It is important to start a new journey, a new habit,
a new personal dispensation only when the time
is right. Something started at an inauspicious time
faces much impediments which leads to failure
which eats away at one's resolve, one's belief in
oneself and in one's value system. And this sets one
back a little.
Vegetarianism was so important for me. I got started
finally yet at a time when it just did not work for me.
It failed; I felt I failed; desire grew anew, strengthened
and every inch given to desire once restrained makes
it strong a thousand fold.
So instead of just being vegetarian I am tussling with,
in a constant tug-of-war with the 'starting to be' phase.
So do not start on austerities when the time is not right
when it is doomed to failure from the start.
The next time it becomes that much harder...

Know that it is not my resolve, it is just not the right time
Rest in the KNOWING that I can surmount ANYTHING
When there is a need to I CAN DO IT.

We know this yet oft forget ...

Since everything is a reflection of our minds
everything can be changed by our minds.
~ Buddha ~

Gods, religions and wars

It seems that the religious texts are a manual for how events will
happen so as to realize the agenda of that religion's  Creator aka
Alien; adherents of that religion make sure what is "predicted" in
the text is followed through. So many religions, many agendas,
human puppets to make their religious stories real - war, mayhem,
beheading races, inter-racial war, famine (yes, the scientists create
the pestilence and let loose upon the world in accordance to religious
texts) to keep humanity on their knees praying to these alien beings.
And the working out of events on Earth is in keeping with some non-
physical plan they have for what they want on Earth and the process
seems to be through what is scripted in religious texts.
So these Creators' scripts is all about war, killings, pain and suffering.
How then can we say we want peace? How then, can we blame the
human beings who are manipulated for good or evil from above and
below?

Yet it seems that there are many who see something even more
momentous than these petty stories panning out ... something bigger
than the little creator gods...

Dare we believe .... ?

A little Shiva?

 

 

A reader said this to me ... to dive into the

pain... to feel deep into it till I break free

into bliss. A therapist told me she went

deep into her pain till she broke free of it.

Hmmm... I have experiened so much pain

with Anand's autism ... yes I wallowed in

it. Now I am just 'jaded' ... no break throughs,

just a tacit acceptance of that which is just

beyond explanation, a feeling of being a toy

in some higher beings' hands makes me livid!

 

 

 

 

Looking at ourselves in ways that we are unaccustomed to is not an
easy thing to do. But it is the key to emotional freedom...
