Portable Heaven

In our modern life, there are a lot of people who keeps offering heaven. The material world complete with their advertising and promotion keep showing smiles everyday. Some of them smiles while offering cars and some others smiles while offering insurance services and savings for the future of children.

The characteristic of material world is simple, they keep offering sedative from outside. A Car salesman will always promise that you can be happy with the new car. If the purchased car can not make you happy, they will offer another new car with a more expensive price. And the end result can be easily predicted, happiness inquirers like this are not only endless, but also make many souls get exhausted. In the west where the material life is praised, the statistic of social diseases keep increasing from year to year.

Having realized the dry characteristic of material life, a lot of seekers begin to stop searching heaven outside, then learn to find paradise that is available abundantly within. Meditation is one of the way to find the abundant paradise inside.

Religion of Love

Following the death of hundreds of people in Paris due to the terrorist attack on Friday November 13, 2015, mother Earth was surrounded by the aura of deep sadness. Many people said that tears suddenly drop after  the event. Countless peace lovers expressed their deep condolences. Some of spiritual seekers deeply pray for the happiness of suffering souls in Paris.

And in the midst of this deep sorrow, there is a spiritual friend from London who sent a beautiful e-mail which delivering this message: "religion never kill, ignorance that kill". No religion which was born to kill. The true spirit that often kill is ignorance.

Ignorance keeps believing that material wealth can make them happy forever. Ignorance often assume that political power can provide everything. Ignorance mistakenly conclude that violence can be destroyed by violence.

Healing Yourself

"In the end, you are your own greatest healer", that is the message which is often repeated in the meditation classes. And this is probabily happen when someone keep connecting the small-self with the larger-self.

Any spiritual friend who have spent much time meditating in the forest, they will understand that whenever animals are injured in the forest, they will find a safe and comfortable place to rest. Once they rest sufficiently, naturally they will be cured.

The problem that happen with many people who are sick in particular, they never take a rest. Even when their physical body is being treated at the hospital, they keep thinking, judging, blaming. As a result, they can not heal themselves.

River of Peace

One day there was a wise old man who lived at the edge of the forest. He was so calm and peaceful, that's why almost all the villagers deeply respected him. Some villagers even thought that he was a living God on earth.

But bad luck can not be avoided, good luck can not be pursued, one time there was a young girl in the village who became pregnant without having any husband. Being embarrassed because of her pregnant daughter, the father of this girl asked rudely: "where is the man who make you pregnant?". With the feeling of deeply nervous and afraid this girl pointed out to the the old wise man in the edge of the forest.

Suddenly all the villagers who had been full of praise to the old man in the past, change their mind into the people who were full of judgement. Some of younger generation even thrown dirt to him. The father of the pregnant girl handed over her daughter rudely and shouting: "Now take your responsibility hypocrite old man!".

Warrior of Peace

From time to time the human understanding of warrior has grown and changes. In the old ages, warrior is a hero who bravely jumped into the battlefield. They were so brave, they even murdered a lot of people with a sense of pride.

Along with the advance of civilization, a hero is no longer synonymous with a man who dared to destroy the lives of others. In this age, warrior is beautiful souls who love and embrace life. They do not only love life, they even find themselves everywhere. They do not only find themselves in human beings but also in animals and plants.

While in the ancient history heroism is measured through victory, in this age heroism is measured through the depth of one's inner peace. The feeling of being safe, comfortable, at ease, that's the energy that surrounding the hero today. A number of beautiful souls even cried whenever they met this kind of hero.

The Beauty of Simplicity

Every time we meet the collapsing souls such as people who died at young age, people who are infected by HIV virus, excessive dependence on drugs, unhealed cancer and painful stroke, there was always a long story behind about desires which is bigger than abilities.

The highly competitive environment, family who failed to become the cool umbrella and schools which are full of problems and calamities are only some of the factors that accelerating the collapsing souls. The key point is always because of the excessive desires which is far bigger than the abilities.

The True Wealth

Being rich, that's the dream and the ideals of many people. Do not talk about young generation,  even some old people are still strongly pulled by the energy of being rich. On the one hand, the latest energy makes people wake up in the morning with a lot of optimism . On the other hand, the excessive energy of being rich makes countless souls experience mental fatigue.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with the desire to be rich. As long as it is done in the right way, as long as people aware from the beginning that the excessive desire to have material wealth will guide the soul's journey towards the dark valley which is difficult to be illuminated.

Learning from a lot of friends who come to meditation classes, the great energy behind the exessive desire to be rich is the strong psychological need  to be recognized. To be recognized by others that they are better in many cases than the others.
