Yin – Yang

Always there are two sides. Positive – Negative, Male, Female, Sun – Moon, Day- Night, one compliments the other. There are times in my life when I am drawn to the lighter side of life, and other times where I find beauty and wonder in the darker arts. Yesterday I couldn’t stop reading a historical novel full of love and intrigue. Today I am deep into the meaning of enlightenment. I recently picked up the summer issue of Light of Consciousness, thought to take it on the trip with me to read during the long waits between flights. It proved to have so many articles in it that I wanted to spend time with, i.e. “Visions of the female Buddha” by Deborah Bowman, and Sleep Better with Mindfulness by Joseph Emet that I couldn’t wait to delve into its pages. Now of course it will stay here so that I don’t lose it while I’m travelling. I will pick up lighter fare for the trip, magazines that I won’t mind leaving behind for the next traveler.

In life it is important to continue along the spiritual path towards our goals. It is also important to know that our goals are not set in stone. As we develop and “mature” our needs change, what we wanted and needed a few years back, may not be where we are headed today. It is essential that we take the time to “meditate” and look at the positives as well as the negatives of our “now”, before we move on. Ask yourself, is it an appropriate time to act. The time to act is when you have the correct inner attitude, and the commitment to follow through on whatever it is you decide to do.

We are all different and have our own unique personalities and lifestyles. Therefore, how we practice PL to solve our problems, or to express our true selves will vary. In consultation with a PL minister, we receive guidance and support that is tailored to our individual needs.

The PL teaching for day 18

The Value of Money and Things Depends on How You Choose to Use Them. Money and things are materials for your self expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society.

Time out – Road block

Time out - Road block

Ever found yourself standing alone trying to replay what just happened. One minute you were laughing and talking and the next your friend is off in a huff. Or you yourself have gone from good mood to one of “not so good”. Miscommunication?

Do you stew over it, waste the evening, or do you address the issue? If you don’t speak about your thoughts and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel.

In PL the teaching is to take ownership for our actions and words. By expressing ourselves it opens heart to heart communication/connections. We know how it feels when we feel we have been slighted, or neglected. Saying “Thank you”, or ” I’m sorry” goes a long way towards building and maintaining lasting friendships.

PL Principle #3 > I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

PL Principle #6 > I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

PL Precept # 4 > Being annoyed limits your expression.

Strive for heart to heart connections. Everyone benefits. (PL lesson, day 15)

“As long as we insist that we are separate, individual entities apart from the rest of the universe, then we shall never realize Oneness” Deng Ming-Dao

Beautiful Words Make for a Beautiful Soul.

PL teaching for day 27 >

Let’s choose to use words that are kind, polite and courteous. Kind words will bring about a kind heart. Beautiful Words Make for a Beautiful Soul.

Often when I look around, I see people engrossed in their electronic gadgets, intent on receiving or sending a message. I saw one woman pushing a stroller with one hand while holding the phone to her ear. In the dress shop, another lady was talking away while she pulled out one garment after another to inspect. A young man was hurrying through the mall, coffee in one hand and his iPhone in the other. I wondered how he could text with the one hand, and still maneuver through the crowd and not bump into something.

If we are constantly tied to a phone, when do we allow the mind/brain to chill? If taking a walk through the park, we are distracted having an electronic conversation, do we see the flowers? smell the fresh cut grass and lush vegetation? hear the call and singing of the birds? A friend told me that the way her family communicates with each other is via text. Does that mean that we no longer enjoy personal contacts/visits. Is tea time a thing of the past? If I’m the person on the other end of the line, are you really connecting with me, or are you shopping? Just wondering………

Relaxation is total peace.

When you relax completely, there is total silence.

This overwhelming sense of tranquility is really what meditation is about. (mindfulness)

Neutral stillness of the mind, renews the tired soul, (regeneration)

Always challenge Yourself With New Things

Always Challenge Yourself With New Things – PL teaching day 17

Life is interesting because we always encounter unknown or new situations that we have never experienced before. don’t be afraid of failure and proactively challenge each new situation. Always Challenge Yourself with New Things

When sitting with Rev. Goto today in his office, the rain was falling against the window, giving a steady staccato with various depths of sound as it hit an overhang and then tumbled downward against the window pane. It surprised me, and for a second or two it captured my attention. Then we resumed our conversation, and the musical rain disappeared, my focus was on the subject matter of our meeting. My upcoming trip to Japan is a personal challenge for me. The last time I flew was several years ago, when I flew into Missoula, Montana. I vowed I would never travel that distance again, certainly not over mountains in a plane and iffy weather.

That was then and this is now. I will be in Japan, (Headquarters Tondabayashi Osaka) for the annual Founders’ Day Ceremony on August 1. On this day hundreds of thousands of PL believers from the local churches in Japan, and from distant parts of the world, gather to appreciate and pray to the First and Second Founders who are still working spiritually for the rapid realization of true world peace. The ceremony will climax with an hour-long display of the world’s greatest fireworks, “The Art of PL Fireworks”. How mind-blowing and awesome will that be.

Also on Founder’s Day, August 1, the annual Peace Tower Ceremony is held. The spirits of all those who have died in war, regardless of race, religion or nationality are enshrined in the altar of the Peace Tower. In this ceremony we console their spirit and pray for the everlasting peace of mankind.

Take Care of things One by One as They Come. day 14

Take Care of Things One by One as They Come. It is the best timing to do something as soon as you notice it. Take action right away without hesitation.

Perfect Liberty teaching for day 14.

Page 35 PL Member’s Guide.> “Each one of us has our own unique personality and lifestyle. Therefore, it is different for each individual how they would practice the true way, or how they would seek happiness.”

Page 23 PL Member’s Guide.>” Life is full of accumulations of small moments. If we go through life with the illusion that only big, important things need our attention, we are missing opportunities to notice other things in which we should be paying closer attention. Your life is your very own unique work of art.”

Take care of Things One by One as They Come.
