Worry Confused With Concern (cont.)
We are all linked together at a subtle, invisible level, and communicate with others
invisibly. We not only send but also pick up the energy that others radiate, especially
the ones that we are close to. We demonstrate with an example how this can work
positively as well as negatively when we find ourselves in negative situations in
our practical lives.
Suppose the class teacher of your child (we take the example of your son) calls
up and says that while playing in the school playground, your son has injured himself.
She doesn’t explain much but says there is nothing to worry. She requests you to
come and pick him up from the school. At this point of time your son is radiating
his own spiritual energy which is most probably the negative energy of fear, stress,
anxiety and sorrow (although the teacher has informed you that he is fine). At the
same time he is also picking up your subtle spiritual or mental energy.
You are driving to his school to pick him up. At this point of time, you only have
a rough idea of what situation he is in exactly at that moment because you are physically
far away from him. Guessing about the exact situation is making assumptions and
is a waste of your mental energy. If you make negative assumptions i.e. you worry
and are scared, then you are sending him the same vibrations of fear, a negative
energy, which he is going to pick up and it is not going to empower or help him
in anyway but is more likely to weaken and disturb him and even disturb you in your
driving. You have been told that there is nothing to worry but still you
know he is in a slightly difficult emotional situation and only he knows how he
will come out of it. What will help him? He needs your support, but what will support
him the most - we are talking about subtle support, because you are going to take
some time to reach the school and provide him physical support? Your negative vibration
of fear which you may mistakenly call concern or care as you imagine something bad
has happened? Or the positive vibrations of your unconditional love and your good
wishes, which is true concern or care? What will you send him to support him from
far away? Worry vibrations or the vibrations of love in the form of your good wishes
for them? Vibrations of love will keep you also in a positive state as you drive
through the city. Besides, what is care or concern? It is you sending your positive
inner spiritual light to help another and worry is definitely not that.

Message for the day 03-07-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Determination enables us to overcome our weaknesses.
Projection: When we recognize any weakness of ours, we want to make effort
to remove it. But usually we work on it for a few days with great attention. After
some time, we find ourselves losing interest and the weakness gets stronger taking
hold of us once again. We find ourselves exactly where we had started having no
further enthusiasm to work on ourselves.
Solution: In order to overcome any weakness of ours, we need to have a strong
aim in our mind to remove it. With this comes the determination to work on it without
losing hope. Even if we find ourselves becoming slack, we need to remind ourselves
that we don't want that particular weakness in our life. Then we will be able to
work at removing the weakness fully.
