Macrobiotic Life

From a very interesting article (ofcourse I recommend to read, but be aware, extraterestrial beings are discussed there and it will challenge your beliefs! but at the end, it’s about the same thing again – The Law of One – Oneness – We are Spirits having bodily experience, not the opposite) – Return to Harmony.

Some basic stuff that’s important to remember every day, well written:

As we become aware that what happens in the world without is a result of the person we are within, true reality becomes available to us. We can start to deal with causes instead of effects; instead of dressing and re-addressing symptoms, we can focus attention and energy to bring about a lasting cure. We can start to appreciate that we are not subject to the whim of some capricious set of circumstances; we are not the hapless playthings of some whimsical gods. We are powerful and accomplished creators of our own destiny. We are only victims if we choose to be.

We start to take control of our life, our growth, our progress. Yes, there are still challenges to face and mountains to climb, but we are more confident when we can rationalise what is happening and why it is happening – for us rather than to us.

For far too long we have been tricked into relying on governments for secular matters, and the ‘church’ for our ‘spiritual’ growth, and then complain bitterly at the control and limitation they impose upon us: in fact, we have surrended ourselves to them. They have no influence over us that we do not allow.

The reality is: the whole purpose of our lives is to take responsibility for ourselves. A certain amount of courage is required to abandon the comfort zone excuse of being able to lay responsibility at ‘someone else’s’ door, but with this awakening comes a freedom, and a peace of mind, a sense of self-esteem and a quiet satisfaction with ourselves. We become comfortable , and confident, in our own skin.

…thankfully the indications are that consciously and unconsciously, more and more people are coming into their own realisation of their power, and the desire for a better quality of human interaction is bubbling to the surface. As we actively pursue this goal, we shall soon reach a critical mass where the momentum of our seeking generates an irresistible demand.

This text has enormous wisdom for me, and I highly recommend to read the whole book, which I take it from – Thought Power / How to Control Thoughts. It’s an older yogi text. You can read there a very detailed description of the power of the mind and how the thoughts, imaginations, habits, actions, destiny, man’s character do work. We live in a big illusion. All the material things are just manifestations of our thoughts – even our body, our life, heaven & hell, we project everything and we are unconsciously believing in all these projections. But the Way to Change is known to us. Read this short excerpt for yourself:

The nature of things around you is as you think it to be. Your life is what you make it by your thoughts. Thoughts are the bricks by which you have built the building of your personality. Thought determines destiny. The world around you is the reflex of your thoughts.

You experience as you think. Your own imagination plays havoc with you. You have made yourself timid by entertaining the thoughts of fear. Do not become liberal in imagination.

You are affected by things only in accordance with your idea about them. The mind sees value only in that in which it has intense faith. Though all of you see the same object, everyone of you attach to it different values. According to your mental propensities you think.

Thought is a creative instrument, and man becomes what he thinks upon. Character is thought-formed. You are born with what you have thought upon, and your present character is an index of your previous thoughts. You create your future by your thoughts now; if you think nobly, you will be noble in conduct. If you think basely no environment will make you different. Thus, thoughts and actions are interdependent. Be vigilant and allow only good thoughts in your mental field.

Every one of you have a different conception of duty, value, enjoyment and liberation in accordance with your different convictions. You strive after your own ideal.

You work in accordance with your long-standing and intensified thought and belief. You accomplish and achieve the object of your own desire. Do not let your mind become denser and denser by allowing it to be engrossed in gross forms. Follow the abstractive process by cherishing the thoughts of virtue.

Your present life has three aspects, physical, mental and spiritual. You are tenaciously attached to the physical aspect. Be above physical sensations and other appetites by cherishing the thoughts that you are not body alone, that you are residing in the temple of a body for a short period only. Be above mental titillations. Subjective action functions in the world of thought.

Send out a steady stream of thought and good-will to all creation. The energising motive behind every thought should be service and friendliness.

Your mind is omnipotent. It is capable of accomplishing everything. As you imagine within your mind, so things happen forthwith. Whatever is intensely thought by your mind, that comes to be materialized and effected.

Your thought is endowed with creative power. It can evolve objects from within itself. It is the only creator. Nothing ever will be created or recreated except through mind. Thought is the material out of which things are made. All matter is but materialization of consciousness.

No other being is responsible for what you acquire, as everything is the consequence of your thought. The cause of whatever comes to you in life, is within you. No other agency can bestow favours on you, unless you deserve them. Whatever you get through others, is the outcome of your own thoughts and efforts. There is nothing in the world which you cannot achieve, when your thoughts are flowing in the right direction. You should neither become a pessimist nor a misanthrope.

Creative power is the privilege of every mind. Your own efforts guided by your aspiration are the warp and woof of your destiny. Do not possess a dissipated mind by cherishing weak thoughts. Superficial mind cannot acquire depth of insight.

Control the roving mind by entertaining one flow of thought. All that is intensely thought by you, will come to you early or late, in accordance with the effort you have put in to acquire it.

The extent of space as well as the duration of time are relative to your thoughts and emotions. You experience as you think. If a moment is imagined to be a long period, it is experienced as such and vice versa. The same period of time is experienced as a long age when you are in trouble, and as a moment when you are happy.

You are surrounded by the forces of antagonism. But if there are no thoughts of antagonism in you, you can easily return a blessing for a curse. Thus you can control all the forces of antagonism. Struggle hard and check the unwanted mental rush.

The world around you is only what you believe it to be. Your perceptions are coloured by your thoughts. Your mind perceives and continues to perceive the things in that very form in which it imagines it to be with full faith. Pierce through the steel-armour of biased thoughts, and try to see the divinity in every object.

It is by thought alone that you get into delusion, undergo the experience of birth and death, are bound in the world and become released from it.

All your states of happiness or misery in heaven or hell, are effects of your own thoughts. Early or late, in this life or lives to come, all your passing thoughts will be realized. So, discriminate nicely.

Your present state has been willed by your thoughts. You can change the present state into another by your own thoughts. If you believe that you are separate from the Absolute, you are so. If you think yourself to be Brahman you are so. You limit yourself by your thoughts.

With each divine thought, the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and finite and comes out into eternity, but you are so negligent about your mental factory.

When you are in a bad mood, realise when the bad mood started and what Agreement caused it. What Agreement* do you hold, that started this unpleasure mood, that caused your fears or whatever. Think about this Agreement. Realise how ridiculously stupid this Agreement is. Why do you hold such an Agreement that weakens you, takes you energy, takes fun from your Life? All your Agreements are your choice. You are the Master of your Dream. Don’t believe anybody, don’t believe yourself (about your Agreements) – you are domesticated as everybody else, you believe in a collective dream, which is very poor, very limiting dream. Decide for a new Agreement, that empowers you, that gives you unlimited energy, unlimited potential. You don’t need to despair, you don’t need to fear, feel depressive. You can choose a new way of thinking, of looking at the reality. You are capable of everything, don’t limit yourself, unleash all your inner potential. Be God, be Unlimited Love! Arise, Awake, Shape your Reality! Create your Dream! Have Fun and empower all people – send this energy thousand times – the more you share, the more you get! ))
