It is through love that I, as a soul, am awakened and acknowledge my eternity. My reality is far more than my material appearance. My eternity is my reality.
In Greek, the word for truth is 'alithea' which means "not to forget". The human being is under a very deep state of forgetfulness, a spiritual amnesia. I cannot achieve the awakened state, the true state of myself with my own skills. Attainment of truth is not a matter of cleverness. To remember who I am is the truth.
To achieve inner change, silence has to be filled with love, not only filled with peace. Many think that it is enough just to experience peace in the silence of meditation in order to achieve transformation of consciousness.
Peace stabilises; it harmonises and gently quietens. Peace lays the foundation. However, love actively inspires and is the catalyst for change. Love moves the universe, moves all things towards their origin freedom and happiness.
Each day I need to discover the love within me and give it to others. I need to make sure I do at least one act that shows my love towards anyone around me. I can than experience my love flowing from within to the ones around.
We seldom allow time for ourselves. Time for the self does not mean reading the paper or hanging out in the bar. It means sitting quietly, being quiet and being with one's self. You can experience your true self by giving yourself the gifts of meditation and reflection, which are the proven way to restore inner peace and inner power.
Thought for reflection:
Self-realisation, self discovery, self-understanding and self-mastery are all pathways to rediscover our inner wealth and wisdom - By Bridget Menezes (author of Self-Empowerment)
