Touch of Faith

 

Faith – such a magical 5 letter word, one that can keep you in drama or lift you to soar higher.

We all are a work in progress in discovering Faith in God.  I had to fully believe God does not exist in order to find my own experience – a constant work in progress. I had to first drop all my preconceived notions about God that I learned from parents and society, before I could discover what that is in me. I had to stand in the unknown until a whisper of the grandness touched me.

The touch of faith is an unmistakable energy, a swift answer to a great suffering and a self validating knowing within.

*        It is the miracles in my life

*        It is the silent untouchable part that I touch in the greatest openness

*        It is the deep knowing in my total surrender

*        It is a sweet touch of energy, I call divine.

 

I seem to have it for periods and then I lose it.

Feeling cut off

Grabbing on to people and things in the futile attempt to build my self confidence.

Just another distraction from what is truth…

 

*        With faith, the need for validation ceases

*        With faith the need for survival fears dims

*        The fear of losing my job, money, relationships simply comes to a rest

*        With faith I can accept differences in others

*        With faith I step out of ego battle

*        With faith I let another be angry at me without getting into a battle.

*        With faith I realize the shadows within me with an open heart

*        With faith I can move through great loss

*        With faith I know I am really nothing in the grand scheme of things

My arrogance ebbs, leaving the crystal clarity I can’t control people or situations out of fear. I can only manifest powerful change from a place of great surrender – I know nothing.

 

My soul helps me to not forget the journey I came here to take

My virtues improve with each mistake I own, each injustice I stand up to lovingly, with each fear I release.

 

The journey of discovering who we are is not to be covered under some pretty veils

It is heart breaking, until we let go of our fears to make room for greater love.

It is losing everything we think we need, until we return all our energy back to the single pointed focus – what are we running away from?

May the journey be peaceful, gentle and loving.

 

 

 

Does Corporate America Discriminate?

 

I love America and the foundation based on equality.  I believe this foundation need to extend to our personal lives and professional lives. Questions such as – ‘Do we treat others as our equal, instead of being “better than” or “less than”’- are very important for our own evolution to higher levels.

In my own contemplation of equality I observed Corporate America has a few areas where improvement is needed:

·         There is a difference in a way a manager speaks to his subordinate Vs how he speaks to his peers/superiors.

·         There is a difference in how people treat Contract employees Vs Full Time Employees

·         There is a difference in how IT and Business groups treat each other, often a lack of harmony is observed.

·         There is a difference in how a man treats a woman in a leadership role Vs another man in the same role

 

After years of witnessing it, being part of it and then gaining awareness to step out of it, I found the root cause of this discrimination:

FEAR

 

·         Low self esteem - hence depending on a job title to feel worthy.

·         Feeling the need to put people down to prove ones superiority.

·         Having the belief that being a high performer means job security or is a prerequisite to being loved and appreciated.

·         Allowing another to walk all over one to affirm a limiting belief set in early childhood.

 

 

Pushing another never works. We need to own the responsibility of identifying where the communication is broken and aim to resolve it without the blame game, and without the need to be right.

 

Our sense of self cannot come from anything outside of us. Our self worth automatically comes from a solid sense of virtues built through dedicated self work of seeing and releasing fears.

In my quest to emotional wellness, I had to let go of acting from the place of ‘looking good’, and instead start acting from a place of ‘what is the right thing to do?’.

 

The key question to ask is ‘What is the truth I am resisting to see?’.

 

Keep asking this question through the day and before going to bed.  Asking the questions allows the unconscious mind (right brain) to reveal the hidden fears to the conscious mind (left brain). Once the fear is revealed, we can have a dialogue with our unconscious mind (through our non dominant hand) on how unproductive limiting thoughts are and gently guide it to let go of the fear.

 

For more information on communication with the unconscious mind, contact me at explore@mayavidhya.com

 

I believe Harmony and Team Work is the result of emotional wellness within us.

Easy Ways of Making a Difference to The Planet

 

I have made a list of ways we can help the planet that is easy and effortless. 

Pick one a day and implement. Watch the increase in your happiness meter!

 

1.    Bless the planet and creation when you wake up. Pray for the well being of all.

2.    Do not participate in any human drama or gossip today.

3.    When you see a homeless person on the street, ask the angelic kingdom to surround them. Give money if you can.

4.    Stop your silent criticism of weather, co-workers, family and traffic by mentally saying CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL.

5.    Give someone the benefit of doubt.

6.    When you catch yourself wanting to be right, stop and be flexible.

7.    Eat more Organic veggies today

8.    Help 1 person in a way that is easy and effortless

9.    Think of a fear and pray for its release. You can also say “God take this fear (name it) back to the light as I am ready to stop manifesting it in my life. Thank you God for this. So be it.”

10. Make eye contact with people you avoid, and SMILE.

11. Ask the janitor in your office how their day was, and stop to listen.

12. During discussions, listen fully without planning your response.

13. When faced with a problem, stop the knee jerk reaction to blame, instead ask the question “What is the lesson for me here?”.

14. Let go of the need for approval, manipulation and pushiness.

15. Be sincere in your praise. Don’t say anything you don’t believe to be true.

16. Be truthful and admit your mistake at work and at home.

17. When you desire to inflate yourself, stop and appreciate the weather, the president, or the person in front of you.

18. When you believe you have the answer on how another should act, stop and own your arrogance. Admit to yourself you know nothing that is in another person’s reality.

19. Avoid coffee, cigarette and alcohol today.

20. Write a letter to your senator, congressman or President to request a change to improve the planet.

21.   Before going to bed, say 3 things you are grateful for.

 


The faces of fear

 

Fear is what pushes people out of the way to be the rock star of the moment

Fear is the silent energy that results in addictions and depression

Fear prevents us from knowing our inner strength

Fear puts the lid on creativity.

Fear loves to be the victim

Fear is the aggressor who thinks the world is a battle field.

 

Fear is the way we avoid accepting the truth of the moment

Fear is what drives a relationship apart in the quest to be right

Fear is the culprit when a parent forgets to take the responsibility of parenting

Fear is when corporate politics cloud productivity and compassion ceases

 

 

Why do we let the fear fester?

The ego self would have its walls crumble to admit the degree of fear within

Maybe the ego will realize how wrong it has been all the while

and know the pedestal it sits on is a protective mechanism

 

When the personality discovers the fears, it may run, or weave a sophisticated lie

To cover the fear

Either way, the truth is

Fear prevents us from knowing the grandest experience of all – God

Being a work in progress!

 

I believe human beings will be far happier if they accepted the truth – we are a work in progress at everything!

I was a perfectionist, until I realized I lacked self-love. In every area of my life I am working on releasing some belief that is limiting to embrace more unlimitedness.

I later contemplated on how society will be if we allowed everyone to be a work in progress?

 

1.      The leader of the country will be more willing to be a student everyday on the job. Suggestions for improvements will be received without defense.

2.      The CEO can make decisions from a place of empathy and compassion alongside brilliant direction.

3.      The mother will be a positive influence on her children when she admits her mistakes.

4.      The partners will be able to forgive themselves for not meeting a commitment.

5.      There will be more people helping the poor and needy, as they stop the judgments.

6.      War will reduce as people have tolerance towards difference in points of view.

7.      There will be more emotional intimacy and connection between humans as they can admit their mistake without shame or guilt. They stop reacting negatively to people and blame stops.

 

 

Here are some points for contemplation:

 

·         Our parents are a work in progress. They may not be the ones who can show us what unconditional love is.

·         Our partners are a work in progress. They are students of emotional wellbeing too.

·         Our leaders are a work in progress. They are mastering virtues like the rest of us.

We need to make the shift within us, before the world gets it. We are all learning to love more, live more, and embrace truth more.

 

When we give another a break, we give our self a break.

When we give our self a break, we stop proving anything to the world.

We can rest, and improvise from a place of OKness.

We are happy.

 

Embracing Differences in Others

Differences are not fun when we are insecure and trying to build our self-love by having another agree with our views in order to feel good within.

Differences lead to conflicts at work where blaming the other for having a different view point is sometimes the norm.

Differences in relationship result in breakup.

Differences between countries result in war.

Why do we have differences amongst us?

All humans are students on the path of life, expanding their ability to hold grace under pressure, expanding their ability to love without conditions, expanding their wisdom though life experiences without judgments.

Our idea of what is ‘our truth’ changes with time and experience. We have different point of view at different stages in our life.

Our viewpoint on anything may be a result of:

1. Our denial of the inner feelings the real truth may bring up
2. Our need to feel superior by our adherence to a religious/political view point
3. Our inability to break free from the view point of our parents, society or authority figures
4. Our wisdom gained from experiences as of that point in our life

When there are so many dependencies on ones opinion on anything in life, how can we expect the rest of the world to have our chain of thought?

Having a different view point is our birth right. We all need the freedom to believe what is right for us, until we decide to make a change.

That right comes with being in a free country and being an adult.

So, is it not an act of ignorance to not allow another to have a difference in the way thy think, act, dress, eat, pray and live their life?

When faced with difference, we can continue to speak our truth without demanding the other to accept to our point of view.

Peace within us is a result of accepting those negative aspects within ourselves we have a difference of opinion with what we project to the world. We cannot change what we don't accept within us.

Peace in our outside reality is allowing difference in everyone we interact with. We may not desire another person’s way of being, however we can allow another person to experience the choices they have until they decide to change it on their own.

From Narcissism to Empathy

 

Here are a few definitions for Narcissism:

·       A doctrine that individual self-interest is the actual motive of all conscious action,

·       Excessive concern for oneself , exaggerated feelings of self-importance,

·       Belief ones thoughts/actions is superior,

·       Deep insecurity resulting in an addictive need for being appreciated and thought of as special.

·       A consistent demand to be given a higher reward for work done.

·       A sense of entitlement. The inability to deal with life’s challenges due to the belief ‘it is not supposed to happen to me’.

 

I would never have believed I was narcissistic until my beloved spiritual teacher lovingly pointed out the behaviors of narcissistic people. Lo and behold I found I shared the traits of a narcissistic individual. I am generous and loving, and would not have caught the subtle energies of narcissism that dominated my actions as a teen and adult.

 

Now that I have experienced narcissism, I can share how it impacted me and how to heal from this emotion.


How did narcissism impact my life?

·       I was unhappy for the best part of my early life due to my need to inflate myself and ‘prove’ myself to another through work and other accomplishments. The day was filled with the desire to be one step above another. That is a lonely place to be.

·       I was not able to find a job for a long time as I believed most jobs were ‘below’ my intelligence.

·       I could not have open hearted friendship as I was unable to have emotional intimacy with another. I attracted narcissistic people in my life. Like attracts like.


What makes a narcissist?

1.    Emotional needs being neglected as a child.

2.    Being raised up by a narcissist, whose emotional needs were ignored when they were a child.

 

Hence the root cause is not something one can control as a child; however it can be healed as an adult. This is what allows one to have sympathy for narcissism. Do not judge a person by their actions now, try to understand the root cause and then take action to help the person be complete with that lesson.

Remember, a narcissistic person is more insecure that you are, hence you can have more compassion.


How can you help a narcissistic personality heal emotionally?

1.    Pay attention to their feeling and let them know you are empathetic. Do this from a place of open heart. Avoid being phony.

2.    Help the other know the equality in creation. Discuss the law of karma – what you put out, comes back. Not having the emotional needs taken care of a child is also karmic in nature. It is our job, as an adult, to parent the inner child within us so we have the emotional healing needed.

3.    Define good boundaries and make sure your needs are clearly articulated. Take care of yourself and let the narcissistic personality know you matter. This step has to be lovingly done for it to not incur further division. This will help the narcissistic personality slowly wake up to start listening to another’s needs.

4.    In severe cases I recommend therapy or spiritual teaching from an advanced Emotional Healer. I recommend Dr. Carley J. Henius (www.EmotionalHealer.com)

5.    I recommend the following books:

a.     Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman

b.     Emotional Resilience by David Viscott

c.      The Emotionally Abused Woman by Beverly Engel

 

Simple steps lead to phenomenal results, when led with patience and love.

 

Values and Virtues

I believe the grandest happiness in our human evolution depends on our mastery of virtues and having a sound value system.

I grew up with the belief money was of the highest value. I associated my power to the amount of money I owned and the job title I held.

Life has a way of balancing everything when one is passionate about self mastery – the mastery of fears and limited beliefs which keep us in the Hamster wheel of momentary highs followed by a low.

I finally got it after years of contemplation, I found I am in a happier place in life when I master virtues, and in order to do that, my value system needed an overhaul!

I had to stop valuing something that comes and goes and has a short life span. This included money, looks, job title, and approval from others! There is nothing wrong about being affluent or having a great job, however it does not define who I am! My relationship with everything material became more fulfilling when I had a good foundation on virtues.

I had to find out what values help me to be in a consistent state of OKness,  with consistent evolution to greater happiness each day.

When I value faith and patience, I no longer need quick gratification. This avoids a whole lot of stimulants in the form of food, gossip and meaningless television entertainment.

When I value equality and see everyone as my equal, I find people treat me as their equal. The low income worker, my subordinate at work, the homeless man on the street are all my equal. Each one is experiencing the lessons they need to master, which is between them and God – I am not their judge and jury!

When I value humility, I am at peace. I now have realized I really know nothing in the scheme of all things.

The values and virtues in our life is what give us the ability to master any life threatening challenges from a place of emotional maturity and grace. This is when we have the power to be the solution.


An Invitation To Stop Worshiping Your Spiritual Teacher

I am from India where putting teachers on a pedestal and worshiping them is the norm. I grew up thinking this is ok, as I believed that teacher has the power of the Supreme Creator and she/he is divinely blessed by the Creator.

As I grew up and emotional maturation started blooming, which is a work in process, I realized there was something wrong with this picture. Everyone on the spiritual path gets abilities to see Unseen Beings, channel other great teachers from many realms, heal another, and to predict the future. This has nothing to do with emotional maturity.  No matter what powers a teacher exhibits, the teacher is a student, alongside being a teacher,  until they master all earth lessons and have ascension.  If the teacher allows worshiping and encourages it, it is about their low self-esteem and an invitation for them to do the work of emotional healing.

As the powers were given to me, I did take a few missteps and my ego got in the way. I later realized, the powers given to channel great teachers and divine beings can be easily misused by the unhealed unconscious mind of the teacher. I wanted to be placed on a pedestal at one point due to my insecurity and deluded myself for a short time. Wisdom came with experience, and now I know no matter what powers are given to me, in my path of living in truth and releasing my fears, I will always be a student even as I teach, and I really know nothing in the scheme of all things.

A good teacher is one who helps the students stop worshiping anything materially or not, and leads them back to the Creator within them – a work in process for all of us.

Take a moment to use discernment before you worship another human being. Not worshiping anything is a health way to be. You will have greater devotion for the Creator and all of mankind when you can see God in everyone. We are all a divine work in progress and every teacher has flaws they are learning to overcome.  Take what is true in every teaching and leave the rest.

 


Openhearted Communication - Allowing all to be who they are, including self


We are all students at mastering loving communication. We are all evolving to a state of peace and wholeness within the self, by mastering our fears and limited beliefs.  Here are some points I found helpful towards having an openhearted communication at work and at home.

1. Open to being wrong and willing to learn from anyone, irrespective of age, job title, spiritual affiliations or any other differences.

2. Loving our imperfections allows us to easily accept another person’s limitations. Allow imperfections in self, while consciously working on releasing fears and limiting beliefs every day.

3. Speaking our truth in a nonjudgmental manner, in spite our fears and insecurities, while allowing another the full freedom to reject our ideas.

4. Accepting other person’s insecurities and allowing their evolution to wholeness in their own time. Avoid emphasizing another person’s shortcomings, as that reflects our insecurity.

5. Allowing projection by others by mentally saying ‘I am going to hold the space for you to hear yourself, so you can heal the aspect that thinks the problem lies outside of yourself’.

6. Having awareness of our projections onto others, by paying attention to the denial of our own shadows or limiting beliefs.

Conscious practice of steps 1 through 6 allows us to know when to be firm and when to yield, all done with an even tone arising from a place of zero or less fear.

Unconditional Love

I deeply contemplate on how I can help the world become united and heal each other, and give a helping hand to the needy, without worrying about what they lose materially in the act of giving.

There is a difference between unselfish action from unconditional love and sacrifice/martyrdom. In my experience, unconditional love is based on truth untouched by fears in the unconscious mind. Sacrifice/martyrdom is based on fear and poverty thought. The universe is abundance itself, and as a small part of the universe, my limited beliefs within my unconscious mind can think I need to sacrifice, however when I see the abundance from the Creator in another fearless thought, I feel sacrifice and martyrdom is very limiting. We cant create abundance of magnificence from a limiting thought.

How do we love another unconditionally?

We can’t really love another unconditionally until we can love our self and our shadows unconditionally. When I could love my arrogance, love my constant judgments towards myself and others running in my mind, love my need for acceptance at the cost of not speaking my truth – I have love for myself. I can now love the same arrogance, judgments, and lack of speaking the truth in another. I know I am not better than anyone. We all are simply working out our fears through life experiences and coming closer to absolute truth at revealing all the hidden within us, whereby open our hearts to love in abundance.

This is where empathy is born, the feeling of ‘I know what your challenge is, and I feel your suffering and I want to do something to help you end it.’

Until we can come to that place of unconditional love, we will create difficulty, stress, physical challenges, and lose our happiness.

The choice is simple. However, walking it takes the greatest tenacity, courage and faith in self in my experience. Living in truth does not win any popularity contest with relatives & co-workers, however when delivered with love and compassion in an non-judgmental even tone, a few brave ones will be inspired to do the same to another.

That is unconditional love. I love myself so much I will reflect truth back to you, and you can do whatever you want to do with it. Maybe love another the same way…

My Miracle in 2010: To Know God Heard Me AT My Time Of Need


I have had some great challenges since last November 2009, which included losing my home, leaving my child behind and moving to another state to be taken care of by my brother, health challenges since Jan 8th requiring 2 hospital stays, besides not having the financial resources to start my own living. This was new to me as I was financially very independent and earned well for the last 10 years. I had a lesson to master here.

I cried to God and my spiritual teacher to give me a miracle as the medical bills were huge and I had no means of paying it.

This morning when I woke up, I asked God and my teachers with great passion, to give me a BIG success.

Within a couple of hours Yuma Medical Hospital called me and said they are waiving the $15,000 I owed them!

A few weeks back Providence Medical Hospital Washington also waived the $15000 I owe them, again after I asked God and my teacher for a BIG success.

God gave me $30,000 and now I KNOW God hears me when earlier I was doubtful about it to some degree.  My faith is a work in process and the more I see God in everyone, fully knowing each one is evolving at the speed that is right for them, I can accept the world without criticisms. The world is a caring loving place and there are wonderful people out there. I just had to open my eyes to see them.

In order for me to change my reality to a one far better than what I had created, I had to say:

-No to Drama.

-No to Pessimism.

-No to Criticism.

-No to believing the past will repeat itself, knowing if I do believe it, I will create it by the power of my thoughts and emotions

-No to blaming others for my creation, by not taking a chance, not learning new skills or not leaving a relationship when it was time.

And say

-Yes. I am a student and I am working on my unconscious fears, every day.  I will set aside 1 hour every day, no matter how late or how early it is, for my emotional well being and my happiness. Now I know what gives me true happiness, it comes from within me when I am know I can change my reality to one I like, by releasing all self-sabotaging programs every day.

-Yes. What I see in another person, that I don’t like, is a lesson for me to see the same repressed shadow within me, or to learn virtues like acceptance and unconditional love.

-Yes. I am going to get to know the Supreme Creator one step at a time. God will reveal God at the level I can handle without misinterpretation by my unconscious fears.

Love,
Maya

Happy Health; Happy Wealth; Happy Love

I found the 3 gifts that make me happy are: Happy Health, Happy Wealth and Happy Love. It word Happy changed my definition of health, wealth and love to something deeper and stronger enriching my life beyond measure.

 

Happy Health

 

The world is seeking good health and I did that too, for many years, and in that journey I discovered the recipe that works for me.

Happy Health results from 3 key points:

 

1.      Handling our unresolved emotional healing so we do not impact our physical body with the hidden stress and sabotage our physical well being. Humans need a way to deal with unresolved emotions. It can be drugs, food, sex, work, exercise and even spiritual practices, which can all get out of balance if used as a method to feed unresolved emotions held in the body and mind. Have a practice to write to the fear aspect within and understand the purpose for having it, re-educate it and release it from within the unconscious mind. I have offered the powerful technique of releasing fears in my book The Power of Illusion.

2.      Changing old Neural networks that program the body to like a certain type of non healthy diet, and embrace a higher way of energizing our sacred body. A good way to change a pattern is to do a fast with Organic raw vegetable juice freshly prepared for at least 7 days, so the system is cleansed to a great degree. With this fresh start, start the new healthy eating without gluten, sugar and/or dairy. Each one’s body is unique and you will know your ideal food intake following conscious eating. You will find it easier to stick to a permanent program if toxins are released from the body. I have also observed the need for 30 days of deep self discipline to change a behavior. Visualizing a healthy lifestyle, see yourself get passionate about running a race or feeling light in the body. Do this exercise for at least 1 hour every morning, with eyes closed. This will help create new Neural Networks in the brain. The more the visualization is done, along with releasing fears daily, the thicker the neural pathway and quicker the manifestation.

3.      Happy Health is a process and not a onetime fix. As we make small changes every day, the more toxins are released and we gain more strength and vigor  in the body as the liver does not have to struggle to release the toxins. The body gets into its natural detox mechanism in the process of taking pure nutrition without pesticides and hidden toxins.

 

Happy Wealth

 

Happy Wealth is a state that we arrive to when we are not led by money and material; we are led by the joy of experiencing good things in life from a place of self contentment with the knowing of who we are. We stop seeking wealth and we start seeking Truth within us. The truth that cleanses us of all hidden negative shadows like arrogance, lack of self worth, jealousy, envy, competitiveness and anything that sabotages happiness.

 

When we have the tenacity to not give up in life, and the courage to face any challenge God gives us, we have a strong core within us that has greater power than money in the bank. We are complete and nothing external can feed our needs in an unhealthy manner. We enjoy all material from a place of great joy and gratitude without being hooked on to it.

 

Money comes and we share it with all who is needy and keep the continuous flow of money - received in gratitude and given in generosity.  This is a place of Happy Wealth. A place of knowing I am worthy to desire God’s gifts and my value system is grounded in my truth, loving God, loving my shadows and loving humanity and all creations through eyes of equality

 

 

Happy Love

 

A love radiating from the truth within, not tainted by neediness or hidden agenda is Happy Love.

 

It is a good idea to take the time to discover who we are without a crowd affirming what they want us to be. In that process of deep self discovery, we get to release what does not serve our highest and embrace virtues. Isn’t life finally about mastering virtues? Challenges teach virtues like patience, tenacity, love, courage and faith. I have found my happiness to be causeless and untainted by apparent physical limitations, when my virtues are strong. God’s messages are clear to me in this state as my fears no longer not block or alter divine messages.  Every few seconds of communicating with the Creator fills my heart with love. A love that is causeless and loves ALL with zero judgments. A love that does not care if the person Maya loses her money or job, but moves with a higher purpose to have justice and serve the needy. That causeless love is a Happy Love, my heart is open and love gently resides without fear.

 

 

I wish you great joy in discovering Happy Health, Happy Wealth and Happy Love

Having Hope & Faith When We Need It Most

It was easy for me to desire great spiritual enlightenment and oneness with all of creation. However, taking the steps that can lead to it was a challenge. In order for consciousness to evolve to a higher state, we need to take stock of the current situation and ask the question why enlightenment has not happened yet. Is it fears and limited beliefs that is preventing us from being in a constant state of happiness?  


We cannot live from a state of the highest wellbeing, when our unconscious mind is cluttered with fears. Our limited beliefs will alter truth and make it a “convenient truth”! Our devotion to what is really true, at the risk of losing all that we hold as valuable, is what can allow our Truth to shine without alterations by the unconscious mind. Remember, the unconscious mind can prevent revelation of hidden fears out of self preservation. Truth does not preserve anything other than Truth.


I love the cycles the ego sometimes takes until greater awareness resides permanently.

 

1.     The ego meets a challenge

2.     It may give up thinking it can’t succeed

OR

it tries to do it expecting instant results.

3.     When success does not come after repetitive attempts, the personality may give up thinking it does not work!

4.     The next challenge arrives and back on the cycle, this time with a lessened resolve to face life’s challenges.

 

The ego/personality may forget to have an honest reflection on failures.

·        Maybe the lesson was to see a core limiting pattern and release it.

·        Maybe the lesson was to master virtues like tenacity, patience, courage.

·        Maybe the delay was a karmic learning, until good deeds fills up the positive karma bank.

 

In scientific researches to identify new solution to medical conditions, the scientists work on many samples of data and study all the effects, sometime spanning a few years, before they can claim a new product works. Science does not work on instant results, unless you want a product that has not been tested well.


The student of life, the computer engineer or spiritual healer forgets this principle of Active Waiting. Actively working on the project for however long it takes, and waiting for results to show without ceasing the effort.


If the scientist and visionaries gave up hope on the winds turning in favor, we would not have had the greatest inventions and masterpieces in history.

Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams."

Henry Ford
failed and went broke five times before he succeeded.

Louis Pasteur was only a mediocre pupil in undergraduate studies and ranked 15th out of 22 students in chemistry.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.

 After his first audition, Sidney Poitier was told by the casting director, "Why don't you stop wasting people's time and go out and become a dishwasher or something?" It was at that moment, recalls Poitier, that he decided to devote his life to acting.

Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher called him "hopeless as a composer." And, of course, you know that he wrote five of his greatest symphonies while completely deaf.

Van Gogh sold only one painting during his life. This didn't stop him from completing over 800 paintings.

After Carl Lewis won the gold medal for the long jump in the 1996 Olympic games, he was asked to what he attributed his longevity, having competed for almost 20 years. He said, "Remembering that you have both wins and losses along the way. I don't take either one too seriously."


These visionaries did not give up hope. They saw the success in the unseen.

Faith is taking a leap into the unknown, gaining the wisdom with each leap, to reveal the presence of something greater than human conditioning and fears.

 

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."
~ Confucius

 

Do not give up no matter what!

When you fall down, take a couple of breaths down there, check out the landscape, rethink your strategy, get back up and have a go at it again.

The next time you fall down, affirm:

Failure teaches me courage and tenacity.

Success teaches me gratitude and service.

Thank you God for this. So Be It.

Neither failure nor success teaches the virtue of Truth, which is an existing character that helps us to succeed in life. How we react to failure and success is the measure of our emotional maturity and not the actual outcome itself.

Affirmations for Faith

I take a lead into the Unknown

I know nothing in the scheme of all creation

I allow God to be revealed to me in God’s time

I have the tenacity to not give up until I am one with God.

Thank you God for this. So be it.




Surrendering My Will To God

I cruised through life creating every moment based on what I carried in my conscious mind informed by the fears in my unconscious mind. Once in a while, my unconscious would allow messages from my Higher Self to seep into my conscious mind without any alterations. That is when I get my epiphanies and opportunities that help to raise my frequency and overall state of consciousness. Not once in those moments did I contemplate on surrendering my will to God. That was a fearful job for me as it meant I had to hand over my control to another and I did not trust the unknown Source. I understand why my unconscious mind had this fear as I had a belief the universe was not safe. The reflex action in manifesting desires touch an existing Neuro Pathway in the brain which carried the message ‘THE WORLD IS NOT SAFE!’ So the idea of surrendering to God, though I wanted it consciously, did not appeal to my unconscious. So I held on to my free will and created life from what ‘I’ knew best based on past experiences. I did not try new experiences as that was unsafe, that had the probability of not turning out to be in my favor. Little did I know my past failure were due to several reasons, some of it was associated with my Soul desiring for me to master virtues, and some had to do with self sabotaging due to existing Neuro Pathways having the hardcoded message ‘NEW THINGS DO NOT WORK – STAY OFF. DO NOT RISK!

 

Alas, how we delude our self and call it ‘discernment’! When illusion masquerades as ‘Truth’ we need knee high boots to shovel the garbage out of the way before the real truth can shine!

Then God decided to place me in the right places in life so I can learn precious lessons so I can reduce the unconscious self sabotaging of my happiness. So what did God do? Well, the Beloved allowed me to feel the effects of my past actions and experience my fears fully by bringing me to a state of homelessness due to lack of finance, fear for personal safety with daily crank calls, separated from my 14 year old son and uprooted from one state to another state to live with my brother with whom I did not have a close relationship. I stayed with my brother so I can discover what being part of a family unit and tribe meant, as my relationship with the world was estranged. Fear of being hurt dominated that decision.

In this new environment, I got to know my East Indian culture which I had walked away in anger 15 years back. I got to experience the openness of receiving, laughter every day, and being enveloped in the love from my brother and sister in law. They took my financial burden and started paying my bills. Knowing I was living a healthy lifestyle, they bought me Organic food even though they did not choose it for themselves. The home suddenly had a water filtration system! They were devoted to keeping me comfortable and happy.

I saw the romance, laughter, teasing, love, tenderness between them that made me change my views about arranged marriages not working. I realized the success of a marriage has little to do with pre-arranged or not, it has more to do with the state of consciousness of the 2 people, and how much they see the other partner in reverence. This couple was not ‘spiritual’ and did not attend talks on relationships; however they can be powerful teachers to many on the art of being flexible, being obedient, considerate and loving each other. I was an eager student learning it all.

Then God decided it was time for another revelation. I had a certain health condition where my immune system needed strengthening. My kidney, liver, heart, lymph, bones, muscles were some of the areas impacted. Fatigue, fingers and toes ballooned up for 3 weeks and no amount of herbal supplements worked. Even having raw veggie juices, raw soups did not help.  This was an invitation to get to deepen my connection to God.  

I was scared.

I finally did an ancient Ayurvedic treatment called PanchKarma and I was introduced to the practitioner, a 62 year old wise sage who was devoted to her karma (work) and a loving no-nonsense mother.

She saw what I was not telling her and she started healing me on many levels. After 4 days of treatment, the sadness in my heart broke the lock and flowed out as tears. I called out to God in agony. The revelations given were powerful.  I had the free will to discover life any way I desired. I enjoyed some parts and suffered for most parts. Now something in me was ready to say I SURRENDER! I realized being an engineer and a high income from Day 1 of my career for 13 years did not keep homelessness away from my life. I had padded myself with security and when the time came for challenges stemmed from past negative karma, there was really no protection unless I had conscious collaboration with the Divine in every step. Walking hand in hand with the Creator allows me to have a sense of peace deep within, even when the problems exist.  I realized even though I am the doer, there is a GIVER and that is not me! The person Maya was a very small aspect of it until I realize my God given powers and embrace it grounded in truth and love. A the end of the meditation, God responded “My Way is the HIGH Way”

I cried and I rested.



How Do I Release My Attachment To Dysfunction? A spiritual student ponders...

We are all addicted to dysfunction to some degree. In my journey of releasing my “stuff” that prevents me from living an abundant and joyful life, I noticed there were some areas where I am a dysfunction addict.

For example,

~I love to sit in my sadness and not let go, until I realize that blaming the world for my past really does not help.

~I enjoy my bouts of anger at the Creator, until I realize what my part was in the creation of life’s drama!

~Once in a blue moon I love to indulge in mind blowing anxiety, until I realize I am trying to control something which is no longer in my domain.


So, why am I not letting go of all dysfunctions in record time, when I know it does not serve me?

This is because my conscious mind has not yet convinced the diverse aspects of the unconscious self to coorporate in the journey towards God and grand happiness. My self-mastery is still a work in process.

~My judgmental self loves to blame myself and the world. She would be jobless if she agreed to stop judgments! Maybe I can bless each judgment instead of getting entangled with it.

~My inner child has temper tantrums every so often, until my conscious mind reins her in with logic and love. Maybe I can re-parent her and let this aspect know that I am the one who has to take care of her and not the world.

~My employable self loses interest at working if I don’t have quick gains after reasonable effort. Then the re-parenting by the conscious mind on why instant gratification does not work helps to calm her down. The cincher is when I gently point to her the fact that our fears are preventing success from coming to us. Now, that is when she really becomes humble.

All my diverse selves are all finally cooperating in my desire to manifest happiness every moment by manifesting all my desires grounded in truth and in devotion to my Beloved Creator.

Maybe one day all the aspects within me will completely and undeniably bow to the divine presence within me. That day I will sing Halleluiah!

Until then, I will release each attachment to dysfunction with the same love and devotion a parent uses to coach a tiresome teen or a whiny ten year old!

Patience is mine! Humility is mine! Thank you God for this. So be it!
