Another View Point of the Emotional Baggage we Carry.

Here I place before you two videos that speak about Emotional Baggage and the effect it has on our health. Within these two videos is also embedded so to say the idea of how we could deal with our Emotional Baggage.

The First Video is Joseph Murphy. I am sure many of you have read his books. 

This second Video is Dr. Hegde speaking at Mediquest. It's quite likely you have listened to him on your WhatsApp messages.

Our Lives are precious. I hope and pray that our will to be happy and fulfill our mission on earth is much stronger than our fear of the past. Often we give more power to our fears than to the Love of the life that God has given us. We absolutely must give up our victim roles and take up inspirational and leadership roles. No one can make us happy and no one can make us sad. We need very badly to take responsibility for our happiness and health today.

This blog post is only an interim post. I have not had time to write. I will write. Blessings to all of you.

Sickness – A physical reality, of the Emotional Baggage We Carry!

My Experience.

Emotional Baggage! In all my years of counseling, I have never met a physically sick,  person who is without Emotional Baggage. I have great compassion for people who are sick. At various stages of my life, I have cared for them with much love. But also, with a lot of regrets. 

In life, there are neither rewards nor punishments. There are only consequences.

Sickness is the consequence of the way we live. You just repeat this to anyone, and you will see how vehemently they will deny it. To most people sickness “just happens”, or they believe they picked it up from some unhygienic place or situation or person.

Our beliefs, our emotional baggage – that is, the memories of hurts, rejection, traumas, death of a dear one, or whatever have created fear and insecurity in our lives. These eventually act on our glands, heart, organs etc. And so we fall sick.

Drop your Emotional Baggage

Among the sick persons, I have come across, there were those who were eager to get well and they were very much open to thinking out of the box. These soon learned and understood that their sickness was a result of the emotional baggage they were carrying. While taking the help of medicines and Doctors, they also worked at healing their memories, their relationships, and mending their lifestyle and food habits. (Bad lifestyles and food habits are a result of hanging on to emotional baggage.) These went into counseling, meditation, yoga, walking, exercising in general, and corrected their eating habits. They detached themselves from their emotional baggage and quickly returned to good health and happiness, no matter what their sickness.

People who often don't heal!

The other group of sick people I came across was basically made up of people who were themselves victims of society, born of abusive parents, children of broken families, or simply had had traumatic experiences, like severe accidents, loss of parents, sexual abuse, etc.  They were angry, moody, depressed, dependent, chronically sick, etc., etc. These people rarely if ever recover. They generally blame anyone and everyone, including God for their conditions. Perhaps with help, they could heal. And this is the goal of my article. They must be encouraged to introspect. They must be helped to understand that by looking at their own lives they could make new choices. 

Sickness - A Gift to complete Healing!

Sickness is like a red flag, warning you that it's time to take a look at yourself. Please! Whatever be your sickness, even if it be Cancer, or rather I’d say, particularly Cancer, be sure you can be cured. Yes, you heard me correctly. Cancer can be and is cured. Every sickness can be cured including the so-called incurable sicknesses. There is enough evidence to that effect. Choose to ask yourself; what is my sickness telling me about myself, my life. Choose to live a healthy and happy life.

Impressive! Glory of God! Divinity!

Here below, I am sharing a video that impressed me no end. At times it brought tears to my eyes. No, not because of the pain she endured. More because in her, I experienced the Glory of God. That in humans there is the possibility of Divinity.  Divinity shines in her. I was impressed and inspired by her courage, by her attitude to life, the greatness she saw and experienced in herself, and above all the total inner freedom she reached in possessing herself, yet not possessing anyone nor being possessed by anyone. I am so very proud of you "Muniba Mazari", I hope I will someday meet you. God is with you.

I cannot help but share this video with you!

Please do send me your reactions and comments. Thank you.

The Purpose of My Life

 

Why was I born? What is the Purpose of My Life? Do I have a Purpose? Or do I have to discover the Purpose of My Life. Or will the Purpose of my Life be handed down to me on a platter. Have these questions ever troubled you? Am I the only one in the world asking these questions? Surely not. But ever since I was in my teens, I have been troubled by this question. I was at that time a voracious reader. The meaning of life and my Purpose in Life were big questions for me. I was restless, I felt like a rudderless ship.

When I was in my early twenties or so, this poster caught my attention and stopped me in my tracks. True I was on my way, but what truly was the purpose of my life. I was one of a herd of sheep. I asked and asked, but only got blank stares. I soon realized that there were some questions you just don’t ask. You follow the herd. Even if it is a herd that has chosen a “road less traveled”. What I mean is, whatever the journey, the semblance of a destination fast disappears or worse was never even considered. We get busy sustaining life, fulfilling personal needs, and defending personal boundaries that may be real or imaginary. Just take a look around you. From the so-called “advanced” nations to what are called “third world” countries, where is it that you find purposefulness, peace, harmony, equality or the sharing of goods. Which part of the world shows a high health rate? We all seem to have one destination today – The Hospital.

Sorry for being so depressive. But if I don’t look at the dirt in my room, it's unlikely that I will ever clean it.

Let me cut a long story and get to the point. It took me another forty years before some light began to emerge and I began to see a Purpose in my Life.

A quote From a Collection of Meditations by David Viscott caught my attention:

 

 

This quote certainly gave me a boost and a very real sense of Purpose. However, it did not take me long to understand that this was not the whole truth. To me, life had begun to mean much more than just using my gift. I had begun to realise, that what I took for purpose and meaning was in reality ambition or downright self-centeredness, covered with a veneer of altruism. Sure I was doing a lot of good and once again I was feeling restless.

 Well over the last 25 years or so this is what I have discovered about my life, about the Purpose of My Life:

• The Purpose of My Life is to know who I am. I learned all about my life by reflecting on my life at various stages, by listening to feedback from friends and enemies. By accepting my Bright side and my Shadow side. I am still a work in progress.

• The Purpose of my Life is to know Others. Eureka! As I began to discover and accept myself, I found it so much easier to accept and understand others, yes with their Bright side and their Shadow side.

• The Purpose of my Life is to Know and experience the Divine. As I began to discover the Divine in me, I discovered the Divine in Others. I soon realized we are all one in the Divine.

When we accept one another and are united we establish a world of Peace, Happiness and Perfect Health. When we reject one another, we are fragmented and create a world of Chaos, War, Disease, and Sickness.

 The Purpose of Life is to Incarnate the Divine on Earth. To Heal the Earth, to establish a New Creation. Yes, it is in our hands. It has begun!

Create A New Earth A New World A New Life

 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” Genesis 1:1-2

Now I am a Christian and a Catholic to boot; so everyone may not resonate with my thinking. That’s fine. On the other hand, deep down in our hearts I’m sure, is a deep longing to return to our source, our Origin, wherever or whatever that might be, regardless of what our religious beliefs and affiliations might be, including those who do not believe in God (atheists?), Some call this source God, some prefer to call it Vital Force Energy, some say Divine Energy.

Saint Augustine states it very succinctly, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

I often imagine the Spirit of God hovering over the earth, constantly taking note of all that is going on and happening. And then I begin to wonder, does God / Divine  Spirit worry about all that is happening in the world? But then can the Divine worry? I should think not. A quote from a novel I read a long time ago comes to my mind, “God is not dead, he refuses to get involved”, from The Drifters by James A Michener.

The smell of fear and death is all pervading. We have tired of knocking at the doors of Doctors Clinics and Hospitals, we have despaired of help from Government and government agencies, we

have quarrelled and abused family members for not being there for us. And now we come begging to God. “If you really exist then why don’t you do something”. God is not dead he refuses to get involved. Or is He? I mean Dead? Or did I mean Deaf?

Now why is it that in whatever situation we find ourselves, we
always look outside ourselves: be it for affirmation, be it for solutions, be it in sickness, you name it. It never occurs to us to look into ourselves, to introspect, to take responsibility. You disagree? I’m sure you do. And so we come up with blaming statements like: the government has failed us, the medical fraternity has failed us, you can’t depend on any one today (neither kith nor kin), you can’t trust anyone, they are all cheats, all they want is to rob you….stop, stop, stop!!!!

This Pandemic is a case in point. We have run out of ideas just as it seems we have run out of vaccines and oxygen which we thought would save us finally. Let us not run out of Faith, Hope and Love and Self-Responsibility.

Go to God? Yes indeed! But not a God outside of myself. Once

again the Book of Genesis comes to our rescue. (Oh! You need not believe in it, it just echoes the throbbing of the ages of man’s heart) The Book of Genesis comes under the category of “Primeval history”. There is nothing historical about it. It states, “God created man in his own image and likeness, in his own image he created him”. And you might ask me, “do you really belive that?” Yes I do, far more than I believe in any Government, Science, Medical establishment. What that means is that I have within me all the resources I need to face any situation I might possibly face. Yes go to God, the God in your heart. Introspect.

Change your energy level. Instead of blame, let us send blessings, instead of fault finding, let us be compassionate, let us be grateful for all that we have ever received; our gift of life, the natural gifts of our bodies: Eyes, Ears, a Heart that beats night and day, our blood that circulates 24x7, Oh! Yes our lungs, liver, kidneys and all the rest. We have taken everything we have for granted, and used them ruthlessly having absolutely no regard for them. And what about the gift of nature that God gave us. The only natural source of Oxygen our beautiful trees we have selfishly cut down just as we have destroyed the natural resources of life giving water; and where has it led us; I shall not speak more. I think you get the point.

The situation all around us is simply an expression of who we are inside of ourselves. To change the world, we need to change ourselves. When we live a life of peace and compassion, being grateful for all that is, most certainly we will create a new world. So release the power of Love and Forgiveness and as Eckhart Tolle would say, "Create A New Earth"

Humble Introspection ~ Conversion ~ Creation ~ A New World Order

When I read these words of “David Hawkins”, they just hit me in the pit of my stomach. 

“We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of who we have become”.

With trembling then I ask, what indeed have we become! What indeed have we become!

 To create such a world as we see around us!
