**
Observing the Mind Itself

The primary meditative technique of great perfection is remaining in
the state of pure awareness. This is accomplished by calming the mind and
then abiding in comprehension of its basic clear light nature. The
meditative practice involves being cognizant of the arising and passing
away of feelings, emotions, sensations, etc., but understanding them within
the context of pure awareness. The more one does this, the more one
realizes that all phenomena arise from mind and remerge into it. They are
of the nature of pure awareness and are a projection of luminosity and
emptiness. Through cultivating this understanding, mental phenomena of
their own accord begin to subside, allowing the clear light nature of mind
to become manifest. They appear as reflections on the surface of a mirror
and are perceived as illusory, ephemeral, and nonsubstantial.
Those who succeed in this practice attain a state of radical freedom:
there are no boundaries, no presuppositions, and no habits on which to
rely. One perceives things as they are in their naked reality. Ordinary
beings view phenomena through a lens clouded by concepts and
preconceptions, and most of the world is overlooked or ignored. The mind of
the great perfection adept, however, is unbounded, and everything is
possible. For many beginners, this prospect is profoundly disquieting,
because since beginningless time we have been constricted by rules, laws,
assumptions, and previous actions. One who is awakened, however, transcends
all such limitations; there is no ground on which to stand, no limits,
nothing that must be done, and no prohibitions. This awareness is
bottomless, unfathomable, immeasurable, permeated by joy, unboundedness,
and exhilaration. One is utterly free, and one's state of mind is as
expansive as space. Those who attain this level of awareness also transcend
physicality and manifest the "rainbow body" (*'ja lus*), a form comprising
pure light that cannot decay, which has no physical aspects, and which is
coterminous with the nature of mind.

Buddhism*<http://www.snowlionpub.com/search.php?isbn=COINTI>by John

Q. What is death?

A. Death is intervening sleep between two successive births while sleep
intervenes between two jagrats and both are transient. According to the
Sanskrit saying: "A wife is half the body of the husband," no doubt it is a
very sad thing for the husband if his wife dies. If one begins to think in
terms of his Atma, there is no sorrow at all. According to the Scriptures,
a wife is dear because she pleases her husband by acting up to his wishes.
Then if all this is for the pleasure of the Atman, where is the sorrow? In
spite of this, even persons who have got a glimpse of the Real Knowledge,
lose their mental equipoise when such calamities occur. During sleep one is
happy. The Self remains happy in sleep and did not see the wife. But now in
the waking state, the same Self which was happy in sleep, enjoys happiness
or misery owing to the presence of worldly things. Why should not the
happiness enjoyed in sleep by the Self be enjoyed in the waking state also?
The knowledge of the identity of body with Atman is the obstruction for
enjoying Bliss.

That which existed is always present; and that which never existed cannot
exist. What is born? What is it that dies? Waking is birth and sleeping is
death. Did your wife accompany you whenever you attended to your duties and
during your sleep? She was staying separately somewhere, but you were then
thinking that she was living. Now after her death you think that she does
not exist. Therefore the difference about your wife is in the kind of
thoughts that constitutes your sorrow that she does not exist. The whole
thing is a creation of your mind. It is that which is known as sorrow owing
to the thought of non-existence (of the wife). The whole is mental
imagination. In his own self which is by nature full of happiness or
creates sorrow. Why should there be grief for the sake of those who are
dead and since they have been freed from bondage. The Self creates grief by
entering into the thought about the dead person. Why should there be any
concern if a person is dead or exists? You must destroy your personal ego.
There is no sorrow at all if one's ego is dead. Leaving off the thought of
'I' while the body lasts is what is called the annihilation of the ego. If
the ego is not annihilated, the person will certainly feel sorry for death.
One cries for persons who are dead, but if the 'I' had been annihilated
before they died, then there is no necessity for his crying for them. Our
experience of happiness is only during profound sleep when we have ceased
to think of our bodies. Even wise men, a Jnani speaks of disembodied
liberation. Therefore a wise man, i.e. a Jnani looks for when he shall cast
off his body. Just as a cook who carries a load on his head feels relieved
soon after he reaches his destination and places it on the ground from off
his head, so a Jnani abides his time to cast off this load of his
embodiment in flesh and blood. Therefore the death of the wife who is
termed half the body of the husband should relieve husband of half his load
and therefore should make him feel happy, but it is not so considered since
we perceive these things through our physical senses. Even jnanis, wise men
though they be, are perfectly aware of the need of being disembodied for
final liberation, yet talk of liberation in the body thus implying that the
body may be made to be eternal.

Q. What is the state just before death?

A. When a person gasps for breath, it indicates that the person is
unconscious of this body; like a dream, while grasping the person is in
something like a dream, and not aware of the present environment.

Q. Does the new body involved in that state represent the next
re-incarnation of the person?

A. Yes, in this case, but there is also in other cases a period between
births. Some are born immediately after; others only after the lapse of
some time; a few are not reborn on this earth but get salvation from the
higher regions and a very few get absorbed here and now.

To a Buddhist: The idea of diversity comes with body consciousness, which
arose at some moment; it has origin and end. What originates must be
something. What is that something. It is I-consciousness. On finding its
source you realise Absolute Consciousness.

Can the world exist without one to cognise it? Which is prior--the
being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The former is always there
and eternal; the latter rises and disappears. It is transient.

Q: What is illusion?

A. Find out to whom is the illusion and it will vanish. It is foolish to
talk about it, for it is outside us and unknown whereas the seeker is
inside and to be known. Find out the immediate and intimate instead of what
is distant and unknown.

Q. "Brahman is real, world is illusion." is Sankara's stock phrase. Others
say the world is real. Which is true?

A. Both. They refer to different stages of development. The aspirant starts
with the definition that the Real exists always, then he eliminates world
as unreal because it is changing, and hence cannot be the Real. Ultimately
he reaches the Self and there finds unity. Then that which was originally
rejected as being unreal, is found to be part of the unity: Being absorbed
in the reality, the world is also real. There is only existence in
Realisation--and nothing but that.

Vedantins say Maya's manifestation is the display of cosmos on pure
consciousness like images in a mirror. The images cannot remain in the
absence of a mirror. So also the world cannot have an independent
existence. Sri Sankara says that the Absolute is attributeless. What is the
difference? Both agree that the display is unreal. The unreality of world
is implied by Sankara whereas it is explicit in Vedanta.

There is no difference between matter and spirit. Modern science admits
that all matter is energy. Sakti. Therefore all are resolved into Siva and
Sakti, Energy i.e. Self and Mind. The bodies are mere appearances. There is
no reality in them as such.

Q. Why does Maya become active?

A. How can this question arise? You are yourself within its fold. Are you
standing apart from that universal activity in order to ask this question?
The same power is raising this doubt in order that all doubts may finally
cease.

Maya is only Iswara-Sakti or the activity of reality.

Q. What is existence?

A. It is subject to birth and decay in order to remind us that it is not
our true state

Q. Wherefrom does the ego rise?

A. Soul, mind, ego are mere words. There are no true entities of the kind.
Consciousness is the only truth.

Forgetfulness of your real nature is the real death; remembrance of it is
the true birth. It puts an end to successive births. Yours is then eternal
life: How does the desire for eternal life arise? Because the present state
is unbearable. Why? Because, it is not your true nature. Had it been your
real nature, there would be no desire to agitate you. How does the present
state differ from your real nature? You are spirit in truth.

Man considers himself limited; there arises the trouble. The idea is wrong.
In sleep there was no world, no ego and no trouble. Something wakes up from
that happy state and says 'I'. To that ego the world appears. It is the
rise of the ego that is the cause of the trouble. Let him trace the ego to
its source and he will reach that undifferentiated happy source, a state
which is sleepless sleep. The Self is ever there; wisdom only appears to
dawn, though it is natural.

Q. Are ego and the Self the same?

A. Self can be without the ego, but the ego cannot be without the Self.
Egos are like bubbles in the ocean.

Impurities and worldly attachments affect only the ego; the Self remains
pure and unaffected.

All these are only mental concepts. You are now identifying yourself with a
wrong which is the 'I' thought. This I-thought rises and sinks whereas the
true significance of cannot do so. There cannot be a break in your being.

The father of your personal 'I' is the real I-God. Try to find out the
source of the individual I and then you will reach the other 'I'.

When the individual goes, the desires also go.

Q. What happens to a man after death?

A. Engage yourself in the living present. The future will take care of
itself. Do not worry about the future. The state before creation and the
process of creation are dealt with in the scriptures in order that you may
know the present. Because you say you are born, therefore they say it. What
is birth? Is it of the I-thought or of the body? Is "I" separate from the
body or identical? How did this I-thought arise? Is the I-thought your
nature? Or, is anything else your nature?

The Jnani's 'I' includes but does not identify himself with the body. For
there cannot be anything apart from `I' for him. If the body falls, there
is no loss for the `l . 'I' remains the same. If the body feels dead, let
it raise the question. Being inert it cannot. 'I' never dies and does not
ask. Who then dies? Who asks?

Q. Do you see the dead?

A. Yes, in dreams.

Q. Wherefrom does the ego rise?

A. Soul, mind, ego are mere words. There are no true entities of the kind.
Consciousness is the only truth.

Q. Are ego and the Self the same?

A. Self can be without the ego, but the ego cannot be without the Self.
Egos are like bubbles in the ocean.

THE ILLUSION OF EGO EXPERIENCE

Q. How to control the mind?

A. Mind is intangible. In fact, it does not exist. The surest way of
control, is to seek it. Then its activities cease.

Seek the mind. On being sought, it will disappear. The mind is only a
bundle of thoughts. The thoughts arise because there is the thinker. The
thinker is the ego. The ego, if sought, will vanish automatically. The ego
and the mind are the same. The ego is the root-thought from which all other
thoughts arise. Dive within. You are now aware that the mind rises from
within. So sink within and seek. You need not eliminate the wrong 'I'. How
can 'I' eliminate itself? All that you need do is to find out its origin
and abide there. Your efforts can extend only thus far. Then the Beyond
will take care of itself. You are helpless there. No effort can reach it.

The individual cannot exist without the Self, but the Self can exist
without the individual.

Our analyses are ended, that is, so far as the intellect goes. But they are
not enough. Eliminating the 'not I' is not enough. The process is only
intellectual. The Truth cannot be directly pointed out. Hence the process.
Now begins the real inner quest. The 'I' thought is the root now to be
sought at its source. Find out who it is and abide there.

Q: Is the analytic process merely intellectual or does it exhibit feeling
predominantly?

A. The latter.

The personal I is a reflection of the real self in the mind.

Ask yourself the question Who am I? The body and its functions are not I.
Enquire further. The senses and their functions are not I. Going deeper,
the mind and its functions are not I. The next step is the question "Whence
do these thoughts arise?" Thoughts are spontaneous, superficial or
analytical. Who is aware of them? Their existence and operations become
evident to the individual. Analysis leads to conclusion that individuality
is operative as the awareness of existence of the thoughts. This is ego.
Enquire further; Who is this I and whence? Do sleep analysis. "I am"
underlies the three states--sleep, waking and dream. After discarding all
not-Self, we find the residue--the Self Absolute. Both world and ego are
objective and must be eliminated in the analysis. Eliminating the unreal,
the Real survives. To accomplish this, eliminate the mind, which is the
creator of the dualistic idea and of ego. Mind is one form of
life-manifestation.

Subject: Universal Healing Ten Commandments for Peace of Mind
To: universalhealing@yahoogroups.com

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others'
affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way
is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform
to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our
direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and
consequently the existence of God. God has created each one of us in a
unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way.
All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them
that way. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind
your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive And Forget

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill
feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We
nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of
stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done
once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering
it. Get over this bad habit. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine
of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too
short to waste in such trifles. Forgive, Forget, and march on. Love
flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave For Recognition

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without
selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no
sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will
start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving
for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do
your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

4. Do Not Be Jealous

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know
that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they
get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but
you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year
old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be
jealous? No .Remember everybody's life is shaped by his or her previous
Karma, which has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich,
nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can
help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your
misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only take away your
peace of mind.

5. Change Yourself According To The Environment

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you
will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do
this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will
mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we
face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are
beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn
to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully
thinking, "God wills it so, so be it." God's plan is beyond our
comprehension. Believe in it and you will gain in terms of patience, inner
strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more
responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to
satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that
may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your
external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in
prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in
your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater
peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the
highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you
meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become
peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will
not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually
increasing the period of daily mediation. You may think that this will
interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your
efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant

An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant
mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile.
Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must
decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social
work or temple work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a
sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even when you are resting physically,
occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret

Do not waste time in protracted wondering " Should I or shouldn't I?" Days,
weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You
can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future
happenings. Always remember, God has His own plan, too for you. Value you
time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail
the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time.
Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes,
but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was
destined to happen only that way. Take it as the Will of God. You do not
have the power to alter the course of God's Will. Why cry over spilt milk?

*The Great Pyramid of Garut?*
Chris Kaplan <http://www.realitysandwich.com/user/brakus>
[image: Garut_Pyramid.jpg]A pyramid far older and larger than the Great
Pyramid of Giza, has beendiscovered in
Indonesia<http://us.en.vivanews.com/news/read/273504-finding-on-garut-pyramid-verified>
.

Mount Sadahurip in Garut, West Java, dubbed the "Garut Pyramid," has been
undergoing verification tests by the Ancient Catastrophic Disaster Team to
see if the mount was indeed formed by the existence of a man-made
structure.

By using Superstring geo-electric instruments, surveyors are measuring the
resistivity of the geological layers, with additional funding being
approved from Germany to undergo excavations. The initial survey has
concluded that the structure is highly unlikely to be of natural formation.

A 3D contour plot of topographical digital data supports the followint
hypothesis, "There exists an anomaly formation made of sinder cone located
on a horizontal unconformity intrusion base." Carbon-14 dating showed the
age of the ancient top soil dated back to at least 6000 BC, and the age of
the hard soil in the lower strat to be of 7500 BC.

Prior to testing<http://us.en.vivanews.com/news/read/269001-indonesia-garut-pyramid-discovered-by-chance>,
a series of excavations were carried out claiming, "that a number of covert
rock inscriptions were spotted," and that the pyramid buried within the
hill would be larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. "The height is
estimated to reach 200 meters," and "it was figured to have been
constructed around 10,000 years ago."

The Deutsche Orient-Gesellscaaft (DOG), with research Prof. Bonatz, will
meet with another interested researcher, Stephen Oppenheimer of Oxford
University, and author of *Eden in the East*, in Bali to discuss a way
tofast-track
excavation<http://us.en.vivanews.com/news/read/276034-germany-ready-to-grant-excavation-fund>

AVASTATRAYA

In sleep, in trance, in absent-mindedness there is no
differentiation. Is that which then was absent now? The difference is due
to mind. The mind is sometimes present and at other times absent; there is
no change in the Reality. The same person who was in sleep is now too, in
waking. The Self is the same all through.

Limitation is only in the mind. The same Self is here and now, in the
wakeful state, as in deep sleep when no limitation is felt. There was no
mind in sleep whereas it is now active. The Self exists in the absence of
mind also.

Q. Why is there no meditation during dream? Is it possible?

A. Ask it in dream. You are told to meditate now and ask who you are.
Instead of doing it you ask such question. Dream and sleep are for the same
person as waking. You are the witness of both—they pass before you. Because
you are out of meditation now, such questions arise.

What happens to the consciousness of a Realised one in sleep? Such a
question arises only in the minds of unrealised beholders. He has but One
state, which is unbroken throughout the 24 hours, whether in what you call
sleeping or waking. As a matter of fact the majority of people are all
asleep, because they are not awake to the Self.

In the deep sleep state we lay down our ego (Ahankara), our thoughts and
our desires. If we could only do all this while we are conscious, we would
realise the Self.

The best form of Dhyana or Meditation is when it continues not merely in
waking but extends to dream and deep sleep states. The meditation must be
so intense as not even to give room for the consciousness of the idea "I am
meditating." As waking and dreaming are fully occupied by the Dhyana of
such a person deep sleep may be considered to be part of the Dhyana.

Sanyasa is the giving up of the ego; even though a person may be living as
a householder in the family circle, the various occurrences of the world
will not affect him if his ego is surrendered. Thus dream experiences do
not really affect us. The dreamer as he quietly lies in his bed, dreams he
is in water, but his bed is not really wet. On the other hand, a person
though remaining in a Sanyasa ashrama who has still attachment to the body,
is a karmi, (man of action, not renunciation).

Ancient 'X-Woman' discovered as man's early ancestors are pictured together
for the first time
By Daily Mail Reporter<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Daily+Mail+Reporter>

<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1260294/X-Woman-Species-ancient-human-Siberia.html#comments>

A mysterious species of ancient human has been discovered in a cave in
southern Siberia.
Nicknamed X-Woman, scientists say the human lived alongside our ancestors
tens of thousands of years ago.
The discovery, which could rewrite mankind's family tree, was made after
analysis of DNA from a fossilised finger bone.
[image: human ancestors]
Back in the beginning: Living 6.8million years ago this is Sahelanthropus
tchadensis. Parts of its jaw bone and teeth were found nine years ago in
the Djurab desert, Chad, and from this scientists created this model head
[image: human ancestors]
This young woman lived between 100,000 and 90,000 years ago. Her skull and
mandible were found in a cave in Israel in 1969 along with the remains of
20 others. The size of their skulls was higher than that of the average
person today
Experts believe the finger belonged to a child who died 48,000 to 30,000
years ago.
It was thought only two species of early humans lived at that time - the
ancestors of modern man and the Neanderthals, who died out soon afterwards.
But the DNA evidence published in the journal Nature reveals a third
species.
The latest study was based on an analysis of 'mitochondrial' DNA - a
genetic code passed from mothers to children.
Researcher Dr Svante Pääbo said the code was different from that of
Neanderthals and modern humans and was 'a new creature that's not been on
our radar screens so far'.
The scientists are unable to say what X-Woman looked like and are even
unsure if the finger belonged to a male of female, but Dr Pääbo said they
named her X-Woman 'because its mitochondrial and we want to take a feminist
tack on this'.
The discovery of the 'X-Woman' comes as scientists revealed images of what
man looked like millions of years ago.
Gathering bone fragments from across the globe, paleoanthropologists used
sophisticated research methods to form the 27 model heads, which are on
show at the Senckenberg Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
The exhibition goes back seven million years to sahelanthropus tchadensis
and traces the numerous stages of man culminating with modern-day homo
sapiens.
Each of the heads is used to tell its story: where they lived; what they
ate; and what killed them.
It shows how researchers today use satellite image analysis and computer
tomography.
There is little doubt that Africa is the cradle of humanity and this is
where the most ancient of the remains were unearthed. But clues to other
pre-human species have been found in the Middle East and Far East.
Only a few thousand fossils of pre-human species have ever been discovered
and entire sub-species are sometimes known only from a single jaw or
fragmentary skull.
[image: human ancestors]
This skull was fashioned from a skull and jaw found in the remains of 17
pre-humans (nine adults, three youths and five children) which were
discovered in the Afar Region of Ethiopia in 1975. They are believed to
have lived 3.2million years ago
[image: human ancestors]
Meet 'Mrs Ples' who was unearthed in Sterkfontein, South Africa in 1947.
Her whole skull was found and it is believed she lived 2.5million years
ago. Sediment traces found on the inside of her skull indicate to
scientists that she died by falling into a chalk pit
[image: human ancestors]
The skull of this male adult was found on the western shore of Lake Turkana
in Kenya in 1985. He is believed to have lived in 2.5million years ago. The
shape of the mouth indicates that he had a strong bite and that he could
chew sinewy plants
[image: human ancestors]
This species of sub-human - Homo rudolfensis - was found in Koobi Fora,
Kenya, in 1972. The adult male is believed to have lived about 1.8million
years ago. He used stone axes ate meat and plants and lived on the wooded
edge of Lake Turkana in Eastern Africa
[image: human ancestors]
Researchers shaped this skull on the basis of this discovery of 'Zinj' in
1959. The adult male lived 1.8million years ago in the Olduvai Gorge of
Tanzania. He would have fed himself on seeds, plants and roots which he dug
out with bones
[image: human ancestors]
The near-complete skeleton of 'Turkana Boy', a male adolescent aged about
13, was found in Nariokotome, Kenya, in 1984. He lived 1.6million years
ago. His teeth and skull bear a close resemblance to discoveries in Asia of
homo erectus
Experts are often forced to resort to educated guesswork to fill in the
gaps in research to come up with images of human ancestors.
Each new discovery means paleoanthropologists have to rethink the origins
of man's ancestors.
The previously held concept of primitive man - characterised by a large
brain and the ability to manufacture tools - has had to be changed by
researchers.
European natives of primitive man, homo heidelbergensis, are believed to
have been able to make perfect javelins from wood 400,000 years ago and are
also thought to have had the ability to plan for the future.
Neanderthals are also now thought to have had far more culture and craft
skills than earlier research indicated.
[image: human ancestors]
Discovered in Java, Indonesea, this skull belonging to 'Sangiran 17' is
believed to have belonged to an adult male who probably lived around
800,000 years ago. He was found by an Indonesian farmer hacking away in a
field. Sangiran is believed to have used fire
[image: human ancestors]
The discovery of this adult male in Sima de los Huesos, Spain, in 1993
points to an early stage in the evolution of neanderthal man due to the
shape of his face. 'Miquelon' was around 1.75m tall and lived about 500,000
to 350,000 years ago. His remains were found with that of 31 others which
led researchers to believe this was a burial site
[image: human ancestors]
The skull and jaw of this female 'hobbit' was found in Liang Bua, Flores,
Indonesia, in 2003. She was about 1m tall and lived about 18,000 years ago.
The discovery brought into question the belief that Homo sapiens was the
only form of mankind for the past 30,000 years. Homo sapiens are the
primate species to which modern humans belong
[image: human ancestors]
The 'Old man of La Chapelle' was recreated from the skull and jaw of a male
found near La Chapelle-aux-Saints, in France in 1908. He lived 56,000 years
ago. His skeleton indicated he suffered a number of illness including
arthritis and had numerous broken bones. This was not noticed when he was
first discovered and gave rise to the mistaken belief that neanderthal man
was a hunched individual. His relatively old age of between 40 to 50
indicates he was looked after by a clan

Give up all questions except one `who am I?' After all the only fact you
are sure of is that you `are'. The `I am' is certain, the `I am this' is
not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality.

'I am' itself is God, the seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover
that you are neither the body nor the mind, and the love of the self in you
is for the self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the
consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is
love. What do you love now? The `I am'. Give your heart and mind to it,
think of nothing else. This when effortless and natural, is the highest
state. In it love itself is the lover and the beloved.

The impersonal is real, the personal appears and disappears. `I am' is the
impersonal being. `I am this' is the person. The person is relative and the
pure being – the fundamental.

By focusing the mind on `I am', on the sense of being, `I am so-and-so"
dissolves; `am a witness only' remains and that too submerges in `I am
all'. Then the all becomes the One and the One – yourself, not to be
separate from me. Abandon the idea of a separate `I' and the question of
`whose experience?' will not arise. On a deeper level my experience is your
experience. Dive deep within yourself and you will find it easily and
simply. Go in the direction of `I am'.

Cling to the one thing that matters, hold on to `I am' and let go all else.
This is `sadhana'. In realization there is nothing to hold on to and
nothing to forget. Everything is known, nothing is remembered.

At the root of everything is the feeling `I am'. The state of mind `there
is a world' is secondary, for to be I do not need the world, the world
needs me.

Beyond the mind there is no such thing as experience. Experience is a dual
state. You cannot talk of reality as an experience. Once this is
understood, you will no longer look for being and becoming as separate and
opposite. In reality they are one and separable, like roots and branches of
the same tree. Both can only exist in the light of consciousness, which
again arises in the wake of the sense `I am'. This is the primary fact. If
you miss it you miss all.

Everything is a play of ideas. In the state free from ideation (nirvikalpa
samadhi) nothing is perceived. The root idea is `I am'. It shatters the
state of pure consciousness and is followed by the innumerable sensations
and perceptions, feelings and ideas, which in their totality constitute God
and His world. The `I am' remains as the witness, but it is by the will of
God that everything happens.

The concentration on `I am' is a form of attention. Give your undivided
attention to the most important thing in your life – yourself. Of your
personal universe you are the center – without knowing the center what else
can you know?

My advice to you is very simple – just remember yourself, `I am', it is
enough to heal your mind and take you beyond, just have some trust. I don't
mislead you. Why should I? Do I want anything from you? I wish you well –
such is my nature. Why should I mislead you? Commonsense too will tell you
that to fulfill a desire you must keep your mind on it. If you want to know
your true nature, you must have yourself in mind all the time, until the
secret of your being stands revealed.

It is right to say `I am', but to say `I am this', `I am that', is a sign
of not enquiring, not examining, of mental weakness or lethargy. Practice
(sadhana) consists of reminding oneself forcibly of one's pure `beingness',
of not being anything in particular, not a sum of particulars, not even the
totality of all particulars, which make up a universe.

Be content with what you are sure of. And the only thing you can be sure of
is `I am'. Stay with it and reject everything else. This is Yoga.

The one witness reflects itself in the countless bodies as `I am'. As long
as the bodies, however subtle, last, the `I am' appears as many. Beyond the
body there is only the One.

Dearly Beloved,
WHAT MANNER OF LOVE!
"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we
should be called children of God!" (1 John 3:1 NKJV).
For some time now, many people have been talking about love, and they
will celebrate "love" on February 14, a day popularly known as "the
Valentine's Day." However, the kind of love that people are presently
talking about and that is been celebrated on February 14 is erroneous.
It is indeed "lust" not love! Even if one claims that "the Valentine's
Day" has to do with a love between a man and a woman in love (whether
married or not), the original intention of the celebration is to
demonstrate sacrificial love of one person to another.
This manner of sacrificial love was demonstrated by God. Hear Paul:
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8 NKJV). Apostle John
explained this in other words: "For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16 NKJV). This sacrificial
love made everyone who accepts it to be a child of God! It made the
person to be a heir in the kingdom of God. Such a person like a true
son, not a servant or slave, can now come boldly to the throne of God
with confidence and freedom (see Ephesians 3:12; Hebrews 4:16;
10:19-23). It is a pity that the world does not know this kind of
love, hence, the wrong celebration of the Valentine's Day.
The manner of love that God had, and is still having, for the world -
the sacrificial love - the manner of love that will give out something
tangible and indelible to the recipient should be the focus of anyone
this Valentine season and all the time. The Valentine season should
remind us of a sacrificial love that we can give not only to our loved
ones, but to everyone that we encounter. It should never be a time of
satisfying one's lustful desires.
What manner of love do you want to demonstrate this Valentine season?
In His service,
Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor).

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not
made perfect in love.

While I approach God with reverence and awe because he is the
holy and majestic God, I don't have to fear his presence. Because
of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, I know God is my Abba Father. He
longs for me to draw near him. He has shown me his heart by sending
Jesus. He has shown me his love by having Jesus die for me. If he
loves me that much, then I can trust that his desire is to save and
bless me. I don't have to fear his presence or his judgment. As his
child, his love has driven fear from my heart and replaced it with
love from his abiding presence, the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous Father, I thank you for your overwhelming
love demonstrated to me in Jesus. I thank you for providing the
atoning sacrifice for my sins and for adopting me into your family.
Father, please cast all fear from my heart and help me walk
confidently with you and for you, with character and purpose.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Faith is not the same as hope. Many time we pray in hope that God will
answer our prayers in the way we expect. But if God has not given us a
specific promise concering our request, either through a direct
promise in His word or an assurance in our heart (Ro.10:17), we really
don't know how God will answer us. If we are honest and real about
life, we have to admit that this is the case many times. After we have
prayed we wait in hope, but uncertain about the outcome. What is
certain for us is that our Father has heard our prayer, He is
almighty, all knowing, all wise and full of love for us, and that He
will answer us in the way that is really the best for us. That is our
faith in our Father.

To believe that God can do anything, or that He can do what He has
done for others, is faith in God's ability and power. But that in
itself is not the same as believing that God will actually do what we
have asked for. Has He told us He will do it, or are we just hoping
that He will do it? If He has told us in our heart then we can have
faith that it will happen just as He has said (Mt.8:13).

We shouldn't be confused between hope and faith. When we have an
assurance in our heart that what we hope for will come true, that is
faith (He.11:1). This assurance is given to us by God specifically in
different situations. We know it when we have it. But this is
different from us trying to make ourselves come to that assurance--by
repeating words from the Bible or 'positive' words and avoiding
'negative' words. That will be like us making things happen (which we
can't do; we are not gods), and not God answering our prayer through
His grace.

When we have prayed in hope, and when we are uncertain about how
things would turn out, that is when our faith in our Father will be
our strength. "We don't know the future, but we know the One who holds
the future." Just as a young child derives his confidence and strength
from his father's finger which he holds on to, we too can stand firm,
without wavering, knowing that our future is safe in our Father's
hands. Then we would be glad if our Father answers our prayer in the
way we want or the way He wants. We know He knows best, and that
knowledge helps us to have the attitude, "Not my will, Father, but
Yours."

Those who wait on God will not be disappointed (Is.49:23). We may be
disappointed when we don't get what we asked for, but we will not be
disappointed in the ultimate sense because our Father always plans for
our welfare and not for calamity (Je.29:11), and He causes even the
disappointing things that come to us to work for our eternal good (Ro.
8:28,29).

This kind of faith in our Father helps us not to be moved by things
that happen to us. People who have been taught to 'believe' that they
will always get whatever they ask for get disappointed many times, and
some of them even fall away from God. The fault is not with God, but
an unrealistic understanding of faith that they had.

Queen of Cups

Within the Suit of Cups, the card associated with PISCES is the Queen
(sometimes also referred to as the Queen of the Thrones of the
Waters). This card belongs to the Court Cards of the Tarot and is
known to be The Feeler or The Sensate One. It is the watery quality of
water, typifiying this element's passive, reflective and receptive
quality, illustrated by the fact that the figure of the Queen is
almost invisible as she is enveloped by shadowy reflections. This card
is indicative of a dreamy and romantic personality...one who gives
free rein to emotions. In short, the Queen of Cups embodies the Mother
Spirit. The individual represented by this card will be a reflection
of others, lending an illusion of dreaminess and tranquility. The
Queen of Cups gives and receives all without being emotionally
affected. As such, she represents the pinnacle of emotional maturity
and balance...she nourishes the needy. This card emphasizes the need
of individuals to open up and allow true feelings to show through.
Although there may be those who do not understand, there should be
committment and sharing with those who do. The Queen of Cups speaks of
emotional balance where both lust and love are necessary. However,
they should be balanced...the instinct of harmony with the
transcendent. Of all the cards within the Suit of Cups, it is the
Queen which is most concerned with human emotions and the fickleness
which often accompanies such characteristics. The Queens of the Tarot
represent not only women but anyone...male or female...who has reached
a level of growth and maturity on both the spiritual and material
paths. Queens are representative of power, authority, fulfillment and
competency. They are the highest of the Court Cards having attained
the loftiest of qualities symbolized within the Major Aracana. Each
Queen is depicted seated upon a throne which bears the emblem of her
respective Suit.

The hidden nature of the figure depicted on this card is symbolic of
the inability to understand on an intellectual level what can only be
felt. The lotus blossom represents a loving and compassionate
disposition...altruistic love...and the two lotuses themselves
represent emotional balance. The blue light is the light of
enlightenment...a light of emotional transformation...while the depth
of the water is indicative of emotional maturity, as well as the
depths of human emotions. The reflective nature of the Queen
represents awareness, honesty and an openness of emotions. The stork
is indicative of fertility while the shell cup contains Cancer...the
crab which is a symbol of domesticity.

In a Tarot reading, this card indicates an individual who is easily
influenced by others...one who is dreamy, imaginative and
affectionate. This will be a person who experiences emotions on a deep
level while allowing others to feel their own. It suggests tenderness
and artistic ability. It may also be representative of a woman in
love.

Reversed, it indicates frustration in love or romance...a suggestion
that emotions are exaggerated and superficial. It may also be
representative of an individual caught up in romance and seduction. In
classical mythology and lore, the Queen of Cups is associated with
Helen of Troy, wife of the Spartan King, Melelaus, and sister to
Castor and Pollux (the twins of Gemini). Credited with being the most
beautiful woman in the Ancient World, Helen was the cause of the
Trojan War.

Queen of Hearts

http://taroteca.multiply.com/photos/album/227/Folletti#121

The figure that we see in this card is immediately likeable. In fact
the aspect of the Queen is regal in terms of her clothing but her
expression is kind-hearted and sweet. One can imagine her great
sensitivity and her generous goodness.

This Queen of the Fairies wears a magnificent dress of pale lilac,
decorated around the hem with little hearts, while on her back she
caries a long red cape. She has long wavy hair, and is standing on a
green carpet. On her head she wears a precious gem-studded crown and
she holds a sceptre in her hands, the point adorned with a read heart.

The small hearts on her clothing, the heart on the sceptre and the
suit of Hearts all allude to the element of Water and therefore to
love, the emotions and sentiments.

In the Tarot of the Fairies this Queen is the symbol of kindness, of
spiritual sensitivity. Furthermore it indicates a loyal and good
friend; the same Fairy that they consult.

If you have extracted this card, consider it to be positive, as it
refers to a person who is a friend and who is sincere; a mother, a
woman who will suffer more for others than for herself, who is happy
or unhappy depending on the moods of those around her. If you are a
woman and are verifying your own response, it can also indicate
yourself.

Card Upright: An intelligent woman, honest; a woman who will sacrifice
herself for love; a friend who protects you.

Reversed: A treacherous woman, to be feared; a trap from a female; a
rival in love.

The Queen of Cups

If the Queen of Cups appears in a reading to indicate a woman, she
will be a gentle and tranquil woman, romantic by nature, generous with
her tenderness. She will be something of a day-dreamer - perhaps a bit
unrealistic, but creative and hopeful.

She is often involved in creative or literary pursuits, and enjoys
art, good music, literature and things of beauty. She is unstinting in
her readiness to nurture others, sometimes to her own detriment. She's
often connected with motherhood, and mothering.

She is often intuitive, and psychic. Her foremost ability in this area
is a talent for simply absorbing energies around her and reflecting
them back, unchanged. In this aspect she can often be a revealer for
those around her.

If she is badly aspected, however, another aspect of her personality
shows through. The gentleness and tranquillity convert to weakness and
unspoken resentment. She nurtures for the sake of inducing dependancy,
and places undue importance on being in a relationship, no matter what
its quality. She will believe herself unable to stand alone.

Her reflective quality backfires so that she begins to take on the
attitudes and thoughts of others. When this happens she begins to show
signs of feeling victimised. She might present to the world with a
poor-little-me attitude.

When the card comes up to indicate a change in some-one's response, we
see the woman in love - entering into the deepest and most emotional
realms of her personality, and returning refreshed and invigorated.

Sometimes the card will come up to indicate a woman acting as
priestess of the Goddess.

Working with the Queen of Cups

This Queen rules the realms of love and beauty - both mundane and
spiritual. She indicates the inner reflective quality which allows us
to relate to the imaginal and dreaming qualities each of us has -
though all too often rarely uses.

So on a day which is ruled by her, it is to these areas we must turn.
This is a time to reflect about love, and to seek out beauty. But
since this card is an inward looking one, in many respects, we need to
look at ourselves more than we look outside.

Seek out the lovely, loving things in you. Search for your own beauty.
Try to identify the things in yourself that you are glad to have as a
part of you. Find things about yourself which are beautiful.

One important aspect of the Queen of Cups is her ability to let us
reach inside and see things from a different perspective. She gives us
permission to be in love with and satisfied by ourselves.

And when we do feel like this about ourselves, we shine a little
brighter in the rest of the world. So everybody wins!!

Affirmation: I am a radiant loveable being.

The personality of the Queen of Cups combines the positive water
energy of the Cups suit with the inward focus of a Queen. Because she
has a sweet, loving and sensitive nature, the Queen of Cups has a kind
word for everyone and never reacts with anger or impatience. There is
a gentleness about her that soothes and calms. Compassion is her
watchword. Her reactions to the world are guided by her feelings. In
all matters, she lets her heart lead the way. She senses emotional
currents and knows what others are experiencing without having to ask.
She is never moody, but understands moods and their influence. She
trusts her intuition and so is more open to knowledge that comes from
within herself and beyond. She is often moved by the beauty and
tragedy of life. The Queen of Cups feels deeply and has a reverence
for all aspects of God's creation. Her love includes and embraces
everyone and everything.

In readings, the Queen of Cups asks you to think and feel as she does.
For example: Are you aware of the emotional climate? Are you feeling
loving? Do you trust your heart? Have you received an intuitive
message? Have you been moved by another's pain?

This Queen can also represent a man or woman who is like her, or an
atmosphere of gentle love, acceptance and respect for feelings. In a
reading, she tells you that her special energy has meaning for you at
this time. Let yourself be inspired by this Queen in whatever form she
appears in your life.

Butterfingers

Meaning

A name playfully applied to someone who fails to catch a ball or lets
something slip from their fingers.

Origin

Charles Dickens - butterfingers In the week of the bicentenary of
Charles Dickens' birth (7th February 1812), I thought it would be nice
to include a phrase coined by him. It ought not to be too difficult to
find one, after all, Dickens ranks sixth on the 'number of English
words coined by an individual author' list. Passing over contenders
like 'slow-coach' and 'cloak and dagger' I alighted on
'butterfingers', which several authorities say was invented by
Dickens. Not quite a phrase but, as it was coined as the hyphenated
'butter-fingers', it's close enough. Dickens used the term in The
Pickwick Papers (more properly calledThe Posthumous Papers of the
Pickwick Club), 1836:

At every bad attempt at a catch, and every failure to stop the ball,
he launched his personal displeasure at the head of the devoted
individual in such denunciations as 'Ah, ah! - stupid' - 'Now,
butter-fingers' - 'Muff' - 'Humbug' - and so forth.

It seemed as though that was all there was to say about the
word/phrase but, as I usually like to add a little more, I delved
further. The British Library's excellent new database of 19th century
newspapers turned up a reference to 'butter-fingers' in the Yorkshire
newspaperThe Leeds Intelligencer dated May 1823. Pre-Pickwick,
clearly. Looking closer, it appeared that the writer was quoting from
what he called 'a scarce book' - The English Housewife. Delving again,
I found that the book, written by the English writer Gervase Markham
in 1615, scarce as it may have been in 1823, is still available today.
Markham's recipe for a good housewife was:

'First, she must be cleanly in body and garments; she must have a
quick eye, a curious nose, a perfect taste, and ready ear; she must
not be butter-fingered, sweet-toothed, nor faint-hearted - for the
first will let everything fall; the second will consume what it should
increase; and the last will lose time with too much niceness.

Markham's views aren't quite what would be accepted now, any more than
his remedy for the plague - 'smell a nosegay made of the tasselled end
of a ship rope', but he does at least make it clear that
'butterfingers' was in use in 1615 with the same meaning we have for
it today, that is, someone likely to drop things - as if their hands
were smeared with butter, like a cook's.

Many of the later examples of 'butterfingers' in print relate to the
game of cricket, which was and still is the principal ball-catching
game in England. The term is often used as an amiable taunt when
someone fails to make an easy catch. As the word spread to other
countries, notably America, it was taken into the language of the
local catching game, ie baseball, and 'no-hoper' teams were unkindly
given that name. The Salt Lake Tribune reported on such a team in May
1899:

'The Butterfingers will cross bats with the Salt Lake Juniors at
Calder's Park Tuesday'.

As for Dickens, he may have missed out on 'butterfingers' but he has
many other words and phrases to lay claim to, and he did write some
exceedingly good books.

A Compendium of Feedback on the Words in A.Word.A.Day and Other
Tidbits about Words and Language

This week's Email of the Week is from Georgia Morehouse (see below),
who will get to choose an Uppityshirt, and there's a heck of a
selection.

From: Michael Tremberth (michaelt4two googlemail.com)

Subject: wastrel

Def: A good-for-nothing, wasteful person.

A useful word, concise and immediately self-explanatory, unlike its
synonym, losel. The Latin word from which wastrel is derived also gave
rise to the adjective "vastatrix", contained in the name of the vine
louse Phylloxera vastatrix, the cause of the disease that devastated
innumerable French vineyards in the 19th century and was responsible
indirectly for giving the New World an entry into the international
wine market: North American vines were immune to the disease.

Michael Tremberth, Cornwall, UK

From: James Danly (jcdanly aol.com)

Subject: Lummox

Def: A clumsy, stupid person.

Lummox is John Thomas's pet in Heinlein's The Star Beast. Smuggled to
earth as a baby, Lummox still speaks with a lisp but is now big as a
house. One of the more delightful aliens of my acquaintance.

Subject: Lummox

This word always reminds me of the folk song Sweet Betsy from Pike!
The concluding verse is:

This Pike County couple got married, of course,

But Ike became jealous, and obtained a divorce.

Betsy, well-satisfied, said with a shout,

"Goodbye, you big lummox, I'm glad you backed out!"

Petronella JC Elema, Groningen, The Netherlands

Subject: lummox

Well, now, this word hit me where I live! My mother often called me a
"clumsy lummox". Had I had as much sass in me then as I have now, I
would have told her she was being redundant, but that probably would
have earned me a thumping of some sort. It's funny how a single word
can transport you to a whole other place!

Subject: Dilettante

Def: noun: One who takes up an activity or interest in a superficial
or casual way; adjective: Superficial; amateurish.

Time was, and not so long ago at that, when athletes were required to
take an amateur oath before competing in the Olympic Games.
Professionalism was frowned upon, the word evoking condescension, not
to say condemnation.

While today 'amateur' designates one not making a living from his
hobby (yet doing it with zest), dilettante has become a term of
derision, especially when compared to the proficiency of the
professional. In Monty Python's memorable vignette the pro pugilist
Muhammad Ali, recently capped and gowned by the University of Oxford,
delivers a roundhouse punch to the amateur boxer Lord Kenneth Clark,
writer, historian, philosopher.

A well-aimed uppercut will ineluctably trump Civilization.

Subject: Re: A.Word.A.Day--dilettante

I'm a little concerned that you have been discussing my behavourial
traits with my wife. All of the words so far this week have described
my various qualities a little too well for my liking!

I hope that tomorrow's word is something along the lines of gregarious
or perspicacious.

As always I'm enjoying the word of the day email every day, and my
thanks for the daily break from work.

From: Nora Francis (narf shaw.ca)

Subject: dilettante

As a 75-year-old dinosaur who still uses the middle of the last
century as reference for social and business conventions, I offer the
tale of my personal "business cards".

A few years ago I got fed up with the way "that generation" pass out
their personal cards. It's a good idea but what I saw were all these
insecure self-absorbed little bunnies using them to say "I'm Important
and you are expected to remember that!"

So I had some printed for myself. Nice little conservative engraved
numbers -- mailing address lower right, phone number lower left. In
the centre, under my name, it says "Dilettante".

I keep forgetting that I have them but once in a long while I am moved
to pull one out of my wallet. A couple of times I've had someone look
at me blankly and ask "What's a dile-tent? A dilly-tant? What do you
do?" whereupon I hope to remember to explain that "a dilettante is
someone who knows a little bit about a lot of things and not much
about anything." Like myself, they're getting a little worn looking
after all that time in my wallet, not up to the spanking clean ones
with gilt and colour The Important People use, and most of the time
mine get left on the table with the gravy stain... but like many of
these things in our brave new world I'm learning to view their
function as being designed to give ME a smile, me me me me me, and to
heck with anyone else.

From: Margaret Love (Mllove2000 aol.com)

Subject: Roue

Def: A debauched man, especially an elderly man from a wealthy or
aristocratic family.

Ah, this one I recognized from the song Sixteen Going on Seventeen
from Sound of Music. I saw the movie when I was nine years old, bought
the soundtrack album and promptly memorized every word of every song
while re-enacting key scenes in the living room. I have always thought
that "roue" was a synonym for "cad", but now I know that a roue is a
creepy old man while a cad is a creepy young one!

Subject: Charles Dickens's quotation about cheerfulness and
contentment preserving youthful looks

On a trip to a National Park my brother handed the female guard his
license and she noticed that he did not qualify for a Senior Pass. I
quickly gave her my driver's license which showed that I was 69. The
guard, in disbelief, said "You don't look 69, what do you do?" to
which I replied, naively, "I am a scientist and an artist". "No", she
demanded "What do you do to look the way you do? What are your
secrets?" I answered "I have a happy marriage and I'm very content
with my life." Now, thanks to AWAD, I have the affirmation of Charles
Dickens to support my analysis: "Cheerfulness and contentment are
great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks".

Subject: Poseur

Def: One who behaves in an affected manner to impress others.

Is 'poseur' what affected people say to impress others when they call
them 'posers'?

Margaret Teusch, Provo, Utah

From: John Ayer (john_ayer comcast.net)

Subject: names of writers (Re AWADmail 500)

In reference to Samuel Butler and Samuel Butler, and the suggestion
that no two writers should have the same name, Winston Churchill,
grandson of the Duke of Marlborough, became a published author, and
learned that an American novelist named Winston Churchill had become
rich and famous (in America), and according to legend wrote to him and
suggested that the other man should write under a different name, to
avoid confusion. The American wrote back to agree that they should not
both publish under the same name, and as he had been using the name
three years longer (born in 1871 vs. 1874), the younger man should
change. Thereafter the younger man signed his works as Winston S.
Churchill (the American had only two names).

John Ayer, Norwich, Connecticut

FEBRUARY 12, 2012
6TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME – B

Lv 13:1-2, 44-46 / 1Cor 10:31-11:1 / Mk 1:40-45, Green

LEVITICUS 13:1-2, 44-46
Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "If someone has a boil, an
inflammation or a sore on his skin which could develop into leprosy,
he must be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his
descendants. this means that the man is leprous: he is unclean. The
priest shall declare him unclean; he is suffering from leprosy of the
head. A person infected with leprosy must wear torn clothing and leave
his hair uncombed; he must cover his upper lip and cry, "Unclean, un
clean." As long as the disease lasts he must be unclean; and therefore
he must live away from others: he must live outside the camp.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:31-11:1
Then, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it for the
glory of God. Give no offense to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the
Church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything. I do
not seek my own interest, but that of many, this is: that they be
saved. Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ.

MARK 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and begged him, "If you want to, you can make
me clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched
him, saying, "I do want to; be clean." The leprosy left the man at
once and he was made clean. As Jesus sent the man away, he sternly
warned him, "Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show yourself to
the priest, and for the cleansing bring the offering ordered by Moses;
in this way you will give to them your testimony." However, as soon as
the man went out, he began spreading the news everywhere, so that
Jesus could no longer openly enter any town. But even though he stayed
in the rural areas, people came to him from everywhere.

REFLECTION
Leprosy was a dreaded disease, less because of the physical harm and
more because of the social harm it inflicts. Incurable, the leper must
live alone, away from his family. Many Jews regarded leprosy as a
punishment from God for sins committed. This leper must have felt
forsaken by God and hated by humanity every day of his life. Then he
heard about Jesus, he with the healing powers and miracles, in the
neighborhood; and he said: "Here's my chance to ask God for help and
healing!" He bravely yet humbly approached Jesus, fell on his knees,
and said: "Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean." The Gospel
says: "Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched
the man." And he said five of the most beautiful words in all of
scripture. "I am willing. Be clean."

In this is a remarkable verse, we see the compassion of Christ. He
really does feel what we are going through, and He really does care.
He was willing to make himself ceremonially unclean so that the leper
could be clean – a preview of what will happen to him on the cross.
With five simple words and a touch of his hand, Jesus saved this man
and healed him physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

When Jesus died for our sins, he took upon himself all of our
uncleanness, so that we could be cleansed by his blood. Jesus did not
need to touch this man in order to heal him. He could have healed him
from a great distance. But Jesus touched this man as a tangible
expression of his compassion.

This passage is not meant to teach us that it is always God's will to
heal every disease. It is meant to teach us that Jesus is willing to
do whatever it takes to make us clean before Almighty God. The word of
the Lord for us is that "I am willing to make your life beautiful once
again. I am able to save you in every way that a person can be saved.
I am willing to do tremendous acts of righteousness in your life."
That is what Jesus does for us.

The Gospel says that when Jesus uttered the words of healing,
immediately the leprosy left the leper and he was cured. When Jesus
touches our lives, immediately our sins are cleansed and washed away.
We are adopted into the family of God. The Holy Spirit comes upon us.

The reason Jesus told the man not to spread the news of his healing
was that Jesus was not interested in becoming a celebrity healer,
unlike preachers on TV who enjoy the celebrity status associated with
their ministries. Another reason was that Jesus did not want to thrill
people into belief. He knows that real faith happens when people are
convinced by his teaching, not by the spectacle of seeing someone get
healed. St. Paul would say: "Faith comes by hearing the message, and
the message is heard through the word of Christ." That day, Jesus did
an amazing thing in the life of that Jewish leper. Jesus wants us to
know that he is willing to do great things in our lives as well.

From this story about the leper, we must realize that Jesus has the
power to cleanse. In many ways, leprosy is like sin. Sin does its
worst damage by eating away at us, penetrating deep inside, causing us
eventually to lose all feeling toward what is good and right. Sin will
cause us to be isolated from God's people, from God himself. And
eventually, like leprosy, sin will destroy us. Just like the leper, we
alone cannot rid ourselves of sin. We go to Jesus, as this leper did,
and we say, "I want to be cleansed."

*"Sri Ram is an ocean of love, sweet as nectar. Ours is to drink out of it,
every second of our existence. We live, move and have our being in that
ocean. He fills our body from top to toe; He pervades the whole universe.
In fact all forms are made of Him, i.e., of that Infinite Love. Supreme
Anandam is the one characteristic of this nectar-like love. He is all. He
is all. He is simply glorious!" *

The History of the Magician Card

The Magician in historic tarot decks conveys a somewhat different
archetype than in the modern decks. There are two kinds of magician.
One is the magus, master of metaphysical secrets and ancient
knowledge, calling on the powers of the cosmos to bend reality in
accordance with his will. The other is the stage magician, the
conjurer, the entertainer, the charlatan. Although the two visions of
the magician can mix and interact in fascinating ways, it is accurate
to say that in modern decks we usually see the magus; in the historic
decks we usually see the stage magician.

This character is the fast-talking, attention-grabbing, flamboyant
stuffed shirt who cons passers-by out of their money using sleight of
hand and clever prattle. He is the ancestor of the man in the black
tophat and waxed mustache, of PT Barnum, and of every two-bit hustler
who hopes to make the big score.

The Waite-Smith and other occult decks introduced some changes that
helped bring out the magus archetype. What is fascinating, though, is
that only relatively minor changes were needed to effect the
transformation.

The classic Marseilles-type Magician (see the Tarot de Besancon image
here) holds up a wand in one hand; it's a standard stage prop. His
other hand is busy at the table, perhaps ready to rearrange the cups
and balls while our eyes are on the wand. In the Waite-Smith deck,
though, the second hand points to the Earth, making the magician a
channel for drawing down energies from the higher planes.

In the modern decks, the Magician's table almost invariably shows the
four suit symbols: a sword, a wand, a cup, and a pentacle. At first
glance, the Magician's table in the historic decks just seems
cluttered with juggler's props and tools, which do not resemble the
suit symbols at all in the way they are rendered. And yet, with an
uncanny eeriness that gives one pause for thought, they are all there
in less conspicuous form: the staff or baton is present in
miniaturized form as the magician's wand; the swords are likewise
present in the form of a knife or two (which the magician would use
for cutting rope or twine); the cups are present, not as ornate
goblets but as small tumblers for use in the shell game; and there are
often coins on the table, or if not, at least small balls, rendered as
simple circles in the woodcut designs.

It is details like these that make the historic tarots so delightfully
intriguing. Perhaps the props on his table are just the routine
apparatus of his trade. But can we rule out that the woodblock carver,
who after all would have carved out each suit symbol 59 times (!) in
producing the minor arcana for the deck, would have had them well
ingrained in his mind (and hands!) to the extent that they resurface
here? Or perhaps some long-forgotten designer put them there on
purpose for reasons no longer known, and they were copied routinely
for centuries.

The lemniscate over the Magician's head in modern decks is a
consequence of French occultist Elpiphas Levi's musings on the shape
of the Magician's hat in the old decks. Since many of the court cards
also wear hats of this design, it is unlikely that early designers saw
any special significance in the headware.

The Magician in the historic decks is connected with another archetype
as well; that of the craftsman or artisan, as we see in the Tarocchi
del Mantegna prints. Remarkbaly once again, just a small change of
design is needed to transform the "man behind a table cluttered with
tools" from juggler con-man to industrious jeweller or cobbler. Do
these two seemingly different characters have anything at all in
common, aside from a superficial similarity in props in pose? I think
so. The tarot dates from times when the ancient feudal system had been
intruded on and transformed by an ever more important middle class of
artisans, merchants, and others "out for themselves" in the world.
Such people were not well respected. The great artists of the
Renaissance, whose paintings and sculptures are now seen as priceless
masterpieces of what is highest in the human spirit, were in their own
time lumped together with the cobblers, housepainters, tailors, and
others who worked with their hands to provide purely utilitarian goods
and services. So both the juggler/magician and the artisan/craftsman
were "nobodies" operating outside the formal hierarchical world of the
nobility, yet neither were they serfs or slaves; indeed they might be
wealthy enough (or clever enough) to carry influence out of proportion
to their social status.

The original Italian name for the Magician, Bagatella (or Bagatto or
Bagatino) is a not a commonplace word in Italian. It is apparently
derived from the word for stick or wand, so that a Bagatella is
someone who uses a wand, hence a magician. The French name for the
card, Bateleur, is thus a close translation. The English "Magician" is
a clumsy but serviceable analog. ("Juggler" or "Mountebank" are also
fair renderings.) Probably because of long association with the tarot
card, the Italian word has also come to mean a trifle or a thing of
little worth. It is also a word for "cobbler" in the dialect of Milan.
This is interesting because Milanese tarots for the last two centuries
have depicted the Magician as a cobbler, complete with a half-made
shoe on his work table (see the Soprafino Tarot). Which came first,
the picture or the word? We can't say, but it is intriguing to
speculate that the Milanese design may be a throwback to the "artisan"
pictured in the Tarocchi del Mantegna. The Milanese designs include
another enertaining feature: instead of a wand, the Bagatto holds up
one of the cups from his table, presumably well filled with wine.

The Magician card, like the Fool, has a very special role in the game
of tarot which deserves comment. In the game, the court cards are all
worth points, but the trumps are generally not. The only exceptions
are the World, the Magician, and the Fool, which are each worth as
much as kings, making them among the most valuable cards in the game.
Now if you are dealt the Fool or World, those points are guaranteed to
you, because neither of those cards can be captured during play. The
Magician, on the other hand, is extremely vulnerable to being
captured, because it is outranked by all the other trumps. So to win a
trick with the Magician, the other players must all play suit cards,
not trumps. This is not an easy thing to arrange. It can happen only
if (a) you are out of a particular suit that everyone else still has,
or (b) everyone else is completely out of trumps. If neither of those
conditions occur, you will likely lose the Magician (and all its
points) to some other player. So arranging an opportunity to play the
Magician card without losing it is a major component of tarot
strategy.

One can generally not count on the lucky opportunity of running out of
a suit that others still have, although it is easy enough to take
advantage of the opportunity if you are the last one to play in a
given trick. More challenging and fun is saving the Magician until
everyone else has run out of trumps. (For this to work, you must be
dealt many of the trumps to begin with--if not, you are likely to run
out early yourself.) You hold the Magician card until the end of the
game, when you hope all the other players will be defenseless against
it. Furthermore, the way the game works, players are often caught
holding court cards through the middle of the game, because it is too
risky to play them when they might be captured by a trump. So at the
end of the game, players are finally forced to play their valuable
court cards. There is no greater glee in the game than taking a
handful of royalty by playing the Magician in the last trick. This
feature is so prominent that in most versions of the game, a player
who pulls this maneuver off gets a hefty point bonus!

Even in the French-suited "tarrock" decks, in which the traditional
trump designs have all been replaced by animals or scenes of country
life, the Magician card still often depicts a flashy magician-like
character, so strong is the association between the card's role in the
game and the "personality" of the magician.

I go into this detail of the game because (believe it or not) I think
it adds a great deal to our understanding of the character of the
card. The Magician is a coward, a swindler, and a cheat. He lives by
his wits. All the other cards of the major arcana depict high earthly
rulers (Pope and Emperor, for example) or archetypal powers (like
Love, Death, and Time), which are unambiguously superior to the kings,
queens, and knights of the court. Only the Magician, as an ignoble
commoner, cannot "logically" triumph over royalty. By his powers of
illusion, dexterity, and fast talk, though, he can capture them! As if
his portrayal on the card were not enough to make the point clear, the
rules of the game are contrived so that the Magician lurks secretively
throughout the entire hand, waiting for the great powers of the cosmos
to play themselves out; he appears by surprise at the end to capture a
veritable hoard of royalty who were too cautious or inept to enter the
fray of the early part of the game. I think the game of tarot is full
of wry social and metaphysical ironies of this type. The Magician is
the ultimate manipulator. Although without nobility or rank, he rakes
in his victory by unabashedly exploiting the rules of the game of
life.

Having taken this historical perspective on the Magician card, one
might find it easy to write off the "magus" persona as an unworthy
occultist intrusion on the earlier tradition. But that would be to
miss some very interesting avenues of thought. For although magus and
charlatan are very different characters, their paths have been
profoundly intertwined throughout human history. From ancient Greece
down to the present day, charlatans have posed as magi--and magi have
posed as charlatans! Writers of the late Renaissance bemoan the
problems of distinguishing true alchemists from frauds. Even today,
tarot enthusiasts find themselves needing to emphasize the distinction
between legitimate card reading and the exploitative scams that are
exposed by the TV journalists. But what makes one reading legitimate
and another bogus? Is it the method? The intention? The grace of the
gods?

My thoughts are drawn back to The Wizard of Oz (movie version).
Professor Marvel is a charlatan, but one with a heart of gold. In
Dorothy's dream, he becomes the Great and Powerful Oz, who alone can
make her wishes come true. In the end, she finds that power in
herself, and the professor is no longer either charlatan or magus, but
just a well-meaning old man who knows how to get a lot of mileage out
of a few clever words and old props. In the end, he uses his
theatrical gifts to help Dorothy's friends discover what they've
carried within themselves all the time. And isn't that a form of magic
that reunites charlatan and magus?

The Magician is the "front man" for the tarot deck. In the Tarocco
Siciliano, we see him dealing a pack of cards! Disreputable,
commonplace but mysterious, ambitious but charming, a hustler,
inventor, and showman. Is he a Power or a Poser? Perhaps there is
power in the pose . . .

The Magus

The Magician is normally numbered one and is sometimes called the
Magus. The Magician is usually depicted as a powerful adept, a master
of the four elements. He is able to shift events in his favour - to
make the World change around him according to his Will.

He is highly skilled, highly powerful and hence a highly dynamic and
charismatic figure. He is that part of us which we harness to control
our own lives. When we are the Magician we make what we want happen.

However, you can be sure that we receive exactly what we ask for - "be
careful what you pray for, you might just get it"! The Magician knows
where to throw the pebble into the pool of the Universe in order to
get exactly the ripples he wants. If we choose happiness and joy and
put our Will behind them, that is what we can achieve.

Working with The Magus

The Magus, at his highest level of interpretation, indicates the
intricate and complex web of influences that binds the Universe to
itself, and to all else. This is essentially a card about
communication, but on the subtle levels beyond the material world.

If you want to manifest your heart's desire into the mundane world,
you will have to come to terms with the actuality, the workings and
the efficient manipulation of this web, understanding its laws and
vagaries.

This web is what causes so-called 'coincidences', or those freak
connections that we make right when we most need them. It is this
system that brings the teacher to the student at exactly the right
time, puts the very book we need on the bookshelf just when we needed
it, draws the right person into our lives at the opportune moment.

You can see, therefore, how essential it is if you want to achieve
your highest possible destiny, that you develop your understanding of
the web of life. And in so doing, become a magus of sorts yourself.

So on a day ruled by the Magus, we need to be experimenting with the
way this web works. We need to look at the thoughts we are
transmitting ourselves - because what goes around comes around,
remember? What we put out eventually finds its way back to us -
coloured by everything it has touched along the way. This is the
single most practical reason for positive thinking!!

We need to consider our overall direction and the things we are doing
to fulfil our aspirations. We need to look at how every single action
we take can be made into an act of magick. People miss this concept
all the time. Yet holding the idea in the forefront of your mind
changes the way that you approach your daily activities.

So acting with intent is another thing we can practise on the day of
the Magus. For instance, if you cook a meal, cook it with the
intention that it will sustain the very spirit of those who eat it. If
you do the washing up, do it remembering that you are washing away the
stains of the world. If you are driving to see a friend, regard the
journey as another step in your growth and development. Get the idea?
Practise everything with intent. From personal experience, let me tell
you it really gets the mundane stuff done quickly, efficiently and
with a full heart.

Also when working the affirmation for today, remember one thing - if
you aren't happy with your life the way you've made it so far, the
Magus releases the power within you to make it something happier and
more satisfying. All you have to do is begin........

Affirmation: My life is everything I make it.

THE MAGICIAN

Attribution - Mercury (rules Gemini and Virgo; exalts in Virgo)

The Magician is represented by the number 1, which is the beginning of
creation and the initiation of materializing your ideas.

Rider-Waite Imagery

The magician stands behind a table. His left hand holds a white double
pointed wand in the air. His right hand is pointed down to the ground.

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite (1911)

Part I: The Veil and its Symbols

1.. The Magus, Magician, or juggler, the caster of the dice and
mountebank, in the world of vulgar trickery. This is the colportage
interpretation, and it has the same correspondence with the real
symbolical meaning that the use of the Tarot in fortune-telling has
with its mystic construction according to the secret science of
symbolism. I should add that many independent students of the subject,
following their own lights, have produced individual sequences of
meaning in respect of the Trumps Major, and their lights are sometimes
suggestive, but they are not the true lights. For example, Eliphas
Levi says that the Magus signifies that unity which is the mother of
numbers; others say that it is the Divine Unity; and one of the latest
French commentators considers that in its general sense it is the
will.

Part II: The Doctrine Behind the Veil

A youthful figure in the robe of a magician, having the countenance of
divine Apollo, with smile of confidence and shining eyes. Above his
head is the mysterious sign of the Holy Spirit, the sign of life, like
an endless cord, forming the figure 8 in a horizontal position . About
his waist is a serpent-cincture, the serpent appearing to devour its
own tail. This is familiar to most as a conventional symbol of
eternity, but here it indicates more especially the eternity of
attainment in the spirit. In the Magician's right hand is a wand
raised towards heaven, while the left hand is pointing to the earth.
This dual sign is known in very high grades of the Instituted
Mysteries; it shews the descent of grace, virtue and light, drawn from
things above and derived to things below. The suggestion throughout is
therefore the possession and communication of the Powers and Gifts of
the Spirit. On the table in front of the Magician are the symbols of
the four Tarot suits, signifying the elements of natural life, which
lie like counters before the adept, and he adapts them as he wills.
Beneath are roses and lilies, the flos campi and lilium convallium,
changed into garden flowers, to shew the culture of aspiration. This
card signifies the divine motive in man, reflecting God, the will in
the liberation of its union with that which is above. It is also the
unity of individual being on all planes, and in a very high sense it
is thought, in the fixation thereof. With further reference to what I
have called the sign of life and its connexion with the number 8, it
may be remembered that Christian Gnosticism speaks of rebirth in
Christ as a change "unto the Ogdoad." The mystic number is termed
Jerusalem above, the Land flowing with Milk and Honey, the Holy Spirit
and the Land of the Lord. According to Martinism, 8 is the number of
Christ.

On This Day:

Saturday February 11, 2012

This is the 42nd day of the year, with 324 days remaining in 2012.

Fact of the Day: pink and blue

Researchers say that in Anglo-Saxon Britain, in the 5th and 6th
centuries, boy babies were more prized than girls. The belief spread
that evil spirits would visit the cradle and harm or carry off a boy
child. Blue, a power color representing the sky, would scare away an
evil spirit. Later, in Germany, a widespread legend held that girl
babies sprang from a pink rose and it became customary to dress baby
girls in pink. That custom merged with the British one of dressing
boys in blue.

Holidays

Feast day of Saints Saturninus and Dativus, St. Benedict of Aniane,
St. Gregory II, pope, St. Caedmon, St. Pascal, pope, St. Lazarus of
Milan, St. Lucius of Adrianople, and St. Severinus of Agaunum.

Subject: [granthraj] Attraction to Instructions of Spiritual Master
To: "granthraj@yahoogroups.com" <granthraj@yahoogroups.com>

Dear Prabhujis and Matajis,
Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila
Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev!

On Feb 2nd 2012, we observed the Tirobhava of our beloved spiritual master
H H Srila Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj. We pray to Supreme Lord that we be
attracted all the time, only to one thing, that is the divine instructions
of our spiritual master so that we can become completely obedient to him.
Srila Narottama das thakura sings

*guru-mukha-padma-vaakya / cittete koriyaa aikya,
aar naa koriha mane aashaa *
"*Make the teachings from the lotus mouth of the spiritual master one with
your heart, and do not desire anything else*."

At the end of Dvaapar Yuga, when Lord Krishna departed to Goloka
Vrindavana, Arjuna took the same resolution out of deep feelings of
separation from Krishna, who was not only his dear friend and Supreme Lord,
but was also his beloved spiritual master. In Srimad Bhagavatam verse
1.15.27 he says,

*desha-kaalaartha-yuktaani / hrt-taapopashamaani ca
haranti smaratash cittam / govindaabhihitaani me *
"*Now I am attracted to those instructions imparted to me by the
Personality of Godhead [Govinda] because they are impregnated with
instructions for relieving the burning heart in all circumstances of time
and space*."

This verse has a subtle, but most important formula for success in
devotional service, especially when we are not able to associate with
spiritual master. Srila Prabhupada says in purport of this verse that
"*Bhagavad-Gita,
or any authentic scriptural sound representation of the Lord, is also the
incarnation of the Lord. There is no difference between the sound
representation of the Lord and the Lord Himself. One can derive the same
benefit from the Bhagavad-Gita as Arjuna did in the personal presence of
the Lord*." The same is true for spiritual Master. The spiritual master's
vani, is nondifferent from himself. Everyone may not get the personal
association with spiritual master. But we know that associating with his
instruction is non-different from his personal association. When spiritual
master is physically present in front of our eyes, we are naturally
attracted to him and obedience is automatic. But when he is not physically
with us, because of our ignorance and bodily conception, we tend to become
disobedient. This verse shows us the way out of this. Like Arjuna, our sole
attraction must be towards Guru's divine instructions. The word "now" in
the translation is very important. *"Now" means "Not later", "No
procrastination". Let us not take this resolution tomorrow or later. Now,
Now and Now, we must be attracted to these divine spiritual instructions of
our spiritual master*. And this attraction must be '*desha kaalaartha
yuktaani*' which means it must persist in all the *desha* (all locations)
and *kaala* (all times).

Maharaj says, "*Obedience is greatest remembrance of Krishna*." Being
obedient means to dovetail our goals, desires, and our activities in line
with his divine instructions. The most desirable goal for us is to fulfill
the goals set by our spiritual master. The most beautiful desire for us is
to serve Maharaj by being obedient to his instructions. Our activities, our
behavior must be according to Maharaj's liking. Spiritual master is the
mercy incarnation of Lord. The mercy comes to us in the form of his divine
instructions. The way to receive his mercy as his disciples is to have one
pointed attraction to his divine instructions. Unless we have attraction,
we cannot have attention to his instructions. Attraction and attention
would bring obedience and remembrance. Sri Naradji's success in devotional
service is well known to all of us. He has disclosed his success formula in
verse Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.5.29.

*tasyaivam me 'nuraktasya / prashritasya hatainasah
shraddadhaanasya baalasya / daantasyaanucarasya ca *
"*I was very much attached to those sages. I was gentle in behavior, and
all my sins were eradicated in their service. In my heart I had strong
faith in them. I had subjugated the senses, and I was strictly following
them with body and mind*."

Srila Prabhupada says in purport that, "*A neophyte devotee must faithfully
serve the pure devotee, and he should be very much obedient and strictly
follow the instructions. These are the signs of a devotee who is determined
to achieve success even in the existing duration of life*." So let us
resolve that we will

1. be attracted and attached to the instructions of the spiritual master - (
*anuraktasya*)
2. be faithful to him - (*shraddadhaanasya*)
3. subjugate all other attractions of our material senses - (*daantasya*)
4. be obedient - *prashritasya*
5. strictly follow his instructions with our body as well as mind - (*
anucarasya*)

and this we should do at all places and times - (*desa-kaalaartha-yuktaani*).

This will ensure constant remembrance of Supreme Lord (*smaratash cittam*)
which will take us all to Krishna's abode where we can personally associate
with Srila Gurudev, Srila Prabhupada and Supreme Lord Krishna, and serve
Them with all our hearts.

Thank you very much.
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev,
Sadashiv Krishna das,
Abudhabi.

*Moderator's note*: HG Sadashiva krishna prabhuji is a very sincere devotee
who is living in Abudhabi with his wife and two children. They are
worshiping a beautiful Laddu Gopalji and Mataji is expert in stitching
dresses for the deities. Prabhuji is very sincere in the study of Srimad
Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam and he has got so many wonderful
realizations which he shares in the discussions in the classes in Abu
dhabi. He sings Krishna kirtana with deep feelings and it at once touches
the hearts of all the living entities. He is unique in that he is very
humble, gentle, soft spoken, very loving and pleasing in his relationship
with everyone.

1 Corinthians 13:8  Love never fails.

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments." Matthew 22:37-40

First

Strains of an old rhyme that we used to jump rope to came drifing up
from the back of the car, where the kids were teasing with each
other…. first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes _ with the
baby carriage.

First comes love. This morning the scripture verse on my calendar
read: "The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, and peace". LOVE, joy,
and peace. First is love. Love is most important. Without it, can we
have the others?

Thinkin' this over, "surely all of these; indeed everything, flows
from the fountain of Love. Love is the prerequisite to the others.
There is no joy without love, no peace without love...."

The 13th chapter of Corinthians is the great 'Love chapter' quoted
often at weddings ("And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love."). And 1st John, chapter 4, is
loaded with 'Love', especially 7-12 and 16-18.

Yes, the evidence in believers' lives is "love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-
control." (Galatians 5:22) And first comes Love.

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

MEMORIAL, OUR LADY OF LOURDES
SATURDAY 5TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME – YEAR II

1 Kgs 12:26-32;13:33-34 / Mk 8:1-10, Green/*White

1 KINGS 12:26-32; 13:33-34
Jeroboam thought, "The kingdom could return to the house of David.
Should this people go up to offer sacrifices in Yahweh's House in
Jerusalem, their heart would turn again to their master, Rehoboam king
of Judah. They would kill me and go back to him." And so the king
sought advice and made two golden calves. Then he said to the people,
"You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough. Here are your gods,
O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt." He put one of
these in Bethel, the other in Dan. And so Jeroboam made the people
sin; the people went as far as Dan to accompany one of them. Jeroboam
also built temples on high places, appointing priests who were not
from the Levites. Jeroboam also appointed a feast on the fifteenth day
of the eighth month in imitation of the feast in Judah, and he himself
offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel and sacrificed
to the calves that he had made; there he placed priests for the high
places he had made. After this, however, Jeroboam did not abstain from
doing evil. Instead he made priests for the high places from among the
people; he consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest for the high
places. And this became the sin of the family of Jeroboam for which it
was to be cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.

MARK 8:1-10
Soon afterwards Jesus was in the midst of another large crowd, that
obviously had nothing to eat. So he called his disciples and said to
them, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me
for three days and now have nothing to eat. If I send them to their
homes hungry, they will faint on the way; some of them have come a
long way." His disciples replied, "Where, in a deserted place like
this, could we get enough bread to feed these people?" He asked them,
"How many loaves have you?" And they answered, "Seven." Then he
ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves
and giving thanks, he broke them, and handed them to his disciples to
distribute. And they distributed them among the people. They also had
some small fish, so Jesus said a blessing, and asked that these be
shared as well. The people ate and were satisfied. The broken pieces
were collected, seven wicker baskets full of leftovers. Now those who
had eaten were about four thousand in number. Jesus sent them away,
and immediately got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the
region of Dalmanutha.

REFLECTION
The readings today provide seemingly contrasting images of God. In the
first, He is seen as a destroyer, punishing Jeroboam for his evil
ways. In the Gospel, the Lord is compassionate, nourishing four
thousand tired and famished people. What we need to understand here is
that there is definitely no inconsistency when it comes to the ways of
our loving God.

Jeroboam met his destruction not only because he sinned, but more due
to his conscious actions. He didn't try to rectify his misconduct nor
even feel any remorse. Given these, how could God justifiably help
Jeroboam avert the natural consequences of his flawed decisions?

The gift of free will requires that we make our own choices. Only then
does God respond in ways that are appropriate for us, as exemplified
by Jesus' feeding the hungry multitude. When at times we find Him
contradictory, could it be because we were the ones who chose the
wrong options rather than God being unreliable?

In our daily struggles, let us beseech the Lord for wisdom to make
right decisions while strengthened with the knowledge that He is
always there for us, the one true constant in our lives.

FEBRUARY 10, 2012
MEMORIAL, ST. SCHOLASTICA
FRIDAY 5TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME – YEAR II

1 Kgs 11:29-32; 12:1 / Mk 7:31-37

1 KINGS 11:29-32; 12:1
Once, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah of
Shiloh found him on the road. The two of them were alone in the open
country when Ahijah, who had a new garment on, clutched and tore it
into twelve pieces. He then said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces for
yourself for this is the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel: `I am
about to tear the kingdom from Solomon's hands to give you ten tribes.
Only one tribe shall be left to him for the sake of my servant David
and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of
Israel. Rehoboam went to Shechem because all Israel had gathered there
to make him king.

MARK 7:31-37
Again Jesus set out: from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon
and, skirting the sea of Galilee, he came to the territory of
Decapolis. There a deaf man, who also had difficulty in speaking, was
brought to him. They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him. Jesus took
him apart from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears, and
touched his tongue with spittle. Then, looking up to heaven, he
groaned and said to him, "Ephphata!" that is, "Be opened!" And
immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he
began to speak clearly. Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone about
it, but the more he insisted, the more they proclaimed it. The people
were completely astonished and said, "He has done all things well; he
makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

REFLECTION
St. Scholastica was born in Nurcia, Italy. What is known of her comes
from the dialogue of St. Gregory the Great. She was the twin sister of
St. Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine order, and was as devoted
to Christ as she was to her brother. When St. Benedict established his
monastery in Monte Casino, Scholastica also founded her convent
nearby, about 5 miles south of her brother's monastery. The convent is
said to have been under the direction of her brother. According to St.
Gregory, "Death did not separate the bodies of these two, whose minds
had also been united in the Lord." A most commonly told story about
them was that, once a year, Scholastica would visit Benedict at a
place near the abbey and would spend the entire day worshipping and
discussing sacred texts. One time after supper, while continuing their
conversation, Benedict insisted on leaving despite her plea for him to
stay and continue their discussion. Scholastica prayed for a strong
rain to make it impossible for Benedict to leave. Three days later,
from his cell, Benedict saw the soul of his sister leave the earth and
ascend to heaven in the form of a dove.

St. Scholastica is the patron saint of nuns and convulsive children.
She is also invoked against storm and rain.

PRAYER REQUESTS
We pray …
… for a deep and profound respect for life, especially for the

… for families who are in need of healing
… for world peace and reconciliation.

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers
and for those who need our prayers the most.

Have a good day!

Bus from Lawn Movers
77-year-old retiree is very pleased with his offspring. Go to the bus
can climb 5 people and a driver.

Briton Derek Dzhekevey by conventional lawnmowers designed luxurious
red bus, which can sit five people and a driver.
In this work a 77-year-old resident of the county of Norfolk has spent
four years.

"Make this bus cost me several thousand pounds," - he said.

With the electricity pensioner has helped to understand the son of
Duncan. In the bus, as expected, working headlights and interior
lighting.
With the body set up by Derek, a driver from his seat could open the
back passenger door.

Note, the former lawn mower does not have official permission to
travel on British roads. However Dzhekevay himself gave his creation
the number LH 23 GCD, in honor of his date and place of birth -
London, July 1934 twenty-third of the year. How to write the British
media, the bus brought the family of Derek's a lot of fun. Now he is
forced to look for him a new owner.

So, SAI FRIENDS- "NEVER LOOSE HOPE"

Vinay Patel

DEAR SAI DEVOTEES,

I would like to narrate my wonderful experience of SRI SAIBABA'S MIRACLE
which happened today. I am bogged down due to so many financial
committments
and this month has been the worst period of my life. I asked SAI for help
as always
as I have nobody to turn to and he has been my only guiding light since
seventeen years.
I had just enough money to reach office and was wondering how I would reach
backhome.
without money and was very hesitant to borrow from my colleagues. As my
tension mounted
there came a message on my mobile from my bank that some amount was
credited to my a/c
I thought it was a mix up as my bank balance was nil in the morning. To my
surprise it was
confirmed that I had sufficient funds for my immediate needs and still do
not know how that
amount was credited to my a/c may be it is the annual interest which has
to be clarified.
..whatever it may be SAI's timely help can never be forgotten .THANK YOU
BABA I WILL FACE
ANY ADVERSITY WHEN YOU ARE WITH ME. PLEASE MAKE ME VISIT YOUR ABODE
SHIRDI AT THE EARLIEST.

MANJULA RAGHURAM

Clear Thinking - BK Mike George
Will YOU Be My Valentine?

With February 14th fast approaching it's that time again, in many cultures,
for lovers to express their love for each other with cards, flowers and
miniature candle holding cupids! Millions of the 'shy and nervous' will
pluck up the courage to declare their love and ask for another's affections
with the big question, "Will you be my Valentine?". It appears that no one
quite knows exactly when the Valentine's Day 'invitation to love' started!
It seems somewhere back in ancient Roman times there were some early
Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine whose name has echoed through the
ages as it gradually became to synonymous with love and romance.

In a recent interview with the Mallorca Magazine (in German) the 14th
Februay inspired 'fourteen' questions. Somehow it seems unlikely the
answers will be echoed quite so far and wide. Yet it's always useful to
explore one of the favourite topics in every culture.

*1 What does St Valentine's Day mean to you?*

At the risk of extracting the soft, fragrant and romantic heart out of an
opportunity to declare our love for another it seems that gradually, over
the decades, St Valentine's Day has become less and less to do with love.
Apart from the many authentically unconditional 'gestures of giving', it
has obviously become another annual festival which attempts to turn
something that is truly spiritual and humanly profound into just another
commodity from which to profit. And I suspect that the love referred to
during gestures inspired by Valentines' Day are not really love but more to
do with personal 'desire' and/or an affirmation of 'possession'. I say
this after many years of research into the truth about love and the
discovery that it seems 'love' is a word we use a lot, but in most
instances we really 'mean' something else!

*2. In your book 'The 7 Myths about Love' you explain many misconceptions /
misinterpretations about 'Love'. What do you consider as people's main
confusions about 'love'? *

The main confusion is that love is something that has to be acquired from
outside our self. This is what underlies the habit of craving the
attention, approval and acceptance of others. It means some kind of sorrow
is inevitable when we don't always get what we want from others. Love is
also confused with attachment. But if we are just a little self aware when
we become attached to anything or anyone we will notice the emotion of fear
arises - fear of loss or damage - and fear is the opposite of love. It's
fear that chases love away. Fear is stress. That's also why we are each
entirely responsible for the creation of our own stress.

*3. What role do advertisements and movies play as a 'source' for all these
misconceptions of love?*

There are two industries in the world that sustain the many myths about
love - entertainment and marketing. It's their job to keep us under the
spell that love is 'required' and that it can be 'acquired' and that
attachment is necessary to find happiness. The entertainment industry
keeps alive the myth of romantic love which says that you have to find the
'perfect mate' to find love. And it's the role of marketing to influence
and encourage our attachment to 'the product', to 'fall in love' with their
creation!

*4. Why are people so addicted to emotional stimulation? *

All emotion (love is not an emotion) comes from some form of attachment.
The three main 'families of emotion' are fear, anger and sadness. If you
activate your 'inner detective' in the form of your self awareness, you
would find that each of these three emotions always have their roots in
attachment to someone or something. And these are the emotions that
constitute all human suffering at mental and emotional levels. But we have
come to believe they are natural so we don't do anything to free our self
from our emotional suffering. Then we just become attached to these
emotions believing that they make us feel alive. In truth they are
different forms of unhappiness that we unknowingly use to kill our freedom
of spirit and to sabotage our 'lightness of being'.

*5. The divorce-rate has increased immensely during the last few years -
what do you consider the main reasons for this development?*

Many people enter what you might call an 'intimate relationship' with the
wrong motive. They want something from the other for themselves. They
want and expect the other to 'make them happy'. This is a big mistake.
Life is not set up for others to make us happy but for us to find the inner
strength and resources where we generate our own happiness, our own
contentment. But don't say it too loudly to anyone in the 'happiness
industry!' They are likely to make themselves somewhat unhappy at such an
idea! Such is the power of the illusion.

*6. What are the most important / clearest signals in my relationship to
another person, that our connection is NOT based on 'love'?*

The first sign that love is absent is usually a moment of irritation with
the other when they do not meet our expectations or desires. This
irritation, if not checked, will grow into frustration and ultimately into
anger. Anger is the emotion behind all conflict and ultimately war.
Unfortunately most people have learned to believe that the 'moments of
anger' are part and parcel of being in a relationship. It's another
mistake. Anger (irritation/frustration) is a sign that we have lost our
connection with our inner peace and inner power, which is the true nature
of every human being. When we reconnect with our inner peace and inner
power, free of wanting anything outside our self to make us 'feel'
peaceful, then we can give of our self without condition, which is love.

*7. What characterizes a relationship based on love?*

Some of the signs of a love based relationship would include total freedom
from emotional and mental dependency on the other. There would be an
absolute and unwavering respect for each other and the unconditional
acceptance of each other as they are now and as they may wish to grow and
change as a human being in the future. This will be underpinned by a
genuine care for the other, a care that may, at times, include leaving them
alone.

*8. What should children watch / experience in their parents behaviour in
order to be able to develop their ability for love as much as possible?*

Well it seems many parents sabotage their children's ability to know and
express love but don't realise they are doing it. It's those moments when
they say to the child that if the child does what mummy or daddy wants then
they will be happy with the child and approve of the child i.e. the child
will be on the receiving end of a warm wave of energy from the parent which
they learn to identify as love. But if they don't do what they want then
mummy and daddy will be very unhappy and withdraw their approval. In those
moments the child learns that a) they are responsible for their parent's
happiness and b) that love is conditional and it comes from big people,
from authority figures. You probably couldn't think of a worse start to
life. But it appears to be common to all cultures. So it becomes obvious
how a parent needs 'to be' in order to teach love. And that is Be Love!
Which means a good parent would never get angry towards their child and
would never be dependent on their child for their own happiness. That's
easy isn't it!?

*9. You emphasize that giving love is much more important than getting/
taking love. Why?*

Well I think we all know that one of loves primary expressions is giving
and not taking. That doesn't mean we don't receive. But there is a
difference between taking and receiving. It's all about intention. If the
intention is to get something/someone just for myself it's not love. When
you receive gracefully and with gratitude then you are giving the other
person the opportunity to give. That's love in action.

*10. Many people have also problems accepting love as friendliness or signs
of affection from others - why is that?*

Many people have a heart that is a bit blocked and often frozen. That just
means they believed they have been hurt by another in the past and that it
might happen again. So they close the gates of their heart to others,
perhaps just a little at first, in order to protect themselves. And then
it becomes a habit. So they find it hard to receive, which just means
'being open' to the energy of others. The only way to fully open up is to
realise that ultimately no one can ever hurt us or has ever hurt us. They
may hurt our body but they can never hurt us! However to arrive at that
place there has to be a few realisations along the way including a) you are
not your body and b) you are fully responsible for all your thoughts and
feelings and c) it was the ego that was hurt not the authentic self. This
allows you to start to let go of the accumulated resentments that have
built up from past hurts. Only then can you reclaim and 'stand in your
power'. Only then can you free your self from the habit of 'reacting
emotionally' and choose your response. Only then can you open your heart
fully to others. But until we do life will not be a consistently happy and
loving experience.

*11. Why do many people find it difficult to love themselves?*

You cannot love your self. It's impossible. The myth of 'you have to love
your self' comes out of a combination of some ancient 'religious beliefs'
and more recent 'new age thinking'. Think about it for a minute - I love
my self - now which one is me the 'I' or the 'self'? Are there two me's?
No, there is only one 'I' or one 'me' or one 'self'? Most people are not
so aware that when they try to love themselves they are a) trying to love a
memory of what they have said or done, and 'the self' is not a memory b)
trying to love an image they have of themselves and 'the self' is not an
image or c) trying to love the face they see in the mirror because they
believe they are their face. But few realise 'I am not my face/body' so
this usually results in vanity at best or a compulsive narcissism at
worst. When you give a gift 'with love' then you give with the energy of
'the self' which, in that moment, 'is love'. Love is not something
separate from the self. It is the self, it is the I, it is me. It is a
state of consciousness and the 'I', the 'me' is consciousness! When you
realise this you also realise that you neither need to love your self nor
can you love your self. And then you chuckle and get on with your life
...as love! But it doesn't do any harm to keep trying. It only delays the
realisation that love is what I am.

*12. How can we experience more love in our life - not only in our
relationship to other people, but also in daily life?*

Find a context in which you can be of service to others, where you can give
of your energy without wanting anything in return. Then you will notice
the old habits of wanting, taking and keeping start to atrophy and the new
and fresh energy of your true nature starts to flow from inside out.
Including the energy of generosity which is also love in action. And as it
does it empowers both your self and others.

*13. And almost lastly, what is your definition of love ?*

Well words can only 'point towards' love but can never capture love. The
energy of love, as a state of consciousness, is prior to words and even
prior to thoughts about love. So there are many ways to point at it. We
each can find our own way. Here is one 'pointer':

*Love is what you are, when you know your self as you are, which is no one!
*

That sounds a bit scary but only because most of us never learn who we
really are and how to just be! No one helps us to see we are not what we
'believe' we are. We are not what we do, we are not what we see in the
mirror in the morning, and we are not our nationality or our race. These
are all false identities. We are human beings. Beings within in a human
form. We are conscious beings so in effect we are 'consciousness' and not
form. That's all. And our true nature is peaceful and loving. That's
it! That's why it is said that *people who don't know how to be, try to be
somebody*! And that's when our capacity to be at peace and to give of our
self as love starts to slip away. Unfortunately it seems to be what has
happened to us all to some degree or other. Fortunately many are now
beginning to awaken to the simplicity of this truth and be their true self
again. It's just that the truth about the self, about what we really are,
ultimately cannot be captured by ideas and concepts, only realised as a
state of consciousness, a 'state of being', within one's self.
*
*
*14. Why do you think St Valentine's Day has become so popular and do you
now think it's just a waste of time?*

We only search for something when we have lost that 'something'. Once upon
a time we collectively lost our awareness of true love, real love (though
there is no such thing as unreal love!) and we replaced it with attachment,
desire, possession etc. So we gradually seek more and more for the
greatest treasure, the jewel in the crown, of the human spirit. St
Valentine's Day is both a great excuse and a growing expression of that
search. I wouldn't kill it. The romantic element is fun and many will
break open the rusty gates of their heart and overcome their fear and
declare their love for another. Better that than staying frozen and
fearful behind wounded pride and the pain of the past. So for some it may
help heal, for others it may help empower and for some it may be the moment
that they truly connect with another human being for the first time. But I
suspect for most it will only perpetuate the myth of romantic love as 'the
great love' and strengthen the illusion that I may only know love when I am
being loved.

*Question:* What is the difference between love and romance?

*Reflection*: How would you define/describe love?

*Action:* Watch for authentic acts of love this week from others and from
your self!

*Towards The Healthier & Happier Lifestyle*

* *

*Dear friend,*

* *

*Today, I wanna share with you some ideas towards the Healthier & Happier
Lifestyle.*

* *

*1. OUR FOOD AS OUR MEDICINE*

*We all agree that prevention is better than cure; then, why don't we take
care of our body beforehand instead of trying to cure it after allowing
diseases to occupy us? Our food is our best medicine. Instead of depending
on costly medicines produced mostly from unnatural chemicals, why don't we
make our food our medicine eating more natural & nutritious fruits,
vegetables, nuts, whole grains instead of depending on meat, processed
food, supplementary vitamins & other medicines?*

* *

*2. OUR DRINKS AS OUR MEDICINE*

*Why don't we turn to more natural drinks like water, fruit juice,
vegetable juice, rice milk, oat milk, soya milk, herbal tea etc instead of
drinking soda, cold drinks, alcoholic drinks etc?*

* *

*3. ACTIVITY MEANS ALIVE*

*Activity is the symptom of being alive and inactivity is the symptom of
dying or death. It means, if we want to be alive, we should lead a dynamic
life always engaging to some activities around, instead of lazing away in
sloth. Walking, cycling, exercising, meditation, swimming, cleaning,
washing, arranging, organizing, gardening, cooking, serving, reading,
browsing internet etc are all good dynamic activities while away from
professional work.*

* *

*4. BETTER BE SPIRITUAL & RICH*

*Material things can never represent the real you. You are unique as
yourself and should reflect your unique qualities as a human being. If you
cannot be a good human being with your original spiritual qualities, then,
you are missing the best of yourself in you. Your big house, big car,
costly gadgets, furniture, clothes, jewelry & other belongings cannot
represent you as a good person in life. The day you die, all your material
assets become meaningless to you, but your spiritual assets will remain
with you leading you to a better next birth. Then, isn't it wiser to give
more importance to your more lasting assets of spiritual qualities than
putting all your efforts to accumulate transient material assets? However,
it is always better if you can be spiritual & rich at the same time.*

* *

*5. LIVING OUR BEST IN THE PRESENT*

*We can't live in the past nor can we live in the future unless we live at
present! So, it's waste of time & energy for us to keep on thinking about
the past whether good or bad and also to dream too much for the future
instead of living our present life fully & happily, the best way we can
right now. So, stop living in the shadow of the past glory of your
ancestors and also stop braging about the possible glory of the future
generations; instead live your best & happy life in the present.*

* *

*6. LIVING IN UNIVERSAL FRIENDSHIP*

*By now, at this advanced stage of human evolution spiritually &
materially, there is no need for physical fights, battles, wars for
survival like our ancestors did in the past. Wars are totally useless
exercises of the past based on false ego of national domination, racial
superiority, color colonization, expanding kingdom & imperialism, for
imposing political ideologies or for the greedy control of world's
resources etc. As of now the global awakening of oneness of humanity show
us the way of the people's better & happier way of living by helping one
another instead of dividing humanity into the minority exploiters & the
majority exploited of the past that only led to hatreds, conflicts, wars &
sufferings in the world. Now, we have the good opportunity for us all to
live happily together as fellow human beings in universal friendship.*

* *

*7. SPIRITUALITY IS THE SOLUTION FOR ALL PROBLEMS*

*All the world problems are due to people's lack of spirituality &
exercising them among the fellow people and also in connection with other
living beings & nature. If we want a heavenly world, spirituality should be
the basis of all the activities in the world, then, there will be no
problem in the world!*

*What is spirituality? *

*Spirituality simply means having the qualities of LOVE, PURITY,
CLEANLINESS, DUTY, SINCERITY, EMPATHY, NON-INJURY, EQUITY, UNITY,
PHILANTHROPHY, JUSTICE, HAPPINESS etc and applying these qualities in our
day-to-day life while dealing with our fellow human beings, other living
beings & nature around us.*

* *

*Happiness for all!*

* *

*Regards,
Goodman Naorem

"True hope seeks the Kingdom of God alone and is convinced that
everything earthly that is necessary for this transitory life will
unfailingly be given. The heart cannot have peace until it acquires
this hope. It gives peace to the heart and brings joy to it."

St. Seraphim of Sarov.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Bible reading for the 2nd of Amshir, February 10th, is:
33 Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked
them, What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road? 34 But
they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves
who would be the greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and
said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all
and servant of all. 36 Then He took a little child and set him in the
midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,
37 Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives
Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me. 38
Now John answered Him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone who does not
follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because
he does not follow us. 39 But Jesus said, Do not forbid him, for no
one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of
Me. 40 For he who is not against us is on our side. 41 For whoever
gives you a cup of water to drink i

n My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he
will by no means lose his reward. (Mark 9:33-41)
Departure of the Great Saint Anba Paul, the First Hermit.
Departure of St. Longinus, Abbot of El-Zugag Monastery.

The Bible reading for the 3rd of Amshir, February 11th, is: Luke 16:1-12
Departure of St. James, the Ascetic.

The Bible reading for the 4th of Amshir, February 12th, is: John 6:22-27

Hello everyone,

In our last post ,we shared the article on Spiritual Healing .Today we are
sharing about How to do spiritual healing by using only salt and water .
The salt water remedy is a simple but powerful spiritual remedy to
counteract the harmful unseen black energy and drain it out of our system.
By doing so, we do not waste our spiritual practice in counteracting black
energy. Instead it can be used to bring about our spiritual growth.

*Salt water treatment should especially be done when one experiences
symptoms such as:*

- Lethargy
- Reduction in promptness
- Inability to think
- Excessive thoughts especially when they are negative in nature
- Anger or any other extreme emotion
- Stress
- Any form of physical illness

*Continue reading and watch video ..at below link*

http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/spiritualhealing/saltwaterremedy

SSRF's aim is to educate society on the spiritual dimension and how it
affects our lives. We conduct research and convey knowledge about the
spiritual dimension to help people understand it, advise those who are
curious to experience it for themselves, and guide those who have intense
desire for spiritual growth and God-realization towards achieving their
goal. " *

The Four of Cups

The Lord of Luxury is a card with a hidden sting in its tail. On the
surface it indicates a wealth of loving affection, showing a person
who is lucky enough to receive a great deal of devotion and
tenderness.

At first look, you would think we would be all too pleased with this
situation wouldn't you? However, the sting is this - sometimes, when
we are loved deeply and for a long period of time, we are foolish
enough to forget what it feels like when we are lonely and unloved.
And as soon as we make that mistake, we start to undervalue the
tenderness and emotional investment that others are making in us.

We begin to get careless about the ways in which we treat those people
who love us. We may hanker after love from some-one outside our
circle, instead of valuing those people closer to hand who love us
from the bottom of their hearts.

In other words, we can begin to take love for granted. And there are
three things in this world we are all silly to take for granted -
love, good health and tranquillity. Every one of them slips away
silently if we stop paying it due attention.

So, when the Lord of Luxury appears, whilst you will know that there
is a great deal of love in the air, there's also a warning which must
be taken on board - count your blessings, reciprocate, and don't get
your priorities in a mess. That way you'll carry on being loved for a
very long time.

Working with the Four of Cups

The Lord of Luxury, as I said in my first analysis of it, is a card
with a sting in the tail. Whilst it indicates a great deal of loving
affection surrounding us, it also warns that we stand the very real
possibility of committing a great sin - that of taking love for
granted.

One thing you might have noticed in life is the strange way in which
we value the love of people we feel deeply affectionate toward more
highly than the love of people we are less attracted to. From my
perspective this is an odd, and rather unkind attitude to have.

It's natural to want those we love to return our feelings, of course.
But just because we do not feel strongly about a person, we may not
imagine that the love they offer us is less valuable. If we are
careless of their feelings, we will hurt them just as thoroughly as if
we were careless of the feelings of our beloved - or they of ours. And
there is no justification for such behaviour.

Love is a mighty and precious emotion. It both creates and destroys
with ease. That some-one loves us is a priceless gift from the
Universe. Whether we necessarily reciprocate in quite the same way is
totally irrelevant. This person's love exists in isolation of our
judgement of its importance.

So on a day ruled by the Lord of Pleasure, count the loving feelings
that people hold for you. Treasure each and every one of these as the
inestimable compliment and treasure it is. Do not stand in judgement.
Rather, take a harder look at the people who offer you love, where you
may not have sought it. And adjust your view of that love until you
respect its worth, even though you may not return it.

Do not fall into the trap of doing things because somebody loves
you….simply hold their feelings in the high regard they deserve. And
be very grateful and glad to be loved….. There are a great many people
out there who never experience the warmth of being held dear and
special. And that is a very lonely experience.

And if, for the time, you feel as though you are one of those people
who is not loved and held dear, then use this day to seek out at least
one place where there is an abundance of love, and go to it……everybody
deserves to feel that they are not completely alone. You could do
worse than visit the huggy healing forum if you're in need of a really
good hug!!

Affirmation: I see love around me and celebrate its presence.

FOUR OF CUPS

Attribution - Moon in Cancer

Cups is the suit of emotion, inner states, feelings, relationships,
memories, spiritual experiences. This suit talks about friendship,
family, love and happiness. The cup is the container of something
sacred.

Fours represent structure, stability, foundation, order,
predictability, solidity, logic, reason, organization, discipline,
manifestation and practical attainment.

Rider-Waite Imagery

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite (1911)

A young man is seated under a tree and contemplates three cups set on
the grass before him; an arm issuing from a cloud offers him another
cup. His expression notwithstanding is one of discontent with his
environment.

Divinatory Meanings

Upright: Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary vexations, as if the
wine of this world had caused satiety only; another wine, as if a
fairy gift, is now offered the wastrel, but he sees no consolation
therein. This is also a card of blended pleasure.

Reversed: Novelty, presage, new instruction, new relations.

Some Additional Meanings of the Lesser Arcana

Four: Contrarieties. Reversed: Presentiment.

**Phantasmagoric - Polly, the Four of Cups, spends much of her time
shut away, yet she is desperate to make new friends. Polly is always
searching for someone or something, yet when opportunities arise, she
seems uninterested and doesn't take the next step.

UPRIGHT

A welcome respite from high-paced activity.

An unfulfilled or boring relationship.

Take the cup and see what it has to offer; if it is more of the same,
don't accept it.

Discontent.

Recuperation from a lost love or illness.

You don't care what happens.

Having it all but no longer wanting any of it.

Apathy.

Listless daydreaming.

Meditation, reflection, time of quiet.

Boredom.

Stagnation.

Imagined troubles with no consolation in sight.

Temporary period if inaction.

Turning inward.

Walled off.

Something is missing.

Lack of motivation.

Feeling introverted.

This is an irritating, listless, boring day. You are feeling stuck and
need to re-evaluate the choices you have made.

"Is this all there is to life?"

Wanting more joy, pleasure, comfort.

Unhappiness and bitter experiences.

This is sometimes referred to as the "Brat" card.

Pick up your head and look around. There is something being offered to
you; you only need to reach out and take it.

Reach out.

REVERSED

Holding back, withdrawal.

The end of discontent.

Feeling energized.

New relationships.

No longer in a rut.

Novelty.

Beginning to socialize more.

Wanting to be involved again.

New things are possible.

Inactivity is now over.

Coming out of a blue funk and finding things interesting again.

Assess your feelings and efforts; that might tell you why you have
been down in the dumps.

Nonduality Highlights: Issue #4483, Sunday, January 15, 2012

_____________________________________________

True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless
surrender, pure silent prayer. All methods aiming at achieving a
certain state of mind are limited, impermanent, and conditioned.
Fascination with states leads only to bondage and dependency. True
meditation is abidance as primordial awareness.

True meditation appears in consciousness spontaneously when awareness
is not being manipulated or controlled. When you first start to
meditate, you notice that attention is often being held captive by
focus on some object: on thoughts, bodily sensations, emotions,
memories, sounds, etc. This is because the mind is conditioned to
focus and contract upon objects. Then the mind compulsively interprets
and tries to control what it is aware of (the object) in a mechanical
and distorted way. It begins to draw conclusions and make assumptions
according to past conditioning.

In true meditation all objects (thoughts, feelings, emotions,
memories, etc.) are left to their natural functioning. This means that
no effort should be made to focus on, manipulate, control, or suppress
any object of awareness. In true meditation the emphasis is on being
awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial
awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all
objects arise and subside.

As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the mind's
compulsive contraction around objects will fade. Silence of being will
come more clearly into consciousness as a welcoming to rest and abide.
An attitude of open receptivity, free of any goal or anticipation,
will facilitate the presence of silence and stillness to be revealed
as your natural condition.

As you rest into stillness more profoundly, awareness becomes free of
the mind's compulsive control, contractions, and identifications.
Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest
potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDITATION

Q. It seems that the central instruction in True Meditation is simply
to abide as silent, still awareness. However, I often find that I am
caught in my mind. Is it OK to use a more directed meditation like
following my breath, so that I have something to focus on that will
help me to not get lost in my mind?

A. It is perfectly OK to use a more directed technique such as
following your breath, or using a simple mantra or centering prayer,
if you find that it helps you to not get lost in thought. But always
be inclined toward less and less technique. Make time during each
meditation period to simply rest as silent, still awareness. True
Meditation is progressively letting go of the meditator without
getting lost in thought.

Q. What should I do if an old painful memory arises during meditation?

A. Simply allow it to arise without resisting it or indulging in
analyzing, judging, or denying it.

Q. When I meditate I sometimes experience a lot of fear. Sometimes it
overwhelms me and I don't know what to do.

A. It is useful when experiencing fear in meditation to anchor your
attention in something very grounding, such as your breath or even the
bottoms of your feet. But don't fight against the fear because this
will only increase it. Imagine that you are the Buddha under the Bodhi
tree, or Christ in the desert, remaining perfectly still and unmoved
by the body-mind's nightmare. It may feel very real but it is really
nothing more than a convincing illusion.

Q. What should I do when I get an insight or sudden understanding of a
situation during meditation?

A. Simply receive what is given with gratitude, without holding onto
anything. Trust that it will still be there when you need it.

Q. I find that my mind is spontaneously forming images, almost like a
waking dream. Some of them I like, while others are just random and
annoying. What should I do?

A. Focus attention on your breathing down in your belly. This will
help you to not get lost in the images of the mind. Hold the simple
intention to rest in the imageless, silent source prior to all images,
thoughts, and ideas.

- Adyashanti

Q. I do not understand your reference to dream and mental illusion.

A. Our experience of the world is evoked and dissolved by the mind.
When you travel from India to London does your body really move? No!
It is the conveyance which moves and your body remains inside-it
without itself travelling. It is the ship and the train which travels.
Just as these movements are superimposed upon your body, so are
visions, dream-states and even re-incarnations superimposed upon your
real Self. The latter does not move and is not affected by all these
outward changes, remaining still in its own place even as the body
remains still in the ship's cabin. You are always the same and hence
beyond time and beyond space. In deep sleep you have no sense of time.
The concept of time and space arises only when there is the limitation
of 'I'. Even now the 'I' thought is both limitless and limited. So
long as you think it to be the body, it is limited. At the time of
waking up and before one actually becomes fully aware of the external
world, that interval, timeless,
spaceless, is the state of the true I.
