One of the biggest obstacles to being truly loving and lovable is to want to be RIGHT all the time. This tends to make those around you WRONG all the time! David Hawkins, best-selling author, mystic, psychiatrist, and doctor calls this being stuck in positionality. This is a function of the ego, which is always trying to position itself as “real” and important, i.e. real important!
When you are aware of your original nature as a being of light, a cosmic traveler, a guest in this world, you don’t care about being right, because you are in such wonderment, about just being. This is what we love about babies. Most of the time, they are in the wonderment of being.
When you allow another person to be right, you free yourself up and show a willingness to accomodate and understand another’s point-of-view. Actually, they may not have the end-all or be-all of truth at their disposal, but folks love to share what they have experienced. Experience is its own authority.
There was a time when subconsciously, I was in a constant “argument” with my son about the best child rearing practices, as related to my sweet grandson. After a while, I began to notice that I was not adding happiness to the scene, the very quality I so much wanted to see around me.
Upon having this realization, my motto became: “I’d rather be light, than right”. I was motivated and determined to stay light and mind my own business. It was such a beautiful release and truly helped me to be in respect of my son’s personal journey with his son.
Think of an area in your life, where this little slogan: “I’d rather be Light than right…will make a big difference in the quality of energy you are sharing. Are you getting the results you want to see in the world by responding in your present manner? This is a good question worth checking in with, often.
Only when we check in with ourselves, can we see the benefit in making changes. Don’t criticize yourself or put yourself down. That’s not checking and changing, that’s self-abuse! Observe with love and detachment. Become a Rose spreading your beautiful fragrance into the air, cheering up those around you and bringing them into connection with beauty, harmony, and love.
Don’t just give roses, become a rose, become light.
As you change, the world changes. Its a subtle thing. Learn to stop and be that rose before you speak. Who you truly are is so much more, than who you think you are! What a Wonder!!!
Aloha Beautiful Soul,
Thank you for visiting Enlightened Answers. These writings are my on-going churnings of deep spiritual studies and reflection upon the self - Along with this, there is constant meditation. Both meditation and daily attention to spiritual study which leads to awareness of the self have immeasurably nourished me and increased the joy of living and serving I'm able to experience in these times of great and sudden change.
It has also been my fortune to be situated in the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 31 years ago. The past 25 years, I've been on the oldest, northern most, and serenest island of Kauai.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up of a chain of seven islands- Kauai, the Garden Isle, is situated at the top of the chain and is often called the "crown" of the Hawaiian islands. Kauai is also called the Island of the Golden Light, and the Island of Discovery for good reason! Truly this is where I was led in order to discover the wonders of the inner golden light ignited by the Supreme Light. It is here that I continually reinforce the awareness that- I am a peaceful, loving soul, a being of light*- just as you are. This journey has led me to surrender the rest of this life to the Divine Beloved, the One who loves unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of purity, love, wisdom, & altruism. Through these writings- I am building a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light.
For over fifteen years, I've had the fortune of traveling to northern India- to the state of Rajasthan- where the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual University is perched atop Mt. Abu.
This wonderful oasis of light is also called Madhuban which means Forest of Honey. It is a pilgrimage place dedicated to the Remembrance of who we truly are -- eternal souls. This awareness also brings us into the natural relationship and remembrance of the Eternal One- the Creator God- Beloved of All.
I go to Madhuban to meditate and study in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We are a spiritual family who enjoy solitude, as well as unity. We enjoy delicious spiritually charged meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and communing with like-hearted souls from across the globe. Madhuban is a pure, divine container that serves those who wish to live according to the highest spiritual codes. It is a place designed for souls to have a deep, rich, and loving meeting with the Supreme Soul. My annual journeys there have enriched my life immeasurably, beyond words. I've become a peaceful soul who honors the peaceful soul of you. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean deep soul answers from these writings. Take the jewels that touch you, make them your own, and share them, for "giving and receiving freely" is a good part to have at this time of great transformation.
