THE POWER OF THE PAST

Since our mind draws its very life force from its capacity to memorize and remember things it is inevitable that we will time and time again be confronted by recollections of our so-called past and foregone experiences.
However there are two fundamentally different ways to deal with the power of memory and ability to remember one's past. The one is to view ones prior experiences as a life-restricting weight one has to carry, one that gets heavier by each passing day. The other is to see your past experiences as a wealth of treasures, which are adding to your beauty, rendering your life richer and fuller by each passing moment.
If each experience you make in life is likened to a sea-shell containing a pearl hidden inside, I would say onto you:
Turn yourself into a pearl-seeker and collector, who discards the empty shells once he has found and extracted its hidden treasure. Do not hold on to the emptied shell for even though some of them might look enticingly beautiful and appear light weighing, eventually they will make you feel their load and in occupying your hands hinder you from picking up new ones that are still bearing a pearl. And the pearls you are finding inside the shells of experiences may differ greatly in size, colour and hue, may prove difficult at times to extract from their encumbering shells but in all instances they are always going to constitute a lesson of (self-)love and (self-)awareness.

ALWAYS A WAY

There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.

ALL ABOUT LOVE

All life is about love. We are mediums for the Divine Love Force. It is the power of our understanding the experiences of love we make at their depth, which awakens the potential reality of love existing in earthly life.
