Mental Breakthrough

Peace

It feels weird to write something, as if it somehow used to feel natural before. Anyhows whenever I feel that I have burnt myself out due to work or other responsibilities or just have lots in my mind and need to clear it and cant find a space to do so I usually book a flight somewhere far. I know but thats what it takes for me to figure things out and zome out and see the whole picture or just have a break. I recently visited a place were I used to call home 11 years ago. I was not able to understand how hostile the place had become. I mean it must be difficult to live in an environment which reminds you constantly of how different you are to the rest of the society but also for the society to judge you before even knowing anything about you, this sort of feeling only creates mental blockage/barriers for the one who is different which is so unhealthy. Sometimes I just wounder why people make situations complicated which is not, like simple maths, why is it difficult to understand the fact that we share the world with different groups of people each with its unique culture, tradition, religion, who happen to be scattered around in different places in which it was pre-destined. But the beuty of it all is that we people migrate, and when we do we end up crossing over to different places, to groups different from our own and instead of being fearfull,unwelcoming, hatefull all of these really unattractive qualities we could open up minds and see that different means opportunity to learn,learn who we share this huge home called earth contains and maybe thats an opportunity for cohesion and not hostility........

I really hope I have made sence and made my point as it came from deep inside

Greatest Miracle of all times!!!

just wanted to drop some lines down nothing lengthy. I have recently been consumed by a dear person's pregnancy and it kind of feels like I have been living the experience with her. Asking questions,observing and feeling what the person is feeling has maybe just given me a glimpse of experience of the trials a pregnancy can offer. I first of all have to take my hat of to all mum out there, may God bless you for what you fo through for 9 whole months. Moreover what I find the most fascinating is the happiness on the persons face ones the baby has been born and the mum gets to hold the baby,suddenly the labour pain is gone and forgotten and the expession of happiness is incredible out of this world.
wow thats all I can say.

Comment for the day!!!!

" What I am interested in is making a positive mark on the world while doing what I love. Some people just don’t get that". Therein lies the hurdle......

Does what we see affect us?

Peace

so I am back and my partly fasting of all forms of technology has ended and I will save that story for some other day since there is a particular subject I would like to mention or scream about as usuall. So I was driving towards a particular destination today and inorder to get to this destination you are literally forced to pass a motor way which is not particulary funn. As always there are billboards along the motor way which I particularly do not notice, this time it caught my eye, but it did so in a manner I which I had not seen it. I cannot imagine the last time a couple of words had provoked me to inner since of disturbance as these words on the billboards. It read with bold capital writings: "Making love longer, for a longer lasting sex" call bla bla bla. There are a couple of issues with these few sentences and my first question is why put it up in a motor way, secondly why make intimacy such a cheap commodity and de-valueing in such a manner, thirdly what exmple is this setting to youngster?

Some people may dismiss this and say I dont get bothered by advertisment anyways. My answer would be; who are you kidding, everyone somehow to some degree gets affected by what they see wheather that is positive or negative. Futhermore the advertisment industry plays a role in portraying a notion to the nation and thus a huge responnsibility lies withing it to who it conveys to what it conveys and the ethics and manner in which it conveys which I belive has been far lost in this pre-modern era. This is not only is seen on billboards other forms of relating information such as newspapers.

Futher to this, this billboard was also seen in Australia but it had to pulled down since complaints were recieved in vast numbers.......

I guess my concern stems from the society we live in, in which we are all the time encouraged to pursue what our "heart" desires without really thinking that the desire/pleasure which we are seeking may result in damage and destruction to oneself and ones surroundings. therefore its so easy to fall and become a victim of this type of destruction which really lies within our-self. Do not get me wrong I am not anti-pleasure (if there is a word like it) I do believe that desires are an essential godly creation but when it has been perverted, taken in excess or deficient by ones surroundings thats where the danger lies and that is where the soul is at its greatest risk. What I really want to say is that lifes is more than us concentrating on seeking out our pleasures and only thinking of our own selfs, which again these billboards, magazines are constantly reminding us of.


said to much, I think so


peace

6 months of work, many lessons

Peace


I will try to ake this post as short as possible since I am kinda in a state of fasting from all forms of technologies just to revitilise myself in my inner dimensions, so that I'll come back with a bit more energy and focus on my journey.

First of all I feel blessed in all kind of ways since I have got my health and dear and near as well as being involved in a work that I deeply love. I have to say though like with anything else in life it has its ups and downs and celebrating my 6 minths anniversary at work their are lots that I have learnt throughout the way wich I would like to share:

1) Time is gold, fill it with its proper content and you will get much more out of it.

2) Passion; if its there it will give you satisfaction with what you doing

3) Ambition; always wanting to improve and reach perfection and looking for ways & opportunities to do so will not only get you far in any position but will inspire those around you which will influence the dinamic of the work place.

4) Difficulties; will surely come wheather that is with other people, work-load, technologies etc. but what dampens it is not loosing temper and looking for different innovative solutions, always look at the bigger picture and dont let minute things distract you.

5) Make a difference;

6) Mercy and Compassion; is absolutely the key if espcecially you work in the health field, sometimes its diffuclt to relate to another person when we are distracted by getting work done, but by relating to someone else will make us understand the other wich will help us coming up with solutions that is in equilibrium and enable work to flow.

7) Mistakes; accept it, learn from it and move on dont ever get entageld by faults no one is perfect and so everyone is prone to mistakes, its beyond us but they do tend to happen with its wisdom so reflect upon them and let it be a reason for you acceleration to higher ranks and not deccalaration to lower ranks.

8) Have a good time; whatever you get involved with make sure your content with it, this will definitely enlighten your heart and make it at peace even at the most stressfull situations because you doing something you belive and always remember you most happiest situations at work. This will remind you why you doing this in the first place and will help in most diffuclt situations.

9) Pass the knowledge on; any junior you have to work with, be a good supervisor and dont give juniors a hard time (unless they ask for it lol just kidding)since you have been at some point the newbee and learnt from someone else! Its said that the memories of an inspiring supervisor will always be there so be that supervisor.

10) Be well organised, with everything, your papers, work desk, even speech (in arguments).

I think thats all I can think of that I personally have learnt I am sure there lots of other points bit my brain has gone for a strike lol.....no seriously I really hope that anything I have said will be of any benefit.....

Discussion

Peace


First of all let me take this opportunity to which everyone a beneficial fast and may your spiritual month be one filled with enlightment and peace to the heart. Secondly I had the privilege some time ago to attend a discussion show. This was an experience wich I welcomed greatly since I had never attended a tv show and thus was interessted into knowing how things are run as well as being live one planning from the team was crucial. Moreover before attending the editor sent everyone attending the topics and asked for feedback, and so I would like to share them here:

1) Should the great apes be given civil rights? (Things like a right to safety, against discrimination, equality, all sorts of non-speaking rights that humans have)

I agree that the great apes should definitely be accorded the legal right to life and protection from torture. Apes have been endangered for centuries where ape mothers have been shot and their infants shipped off as pets in different countries. I also believe that this law should be extended to other endangered species and that justice and respect should be observed for all non-human species since giving rights for one group and not another is in itself a breach of civil rights and discriminatory. However I do believe that this law would not mean to open up zoo gates and let all apes free but rather zoos should serve the purpose of preserving species but also ensuring an environment where they are given the opportunity to flourish and not be tortured or subjected to cruel and degrading treatment. Moreover as we debate about establishing laws for animals we should not forget the millions of humans around the world that live in sub-human conditions



2) could catholic confession be a replacement for therapy?

I believe that the purpose of confession i.e. acknowledge ones sins, repent from them and seek forgiveness is therapeutic for the soul and can protect it from further insult. However I don’t believe that it should be a replacement therapy where it involves third party since repenting should be a personal act whereby one does the mistake, seeks repentance and enter into a sincere covenant with god directly.



3) Are worldly goods an obstacle to enlightenment?

As with everything, worldly goods if over indulged or extravagant and overly obsessed with could be one of the factors in the prevention of enlightenment since ones focus and energy is engulfed by the interest for money and possessions rather than spiritual or ethical values. Having said this humans by nature have the tendencies for material inclination but if used within measured levels can serve a purpose of a more harmonious existence where neither material ingredient (rank of beast) nor spiritual ingredient (monasticism) dominates.

Three purtent questions which I know has no right or wrong answer, but one thing I would like to also add is that it was extremly interessting to see that a room filled with people could have such a varied opinion which in turn propagated a discussion whereby points were raised from a few point I didnt considere.

peace
