* THIS ISSUE'S ARTICLES *
Afflicted by Forces Unseen?
by David R. Hawkins M.D, Ph.D.
 We
may expect great transformations throughout human culture, as mankind
becomes more responsible for its knowledge, and thus its deeds. We've become
fully accountable, whether we like it or not. From this time forth, man may
choose to no longer be enslaved by darkness.
Antidote to Anger
by Ani Tenzin Palmo.
 We
have the strongest karmic connections with family members; therefore, we
have a great responsibility for developing our relationships with them. If
we cannot develop loving-kindness towards our family, why even talk about
other beings...
Balancing Spirituality & Success
 by
Robin Crow.
Your spiritual life should be reflected in the way you run your business,
the way you treat those with whom you work, and the way you treat your
competitors. Honor, honesty, and integrity are essential ingredients in
spiritual and material abundance.

DEAR
CHILD
|
|
Dear Child,
Do not be sad. Life is about changes.
Know that life evolves. It is ever changing and not
constant.
Celebrate the movement. Celebrate the changes. You can
not stop change. So why try and control it but rather be in the flow of
change and celebrate life.
All is well, Child of God.

INSPIRATIONAL
MESSAGE

Nudge the Balance
A 91-year-old woman died after
living a very long dignified life. When she met God, she asked Him something
that had really bothered her for a very long time. "If Man was created in
God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each
other so badly?"
God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to
teach us. It is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people
and our relationships with God. This confused the woman, so God began to
explain:
"When someone lies to you, it
teaches you that things are not always what they seem. The truth is often
far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to
know what is in their hearts. Remove your own masks to let people know who
you really are.
When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever.
Always appreciate what you have. You never know when you might lose it.
Never take your friends or family for granted, because today and sometimes
only this very moment is the only guarantee you may have.
When someone inflicts injury upon you, it teaches you that the human state
is a very fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best as you
can, it's the one thing that you are sure to have forever.
When someone mocks you, it teaches you that no two people are alike. When
you encounter people who are different from you, do not judge them by how
they look or act, instead base it on the contents of what is in their
hearts.
When someone breaks your heart, it teaches you that loving someone does
not always mean that the person will love you back. But don't turn your
back on love, because when you find the right person, the joy that one
person brings you will make up for all of your past hurts times a thousand
fold.
When someone holds a grudge against you, it teaches you that everyone
makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do
is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us
is often the most difficult and painful of life's experiences, but it is
also the most courageous thing a person can do.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that resisting
temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance
against all temptations. By doing so, you will be rewarded with an
enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by
which you were tempted.
When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all
evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may
be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with
achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.
When someone ridicules you, it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept
people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject
someone for imperfections over which they have no control."
Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom,
the old woman became concerned that there are no lessons to be learned from
man's good deeds. God replied that Man's capacity to love is the greatest
gift He has. At the root of kindness and love, and each act of love also
teaches us a lesson. The woman's curiosity deepened. God, once again began
to explain:
"When someone loves us, it
teaches us love, kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness,
acceptance, and all of these can counteract all the evil in the world. For
every good deed, there is one evil deed. Man alone has the power to
control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love
are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.
When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence,
consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson
of reality? When you die, will your life have resulted in more loving or
more hurting? More comfort or more pain? More joy or more sadness? Each
one of us has the power over the balance of the love in the world. Use it
wisely!"
Don't miss an opportunity to
nudge the world's scale in the right direction!
