October
1, 2004 I love the rain. It is so beautiful and nourishing. The earth is being
renewed. The rain is like tears we cry to cleanse our spirit and sometimes nourish
our soul. |
October, 2, 2004 Heaven are the thoughts occupying
our consciousness in every moment. We live with how we allow ourselves to think.
Discipline is what is needed strong hard discipline. |
October
3, 2004 Today is a new day. Yesterday is just a memory. In today, we can give
and show affection to life. Stay patient and within this day. It is all that is
granted us to live. When anxiety knocks at your consciousness, grab it and put
it to sleep. Your purpose here is to believe in the good. There is goodness all
around us mixed with the pain and suffering. When you become whole as a person
you will know what peace is. You wil no longer be bothered and compared to yesterday's
pain. |
October 4, 2004 We are here to live our life the way
we believe it should be lived. We are in the middle of life. We will always have
interruptions as we go. What is important is that we stay positive in the face
of the adversity. Take a deep breath when anxiety takes over your being.Think
about it not being necessary and push it away. That always helps me in my life.
I stop and realize that I am in the present moment, and all is new and the pain
of yesterday is no longer here. |
October 5, 2004 Everyone has
the right to be happy. I want to be happy too. |
October 6, 2004 When
you are an abused child, you spend the rest of your life trying to make up for
the pain. It stays with you for the rest of your life. In fact, some of us are
reliving the pain over and over in the present, and the shadow is only there. |
October
7, 2004 Most people are enslaved by their thoughts. It does not occur to us
that we can become free from their grasp. From the moment we wake up in the morning
to the moment we fall asleep at night, this chatter of the mind continues incessantly.
The habit of thinking is very deeply ingrained in the human race. Yet, this habit
can be undone. To change or stop a habit we have to act consciously in the
opposite direction. Whatever new skill we develop, we have to work at it until
it turns into second nature, and becomes easy to perform. The same is with mind
control. When one is really free from thoughts they become free from their
mind as both are one and the same thing. One comes to see and understand the illusiveness
of the mind. When the clouds hide the sun, the sun is still there, beyond
the clouds. Our Essence, our inner Self, is always here. We only need to remove
the sheets and covers that envelope it in order to experience peace and calmness.
These sheets and covers are our thoughts, ideas, habits and beliefs. I do not
mean to tell you that you have to stop using your mind. You need it in order carry
on your life. I mean that it has to be under the control of the Self. It should
be your servant to serve you right, and not your masterThis quote is an excerpt
from the "Visualize and Achieve" e-book. |
October
8, 2004 Take time and care to live. To live without the memory of the painful
rememberances of the past. Wake up from your nightmare and see the light of day
shining before you. You are a very special person and you mean a lot to a lot
of people. If you would go away there would be a tremendous void in the world.
You bring happiness and joy. The past is gone, the future is what you can imagine.
Dream the impossible dream that we are here to find purpose and meaning to our
world. When you have this, you bring it into the larger world, your world. |
October
9, 2004 The pain you feel are but shadows. They come and go, come and go. But
through this pain and I am talking about going thru your pain you will be wiser
and evolved at every level. |
October 10, 2004 We go as though
we are going somewhere and yet, there is nowhere to go. Around and Around in circles
and things stay relatively the same. |
October 11, 2004 The
Dali Lama states: "Through a difficult period you can learn that you can
develop inner strength, determination and courage to face your problems." |
October
12, 2004 Beyond the chattering mind, there a feeling of well being. All beings
are supported in consciousness. All beings were born in light, but personal experiences
has dimmed this knowledge. And for some, there is no feeling of light or well
being at all. Just for one moment, stop your thoughts. Take a hold of them completely.
Stop and feel the silence. That silence is your true home beyond thought and experience. |
October
13, 2004 Don't compare your path with anybody else's. Your path is unique to
you. Whatever path you take, it is God calling you, states Ram Dass, spiritual
teacher. |
October 14, 2004 We need the light to embrace the
darkness or, the unknown |
October 15, 2004 Make a list of all
the things of which you are afraid. Keep the list with you and once in a while
glance at your list. Ask yourself, Why am I afraid of this? The purpose of the
list of fears is to show yourself that fear is created in the imagination first,
and coupled with emotion, makes a pretty toxic reality. Your fears can be very
harmful to your daily functioning. The present moment needs all of your attention
instead of your focusing on something that may never happen. When fears come up,
ask yourself, "Why do I have this fear?" |
October 16,
2004 Our daily thoughts create the admosphere around us. Have thoughts of
hate, malice,fault-finding,criticism or scorn, these same thoughts will come back
to you the same. But have thoughts of love, goodwill, sympathy, kindliness
and cheer, these same thoughts will come back to you. We sow what we reap...As
I have said all along, we are the saviors and redeemers.. |
October
17, 2004 The most challenging part of living for me is to stay completely in
the very moment. There is a side of me that wants to create my future before I
get there. Whenever this happens, I pull my thoughts back into the moment and
keep my consciousness silent and empty. Free in the space of all possibilities
and chance. |
October 18, 2004 As Philosopher J. Krishna Murti
states: "It is important to free ourselves of the known all thoughts and
memories of the past to really be free to experience life in all its majesty and
mystery." |
October 19, 2004 Today is the kind of day that
you put on your favorite music and maybe clean out a closet or a drawer. Just
do something that makes you feel good...Or sit back and groove on being alive.
You are alive and you have consciousness. Isn't that amazing? |
October
20, 2004 Today, I feel the world around me. There is uncertainty in the air.
I feel anxiety all around me and there is nothing I can do to make it go away.
I miss my life of the past. I traveled and had a pretty good life.
|
October
21 ,2004 I need to work. I feel so healthy and positive when I am working.
I thrive on busyness. Be occupied in the moment. To be a positive force in life
and to help others understand themselves better. |
October
22, 2004 Today there is a breeze in the air. It is cool and comfortable outside.
I feel so positive today and I thank the spirit for helping me to understand my
life and everybody elses life. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience.
We are here to create ourselves into the people that we ourselves admire. One
must respect and love themselves before they can truly love anyone else. The Course
in Miracles states: "We will give to another what we give to ourselves." |
October
23, 2004 Your thougts in any given moment are your life and its quality. Quality
of life comes from how we are thinking about life and the world around us.
|
October
24, 2004 I am thinking today about all the people who sacrifice their lives
for other people. To be loving and caring for people you don't even know. I try
to help people in the subway, especially if they are trying to make an honest
living. When they sing in the subway or if there is a man giving out food for
anyone who is hungry. There is also a homeless man who has two kittens that he
has with him. He is very loving to those kittens. You want to give a quarter or
dollar to help feed the kittens. Anyway, today is a new day to give thanks for
all that you have. |
October 25, 2004 In Hinduism, it is said
that: "Every man must fight alone, it is the most secret knowledge in the
world." |
October 26, 2004 For one day, just stop and reflect
upon your life and the things you are experiencing. Most of the time, you will
find that you are living in the now, but acting on the past. This time is only
a memory of your past. People, Places and Things. We are never fully present,
but are living on worn out memories that have no right to be in the present. See
your life for what it is...Memory. |
October 27, 2004 Stop and
feel yourself, feel your thoughts. Now, put all thoughts out of your mind. Feel
the freedom of the emptiness. Try for one day to keep all non-relevant thoughts
out of your mind. Try this exercise and see if for 5 days straight, if you can
stay fully present. Experience the moment with no memory of past pain and sorrow.
Stay present and enjoy the moment in your personal freedom. |
October
28, 2004 Heaven is a place on earth. It is when the inner world and the outer
world are the same. The Course in Miracles states: "The world you see is
what you gave it, nothing more than that." |
October 29, 2004 When
you think that you are constantly making impressions on your subconscious mind.
The heavier the impression, the more likely it will become your reality. The
reason for this is that the subconscious mind doesnt know whether these impressions
are real, or if they are not. So it adjusts your outer reality to match the impressions
that are most dominantly being imprinted onto your mind. This process is called
the imprinting process. You must watch what you are printing onto your subconscious
all day long. You must be vigilant at all costs. Thoughts are things and will
come to life if left unattended. Ask yourself: Do I want this thought to be
my reality? If you don't, simply become aware of the thought. Your awareness will
stop the thought from being imprinted onto the subconscious. By the Daily Guru

30, 2004 How can you expect anything in the world to make you happy if in your
inner world you are unhappy? If you find yourself constantly saying, that
in order to be happy, you must have this thing or you must have that thing, then
make no mistake, you will be unhappy shortly after you get it. Your aching will
reappear. Outer happiness starts from the inside. You will find that whatever
you have, be it ever so little, you will be completely content. Spiritual happiness
does not come in the form of acquiring something, but in fact comes in the form
of shedding something, namely your karmic baggage. Daily Guru

31, 2004 How do I find meaning in my life? The only way to find true meaning
in your life is to see that there is nothing worth searching for in the outer
world. When your outer search starts to subside, your inner light starts to shine
forth and then the world will take on a new meaning. Instead of waking each
day and wanting to go back to sleep, you will greet each day with zest and enthusiasm.
You will be filled with motivation regardless of the weather, and life will become
a marvelous adventure. To enter this other world of enchantment, you must
resist the temptation to seek external meaning. When your focus is taken off the
outer, the inner will be ready to hand you the real rewards of life. The Daily
Guru |
