Sixty-Three; Building Anew Upon The Rock, After The Time Of Coronavirus


Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them. I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock- Jesus Christ, in the New Testament


We all have had our foundations and beliefs tested. How we move forward from this will determine the future of ourselves and America. It is time to rebuild stronger than ever on the rock solid foundation that the founders of our nation provided for us. We have weathered the the storms of the centuries and come out the other side. Now is the moment that true leaders and citizens must step forward and leave politics and divisiveness in the past. Not unlike the Greatest Generation that stepped forward and pulled together to bring America out of the threat of World War, we need to set aside our differences and concentrate on a common goal to build a better and safer and cleaner world for all of our children. We no longer have the time to not address the issues that we face. Think of this as the war that it really is. Do not be lulled in to complacency. The Politicians and Government Officials Do Not Have Our Best Interests In Mind. Believe it because if you think that they do, you should look at the statistics of how many of us died during the Pandemic. How many deaths could have been prevented if it had been treated as the threat to human life and existence that it really was. Raise your voice and let yourself be heard. The time for cowering in your homes and allowing the lunacy to continue is over. Let us all work toward a common goal.

Be Strong, Stand Tall, Speak Loud, And Make The Difference!

Sixty-Two; The Art Of Faith And Action, In The Time Of The Coronavirus.


     You can't just sit there and wait for success to fall into your lap; once your course is set and your will is firm, you have to make a practical effort. Then you will see that whatever you require for success starts coming to you. Everything will push you in the right direction. In your divinely surcharged will power is the answer to your prayer. When you use that will, you open the way through which your prayers can be answered. Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal Quest


     Success has often been described when opportunity meets preparation. You may prepare all you like but if you do not act when the timing is right then it can also be described as failure. Failure is no longer an option in the time of the coronavirus. We must strive for success with all our energy and willpower to do whatever it takes to know success. One true and good act will lead to a new and greater act. Do not be discouraged by setbacks or failures. Many stories of great success have tales of sorrow and misfortune woven deeply into the back story. We together can overcome any trial that we face. Do not despair! Find joy and divine inspiration in the challenge! I and my Father are one, all that my father hath is mine!

Sixty- One; Becoming The Comptroller Of Your Destiny, In The Time Of The Coronavirus


    Mind  is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a thought with dynamic willpower, it finally assumes an outward tangible form. When  you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the comptroller of your destiny.

    Paramahansa Yogananda, "The Law Of Success"

     Destiny they say is fickle. But it is an untruth, there is nothing that is of chance about it. Through the Scientific Methods Of Kryia Yoga of The Self-Realization Fellowship and the Masters you can achieve Samadhi. (Enlightenment) This is an absolute proven truth. There is nothing to chance about it. By applying the same principles in living your daily life and conducting your self in the manner of an enlightened Being you will be able to change your circumstances. Do not have fear or doubts. Doubts are for the disbelievers and the down trodden. No matter what your circumstances are today, do everything in your power to begin a new path this moment. Move froward with your spirituality and all things will come to you. It is an absolute truth passed down through the lineage of the great souls. They have come before you to shine the light to guide you from the darkness and confusion of maya. Do not be dismayed no matter where you are in your journey. Study the Lessons and put in the time to perform the exercises, both mental and physical. Take the time to meditate. The Self-Realization Fellowship will guide you in your progress and help you to attain your goal. It is a promise and it will be attained by you if you will exercise your willpower toward that end.

Success will be yours.

Sixty; Finding The Imagination To Improvise, In The Time Of The Coronavirus

 

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath


       Do not fear in this time of hardships. Listen to Your Hearts Desire and use your imaginative powers to create your success. Anything that you can imagine or dream can be made a reality. All the norms of society and life as you have known them have been altered by the times you are now living in. Going forward from today you are the author of your own life. Do not allow the world to dictate how you will live your new life in it. The old norms have been shattered, closed, dismantled, or disappeared in the chaos of the Pandemic. It is up to you to define the terms of which you will conduct yourself by. Be strong, fearless in your determination to control your own destiny in the new times.

Fifty-Nine; Overcoming Trials, InThe Time Of The Coronavirus


      “Your trials did not come to punish you, but to awaken you – to make you realize that you are a part of Spirit and that just behind the sparks of your life is the Flame of Infinity.” Paramahansa Yogananda


     Trials abound all around us at this time. They are ever pervasive and daunting. They cannot be allowed to become part of your ether. You must use everything at your disposal to block negative energy from yourself and your environment. Cleansing and clearing negative energy and brining positive and healing energy can be accomplished by smudging your space and self. It is an ancient art and will help you to clear your environment.

    Meditate deeply on positive thoughts and read literature by enlightened masters. Remember that this is a new reset. Preconceived ideas about how things are now are archaic. No longer live under the veil of maya. Step out into the light and join those that are working for the greater good of the world and society as a whole. These are new times and will some day be referred to as the Pandemic Reformation or the Great Renaissance after the Coronavirus. Be a leader of the movement and not a follower. The times make the Leader. The opportunity to have a Lead Walk On Part In The Greatest Show the world has ever seen is yours for the taking. Do not be a shrinking violet. Step up grab the brass ring and command your future. We are and we will not falter. I hope you will join us. May God Bless You and Keep You Well through these times.

Fifty-Eight; Conquering The Thin Edge of Existence, In The Time Of The Coronavirus


      May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

Edward Abbey

     Do not follow a path, go instead and leave a trail. An old saying that has been quoted for time in memorial. The quote that has always drawn my attention is the Beaten Path is for Beaten People. Be a pioneer in life. Climb your own mountains and choose your own routes. For me writing has always been a double edged sword. It is my passion and my nemesis. To write one must be sedentary and face a blank page or a computer screen. The quote that has always helped me is In The Mountains Nature Draws A Razors Thin Edge of Existence. If You Accept It And Step Over It You Must Conquer It Or It Will Forever Conquer You. Move forward in your path toward the culmination of your trail. Writing a blog helps me write. My Collection of stories is being submitted. My blogs make me sit and compose and write. It has allowed me to complete writing projects and ideas and stories and novels have abounded in my mind and on my pages. Meditating regularly clearing my mind and thoughts striving for a greater purpose in life has allowed for the transformation from talking about completing my writing and meditations. If you don't know how to meditate or are not sure how to begin. The Self Realization Lessons are a wonderful place to start. The Autobiography Of A Yogi changed my life in ways that were incomprehensible to me at the Time.

Fifty-Seven, Proper Living; In The Time Of The Coronavirus

 

     I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
JACK LONDON

     Living in the time of coronavirus is more than challenging when your world is shut down and closed off. However working on ones own betterment and self awareness is tantamount to preservation. You must better yourself and your environment in every way possible both physically and mentally. Nothing in the world comes without effort. When we are free to move forward the world will need strong well organized individuals and groups to help us rebuild. We are all in this together and only by working hard with one another will we be able to rebuild. Take care of yourself and your world and our world will become a better place because of it!
