Almost all of us are in the process of Remembering our Divinity. Something we forgot about ourselves! We live with ourselves every breathing moment, birth to death of the body, and still don’t KNOW ourselves! How can we possibly know Others and all that is outside of our physical boundary?
We can know what is outside of us only in the reflection of the Light of our Being! When our Knowledge of ourselves is not illuminated, it is the so-called ‘Darkness’ or ‘Ignorance’ that our Masters talk about.
“Know Thyself.” “Be Knowledgable.” We hear these words, but it seems like the word ‘knowledge’ in this case is so often interpreted as Physical Brain Knowledge, which I call information! Storage of Information and developing analytic abilities to process and apply that information. Living in this state is not Awareness of our True Selves. Be a Witness of your True Self!
I had talked about developing ‘Spirit-self observing the human-self Witness Consciousness (Saakshi Bhaav).’
So here are some more tips for being alert and ‘meditating’ during a waking day.
—-3 x 5 cards – reminders
We go through so much cramming, making notes, repetition, practice, researching, analyzing, devising so many ways of memorizing factual information in all our years of schooling! How can we assume we don’t need the same to REMEMBER our Spiritual Selves in this school of life?
As we get wrapped in life and life events, we forget the whole purpose of our birth and death! We forget how to Live with the awareness of Spiritual Laws!
Write Reminders to yourself. Post them everywhere in your house. Put them in your wallet, your purse, your pocket, your backpack, inside your books, your glove compartment, your kitchen drawers, on your bathroom mirror, under your pillow, next to your bed…you get the point
Take quotations that inspire you, move you and remind you to become aware of yourself.
Give reminders to yourself of things you’d like to see change within you! Let these reminders sink into your cellular memory.
Let these reminders help you catch yourself in the nick of the moment when you need to apply these changes.
—–Remind yourself to do the slow deep belly breathing a few times during the hectic day
———– Send good thoughts and blessings to people you don’t know and to people you dislike!
We have to be so much more consciously aware to do this ‘task.’ Isn’t it so? It is so much more challenging to put aside all our hurt, pain, anger, negativity to ask God to Bless people we don’t know or ones who don’t stir up any loving feelings instead of ones we are naturally fond of!!
But the effects of this are amazing!
Are you standing at the bus stop waiting for a bus? Practice this ‘blessing’!
Are you waiting in a long grocery line? Maybe you have many strangers around you and some person with 100 coupons standing in front of you. That is an excellent opportunity to practice on that person.
Are you driving on the same roads you have traveled all the time, and you are wrapped up in thoughts of here and there that you are not aware of? Instead, bring the conscious awareness to sending blessings for drivers around you?
Hey! Try this. When you are in a coffee shop or café somewhere leisurely munching on your food along with others around you, pick someone in the far corner to whom you can send blessings. Send it from your heart. Visualize healing energy beams pouring into and around the person. It might happen that person will suddenly look towards you. LOL! Have you tried this and noticed it?
It is proof that we are all Energy Beings. Our thoughts and our emotions are energy frequencies. We are not as isolated and disconnected as we assume we are! Our thought vibrations affect others around us. When it is a very focused thought and emotion, it reaches the target much faster!
TO BE CONTINUED….
Blessed Be,
Ritu
