BUDDHA'S WISDOM
"How,
dear sir, did you cross the flood?"
"By not halting friend, and by not straining I crossed the flood."
"But how is it,
dear sir, that by not halting and by not straining you crossed the flood?"
"When I came to a standstill, friend, then I
sank; but when I struggled, then I got swept away. It is in this way, friend, that by not halting and by not straining I crossed
the flood."
-Buddha
"It is not how much we do, but
how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give, but
how much love we put in the giving."
-Mother Teresa
The Lightworkers' Prayer
I choose to stay centered in the awareness
of love, God and my True Self.
In this center, like the eye of a hurricane,
all is tranquil, safe and peaceful.
My power, wisdom and peace comes from staying
in this centre and I ask for spiritual support from God and His angels to keep my mind aligned with truth. I willingly detach
from all material things, knowing that by doing so, I can more effectively help others.
I trust God to provide my every need and I
allow His omnipotent wisdom to direct me in all my ways.
I accept a steady diet of love and joy knowing
that I truly deserve happiness and health.
I willingly and lovingly release all ego judgements
about myself and other people.
I know that everything I want comes from my
decision to experience the Oneness of all life.
I know that I am meant to be a healer and
a teacher for God and I now accept my mission fully and without delay or reservation. I will not abandon my post.
I surrender all behaviours that would block
me from hearing my Inner Voice and I happily trust my Inner Guide to lead me along 'The Lightworkers Way' where I joyfully
serve as an instrument of love.
I release and doubt or fear I may be having
about fulfilling my divine mission and I know that my commitment is the only tool I will ever need for my own healing and
the healing of the world.
SPIRITUAL WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about
what
may
happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even
if it
does happen, you have
to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4.
Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that
will
compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate
tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough,
two are often too
many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread
out big changes and difficult projects over
time;
don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day
at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find
out
what God would have you
do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do
anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget;
don't use credit cards for ordinary
purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house
key
buried
in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can
prevent
an
enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible
with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything
has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality
of
life.
21. Write
down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the
spot. Try to nip small problems
in
the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make
friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest
bridge between despair and hope is often
a
good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29.
Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best
they
can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33.
Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the
universe.
36
Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that
you've
never been grateful for before. GOD HAS
A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND
FOR
YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

"IMAGINE"
Imagine there's
no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine
there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living
life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of
man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I
hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one. |
One Tin Soldier
(The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Lambert-Potter, sung by Coven
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And
the valley-folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd
have it for their very own.
CHORUS:
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it
in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin
soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons
of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets
of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."
(CHORUS)
Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So
they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone
and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
(CHORUS
2X)
