Meditation Is Not Sitting Like A Monk

Thoughts become things.

Any thought -- anything we are conscious of persistently -- will eventually show up and become real and true in our lives.

Believe me, I have experienced the worst of what I thought!

This is why it is important for us to stop for a moment each day and NOT have thoughts.

Why? Everyday, our lives are filled with both negative and positive situations and feelings. Every thought that we have is an energy arrow, an infra-red signal which joins with other similar energy frequencies.

Therefore, the moment we stop thinking about something, we switch off that energy frequency. We then have a chance to switch to another frequency.

The moment we stop thinking about something, we stop shooting arrows. If we are busy shooting, how can we receive our blessings?

That moment that we stop actively 'thinking' -- I call that 'meditation.'

It may oppose the popular notion of "doing" the meditation act, that of sitting like a monk in a lotus position to meditate.

Meditation is not religious, even though it is expounded by major religions followed today. Even Christians who don't believe in meditation are defying the very statement in their holy scriptures that says, "Be still and know that I am God."

For the act of being 'still' is what meditation is about. Not thinking, not worrying, not wishing, not fearful, not concerned, not ecstatic. 

The stillness means not thinking.

But it is not a statement that God (most think of God as a figure in the sky) is telling to us. It is in fact our TRUE NATURE telling us that when we are still, we are consulting 'I' -- our inner self -- our higher being -- the God in us.

For God the creator, the infinite intelligence is in us, and IS us -- all smelly, lying, foul-mouthed, hating us. God and I are ONE and the same.

God is the HQ. We are the branch offices. We ARE the God that is living life thru me, thru you, thru each and everybody and every thing.

So when you are NOT thinking, but focus on the task at hand, whether it's sitting quietly and watching the ocean, listening to the birds, looking at children play, or singing, making love, yes, that too... sewing, washing the dishes, sweeping the floor....

...when you are doing something WITHOUT thinking about the bills that are not paid, or resenting your spouse, your car that's broken down, the family member in the hospital, being angry at someone else...you get what I mean...

  

..then you are in meditation. You are in the now. You are not somewhere else, shooting off complex thoughts and feelings. You are here...doing this thing...now.

That moment when you are in meditation, it is the moment you hand over to HQ to act, orchestrate, organize and execute.

HQ can't reach you if you are busy. HQ can only support whatever you're doing. It is the blueprint of existence. HQ has empowered us and authorized us to run our own branch office, our own lives, the way we want it. HQ will support us WITHOUT fail. 

HQ just supports you whatever you are thinking and feeling at every moment. Yes, even when we are thinking that we are the most stupidest, most unconfident, most ugliest, most broke, most out-of-luck bloke. HQ just supports us if we want to live that way and be that way.

It is called UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

So, now, really think and act consciously the kind of life you want to have, the kind of person you want to be. Meditate.

  

Don't worry about how, don't fret over the bills that are not paid, don't be afraid of someone stopping you...

Be conscious of what you are thinking everyday. What kind of energy arrows are you shooting?

Then stop. Meditate. Let HQ do its part and send it over to you to run at branch office.

Do You Believe There's Something You're Meant To Do In This World?

Do you believe  there's something you're meant to do or achieve in this world?

Perhaps you've always felt that you were meant to marry and be the best mother to six kids. Or perhaps, you've always wanted to build a home for stray dogs and cats. Or perhaps, you knew you belonged to the sea and long to spend all your time sailing. Or perhaps, you've always wanted to be a man in uniform. Perhaps you knew you were meant to sing. 

Years ago, I would be embarassed to tell anyone that I've always felt that I was meant to leave my mark, my thoughts, my creative and written works ~ my books ~ as my legacy to this world. Who was I to do it? Wouldn't I be a laughing stock? What would I write about? 

Being in the entertainment industry, it would have seem easy enough to achieve that. I was already producing television shows. That would meant I had already achieved doing something for the world to see.

But alas, my works were mainly for local clients, domestic television stations. And to me, they did not qualify as that purposeful message from the core of me that I was to leave to the world, which would touch somebody's heart and influence somebody's life. 

And so, I dragged the time along with my doubtful wishes, year after year, year after year, trying to feel like a significant person before I could think of something to write. In short, I felt like I had to be perfect before I could be that perfect person that the world could look up to. 

Are you like me?

I hope not. 

But if you were, I can tell you, that when you make a decision, you become significant to your dreams, to that tug in your heart, to the message in your soul that you have for someone. Significance is not achieved by waiting for the world's approval. I took a long time to understand it. Because now I understand that nobody else's approval matters except my own. No, not even your boss'. I have fired many. 

We are not in this world to wait for someone to make it happen for us. If you do not believe me, try it. Try waiting for someone to make it happen for you.  

We are each responsible to be the best we can be, and what we truly want to be. The best that we can be stays undefined unless we truly ask ourselves. We are all capable of achieving our dreams, even with the cards we are born with. There are ways. And those are higher ways that may take some time for us to discover. Some of us never discover it. But perhaps, another lifetime is waiting for us to do it again. 

So, if we are born with something to do before this lifetime is over, then wouldn't it be true that we will find that support and the opportunities to make our dreams happen? Think of it as the mission that you came to earth with, for those of you who love sci-fi thrillers. And just like The Matrix' Neo, or  Superman, it just took a little bit longer before you discover your powers.

So think about it now, if you haven't done what you always felt you were meant to do. 

Get ready.
