SUCCESSFULLY HAPPY

Society defines success in terms of winning awards, excelling at school/university/sports/games, climbing the career ladder fast, earning a lot of money, having many acquaintances and being known by many or even better: to become famous. And the majority of people are following this creed because they are believing that to be successful would bring them a kind of lasting happiness. But, of course, this is not true because outward success is transitory due to the law of continual change. Therefore, to believe in worldly success and to make it your aim of existence simultaneously engenders fear and feeds the already existing fear in your being because deep down you instinctively know that your success does not last forever. All the same, there are some who walk through life apparently always being successful. And yet, by the latest when their time of death is coming close, they will be forced to realize that true happiness is an expression of the heart and can only be gained inwardly. And if you look at the eyes of so-called "successful and happy" people you know that their happiness is only superficial and does not touch their hearts because their gaze is bleakly empty and their smiles look like dead masks.
So the equation is not: success equal happiness but actually the other way round: to be happy is to be successful in life. Because to keep your happiness alive and to feel and express it throughout the ups and downs of your personal existence does not come easy and has to be learned and mastered. True happiness is an inner state of being, a matter of the heart and is not related to outward circumstances. It puts a light to your eyes, which is giving a radiance to your smiles.

Whereas if your consciousness is highly atuned to the reality of Divine Light, Love and Truth, it casts no more tangible reflections in the mirror of time and place. Time and place, having thus lost their substance for you, will become a reality which no longer hinders your Spirit's progress in this world of matter. Living in the eternal Now and having realized the power lying therein, you have become its master. Divine Love, Light and Truth only exist in here-now. Therfore, identification with your thoughts...

LOVE THE DARKNESS

Without darkness light cannot be perceived as light. And regarding Nature, without Winter there would be no Summer, without rain and sunshine no growth. When it the periods of darkness outside are growing longer as the year is approaching the winter solstice, do not complain but rather take the opportunity to look for the light shining inside of you. And to practise your vision of the etheric light that is surrounding living things and beings - even in darkness. The "dark" season of the solar year, when the nights are longer than the days, is the time for internal growth, development of the inner vision of (Divine) light. If you do not follow this natural shift of energy of your own accord, personal conditionings are becoming felt as over-powering and you are experiencing depression/ stress/mood-swings/frustration etc. Take Mother Nature for your ideal. She is showing us that Autumn time is the time to let go of external things and to withdraw into yourself and to increasi...
