Words & wisdom - borrowed from Dr Brian Weiss Book | Many Lives, Many Masters




How often does a book touch your life? Do you take note of all the wonderful things that you experienced while reading a book? I thought it would nice to write down a few of my favourite notes from this powerful non fiction. If you want to know, then yes I do keep a journal such as this. A book where i note down all the wonderful books read during the year, in addition to these bumper texts.

…lifetimes measured in lessons learned and tasks fulfilled, not years; charity, hope, faith and love; doing without expectations of return –

Hathor, I later learned, was the Egyptian goddess of love, mirth, and joy.

Patience and timing . . . everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass thought different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see times, but rather in lessons that are learned.”

“I learned about hate . . . senseless killing . . . misdirected hate . . . people who hate and they don’t know why. We are driven to it  . . . by the evil, when we are in physical state . . .”


Page 121

“You were correct in assuming this is the proper treatment for those in the physical state. You must eradicate the fears from their minds. It is a waste of energy when fear is present. It stifles them from fulfilling what they were sent here to fulfill. Take your cues from your surroundings. They must first be put into a level very, very deep . . . where they no longer can feel their body.. Then you can reach them. Its only on the surface . . . that the troubles lie. Deep within their soul, where the ideas are created, that is where you must reach them.

“Energy . . . everything is energy. So much is wasted. The mountains . . . inside the mountains it is quiet, it is calm at the center. But on the outside is where the trouble lies. Humans can only see the outside, but you can go much deeper. You have to see the volcano. To do it you have to go deep inside.

“To be in physical state is abnormal. When you are in spiritual state, that is natural to you. When we are sent back, its like being sent back to something we do no know. It will take us longer. In the spirit world you have to wait, and then you are renewed. There is a state of renewal. It’s a dimension like the other dimensions, and you have almost succeeded in reaching that state . . . .”



Page 122 - 123

But if people knew that “life is endless; so we never die; we were never really born, “then this fear would dissolve. If they knew that they had lived countless times before and would live countless times again, how reassured they would feel. If they knew that spirits were around to help them while they were in physical state and that after death, in spiritual state, they would join these spirits, including their deceased loved ones, how comforted they would be. If they knew that guardian “angels” really did exist, how much safer they would feel. If they knew that acts of violence and injustices against people did not go unnoted, but had to be repaid in kind in other lifetimes, how much less anger and desire for vengeance they would harbor. And if indeed, “by knowledge we approach God,” of what use are material possessions, or power, when they are an end in themselves and not a means to that approach? To be greedy or power-hungry has no value whatsoever.

But how to reach people with this knowledge? Most people recite prayers in their churches, synagogues, mosques, or temples, prayers that proclaim the immortality of the soul. Yet after worship is over, they go back into their competitive ruts, practicing greed and manipulation and self-centeredness. These traits retard the progress of the soul. So, if faith is not enough, perhaps science will help.

Balance and harmony are neglected today, yet they are the foundations of wisdom. Everything is done ti excess. People are overweight because they eat excessively. Joggers neglect aspects of themselves and others because they run excessively. People seem excessively mean. They drink too much, smoke too much, carouse too much (or too little), talk too much without content, worry too much. There is too much black – or – white thinking. All or none. This is not the way of nature. 
In nature there is balance. Beasts destroy in small amounts. Ecological systems are not eliminated en masse. Plants are consumed and then grow. The sources of sustenance are dipped into and then replenished. The flower is enjoyed, the fruit is eaten, the root preserved.  
"Humankind has not learned about balance, let alone practiced it. It is guided by greed and ambition, steered by fear. In this way it will eventually destroy itself. But nature will survive; atleast the plants will. 
"Happiness is really rooted in simplicity. The tendency to excessiveness in thought and action diminishes happiness. Excesses cloud basic values. Religious people tell us that happiness comes from filling one's heart with love, from faith and hope, from practicing charity and dispensing kindness. They actually are right. Given those attitudes, balance and harmony usually follow. These are altered state of consciousness. It is as if humankind were not in its natural state while on earth. It must reach an altered state in order to fill purity, to rid itself of its chronic fearfulness.  

I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I did. If you would like to read an ebook of this, here's the link;

Health Habits

Hi healthy people, how often we meet that slim and sakcy cousin. So lean, so fit, yet eats all day long. And then you happen to ask them whats the secret behind their slim figures and they are like, "nothing yaar". Well how does it feel when you are preparing your morning breakfast, two sunny side eggs and two slice of bread. Fine, edit that, make it two slices of brown bread, and then you think, this brown bread is so small in size, let me have three slices , and then you extend you hand towards the packet of bread and then stop. Well that isn't fiction my friends, its exactly what happened to me in the kitchen this am, as i was prepping my own breakfast. Size, shape, look, colour, height, weight etc etc....Isn't that all we think about when we access someone's health. Isn't it so???? Yes, but no thankyou, stop doing that!! You dont access your health based on all those margins, but on the fact that how neat are you habits inorder to maintain the necessary

Sunset

"Pictures....they say a 100 things....what does yours say??" I  love photography. Its the best captures I make with my phone. Of all the different aspects of life that I get hold of, this one is specially my favourite - the sunset. Its a priceless time of my day - at sunset. What do I see in it? I dont think its very unpopular among you all. Everyone simply loves watching sunsets or taking pictures of them. What remains and stays with us, is what does that sunset mean to us. I would like to sum it up this way - Photographed by the Author - Giselle Gonsalves My kind of sunset, Makes me feel grateful for today, And gives me a new promise for  tomorrow. -ggwrites The sky looked simply spectacular that day at sunset and I couldn't resist capturing it. 

Waiting - By Ha Jin

Dear Readers and bloggers and all of you out there. I just about read my first novel written by a Chinaman. To begin with, I want to ask you all a very simple question. What is love? Im sure all of you, at some point in your life have pondered upon this question. Well, is it important to live your life in love or is peace of mind more important. Ha Jin has very well written such a beautiful story with a simple prose. It gives me joy to tell you how clearly he has bought out certain topics that influence our everyday lives. How often do we envy another and say, “Oh, how green is the grass on the other end”. How much do we know or understand about how easy or difficult is another one’s path. We judge, without knowing. We assume, without asking. We take it for granted, without putting ourselves in their shoes. We live our daily lives, taking for granted each and every blessing we have received. We find faults in what we have and fail to understand that we may be blessed with more t
