Forgiveness and not knowing

This morning, in meditation, I came to the feeling of forgiveness of some people who are being very harmful in their thoughts and actions to others. Naturally, my mind automatically said what I have learned since a child:

'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do'

Then, in a flash, I realized the full meaning of this wisdom for the first time.

All the major human problems of the world can be summed up by the word ignorance, and hence, illusion. Many people do not know who they really are. Many people do not realize that what they do is based on ignorance of the truth. Their actions are based on wrong thinking.

Knowledge of who we really are, 'As One in Spirit' is the true answer. Ignorance will then fall away as simply and as fast as light replaces darkness.

So to all those people who are in a level of ignorance and illusion and, as a result, are wrong thinking and wrong doing, I say with a much greater and a totally sincere understanding:

'Father forgive them for they know not what they do'

Graziadio - thanks to God

Passing through Malibu, USA, I stayed for three days at the Graziadio Management and Business School, Pepperdine University. Such a beautiful place, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and up in the Santa Monica Mountains.

At first I thought, what a strange name for a Business School.

Then I learned of the founders with that name - great!

Then I learned that it meant 'Grazia' and 'Dio' which is Italian for
'Thanks' and 'God'.

Thanks to God. How wonderful and uplifting.
Certainly a very special place.

OM the greatest mantra

Increasingly, more and more of us on this planet are learning about the power of thought, especially creative thought, and its ability to shape and manifest in infinite possibilities.

Thought will affect our brain cells, which will affect our feelings, which will affect our nerves and muscles and bodies. This will then affect our 'supposedly' external world.

But try sounds too. Try to chant OM (in an A U M nnnn ) way, very slowly. Then you will strongly feel this sound, the great mantra,vibrate from the very depths of your stomach, and solar plexus region, through your chest, neck, head and crown.

Sound, therefore, also will affect our brain cells, which will affect our feelings, which will affect our nerves and muscles and bodies, and our world within and without.

OM (Amen if you prefer) is the greatest word, the greatest mantra.

Feel the Oneness and Connectedness

If you feel the yearning to be connected, to go beyond thinking, to experience the reality, to feel the higher force, higher self, creative intelligence, inner spirit. God,Buddha self or whatever name you choose for this experience,try this:

Understand and realize that the higher force is everywhere and in everything, all the time, and with you here and now.

Although in everything, just imagine the higher force is in the air all around you.

Imagine the higher force is in the breath.

Gently breath in the higher force, retain it for a few moments, and then breath out.

Do this several times, with slow and deep breaths.

You will feel the richness, the abundance, the goodness, the purity and the peace.

You will feel unity, connectedness and Oneness.
