Trust Your Self

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

— Goethe

I didn't know he wrote like this!

"Love all God's creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love
every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love
each separate thing. If you love each thing, you will perceive the
mystery of God in all; and when once you perceive this, you will from that
time on grow every day to a fuller understanding of it until you come at
last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing
and universal."

~Feodor Dostoevski

Listen

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”


~Anne Sexton

"Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"

We should always live in the dark empty sky. The sky is always the sky. Even though clouds and lightning come, the sky is not disturbed. Even if the flashing of enlightenment comes, our practice forgets all about it. Then it is ready for another enlightenment.

- Shunryu Suzuki, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"

A Wonderful Opportunity

“When was the last time you embraced a situation that you didn't like? Did you complain through the entire experience or did you run away from the situation altogether? If you did either, you missed a wonderful opportunity to be something that you've never been before. It just might have been that one thing that you had been wishing for.”

~Les Brown

I Accept

I know that to be fully present in any situation benefits my soul’s evolution and I accept.

End of Semester

Aloha Boardies,

As I approach the last of this semester I am busy with final projects, papers and preparing for final exams. It is also my birthday month so I've been enjoying the gifts from my friends and clients, eating out, massage, party, pedicure...whew!Thank YOU!

So apologies for not posting more often to my blog and I really appreciate you for posting here... it is the fertilizer that keeps me coming back to sow and reap.

Much love
Rose

Spontaneous Acquiescence

The right attitude for studying the way is just complete spontaneous acquiescence. Who cares whether it takes twenty or thirty years; you'll be naturally at peace, without the slightest bit of doubt or confusion. How can there be any obstruction again after spontaneous acquiescence? How can anyone arrive by way of externals?

Affirmation

I think beyond what appears possible, and allow Divine Inspiration to guide my path.

Brightly Shining Mind

The brightly shining mind is never absent but is colored by the thoughts and emotions that people put upon it. If you were to see the luminous freedom of this mind, you would cultivate it before any other, keeping it free from all attachments.

Rose,

Just Curious

Hi Rose, I often experience dejavu's - had one when I met my husband. It felt like I traveled through a tunnel of time but time stood still. It wasn't a feeling of attraction as much as a feeling that I knew him already - like he was a really good friend - but I had never met him before. I honestly didn't think we would end of together but here we are 30+ years later. ;+) I have these experiences every so often, but can't make them happen. They just pop up at unexpected times. It's hard to put into words and even harder for people to believe - me included! So I was wondering, what your psychic experiences are like? How would you best describe them? Can't wait to hear about yours. Still keeping you in my prayers!

I love this one...

From contact comes feeling. From feeling comes reaction. This is what keeps us in the cycle of birth and death. Our reactions to our feelings are our passport to rebirth.

Research paper

Hello, Rose I am trying to write reserach paper, but I am not interested in the topic. I can not trust my supervisors. Do you think I can complete writing research paper and be sccessful in such a situation? Currently, I am doing Master's course, after that, should I do Ph.D? I am not young, so I am very feared for my future. At the moment, I am single and do not have any jobs. What is the best way for me? A.I 13November, 1971

Buddhism - On Sorrow

In the gloom and darkness of the night, when there is a sudden flash of light, a person will recognize objects; in the same way, the one with a flash of insight sees according to reality--"This is how sorrow works; this is how it arises; this is how it can come to an end; this is the path leading to that end."

- Anguttara Nikaya

Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.
