Campuhan Deep within

In places where the river kissed the beach beautifully, or two rivers merge into one, the elders of Bali gave the name of the place Campuhan. Many shrines have been established there. Of course there is a beautiful spiritual message hidden there.

The river is a symbol of the small and selfish self. The self who likes to be called better than this or that. At the same time it is the part of the self which is easy to get injured because of small reasons. And the ocean is the symbol of the Supreme and Great Self. A place where all things are processed into a beautiful blessing.

Making Wife Beautiful

 Here and there, there is a rising number of divorces, here and there. there are rising suicide rates, here and there the inhabitants of mental hospitals are also rising. And it is not right to criticize this or that, but an invitation to do something to make our current rebirth more useful and meaningful.

And one of the social units in the community that has the potential to be invited to cool the violence is family. Especially because the cool family has the potential to make the community cool as well. Moreover, family is similar to the port for ships, similar to airports for aircrafts. A cool place where deficiencies can be processed into materials of growth.

Referring to a number of works on the psychology of relationships, the psychological sides of the husband-wife relationship, it is important to recognize two instincts. Firstly, is the mother instinct (an instinct that is inherently owned by any mother) that settles in each wife. Secondly is the heroic instinct (instinct of heroism) which is naturally stored in each husband.

High Quality No

"You can be a good person and say no at the same time", that is one of the old messages. Especially in this day and age, without the courage to say no, even many holy souls fall. It sounds impolite to put an example in this case. If we mention names, it's even less beautiful spiritually.

As material of contemplation, there is low quality of no, there is also high quality of no. If someone is offered drugs for example, then sharing the bad sides of people who sell drugs everywhere with anger and hatred, that's one example of a low quality no. It is not only dangerous to the person who sells drugs, but also can create danger to the one who shared the story.

The Cute Butterfly

In the time when the morning appears the night disappears, that is one of God's faces as the law. The same thing happens to the growth of the human soul. When the children begin to recognize the importance of cleverness at school, innocence begins to be replaced by an irritable mind.

As we all know, in childhood the mind is not separated by the walls like bad-good, low-high, wrong-right. Everything is well-connected in wholeness. That is why children feel safe, comfortable, peaceful in the middle of nature. They have an abundance of energy.

Pursuing butterflies is one of wonderful memories for children. Certainly not to be caught. Not to be mocked. But there is a beautiful feeling inside while chasing after a butterfly that flew around. It is not the result that counts, but the process and the journey which is full of smiles and happiness.

Joking with God

A close friend in Compassion spiritual family shared his story one day that he was forbidden by his staff to cross the ocean from Lombok to Bali. Especially because the waves are ferocious. With a smile this friend replied: "I want to test the depth of my relationship with God". And sure enough, the ocean waves crashed so violently. In the midst of a terrifying fear, this friend murmured softly: "Deeply forgive me God, I'm joking". Surprisingly, the ferocious waves went away.

For some beginners who praise God excessively, this story can be considered to be impolite. But for the glowing and luminous souls, God loves laugher, that is why He created jokes. Much deeper than that, without jokes and laughter, life will turn into arid dry land. Very few trees of happiness and peace can grow there.

Not far from the topic of joking with God, one day a little boy asked his mother whether it is true that heaven is located right under mother's feet. After hearing the whisper of the Lord, this funny mother replied: "While under the feet of mother is the heaven for the children, the one that located between the two feet of the mother, that is the heaven for father".

Since the very old time, spirituality has always been portrayed with a face that is too serious. Some even threatened us through the word sin and hell. In the midst of a time when most people have high education, the earth has turned into a global village through the internet, presenting spirituality that is too serious can easily make the new generation will stay away.

The Inner Feng Shui

“Your vibe attracts your tribe”, that was written by many lovers of spirituality in the West. In short, one’s vibrations determines the people who will gather around them. It is as simple as the flowers inviting the coming of butterflies, as simple as ponds that invite the coming of frogs.

The same thing happens to luck (feng shui). Some spiritual friends who reveal their secrets in the meditation sessions shared their story transparently, the main reason why their lives are less fortunate (from pain to illness), is because throughout their life they keep talking negatively with themselves. They keep telling themselves how unlucky their lives are.

This inspires many spiritual seekers, the inner conversation is the ground where the seeds of good fortune can grow. In the area of psycho linguistics it is widely known, stop being a murderer to yourself, help yourself to grow. Someone who becomes a killer of themselves, they keep complaining everyday, there’s always something lacking inside, they keep protesting outside.

Watering The Seeds of Light

Everything is energy, that has been written by many friends in the spiritual world. And this energy will help the soul to grow if someone can process it properly and appropriately. When organic trash is placed under a flower tree, it will turn into a beautiful flower. The same thing also happens with negative energies.

As often seen on the highways, a number of older men still ride a large Harley Davidson motorcycle when their age is no longer young. This happens because they generally did not ride motorcycles when they were young. That's the reason why the energy of riding a motorcycle reappears in old age. Some friends who never dated when they were young, their energy for dating comes after they have a number of grandchildren.
