Mind Over Malady

Om Shanti,

Once the catchphrase of 1960s counterculture, "mindfulness" has finally graduated from the fringe to the mainstream. "Staying in the moment" is now the guiding principle of millions of devotees who faithfully practice mindfulness meditation to enrich their daily lives. Just as impressively, mindfulness has also attracted another group of admirers: clinical researchers, whose latest investigations document its surprising and powerful physical and mental health benefits—achieved… Continue

Love.... Hate....

Behold, My child, I come to meet with open arms those of you who want to accept My gifts. Your heart’s yearning will convey My love to you, My love for you demonstrates itself in your desire for Me, and this will also be your state in the beyond, you will constantly long for Me, and My love will grant you fulfilment without end. Behold, I placed love into your heart so that one day you should delight in beatitude when your love will be fulfilled. But I also placed the opposite impulse into you… Continue

Only love recognises the Deity…. Seekers of God….

Only in love will you be able to recognise the Deity, and a tremendous urge for truth will arise in you if you are lovingly active. God will reveal Himself as Love Itself to people. Consequently, anyone who lives in the light of truth must be embraced by love and fit in with everything that is wanted by God’s love. Hence someone who fulfils the Lord’s will and strives for ever increasing perfection will, in a manner of speaking, base his every action on God’s love and thereby, having emerged… Continue

Things I Didn't Know I Loved by Nazım Hikmet

Things I Didn't Know I Loved by Nazım Hikmet

It's 1962 March 28th

I'm sitting by the window on the Prague-Berlin train

night is falling

I never knew I liked

night descending like a tired bird on a smoky wet plain

I don't like

comparing nightfall to a tired bird

I didn't know I loved the earth

can someone who hasn't worked the earth love it

I've never worked the earth

it must be my only Platonic love

and here… Continue

Would like to get in touch with storytellers - a journey to be launched!

There is a law in the world that should never be broken. The grown-ups in the world have agreed that all children in the world have the right to be born and to live in this world with love in their hearts. From the time when people on the Earth celebrated year 2000 and the new Millennium, the Annus Horrible have manifested – year after a year it has been so terrible that many children in the world have had their hearts broken and even stolen. Children have died in plenty because of the… Continue

THE SEVEN HABITS OF EXCELLENCE

. LISTENING TO KNOW: to get closer to the other, the first step is to have the capacity to listen, people want to be heard. People go through life looking for a confidant, but we want everyone to talk and engage anyone to listen.

The human quality begins by listening, by pure interest to serve. Our ability to be close to the other depends on our ability to… Continue

~ Albert Einstein

“It is through cooperation, rather than conflict, that your greatest successes will be derived.”

I was listening to the news this morning

I heard the schools asking for some of the bail out money,and you know what!?I think that is a great idea!WHY?Because if we don't give our children quality education no matter where they come from,take a good long look at things now and ask yourself "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?"

Why,because you will have to answer to your children later on in life and that will be the History lessons you will have to give them as well

What will you do when the time comes?

What will you say to them,we… Continue
