Regain Your Power

Who do you think is in control of your mind?

Who do you think is the master of your life?

Who do you think has real power over you? 

In case you didn’t know your whole existence

Is determined mostly by the status of your mind 

Which is whether in peace or slave of feelings  

When your reactions are only based on feelings

You lose all your power and become a puppet

At the mercy of people, events or circumstances 

But to regain your power and remain the master

Stillness and peace of mind are the way to follow

Without any identification to the feelings in you   

There is a relationship between your state of mind

And how you judge and react to what is in your life

Which by nature is neutral and without meaning

The only meaning whatever may have for you

Is the one you give it through your judgments

Often based on nothing and are thus erroneous 

There also lies your happiness and unhappiness

As direct outcomes of your own mental attitude

Developed and strengthened from false thinking 

Stop judging and identifying yourself with feelings

Stop reacting from the false unchecked assumptions

And do whatever you can to keep your mind safe

That is the price to pay to get your power back

That is the way out to give yourself freedom again

And at last to know the happiness you truly are

There is only one version of yourself

Most people do not like the kind of person they are at one point of their life. They always feel inferior or not enough worthy, compared to others around them that seem to be more blessed and more lucky than they are. And, doing so, they make themselves miserable their entire life.

The truth, however, is that they can only be but who they are right now, no more no less, and not who they would like to be. They don't understand that they are a specific version of God and no one, in the entire universe, can be comparable to them.

The point is that you are who you are, and you must accept and love yourself as well as your life just as it is, without condition.  And your life is about anything related to you, such as  your body, your wife, your children, your family and relatives, your friends, your colleagues, your job, your home, your car, your failures, your successes, your weaknesses, your strengths, etc.
Whatever is related to you is part of you, and has contributed to what you are in this moment. And, denying a part it is denying your entire being. Your wholeness then is about your present reality, and nothing can be missing to you. That is, if you loose one leg right now, you are still whole, even without that leg, because your wholeness is about who you are right now, and it is perfect.

From another point of view, if you consider yourself to be a spirit, and not a body, it is evident that whatever occurs to your body cannot affect your spirit which therefore remains whole forever. You see, the meaning of your life depends on the perspective from which you look at it, whatever may happen to you.

From today, the decision to give a positive meaning to the circumstances of your life belongs to you. And what was considered as "bad" before has now become the best thing that could happen to you. Are you ready to  accept this?

Three reminders for dealing with occurences

Whatever may happen to you in life, always keep in mind the following:

I - GOD LOVES YOU 

1- His love for you is unconditional and eternal;
2- Everything is a blessing and comes for your highest good, as it is an opportunity to learn and to grow;
3- In this order, you must return your love to God, in the form of gratitude and appreciation for everything.

II - YOU ARE HERE TO GET BACK HOME

1- That is your main purpose, and it is achieved through forgiveness; forgiveness of yourself, of others, and everything;
2- But, resistance to what is, is the principal enemy you would ever have to overcome. So, never give room to it;
3- Always, manifest gratitude and appreciation  for whatever pops up in your life, without judging  it as "bad" or whatever.

III - ONLY GOD IS

1- Loose yourself. You don't have an individual or separate life, apart from God. God is All That Is, and nothing exists out of Him. You suffer only because you resist, and you resist because of your attempts to separate yourself from the Whole,which is other people, events and circumstances, forgetting that if the branch separates itself from the tree, it dies.

2- Therefore, become One with everybody and everything. That way, you no longer separate yourself from the Whole (God) and will not feel poor, abandoned, alone or powerless again. Because you now understand that your neighbor, your colleague, your mate,  the "stranger" in the street and yourself, are One and only One being.

Also, you no longer run after anything, as you realize that what belongs to others is yours, also. So, you feel and express gratitude for others's blessings, instead of jealousy, knowing that like this, you will experience them in return.Because you would have finally understood that all the branches of one single tree share the same sap.

It will be done onto you according to your faith

It will be done onto you according to your faith. This eternal truth in the holy scriptures has been repeated over and over since centuries and is still accurate today.Simply put, the meaning you give to anything in your life will be your reality. 

It is for this same reason Christ advised to not judge anything. "Judge not", he said, for whatever judgement you will give to any event or circumstance will turn out to be your personal reality. Because your judgement then becomes a decision that produces effects. We had already discussed this issue in the past. But I think it is worth coming back on this important question which is in direct relationship with the way we create our life.

The point where I'd like to get is the following. As you are going into a certain experience in your life, particularly the one you judge as "bad", pay attention to what you think and how you feel presently about it. Because, as stated earlier, your outcomes  will be in direct proportion with what you believe, and the way you think and feel.

There is one thing to keep in mind, always. It is that God loves you and everything you experience is for your highest good. From this postulate, only give positive meanings to everything and see whatever you experience as a blessing, because it is, indeed.

The advantage of this technique is that not only will you neither no longer feel bad and negative about yourself, nor see yourself as a victim, powerless, not enough, limited, guilty, separated from God and so on, but chances are that what was previously perceived as "bad" experiences will turn out to be very positive ones as well as blessings in your life. 

Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest american thinkers put it well in one of his personal mastery traits with this advice: "notice the blessing in everything, big and small, dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from".

Once again, the meaning you give to whatever you experience is up to you, and will become your personal reality, not only inwardly, but externally also. In this lifetime, everyone of us has his particular lessons to learn, in particular circumstances. That explains why our birth conditions are not the same.We were not born in  same countries, in same families, or with the same color. 

There had never been a competition of any kind, or a contest from which winners got the reward to be born in specific countries and in specific conditions. Therefore, demonstrating pride for being a citizen of  one specific country, for ones appartenence in such or whatever, are pure ignorance. Even worse, this mental attitude would take you far away from your purpuse, which is to learn during this life time, and delay your personal evolution.

Being "rich" or "famous" in this world is not a gratification or a reward you receive in recognition of a personal performance or achievement  in some discipline. Just as being "poor" or suffering from a grave "disease" is not a sort of punishment due to some bad deeds in the past. Those are merely conditions we all go through in one moment or another in the cycle of  life, to enable us to learn what is to be learn in our process of evolution.

Those who are rich and famous today had already lived in different conditions and will again go through many others in the cycle of their existence. The same thing is true for those who are considered as poor today. It is sometimes amazing to see people telling others proudly how they got where they are, in terms of acquisitions, fame, or wealth as if at the level of ego, they were totally in charge of their apparent success. 

The truth is, those people don't even have a clue themselves how they got where they currently are. They have only an idea of what can be perceived on the surface of the conscious mind which, as known today, represents a very tiny and insignificant part of human being consciousness, unlimited and including the subconscious and the superconscious.

Today, everybody wants to be rich and famous and no one wants to be poor, because material "poverty" is seen as something "bad". But, who really knows the purpose of this apparent misery? Who reaches a clear understanding of the deep meaning and the profound wisdom hidden behind these particular conditions against which the entire planet is fighting?

If being poor was such a hideous condition, why did Buddha left the comfort of his fathers' palace, for this condition in which he finally found enlightenment? Why did Jesus refuse the riches of the world  proposed  by the devil or ego to him?  

Can you imagine a world in which everybody is rich and famous? In such a world, who will be doing what for whom? In other words, who then will be the master and who will be the servant? Who will be applauding the other? Who will be the teacher and who will be the student? And if everybody gets rich, what value will have money again?

You should thing about it. The relative value money has today is simply due to the fact that almost 4/5 of the population is "poor". Now, invert the tendency, and the richest men of the world will become anonymous, maybe like you in this moment.

Somenone  is called "rich", only because another is called "poor". There is neither superiority nor inferiority in that, because both are just two sides of the same coin; learning different lessons from different perspectives. It is just like that.  

You see, nothing is really as you imagine, or as you perceive it. You are absolutely a perfect son of God, living now certain conditions in this life time. I can assure you, there is nothing "good" nor "bad" in those conditions; just lessons to learn from them. 

However, the best way to live these conditions, particularly the "bad" ones that almost everybody wants to avoid, is through understanding, based on the knowledge that underneath each  circumstance lies a lesson, and a blessing, whose sole purpose, when discovered, is to help you evolve a step further, on your path to your spiritual realization.

You are not your feelings or emotions

Most of the time, if not always, we are sort of possessed by our emotions or feelings. We identify ourselves with them and our behaviour becomes their reflection. So, when fear or worry come, we are fear or worry, and react accordingly.

The truth is, we are not our emotions. They just pop up as they wish, without our permission and there is nothing to do about it. But, as they cause us suffering or discomfort, we generally attempt to resist or suppress them .

But, this does not work, because we don't have the power to suppress our emotions. And as we resist them, they persist. Our emotions have their own life, not dependant of our will. What to do then to get out of their influence to us? How to deal with them so that we don't suffer anymore and be free?

First, don't try to resist your emotions. Because as you know it, what you resist persist. Second, realize that your emotions are not your ennemies, but messengers with something special to reveal you, if you listen. As long as you haven't got the message, they will keep poping up, endlessly.

For your awareness, know that the main message your emotions of fear, worry, anxiety or frustration bring you is this:

You are in danger, or threatened by something that has the power to harm you!

That is the main message of your emotions, coming from the subconscious. But, is it true?

No!

Why?

Just because, you are not there. Who you are is not the body. You are spirit, living safely in God, where your real home is. So, nothing whatsoever can ever threaten you!

Therefore, when your emotions pop up, welcome them as you'd do with a good friend of yours that bring you an important message. Then, after listening to them quietly, reassure them kindly and lovingly that you are safe in God. No danger or threat. There is nothing to fear or worry about, and that all is well.

Remember, the only person you have to control or master is yourself, not people, events or circumstances. They just pop up as they wish, and emotions related to them bubble up almost instantly.

What you have to control then, is your reaction. That is all that matters, and nothing else. You cannot have control over people, events and circumstances. Accept everything with unconditional love, without resistance, just because what is, is.

You don't have to follow the course of events or circumstances. Just be still, let them be, observe them as they come and go without any atachment. That is, let anger be, let worry be, let anxiety be, let fear be. Lovingly listen to them and reassure them, before releasing them.

As you may realize, all the process of life is about you and your relationships with everything else including people, events, circumstances and all the emotions and feelings generated from them. That's what is called life.

Everything in your life fits together

The universe is a big puzzle in which there is no such thing as accident or chance. Everything fits together. Most of the time, you cannot perceive the logic behind events and circumstances in your life, specially when they do not please you.

The truth is that everything happens in an absolute order. Everything, without exception. But, because you don't know this truth, you resist to what you lebel as "bad". However, there is no such thing as "good" or "bad". People, events and circumstances show up in your life as perfect pieces of the puzzle, in a perfect order and at the right time.

The thing is, your current conscious state is so limited that it does not enable you to perceive the whole picture of the puzzle. That is, to see things as they really are . If you could, you would find it so beautiful and marvellous that, whatever happens to you would be welcomed joyfully like a blessing, with lot of appreciation and gratitude.

Your task is just to collaborate with the Great Architect, God, the Universe and trust Him blindly on the basis of this knew understanding, instead of resisting to His will. You didn't create yourself and you didn't created the universe. A Great and Infinite Intelligence far above your very little understanding of the world, did it.

In order to collaborate fully with this Great Intelligence, bear in mind the following reminders:

1. Release all resistance in you about everything;
2. Say "yes" to everything that comes your way, "good" or "bad";
3. Remember that everything is a perfect portion of the puzzle and all these portions fit together. Welcome them with appreciation and gratitude;
4. Remember that your journey will not last forever. So live the present moment the best you can;
5. Because you cannot see the whole picture of the puzzle, trust the Infinite who created it;
6. Remember also that you are yourself a portion of this big puzzle. You don't have a life on your own. Your life is in the Infinite Intelligence who created everything, including you;
7. Really everything, like all the teachings given to us, fits together:

• The power of now (Eckhart Tolle)
• Appreciation & gratitude (benjamin Franklin)
• Loving what is (Byron ketty)
• It is good to feel good (Abraham)
• Repentence, forgiveness, love, gratitude and 100% responsibility to go back home (Hew Len)
• Forgiveness and love to go back home (A course in miracles)

To summerize, you don't have a clue what the meaning of life is. Therefore, trust the Infinite Intelligence. Live with love, appreciation and gratitude for everybody and everything in your life because they are part of the puzzle created by God Himself.
Doing so, you release resistance and go with the flow of life. And this is the sign that you are enjoying the journey of life. But, don't forget what your main objective here is: to return back home in God, in the fullness of your entire being.

You asked for it!

You asked for it!

Whatever is happening in your life right now, remember, you asked for it! You are not a victim of anyone or anything; not at all. This is impossible. The truth is that, at a certain level, everything that has ever happened to you or is happening right now, had been planned long time ago by yourself , and for a certain reason.

The promise made by yourself to yourself at that time was that, no matter what, you’d succeed and at last, find your way home to your Source. Therefore, there is no need to resist to anybody or anything, nor complain about them, no matter how “bad” or threatening they seem to appear.

So, because you asked for it, the only thing you have to do is assuming 100% responsibility for everything; no exceptions. The advantage of this attitude is that it releases you from the resistance born from frustration and fear you experiment when you believe that people, events and circumstances are projected to you by an external and powerful force against which you are totally powerless, in the way that you seem to be a victim, instead of a creator of your own life.

One thing, billions interpretations

For everything in your life, be it a circumstance or event, there are billions interpretations. You decide the one that suits you the best. And in order to recognize it, analyse the way you feel. If you really, really feel good about one of them, that's it. Go for it for whatever you have in view!

The best thing that would happen to you

Have you ever asked yourself what is the best thing that has ever happened to you in your life? Or if such a question was asked to you, what would be your aswer?

First, know that everything that has ever come into your life up to this day, I mean everything, was right for you at this precise moment, and therefore should be wellcomed. Maybe you haven't appreciated many of those things.

Nevertheless, they were perfectly arranged specially for you by the Universe, although you would not had like them when they occured. Why? Because there is no such thing as random event or circumstance in this Universe, which works in a precise and mathematical order for every specific living creature in the world.

Now that you know this, what would be this best thing for you, among all others? According to me, all the things that have happened to you up to now, "big" or "small", "good" or "bad", are equal in their essence, and none of them is more important than others.

They are equal in the sense that they are all projections of your inner world, just like shadows. And, as everyone knows, shadows are not reality. Shadows are nothing, because having no life of their own. They are just reflected outside, on the screen of life, which let you know what your inner state is according to what you believe yourself to be, and help you take any appropriate action.

The fact is, everything that happens, reflects your state of mind. It is a translation of something else inside of you that generally you do not know; because having its roots at the inconscious level, in the form of strong beliefs about yourself.

Events and circumstances of your life are just like smoke coming out from a burning house. Smoke is not fire itself, but it lets you know that your house in on fire. Generally, in this case, the appropriate action is to call firemen quickly to extinguish the fire.

Anything you perceive with your physical senses, "good" or "bad", is not from you, but from your "right" or "erroneous" beliefs about who you are. However, Who you are is far beyond your conscious understanding. But, many people get confused with projections of their mind and themselves.


Now, what is the best thing that would ever happen to you?

Considering that everything that happens to you is a projection of your mind, thus directly linked to your beliefs about yourself. Considering that what happens to you has nothing to do with "good" or "bad" luck, but directly connected to your erroneous or right inconscious beliefs about yourself. Considering that anything that happens to you is a shadow, without a life on its own. Considering that anything that happens is merely translations of inconscious beliefs about yourself. Considering that to eliminate the smoke you must extinguish the fire in the house and not focus on the smoke. Considering that who you really has nothing to do with your inconscious beliefs and their related projections.

Considering all the above, in my opinion, the best thing that would ever happen to you would be to completelly and permanently extinguish the fire in your house. That means, erase and remove for good, all the erroneous beliefs about yourself which reside in your mind, and live permanently connected to who you really are.

How to extinguish your inner fire or erase your erroneous and inconscious beliefs about yourself? You do it by using the universal eraser: forgiveness. Ask and pray God for forgiveness of all your erroneous beliefs about yourself. Then, express gratitude for the "smoke", or outside events and circumstances for letting you know whatever is going on inside you.

"Know yourself", said the philosopher. Those two words are the key to a more happier, significant and meaningful life.

Decide to not suffer anymore

Which is better, to suffer or not suffer ?

In my opinion, the second option is far better than the first. Because I notice that When I am angry, worried, afraid, or anxious about something, I feel bad inside of me and experience lot of suffering at the same time.

When I am happy about something, I feel good and delighted. Why is that ? and what that means ?

As many people have already found, all feelings are inside of us, good and bad, positive and negative. Feelings do not come from the outside, external events and circumstances are only pretexts for us to bring dormant feelings in us to life. But, they always have been, are always, and will always be there, in us.

The good news is that, we have the choice. Yes, no matter what happens to us, we have the choice to suffer or not. I am not talking about happiness here. I am talking about deciding not to suffer anymore, no matter what may happens to us.

There is one simple reason to that. When you experience something "bad", then get angry, worried, sad, or whatever. Do you, through those reactions, change anything to what is ? I don't think so. Instead, you suffer in your heart and your body, which is by the way, the source of many of your diseases.

However, when you decide to react differently, things may not change either, but at least, your health will be safe and you will not feel bad, or suffer uselessly. When you do that, chances are that you will experience less resistance about what is and feel good, which is far better that feeling bad.

The thing to remember therefore is this : all feelings are inside of you, they do not come from outside. When you know that, you chose the ones you want to experience now, instead of being driven by automatic feelings and reactions coming from you and often created by external events and circumstances .

Refuse to be a puppet. Chose, no matter what, to not suffer again, and be free !
