DIVINITY WITHIN - Day 40 of 108 Days - Time Matrix
What if a TIME MATRIX exist? And it just so happened that we are looking at it intently and then we noticed that in it is .... US. We are trapped inside the TIME MATRIX. And the fact that as we looked more intently, we feel that the part of us that is trapped inside, should be wanting to get out and be free and yet, it seems that it has no idea that it is trapped. We (the big US) can see because we are outside. But the ones inside the matrix (the little us) cannot, because they are inside and inside there are so many distraction that the matrix is not noticeable at all, in fact the matrix is disguised as part of a beautiful scenery that is so captivating - so who would want to escape from it? wouldn't it be much better to stay in it forever and be lost in its beauty and magnificence?

DIVINITY WITHIN - Day 39 of 108 Days - LOVE is ALL THERE IS, LOVE is ALL WE NEED
"We are all at risk of dying a slow and painful death unless we all unite across all mental and physical borders, change our ways, and ask for help and guidance from the One Creator.
Do not stay in denial much more. Enjoy all that you can. Be kind to each other and yourselves, and constantly express love to all that you possibly can in a Divine act of re-unification and compassion, across all barriers, across all old pains." Gerald O' Donnell

DIVINITY WITHIN - Day 38 of 108 Days - "Will it hurt anyone?"
Day 36 - The first step in the "spiritual discipline" is the cleansing of the speech. Talk sweet without anger. Do not boast of your scholarship or attainments. Be humble, eager to serve; conserve your speech. Practice silence. That will save you from squabbles, frittering thoughts and faction.
Before you speak, think - Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it hurt anyone? Will it improve on the silence?
It seems like the above is too much to do before we speak, for it is so easy to just open our mouth and just let whatever wants to come out, come out. But how often have we hurt anyone or made anyone uncomfortable by what comes out of our mouth?
There is a young couple who seems to care a lot about each other. But one day the guy called his mom and told her that his relationship is hard because his girlfriend always scream at him. To which the mom was almost shock (were they not best friends for years before they got involve in a relationship?) Mom asked how often is this screamfest? EVERYDAY. To which the mom told her son, no one deserve to be screamed at. You should not allow anyone to scream at you. To which mom said why do you allow it? Son replied "she just does". Mom said "then, you must end it". To which son said "I can't, she will kill me". What???
How is it possible that 2 people who cared so much about each other end up in such a situation? Granted she must have some challenges at home, screaming is probably a way of venting. But, why not talk sweet without anger? Why not be humble, eager to serve; conserve speech; practice silence. That will save anyone from squabbles, frittering thoughts and faction.
Before you speak, think - Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it hurt anyone? Will it improve on the silence? But nooooo. We just scream because it feels good. Is it necessary to scream? nooo. Will our screaming hurt anyone? it always does, in one way or another. Will screaming improve on the silence? Of course not. Screaming causes noise pollution.
Let's just do some analysis. Let us say that the guy grew up in a household where the father always scream. Since the mom practice non-violence, the father was never stopped from the screaming habit. And the boy grew up to be a man, hating the father (or his screaming ways). That being the case, that screaming idea is always in the back of his mind. So, if and when he accepted his father for who he is (a screamer) and forgive him and forgive himself, the vicious cycle ends right there and then. But since, he hated his old man's ways, "what he resist, persist". So that screaming has to manifest through the girlfriend. Love is the answer. If they truly care about each other, they have to be willing to change - for the better.
Both of them have to realized that their first step in the "spiritual discipline" is the cleansing of the speech. Then, they have to learn to talk sweet without anger. And they have to be constantly aware of their love for each other and that love should not hurt, and anything that hurt or that is uncomfortable should be remedied at once. Love is easy, love is sweet, love is good, love is comfortable, Love is kind and screaming is not kind.
Love is all. And so it is.
