Transcending Duality

Moment of reflection Only each individual can change their life for the better. Everything comes from the mind reflects our outer world in what we see and how we feel. If you take time to reflect, all holy text warn us of negativity and controlling our minds. The outside world will only be negative and in disarray if we do not control what is inside our tiny little world. One cannot change the  corruption, war, and hate but simply change oneself heart and mind. Take the positive reflections and share with others! Do not add more negative of things one truly has no control over! Be that tiny flower in the crack; smile, hug, laugh, jump, even run with joy! Imagine if there is one of you and another sees and shares that same positive joy and it multiplies! That's how the world changes. Do not look down on another if he does not believe as you or even agree with you but simply lift him/her up. Dhammapada: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on o...

I am... I am not to be confused with you. I am not deluded. I am not misguided. I am not empty minded. I am not disrespect. I am not hate. I am not uneducated. I am not of this world.  I am Me! I am open to all the universes and worlds.  I am in love with the majestic creations.  I am a free soul like a light that dances around The Most Supreme! I am not just physical but also spiritual worshiper of the Divine!

In its essence, the soul is the spouse of the divine spirit. It keeps in memory all the experiences and knowledge that man has acquired on Earth. The soul comes like a guiding Light. It incarnates with man from his first breath and remains very present in the first months of his life. With time, the child’s soul is exposed to all kinds of influences that permeate the etheric water that surrounds i t (its aura). The transparency of this water is vital: if it is pure, the soul can connect with man. If man listens to his soul, it allows him to awake in a higher consciousness and brings him happiness and plenitude. If man’s thoughts, feelings and impressions which he is living at each moment of his life are cloudy, they are printed on the subtle substance of its soul and can go as far as to smother the soul and live in its place. It is very rare these days to reach an adult age while keeping a contact with one’s soul… The soul sacrifices itself and becomes a prisoner of the body. It suf...

A Few Things to Enjoy Rishikesh, India  A city with spectacular views, sounds, and a step into the Indian Culture. The phone is only needed for pictures to capture the beauty. So, let me share my experience of the beauty of Rishikesh and places to visit. Welcome to a little piece of heaven on earth.   The first stop in Riskikesh is Laksman Juhla   An iron suspension bridge across the Ganges or "Ma Ganga" (as the locals say). Only walking and motorcycles can cross the bridge. Oh careful for the monkies, if you have food or anything they just may steal it and enjoy. From time to time you even share crossing with the cows. Looking in every direction you see mountains, nature, culture, smiles, and simply beauty everywhere. Do not miss the opportunity to take pictures in each direction with stunning views.  As you walk across the bridge, you will come into ashrams, markets, restaurants, and complete step away from the modern stor...

Moment of Reflection Often in our darkest times we feel we are down. When it feels all is lost or everything is empty, it really is not. In the toughest times is our greatest moments. A diamond does not just appear beautiful it goes through a process. Each difficulty in life is but a test of the soul. On one hand we can take it as darkness, sadness, difficulty or we can stop and examine the soul in the pain. Do you ever notice the pain continues to come but question is why? Why the pain? If we never reflect on the soul as the diamond we will continue to suffer. Through darkness there is the greatest light. Danielle Sharp

Moment of reflection... I often wonder, why is it the kind and soft hearted people are hurt the most? Is it because others think we do not have self love or respect? Is it because we think that about ourselves? Is it because it's some lesson in life to be hurt? Is it because people with big hearts can forgive no matter what? Is it because we truly understand what living from the heart is? I often wonder but have yet to understand! Danielle Sharp

Moment of Reflection... Do you ever stop and think, what is it that makes me happy? Is it a person or people or an object? What truly makes us feel good? What gives us the feeling of completion? What puts a smile on our face? What makes our hearts fill full? So today as I talked with a friend, we discuss the Western thoughts. Though, the more I think, all over as humans we look at the exterior for happiness. We follow religious and spiritual leaders, our families, read things  from the perspective of others as sometimes we blindly follow. The question is, as we follow are we following because it truly makes us feel good? Sometimes it's easier to step back and realize all the people or things we become dependent on. It is the outside world that give us happiness then once it's gone we are no longer happy for that moment. True happiness is within and not dependent on exterior items.
