Life
So many ask the question
What is life all about?
Does it have deeper meaning?
Why is it filled with such doubt?
So
many of us are like salmon
Against the current, we’re swimming
up stream
So seldom trusting the process
As we lose sight of our dream
Why
do some of us suffer?
Such pain, that it does not seem fair
We fumble around in the darkness
Our “worryless” days seem
so rare
|
Is
our “life map” sketched
out before us?
Do we draw it as we move along?
One of the things that we’ve
learnt though
In this life we have to be strong
Do we savour each moment?
Would we have regrets if we died?
When asked if WE gave our lives meaning
Could we really say that we tried?
Are
there some changes we’re needing?
As our life flashes past us each day
Can we say with real pride, that
We’re happy, we live life our
way?
To
know that this life’s for the
living
With new passion to face it head on
To know we have only one chance here
Live life now, before it is gone!! |
Why
Does Evil Exist? |

Is
God Good?
by David
Ash |
So
why does evil exist? Why is there
so much evil in the world? Why would
the god of this world be Satan? Why
is Satan evil?
Accounting for evil has been one of
the greatest philosophical challenges
in human history. Some people stick
their heads in the sand and try to
pretend there is no evil. Others accept
the traditional religious view that
there was a rebellion in heavens and
now there are evil spirits that have
turned against God causing a battle
between good and evil. My view on
the matter is different.
I believe everything in the Universe
is perfect and everything happens
for a purpose and because evil exists;
that includes evil. I contend there
is a divine purpose for evil and that
it is as important in the evolution
of humanity as good. I believe good
and evil are two sides of the same
coin; they are opposite but essential
aspects of the same God....

What is love? |

"The
following comments are from students
in a seminar when asked what love
is to them?" Maybe you can find
something you relate to, or write
Dr.
Deri and let her know your own
perception on... !"
What
LOVE IS:
- Space
to be and let be. Caring for one
another and sharing; accepting as
well as giving and experiencing
one another.
- What
you share of yourself with another
in a caring, growing, unfolding
space; being open to receive; unconditional
acceptance, ever-growing and changing.
- Love
can only be given, not earned, deserved,
bought, or swapped for. When I enter
a relationship, I am willing to
love. The return is up to the other
party.
- Unconditional
acceptance of another person to
explore his/her own self-growth.
It includes trust, sharing, intimacy
and commitment on an equal basis.
- Open
and truthful communication with
“trusting” each other
as the most important quality in
a man/woman relationship.
- A
desire to give and receive good
things; to give to one’s self.
- My
own awareness of how much I care
for another person. It involves
my acceptance of the other person
and what I am willing to sacrifice
to maintain that relationship.
- When
a couple can support and care for
each other unconditionally, while
allowing each to be themselves.
Allowing your partner to be who
they are and accepting them. Putting
him or her first as in caring. Loving
that person as you love God. Allows
for and encourages the other’s
growth.
- Loving
the other person when it is not
returned.
- Caring
as much about someone else as I
do about myself; seeing someone
for who they really are, and not
trying to change them.
It’s
important to examine a multitude of
definitions on this complex issue...

How
can we achieve a greater level of self awareness

Achieving
a greater level of self awareness
through our habits
It becomes easier to understand how
our emotions work if we can understand
them as energy in motion or e-motions.
Just the same way that we send e-mails
across the world to connect with others,
so our e-motions convey our own energetic
make-up, both to ourselves and those
around us. We may be angry or fearful,
exuberant or sad, but each emotion
is like an energetic message that
creates our own energetic field. We
may e-migrate by moving to a different
place either physically or mentally.
If we find a TV program e-motive,
we would need to ask ourselves what
emotion that particular program moves
within ourselves. Which of our e-motions
does it evoke and in so doing, cause
an e-motional mirror of our own feelings?
Our emotions are constantly evolving
and moving us to change if we are
in tune with them...

How
do we make space for Wellness in our lives?

Make
time to reflect, and time to act
If there were two key lessons in my
wellness journey up to this point
(and certainly, in my organisational
journeys), they were these:
Don’t jump into solutions before
you understand the problem. In my
mind’s eye, I see myself as
a child in a garden when I think of
this – know what you want to
plant and why; consider the soil,
the sun, the plants that will be growing
around your plant; commit yourself
to nurturing it before you even start;
learn everything you can about your
plant – not just what you’d
typically find in a gardening book
– go further, and have fun –
what uses does it have, can you eat
it, does it have healing properties?
Stand back and see the bigger picture,
as it is, and as you imagine it could
be. Pick up rocks and look under them
carefully, hold them in your hands,
get your hands dirty, immerse yourself
in the moment, consider your options,
talk to other people about it, make
choices… think a few years ahead
– then think further; question
assumptions (your own and those others
make). Dream it, see it, feel it.
Too often, organisations seem to solve
problems before they fully understand
them. Perhaps it’s a need for
instant gratification; perhaps it’s
a reticence to look under rocks and
ask difficult questions; perhaps it’s
because work is structured such that
it’s hard to see the whole picture
and nigh impossible to change things
that lie beyond your ‘territory’.
Whatever it is, it’s wasteful
of opportunity, and akin to building
a house on shifting sands. Invest
in your foundations... |
Would you like to take part in the ascension

<"I
asked you a question? Do you want to
take part in the ascension process?">
She jumped off her chair as the adrenaline
surged through her bloodstream. Were
the words meant for her? Slowly she
sat down again, staring at the large
yellow letters on a blue screen.
<"Who are you?">
With trembling fingers she typed in
response, seeing to her amazement her
own text appearing underneath the question.
Someone must be playing a trick on her,
surely? Her phone line gave a dialling
tone when she checked, for her PC shared
the same line.
<"No. Nobody is playing
a trick on you. I asked a question!
And... I am you: a multidimensional
spiritual being".>
That remark! With whom was she...? Everyone
was working at their computers as if
things were normal. Well, things were,
but what was going on in her mind? Then
the text changed.
<"I am your mind.">
That stunned her! Who was reading her
mind?
<"Explain to me what you mean
by: my mind?"> Her own text
showed again underneath the large bold
text.
<"Your mind and the
mind of the collective mind are all
the same!">
<"Oh, sure! Meaning what?">
Her heart was pounding.
<"You live in an intelligent
and benevolent holographic universe.
Have you forgotten?">
What did that mean, holographic? Who
was this?... |

Our
inspirational mind might reply: "I
see tranguillity and calmness. There
is a special feeling that tells me
that the Ocean is submitting to the
will of the Sun at this time."...
The Vioce of inspiration replied:
That is true, for it is a
spectacle of Humility that is revealed
to humanity each day. Around you,
there are symbold of Humility that
must be recognized at all times. The
Ocean is so vast and powerfull. Yet
it bows to the Sun when the day ends.
It plays with the moon as the nightpasses.
At Sunrise it is invigorated, and
during the day the colours of the
Ocean dominates the scenery in everything
that surrounds it."
