A Tale of Two Seas

A tale of Two Seas  Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated I was  when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea.  As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea (and as my  Geography teacher pointed out, if you understood that, it would guarantee 4  marks in the term paper!)  Its so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You  can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% -  almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there  is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea.  While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to recall  learning about the Sea of Galilee in my school Geography lesson. So when I heard about the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea and the tale of the two seas - I was intrigued.  Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of  Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they  are very, very different. Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In  fact, the sea of Galilee is home to over thirty different types of fishes.  Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life,  the other is dead. How come?  Here apparently why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and  then flows out. The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then  out - and that keeps the Sea healthy and vibrant, teeming with marine life.  But the Dead Sea is so far below the mean sea level, that it has no outlet.  The water flows in from the river Jordan, but does not flow out. There are  no outlet streams. It is estimated that over 7 million tons of water evaporate from  the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty. Too full of minerals. And unfit for  any marine life.  The Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not  give. Result? No life at all.  Think about it.  Life is not just about getting. Its about giving. We all need to be a bit  like the Sea of Galilee.  We are fortunate to get wealth, knowledge, love and respect. But if we  don't learn to give, we could all end up like the Dead Sea. The love and the  respect, the wealth and the knowledge could all evaporate. Like the water in the  Dead Sea.  If we get the Dead Sea mentality of merely taking in more water, more  money, more everything the results can be disastrous. Good idea to make sure that in the sea of your own life, you have outlets.  Many outlets. For love and wealth - and everything else that you get in your  life. Make sure you don't just get, you give too.  Open the taps. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.  Make that a habit. To share. To give.  And experience life. Experience the magic!

Grace is About Allowing ALL Energies to Serve You

Dear Friends,

                      I am pleased to share Grace with you.It is about Allowing the Energies of this vast cosmos to serve us. We have to Think our Oneness with this Universe, our common abode. We just have to go beyond all Limiting thoughts and drink off the nectar of Abundance, the abiding quality of our common homeland.

                      Being out of Grace is like being thirsty in the middle of a mountain river,and wondering when a drinking cup will appear. Just put your face in the flowing water and drink.Being out of Grace is like having the most advanced smartphone, but the battery is dead because you forgot to recharge it.

                       Get real, my friend.The days of sleepwalking and negligient living is such a drag. Time to push the envelope.

You Don't Step in the Same River Twice

Dear Friends,

                      The attachment is extracted from Deepak Chopra's latest book, Power freedom Grace.It is a must read.

                     It explains how we are all united by the Underlying Field of Intelligence that manifests as the infinite variety of the Universe. The same unified field manifests subjectively as the Mind and objectively as the world of material objects.Our essential being is neither the body nor the mind, but the Source of both.

                       We are actually Body-Mind, and our Mind extends beyond our Body into the whole Universe, as part of that same Unified Field.The Body is made of atoms which, in turn, are made of particles which whirl around at dizzying speeds around huge empty spaces in a Infinite Void. These particles emerge from the Void, collide, engage in their cosmic dances, and go back to the Void.Modern science is authenticating what the ancient Scriptures have long said. We come from the Void, engage in our dramas of living and then merge in the same Void.

                          The sub atomic particles are actually packets of information and energy. These have a Mind because their movements cannot be predicted a priori.Therefore our Body-Mind is actually a pulsating pattern of intelligence. It is a dynamic river of energy and information. Radioactive isotope studies show that the Body replaces 98% of all its atoms in less than a year.

                            These latest studies of modern science proves that there is nothing inevitable about anything.As Intelligent entities, we can create anything. Our common thoughts are the creator of all our realities and experience.We just have to be aware of our interrelatedness with everything and then LIVE that harmony with optimism and pulsating energy.

                      Let us be kinder to ourselves, instead of being bogged down by limiting thoughts.And then await the unfolding of magic in our lives and, indeed, of our common life in this beautiful planet that we inhabit.

                          

 

Your Cribbings Block Abundance From Your Lives

    I'm again pleased to share this important article with you. Small variations in our attitudes go a long way in determining how successful we will be in our lives.In my mind, I have no confusion that Abundance is the abiding quality of this Universe and we can command the elements to achieve anything.

                         We all want money, good positions,good health and loving relationships. But the rub is that too often we are in a Complaining mode. Thereby we actually decline the energies coming our way instead of receiving them.This energy of Resistance effectively blocks also those things we ardently want.

                           Secondly, we are terribly blinded by limiting thoughts. This is possible, this is not possible.We have to replace our Cribbings and limiting thoughts with the energy of Abundance.

                    We are all receivers.There is no shame in receiving.It is only the inbreath before the outbreath.There is nothing to give in return for receiving the light of the sun or the gravity that keeps us on earth or the rain that brings life. It is simply the natural flow of things.Abundance is the law of this Universe of which we are an integral part.So instead of being selective, maybe its time to allow ALL energies to come in without resistance.

                           And thereby enjoy your life to the fullest.In being,first, happy ourselves,we are going to spread happiness all around.The hard fact is that, being such unhappy entities,we are only radiating unhappiness now.Let us break lose from our unhappiness prisons.
