Begin the Transformation
The Power Is in Your Hands!
Every individual is blessed with the power of transforming their life. We may be lacking in material goods and luxuries, but the Holy One has given us the power of Free Will. That Free Will is in order to allow the Soul to choose his or her path. Free will means the power to accept or refuse decisions and situations in ones life.
The tools are already built-in to our soul. It makes no difference whether we are rich or poor. For the moment let us just try to remember that the point in our lives where we find ourselves in today is due to the many decisions, thoughts and actions that we have taken in the past.
The visible results in our life can be seen in our faces, in our bodies, in the manner in which we carry ourselves and the way that we express ourselves. If we could only for a moment look into the mirror and see our true selves, there we would find the path that we traced for ourselves years before.
However, one doesn’t have to lament the past or worry about the future. It’s enough to know that we can make the necessary moves to change our path at any time. Of course the farther left or right we have stranded from the path, the more effort we must put in to rectify it. We must rectify the path degree by degree. However, we are assured that it can be done beginning TODAY! It is impossible to undo in one day all that has occurred years before. Yet, we can access are Inner Self, which is a facet of the Holy One here on Earth. Can you imagine it? You are a facet of the Divine Diamond. You can allow the DIVINE LIGHT to shine through you, through your body, through your way of life.
WHERE TO BEGIN:
Let us begin with our Morning Routine. We need to make time to create thoughts of:
1. Gratitude for a New Day
2. Gratitude for an opportunity of correcting our steps at every moment.
3. Gratitude for the opportunity of expressing ourselves with our loved ones.
4. Thank the Holy One for another chance for His confidence in us!
5. Request for illumination to know what our duty is in this new day.
6. Request protection for all our loves ones and friends.
7. Ask for peace, tranquility and spiritual and material enrichment for every soul on Earth.
Then we proceed with our day. We can be confident that the INNER GOD inside of us will direct us as if we carried a compass. We will be compelled to be and go where we are needed. However, we need to be courageous and strong in order to allow the DIVINE INSPIRATION to direct the course, and not our ego (the self-centered part of us) hinders our path. If you were to take these small steps each morning, you’d be surprised how many beautiful things would come your way each day. We would see our friends approach us in search of support and some spiritual insight. There is no greater service than in helping another wherever he or she may be. The Hand of God will be visible in every miracle of each day. The nicest part of it all is that prosperity, health and well-being will accompany that DIVINE LIGHT that you reflect.
See yourself like a small candle in a very big and dark room. There is nothing to do, just be still and brighten all that is around you. Be your natural self. You will see that small little light become brighter and embracing to all those around it. That light will attract others in search of some insight, some encouragement, and some serenity.
YOU”RE ASKING YOURSELF – ME OF ALL PEOPLE?
Yes, You. Once you begin taking responsibilities for your actions, and reflect on your thoughts, words and deeds you begin to transform your life so that others can receive that INNER LIGHT reflected through you. The work doesn’t stop here. You still have to take measures to protect that small still light. Here are a some important but simple measures to ensure the continuation of your spiritual (light) growth:
1. Avoid all negative thoughts, words and deeds.
2. Avoid all that is conflictive or subversive.
3. Avoid everything that resembles deception or trickery.
4. Avoid all that is facile and corruptive.
5. Avoid gossip and criticism of others.
6. Avoid all depressive thoughts.
The SIMPLEST LAWS ARE the costliest: Maintain silence when something doesn’t concern you. Be Captain in cooperation with the DIVINE of your own temple, your own thoughts, and your own deeds. Allow others to watch over their own life and path, their own temple. After all, personal responsibility is a demanding task. This is what Great Masters call: the DIVINE WORK. This is the transformation of the SOUL.
Of course there is much more to be done. However, making new beginnings is the most difficult task. You are invited to begin the dialogue with your INNER and HIGHER SELF. When we look inside ourselves that still small voice answers all our questions. Once you begin, you have opened the door to greater learning experiences. All great spiritual masters know that beginning is everything…… and the path that follows isn’t strewn with roses.
Remember that the refinement of a chunk of carbon from the depths of the Earth in order to transform it into a diamond is a long path. There is much crust and dirt and imperfection to remove. Yet, how beautiful when the diamond is finally cut and polished! What a wonderful reflection! Every soul on Earth has the potential to transform themselves into a diamond of divine light, a light tower, a center of LOVE and KINDNESS for mankind!
TODAY IS YOUR DAY, THIS IS THE HOUR, and YOUR FIRST STEP IS NOW…
