UNIVERSAL PEACE

 

Dear Reader,

 

Now that we are living in a “post Covid” era, and experiencing other major critical events, like wars, terrorism, climate changes and economic shifts, we may take a moment to gaze at the night sky and experience the wonder of SILENCE.

Become aware how vast is the Universe is and how eternal and we, as humans, are so temporary and small in comparison. Yet, the human being has invented (created) many survival tools. The ancient cave dwellers invented the wheel and the fire and domesticated wild animals.

One of the most fascinating inventions is TIME. All Zen masters and Buddhists knew well that time is only an illusion and is only a construct to count, organise and define, but the idea of past present and future time is a ‘model’ that keeps us thinking we are going forward.

In spite of many inventions of ‘time pieces’ over many centuries, like sundials, obelisks, Greek water clocks, hour glasses, the pendulum, monastery and church towers clocks chiming every 15 minutes to either call people to work or to attend a church service. Now we enjoy the wristwatch powered by a tiny battery and then came the mobile time clock always in our pocket.

My favourite newspaper commentator, Phillip Adams, who is about my age, states that he is not a relic of the past but a relic of the future. He states:

“My task is to save humanity from itself and I failed to alert you to the dangers of Covid -19. I tried and tried but would you listen? NO! Not any more than the everchanging fires, draughts, and dusty storms. It was a waste of time. My principal reason to attention here is to warn you about the present threat that awaits you and it is the persistent illusion of present, pat and future illusion that climate change is here and the scientific evidence states that we are in great peril”

Since time is an illusion, we have only one choice and that is act in the HERE AND NOW! We cannot help but to be in the NOW! This is clearly important in the times of war, terrors where gunmen kill children in schools. Inhumanity is not only destroying peace but also repeats itself all the time, again and again.

Perhaps in a mythical way. We are on a long journey to healing and all healing requires a wound. This collective wound can only be healed by a medicine that we all know and that is LOVE. Universal love is an energy that brings healing, and we can do this by taking action. Here are some ideas to reflect upon:

INTENTION:       

Intention is what focuses your mind like an arrow towards its target. It is your reason for doing something. While this sounds a lot like what a goal is intentions are like the impetus while goals are the destination. Intention is what pushes you forward, relentlessly. As such, they are extremely powerful and make no mistake, you will carry out and do whatever your intention is. Therefore, it is extremely important to set it up for action and not for thinking. If you were to observe the most successful people in our world, be it in terms of financial wealth or happiness, you’ll notice that their intention is completely focused on doing, not talking. While they may spend time talking about what they do, most of their time is spent carrying out what they preach. Thinking about doing something ultimately costs you more energy than actually doing the thing. There are many reasons as to why people refuse to do and are content with sitting there dreaming up different ideas and to do lists. A big reason is the ego. Your ego needs constant external validation and unfortunately, the nature of our society provides more exposure to people who talk about doing than those who actually do. The internet is full of self-proclaimed gurus who know nothing about what they're saying and only know how to manipulate their viewers' egos. By using the promise of an idea to improve one’s life, people are lured into thinking about them incessantly while providing the ego the short term boost it requires through validation of its intelligence, further driving people to seek this. Here’s the thing: Thinking is easy. Doing is the tough bit. It requires you to face problems and figure out solutions.

It requires you to make yourself vulnerable and be brave by opening yourself to feedback. People who never figure out their purpose in life tend to cower behind their egos, afraid of what sort of feedback they will receive. The way past this fear is to simply define your intention. What is your intention in life? Is it to placate your ego, or is it to live the best life you can? Define your intention, and you'll automatically find yourself propelled into action. This has the added benefit of opening yourself up to your heart and receiving negative feedback from the infinite knowledge. Always assume positive intent from everyone you interact with, including your heart. Assume everything is set up to help you improve and live life with greater joy and peace. You'll find that this turns into a reality.

Setting Intentions to Water The power of intention can be used to improve your daily life through some very simple practices. The first of these practices may cause a lot of controversies, but it has its share of believers. This is the practice of setting positive intention to water. The method was conceived by Masaru Emoto, who is referred to as either a scientist or a pseudoscientist depending on which point of view you adopt. Through experiments he conducted on setting positive intentions to water, Emoto claimed to find that the crystals of water which were formed by imparting positive emotion were of a more beautiful structure than those that were imparted with a negative energy. Thus, he postulated that the energy transmitted through our intentions has a real impact on the molecular structure of water. Given that our bodies are almost entirely made of water, this is quite significant. There are multiple ways of transferring positive energy into the water we drink. The first is to hold a glass of water in our hands and to repeat our intention either out loud or in our minds. Our intention could be either a short term focused, daily one or something connected to our long-term goals, it doesn't matter. As long as the emotion is positive and loving, you're on the right track. A good way to further energize the water is to visualize yourself carrying out your intention and doing things in the manner you wish to. By doing this, you’ll be recruiting the power of both your intention as well as visualization. Intention statements are not the only thing you can visualize and repeat.

Setting Intentions to Statements A far more palatable exercise for some might be the process of writing intention statements. These statements are affirmations that you can use to govern how you intend on living your life and what it is you would like to change. There are a couple of characteristics of these statements you should always incorporate, such as writing them in first person, using present tense. In other words, the subject of these statements should always be you and not someone else. This would simply be you trying to control someone else's actions, and that isn't in line with the way nature works. Instead, focus on controlling your own actions and reactions to triggers. The present tense is used to reinforce the fact that what you want in your life is real and that you have full faith that the universe will provide it for you. This is a step where quite a few people stumble. You see, you’ll have faith in the realization of things that you believe possible. However, the point of setting goals and intentions is to push your limits and to achieve something that is outside your comfort zone.

One thing to avoid is the use of words such as: try, but, and or. Your statements need to be as specific as possible. Specificity can be in the form of a quantifiable thing or in terms of emotion. What I’m saying is that you need to know if the goal or intention is met. So you can define reaching a goal in terms of feeling an emotion or in terms of something quantifiable.

Monitor your self-talk constantly since this is just another form of stating your intention. If you detect negative talk, reframe it to positive by using the phrases mentioned previously. Always reframe negative talk and don't let it pass by without questioning and challenging it. Do this, and over time you'll find that your brain will get the message automatically correct itself.
