Learning to Be!
“The door to the soul is unlocked; you do not need to please the doorkeeper, the door in front of you is yours, intended for you, and the doorkeeper obeys when spoken to.” -Robert Bly
What if you found out there was a key that would enable you to open and close your doors of perception at will, void of psychedelics? What if you found out you not only held the key, but you were the key? Would you unlock the doors, or keep them shut?
At one point or another, you may find yourself feeling “stuck” in life. Life feels stagnant and its waters no longer rage with passion or depth. When your options in life cease to feel limitless, it is only natural to feel as if you have hit a wall which you cannot move past. Unfortunately, this natural reaction only limits you more by breeding a negative mindset and essentially, if left unchecked, a resistance to life as a whole.
To clear negative blocks in your life you must consciously identify their origins and confront them.
It is human nature to want love, to want approval and to feel accepted. Where this becomes an issue however, is when these wants get in the way of you truly being and acting authentic. I used to care so much about what others thought that I spent years of my life growing up with little connection and feared people knowing who I really was. The truth was, I was even scared of being who I really was. I was not being my authentic self and had created so many stories of who I was and wanted to be.
Research has shown the following to be true for people who meditate on a regular basis:
Increased peace of mind
You will get to know self
You will be Calmer
Intuitive capabilities will open up
Lowered blood pressure
Reduced heart rate
Ability to concentrate and focus
Improved grades
Improvement in moral values
Closer connection with nature
Desire to preserve nature
There will be more beauty in the world – things will begin to look shiny and beautiful
Improved relationships
Easier to see the Truth that pervades all
Deeper understanding of all that is
You will notice the miracles that come

THE GREATEST THING EVER KNOWN
The greatest thing ever known—What is it? Full surely the answer must be one that is absolutely universal, both in its nature and in the possibilities of its application.
By Swami Vivekananda
1. Love is the Law of Life
All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love”s sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.
2. It is Your Outlook That Matters
It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds.
