Self Transformation (Change) (Part 5)
Here are some practical reminders and steps we can take to grow spiritually and
bring out transformation (change) in ourselves:
Meditate with others
Another great help in maintaining a stable base on the path of meditation is collective
practice (practicing together). Through personal practice, I keep my sense of responsibility
intact and remain independent. However, without losing these, I can also get together
with others at the meditation centre, valuing and learning from their experiences
and perceptions (ways of looking at situations) - the group energy brings us to
another level of experience, a space of mutual (shared) experience and learning.
We learn from everyone, everywhere, all the time; it depends on our willingness
to accept certain realities.
Often we live too much in the past, or future, and so do not realize that the present
is the bridge to moving away from the negativity of the past and to creating a confident
future. We do not cross this bridge because we live by, or are too influenced by,
the other two time zones (past and future).
Remember that NOW is the opportunity where newness on any level can be created and
for that getting together regularly with people who are on the spiritual path is
very important.

Message for the day 27-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be free is to be free from the influence of time.
Projection: Usually we allow time to change us. We are time conscious and
we normally wait for the time to bring about a change in our situation. Then we
say only if a particular thing happens can we do something else that we need to
do. To wait in this way for time is to set limits on ourselves.
Solution: We need to free ourselves from the influence of time. When we remind
ourselves again and again that we are the creator and time our creation we will
be able to change ourselves. This will automatically bring change in the situations
too.
