Flower on a star

' If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers…' 

____ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)

 

When you feel weighed down by worries and misfortunes, go out at night and look at the starry sky_meditate on how small the earth is, lost in infinite space…

Think how the One who created so many worlds must surely have filled them with creatures more intelligent, more beautiful and more powerful than humans. For when you see these pygmies arguing, squabbling and killing each other, how can you think that the earth – a speck of dust in the immensity of space _ is where the Creator placed his most perfect creatures?

Beneath the stars, you can feel that all the problems that take on such huge proportions in your mind now hardly mean a thing. When you consider that the stars you are watching have existed for billions of years, that the Intelligence that created those worlds is eternal and that you are created in its image, you feel that your spirit also is eternal and that nothing can really trouble you.

____ Omraam Mikhael Ainanhov

The Magic of Words

Learn to speak gently and lovingly, not only to human beings but to animals, flowers, birds, trees and the whole of nature, for this is a divine habit.

He who knows how to utter words that inspire and vivify possesses a magic wand in his mouth, and his words will never be spoken in vain, for at least one of the four elements is always there, ready and waiting to clothe his words in matter.

The materialization may actually occur a long way from he who produced the seed, but you can be sure that it will always occur. Just as seeds are blown away by the wind to fall and take root in distant places, our good words fly from us and produce their magnificent fruits far from our sight.

If you have learned to control your thoughts and feelings, if you have managed to attain an inner state state of harmony, purity and light, your words will produce waves that will have a beneficial effect on the whole of nature.

Heart-Wisdom by Charlie Chaplin

When I started loving myself

I’ve understood that I’m always and at any given opportunity

in the right place at the right time.

And I’ve understood that all that happens is right –

from then on I could be calm.

Today I know: It’s called TRUST

~

When I started to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody

When I try to force my desires on this person,

even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it,

and even though this person was me.

Today I know: It’s called RESPECT

~

When I started loving myself

I could recognize that emotional pain and grief

are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth.

Today I know: It’s called AUTHENTICALLY BEING

~

When I started loving myself

I have stopped longing for another life

and could see that everything around me was a request to grow.

Today I know: It’s called MATURITY

~

When I started loving myself

I’ve stopped depriving myself of my free time

and I’ve stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future.

Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me,

what I love and what makes my heart laugh,

in my own way and in my tempo.

Today I know: it’s called HONESTY

~

When I started loving myself

I’ve escaped from all what wasn’t healthy for me,

from dishes, people, things, situations

and from everyhting pulling me down and away from myself.

In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”,

but today I know: it’s called SELF-LOVE

~

When I started loving myself

I’ve stopped wanting to be always right

thus I’ve been less wrong.

Today I’ve recognized: it’s called HUMBLENESS.

~

When I started loving myself

I’ve refused to live further in the past

and to worry about my future.

Now I live only at this moment where EVERYTHING takes place,

like this I live every day and I call it CONSCIOUSNESS

~

When I started loving myself

I recognized, that my thinking

can make me miserable and sick.

When I though requested for my heart forces,

my mind got an important partner.

I call this connection today HEART WISDOM

~

We do not need to fear further discussions,

conflicts and problems with ourselves and others

since even stars sometimes bang on each other

and create new worlds.

Today I know: THIS IS THIS LIFE!

Sir Charles Spencer 'Charlie Chaplin' (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977)

Step into your own Mystery...

Images/Copyright © Maria Trillidou

~In oneself lies the whole world, and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

"The whole world" is not something that can be understood by logical reasoning.When awareness is focused on mental verbalizations, the energy flow to the mind/head increases and the energy flow to the heart lessens.

~The heart knows nothing of reason.~The heart knows without syllogisms, without the result of an argument. ~The heart knows without the process of knowing...

A whole world is a mystery to the mind,.....so allow your heart to look though the door of your mystery, step into it and take the journey of the mystic. See every step as the process of awareness.

By not trying to demystify, you come into a the union with existence.

The mystery remains a mystery, but by allowing yourself to be part of it, another level of understanding happens. All other understandings are only knowledge borrowed from others…so be your own and feel the world, instead of trying to understand it.

~The longest journey you will take in your life is from the head to the heart~ Sioux Legend

Watching the Silence ...

~Krishnamurti:  Where does silence begin.........Does it begin when thought ends? Have you ever tried to end thought........................................

~Questioner: How do I do it?

~Krishnamurti: I don’t know, but have you ever tried it? First of all, who is the entity who is trying to stop thought?

~Questioner: The thinker

~Krishnamurti: Its another thought, isn’t it? Thought is trying to stop itself, so there is a battle between the thinker and the thought…..................................................................................................

Thought says:  "I must stop thinking because then I shall experience a marvelous state"... one thought is trying to suppress the other thought, so there is conflict.
when I see this fact, see it totally, understand it completely, have an insight into it…then the mind is quiet to Watch, to Look, to See............................................................


Jiddu Krishnamurti~

Vis Medicatrix Naturae * a long forgotten Miracle

A big ~Thank You~ goes out to Science and Medical advancements for the huge amount of factual knowledge that has been brought to light. Unfortunately, along came a loss of an ancient treasure of Spiritual Wisdom. 
More intellectually knowledgeable, yet powerless we remain today into a fragmented state of who we are, unaware of the extraordinary innate power which we can access if only we haven’t forgotten the ~how to.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae - Φύσις Νόσων Ιατρός the motto of Hippocrates - father of Western Medicine, is the recognition that Life is Self-Healing. The motto which is all about the connection to the innate wisdom of the True Self who is aware that wellbeing comes from alignment with the Spirit of Nature_The Energy field within and surrounding each human being_The Power to control re-balance and heal.

Loss of that connection and we live by the illusion of being separate from our deeper source who knows the ~how to. We become divided into a body that uses the mind partly, knowing theoretically there is a spirit somewhere, but has forgotten the entrance to the connective bridge.

Separation leads to acceptance of a series of dis-empowering ideas like:: "The body is a machine assembled from parts and therefore wears out like one", "We live in a hostile environment constantly at risk of contamination, invading germs and viruses’’, ‘’Everything that happens to our body is the result of random chemical reactions", "Genes determine our behavior, there is nothing metaphysical and reality comes down to atoms and molecules", "Cells and bodily organs are separate from each other and should be studied and treated separately", "Human beings evolved as a matter of survival and their ultimate purpose is find a partner, reproduce to pass on genetic code"...

This is exactly how we, ourselves, invented the separation of Body and Spirit, and then we came to believe all about it. When ideas reach the point of becoming beliefs then our conscious and subconscious is conditioned so powerfully as having no other choice than fulfill them....we become what we believe we are.

Established beliefs leads modern medicine merely emphasize on elimination of dis-ease instead of emphasizing on achieving total wellbeing. Treats symptoms as if they are local discomforts instead of hearing them out as the body’s voice for help on another level. Modern medicine specializes in treating separate parts with a tunnel vision disregarding the fact that the underlying cause may stem much deeper. 

In its entire history the human race has been striving to understand the laws of life, along the way some are discovered while others lost.

At the same time people live with aspirations: they dream, sing, dance, draw, laugh, play, LOVE and definitely have no connection with machines needing repair or merely being statistical data on charts. 

Our lives are not meant to be spent in agony and fear. Life is meant to be meaningful, purposeful and creative. 

We definitely need to rediscover, reconnect, reinvent, reunite and remember ourselves as the spiritual beings we are.

Our biological rhythms are like a vibrating planetary body orchestrating a Universal symphony. 

Like our planet Earth, our bodies have circadian, seasonal, lunar, tidal and gravitational rhythms. 

Wellbeing is all about attunement into these rhythms, our bodies becoming sacred microcosmic temples as the macrosmic body is.

.......remembering now how to sing One*Song = Uni*Verse
