Live in the moment, observe, Being present in the “NOW” is a gift you give your SELF. blessings everyone! Enjoy today!
PL teaching ..day 1.… Always Live With “World Peace” In Your Heart > If each one of us sincerely prays for peace on earth, our combined efforts can change the world. > Always Live With “World Peace” In Your Heart.
Day of Peace – 1st of each month. – Through this ceremony, we pray for World Peace and dedicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds which includes our home, school,work and community.
PL Precept # 14 – World Peace is Everything – if each and every day, we pray for peace, we will one day attain “Great World Peace”
How is your day? I hope it is super fantastic. In Canada,we are heading into our Canada Day long week-end, lots of festivities planned for visitors coming to the capital. Heard on the news that astronaut Chris Hatfield will be here performing on the sound stage on Parliament Hill. He will also have a display of all the Twitter pictures he took while in space. I would imagine that our city will be buzzing all week-end with activities. Yesterday we saw people going to the Jazz festival site near City Hall. So many possibilities, so many options. Do you have plans?
Every day is a special day when we start the day with a smile and a positive attitude.
PL Principles #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning.
When we ask someone for help, we do so with sincerity, both in words and actions. In the same manner, when we pray, it is important to offer our utmost sincerity to God/Tao/Buddha. In PL, when we pray to Got, we use a unique prayer form. this can be done either performed sitting or standing. the PL Prayer form allows you to attain the most ideal state of mind when praying.
Taking the time to perform this simple ritual for me has enhanced my time in prayer/meditation. It is very personal, it helps me to really slow down and focus “center”.
On Sunday’s we will often take time before the service to do some exercise together. This gives the body the opportunity to stretch and release any stiffness in the joints, to activate and extend. Then when the service begins, and we sit down, our body is content to mellow, and our minds are free to absorb and truly focus on the spiritual and divine of the service.
The sanctuary is filled with positive and activated energy. Ah just thinking of it, I am looking forward to Sunday service…From sharing with you, I now have a big broad smile on my “puss” and I extend a warm and fuzzy happy happy day to all of you.
LOL I feel a bit like the little avatar I can be, skipping happily down a flowered pathway, sprinkling bubbles of happiness and sunshine into the air wanting to bestow on every one around a super fantastic glorious day. Blessings everyone!
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)
if you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. Believe in yourself and take the first step.
Have the Courage to Take the First Step. PL teaching for day 19
I thought I’d see what the hexagram 19 was in the I Ching 4 broken lines over 2 solid lines. (Lin)
The two firm lines at the bottom of the hexagram in the positions of inspiration and self interest, create the arousing atmosphere of Promotion. They rule jointly and aggressively. There is now a dynamic emphasis on inner growth.
Begin your endeavors in the company of those who share your enthusiasm. Be certain that you are pursuing your goals. Have the Courage to Take the First Step.
PL Teaching for day 12. Don’t let Yourself think “It’s too Hard” Just Give It a Try.
Always look at things that appear before you with a can do attitude and accomplish your goals with strong conviction.
At the end of July I will head to Japan to continue my training, as the time draws closer, the anticipation is wonderful, my smile broadens. I will be there for the PL Founders’ Day festival and learn more about this religion that rose from the ashes of war torn Japan (after the dawn of the Nuclear Age). To know more of PL, Church of Perfect Liberty, visit http://www.perfectliberty.ca and or http://www.perfectliberty.org
I will be sharing my journey as it unfolds. =^_^=
Blessed be
When you are listening to someone, give them your fullest attention. Turning your body towards them, listen for the feeling behind their words so that you can truly understand what they are trying to tell you.
Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind. Today’s Perfect Liberty teaching. I start each day reading the daily teaching and try to carry it as best as I can throughout my day. Doing this every day, you find that soon it becomes the natural way to respond and you develop a greater understanding and connection to the person(s) you interact with. How many times have you found yourself in a conversation that is one sided? Someone will ask how you are, and before you can really answer they have launched into their own recounting of what has happened to them. At such times I realize that the person’s need to share information and have someone listen is what is important in that moment. I listen. Not always, but more often then not, in listening, I hear not only the words but the feelings that accompany those words. For that space in time, there is a connection between the person talking, and myself. It might have been a sad story, an anxiety expressed, a happy moment retold, whatever it was, for me it was a moment shared. I feel glad and happy to have been able to share that moment in time with my family member/friend/acquaintance. My happiness and comfort in sharing, transfers to the person I’m interacting with, when we can connect with another individual in a personal way, a sharing way, that is a real “hug”
Too often in life we say love, hugs and kisses, or make affectionate sounds, but do we really feel the “comfort” and “joy” (closeness)
Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.
I’ll have to go back and take another picture now that the snow is all gone. The grass is green and the flowers have begun to bloom. Although this shows the building itself, the welcoming entrance. The love and community in this building gives it a life of its own, always one feels welcome when visiting the church of Perfect Liberty.
I’ve been silent for some time now. No one reason, just that I’ve been busy living day to day, moment to moment. When one focuses on “Being in the Moment” days are full, satisfying and rewarding. I have written a number of introductions to PL for a magazine we have here in Ottawa called Tone. It is my hope that in so doing, there will be others who read the words and thoughts and want to come and explore what PL is all about..
“PL’s teachings are practical and common sense. They are the sort of things you will read in positive thinking and self help books, or hear in motivational speeches. The difference is that the members are assisted in practicing them in everyday life through discussions,consultations and prayer” borrowed from my article in the May issue. =^_^=
I have found that committing myself to being a member of the church has made a difference in my life. I was happy before, now I’m even happier. Oshieoya-sama has said that PL can help unhappy people become happy and happy people become even happier. I believe. The website for the Church of Perfect Liberty in Ottawa is http://www.perfectliberty.ca There are PL churches in parts of the States and in Canada. The Motherland is in Japan, with a second Mother land in Brazil.
Those of you who follow my travels and ramblings know that I am a member of the Second Life community and have spent many years enjoying various communities within SL. I’ve especially enjoyed building, traveling and exploring the virtual world. Most recently blogging for the fashionista and divas in SL on Fashion, Lifestyles etc. with my blog http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com
Now, Q ( Qyhat Harbour) who has spent the last many years as a Tiny is going to open up her home to those wanting to know more about the Church of Perfect Liberty. I so believe that the teachings of Perfect Liberty can make profound changes in a person’s life.I want to share with anyone who wants to learn. Virtual world is a beginning, once one has been introduced to the simplicity of its teachings and is ready to move on, there are churches and groups for them to meet and explore in RL. Anyone wanting to find out how, and where, need simply contact me or check out the website. This is your limo to the “house” of Perfect Liberty http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Greenberry/228/56/35
PL thought for today – Just Be Yourself – relax and express yourself freely without hesitation. This will allow you to live your life to the fullest.
