A REMINDER TO SELF
WE HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING THAT WE JUDGE
When frustrated or angry with people or situations, remember that you do not know all the 360 degrees of your life. You know and understand only what is in front of you.
Ancient scriptures say that we have lived many millions of life times, gathered many experiences to come to this point in time.
Child prodigy, past life regressions, and near death experiences are great proof for this.
All perceptions about our outer world and our interaction with it is because of a set of beliefs and opinions we accepted and habituated. If we do not understand this, we become preoccupied with pain from our past experiences and we forget to truly live in the moment. We cannot avoid pain but we can choose not to suffer because of it. We can make a choice to not allow the pain to rule our lives.
When we hear and read the near death experiences of people, we come to understand that this is not the only life time we live.
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain scientist, who had a stroke and had to experience the amazing ‘human-being’ without the help of her logical brain. She went beyond the normal view of life and understood that we each one of us have gone through many many lifetimes, wherein we experienced being born as white, black, yellow, brown and red skinned. Her book, “My Stroke of Insight” is an amazing journey into the deeper part of the truth of being a human.
Every lifetime gave us the experience of experiencing ourselves as every person on the Planet. Each life time we have experienced death, disease, pain, poverty, wealth, abundance, war, we have killed, plundered, destroyed!
We have gone through each of these experiences in order to allow the light of understanding to grow within us, to anchor wisdom and create ‘heaven’ on Earth.
It is impossible to think that we would have killed and plundered from this lifetimes point of view. But if we get to understand about lifetimes and that we have also been the villains and victims at many different lifetimes, then we understand that judging others and holding on to beliefs is a waste of time.
The inspiring thing that we can do is to go beyond all judgments and beliefs is to connect with our powerful inner being and ask for guidance. To work on ourselves in processing thoughts and emotions and bring balance to body and mind. To put our energy into things we want to see in the world rather than the things we want to abolish.
We are powerful energy beings and our energy feeds the things that we place our attention on. So let us give our energy to that which we want to build.
Giving ourselves the gift of time to create balance of body, mind, and spirit help us to deal with all situations more effectively.
The Four Agreements” book by Don Miguel Ruiz, is one of my favorites, I read it often, it is a wonderful book that helps one to process emotions and mind stories and bring one to balance.
This physical life is a grand opportunity, this Earth space is a grand space created for us to play the game of being a human.
We are eternal beings and each lifetime is a fraction in eternity, given to help us evolve and grow in consciousness through balanced interaction with life.
Let us play this human game with complete consciousness and create grandness in each lifetime.
Let us choose to give ourselves the gift of balance in body, mind, and spirit.
Blessings!
