“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.” ~ Stephen Covey

  

 

Can't Quite Figure Out What's Wrong?

That's because you're built to notice what's right! We have become hyper vigilant about possible dangers every day because we are not conditioned to use our creative capacity to create nearly as much as we are practiced in using it to protect ourselves from potential hurt or disappointment. Get your Groove back on by re-arranging your focus and buffing up that Creative Muscle. Start by noticing what's amazing about your Life each day. (Herein lies the difference between a rut and a groove).

REACTION vs. CREATION. Same letters, just re-arranged! Hmmmm....Groovy.

~ Dr.Sue Morter

 

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” ― Rumi

 

“Creativity takes courage. ” ― Henri Matisse

 

 

 P.S: What if, life could be FUN ??

 

What if, we could let go of being REACTIVE and started focusing on being CREATIVE and PROACTIVE ?????

“If everything is consciousness and patterns of light and information, we are free to create as we choose.-MarBeth Dunn

 

Despite our efforts to be present in everything that we do…..it takes only a moment of unawareness to slip into old patterns of unconscious living.

In those moments, if we could catch ourselves we could get back on track and be mindful or jump back into self judgment,self criticism and self denigration.

The power to pause and be fully present is a >>>>

 

 

Never miss the

to get back to total awareness.

 

Just got back home from Mumbai after three days of learning processes that help restore harmony,balance and well being. There was so much happening that I could not inform you that I was going to be away. Sorry about that.

Hi everyone. ..

This is Bhagya's son Vivek.

Informing all her readers that my mom is out of 

station at the moment and will return Monday night.

Thanks so much for reading. ..

Warm regards. 

“A miracle is nothing more or less than this: Anyone who has come into
a knowledge of his or her true identity, of his or her oneness with the
all-pervading wisdom and power, this makes it possible for laws
higher than the ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him or her.”
~ Ralph Waldo Trine

 

IDENTITY

“How does one seek union with God?”

“The harder you seek, the more distance you create between Him and you.”

“So what does one do about the distance?”

“Understand that it isn’t there.”

“Does that mean that God and I are one?”

“Not one. Not two.”

“How is that possible?”

“The sun and its light, the ocean and the wave, the singer and his song—not one. Not two.”

~ Anthony de Mello

 

“All things are linked with one another, and this oneness is sacred; there is nothing that is not interconnected with everything else.  For things are interdependent,
and they combine to form this universal order.  There is only one universe made up of all things, and one creator who pervades them; there is one substance and one law, namely, common reason in all thinking creatures, and all truth is one--if, as we believe, there is only one path of perfection for all beings who share the same mind.

~ Marcus Aurelius

 

“Even as the scent dwells within the flower, so God resides always within your heart. “~ Traditional Sikh Wisdom

 

P.S: The awareness that there is no separation between the Creator and the creation is a source of great strength at all times,especially during challenging times.

When one is a part of the DIVINE ……EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

“Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.”

~ Francis Bacon

 

The Governor on his travels stepped in to pay homage to the Master.

“Affairs of State leave me no time for lengthy dissertations,” he said. “Could you put the essence of religion into a paragraph or two for a busy man like me?”

“I shall put it into a single word for the benefit of Your Highness.”

“Incredible! What is that unusual word?”

“Silence.”

“And what is the way to Silence?”

“Meditation.”

“And what, may I ask, is meditation?”

“Silence.”

~Anthony de Mello

 

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 

P.S: The essence of life often reveals itself to me in the moments when I choose to be silent and go within.

In the silence of the moment there is guidance,clarity and the best answers/solutions.

Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.

“There are many paths to enlightenment.
Be sure to take one with a heart.” ~Lao Tzu

HOMECOMING

“There are three stages in one’s spiritual development,” said the Master. “The carnal, the spiritual and the divine.”

“What is the carnal stage?” asked the eager disciples.”

“That’s the stage when trees are seen as trees and mountains as mountains.”

“And the spiritual?”

“That’s when one looks more deeply into things—then trees are no longer trees and mountains no longer mountains.”

“And the divine?”

“Ah, that’s Enlightenment,” said the Master with a chuckle, “when trees become trees again and mountains, mountains.”

~ Anthony de Mello

 

“If we demand enlightenment, it hides. . . . All that we can do is make ourselves enlightenment-prone. We learn to treasure the possibility of awakening in all moments and
circumstances. We learn to simplify and cultivate the
receptivity of heart that can be touched by profound
understanding. We learn to listen deeply and discover
stillness amid the movement in our world.” ~ Christina Feldman

 

P.S:

What we choose to perceive in everything we see makes the difference.

Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.

“The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

WORSHIP

To the disciple who was overly respectful the Master said,

“Light is reflected on a wall. Why venerate the wall?

Be attentive to the light.”

~Anthony de Mello

 

“I don't think God wants to be worshipped. I think the only pure worship of God is by loving one another, and I think all other forms of worship became a substitute for the love that we should show one another.”― Charles M. Schulz

 

P.S: What if we could choose to be equally aware of and attentive to the light within too ????

Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.

Namaste,

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

This Week's Word: Resolve

What a wonderful world it would be if we could resolve all of our issues. Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to go through life without a few items left unresolved.
When you continue to feel upset about the way a relationship or situation played out, you are still holding the energy. There are certain situations with people and circumstances that just can't be resolved in the outside world.
The key to moving forward is resolving the feelings within yourself. To accomplish this you must be in acceptance and let go of your judgment. Your peace is in your hands, don't give the power to others. 

Joe Nunziata

 

"Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us."- Earl Nightingale

 

“The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.”

~Jim Rohn

 P.S: What would it take for us to learn to resolve things as and when they happen ????

When we choose not to do so, we end up suppressing and piling up unwanted stuff…..which does not allow us to move forward in life with ease.

“The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps.” ~ David Lloyd George

“Make a clean break with your past and you will be enlightened.”said the Master.

“I am doing that by degrees.”

“Growth is achieved by degrees. Enlightenment is instantaneous.”

Later he said, “Take the leap! You cannot cross a chasm in little jumps.”

~Anthony de Mello

 

“When making a decision, be it small or large, remember that whatever decision you choose will ultimately affect your future.”~ Isaiah Harden

P.S: What if we could choose to leave the past where it belongs ….in the past ????

~ Junius

 

What the Indian taught me...

I have a simple saying that goes like this...
"There are 6.2 billion people on this planet and I can learn something new from every one of them."
Here is a true story about what I learned from a Miccosukee Indian named Roy.
I live on a lake in Miami Florida, and a couple of years ago I noticed that one of my neighbors had paid someone to
build a Tiki Hut in his backyard near the lake.
The Tiki Hut  was made of Cypress Wood and was very attractive. My
wife and I decided that we wanted to get one and I asked my neighbor where he got his Tiki Hut. He replied, "the Miccosukee
Indians built it for me." I asked him how to get in touch with the
Indians who built it, and he game me the phone number of an Indian named
Roy.
I called Roy and told him that I wanted a Tiki Hut like the one he had built for my neighbor. Roy said he would come out to my house and give me an estimate.
A few days later Roy arrived at my house to give me an estimate.
I told him where I wanted it built and what size I wanted. Roy said the price was $1,900 dollars....I was impressed as I expected it to cost more.
I told Roy I would contact him when I was ready to proceed and he left. A few weeks later I called Roy and told him that I was ready to have him come out and build my Tiki Hut. I have worked with housing contractors many times in the past and I expected that Roy would require a 50% deposit to get started with the work.  When I asked Roy about the deposit his reply was " I will come to your home and build the
Tiki Hut,and when I am finished you can pay me."
I was shocked!
In all my years of dealing with contractors and sub-contractors
I had never heard anybody say this. They always required a deposit
and usually wanted cash. Roy told me he would be out in a week to build
the Tiki Hut.
One week later Roy and his crew of 4 Indians arrived at my home to
build my Tiki Hut. They had a trailer filled with palm fronds and beautiful Cypress Wood. For the next 8 hours they meticulously worked constructing the Tiki Hut. Some friends stopped by and we watched together in amazement as they built the Tiki Hut using techniques that had been passed down for generations.
When they were just about finished I noticed that Roy was sitting at the top of the Tiki Hut....he was looking off into the distance as if he was looking back to another time many years earlier. 
I took a photo of Roy as he rested on the top of my new Tiki Hut.
Before Roy had arrived that day I had gone to the bank to cash a check for $1,900 dollars. I placed 19 crisp $100 dollar bills in a plain white envelope. Now that the work was complete, I shook Roy's hand and thanked him for
doing such a great job.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the envelope and handed it to Roy. Roy looked me in the eye and placed the envelope in his pocket...he never
once looked to see what was inside the envelope, he said goodbye, got into his
truck and drove away.
Think about this story, read it to your children, Roy's example is one to be followed for the rest of our lives.

~Dan Robey

 

“The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.” ~ Zig Ziglar

 

“Integrity has no need of rules.” ~ Albert Camus

 

 

“Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.” ~ Dennis Prager

 

P.S: Integrity allows us to function in this reality in a way that we do not need to speak about our work….because our work speaks for us.

“Don't let other people choose your path for you. Deep down you know the right way to go, so do the right thing and follow your heart.” ~ Author Unknown

  The disciple was a Jew. “What good work shall I do to be acceptable to God?”

“How should I know?” said the Master. “Your Bible says that Abraham practised hospitality and God was with him. Elias loved to pray and God was with him. David ruled a kingdom and God was with him too.”

“Is there some way I can find my own allotted work?”

“Yes. Search for the deepest inclination of your heart and follow it.”

~ Anthony de Mello

 

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” ~ Steve Jobs

P.S: What feels light is right and that is how one feels when one chooses to follow one’s heart.
