exhaustion or ...inner change









The Mythology of Stress

There are some myths about stress that prevent us from liberally accessing our resources of true peace:

Myth:
"A change in diet, some exercise and a good break from work will lower your stress levels"

Truths: A change in diet, exercise and a holiday can temporarily ease the symptoms of your stress but they cannot cure you.
A proper diet and physical exercise are some of the basics for our well-being but not … our liberators from stress… Nowadays in every local park you will find thousands of track-suited runners, faces lined in pain, sweat pouring out of breathless bodies, all in the name of balance and relaxation.
…and "peace" is achieved, because after two miles they are absolutely exhausted. Peace is not exhaustion or fatigue. It is the ability to quite your mind anywhere, anytime, and know that your body will follow...

}Peace is eternal, which means is an intrinsic feeling of the soul, is a true feeling and as such it cannot come from something external; we cannot have artificial peace. Fortunately we can connect with peace through the power of our thought and thus dive into the Ocean of Peace.

Going on holiday in the 21st century may still be an adventure; it is still a change of scene, people, food and climate. And change can still (sometimes) be as good as a rest. But really deep down you know that you don't need to go anywhere to rest, relax your mind and replenish your heart.

}You know that wherever you go, you will still be with yourself when you arrive. And what you think, feel and do there is likely to be exactly what you think, feel and do wherever you are now. So your 365day thinking and feeling is what you need to change… we need to transform our self.

The Alpha Point








It's not enough to think about God
It needs to concentrate on Him
Thought creates theology
Concentration creates relationship 
Relationship brings Experience1

the means and the purpose
of course thought is not the problem, on the contrary it is one of the faculties of the soul... but once the soul starts identifying with it, it's misuse begins … and every misuse takes the soul away from it's destination … which is the living relationship

the food
like the food … by itself it's not a problem but if the soul consumes inappropriate food or inappropriate quantities then that also takes it away from it's purpose ... a healthy relationship with it's body

silence and the Supreme Soul
in silence the soul leaves behind the last illusionary support which is the attachment to the mind … not to mention the … tongue
the soul chooses a thought and experiments in order to feel if it's true…
like with a good friend, too much talking is never enough in the same way with the Supreme Soul, the Purest Being of the Universe, too much thought brings us away from this Being ... it blocks the relationship , the Love


Visiting my Friend
Let me go beyond complicated exercises and methods … let me go beyond mind-games … it doesn't take to bend time to meet Him, nor to count all the atoms !...

It takes far less for me to communicate with my beloved ones ... neither is necessary to bend my self lower than Him or beg Him … a true friend would never like this … he'd like to communicate as equal … not as the same … but as equal ...

By switching the mind I'm changing swiftly my consciousness... "I am a peaceful soul..." , "I'm a spiritual being of peace…" ,"a being of light" , "my natural consciousness is the awareness that I'm a soul… this is my natural nature..." ...

Here in silence my consciousness tunes in with the Supreme Soul's eternal consciousness … "a being of light with all of its powers activated" the only soul who is constantly in Soul Consciousness… gradually I'm learning to listen to Your Heart … you are my Eternal Friend …I can absorb the power of your Love...
