Are You Directing Your Inner Orchestra Well (Part 1)?
Our inner orchestra is made up of different music instruments – the different instruments
are: our memories, desires, tendencies, mind, beliefs, emotions, feelings, fears,
intuition, judgements, creativity, our imagination...
When you direct your inner orchestra well, you can remain unaffected by external
influences without succumbing to them. When the orchestra directs you, you dance
from one side to another without a clear direction and with a music that is not
very harmonious or sweet; it is noisy and you suffer. Who is the director of this
orchestra? You. Who are you? You – the consciousness, you - the soul, you – the
being. When your consciousness is in charge, you make the orchestra play according
to the inner voice of your being, according to your purest intentions and values.
You can. You simply have to be awake, alert and attentive. If the director of the
orchestra closes his eyes for a few moments and covers up his ears, what happens
to the orchestra? You have to keep the eyes of your inner spiritual vision open;
what is called the third eye. And listen with your heart, not with your physical
heart but with the heart of your being. If your orchestra rules over you, and you
- the director - are stiff, without flexibility, asleep, un-sympathetic, you will
not be able to achieve your dreams or arrive at the destiny that you would like
to reach. And, to make things worse, when your orchestra dominates you, you are
more vulnerable to being dominated by the orchestra of others. Or you will allow
someone else to direct your inner orchestra. This is the ideal road on which to
get trapped and suffer. Is this what you want?

Message for the day 30-03-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be humble is to be a source of happiness to all around.
Projection: Sometimes we find that we don't mean to be negative to others
but people seem to be displeased with us. When there is any kind of sorrow experienced
or if others are experiencing any negative feelings, it means we are not working
with our inner humility.
Solution: We need to develop regard for all around us. When we work with
this regard there will be humility within us. This naturally enables others to experience
happiness. To the extent that even in the most negative situations others will experience
happiness.
