Maybe we all have imaginary demons... that are just that, imaginary... :)

I just finished watching, “A Beautiful Mind”. The beauty of John F. Nash’s mind is breath taking!!
As I watched John’s life and struggle, I realised that just like Charles, Marcee and Parcher, John’s delusions, that he’s fighting all his life, we all too have our owns delusions. Let’s call them demons!!
These demons come in the form of jealousy, feelings of inadequacy, lack of self-acceptance, fear, guilt, shame and many others. Their role, just like John’s delusions, seems to be to scare us and delude us that we are incapable of living beautiful lives.
And maybe success is only possible if we look them in the eye and tell them, “You are not real!!!”. And well, battle them…
We all have a beautiful mind that can help us live beautiful lives. A mind that can help us realize, “that it’s only in the mysterious equations of love, that any logical reasons can be found.”

Nobel Prize Speech

Gaga over Lady Gaga…

I watched this 3 part interview of Lady Gaga’s. I must confess, before this, all I knew about her was her name, ‘coz I don’t really dig her kind of music.
Anyway, the current status of my feelings for the lady… she ROCKS!
Go ahead, take a look…

Part 1/3

These lines stood out…

1. “Fame for me is not external it’s internal, so I’ve been famous for a long time”
2. “I rise and I close…”
3. “I don’t care what people think of ME, I care what they think of themselves”
4. "Music is my life; the fame is inside of me; I am going to make a number one record with number one hits.' And it's not yet; it's a lie. You're saying a lie, over and over again. And then one day, the lie is true."

Part 2/3

Part 3/3

What really struck me is that she’s not a “freak”, as her hair, make up and attire make her look, but a rather evolved person with very clear thinking. And she’s only 23 years!!
I’m not sure I’m going to follow her music, but she certainly has me thinking she’s cool!!!
Hope to see her “make a number one record with number one hits”.

It’s really that simple…

Today, I had an epiphany, that most things in life are easy; as easy as just picking it up and that time morphs all stories, including us.

It’s a powerful lesson to me ‘coz in the past, I have stuck to the truth of the story, “as it was”, and consequently not moved on… Not realizing the power in the fresh energy of “moving on and along”.

Moving on and along brings us to new realizations and perspectives, thereby changing us fundamentally and with that changing our stories and future forever!!

How cool is that?? :)

Forgiveness

Sometimes we come to across situations in our lives where somebody either says or does something to us that we dislike or even hate. Of course, this puts the perpetrator on our “hate list”.

And then begins the agonising journey of blame, resentment, hurt, anger, spewing etc. etc. All done with the aim of letting the “hatee” know that he/ she is hated by us, the “hater”. The more vile we’re able to spew, the more satisfied we feel… or least it certainly seems that way.

The longer the drama drags on, the more justified we feel. Our feelings of hurt and misery seem that much more appropriate… Hrrrrummph, the #@%$!@…

Erm, how about forgiving them right away, and I mean the VERY NEXT second of the heinous crime being committed, ever considered that?

Forgive them?? Right away??? After the way they’ve made ME feel?? NO WAY!!!!!! They can SO rot in the pile of smouldering coals, FOREVER!!! And so goes on the emotional outrage…

I know you’re wondering if there’s a point to any of this AT ALL! Yes, there is a point. At least, I have my point of view.

You see, we’re all creators of our own experiences. The good, the bad, the interesting, the hilarious, the irritating, the joyous; the entire range of experiences that we have, are created TOTALLY by us. YES, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT HAPPENS TO US AND AROUND US. By the virtue of our energy and vibrations we’re able to do this amazing magic around us!! (If you get this great, or else, it’s gonna be another post ;0))

And since this is how life works, then even that “unforgivable” “hateful” event was caused by us! Hence forgiving the poor “hatee” doesn’t even come into the picture!!! If anything we need to sympathize with them as they got sucked into our negative vibes.

So if anybody needs forgiveness, it is US. Forgiveness for creating this drama. And it is ABSOLUTELY essential that we forgive ourselves and clean our vibes or else we’ll jus keep attracting similar situations and events in our lives.

Ever since I’ve understood this, it’s just empowered me SO much. I am no longer at the mercy of others conduct and take them and myself off the hook by freeing them and forgiving myself and moving on… I created this, I can create it differently as well… ahhh… feels so liberating!

‘Coz interestingly enough, our basic nature as human beings is to love, appreciate, be grateful… all the yummy feelings… This is when we’re at ease… if not, we’re at dis-ease… Hence the maxim, “… to forgive is divine.”

Until next time, give this a shot…

“Do I forgive you? Of course, now what’s next?”
