Inner Peace

I have listened to the video on inner peace. Like what the presenter said, each of us has the power to create the reality we prefer, and there is no reality apart from how we choose to define it. This may sound self-explanatory but I guess everyone needs a reminder from time to time because circumstances can seem overwhelming and we can be carried away or absorbed in our pains and sufferings.

Being in touch with our emotions is a normal process to go through for us human beings, and I think we are blessed and equipped with a higher consciousness that we can tap into at any time in our journey of healing and strengthening - while it is true we can change our thinking in an instant, there is usually a period of time we come to terms with our experiences before we are ready to emerge, just as a caterpillar doesn't change into a butterfly immediately but goes through a metamorphosis and finally emerges from the cocoon and spreads its wings ready to fly.

I agree the truth is simple yet profound, and maybe that's why listening to the silence of our heart is crucial to remembering the truth since there are often distractions out there in the world from mass media and so on. We are our own best healers and physicians (and metaphysicians).

Immortality - The Illusion of Death!

I think Ralph Smart has presented a holistic view of death, taking into account the duality of life and death, and how death is viewed differently in different cultures and societies, such as Africa and West Indies. It is good to be reminded that energy can’t be destroyed and it can only be transferred or transformed. Like what he said, there is no separation between life and death, which are essential parts of duality. It is a transition (like what Carlton Pearson shared too), and death is humanity’s shadow, to be embraced. Yes, on a deeper level, there is no beginning and no end, since the concept of time is a man-made invention. Death serves to remind us that life on earth is transient. Life is fragile and sacred, yet we are limitless beings because we are co-creators, and so we can ignore society’s programming and choose to live as long as we want. For example, Brian Boyle in his book “Iron Heart” chose to live and managed to recover from the accident and continued to live his life to the full and fulfilling his dreams.

So yes, in summary, death is the shadow which we need not be afraid of. Like what Ralph Smart says, the universe uses everything in it, including us, and we will be transformed into something else through death. This is true from an ecological point of view. And yes, sometimes, silence is the best way to understand the mysteries of life because it speaks volumes and transcends the limitations of words. 

I also like what he says about Nature being in a constant state of creation, where there is essentially no death, except transformation and immortality. We are constantly undergoing metamorphosis, like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Finally, while we are here, it’s about living in the moment. It’s only when we are in the past or future, there is fear of death, which is only an illusion, since there is only immortality. So yes, when we are in the moment, fear disappears. The past is history, the future is mystery, and the present is the only reality that matters, where life, immortality and eternity is, the I Am.
