Create Peace

I think most of us in Academia type work feel very disconnected with how we can make a difference.
I have been really re-thinking why I am here, and what am I really doing to make a difference.

I know answers will come with time.

In the meantime, I realized that feeling inadequate isn't the answer--- someone very profound sent me this message, and I think it's food for thought:

"You long for peace. You think of peace as being goodwill toward each other, goodwill among nations, the laying down of arms. But peace is far more than this. It can only be understood and realized within your heart. It lies beneath the turmoil and noise and clamor of the world, beneath feeling, beneath thought. It is found in the deep, deep silence and stillness of the soul. It is Spirit: it is GOD." White Eagle

Healing

Thank you for sending me positive energy....your posts were comforting. Thanks to Catalina, Jen and Sofia for listening to me.

All of my problems (as I perceived them) are rested in FEAR. Of course on a theoretical level, I understand that FEAR isn't real. That all of my FEARS are illusions. I was so far into the dream of daily dramas, that I couldn't FEEL PEACE. All the signs were in front of me but I needed some help to heal.
The answer is inside ME!
All I needed to do was to stop thinking--
and just BE.

And that's what I did last night. I experienced Reiki!

If you are interested, contact Carolyn Musical (www.reikicare.com)--she is a wonderful soul.

This is how I feel today

The power of now

So, the past week I have been pretty stressed out, between school and other things invading my mind, I have allow thoughts to take over my mind and create FEAR...which is so destructive to the soul.

E. Tolle writes, "The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly - you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over."

So, the key is to see this as an illusion. Stop the pattern of over thinking..and be quiet...also, be aware....
