All About You

I am just coming out of a 21 day meditation with Deepak & Oprah with the theme of Becoming Unstuck and do I ever feel wonderful.  Just sitting still for 10 or 20 minutes and listening to their thoughts and then meditating on their ideas is peaceful.  When I feel illuminated by their ideas then it is truly wonderful.  Sure enough, some days are better than others but what I realize is that taking this time daily is very important to keep my balance and my cool.

I began to write about my current ordeal on roofing but this is really for everyone to think about.  As Bilbo said “it’s a dangerous thing, stepping out your front door” added with “don’t throw stones in a glass house” so let me just say this; we can work very hard at meditating and improving ourselves but we must first and foremost sink our ego, our pride and our tempers.  Whenever we are tried we need to think like a professional at work, pause, don’t press the send button until you know you are in control of your emotions.  To use yet another proverb “you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar” and “a soft word turns away wrath”.

Does anyone know how to pass that message on to The Donald?

What I am really trying to say is that meditation is not only for daily use in 21 day spurts, it is for a lifetime and awareness of the centering thought for the day must be all day long.  There is no use in trying to improve one’s inner being unless we can radiate it outwards to our loved ones and beyond.  The words of Ramana Maharshi are appropriate here “Your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world”.

Amen to that.
