On one hand we talk about self respect and then we go ahead and abuse our body (by eating unhealthy, no exercise, too much laptop/mobile/TV, etc. :)
I did feel the same way when I received my sketch from you Laurie.
I was taken aback as I was expecting a/my spirit guide or loved one to come through but when I saw the sketch of my own probable past life, I didn't know what to do with it. :) But with this newsletter post of yours now I know. Maybe I will explore further on what this sketch of mine is all about. It sounds interesting. And of course to understand the impact of past lives and to work on changing energy that would be amazing. If you wish to read Laurie Regan's article go here -- http://maitreya.co/articles/past-life-regressions/ Quite often Laurie has giveaways on her FB page if you wish to check it out. Creativity, I have suddenly realized, is so important.
I say suddenly because it has hit me out of the blue, in my life few days ago - that creativity is needed to enjoy life. Until now I took creativity for granted, I guess. But suddenly it has taken an important meaning. Here, by "creativity" I don't mean by "doing/learning arts of a specific kind". I mean just doing mundane things with more fervor, with an individuality that is only me. Creativity brings hope. Creativity generates enthusiasm, enthusiasm for life. It induces to do things without expectations, with no worries about the end result. It generates joy for no reason, a lightness in self and a hope for the future. Such a thought of happiness would eventually spiral into a chain of abundant thoughts - Good Sign ! :) As opposed to this, there is depression, despair and those set of chain reactions. Hence its good to remind oneself of living creatively and to create more hope drop by drop daily. Afterthoughts - But in being spiritual, hope probably doesn't mean too much ! There is something greater than hope and that is faith. Not blind faith but a KNOWING kind of faith. KNOWING which is higher than hope and faith, brings in a silent peace and satisfaction. It is a space of no-rush, non-anxiety, only silent anticipation. I don’t know where to start. I am confused.
Reading your article dear Dennis Dossett today has brought up a few questions in my mind. Sorry to say but some of these are technical questions. And by my asking these questions loud, you don’t need to feel obligated to answer them :) The confusion was caused due to certain statements - "God is the doer" and "What thoughts will you think through me today, Lord?". The question that arose in my mind was "Aren't thoughts auto-generated?" because I know that I am unable to control my thoughts least of all generate them. I was having the understanding that these thoughts are due to our past life karmas or mental/causal bodies that we have carried forward and only when we clear/clean the karmas and the mental & causal bodies will we be able to "have" (not generate) better thoughts. So in such a case, isn't it primarily "us" who are actually responsible for our created thoughts. I am confused by the statement - God the doer! Then there is further confusion by the answer - “Only what you allow me to.” What does that mean? How can God or someone else be responsible for our thoughts? Most importantly how to get answers to our pertinent questions? Does this all mean that by regularly studying spiritual science , by practicing living in the present moment , we can be in the higher-self more often or simply be discretional of which actions to take based on the myriad less productive thoughts and choose only the thoughts that are for our highest good?? By choosing the higher productive thoughts , this would eventually bring in the much needed peace of mind, enthusiasm/enjoyment, fulfillment and eventually allow us to live "creatively" like GOD - a creator, Creating ! Afterthoughts - I do still have a tiny question here - But why do we need to do all this? What is the purpose of all this "creating" business !?
