Choosing a life style

Be careful about the tall claims made by medical practitioners. No one has the power to save a single life.
Last year I had a stroke and I knew immediately that I had one. I also new exactly where the clot had formed. Extensive tests costing a lot of money only confirmed what I had known instantly.
Any way by then it was already too late. all this talk about complete recovery is only a sales gimmick.
I used to say that I wanted "to die with my boots on." I lived my life accordingly. There were signals all along indicating that I am "burning my candle at both ends"
Ultimately a person has to decide how he/she wishes to die and then live accordingly
Happy dieing and living.

Jatra/Theater of Excellence

What you call Theater of Excellence, we practice as Jatra.
It is based on the premise that we are all taking part in a celestial play and that we are all the time playing roles. There is no reason to remain tied down to a particular role. If we do that creativity is lost and the play becomes a bore.
The trick is to keep changing roles as the situation demands and the mood dictates. The idea of excellence is an unnecessary obstacle to spontaneity and creativity.
Excellence is a judgment and it forces us into a comparative frame work, which is restrictive and repetitive.

Making sense of our environment

We have been given 5 sense organs to make sense of our surroundings. But in our preoccupation with sight, we have neglected the other four, particularly the sense of smell and touch. That is why we get a distorted picture of our environment and have to rely so heavily on thinking (or is it speculating) to make sense of the world and our place in it. If we take the inputs from all the 5 senses and process them together in an integrated way, we would understand our environment easily and properly. By giving importance to only the visible aspects of reality what a mess we have made of living!
Birds and animals are definitely wiser than us and would be good teachers.
You are wise to follow angel.

Creator at work

To be able to see the creator at work, the notion of dreadful mistakes, by self or by others has to be wiped out. When things don't work out as we wanted them to and as we had planned, let us simply say "some thing or someone wiser seems to be at work and I don't quite get it".
Admitting that I don't know has opened up things for me often.
I am sure it will work for you too.
Of course every thing is the work in progress of the creator but we don't quite know the "why" and instead of admitting our ignorance we begin to speculate and come up with some absurd theory.
I suggest we stay still and silent and let the mystery unfold.
lots of love

Glow of Wellness

Your post was wonderful news. I am excited for you and knowing that in some ways I have been a part of all this adds to the excitement.
If the mind is kept empty of doubts and fears, ideas come flooding in. You are experiencing the exuberance of a spiritual spring.It is showering me too with a glow of wellness.
The health problems are not a worry. in our preoccupation with worldly affairs, we forget to care of our body. As a result toxins accumulate. The body waits for a while for good sense to prevail and when that does not happen, it takes up the cleaning job upon itself. We need to cooperate with the body at such times. we need to suffer a bit, but this is good suffering because it is actually a healing process.
I would certainly like to be a part of all the activities that are on your mind. They are close to mine too.
At this moment I find myself in the warm company of Sunita and the boys and I am delighted.
may you all spread joy now and all times.

Review and Response

A prompt response is the best response. That way things are rectified without much effort and the effect is spontaneous. What is spontaneous is invariably honest. Also there is no need to say sorry and yet the mind is cleared of guilt and remorse.
Review to be effective has to be a continuous process. Shorter the duration between the act and the review, more effective it becomes.
Love all
