Divinity Within You

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a Judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.  Albert Einstein

The difference here in knowing Truth and Knowledge is the source of that determination.  I believe that would be the word JUDGE.  Judging, in my definition, is sorting out with the brain perceived information to make a judgement.   I hope I am not guilty of this type of superiority as to think I know when I can only surmise.  To surmise is just to make an opinion or conjecture.

When I do have a knowing,  it is not from my brain; but from my heart and the emotion that a situation gives me.   Not that I have clear understanding, but a hint that all presented is not all there is to the picture/situation/person as really authentic.  Or a knowing to follow a certain course of action that the brain hasn’t dictated.

This is also a trust issue that I can winnow out what information from myself or others is a ‘knowing of the brain‘ vs the ‘knowing of the heart.’  Do not disregard lightly information from the heart.

HEART’S EXPRESSION:   Love has many aspects like the facets of a diamond.

Each aspect of love which enters the heart brings a smile (unbidden) to your face.  Often you should check your face.  If it is not tranquil, then put your heart in a space of love and gratitude.  Your face will change.

Some can hide their heart, but a tranquil heart cannot escape expression.

DIG DEEP WITHIN:   How many Paul Parrots are out there?  Being a Paul Parrot is not bad thing.   Something resonates with you, strikes a cord of inspiration, validation, an ‘ah ha’ moment.  Then we share that.

The problem of throwing others’ opinions, information out there, is that it is easy to do.

What about putting self out there, not someone else?  What you and your Higher Self have to offer.

I have started this whole web site before I knew.  I hope to reach within, develop and bring out thoughts worth sharing.

WINNOWING:   I find this an interesting word.  It’s somewhat like take what you need that is beneficial and leave the rest or removing the weeds from the crop.   Merriam-webster  defines it as: “to get rid of (something undesirable or unwanted), winnowing what is true and significant — Oscar Lewis,   separate, sift .”

How much baggage do we carry that is of no benefit?   How much stuff on TV do we accept without winnowing?   How much on the internet do we absorb without winnowing? 

This is not just physical baggage; but emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Do we winnow our thoughts?

My goal is to rid (winnow)  myself of what’s not good for my path, my spirituality, my development.   An ongoing realization.  Allowing me freedom to BE.

LOOKING OUTWARD FOR COMFORT:   Gladly that doesn’t work.  Why gladly?

If you depend on another person they may not want or meet up to your expectations.

If you depend on material things, they break, get old, aren’t all that you expected, etc.  Then you escalate to want more.

Therefore:  Comfort is to be found within.  Be Peace,  Be Love.  That contentment surpasses comfort from without.   If it is complemented from without,  it is because you drew it in and that is really lovely.

NOT TO JUDGE:  This is a hard one for me.   In trying to figure this out, or that out I suppose this or I suppose that.  But really, that just leaves me with ‘suppositions‘ which defined by merriam-webster – – an idea or theory that you believe is true even though you do not have proof.  Now, what good is that?  I have just wasted my time; unless I was intending to wile away my time this way for entertainment purposes.  (which sometimes I confess to doing).

Really, how can we begin to judge what someone  thinks, believes, does, unless we “walk a mile in their shoes,” as the old adage goes.  How about this situation or that?

Lets call our attention back to the present and our personal affairs.   Lets appreciate NOW, or better NOW, or accept NOW for our personal self and hold PEACE.

Meditation:   Meditation is a way to connect outside the ego for a stronger link for Prayers, Guidance, and Peace.

I recommend that you surround yourself in Light, Love, Power and Presence of Divinity Within You, and then begin.

This is a less than 6 minute YouTube guided meditation that I feel a connection to.  I found this at Suzzanne Spooner’s site  TAUK   The Youtube link is Suzanne’s Guided Meditation for TAUK

Settling into 2016.  For myself, I am doing inner work to establish what I want to pursue this year.  How can I know, develop, and use my talents for the betterment of and peace on this planet.  What gifts do I have to offer?

I hope my Reflections will be of assistance to some, while of assistance to me.  I received a lot of insight from Nicole Singer’s  Teachings of the Masters.  You would probably find some guidance beneficial to you by pulling up and listening to a random recording on that site.

Today is a day to feel and be LOVE.

PEACE.  New Year Day follows the big party of New Year’s Eve.  There is a quiet feeling today.

Not everyone’s day is peaceful.  Let our heartfelt love surround those experiencing loss, health challenges, financial challenges, or any of life’s obstacles.

Remind yourself to go within and find who and what you are thankful for;  who and what you appreciate.  Being thankful can create a peaceful state of mind.  Hold a positive attitude to carry you forward with trust in Being your Higher Self,  guided by Your Higher Self.

Development of this web site is to open my Light and Love to full expression. My New Year resolution has “NOT” been to loose weight, exercise more, eat correctly (as always needed), but to allow my spirituality to develop.  Thus I started the Daily Reflections.  I do believe that if I fulfill this commitment for a year, I will be able to at least reflect back on myself.  This is like an open diary.

I have had guidance from two friends (independently validating each other)  to the effect that I have the light of my candle under a bushel basket.  My intent is to find, refine, unlock, and appreciate that light and remove the basket.
