Today's Reflection

NO NEED TO PANIC

IN DANGER OF BEING TRAMPLED

Many people are currently stressed, fearful and even in a state of panic. But it's alright, it's only a state of mind brought on by your normal confused and backward looking subconscious mind! And you don't have to go in search of the subconscious trigger that sets it off - all you have to do is to divert your subconscious attention to the only place and time that life is lived... now. But you've got to work at becoming familiar with peace of mind first...

Check out all my videos on YouTube - there are over 300 of them!

If you’ve watched or read anything in these Ezines, if you’ve begun to explore the simple facts that explain why our lives can be so stagnant, if you have begun to understand how you can get your mind working for you rather than against you, or if you are already well down the not-well-enough-trodden path of personal growth, then you already appreciate why it is so important to grab life by the balls and start living it to the full in the here and now – and you also appreciate just how life threatening it would be not to embark on that journey.

But, oh my God, how difficult a journey it can be. I think it was Jesus Christ who said that you will find your life it you stick to the straight and narrow but that the vast majority of people take the easy option of the wide all-too-well-trodden path. And you and I are surrounded by all these easy-option-ers! They’re everywhere you look – they are the people who want you to get involved in today’s juicy piece of gossip. They are the people who want you to compete with them. How big is your car? Where are you going on holidays? And there’s the inverse weirdoes – someone told me recently that they couldn’t tell their closest friends that they were taking their usual annual skiing holiday for fear of standing out from a crowd that was cowed by economic collapse!

It is so difficult to stand out from the herd – but stand out from it you must or you’re in danger of literally being trampled to death – having the last spark of get-up-and-go, the last breath of adventure, the last vestiges of who you really could be extinguished by this horrible clawing desire to conform. Conforming will kill you – it’s killing you, your loved ones and your friends as we speak. Time to stand up for who you really are and make a difference – it might just make the difference.

Anthony deMello's

WALKING ON WATER

This is a book about reaching God in our own time – says Anthony de Mello. As he moves us along the path, he blends Christian wisdom with Eastern methods of meditation and he draws widely on stories of monks, rabbis and soldiers, fairy tales and legends, gentle jokes and Zen sayings, along with numerous simple exercises. Fresh, lively and absorbing, de Mello’s extraordinary insights into the reality of human living and its divine origins and destination will come as a breath of fresh air and encouragement to everyone who seeks meaning and purpose in our turbulent world.

A CLEAR AND PRESENT MIND

by Willie Horton

Normal lives and repetitive and mundane. Normal people only rarely experience "peak performance" moments - when something so "out of the ordinary" happens them that it demands them to pay more than a normal amount of attention. Psychologists call that "flow". But we can choose to be in "flow". We can choose, ourselves, to pay an abnormal amount of attention to the present moment and, in doing so, begin to live and abnormally successful life.
