Rumi on Poison

One of my favourite reminders. Loved the representation of it.

 

 

What is Poison?
He replied with a beautiful answer – Anything which is more than our necessity is Poison. It may be Power, Wealth, Hunger, Ego, Greed, Laziness, Love, Ambition, Hate or anything

What is fear…..?
Non-acceptance of uncertainty.
If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes adventure…!

What is envy?
Non-acceptance of good in others. If we accept that good, it becomes inspiration…!

What is Anger?
Non-acceptance of things which are beyond our control.
If we accept, it becomes tolerance…!

What is hatred?
Non-acceptance of a person as he is. If we accept person unconditionally, it becomes love…!

10 Rules of Being Human

 

10 Super Rules of Being a Human. Ever heard of the expression “RTFM“? Well, here it is, the Manual of Human Life.

 

 

Tenth Rule as below

1. You Will Receive a Body
You may like it or hate it, but it’s the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.

2. You Will Learn Lessons
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called ‘Life on Planet Earth.’ Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.

3. There are No Mistakes, Only Lessons
Growth is a process of experimentation. ‘Failures’ are as much a part of the process as ‘success.’

4. A lesson is Repeated Until Learned
It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it – then you can go on to the next lesson.

5. ‘There’ is No Better Than ‘Here’
When your ‘there’ becomes a ‘here’ you will simply obtain another ‘there’ that again looks better than ‘here.’

6. Others Are Only Mirrors of You
You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.

7. What You Make of Your Life is Up to You

Every person creates his or her own reality. Imagine yourself at 90 years old, looking back at your life. What do you want to see?

8. You Always Get What You Want

Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract – therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.

9. Your Answers Lie Inside of You

All you need to do is to look inside, listen and trust yourself.

10. You Will Forget All of This at Birth

Somewhere along your journey from the spiritual world to the physical one, you simply forgot These Rules. But you can remember at any time.

Originally by Dr Cherie, definitely resonates with what Life is Truly About and what our Ancient Masters/Teachers/Guides/Gurus have always said.

These rules have been elaborated in her book If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules: Ten Rules for Being Human as Introduced in Chicken Soup for the Soul.

More than Material Help, Upgrading One’s Consciousness is Far Better

The one thing that will help to eliminate world suffering — more than money, houses, or any other material aid — is to meditate and transmit to others the divine consciousness of God that we feel. A thousand dictators could never destroy what I have within. Every day radiate His consciousness to others. Try to understand God’s plan for mankind — to draw all souls back to Himself — and work in harmony with His will.

The Healing Crisis

Superb Inspiration of understanding where crisis to body and mind comes from. It isn’t the way you generally think about it from a very medical perspective. “If a disease comes, it must be taken away, analyzed, dissected and finally discarded”, medical world would say. See what Mr Bernard Jensen would. Beautiful!

You can also check out Bernad Jensen’s books on Amazon itself, an amazing amount of natural knowledge disseminated in a consumable way.

 

 

 

 

The Four Levels of Eating

Here are 4 levels we eat at. It isn’t eating only, but also the way we consume and react/respond to energy outside of us. Energy = people, places, situations,etc. Food is just an indicator of our own selves. If we want to be calm or are generally calm, we’d automatically choose that kind of energy or strive to maintain that kind of energy (calmness). So goes for those who are aggressive, angry, depressed, etc. “Like attracts Like”.

This wonderful 4 levels of eating awareness are by Dr. Ed Bauman. Do check out his website for more details. Also, The Health Awareness Centre (Mumbai, India) does the same and much more. Check THAC out for holistic awareness from a food, personal, emotional, mental and ecological stand point.
