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 spiritual topics and how they relate to everyday life- I share about meditation and the soul with the trust that this will nourish your awareness of yourself and others as souls and contribute to an increased sense of joy of living and serving at this time of great and sudden change.
Life has placed me n the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 33 years ago. During the last 26 years, I've been here on the island of Kauai, the oldest, northern most, and in my experience, the serenest island in the Hawaiian chain.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up 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 my own 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 humanity unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of peace, love, wisdom, self respect, and living as a soul.
Through these writings- I aim to build a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light and the light of others.
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, Forest of Honey. It is a unique 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 , take classes, connect with a beautiful international spiritual family and be immersed in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We enjoy delicious and lovingly prepared meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and the joy of 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 that you are. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean some 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.
