The Art of Living

Lord, sometimes we wander aimlessly throughout life without knowing what our true purpose in life really is. Each time we accomplish a certain goal we are not as happy as we initially thought we would be. We want more. Usually our goals consist of material things, such as for money, pleasures, adventures, and so on. Our goals are usually ego-oriented.
However, we sometimes forget that You are our true goal in life. The reason we are on this Earth is to learn more about You and Your Holy Ways. We forget this because we get caught up in earthly pursuits that do not bring any lasting satisfaction. And how can these things bring any satisfaction if our only true satisfaction is You, Lord?
Teach us how to seek You in everything we do. It does not really matter what our earthly pursuit in this life is as long as we surrender the results to You. It is not following earthly pursuits that is the problem. The problem is that we neglect to revert everything back to You and to give You thanks for everything You have given us.
Many of us cannot renounce the world as many spiritual masters have done in the past. Be we can renounce the world in our hearts by surrendering everything to You.  We do not have to renounce the objects of this world. What is the point if we renounce the physical objects, yet remain bound at heart to them and still think about them consistently? If we physically renounce them but still desire them in our hearts, then we have not truly renounced anything. Yet, we can own them and not be attached to them in our hearts.
What matters is that we renounce things by surrendering them to You, and not care about the results. Teach us, Lord, how to work in the world for You. Whether that is sweeping, cleaning, walking, driving, or working in anything whatsoever. Teach us to offer all our activities up to you.
It is an art to learn how to do this, Lord. Teach us this art, and when we finally think of You in everything we do, then show us a way in which we can offer up our services to the benefit of others. Ultimately the most important thing is to learn how to make living an art.  And this art means making You our ultimate Life Purpose, and surrendering everything else to You

The Law of One – The Moment Contains Love ❤

10.14 Questioner: For general development [of the] reader of this book, could you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an acceleration toward the Law of One? Don questions Ra on what practices can more quickly lead us to The Law of One.  Ra: I am Ra. Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of th...

Moon in Swati Nakshatra

Do you have Moon in Swati Nakshatra? Swati Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, or deified wind. Therefore, this Nakshatra's Shakti (power of expression) is to scatter like the wind. It expresses the desire for freedom and to move like the wind in all directions. It is a wanderer, a traveler, a seeker, and a messenger. If you have Moon in this Nakshatra, you do not like to be constrained in any one place or situation. You will try to run away if you feel like a situation or person is trying to tie you down. And you may not do this consciously. It is just that you are on a quest for freedom and fresh air. Vayu represents the divine breath of the gods. A strong Moon placed here will give you the ability to purify your mind and body through the power of breathing exercises effortlessly. You may have a natural talent for achieving deep meditative states through Pranayama.  Vayu also represents celestial music and you will show a desire or inclination towards music and artisti...
