Positive Thoughts & The Three Worlds

The Three Worlds
The physical world on which we are now living is known as the Corporeal World. Beyond this world of matter, of physical elements, there is the subtle region of light, sometimes referred to as the astral plane. Beyond the subtle region is the Incorporeal World, a place of constant, unchangeable light, of complete stability, silence and peace. The land of Nirvana, which means the land beyond sound or the land of release or of liberation. The Divine Abode of God is in the Incorporeal World, beyond the corporeal and the subtle regions; it is the world of infinite eternal light, the Supreme Abode, also called the Brahmlok or Paramdhãm.
God is not Omnipresent
God is the Father of all souls; He is not omnipresent in this corporeal world. If the Supreme Soul did pervade the entire universe, surely then, the qualities of the Supreme Soul would pervade everything. There would be no difference the living and the non-living, and each and every being would reflect the qualities of the Supreme. Such things as sin, sorrow, impurity and peaceless would not exist and only the qualities of God would be displayed-love, purity, knowledge, peace and bliss. To-day, we see that, in all people, vices, pain and peacelessness are present, i.e. Maya (Nescience and evil) is present. If God were omnipresent, purity, peace and happiness ought to be found everywhere but these are not found.
We are intimately related to God, who is our Supreme Father, Supreme Teacher and Supreme Preceptor. We are the children of the One who is the Lord of the Three Worlds, and is the Supreme Father and the Supreme Soul. Without being omnipresent in the three worlds or in all the souls, God knows the full story of the souls, His children, and complete history and geography of the three worlds. He knows the whole story of the Drama of the world of human beings from its beginning to its end.

Positive Thoughts
Spirituality
Spirituality is not a luxury, something for people who have nothing else to do but sit around and meditate. In fact, it is the lack of spirituality in daily life that is causing the breakdown and destruction of our planet and our civilization. As we restore spirituality we can find methods of working together to create better selves and a better world. Thus we can see, looking at our global relationships, that spirituality is an integral part of life.
Yoga
Yoga, which is associated with meditation, simply means to have union
or make connection with some object, subject, person or God. However,
yoga is usually associated with spirituality. Yoga is to have connection and to have dialogue or sweet conversation with the divine source of inspiration, whom many call God. Meditation, therefore is a prerequisite or condition that assists spiritual seekers to have unbroken, undisturbed and continuous access with divinity and this experience is called yoga, another form of prayer.
Understanding And Overcoming Ego (cont.)

To conquer ego, humility and honesty are required. We need the courage to look into the self honestly and acknowledge that the characteristics of I know and I control exist and have to be removed, if there is to be truth and happiness inside. We need to remember the original I am e.g.
* I am a child of the Supreme Soul, similar to him in qualities and powers,
* I am the soul which is seated on the Supreme Being's (God's) heart throne,
* I am a knowledgeful soul,
* I am a blissful soul who gifts everyone with the treasure of happinessetc.

Through meditation and remembering the true I am (shared above), the pollution of the selfish ego is gradually replaced by the remembrance and the experience of the pure self: the I that is not attached to anything, or anyone, but is completely whole within itself. The expression of this pure entity is not selfish but selfless and the person begins to share with others, everything that he/she possesses - knowledge, specialities, talents, virtues etc. where necessary, facilitating the awakening of the true potential of others, just like sunlight. Light is a great facilitator. It steps in, awakens and then moves on. An egoless person acts, interacts and expresses themselves in this way.
Blessing: May you be free from any bondage of karma and with the balance of karma and yoga, experience the karmateet stage.

When there is the balance of karma and yoga, every action automatically brings you success. A karma yogi soul will never be trapped in the bondage of karma. One who is free from any bondage of karma is said to be karmateet. 'Karmateet' does not mean that you go beyond performing karma. Do not be detached from performing karma, but remain detached from being trapped in any bondage of karma. Through their own elevated actions, such karma yogi souls will enable the actions of others to become elevated. For them, every action will be entertainment and they will not experience anything to be difficult.

Slogan: God's love is the alarm clock which awakens you at amrit vela.

Positive Thoughts
To be free from blame and excuses is to get others' help too.
When I blame others for whatever has happened to me, I lose the chance for improvement. On the other hand, when I make effort to bring about a change, using that situation as a learning point for myself, I find others helping too. There is no negativity involved, but only a move towards a positive change. Today I will not blame anyone for whatever happened to me. I will find a way to deal with the situation, without blaming others or trying to escape by giving excuses. I would be able to courageously take on any situation that I would be faced with.
Create Peace
Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always do what you have
always done, you will always get what you have always got. If you
always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a
new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you
will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a
world of peace around you.
Understanding And Overcoming Ego

Identification with the ego and the external self creates a false identity and extremes of feeling inferior, or superior, depending on the circumstances and people. It brings with it the thought of I am, which is based on gender, religion, nationality, achievement or talent, creating an attachment to the self, which always compares and competes with others. This insecurity leads a person into forcing others to act and think in the same way as them. An egoistic person, rather than recognizing that everyone is unique with a unique personality and has a right to express his/her respective personality, sees difference in personalities as a threat to himself/herself.

Where there is such ego, only yes people (who have the same opinion as yours) are allowed to come close: anyone with a difference of opinion is rejected. With ego, the original uniqueness of the self is denied, unrecognized and buried deep in the layers of wrong identity. This is why, these days, there is such an identity crisis - humanity has lost its soul, or rather, sold its soul to external traditions and attractions.

With ego, then: is the idea of I know best and consequently the misunderstood duty and right to control and manipulate others, in their best interests (supposedly)! This results in the spoiling of the creativity and uniqueness of others.

Blessing: May you be a spiritual rose who constantly maintains your spiritual stage and see others as souls.
A spiritual rose means one who constantly has spiritual fragrance. Wherever and whomever one with spiritual fragrance looks at, that one will only see the soul and not the body. So constantly maintain your spiritual stage and, when looking at others, see at the soul. Just as the Father is the Highest on High, so, too, His garden is the highest on high and the special decoration of that garden are the roses, you children. Your spiritual fragrance will benefit many souls.

Slogan: If you give happiness to anyone while breaking any code of conduct that will accumulate in your account of sorrow.

Positive Thoughts & the Different Names of God:

 
The Different Names of God
There are as many names for the Supreme as there are languages, and each one is accurate in that each one conveys a special meaning or quality. The one name that carries out a multitude of meanings, a whole world of significance, is the Sanskrit name “Shiva”. The word Shiva has three specific meanings: Shiva means the Benefactor, the point and it also means the seed.

The Lord of the world, the Lord of the immortal souls, the Bestower of liberation and the Destroyer of sins is the One Supreme Soul. Everywhere in Bharat, from Srinagar in the North to Kanya Kumari in the South, images of this form that Shiva has, are found installed; these images are without face
or ears or feet or body which fact clearly points out that it is the Symbol
of an incorporeal Being. At one place, it is called ‘Vishwanath’(meaning
the Lord of the Universe), at another ‘Amarnath’(the Father of souls),
at a third place it is named Mukteshwara (the Bestower of Liberation)
and it bears the name Papkateshwara (meaning the Expiator of sins)
at a fourth place. All these names prove that these images represent
the Divine Form of God. He is God of all Deities, and, being Rama’s God, is rightly remembered as Rameshwara. Being Krishna’s Lord, His memory as Gopeshwara is preserved in a town called Vrindavan, by means of an idol, called ‘Gopeshwara’.
The temple of Amarnath, Rameshwaram and Gopeshwara etc. are indicative of the fact that God Shiva is the Creater and the Over-Lord of these also. The Black-Stone, called Sang-e- Aswad in the Mecca also is a symbol of God Shiva. Even these days, Muslims who go to Mecca for a Haj (pilgrimage), kiss this holy stone. Though the Muslims do not worship any idols yet they do
not know why this image or idol stands there and is held to be sacred or
worship-worthy. Some Buddhists in Japan concentrate their mind on a stone of this shape. Christ and Nanak also say that God is light. All this shows
that God is Self-Luminous point.

Positive Thoughts
To be an example is to inspire people to change.
It is not always necessary to correct people through words. When my own actions don't reflect the words that I speak, it will not have any effect on people. They would want to see the change that I talk about in my own actions. Since actions speak louder than words, they are inspired to bring about a change in themselves too. Today I will be an example for others in whatever I do. I will check myself when I find the need to correct someone. I will bring about a change in that particular aspect. Then, whether I see the desired change in the other person or not, at least I am richer for whatever effort I make.
Trust
When we are working together, we need to trust those working with us by
seeing their capabilities and using them too. This will naturally
create a healthy environment here everyone is working together as a
team. One thought that would help us in practical situations to work as
a team is to have trust in the ones we are working with. When we are
able to trust, we are able to create a positive environment where
everyone is able to express his or her best potential. The task would
be successful and there would be benefit and personal growth for
everyone working in the team.
Balance Between Masculine and Feminine Qualities

These are some examples of masculine and feminine qualities:

Masculine
Logical, Verbal, Brave, Enthusiastic, Enterprising, Flexible, Creative, Responsible, Self-confident, Jovial, Detached

Feminine
Intuitive, Silent, Affectionate, Serene (Peaceful), Patient, Tolerant, Inspiring, Optimistic, Resistant, Mature, Sweet

Opening up to the spiritual consciousness (or the consciousness of the soul) makes the masculine and feminine qualities emerge from our inner selves. As we become more conscious and attentive, we come across a balance between masculine and feminine qualities, achieving greater harmony in our lives and in our relationships. When we are only aware of the physical form, a part of our being may remain hidden. For example, if a man only identifies with his masculine form (I am a man), his feminine qualities do not develop. In the same way, many women have not developed their masculine qualities due to the thought: "I am (only) a woman". E.g. in a family where the father is often absent and cannot provide his support for long periods of time, the role of the mother takes on another broader dimension. She can make the masculine qualities emerge, combining authority and bravery with her more feminine aspects.

Addiction to relationships, in other words, the dependency on other people, is to a large extent due to an imbalance of masculine and feminine qualities in our inner selves. The main reason why this happens is that we do not develop the qualities that we are missing internally and we seek the company of others who have these qualities. We try to compensate for our weaknesses and fill our defects by taking what we are missing, from other people, thus becoming dependent on them.
Blessing: May you be free from obstacles and become victorious over obstacles by considering them to be a game of entertainment.
It is a good thing for obstacles to come, but you should not be defeated by them. Obstacles come to make you strong. Therefore, instead of becoming afraid of them, consider them to be a game of entertainment and overcome them and you would then be said to be free from obstacles and victorious. You have the company of the Almighty Authority Father and so there is nothing to be afraid of. Simply remain busy in remembrance of the Father and in service and you will remain free from obstacles. It is when your intellect is free that obstacles and Maya come. Remain busy and Maya and obstacles will then step away from you.
Slogan: In order to accumulate an account of happiness, give everyone happiness from your heart according to the code of conduct.

Positive Thoughts & God is One

God is One

All religions have images, idols or memorials, bearing one name or another, to represent the form of the Light of God. Christ, the founder of Christianity said, “God is Light.” Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism also sang the praise of Him who is `All- Light’ and is incorporeal. The followers of Islam in Mecca, call this image “Sang-e-Aswad”. People of Bharat call it `Meccaeshwara’. In the olden days, the Jews held a stone of this shape in their hands while taking a solemn oath and it is also believed that Moses had vision of this form of God when he saw a Flame behind the bush.

He is Nirakãr and all-effulgent (Jyoti-Swarupa).

What is regarded as `Nirakar’ is so only by comparison with objects having gross or subtle physical form. Beings that have a gross body as men and women do are known as `Sãkãr’ or `corporeal’ beings. The deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar who are eternal, i.e., who have a self-luminous or an angelic body are, called Sukshmãkari’ i.e. Subtle, Angelic or Astral in form. Shiva, the Incorporeal Being is such a soul that has neither a gross nor a subtle body, and, is therefore, relatively called `Nirãkãr’.So, Nirãkãr is one who does not have the physical form or one who has no outline as of a body. In English, the equivalent of the word `Nirãkãr’is `incorporeal’ or `non-anthropomorphic’, i.e., one who does not have the form of a human body


God has His own imperishable form, which is a point-of-Light, who’s gross and enlarged representation is Shiva-Linga. When a lamp is lighted or a candle is burning, the form of the flame or the light emitted is like that of an egg, i.e. Shiva Linga. Even so, God is a Divine Flame; He has a form which is subtler than the subtlest. We cannot see it with the physical eye. It needs the divine eye to see it. All seeds and eggs, i.e., all the ‘creators’ also have oval forms. So, God, who is the Creator or the conscient Seed of this Human World-Tree, also has an extremely subtle and minute, seed-like form, i.e., He is an oval point of Light.

Positive Thoughts
To finish the burden of the past is to move forward with lightness and speed.
Throughout the day, I may not have that much attention on myself. I may not be able to sustain a thought that I had taken for myself. But before I go to sleep, I need to check myself how I was throughout the day. I need to clear out all my fears and feelings and then go to bed. This practice will make my sleep peaceful and the next day will be beautiful too, because there is no burden of the baggage of the previous day. Today I will talk to myself and God before I go to sleep. I will write down all my doubts, fears and feelings. I will become light in my mind and go to sleep peacefully. Because I will, then, look forward to a brighter tomorrow.
See Specialties
Trust is more based on our perception of people rather than just their
behavior. When we have the habit of seeing specialties in each and
every person, we are able to create space for the use of these
specialties. This automatically reflects our trust in them. Let us make
a firm practice of seeing at least one positive aspect in each and
every person we come into contact with. Then we will be able to use
this specialty in a practical way and help the other person also to use
this specialty. In this way, we will be able to increase his capability
and our trust in him.
Identify The Filters In Your Life

Like different types and different colour filters on a physical level; on a spiritual level, there are many different types of filters that work in our lives e.g. the jealousy filter, hatred filter, attachment filter, fear filter, greed filter, etc. and many more. Due to these filters, we do not see people and things as they are, but as we are, because the filters are our own self-created ones. If we want to see people and things as they are, we need to check which filters are working most in our lives. Each one of us has different filters working to different extents, depending on our personality e.g. someone might have the jealousy filter working more regularly as compared to the fear filter in his/her life.

Because of these filters, everything that we see is not only coloured by the colour of the filter we are using at that time, but our look is also biasedas we choose what to see, what to give more importance, what to be affected by more, what to let through the filter etc. and what not to. We have and form a deceptive vision of the things and people that surround us inside our minds. And the longer this deformed vision lasts, the more we will convince ourself that that is the true image of the world, because our filters continue to process new data depending on what they see that make the image stronger. This reinforcing of the incorrect image builds up our database of incorrect beliefs based on different filters and makes them stronger and stronger as we go through our life journey. Beliefs are fixed ways of looking at reality. Thus, the world that we perceive is no longer the real world, but a world created by our own mind. So in a way we become deaf and blind on a spiritual level towards the world. To heal this deafness and blindness, we do not have to remove each filter one after the other, which may become a difficult task; but we have to discover the pure, original internal self and start seeing everything without the filters, based on the pure-self point of view. As a result of that, gradually our incorrect beliefs start dissolving and correct beliefs start setting in based on our clean unfiltered view.
Blessing: May you be a destroyer of obstacles who remains stable in the point form and who also reminds others of the point (dot) of the drama.
Children who never have any question marks about anything, who always remain stable in the point form and who remind others of the point of the drama are said to be destroyers of obstacles. They make others powerful and take them closer to the destination of success. They do not become happy on seeing the attainment of any limited happiness, but are embodiments of unlimited success. They are constantly stable and stabilised in one elevated stage. With their own stage of success, they are able to transform failure.


Slogan: Give blessings and receive blessings and you will quickly become a conqueror of Maya.
