The Blessed Life

It is important that I forgive myself.  I have to forgive myself for making all the mistakes, for adding up to all the flaws and for effecting all the misunderstandings.  I have to forgive myself for all my bad decisions.  I have to forgive myself for all the misgivings. I have to forgive myself so that I can learn from my errors.  Forgiveness gives me the insight to move out of the past and into the present. It is this act of becoming fully aware of my imperfections that I write these prayers.  I am not perfect with my thoughts, my words, my deeds and my actions.  It is my humble request to wake up.  It is a deep hopeful wish to own those errors so that I can improve on the quality of life. These prayers are my conversation with God.  These prayers are my dire attempts to connect with the Divine.  These prayers make me to embrace peace and that, with God's grace, I will find the light. I write these prayers to clean all my past beliefs, erro...

The tragedy of a man's life is what dies inside of him while he lives.  But, the man who would know the world seek first within his being's depths.  And the man who would truly know himself develop interest in the world. I am not my thoughts and I have to let the thoughts to come and go like clouds just floating on by.  I am not my emotions.  I am not my feelings.  I am not my body.  I am, in fact, just the light of Divinity. In that light of Divinity in this House of Humanity, I have nothing to do but learn to be a witness to Life.  I have to participate to make the light brighter.  I have to engage in making the House of Humanity a beautiful transitory world.  I have to love the love of the Divine. It is, however, unfortunate that in the House of Humanity, I often forget about this Light.  Instead, with all the accumulation, creation and acceptance of life experiences, I use them against my own source.   The tragedy of a man is wh...

Awareness is not good enough when I am not going to live by its true insight.  It is useless to tell myself that I am aware of what is good and what is not and yet fail to act on its real meaning.  It is more an ego thing to say that I know what is right and what is wrong and, yet, continue to live in oblivion. I live in a society where humans live and strive with what they think about each other.  There can be realization, understanding and wisdom but the weakness in humans, in me, still strongly prevail.  Like most, what I see is basically what I believe.  Unfortunately, that is not necessarily true. As much as I am telling myself to live with 'Life Is Beautiful' and 'Don't Judge' modes, it is not easy to consistently stay inside that perimeters.  I am living in a society that feeds on criticism and I am part of it.  Whatever I think of my society, their likeness and personas lie within me too. I cannot change my world when I am not changing myself....

As a human, I possess the Four Control Dramas.  As I live, they have become part of me. I am the Intimidator, I am the Interrogator, I am the Aloof and I am the Poor Me.  I recognize these behaviours in me. (Dear James Redfield, Thank You for letting me to reflect.  Thank You for 'The Celestine Prophecy'.) Whether I act them consciously or unconsciously, they tell a lot about myself.  Whether I react them knowingly or unknowingly, they highlight my imperfections.  Whether I behave them intentionally or unintentionally, they prove that I am flawed.  Aren't these enough to be the case that I am full of wrong-doings? Would I accept and admit their existence within me?  How much do I want to acknowledge that these control dramas are part of me, in each day I am here on Mother Earth?  Should I be proud?  Should I be ashamed? Now, should I completely recognize these behaviours (and I must), what do I want to learn here?  Accepting them, can I ...

With every face I meet, there is always a story to tell.  Everyone, including myself, has at least a story.  Everyone, in their unspoken ways, is fighting a battle that I know nothing about.  Sometimes, the strongest individuals in the morning are those that cry all night. I live in a world where true emotions are always buried deep within.  For sure, I can never know what it takes for someone to get out of bed, look and feel as presentable as possible and face the day.  I have to understand that everybody has their own hardships and struggles, regardless of whether I can see it or not. Reality is, there is no way I can accurately tell what every individual's life is truly like.  In life, I may walk with a friend but I cannot take his or her path.  That path of life, in everyone, is his or hers alone. I can never know until I make an effort to ask.  And, that does not mean that I will eventually know.  When I am not asking, I must not judge....

When life is teaching me lessons, about acquiring experience every day, I should have a mindset that today has to be better than yesterday.  This philosophy has to make me to be proactive.  This gift has to make me to appreciate all the breaths I take.  That I am alive for another day to make things right. Life is a journey of becoming better human.  It is to prepare my homeward bound for the after life.  Life is not about being better than someone else but it is about being better at myself.  Today is my chance to work harder and be better than I was yesterday. Since life moves forward and does not allow me to go back and fix what I have done wrong in the past, the only choice I have is to look at today.  I have to earn it with a sincere longing to make it right.  I have to be committed, to have better thoughts, better decisions and better actions. As I look back at yesterday, I shall clean, delete and erase all the unwanted data, all those belie...

Words are energy.  They live, they grow and they become actions.  Words underscore all actions.  They can either confirm or betray.  It is important that I use words to say the actual thing.  I must not say one word and use it to mean something else altogether.   I shall not talk for talk sake.  That will help me not to let words fly out unnecessarily.  Sometimes, the things that would serve situations best are contemplation and quietness.  When I have nothing better to say, it is wise that I take the silence pills.  There is no necessity for me to be heard nor I have the last words.  Listening will be better, instead.   The words that I use to communicate are reflection of my thoughts.  So is the tone I use to say out the words.  Words act out what is in my mind.  Words have meaning and are powerful.   With words, I build a story, create an action and make someone to feel comfortable and welcome. ...

It is important, at my next phase, that I live my life with heightened happiness, joy, peace and love.  I have had a wonderful youthful life and enjoyed it much.  They filled, guided and showed me on the next path to move forward. With all that I have learned, I want to live by them now.  I want to immerse and connect myself with its knowledge.  From this day forward, I want to flow with the flow of life.  I want a much more peaceful life.  I want a life that elevates me spiritually and be simple with it. Living a simple life is to have space and time for myself.  It is about doing with less.  Having more and doing more do not lead to happiness.  It does not guarantee to be peaceful either.  A simple life is to find the simplest things and being content with solitude and savouring the serenity of the moment. I should not be chasing after the rainbows forever.  Instead, I have to believe that I am inside the rainbow now.  I have...

As the song goes, 'There can be miracles when you believe'.  Indeed it is and I believe in that.  Believe is like a magnet.  It attracts what is honestly desired, genuinely wished for.  As Louise Hay says 'No matter what we choose to believe or think, the Universe always says "Yes" to us'. When these beliefs do not turn into miracles, it has to do with me - the way I think.  It has nothing to do with the process.  It is the fault of the mind not able to focus, not knowing what it truly wants.  Believe profoundly influences the next best thing.  That, it opens the Universe inside of me because there is deep faith and hope.   I have to believe in something in order for that something to exist.  The so-called miracles happen because I live for that purpose.  A purpose that I believe in.  Miracles are what I create, when I let go and let God.  There are miracles when all the actions taken put me in at the right place at the ri...

The spiritual body.  The mental body.  The emotional body.  The physical body.  These four bodies make up the person that I am.  Each of these bodies serves me through my conscious and sub-conscious minds. They can either complement or in conflict with each other.  When they are complementing, life is good.  But, when they are in conflict, it is where dis-eases appear.  It is a condition where there is no 'ease' but ill health.  It is a situation where emotions get tangled in the webs of stress. At the other end, there is my soul where it connects to the higher mind, super conscious mind.  The super conscious mind encompasses a level of awareness that sees beyond material reality.  It is the mind of light, the all knowing intelligence.  Here, it is where every aspects of consciousness are experienced. As a human, I have to be one with all of them - all the four bodies and the three minds.  It is the only connection that ra...
