Communicating From Your Higher Self

It is important to be wary of the tendency to feel that you're better than anyone else, just because you belong to a particular social or economic group, or for that matter to a particular esoteric organisation. Unchecked, this can lead to fanaticism , and isolate you from learning from the rest of humanity .

     I have some friends who live good lives but do not belong to any religions, formal groups or special mystical organisations. If i was to compare them, i would say they are more evolved than i am. They don't follow any particular doctrine, but they live in a manner which, in time, i hope to master through the teachings i follow .

     Everyone is a traveler on the path, whether they realize it or not. God speaks through every mouth, even if we personally don't care for the tone of the speaker's voice! Realizing this, we must take care to humble ourselves before some external event force humility upon us .


                                   Learn To Be Loving

If you want to learn to be loving , you might ask yourself, "what can i do to make it easier for another person to relate with me?" Trying to relate within someone else's framework is not manipulation, but rather consideration and common sense. If someone acts extremely formally and you ignore his sense of etiquette, whose fault is it if you weren't understood ?

         Try to give a little of yourself every day, not to score points fro some future day of reckoning , but just to be a better, more loving person. If you do it for any other reason, you may still have something to learn, or as some might put it, you will have some karma to work out.

            If you find it difficult to reach out and be with others, it may help to remember that they are probably just as nervous as you are when it comes to making the first move in getting to know someone new. We're all self-conscious at times.But to be conscious of only ourselves can lead to a selfish attitude. It's not wrong to be concerned with yourself, but by thinking only of yourself , how can someone else feel comfortable with you? How can they feel that you mean them no harm and have their best interest at heart, if all they can see is your preoccupation with your own needs and fears?

          If you reach out to someone else in a friendly manner and are met with negativity, perhaps you can take comfort in knowing that you were communicating from the highest part of yourself. Maybe your kindness pf smile won't be returned,but perhaps it will be passed on to someone else who has a greater need of it than you. If someone is kind to you but because you are in a bad mood, you rebuff them, don't be too hard on yourself .Just try to do better next time .

                                   Soul Mate

At times we look for the perfect mate or the perfect friend . However,as we aren't perfect ourselves, there is a good chance we won't find this perfect person . Acceptance of who we are , even though the tendency to deny it is compelling , is the first step to perfection .

      Hard work to change these painful flaws is the next step. Perhaps, change what we can, but also accepting ourselves as we are , will help us to help someone else to become that perfect for whom we are searching . These efforts are difficult and seem so small in comparison to the great work others have accomplished. Yet we may eventually realize that our effort toward this goal are the greatest work we can do .

      Perhaps, because of these efforts , we will one day find there is less need for formal teaching .Each person will be in touch with God within, and teachings will be heard whenever humanity converses . There will be no comparing , no judging , just ecstatic joy in being .
