Light Up The Light Of Life Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, March 07, 2011

Energy comes here and now!

This is dedicated to all the friends that crossed my path last week.  That, with all your barest souls and in the battle with each of their life, it provides us all with new meaning.  It places in our heart the responsibility towards life.  It is the acceptance for our own wrong-doings, in reflection.  It is the acceptance to be accepted for the highest good.  It should resolve our bitterness, even if it is the slightest, not to be consumed further and internally.

This is my prayer for (all names are being protected) Jan, Had, Su, An, Nn, Sid and Roh.  May the light of God lights bright in each one of you.

Many sad events sadden me.  Many sad news bring tears in my heart.  Many sad happenings make my mind wonders at the works of God.  I am drenched with sorrowful life stories.  Of how we have to face with life downhills.  How, even when one struggles to stay positive, the misery can be quite unbearable.  Yet, in all catastrophe, we are reminded that life is said to be a beautiful thing.  We are to have faith and ever to be hopeful.

The whole week, the process of listening to each of these dear friends, has been consumed by different thoughts, whispers, revelations, convictions.  Somehow, it all centered on God.  His light and His love.  His mysterious ways which we could be blind-sighted.  His omnipresence that we under estimated.

I am sure many of us often wonder whether God is right here with us.  If we are His image, why do we often feel that we have been abandoned.  Why do we not get most of the things that we desire?  Why dreams seem so far fetched?  Why does love hurt?  Why are there brothers killing brothers?  Why life can be filled with uncertainties and misery to be experienced?

Many of us know that a person can learn about life without God or a religion.  Someone who has experienced God may be looking on the entire world with wonder and joy.  But, if this experience real?  Is it useful and meaningful or just a subjective event?  It may be full of meaning to that person having it but otherwise no more practical than a dream?

Like all my friends, we shall not disown that great outsider, God.  We admit it is not His wrongdoings for our struggles.  We accepted His presence and His light.  Often that I have mentioned, life IS beautiful.  It is just our ways of doing things, the mechanics of the mind and our reactions, that complicate matters.

Our mind is rather trickery.  We know it is there yet it seems to be inaccessible.  Our whole energy remains blocked, either to our past or in the unknown future.  We forget that to every thing, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven.  We often forget to confine ourselves to the present.

God will not know how to react to our choice if we are not clear with our intentions.  All life choices are about experiences.  These experiences are a divine aid to enrich our wisdom.  God loves us if only we can love ourselves.  He provides the light to all our thoughts in every life situations.

We need to question ourselves how much longer will we go on letting our energy to sleep?  To dwell for the answers when we are not fully ready to accept our own doings?  When we perpetually blame on anything else but us.  How much longer are we going to stay oblivous of the immensity of ourselves?  Of the image of God within us?

To all these friends, I have the faith in your loving souls.  It will be good, for all of us collectively, to know that a person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires can alone achieve peace.  We have to take heart, truth and happiness will get us in the end.  The pains that we are experiencing is the breaking of the shell that encloses our understanding.  We just have to begin with the possible, begin with one step.  There is a always a limit we cannot do more than we can.  If we try to do too much, we will do nothing.

We have to forgive ourselves to have thought about life differently.  We have to forgive ourselves for stocking in our anger, our fears and our disappointments.  We have to forgive ourselves for not knowing our soul, our mind.

In his book 'How To Succeed', Byran Adams said "Your subconscious mind has the answer.  If you are confronted with a problem and you cannot see an immediate answer, assume that your subconscious has the solution and is waiting to reveal it to you.   If an answer does not come, turn the problem over to your deeper mind prior to sleep.  Keep on turning your request over to your subconscious mind until the answer comes.  The response will be a certain 'feeling', an inner awareness, whereby you 'know' what to do.  Guidance in all things comes as the still small voice within: It reveals all."

When we can do that, when this happens, our horizons open to new realities.  We will have the experience of God.

Let me revive my previous writing, "Conversation With God" to end this dedication to these dear friends.  With love and with all my prayers to one and each of you.

Reflection:  in Solitude, in Abundance .. Magnificent Life

Conversation With God
- A Beautiful Insight

God:  Hello. Did you call me? 
 
Me:  Called you? No, who is this?

God:  This is GOD.  I heard your prayers, so I thought I will chat.

Me:  I do pray.  It just makes me feel good.  I am actually busy now.  I am in the midst of something.

God:  What are you busy at?  Ants are busy too.

Me:  Don't know.  But I can't find free time.  Life has become hectic.  It's rush hour all the time.

God:  Sure.  Activity gets you busy but productivity gets you results.  Activity consumes time.  Productivity frees it.

Me:  I understand but I still can't figure out.  By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God:  Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some.  In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me:  Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God:  Stop analyzing life.  Just live it.  Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me:  Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God:  Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.  You are worrying because you are analyzing.  Worrying has become your habit.  That's why you are not happy.

Me:  But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God:  Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. 

Me:  But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

God:  Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me:  If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God:  Diamond cannot be polished without friction.  Gold cannot be purified without fire.  Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Me:  You mean to say such experience is useful?

God:  Yes, in every term.  Experience is a hard teacher.  She gives the test first and the lessons after wards.

Me:  But still, why should we go through such tests?  Why can't we be free from problems?

God:  Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength.  Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance and not when you are free from problems.

Me:  Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..

God:  If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.  Look inside.  Looking outside, you dream.  Looking inside, you awaken.  Eyes provide sight.  Heart provides insight.

Me:  Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God:  Success is a measure as decided by others.  Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.  Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing your road ahead.  You work with the compass.  Let others work with the clock.

Me:  In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God:  Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.  Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me:  What surprises you about people?

God:  When they suffer they ask, 'why me?'.  When they prosper, they never ask 'Why me'.  Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me:  Sometimes I ask, 'who am I, why am I here?.  I can't get the answer.

God:  Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.  Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here.  Create it.  Life is not merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.

Me:  How can I get the best out of life?

God:  Face your past without regret.  Handle your present with confidence.  Prepare for the future without fear.

Me:  One last question - Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God:  There are no unanswered prayers.  At times the answer is NO. 

Me:  Thank You for this wonderful chat.

God:  Well, keep the faith and drop the fear.  Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.  Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.  Trust me, life is wonderful if you know how to live.  Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away! So start creating miracles, no matter how small they are!
