There is nothing that happens in life that is not for our benefit, nor can there be, for it would not be happening. This is because evolution moves in only one direction: forward and upward, to ever increasing levels of efficiency and magnificence.
Build a foundation laid with dreams. The fools in life want things fast and easy — attention, fame, money, success.Boredom is their great enemy. And FEAR. And whatever they manage to get slips through their hands like a slippery fish, because they never really had it.
You, on the other hand, want to outlast your rivals. You awant to build the foundation for something that will continue to grow and expand.
To make this happen you’ll need to serve a sort of apprenticeship. Learn early on to endure the hours of practice and drudgery, knowing that in the end you will reach the ultimate skill level, and that all of your time and effort will translate into a higher pleasure = you get to be the master of your craft, as well as of your self.
World peace means one mindset big enough to make the decisions about what everybody else wants and the rest of the world conforming. That is the ultimate definition of world peace. You say, “Oh, let’s get along!” And what each of you mean is, “You do what I want.” A peaceful world means, “Everybody wanting what I want. Going along with what I want.” And the only problem with that is: there are more than one of you, and you have endless desires that are born within you. The ultimate experience is everyone having their experience and launching their individual rockets of desire, and the Universe yielding to all of them simultaneously. And everybody not worrying about what anybody else created, and so, then allowing what they are wanting. What a world that is, when there are endless desirers—who are allowing the fulfillment of their own desires.
Abraham
You are always living a reflection of whatever you are outputting. And so, if you get into a little pocket where a lot of people are being rude, it’s probably because you are being rude—or because you have been aware of people being rude. Nothing ever happens to you that is not part of your vibration!
Abraham
“When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love. The only way love can come into your life is not through form, but through that inner spaciousness that is Presence. Love has no form. ” Eckhart Tolle
“If you are one of the many people who have an issue with their parents, if you still harbor resentment about something they did or did not do, then you still believe that they had a choice – that they could have acted differently.
It always looks as if people had a choice, but that is an illusion. As long as your mind with its conditioned patterns runs your life, as long as you are your mind, what choice do you have? None. You are not even there. The mind-identified state is severely dysfunctional. It is a form of insanity. Almost everyone is suffering from this illness in varying degrees. The moment you realize this, there can be no more resentment. How can you resent someone’s illness? The only appropriate response is compassion.”
Eckhart Tolle
