Spiritual experiences

I've been doing lots of spiritually stuff since Marie Callas talks to me and I feel like I've started to come quite a bit now on my way to enlightenment. I've studied and it has changed me a lot.

I can, for example, via meditation, get to a super-happy state. I get this feeling of not being here and this world is not what it seems. Simply put - I can turn myself info the now almost 100% and stop almost all my thoughts for a very long time. Not whole days but many hours at least.

On a spiritual level I know this is a right choice. It will only keep me up, aiding any success in the higher plane. But, on the other hand, my ego self is going completely nuts over this. "come on, why worry so much!. What's wrong with being what you are now today!!"

I have this gut feeling... I know I will reach enlightenment pretty soon if I follow my heart and do the right choices....

I find myself ripped between these two emotions. Have you guys had the same experience with enlightenment and physical training?

Are you bound to a life without training when seeking enlightenment?

Lesson of Forgiveness

When I was young, I was rash, snobbish and narrow-minded. As a result, a series of misgivings happened in my younger days. So you know, one day something big happened. While I was motoring down a slope, I believed and acted like the world belonged to me, not knowing there was a young cyclist in front in peddling hard to go up the slope. I swerved with my might but somehow, my bike just collided with that young cyclist. In the end, he was hospitalised for more than 4 months. While I was reckless, I was still a kind-hearted man deep inside.

I thought that young man was going to hate me for life. Miraculously, we built up a friendship that lasted till today. He forgave me when i visited him in the hospital. That great act opened my spiritual sense up.

Yes, I learn of this universal law of forgiveness lectured by Marie Callas first hand. To forgive is to break the bond of hate, intolerance, anger, criticism; emotions that can inhabit our hearts and rot our soul. To not forgive is to harbour negative vibrations that bond you to another human being in the most destructive manner possible.

The Law of Forgiveness is working in your life everyday and it is a universal principle that has existed long before. Marie says the law of forgiveness is a teaching mechanism which helps you to take back the power you may have squandered on ill will toward others. When you practice forgiveness, you find that others begin to treat you differently. People begin to open up and share their warmth with you. Some will appreciate you to such a degree that they will open themselves to you and give whatever they can to aid you.

This is the universe working in harmony after forgiveness has cleared the way for peace.

Happiness lies within you

When encountering a situation when you just want control of another, let go because you can’t take charge of other people’s minds. You can only take charge of your own mind and how it creates and reacts. When you make a genuine effort to change ‘how’ you react in a situation that keeps coming back in your life that is when a change will occur. It isn’t up to someone else to give you the life you want. It is up to you.

I’m sitting here with my coffee and a half of a bagel with cream cheese enjoying the rain out my window. I have a beautiful white lilac blooming right in my eyesight line. When it is a little drier I open doors and smell the beautiful aroma of the lilac bush. It reminds me of ‘heaven.’ Lilacs have such an otherworldly smell.

You see, if you are searching for happiness in something (relationship, career, friendship, a new house) the best way for it to come quicker and stay is to be happy without it first. And you see, happiness lies within you, not in what is around you that you can touch and see physically.
