Τhe Power of Pure Motives

By renouncing the desire for name, fame and respect from others, all the fruits of your actions will come in front of you. When a task is based on truth and honesty, when its source is only your pure motives, then it is bound to succeed.

Worrying or caring...

Situation
Very often during the day 'Mrs. External Activity' distracts our attention and keeps us focused on the mistakes of others; we then keep trying to correct 'them'... 'for their own sake'... or for 'the sake of better cooperation'.

If only we just could turn within for 5 seconds and feel the disturbance of that worry in our hearts. (note: Miss Worry is the neglected daughter of Mrs External Activity)
Depending on our level of honesty we might find that this emotion is not really a caring one; pure feelings do not produce counterfeits and cannot cause upheaval.

Why is it that this effort to correct others brings upheaval...? What is the beneficial message that Miss Worry brings?

Purity - Equality - Quality

Where there is purity there is quality and equality. The unity in the self and between souls is purity, which brings a special quality in every thought, word and action and also equality in our vision towards others.

In Action... Part B

Looking for something Different...
Sometimes, even though we might have the best of  intentions and try to eliminate repetitive patterns of behaviour and bad habits through knowledge, discussion and self-observation... yet, they still remain.  We feel trapped and lose hope and even the will to try again...

And when the soul tries to experience pure feelings, its thoughts are so many and contradictory... they may be clever thoughts but there's always a cleverer one... the greed for more thoughts and information blocks the access of the soul to its original experience of the self...

This is the point when the soul has consumed all of its spiritual resources (purity, authenticity, enthusiasm) through thoughts, words and actions... What does this actually mean? It means that the soul doesn't have the power to emerge the experience of its own inner truth in a simple way… our thoughts fail to touch our heart.

...time for real Energy
And this is the right time to become empowered. The power- plant for the soul is the Supreme Source of conscious energy... the blueprint of  human consciousness. The Source keeps Its awareness eternally pure from forgetfulness of Its true identity.

By connecting to this Source a harmonious current enters the soul which not only energizes us but also liberates us from the repetitive patterns of wasteful thoughts and behaviours.

Tune in...'But how?'  Set your receiver and connect!
Souls have the ability to connect  to each other: they can communicate intentions, thoughts and feelings. Words and actions are just vehicles of these qualities; no matter what we say or do,  intentions and feelings cannot be hidden...
On this true, inner level I, the soul, am able to connect with the Source. I become the silent receiver of His state of being and characteristics.

In which frequency is He 'transmitting'?
... in the frequency of soul consciousness... He is the only being who stays eternally in the awareness of being a soul and of His original qualities... we forget because we identify ourselves with our roles and the physical forms around us.

The more often we remind ourselves that we are spiritual beings (traffic control) the more we resonate with the Supreme Soul's state of consciousness. Through inner loving attention a current of pure energy reaches the self. With this current it becomes easier to stabilize in a positive state because this energy creates permanent changes. 

Faraway so close...
Imagine two points of light: one here on earth, in time and matter, and the other beyond earth, in another world of silence and peace. When these two points connect through the power of thought and feeling there is union, which allows for a flow of energy and the experience of our true being. I, the soul, the point, am here and the Supreme Soul, also a point of light, is up there. However, love and remembrance bring such closeness that there is no feeling of distance or separation...

The power of sustenance

Creativity is a great power, but even greater is the power of sustenance. To be able to sustain what has been created we need many virtues. The most important of them are patience, tolerance and humility. These virtues will help us maintain newness of the spirit.

In action... Part A'

Action & re-action
Visualize you are throwing a stone into a lake... its tranquil surface reacts with ripples which reach the shore and reflect back towards the central point.

Inevitability...
Whatever happens within the physical sphere has an effect. This is its beauty...it is the game we are here for. An event, a choice I make, everything influences the whole. But what is an 'event'? Is it only what we see on the news or what is recorded by the historians?

Incognito action...
We all emanate energy continuously... even by being 'inactive'! We produce thoughts and feelings which in turn create vibrations in the surrounding atmosphere and finally affect all of us and everything. This activity may be subtle and cannot be seen by naked eye, but still it is an activity; so... it has an effect!
Where?
Our inner attitude (consciousness) as the seed of our thoughts and feelings, create subtle vibrations that influence the attitude of the people around us... out thoughts and feelings as actions (though subtle) have an inevitable effect in the thoughts and feelings of everyone.

The ripples return back to their starting point...
The energy of consciousness that we send out bounces back to us when it reaches some boundaries (i.e other people)... the law of action and reaction (law of karma) does not make exceptions. The 'not so positive' energy that others may send us, is not 'something new' for us... is it? It is the very same energy that we've already sent out at some point in the past... whether to them personally or indirectly...   

Positive ripples
Let us experiment a bit... Let's try sending out energy of respect to others and then feel this energy circulating and coming back to us. Our positive inner position creates energy that is more powerful than the negative energy... this is why when we are in a bad mood we cannot even stand our own company......whereas when we feel good about ourself then this harmony brings us closer to others, automatically.
Radiating positive energy is like an invisible shield that protects us from feeling hurt or insulted.

The inner attitude of selfishness however is like a stone in our lake of peace; it leaves us vulnerable in the ripples of criticism, insult and defamation that bounce back to us. If selfishness could only let go of the reins of our inner world, negativity would not then touch us...

...ripples of a 'different' type
Yes, but.. nearly everyone has a certain amount of selfishness...so how can we experiment in sending out the energy of pure love and respect ? We live in a world where negativity is becoming more and more prominent... where can I find this pure selfless inner state?
Deep within me? But even within me, I have totally forgotten how to feel beyond selfishness... relaxation and peace cannot change my character...
...where can I direct my awareness so as to be positively influenced and remember my pure state?

 To be continued...

Who is forming me ?

Forming externally...
Let us observe how many things we do depend on how others see us: our wife or husband, our children, parents, boss, colleagues etc. Imagine all these people in the same room as us... how would will we really feel?

From 0 to 100 what percentage of coolness would you feel? The remaining percentage belongs to Mr. Fear which is the 'beloved' son of Mrs Attachment.   
What do we mean by attachment... We imagine how the others see us and our whole life is filtered through their eyes and hearts and so we forge a character of which they can be proud and satisfied... according to how the perceive us being 'one of them'.

...and then there comes a day ... and within only a moment you say: "What a shame... and I did so much for you...". And then, after 3 days you say "OK I forgive you... it's ok... let's forget it" . But again after 10 days the same story and life goes on between the two extremes: of pity and anger...
