love makes the world go round

The way to control the mind is to talk to it with love.
Whenever I find my mind wandering I try to control it with force. I try to pull the mind and order it not to think about something. Yet I find that, the more I try to force the mind not to go in a particular direction, the more it tends to go there. The only way to control the mind is to talk to it with love. Just as I would explain to a

To be free from negativity is to be free from limitation.
In many situations I tend to feel helpless and bound by different things and people coming my way. I continue to blame others for my difficulties, but find no solace or solution. I also look for solutions outside, but find none. The real cause of my limitation or my feeling of helplessness is not situation or people but my own weaknesses.

Ask yourself the question: “What would make my office or home a more peaceful place?”

There are many ways in which you can make your office/home a peaceful place, through your own behaviour and the way in which you organize your workplace (office) or home. By functioning from an inner peaceful state and being a peaceful listener, you are able to create meaningful and peaceful interactions

When the body has become unserviceable due to age or disease, or it suffers a fatal injury, the soul leaves the body. At the moment of death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. Like a bird, it leaves the cage made of skin and bones, and taking its “sanskaras”, it enters into another, a new body, in the womb of the new

Detachment adds quality to each and every action.

When we are detached, we will not be bound by the action itself, but will perform the action in a detached way. This means that we perform the action, yet we are not dependent on the fruits of the action. This automatically increases its quality. Then we would be free and uninfluenced by the bondage of the action. In any situation where we find

On the path of Raja Yoga meditation there is a saying, “See, but don’t see! Hear, but don’t hear!” which means to remain aware of all realities, including the negative, but not to focus on them.
We get caught up in the negative because we react and the reactions are expressed in the form of judgements, accusations, criticism, or labelling. As soon as we judge or criticise, we put everything

A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility. When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honored. In fact, none of us deserves anything less.

Stuart Wilde has long been one of my favorite authors. His take on spirituality and the human adventure has always rung true for me and his musings appear like a bright ray of brilliance among all the confusing and often conflicting opinions out there. I pride myself on reading and learning a great deal about many different aspects of human growth and potential and I have to say that Stuart's views are often mind opening and cause me to stretch and grow my mind.

Don't get me wrong… I don't agree with all that Stuart teaches, but his ideas are grounded in a reality that 'feels' true, and that I'm extremely comfortable in recommending to my friends.

So, when Stu asked me to help spread the word about his new blog I was only too happy to help. You can find it at www.StuartWildeblog.com. I urge you visit his blog and check him out.

Our journey through life offers each of us many opportunities to expand and grow and I think that Stuart Wilde will challenge your current beliefs and ideas about life.

Let me know what you think!

New Blog Using WordPress Platform
After much deliberation I've decided to make the switch to a wordpress blog. I'll be making the change sometime in the next few weeks, but instead of trying to import all of the posts from the last few years here I'll simply be leaving this blog alone and beginning fresh with a new wordpress installation.

If you have bookmarked any posts on this blog – don't worry! – they will not be moving. I know that this was a concern that several readers brought up, so I'll be leaving it as is.

The new blog address will be posted here as soon as my web design department is finished with the new layout. Since the web design department consists of me, it is just one of many, many things I'm working on at the moment, but I intend to have it done soon.

I've found that using daily affirmations is the quickest way to help you create positive, lasting changes in your life. The key to making those changes is to change the way you are thinking about life itself. Creating and using affirmations on a daily basis will help you do that.

You CAN change your life, but your ability to change any part of your life is limited by your old belief patterns, many of which have been built up over the course of your life experience. In order to change your old beliefs that are holding you back you need to change the way you think. Don’t be scared! You can do this easily by making and using powerful affirmations on a daily basis.

You see, every time that you encounter a situation or event in your life, (which happens many thousands of times each and every day,) you make a decision. That decision is often made by your subconscious mind because you have made the same decision, in the same situation, many times in the past. You are operating on autopilot. You don’t have to think about and analyze each situation.
