Let’s Celebrate!

LET’S CELEBRATE!

Why not celebrate life today? 

How you feel is what makes your life good or bad. Why make your life so awful just because you don’t feel good. When your energetic vibration is low, you don’t feel quite right. Do not ignore that. Raise the vibration and your body will feel good, vibrant, alive. Never mind how much money you’ve got in the bank, if your body doesn’t feel quite right, you don’t feel good. Have you noticed that when you’re in love everything is perfect, whether or not you have money or all the other worldly trimmings?  So love and other elevated emotions affect how we view our life.

How you feel is your reality. If you don’t feel it, it’s not real. Somebody says I really love you, but if you don’t feel it then it’s not real to you. You tell somebody I really love you, but you do not feel it, it is not real.

Are you happy and content at this moment? If not you can pretend to be happy, so eventually it becomes a habit. Fake it before you make it. It works! What make you happy is a very philosophical question as well as very practical question. What makes me happy? So I’m one of the most simple persons you can meet. I sit quietly, that makes me happy. Maturity helps of course.  When I was young, I noticed I had a lot of needs, wants and ambition. I spent a lot of energy pursuing it, but something was not fulfilled yet, I was not content and so then I had to seek deeper. That was the precursor of my spiritual quest.  But it was quite intense. Not only curiosity. It was something very deeply urging me to searching the meaning of life. Not out of curiosity, but desperation.

ELEVATED EMOTION

The word love is overused and not fully understood by the majority of people who believe it is about someone you  love or someone who loves you . True love  cannot be explained  – you have to experience it. Having experienced it I then realised  that this was what I was to pursue – Love as the wisdom and beauty of Life. It speaks to me. Since then I know I am never alone in the Universe. I  am part of it.

Most people don’t know that sense of belonging, and  perhaps because of that, have a fear of death, of loss, fear of ageing, fear of losing their loved one, fear of losing their money. Meaning that deep down they are afraid of everybody and afraid of everything. It does takes time and some practice to transcend this human habitual existence of fear, anger, I like it, I don’t like it,  and it all being about  ME. To do so, you have to be conscious, awake, aware. 

You can observe the emotions of yourself and others. But then when you’re in your very natural state of existence or being-ness you cannot really say you have any emotion. Rather you have joy and a sense of freedom that can’t really be experienced  any other way. It is a sense of belonging that can’t be fulfilled through another human being.

KNOW YOURSELF

Until you truly know yourself, how can you know another human being? Likewise, no-one really understands you, or knows you, because they don’t know themselves either. When you don’t know who you are, you become artificial and believe you are your job, or the husband, the mother. Fortunately we  can change our identities. You can redefine who you are. Your past identity is not you. Change those aspects of your personality you do not like, or wish to improve.

YOUR TRUE NATURE

Your soul, your natural state of being cannot be changed. When you start to become aware of your eternal essence,  it seems very much like a flickering candle flame which needs protecting. However, you have to be conscious  to protect it. The potential of that candle flame is that it can become a blazing star. But it can also be obscured by your body, your emotions and your mind.

THE TIMELESS STATE

In a deep meditative state, you notice you are actually energy, and in that moment you have a taste of eternity. To experience the timeless state in deep meditation, you start to realise it’s there always. Within that eternal moment is your and everybody’s infinite potentiality. Here, you create your future now. This is celebrating Life. When you do not have your usual human emotion what have you got? Peace. Silence and stillness, but it is not nothingness. It’s the vast ocean of life. Within it you create.

Thankfully there is one cheap option for getting the medicine you may buying viagra in usa check out here have to register the name of you through websites. ordine cialis on line Liver Liver is an exceptional origin of glutamine, which is vital for your invulnerable framework to method.

In that stillness and peace you start to notice the love of what some call God. What does it mean?  You want more. You just want to experience more. You will sacrifice everything you know of just to stay there. No wonder ancient masters talk about transcending the world. It’s a transcendent, not really human, emotion.

Is it really possible? Yes. But while you continue to seek security in this chaotic world, it is never there. That’s the reason why you are constantly adjusting this and that. How can I feel safe? How can I feel better? How can I improve myself? How can I lock my door tighter? You can not trust life. Your mind cannot be free.

Having found that divine love, does that mean that I don’t have to be concerned about all of that? No-it’s included. That’s the beauty of life. On  your head, every single strand of hair is being accounted for. Suddenly you feel so safe, so warm and then you can relax … you realise you don’t really have a lot of needs and wants.

What is left? Wholeness. You feel so whole. Then follows the impulse to give, to share and to help. How can  you do it?  Is it possible? It is not only possible, it is a necessity. It is our universal journey, from hell to heaven, from fear to love, from a sense of inadequacy to feeling whole and complete. A human journey and then a soul journey.

Experience your natural goodness, and at that moment you celebrate life. To understand yourself is to understand all human beings, and also their suffering. With understanding comes compassion.

COMPASSION

The presence of Divine, or Universal compassion melts all pain. Our core being has that capacity. Guan Yin and Mother Mary represent the universal manifestation of that capacity.  When you can connect with that quality, you can transcend all known human pain. After you melt the suffering or pain, the natural beauty of life unfolds. I am not really talking about the beauty of a the flower or the sunrise and sunset or piece of music, it’s beyond that. Yet sunrise, sunset, a beautiful piece of music and somebody’s innocent smile to you, do remind you of the primordial beauty within yourself. It is a connection to the entire universe and starts at the heart. This has to expand to be able to transform all the turbulence in the mind and also your emotional state.

Compassion is one side of the coin you call universal Love. The other side of that coin is Joy. When the pain is melted, we are joining with Life. How can you get to that point?  You do need some skilful means. One of the classic ways is through meditation. The mind has to be still , the energetic vibration raised, to get in touch with your soul.  Then you are connected in the unified field. Everything is connected, you feel so good. At that moment, you just have to create. In the field there is no negative programme to sabotage your dreams and goals. Everything is possible. Experience it here, as though it already happened.

This is your life. You should celebrate it every day. In a Course in Miracles, it describes you are the co-creator with God. If you don’t utilise terminology like this, then you can just say that Life manifests through you. Safeguard your mind though, because it is a powerful creating mechanism- to create or to mis-create.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

If you can, meditate every day to still the mind and to connect to your true self. This will protect your mind from negative thoughts that sabotage your happiness and obscure the joy that you are. Think of meditation as a way of celebrating your life. But if you can’t meditate, then count your blessings. I do it every night. Every night before I go to sleep I say thank you. Also, I’m a good student. We are all here to learn so I here learn my lesson. At night I look back on my day – my joy, my challenge, my irritation.  I change it on the spot before I go to sleep. The most powerful one is ‘thank you’. Then the rewarding one, it is ‘I learned my lesson.’ How do you learn your lesson? You learn to respond differently. If you have this capacity you do it again, again, again. Reflect on what is the lesson to be learned, feel the pain of it, and release it. Release the emotion and let go of the thought.  Then ask yourself how can you  you do better next time.

 As you learn the lesson, so you transform. This transformation is as from a candle light to eventually becoming a sun and a star. Learn the human, worldly lesson, and the greater lesson. Don’t deny your human-ness, don’t deny your soul. Eventually they align – your  character and your kindness align with the beauty and grace of your true self.  Everyday you can celebrate life.  You wake up with a purpose. You go to sleep with a purpose. You realise that your life is more than to survive and to identify yourself with somebody you are not. The reward is joy and happiness.

To celebrate Life is to recognise its preciousness, wonderment , beauty and creativity. And knowing that you are a part of it, and feeling the aliveness within and without. So let us celebrate this state of being in every moment.
