"The Power of Sillence!"By Amir Zoghi

“Often, to say nothing is more powerful than having to say something”
— Amir Zoghi —
Say what you will Joseph but what is the point if what you’re saying is not for those that you’re trying to share your message with? Give your message to those who seek it, share yourself with the ones that are open to receiving you. If you are finding that you need to prove what you have to say and that you ‘need’ to say it rather than are inspired to say it, it may be wise for you not to say anything at all.

"The Flesh is Weak but the Spirit is Willing!"By Shamala Tan

Article Of The Week - When The Flesh Is Weak

Does this statement make sense to you: "The mind is willing but the flesh is weak"?
I tend to think that if your mind is willing, your body will obey your mind to get into action. Unless of course, you were just entertaining the idea of getting the task/s done and you were just really living in an illusion that your mind was willing.
As a small business owner or a solo-entrepreneur, discipline is such an important aspect of your daily exercise as you do not have a boss to be accountable to. You are only accountable to yourself. And if you lack the discipline to run your business effectively, then it will show in your business bank account. No one else is to blame. Nothing else is responsible -- not the economy, not your potential clients/customers, not Wall Street, not your geographical location (Unless of course you were trying to sell umbrellas in the desert!).
So what does it mean when you are just so overcome by inertia that you just can't wake up for the 7am breakfast business meeting? Then you are probably not cut out to run your own business and you are in fact better off being a salaried person. It is a matter of commitment.
Running your own business is a path of learning with many initiations to pass including: staying focused when the going get tough; having a marketing plan; knowing your ideal clients; money management; developing self and never stopping the learning process; and most of all exercising discipline in mind, body and soul in the use of time, energy and money.
Many solo entrepreneurs I know think, what is the point of having discipline when the whole idea about running your own business is doing whatever you feel like at whatever time is most convenient? If you think the same way, then you are not an entrepreneur. You are a free-lancer, hoping to earn some money to pay the rent and feed yourself, full stop. Even the whole idea about wanting to serve and changing the world is based on the false notion that the world has to revolve around your loose plans and unreliable schedule. I know how these 'entrepreneurs' think because I used to be one of them many years ago.
If your business is barely making it, you do not have a business. You have a burden. And if your business is not growing, there is a high chance you are not growing as a person either.
The truth is no willing mind can ever be beaten by the weak flesh.

Sun Moves into Scorpio!By DK

Alright. The Sun in Scorpio, as it will be moving very soon here, is a time period that I‘d say warrants some preparation. Always it can be kind of intensive but we’re dealing with a lot of things. So one of which being old issues from the past or old possessions that you’re holding on to, it might be time to get rid of them. For sure, old emotions, especially so resentment, anger, and fears. Send them away. Give them a good burial of some sort; don’t let them continue to linger.
Get the clean up work done before the Sun moves into Scorpio if you can at all. Then we’re also dealing with a lot of death transit and Scorpio is the one that kind of likes to flirt with that death drama a bit.
Also seeing a lot of fiery tempers and things of that nature coming to the surface so keep working on your own inner peace. Be careful about the company you keep and where you go at certain times of the day.
If you are in an aggravated mood yourself, just stop that task, do something else or take a five minute break to sing a happy song or a one minute break to sing a happy song and then come back to it. So do little things that keep shifting your consciousness into a positive direction.
If something isn’t going right, generally speaking at this point in time, it’s better to leave it, come back to it later than try to power through it and make it work right. That can be even stepping away from a conversation and coming back to it. It can be stop trying to change the oil and come back later when you’ve had a sandwich and you feel a little bit better. That sort of thing.
So tempers can get too violent right now during this time period. Do watch out for that. So this Sun in Scorpio, it’ll either be wounding or it’ll be healing. It’s going to go from one polarity to the other. I would suggest that you choose healing.
Alright. Thank you and my love to you,
Djwhal Khul

~ Sutta Nipata

May all Beings Be filled with Joy and Happiness
May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere,
The strong and the weak,
The great and the small,
The mean and the powerful,
The short and the long,
The subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere, Seen and unseen, Dwelling far off or nearby,
Being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy. Let no one deceive another, Let no one anywhere despise another, Let no one out of anger or resentment Wish suffering on anyone at all. Just as a mother with her own life Protects her child, her only child, from harm, So within yourself let grow A boundless love for all creatures. Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.
~ Sutta Nipata

Chapter 4, Verse 35

Chapter 4, Verse 35
"When steady wisdom is yours, Arjuna,
You will never fall back into confusion.
In its light, you will see the entire creation
Within your own Atman
And yourself in me."
Swami Shivananda:
"Krishna is saying to Arjuna in so many words, 'When you make this wisdom
continuous, you will never again be subject to confusion or error. You will
behold the underlying basic unity. You will directly experience through
intuition that all beings from the creator down to a blade of grass exist in your
own Self and also in me.' "
Sri Eknath Easwaran:
"Some people have occasional flashes in which they see the unity within life for a short time. Although they treasure the memory, they customarily fall asleep again, caught once more in the dream of separateness. Just as among dreams there may be a few significant ones which strengthen us inwardly, so too in the waking state we may have an occasional insight into reality to inspire us forward. Waking up permanently into a higher level of consciousness comes as the result of sustained Sadhana and grace. Occasional flashes of unitary experience are indication only of a latent capacity which can be cultivated through the practice of meditation and the accompanying disciplines in order to finally wake up completely one fine day, never to fall asleep again."
Eckart Tolle:
"Who am I then? The awareness prior to thought, the space in which the thought or the emotion or sense-perception happens."
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi:
Re: “In its light, you will see the entire creation within your own Atman and yourself in me”...
“This implies a complete understanding of both the absolute and relative fields, of the relationship between them, and of God presiding over both.”
[How can “the absolute” be presided over? It must not be “absolute” after all, if there is someone or something beyond it. It might be more apt to substitute “non-relative” for “absolute” in the above statement, saving the “absolute” designation for the Supreme Self, the Purushottam, Krishna himself, as in… “…a complete understanding of both the non-relative and relative fields…and of God presiding over both.”]

The Best Time to Meditate!

Sunrise. Sunset. Midnight. Noon. Three in the morning. Three in the afternoon. Right after you wake up. Right before you go to sleep. Later. Now.
There are a lot of great times to meditate, but there's one that sticks out for me as the absolute best time to meditate, especially if you practice Heart Rhythm Meditation: when you don't want to.
The more you don't want to meditate, the more you need to. There's probably something you're hiding from, and your heart knows what it is.
Now, I'm not saying we should all meditate all the time, because we have work to do. We came here to create, to express, to build, to change, to enjoy and to experience all that life has to offer. But I do feel that every day should contain some time spent feeling the beating of your heart, experiencing your breath flowing in and out, feeling your emotions deeply, and connecting with the purpose of your life.
Here’s an idea that will help you get started: place your hand on your heart, and take eleven breaths. That’s it. Just eleven breaths. You can take more, but don’t take less. Even if you breathe very slowly, this exercise won’t take more than a few minutes. You can do it anywhere, driving a car, standing in line, taking the bus, whenever you think of it.
Over time, taking eleven breaths through you heart each day may make you want to spend more time with the incredible feeling of energizing your heart. I encourage you to follow this feeling. But even if eleven breaths is all you ever do, you’ll be making a big impact on your heart and in your life.

Mayan Myth: The Dwarf of Uxmal

Mayan Myth: The Dwarf of Uxmal
Central to the city of Uxmal is the great Pyramid of the Magician. It is an interesting structure that carries with it a more interesting tale. Legend has it that a new king would come to rule the city when a magical "gong" was sounded in the nearby jungle. One day such a sound was heard in the surrounding hills, and a dwarf magician-god named Itzamna appeared in the central city.
(In Mayan religion, Itzamna is considered as a supreme god. He is second only to Hunab Ku, but he is less abstract than Hunab Ku and more representations of him can be found in the archaeological record. Insofar as Mayan religion was moving towards monotheism, Itzamna was considered an aspect of Hunab Ku, not as a separate divine being. As founder of Mayan culture, Itzamna refused to have anything to do with wars, violence, or human sacrifices. He was a god of peace).
The City-King, was not ready to give up the realm to a stranger, ordered the young "God" executed. But unrest among the villagers (nearly 25,000 of them) forced the king to issue the dwarf-boy a challenge. The king agreed the boy could live and become king if he could construct a grand pyramid overnight. Confident he had saved his rulership and kingdom, the Maya lord slept soundly through the night, only to rise the next morning to witness the appearance of a huge pyramid, the Pyramid of the Magician, which the boy apparently had built with magic in a single night. The boy became the king of the city-state, and legend has it that a period of great prosperity followed. An expansive building campaign furthered the size and status of the city, and Uxmal quickly gained a place in Maya history as one of its more magnificent cities.
(the new translation)
The City King is a symbol of the old world powers. The New King . . . or Kingdom is a symbol of all those that are awakening to a unified Christ Consciousness and the one GOD within. The "Gong" is the sound of the music of the spheres that comes from our awakened hearts. Once we (the dwarves), the ones that are considered small and insignificant in this world, awaken and claim our divinity, the Old King (the powers of the old world) will have to let go of the empire to the new kings. The global villagers are the ones demonstrating (this could be the Occupy Wall Street happening right now.) To save his life, the dwarf (all of us) has to create a grand pyramid (a new world) in one day. This grand pyramid is the foundation for our new world. Because the old kings think we are too small and powerless to create a new world, they let their guard down. We are creating a new world while they live in their denial of the light that we carry. In a flash, we can begin a period of great abundance and Harmony!

Numerological Compatability

In the following weeks we will be looking at relationship
compatibility more in depth. However in the meantime you might be
wondering in terms of numbers, just who gets along best with who?
In this newsletter we have created a bit of a summary of each
number, and who is their best bet in terms of a relationship.
Keep in mind that most relationship compatibility study is primarily
based on the Life Path number (the sum of the birthday reduced to a
single digit). The second most important number to look at in
terms of compatibility is the Destiny Number (the sum of the full
name value reduced to a single digit.) Most numerologists consider
at least those two numbers when creating a relationship
compatibility analysis.
Keep in mind as well that most numerologists eliminate the concept of
master numbers when doing relationship compatibility and reduce the
numbers 11 and 22 to their single digit equivalents (2 and 4
respectively.)
Compatibilities for Number 1

Best: 1, 5, 7
Possible: 3, 9
Challenging: 8
Disaster: 2,4,6

Compatibilities for Number 2

Best: 2, 4, 8
Possible: 3, 6
Challenging: 9
Disaster: 1,5,7

Compatibilities for Number 3

Best: 3, 6, 9
Possible: 1, 2, 5
Challenging: (none, relationships are very black and white and
uncompromising for this number)
Disaster: 4, 7,8

Compatibilities for Number 4

Best: 2,4,8
Possible: 6, 7
Challenging: (none)
Disaster: 1, 3, 5, 9

Compatibilities for Number 5

Best: 1, 5, 7
Possible: 3, 9
Challenging: 8
Disaster: 2, 4, 6

Compatibilities for Number 6

Best: 3, 6, 9
Possible: 2, 4, 8
Challenging: (none - not a number that has middle ground)
Disaster: 1, 5, 7

Compatibilities for Number 7

Best: 1, 5, 7
Possible: 4
Challenging: 9
Disaster: 2, 3, 6, 8

Compatibilities for Number 8

Best: 2, 4, 8
Possible: 6
Challenging: , 5
Disaster: 3, 7, 9
Compatibilities for Number 9
Best: 3, 6, 9
Possible: 1, 5
Challenging: 2, 7
Disaster: 4, 8
As you can see some of the numbers have the capacity to get along
with more numbers than others. The hardest number to get along
with is 4, which has more incompatible numbers than the other
numbers.
There are also many numbers (such as 6, 3 and 4) that simply have
no middle ground - if there are challenges in a relationship it is
next to impossible for them to work on them as they have instant
likes and dislikes.
Of course the above is just a brief guide to which numbers get
along with each other. True compatibility studies are much more
complex than this.
Until next time...
