In hate, we do harm to ourselves and harm
others.

The hate we feel is our own hate, caused by
ourselves, and no one else. We are the only
ones who can stop it.

This hate we feel is ours alone and hurts us
the most. We are feeling it, the hate, with
our own heart, our own mind, our body and
soul.

The hate is ours, and we are hating
ourselves as we hate others.

Hate is a physiological activity in our brain and
body. Hate for another begins in us, and stays
with us alone.

When we hate, we are the ones being hated,
the ones we hate are left alone.

When we hate, this hate and resentment hurt
us the most, regardless of what others have done.

Our hate inevitably hurts others, blameless
others in our way.

Hate disconnects our brain and heart, we go
numb with senseless harm… coming from our
behavior.

Hate must stop. We stop hate by looking in
its face and asking hate some questions?

We stop hate by listening to what it says, by
asking our hate what it hates and why? How was
it hurt and what happened? What can be done to
repair the harm? Where is the hate coming from?

Talk to hate as you would a child; hate operates
on a child’s terms. Hate can be extinguished as we
would extinguish hate in a child… by loving firm.

We listen to our hate as we might listen to a child
who has been hurt. We listen and understand. We
give calm to that vulnerable place and space that
has been hurt with hate and harm.

We let the innocence arise where there has been
hurt. We find the strength behind the hate and
grieve the pain that hate has hidden for so long.

“Gold” will arise; the soul will emerge unharmed.

Love may then come, to replace the space once
held by hate. We feel better, are more complete
and strong.

Hate can weaken and fade, as we give it attention.
Hate can lead to a love in full strength, if we follow
the harm.

Hate is good if we listen. Hate is holding the “gold”
of our heart, trying to keep it safe.

If we are patient and strong, hate will surrender
a gift we thought gone.

Love gives us full strength; hate leads to love.

Bad feelings lead us to good thoughts and personal “Gold.”

Find one bad feelings: a hurt or injury from another, a resentment

or ill will of your own toward someone else.

Specifically, there may be someone you do not like, or something

someone did you are not happy about. First, look to those closet to

you; this is the most productive place to begin.

What happened? What is the thought? What are the feelings?

With no judgment of yourself or the other person, take a look;

what do you see and feel? Keep looking. Withhold judgment of

yourself and the other person; simply observe your thoughts and

feelings around the situation.

Slowly, focus away from the thoughts and move toward feelings.

What is the feeling? Where is the feeling in your body? What is the

shape of the feeling; give it a shape. What is the size and color of the

feeling,  give it size and color.

Now, simply observe the feeling and associated thought. Don’t do

anything else; observe and watch.

With awareness, solution will come. Simply observe, without judgment

of yourself or the other person. Observe in a gentle an caring manner.

With the intention of acceptance and love, simply observe.

Immortality works the same, observe the immortal quality of your

soul as your body. Observe and look at the immortal quality of

your physical self.

If nothing happens and you have no “experience” of your immortality,

it does not matter. In time you will, in your own way, understand

your immortal nature.

Your immortal nature is already in existence. It is there as your body,

mind and feelings. Simply watch it, observe, and it will emerge to teach

you who you are.

True love is shared. Immortality
is activated in silence.

Exercise:

Why are these two sentences above presented

together? Think about it; contemplate.

There is no single or correct answer. Your

answer today, my answer, may be different

tomorrow?

Contemplate—grow.

The Immortal Way does not blame.

There is no blame for yourself or anyone else in the way of perfect life. To blame yourself or another is turning back and injuring again with what went wrong.

Allow a mistake to have happened, and correct your direction. But do not dive back to experience the injury again, for no reason. Learn by a mistake. Posses the knowledge of that mistake fully, and move on. Needless blame takes you back and holds you in error.

Take the blame away by taking responsibility for what went wrong. Learn the lesson, and go on.

Mistakes give strength when we take ownership of  the wrong, and learn and go on. To blame interrupts this natural process and keeps us stuck in a place of no power.

We always have a part in a mistake, if it is only our reaction to something someone else did wrong to us. We always have a part in the pain we make for ourselves. To own our mistake in taking on the pain, needlessly, is where the strength comes from… to know our mistake and build strength at that place, the place of mistake.

Pain leads us out of error, but blame keeps us stuck in the pain with no way out. Be careful with blame.  Ask yourself how it serves you? What does blame accomplish? Is it helping or hurthing?

Own your power, by owing up to your mistakes. All mistakes have gold to give. All mistakes have the ability to give back to oursleves our real power we have lost at some point in the past. Mistakes have the ability to give back to us what we have lost. The information of a wrong event is always potential gold.

“When we blame another person for how we think and feel, it disables our ability to live, create and heal.”

A dream, the dreaming process, creates our life… the day dream makes our circumstances, feelings and thoughts what they are.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could control our day dreams; well we can! The first step to controlling the dreaming process is becoming aware, by  gentle attention, to what we are dreaming, becoming aware what we are thinking and feeling from moment to moment.
The easiest way to discover what we are dreaming is to examine our thoughts and feelings.

Ask yourself what you are thinking and feeling?  And why? Are you trying to defend something, protect something or acquire something you want but do not have?

What is on your mind most of the time? Regret, resentment, anger and fear? Then this is your dream. What you repeat again and again in thought and feeling is what you create.

Become aware of what you repeat, and change it to create the world, the feelings and thoughts you want in your life. Make your reality something you want and need. Make it good if you want a good life.

It is important to dream, or become aware of what we are dreaming. Dreaming is how we create our life.

A specific dream may not come true , but it will lead to another dream that may be more important and may come to life. So all dreams are important, and all dreams lead to other dreams that really happen.

The trick or skill of life is to become aware of the dreams you make while awake. If you are bored and unhappy with life, if nothing seems to change and nothing exciting or good seems to happen… this is your conscious dream. This reality is yours that you are making. Anything that happens in life is your dream that you are creating.

So capture your dreams. Know what you are thinking and feeling. Imagine and CHANGE YOUR LIFE if you do not like what you are living.

It is the waking dream that creates everything. It is your waking dream that will bring you misery or provide the greatest joy.

What is your dream to day; how are you living? Change, refine and create the dream that you want. Work at it every day.

Imagine what you want, then think about how you can make it happen.

First dream, then take action.

Dream and action make the best fantasy happen.

Few good things arrive by accident, most are dreamed, acted and practiced again and again…. into existence.

A dream practiced well, over time, becomes reality. Every thought you have, every feeling, is a dream creating your life and place of existence. Dream well.

A life is lived in motion. At rest or at work, it is the same: Our brain, cells, blood and internal organs are moving and working as a vast orchestra in action—electrons, neutrons, particles and waves. We are moving toward immortality, or we are moving away.

We are always going somewhere.

What is your direction?
