Do not neglect rest?

Do not neglect rest—

Your working capacity is increased for every added hour of true rest.

What are the facts of being?

What are the facts of being?

Do not neglect rest—your working capacity is increased for every added hour of true rest.

You are not wasting time when you lie down and dream.

The hardest road leads up the highest mountain, and there is rest at the top.

The idle hours are sometimes as valuable as those that are spent in labour. It is in so-called idle hours that you meditate, get acquainted with yourself, and build air castles, which are working plans for your edifice of the future.

Whatever you desire or love begins at once to travel toward you unless a stronger force from a different direction draws it away.

He who adjusts to environment adjusts even to unrest. Remember that.

To know the meaning of home, you must wander.

You are not a creature of fate. Set that down as a truth not to be denied. You are free to live your own life.

The human ego is coming into its own. When it loses selfishness, it will find itself. That is not a paradox for its own sake, but the statement of a psychological fact.

In unity is strength―In disunity is disintegration.

I wish I could make you see that separation is death and that unity is life.

I wrote the other day about adepts and masters. Jesus is a type of the greatest Master. He is revered in all the heavens. He grasped the law and dared to live it, to exemplify it. And when he said, The Father and I are one, He pointed out the way by which you may realise mastership in yourself.

Jesus of Nazareth is a reality. As a spiritual body, Jesus, Who dwelt in Galilee, He exists in space and time, as the Christ, the paradigm of the spiritual man, He exists in the hearts of all who awaken that idea in themselves. He is a light, which is reflected in many pools.

Wake up to your divinity within.

You are not of flesh and blood and bone and sinew, but you are a state of consciousness. It is because you recognise their state of consciousness as being themselves that men and women reveal themselves to you.

There is a beautiful being in everyone—the bird that sings in the heart of an earthquake, the rose that nestles in the hot mouth of the cannon, the pearl that cannot be crushed by the landslide, the angel that illumines hell.

When you become your own schoolmaster, you make great strides.

You can create almost anything if you imagine it strongly enough—even joy and courage.

You have a choice to choose anything you want in this world. Why do you not choose joy?

When you learn to think of life as a whole, of which you are a part, containing in yourself the potentialities of the whole, then you will look upon the great changes with joy.

The supple tree feels the wind, but its roots cling tightly to the soil and the rock of individuality. In the wind that sweeps across the world, cling tight to the soil of freedom and the rock of social responsibility.

You can survive the world if you do not lose your hold on the soil and the rock that has steadied and sustained you.

What a wonderful expression, being together! What poetry! Not working together, nor playing together, but simply being. You must often have felt that joy when with a loved friend. Words are not necessary for that enjoyment. Words often lessen the enjoyment by the very effort of uttering them. Effortless being. Even the birds enjoy it, and the rose could give you valuable secrets of that joy.

What is the best by far how to meditation?

In the writer's opinion, this meditation exercise proves to be the best by far how-to meditation exercise.

OMNI, a non-physical group entity, emphasises that as you tap into the broader consciousness of your soul, you tap into the Universal Mind and the Source of All Life.

Connecting daily to the Source of Life will greatly assist you to create a life that is more joyful and fulfilling.

Set aside twenty minutes. This is now your quiet time to be with yourself. If you prefer, put on some soft melodic music—light a candle. 

The idea is that you create an atmosphere that is relaxing, nurturing and calming for you. 

Find a comfortable place to sit and get into a position you can hold for at least fifteen minutes. As you sit there take three deep breaths. 

On the exhale, release all unnecessary thoughts. As you clear your energy, feel within you the intention to align and merge with your soul. 

As you feel your intention to do this, state it out loud or within your mind. State that your intention is to merge with your greater self—with your soul.

I now intend to merge with my greater self—with my soul.

Close your eyes and focus on your breathing—allow yourself to relax. Let your lower jaw open slightly. 

Now breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. 

If breathing in through the nose is difficult for you, then it is alright to breathe in through the mouth. 

Simply continue this breathing and focus only on the breath. 

Bring your attention to your breastbone in the centre of your chest and focus on it as you feel it rise and fall with each breath.

Breath is all that you are—You are breath.

Continue to focus on the breath. If any thoughts trundle across your mind, then consciously refocus on your breathing. Eventually, you will slip away into your inner realm. 

Continue this meditation for at least fifteen to twenty minutes. 

At some stage, you may sense movement. OMNI explains that this movement could be a sense of rotation within you—or your arms may feel as if they are lifting—or you may feel an involuntary movement of the neck. When you sense this, you know that you are deeply connected with your soul and the movement is your soul adjusting your energies, so that you may accommodate more of it.

Do this meditation every day.

Meditate when you feel energised, not when you feel tired, as then there will be a tendency to fall asleep.

The goal here is the conscious merging with you soul-self.
