Characteristics Of The World Stage
There are three things that we all have in common;
awareness - of ourselves and others
relationships - the sharing and exchange of energy with others
creativity - the ability to produce thoughts, ideas, concepts and feelings
and express them.
The purpose of our life is nothing more than living life itself - to be self-aware
(awareness), to be creative, to express ourselves to our highest potential
(creativity) and to exchange the energy of love with those around us (relationships).
But this cannot happen in the incorporeal, silent home of the soul (commonly called
paramdham or shantidham). These characteristics of life require action, a
costume (physical body) through which to express ourselves and a stage on which
to act. The physical world provides the stage on which we can move, bring to life,
create, relate and express all that is within us. For each of us the possibilities
are infinite.
The moment we take birth in a physical form, we are constantly doing one of three
things: acting, reacting, or interacting - sometimes all three together.

Message for the day 11-08-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To have a positive outlook is to remain in peace.
Expression: The more one hears and talks about positive things, the more
one is able to be free from negative influences. The environment today doesn't give
much of a chance for hearing to positivity because of the continuous flow of news
about conflict and violence. But changing the theme of conversation and talking
about what life gives is to change the responses to the world in a more positive
way.
Experience: When I have a positive outlook, it creates in me hope and enthusiasm
for the future. I also have a more positive view of the present reality. I remain
in peace, whatever the challenges or negative situations I may have to face. I am
able to be in touch with the inner peace and maintain this state of mind under all
circumstances.
