Dear all Zoom Prayer Meeting attendees,
What those who have achieved some success in this world have in common is
that they have both "an eye to assess reality objectively" and "a heart to
pursue their dreams. Such people also have "eyes that doubt others" and
"hearts that believe in others. (Talking about general society)
However, what we have done in the past was to give up on our dreams because
we were overwhelmed by the harshness of reality or to lose sight of reality
by drowning in our dreams. We have also experienced doubts that swelled up
when we doubted people, which caused us to distrust people. We have also
experienced betrayal when we trusted people in a state of mind without
discernment from others.
The example at the beginning of this article, which may seem contradictory
at first glance, also applies to those of us who are pursuing the Truth and
trying to manifest it in our thoughts, words, and deeds.
What I mean is that "the act of surrendering one's thoughts, words, and
deeds that are inimical to divinity to Guardian Deities and Spirits, seeing
them as fading away" and "the willingness and practice to manifest one's
divinity in thoughts, words, and deeds with 100% faith" are the same
principles that operate in our minds as in the example given in the
beginning.
When we look at it from the aspect of Truth, we can see one fact common to
those who can "utilize these awarenesses at the same time. They can clearly
distinguish between their True Self and their karmic thoughts.
Before we opened the door to the Divine Spark, we could not make a clear
distinction between true Self and karmic thoughts. We tended to defend
ourselves and shift the responsibility to others, saying "who is good" or
"who is bad." We were easily influenced by criticism, blame, and evaluations
such as "that part of who is fading away.
As I always say, what we feel for others (and ourselves) is the seed of
feeling that way within ourselves. Our minds are structured so that no
matter what we see or hear or who we interact with, we cannot believe that
there is no cause within ourselves.
The cause of our feelings about everything in the world lies in ourselves,
and in light of the Truth, attributing responsibility to others is not a
divinity of thought, word, or deed.
When we say that the cause of our feelings lies in ourselves, we mean that
our feelings, whether good or bad, positive or negative, bright or dark,
favorable or unfavorable, reflect our inner state of mind.
Whenever I pray for World Peace or Divine Spark IN, the disharmony in my
mind improves without my knowing it, and no matter what I see or hear, I do
not feel bad or discriminated against. We will be able to see the workings
of divinity in all things in the universe and spend more time in a state of
gratitude and single-mindedness.
This Saturday evening, we will do it together so that all of us can shift
our mindsets to see only the harmony in our hearts and not the disharmony in
our hearts. This is to reaffirm that what really needs to be changed
(evolved) is one's own state of mind and that trying to change others is not
the essence of the prayers and signs.
As always, this will be a time to radiate light from the source of life to
all of the earth, embracing the dualistic ways of seeing and feeling
reflected in our senses with the unconditional love inherent in us all.
The opening speech is in the second half of the PDF file.
