I feel like the captain of an airliner

During Mindfulness of Breathing this morning I contemplated the body,
the feelings, the mind, and the Dhamma.

I suddenly felt that my body was like the body of an Airbus
A380 aircraft. It contained all the sophisticated wiring, as
its nervous system. It contained all the systems and processes
for seating,eating,toilets,entertainment etc, as the organs
of the body. It contained all the communication and navigation
systems, like the eyes and ears and voice. It contained large
engines under the wings, like our lungs and muscles. It contained
wings as arms and undercarriage as legs, to transport me.

It contained lots of people watching movies, eating,drinking,
talking, walking and sleeping, as the heart of the system, and
it contained the cockpit, with sophisticated computers and
controls, and a flight team, and me.

I felt that the real I, the self, was a tiny part at the
top of the head, that had the power and duty to direct and
control this vast complex and extraordinary body, as best
I could.

The body complete, like the airliner, or spaceship, or any complex
machine, uses resources from nature and, after a while,
it will deteriorate and eventually die and return to the
earth to be recycled and to be reused in the future.

The I within, doesn't seem like an I at all, but it is as
if it's a droplet of the total ocean temporarily experiencing
the grandness of it all, and developing itself?

Mindfulness?

Everything that you could possibly want or need is here.
It's in the here and now. And it always was.But the whole
is to be found in both the inner here and now, and, as well
as, and not just from, the external here and now.

The only problem you have, if you are not fully awake, is that
you only see that part of the whole that you believe.

For example, if you really believe that the world is predominantly
a dangerous place, you will certainly project that, and you will
selectively perceive the dangers that exist in that view of the world.
What you see will reinforce what you believe.

If you really believe that the world is predominantly a loving
and peaceful place, you will certainly project that, and you will
selectively perceive the love that exists in that view of the world.
What you see will reinforce your belief.

If you are not fully awake to the moment, if you are not Mindful,
you will experience 'selective perception'.

Being Mindful is having total perception (true knowledge) in the
here and now.

Then you will certainly realise that state, and you will see and know
that 'All is One and One is All'

When you only see a part, good or bad, you will not be satisfied.
You will not be fulfilled. Fulfillment comes with seeing the One
and All.

The Law of Attraction within

In the world of separation (which is an illusionary world) we talk
about the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction states that thoughts will correlate with objects
in the external world and, under the right conditions of the law,
manifest as those objects.

This desire to be attracted, to move towards, is a form of love and
therefore this is Law of Attraction is also sometimes called the Law of Love.

In Truth, (without the illusion of separation)in Oneness, where there
is no separation whatsoever, only total interconnectivity between all in both the internal and external worlds, we are already that object that we think,
or become conscious of, here and now. In Truth, in our minds, we have
total faith that we have it here and now. We have total faith,
certain knowledge, that we are One. We are the object and the object is us.
We have taken rightful ownership of our true inheritance.

So it is then just a matter for the high vibrationary thought to
slow down into the lower vibratory external physical time and space,
and materialise.

The Law of Attraction, perceived within the illusionary world,
states that Love is everywhere, omnipresent, and is the cause of
pulling and organising electrons into atoms, then molecules, then
substances and physical objects.

Universal knowledge teaches us that we are already that in reality,
in higher vibrating dimension. And lower vibrating dimension objectivity
is simply visible evidence of the cycle of manifestation in action.

The Law of Love, in the real world, is based on Creative Intelligence within,
that is One and All. It knows the physical is simply the same thought isn a different state of vibration/manifestation. There is no time and space in
Oneness, but our physical senses can only see it that way. (Maya)

Go beyond the physical senses to the higher sense, the sixth sense,
the inner or third eye, and absorb the state of Oneness. Be in Creative Intelligence. That is being in God. That is 'I and the Father are One'.
That is Right Thinking.

Ron Young

Our thoughts can be right or wrong

Our thoughts, compared to the absolute Truth, can be right or wrong.

We can choose our thoughts. We can choose Absolute Truth, by knowing or by accident. It is, here and now, and always was so.We think in harmony with the Truth.
When we think and our thought is infused with unconditional love, we are Right Thinking. We are in harmony with Oneness.

This is doing Gods work.
This is working in harmony with Creative Intelligence.
This is Supreme Philosophy. This is Godness.
This is Budha Mind.
This is being 'back home'
This is We.

Imagining your Ideals of Perfection

I see imagining the 'ideal' as perfectly natural.

The 'ideal' is, if you like, the perfect seed. To help us evolve in the external visible world to that of the internal invisible world.

Achieving that perfect state within, here and now, may be said to be Nirvana.
Achieving that perfect state without, eventually, through a slower natural evolution, may be said to be achieving Heaven on Earth.

I see imaging the ideal, the perfection, within, to be practising, and even accelerating the human and planetary evolution towards perfection.

That is nature, naturally, at work. That is Creative Intelligence at work.
That is what we are to do. That is Right Thinking. That is Right Doing.

What is ...simply is

We can pretend that what is, isn't. But it is.
What is, simply is.

For a while we perceive things the way we choose to
Then we realise that the Truth is the Truth, beyond perception.

Then we realise that there really is no choice,
Other than to be in harmony with what is, in reality and Truth.

Oh how much time we could save, by not learning and pretending
with false perceptions.
But, then again, time is life and
Life is ..isn't it?

The role of Knowledge and even Global Knowledge Management

Whilst in India, I was recommended to read

'The Guru of Joy' Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
and the Art of Living. I read the book on the flight home to London.

“Meditation is seeing God in yourself
Love is seeing God in the person next to you
Knowledge is seeing God everywhere”

Brilliant. If Knowledge is Divine, it makes me feel especially good in
my professional work with Knowledge and Global Knowledge Management.

Walking Meditation

Today, I did a 20 minute walking meditation alone, in the grounds of Maneque, SW France.

I started, whilst walking slowly throughout, by just focusing on what I could see.
I saw many objects, trees, shrubs, grass, hills, sky, clouds, houses, fields, tree lined lanes etc.

I moved from seeing objects to also seeing colours. The beautiful yellow shining sun, the cool blue sky with white clouds. The green grasses, the brown and silver trees. The dark earth. Shades of green and brown. Shades of sun light intensity.

I then moved focus to what I could hear. I heard my footsteps in the grass, the slight rustling of the wind, a bird squaking, a distant dog bark, the sound of my hands touching the shrubs.

I heard my own voice internally communicating with me and infinity.

I then focused on what I could touch. There was so much. It felt as if I was communing with the plants, trees and shrubs.I should have hugged some trees, and not just stroked them - I love the energy.

I then focused on what I could smell and what I could taste. I could smell the fresh mind, the incredible lavendar and several other extraordinary herbs that my wife knows by name, but I do not. Maybe marjoram and thyme and definitely basil.

I then realised the majesty of the all. I then became aware of all the senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting etc. So overpoweringly beautiful.

Such simplicity, to walk and become far more aware, through all the senses, of the here and now, of the incredible Creative Intelligence.

Oh yes, I saw and felt a bud already, in January. Everything is alive and growing, it's just that we do not see it, as we normally live at such a fast pace.

The peace that passeth all understanding comes to mind. I know not why. But I sense a transcendence to true reality.I salute the Divinity in One and All. I feel such connection.

Next time I do a walking meditation, I may hum and chant too.

Enjoy Truth and Ultimate Cause

Here's a mind blowing thought:

Truth is the highest vibration in the Universe
and, therefore, is the ultimate cause of everything

So, if we can raise our vibration into Truth, even
momentarily, then we can enjoy ultimate cause.

Being Human is Super

Whilst travelling from New Delhi to Ghaziabad in a car, I noticed a large billboard.

It was advertising a forthcoming spiritual event promoting the peak of well being and there was a great quote I wanted to capture and share.

"It's not about becoming Super Human

Its about realizing that being Human is Super"

Sadhguru

Enjoy

Unconditional Love really is everything

Unconditional Love is everything.

It is the ultimate thought, feeling and act.
It is a total feeling and thinking act of Oneness to a world of allness.
It is simply the best one can be and do.

Think about it and feel it. It is perfectly peaceful.

Perfect in knowledge too. Oh to have the wisdom to apply this.

All this is everything there is, and perfectly so.

The best messages come from within

This morning, in meditation, I realized that it is far more important to first go within, to relax the busy mind and come in to inner contact.

There you will receive the best possible messages, and not in the email list.

If you are waiting for something, simply go within first.

Ron Young

All Truth is known but we need to teach it in new ways

In meditation this morning, I realised again that all Truth is known, omniscient, but although the principles are universal and timeless, we need to continually teach them to new generations in a way that they can relate to, and actually understand.

We need to put the Truth into today's setting, context, cultures, today's relative knowledge and perceptions, sciences technologies and tools.

For example, I use the wireless technologies, and those of the world wide web as a metaphor for the better understanding of our global interconnectivity and Oneness.

The principles are unchangeable. But the way we teach and understand them changes with human evolution.

All are in different stages of perfection?

While contemplating and saluting the 'Divinity in All'
this morning - Namaste

I thought: If we are all intrinsically and inherently perfect
within, then, perhaps, we are all, outwardly manifesting, in
different stages of perfection?

Maybe there is only perfection and nothing else. And we are all
simply on that one spectrum of perfection? Even a little goodness
is a visible start to perfection?

No evil? Just degrees of perfection?

Live to love another day - and all is a blessing

What a difference just a few words can make to your attitude to life and to the day.

I have blogged before about 'live to love another day' as opposed to the more general 'live to fight another day'. Just one word difference. But this morning, in meditation, I realized that we can then add, 'and all is a blessing'.

This may sound very harsh for those of us who are truly suffering, physically and/or mentally, but it lifted me to the extent that I had to write about it.

If I choose, I can decide that today, despite circumstances, I will do everything I can to love the day - give love whenever I can, gladly accept and receive love, and generally be as positive and helpful as I can. This then will add some value to the world and to my being alive today.

If I will then accept, also, that whatever happens today, whilst loving the day, is a blessing, for myself and all who are affected, then I can truly face anything and everything with more enthusiasm, positivity and hope.

So I find that by saying, 'I live to love another day, and all that happens is a blessing' is very inspiring.

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.

Ron Young

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.

Light a candle for Tibet

This morning, I found it impossible to relax and meditate.

Yesterday I signed on to the Candle For Tibet Light protest, and I will certainly light a candle at 9pm local time for a free Tibet.

But on that website, there is a video that has some pictures that I found so disturbing. Pictures of men holding guns to the heads of people.Although they may well be considered common in a world of wars, I find just one picture to be too much.

I try so hard, each day, to think only peaceful thoughts. I try hard to meditate each noon on World Peace and World Healing. I sincerely try to cultivate compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love to all in this world. I try to salute the divinity in all.

But this sort of brutal experience really knocks me down.

Am I an ostrich who buries his head in the sand of world reality?
Am I a useless idealist?
Am I a soft touch for the sharp wheeler/dealers in this world?
Am I wrapped up in my own ego?

Please let thoughts be things that make a difference!

But as I write this, I realize that thoughts do make a huge difference.
We have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that is making a huge difference.I have the freedom of speech.

I meet lots of sincere, honest, trustworthy, kind, compassionate, loving, peaceful people.

This writing helps.

I will try my meditation again.
