Our Thoughts Will Decide the Future of the World
I am just back after the most enchanting visit to the land of Mayan wisdom, the wisdom that shook the world with their predictive ending of their calendar on 21 December 2012. My visit to Mexico reaffirmed my deepest conviction that the Vedic Seers of India and the Mayan Sages of Mexico were able to realize what could destroy the world or what could sustain it.
Blessed are you all to be here on this planet to connect to all of humanity through your positive vibrations of unity and harmony. Blessed are you when you work together to lift up the downward spiral of negative diabolic forces in their powerful wish to prove supremacy over the Divine forces. Blessed are you all to be present at this time of a paradigm shift of consciousness that is taking place globally. And you all are making it happen; yes, I feel it, I mean it.
The work that Humanity Healing and also the paperless Om Times e-magazine are doing is the most selfless effort to awaken the consciousness of humanity toward a great change that the seekers and lovers of God are dreaming all over the world. I am indebted to be part of this magazine with all the enlightened readers, to be co-traveling in the path of light and love that we all embody in our spiritual beings.
Thoughts are the most powerful gift that we possess. It is only by your thoughts, those highly vibrating frequencies of sound, that you can be the co-creator of a safe world where every one’s progeny can play without fear.
Our inner environment has a lot to do with the life outside of us. As such, we are always mirroring our inner to the outer; it is a kind of projection from inside out. Imagine a person who is nurturing negative views of life or chewing on negative emotions. The entire molecular structure of the body is being exposed to a dark atmosphere, where it cannot create the perennial flow of life in its beauty and harmony, peace and abundance.
The problem is when one person in the family is afflicted with a negative inner environment, the others get infected even without their knowledge. They too suffer and find life difficult when they are around that person! Thus the negative situation spreads as a virus and this viral effect is what is causing so much pain to millions all over the world. Whether in the work place or in the family, the attitudinal conflicts create pain not only for the adults, but also for the seniors and children alike. It is time we all bring our attention to the cause of this global malady.
You have to increasingly dive into your inner world for support from within if you really want to pass out of this turbulence. How do you this? First, you need to become mindful of your inner dialogue. This is very important. The left hemisphere of the brain is the chatterbox, it chatters all the time, planning and detailing and getting frustrated when the expectations are not met. The quality of your inner conversation is an indicator of your intentions and motivations. You are talking all the time inside of you, and these thoughts, though random, do influence your inner and outer life in a deep way.
There is a world of difference in the plane of consciousness and its impact in your inner and outer life in the way you react and respond. If you feel something is objectionable, you may instantly react and then get into a bad mood for the day and throw out negative pollution into the world. But if you are alert and mindful, you could take this as a typical life situation, which gives you the opportunity to expand in awareness and move towards a more positive tomorrow for yourself, and through its rippling effect, for all of humanity.
Can you create a distance from the situation that is bothering you and assess its deeper significance to your life or your karma? Can you create a pause and meditate, and mindfully respond to the situation with compassion and understanding? Can you stop resisting and motivate yourself to experience the calm even when hit by the negative force? These are true spiritual challenges that a seeker has to go through, especially in these turbulent times. They are truly the transformational tools that a true seeker relentlessly practices till one is established in the ground of “dhruva smriti” or the ground of equanimity.
The more positively anchored you are, the greater is the possibility for you to avoid conflict and confrontation. Then your mind is prepared for the coming of something that would uplift you to a higher domain where you will experience the joy of calm and peace. Of course, this state is attained through conscious practice in the midst of all the mundane chores of daily life. The effort to walk with awareness makes life a journey worthy of its purpose.
The law of karma, or the effects of causation, can manifest anytime to anyone in this life. There could be happy moments or trying times. But once again what matters is who is stationed on what ground to face it and then reach to higher levels of experience. This is all that creates the difference between a true seeker and an unconscious person. We need to keep in mind that every life situation is an opportunity to scale higher or regress backwards. This is the most important thing that every seeker in the path of Truth should have to remember. There is no short cut to Truth.
In conclusion, I would draw your loving attention to the fact that wise ones all over the world would interpret the 21 December 2012 as the gateway to a new ERA OF LIGHT and conscious awakening for the whole of humanity. There is nothing to fear, for if creation is a celebration, then let us also remember the destructive process is a part of the natural phenomena that happens to the world in all eons. Nature needs to recycle, to recreate out of the present. My only humble suggestion is to not imagine or talk about the negative things that are happening all around the world and don’t project the possible negative outcome; instead, think positively, talk affirmatively, within and without, and be the change that you want to see in this world.
You are important. God is looking to you with lots of hope that you will not join the herd of sheep who believe the world will be destroyed. But yes, you will strongly believe and share that the time is NOW for the dark diabolic forces to be DESTROYED.
Let the New Year 2013 usher in the era of light and love, dispelling all the darkness and gloom from the world. Let us live as spiritual beings in human bodies in a spiritually alive physical world. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti…
