NEW WAYS


Mind reigns both over matter and emotions and thus determines your personal reality. Therefore if you wish to change your life in any way, the place to start is your mind. Because your emotions and your physical sensations are merely following and reflecting the train of your thoughts. Of course, in order to be able to wreak any changes in the way your mind is working, you must first become consciously aware of its movements. Watch your thoughts and the way they are behaving in certain situations. Once you are conscious of your mind’s workings, you can then proceed to change their habitual instinctive patterns of behaviour. However this requires your constant watchful attention, because apart from the ago-old instinctive thought structures to be broken through by establishing new tracks for them to follow, there are your emotions as well as your body, which might be trying to keep you in your old rut by showing alarming symptoms or feel heavy and disturbed. It takes a while before the new thought-patterns are strong enough to effect renewal upon your emotional and physical levels, too. It is obvious, that a mind in a calm state is easier to observe and to influence than one in a worried or excited state. So your second object should be to bring tranquillity to your mind.
Life in itself is constant movement and the mind likes nothing better than to follow it. In addition there are the fluctuations taking place within your personal Ego. Thus to achieve moments of inner silence and clarity is no easy task in every-day life. The only sure way to bring serenity and calmness to the mind is by teaching yourself to look beyond appearances and to concentrate upon their still centre instead. And likewise within your own self to focus less upon your thoughts and instead become more aware of the flow of your breath.
Heaven lives in the heart and it is there within your reach at all times – to attain to its peace and tranquillity, all you have to do is to shift your consciousness away from the fluctuations in your mind and emotions. And once your main focus of attention is resting upon your heart centre and its inherent serenity, getting rid of hindering behavioural thought patterns and creating new ones suddenly becomes a very easy task.

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.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
