Do You Remember What Your English Teacher Said?

Recent Writings 1 Minute

When I first started writing in high school, one of my English teachers called me the “Future Ann Landers”. At first, I was clueless and so she explained that my writing was largely about helping others to resolve interpersonal issues!

As I matured in life and in my writing, I realized the crux of my writing is to myself to reinforce what I wish to remember and apply in my life to become the best version of my self! If this helps and especially uplifts or unlocks dilemmas for others, it is a magnificent Plus- for the record!

And so what follows is a note scratched quickly in one of my zillion notebooks that I’m now sharing publicly with love and blessings!!!

Comment if you like…it is always interesting and often quite lovely to hear how it lands for another!

A sign of lack of manners is stubbornness; a sign of manners is humility. So always remember that the sign of truth is manners. If you are true and you have the power of truth, then you will never let go of your manners.

Prove truth, but with total manners.

If you let go of your manners, and then wish to prove the truth without manners, you will not be able to prove the truth. In fact, what happens is that you wish to prove the truth, but if you let go of manners and prove the truth, then the proof becomes stubbornness, not proof.

Final Note to Self: The impact you create through maturity (manners) cannot be created through words.

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.
