” and “I can’t” to challenges, try to say “why not” and “great! let’s do it!“

Parable of Narcissus: the myth of falling in love

August 23rd, 2007

You must have heard the parable of Narcissus. He had fallen in love with himself. Looking into a silent pool of water, he fell in love with his own reflection. - “Love, Freedom, Aloness”, Osho

“Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection - not with himself. That is not true self-love. He fell in love with the reflection; the reflection is the other. He had become two, he had become divided. Narcissus was split. He was in a kind of schizophrenia. He had become two - the lover and the loved. He had become his own object of love - and that’s what happens to so many people who think they are in love.” This is how Osho reminds us about what we think we fall in love with somebody.

The Magic of Narcissus

We are all Narcissus, the story is actually an analogy for us all. For our self reflection, it is how we think we are and what we think we want to be. Just like Narcissus, we have the “magic” of spliting ourselves and projecting out our self reflection.

Love of Narcissus

When we fall in love with somebody, just like Narcissus looking at his own image reflected in the water (an analogy of our mind), we project our self reflections to our beloved ones. Narcissus fell in love with his own image, and it is our self reflection that we fall in love with. To love somebody, turns into the fulfilling of the love to ourselves.

We take one step further than Narcissus, we do not only ask our beloved ones to fit in our self reflection, we ask them to become our self reflection in this materialistic world (how romantic this is!). That’s why we have so many expectations on our beloved ones and we experience so many frustrations in love.

Love, in this form, is a kind of “selfish” love, not love for others. Don’t blame our beloved ones for failing our expectations and bringing us the frustrations, it is our selfish love that makes us unsatisfied. The myth of Narcissus, is a reminder for us all.

Angel Cards

July 31st, 2007

Emerging Angel

‘Your true self - radiant, powerful, successful, and intelligent - is now shining through the surface. Allow your true self to be visible to others, for you lift them up and inspire them. ’

(you are awesome in so many ways, and you are begining to trust and reveal your true nature more easily. at one time, you may have believed that you had to hide your true feelings from others or from yourself. now, however, you realise how vital and attractive expressing your authentic self is.

your angels are guiding you to honour your true feelings by expressing them to yourself and others. the angels will help you lovingly talk about your feelings so that no misunderstandings occur with friends and loved ones. your angels will never guide you to do or say anything that could hurt you or anyone else. they will also ensure that your life will emerge to a new level of inner peace as you let your true self come out and play.)

“Angel Cards” is an oracle to help you focus on your energy level and your spiritual status. Calling assistance from the universe and your guardian angels, you are about to reveal and return to your inner self, to pay attention to your present status and to recover and rebalance oneself.Tonight, out of intuition, I took out my Angel Cards and drew out one card in random. Then, my Emerge Angel spoke for me. My Angel draws my attention to the new energy emerging within myself and reveals my ability to “lovingly” communicate my feelings with others without fear. This Angel is for me, as well as for all of you. Do believe in yourself, believe in your own powerfulness and radiance, always communicate your true feelings with yourself and others.
