YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RICH TO HAVE ABUNDANCE

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RICH TO HAVE ABUNDANCE

Our society has worked very hard at convincing us that abundance equals money, material wealth and material objects. This notion has been the driving force for so many of us. We work as many hours as we can and we define our self-worth and our measure of success on inanimate objects and a bank account balance. In truth, being rich has almost nothing to do with money. We are all blessed with a measure of abundance, but we can quickly be sidetracked and become blind to the true wealth already present in our lives.

Ο ΕΛΛΗΝΑΣ

Ο Έλληνας έχει τον… ηρωισμό, να θαυμάζει το αρχαίους, χωρίς όμως να τους γνωρίζει, ούτε να τους καταλαβαίνει. Έτσι, γιατί τον βολεύουν… Παράλληλα, φροντίζει για τον διορισμό του «ανάξιου» συνήθως παιδιού του, σε βάρος του άξιου παιδιού του διπλανού, ο οποίος δεν έχει τις ίδιες… γνωριμίες, φροντίζει να δουλεύει όσο το δυνατό λιγότερο, να πάει αργότερα και να φεύγει νωρίτερα από τη δουλειά του, να βάζει στην τσέπη του ότι και όσο μπορεί ο καθένας– όχι μόνο οι πολιτικοί- απ” αυτά που δεν του ανήκουν, να μισεί και να υπονομεύει τον «άλλο».

Δηλαδή, «μαζί τα φάγαμε»;

«Ενέχει μια μεγάλη αλήθεια αυτή η ρήση. Υπό την έννοια της νοοτροπίας που έχει επικρατήσει. Λείπει η εθνική αλληλεγγύη και επικρατεί -ακόμα και σήμερα, εν μέσω αυτής της ανθρωποφονικής κρίσης- το ατομικό συμφέρον».

"In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." --Khalil Gibran

NOTHING LEFT

When you feel there is nothing left.. you have love. That may sound cheesy. But it is true. There are beings put on this planet who you are lucky to have in your life, you better appreciate that gift because they are rare and deserve nothing less than your full appreciation and love.

UNIQUE ARITHMETIC

UNIQUE ARITHMETIC

‘Who is incapable of communion’ said Socrates, ‘is also incapable of friendship’. Falling out of love, we miss what we have in common. Missing what we have in common, we see only differences and opposites.

So many couples find that they lose the sense of unity that brought them together. The differences between the sexes are a source of delight when supported by unity; but they become differences barely tolerable, when unity disappears and are seen as a source of opposition. This is the fate of many relationships, with feelings, thoughts and actions expressing friction and misunderstanding.

When unity is discovered man and woman become aware of that which is the same, beyond differences. Differences experienced through the knowledge of unity create attraction and understanding. There is more understanding, greater consideration and acceptance. Frictions still occur but less frequently. Emotions flow more positively and the couple may grow in love and understanding.

The arithmetic of love is unique. ‘Two halves do not make a whole. Only two wholes make a whole.’

A LIFE PARADOX

A LIFE PARADOX

The more we focus on our own life, on our own circumstances, the more importance we give to them. We amplify the negatives and diminish the significance of the positives. Strange? A paradox?

Life is Unity. Concentrating on our own issues, only amplifies them, as we isolate ourselves from the issues of others, from the circumstances of other people and life around us. Trying to minimize personal loss and maximize personal gain, of whatever nature, is not the right mentality. Share what little you have. Then you feel rich. Then your poverty becomes insignificant. And above all, share your time, attention and love, without expecting anything in return.

Life may be the best mathematician but it is also the worst accountant! :)

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

The law of attraction is NOT that we attract what we want.
We attract what we are. We attract people of similar vibrations.
Or we attract what the soul needs to experience in order to ascend.
For this reason it is best if we remain ourselves, instead of trying to be something we are not.
Even so, it is not up to us. Special relationships are not the result of our own making. They come for a reason, when the timing is right, when we are ready to go through the next lesson in evolution.
So, remain alert, present, beyond thought, open, inviting and above all, humble. Be your basic self. No clothes, no make up. Not even perfume. Simply bare naked.
Then, as opportunity presents itself, you will be able to recognize it for what it is.
Life is a fascinating game. See it this way. Allow life to be!
