Greatest cause of failure is procastination

Jan 22
Secret of the ages
Among those who have the ability to succeed, the one greatest cause of failure is procastination.
Whatever is being done - all that is being done - in this vast teeming world of ours is being done now. Today. Nothing has ever happened tomorrow.

What u r going to be - what success u will reach - is being decided by the action u r taking now.

Put fear aside - risk failure.
Put fear aside by telling yourself while u may fail if u make the move u desire, ur failure is certain and automatic if u don't make the move.

The biggest danger is in the procastination resulting from ur indecision.

Decide, act and u have a fighting chance for success - while indecision and procastination can have no possible result but failure.


Soul
Another message, I haven't been 'looking' at my Top 5 Passion.

Ambition must be backed up with willingness and determination

Jan 21

Soul
Father, jus watched d korean drama. Such love. But also such drama. My love will be easy. All d drama created by humans.

Today when drafting email to Regional on my part time. Me, mention abt my project. Now I wonder if I can ever get my website. Recently hav access to so many site n there are many books. How can I compete with them? Is it worthwhile to start something that won't materialise.

The secret of the ages
It is one thing to have the ability to do something different, something individual, but doing it is a very different thing. There is tremendous amount of unproductive ability in the great failure of army today. Why did not the men who have it, make something of themselves? Many of those men could be prosperous, successful men of standing in their community, instead of the dregs of society. They had the opportunity to make good. Why didn't they?

You say u long to make ur life count, that u r ambitious to get on. Why don't u? What r u waiting for? What holds u down? Who is keeping u back?
Answer this questions - there is only one - yourself. Nothing else can keeps u back.

Without the energy and the will to succeed, no amount of education, no power on earth outside of one's self can push or lead or boost a person into success.
It is the difficult things in life that develop our mental and moral muscle, that build up courage and stamina.

If our ambition is merely a weak desire to obtain a certain thing provided it does not cost much effort, if we would merely "like to have" a certain thing, there is no magnetism in such milk-and-water purpose.
The ambition must be backed by the willingness and the determination to do anything that is within human power to accomplish the aim. This is the mental attitude that wins.
The habit of being a quitter before the battle begins is fatal to all distinctiveness its death-blow to the development and strength of character and without these no man can be a leader. He must remain a trailer always; he must follow someone else's lead.

If u r trying to get a start in the world but don't feel able to remove the many barriers that block ur way, do not get discouraged. The obstacles that look so formidable at a distance will grow smaller and smaller as u approach. Have courage and confidence in urself and the road will clear before u as u advance.
Magnify ur faith in urself and u will minimise the obstacles in ur way.

The whole science of efficiency and success in life consists in the vigorous, persistent affirmation of our determination and our abilty to do the things we have set our heart on.
If ur determination is easily deflected, if any persuasion can separate u from ur life resource, u may be pretty sure u r on the wrong track.
No tyranny of circumstances can permanently imprison a determined will.

Soul
Yeap, message to continue.

Only as u r equipped for service, can u serve;

Self mastery is a mastery of our world through self-awareness. We can struggle and struggle to make money without success for a lifetime. Or, if we realise just how our inner fear of poverty is affecting us each day, we could completely remove the effects of this fear from our lives and become wealthy beyond imagination without any struggle or effort on our part.
This is only one example of how self-mastery works. Instead of trying to change the circumstances of our life on an exterior level, such as who we are in rship with, what kind of a job we would do, or where we live, we go right to the source and magically change our lives without doing anything.
The Queen of spades teaches us that we only need to stay aware of ourselves in order to master the Universe.

7thunder card for today
Queen of Spades
Whenever this card appears, we r given a special opportunity to achieve much success in our external life by mastering ourselves within.

Today shared with PA on d Intuitive Wellness book. I m glad we r back. No more negative feeling.

Today reading abt Queen of diamond meeting their queens. It is said that this is a meeting of their own mirrors. How well d rship wld depend on how much hav I accepted myself, warts and all. Since I m fine wit CFO and now getting better wit Credit staff, I guess its show much I have accepted myself.
Today, I spent abt 2 hours n 15 min on meditation, longest ever.
Spoke to MF. He got himself a bungalow n tied down. Alas, still fell into the trap.
Mmm, his was a balance of mental knowledge.

Secret of the ages
As long as ur mind is an undisturbed thoroughfare, many thoughts are passing through, but u r not halting any of them. Take one idea, make a good distinct picture of it, and immediately your tot begin to group themselves and u have the nueclues of ur desire.
This one thing u do, ideas from the Self within begin to collect around the one thing and u open the way for ur good to flow to u.
Watch ur tot! Examine each tot that comes to u. It may be ur call. Open up ur mind, be alert to things that are happening about u; having eyes, see ye and having ears, hear ye.
Be interested in every person u meet, u may entertain an angel unawares. He may hav a vital msg for u or u may have one for him.
Have u the desire and the wisdom to use the msg in an unselfish way these things which shall be added to u.
Devote ur effort to attaining the realisation that the Mind within is the source of ur truth growth and that the outer expansion of ur prosperity will keep exact pace with the spiritual devt that takes place within.
Only as u r equipped for service, can u serve;
Only as u serve are u of value to others;
only as u r of value to others, are u paid.

Soul - was just reading this when updating my blog. Today on 27 Jan, I finally focus on the 1st path - equipped myself for service. My plan is now just to focus on in-depth learning on whatever i resonate with cos it will be my 'equipment'.

Enlightenment is easy, keeping it is difficult

Jan 19
Father, this mornin, I did kapala bhakti at a slower pace. I used to rush along so that I can finish and infact can be breathless. Jus like my swim. Now I am doing it at a slower pace. Keyword for me; calm down. It is ironic, I may look calm outside but inside is agitated, afraid to stay at one place for long, always looking out for more, for next.
I wil change my top 5.

Intuitive wellness
Practice detachment
I urge u to let go the things to which u cling.
If u r meant to have something or someone in ur life, they will not leave u. People, objects and situations are woven like the threads of a fabric; the nature of the weaving will determine whether it holds or not. You can mend and patch, but if a tear is meant to be, it will happen. So be at peace with the way people and objects weave through ur life.
When people practice detachment, they report feeling more joy, freedom and balance. That's because with greater detachment, u create the space for life's synchronicities to enter ur journey and more fully tune in to ur innate wisdom.

Daily intuitive wellness
Enlightenment is achieved by working in a disciplined manner on ur spirit-led path. This is not an easy task, but it is an important one, because ur daily spiritual practice is ur connection to what is true about ur life.
The truth that comes from innate wisdom deep within u is the centering device that will assist u in maintaining balance in ur Being.
I have heard it said "Enlightenment is easy, keeping it is difficult"
In order to successfully develop ur intuition for daily wellness and abundance, give ur practice and intention priority in ur daily schedule.

Spiritual teacher
A teacher cannot teach anyone who vibrates higher than the teacher himself.
Develop ur own sense of intuition so that u r clear inside about which teacher u shld work with and for how long.
People who hav no third chakra energy of their own attach themselves to a teacher or teaching. They lose their sense of self while claiming devotion, but devotion is a process of the heart chakra and not solar plexus. Your path is best served by loving kindness and balance.
A teacher will empower and assist u in realising ur God-given wisdom and strength, and encourage u to share what u have learned with others, in ur own way and using ur own nature.
When the right teacher arrives, be grateful. Participate as fully as u can, using ur innate wisdom and ur faculties of reason to discern both the teacher and the teachings.
Be willing to share knowledge with other, and understand that when someone offers u advice, whether u take it or not, they are demonstrating that they are ur teacher. Make note of their act of kindness and sharing.
Be a disciple, whatever u do and with whomever u come in contact. You never know who is a Buddha or angel in disguise.
Know that ur greatest teachers will be the discoveries that lead to what innately lies beside u.
Be thankful for the blessing of being alive and having the power of mind and truth of heart to change ur world and help others do the same.

Your eternal soul flows like a river throughout eternity. When left unrestrained, it will follow its own natural impulses, drifting and rushing toward the ocean of wisdom, the one true source.
Do not restrict ur consciousness wit negative tots or emotions, or u will stagnate. Allow the pure, living waters of ur soul and consciousness to refresh urself and others.
Allow ur soul, mind and body to flow into wellness, enlightenment and peace.

The rewards; hearing ur body messages, sensing the energy moving through ur personal energy system, resolving emotional and physical pain and developing trust and confidence in ur own innate wisdom.
Inner healing is indeed within ur grasp and the time is to embrace it now.


Jan 19 evenin
Jus now CEO again reiterated I cannot tell Regional everything. I was calm and ok abt it. But now ego wan me to look at it n said CEO is talking abt d leave issue n continue to say I won't hav part time without her.
Well, I won't listen. CEO saying no abt Regional has been there since eons ago. As for d leave matter, I leave it to CFO to handle.

Alas, budget is over. I was worried I can't do it wit the vegetarian period. Alas I did it and m glad my staff is supportive. Today had a good chat wit one of my staff. We both pledged to learn from each other, me to loosen my parameter and he to create a parameter. Me to loosen ego and he to create ego.

The secret of the ages
The men to whom riches and abundance flow so easily are those who have widened their channels by looking for plenty, expecting it, and by preparing for it through continual and ever-increasing service. They never hoard. They never look for safety only. Their credits never have a chance to freeze because they keep them moving, working, digging their channels even deeper and wider so that more and more keeps flowing in.

The great River of Life is a river of plenty. Cast urself and ur fortunes into it confidently, believingly and it will carry you on to the Isle of Plenty. Mistrust it, struggle against current, and it will wreck u on the Rocks of Want.

Soul - what a coincidence, same msg - broaden my parameters. I admit I haven't been looking at my Passion. Thinking its a wishful tot, perhaps jus focus on partial retirement instead.

A healthy nobody vs a crippled somebody

Jan 18 Evenin

Father, today I didn't meet the deadline that I committed. Previously I wld ensure that its met. I will push my staff and myself to meet our commitment especially since we already asked for 1 day extension. It wld be a no no. Today, I looked at the time n know I will hav to stay back till 8.30pm to complete n I was reluctant n beside Regional also left office. I ask extension again n this time didn't even give justification.

As I was driving back, an insight came to me; a healthy nobody or a crippled somebody and I choose a healthy nobody and I cried n cried cos I lost myself. Me who is always somebody and now have to be a nobody.
Cripplin someone who is always rushing to be somebody is a perfect lesson.
I jus wan to be healthy and happy.
Will re-look at my Top 5 Passion again.

Today my card Nine of spade. When I read it, I tot what cld it be. Little did I realise that its me ending my ambition to be somebody. Little did I realise I jus wan to be happy and healthy.

Sadhguru's msg
All has become stillness. As everything that is moving and unmoving is me.

Today, didn't watch tv cos brother wan to watch. M surprised. While I am disappointed but m fine.

Third chakra - solar plexus (auto immune)

Jan 17
Father, m not sure. But a few mths back, I tot of buying Louis Hay's book on illness cos wan to use it to help people.
I wan to help myself.
When I was doing meditation, tot of specialising in autoimmune disease. Autoimmune is a form of self-defense. For it to be over-acted means, I used it a lot. For me, my self control used on myself n environment. I used it a lot.
Last week was stressful n these 2 days, my RA swelled but m ok.
Let me work on my RA. There mus be a key. Many many people has it, let me unlock d key.


Jan 18
Today meditation, I can't seem to connect. Tot of korean drama came in. Guess shldnt sleep immediately. Jus realised, when ur self esteem is low, u think u not lovable, even if u r, u will reject it. Wonder if it applies to me.
Today RA subsides a bit.
Its been 2 weeks since vege, another 4 weeks to go.
But suria namaskara is good, I like the hatha yoga. Yea, what was previously not possible is possible now. Last sunday, brisk walk, I watched my breathe n it is smoother. I applied what I learned in suria namaskara.

Intuitive welness.
Acid reflux.
The emotional intelligence demonstrates an emotionally reactive nature, even if the emotions are not expressed outwardly. More often than not, this condition results from a lack of connection between the emotional self and physical body.

3rd chakra - solar plexus
Often, a strong emotional energy in 3rd chakra due that says, "I am invicible" can result in behaviour that says "I can eat anything; I can put up with anything or anyone". A tot form such as "I wil not be denied" has the same effect.
Cell typically shows the emotions of worry, overwhelmed, frustation or repressed anger.
U will often find anger that specifically stems from feelings of injustice and disappointment within the cell membrane of the stomach.
"I can't take this anymore" is a common cry that began long before the condition surfaced.

The spiritual intelligence is abt learning to keep things in balance and perspective, continuing to self-inspire and self- motivate.
The shadow teachers of this condition are feelings of overwhelmed and acting out with overeating, overwork or any other "overage".
Learn to honour and respect urself is the spiritual gift.
As u honour and respect urself, u will gain spiritual clarity and understand ur destiny.
No longer will u push yourself, ur body or anyone else.

This respect is born from an understanding that life does change and that all u can do is listen deeply to ur rhythm and follow the beat of ur own drum.
You will no longer try to conform to others' schedules or make them conform to yours. Simply listen and do ur best.
Patience is essential as u learn to let go of things or people whom u cannot control.

Not stuffing down ur emotion is also an important spiritual and energetic metaphor.
As u begin to listen to the physical, reactive anger of ur stomach and become more careful abt what u put into ur body, u will also begin to care more about the physical and emotional environment in which u place urself.

Self satisfaction will begin to arise from taking these small, inwardly directed steps. What is eliminated is the previously pressure-filled mind ruled by the tendencies of perfectionism, anger and fear.

This condition teached u tat u may not be in control, but u always have a choice about how u respond and care for urself. U learn to honor ur dreams and goals.
And by listening deep within to ur wisdom, u know ur true destiny.
Consequently, u begin to walk along with life, not chase it down like a wild steer.
Nor do u run away from all that is yours.

Soul - this is me. Also read that 70 percent of immune system is in this 3rd chakra. The imbalance causes my RA.
True, in career, I chase n excel, can handle anything and anyone thrown to me. Until I finally admit I can't take all.
As for my destiny, I ran away from it.
But now m willing and able to let go of my control and I have meditation to stabilise me.
Balancing slogan
I love and respect my body
I move easily with the changes in my life
I honor my personal vision
I am kind to myself
I am calm
I feel supported.
Breathing deeply into my body, I calmly remember my destiny and know that all is well.

Arthritis
The emotion that is usually found within arthritis is a deep internal tension constructed from fear, inflexibility and uncertainty.
Fear of moving forward, the inability to release old hurts that have turned inward, and confusion about the direction of a person's life can be found in the heat and chemical imbalances of the joints and surrounding tissues.

The spiritual intelligence is to have freedom of movement, freedom to be oneself spiritually, and freedom to creatively express one's self are the core teaching.

You look at the attachment to beliefs and issues that currently hold or have held u back from ur dreams and goals. You need to ask what ideas, values, things and situations are worth holding onto. Only u can decide as u reach deep inside ur bones and find out what moves u and how u r to express ur dynamic spirit

Balancing slogan
I live in a state of joy
I am open to life
I freely express my creative spirit
I feel joy in my bones
No matter what, I love my life
As I breathe in, energy spinals around my joings and bones, allowing me to be healed, open and free.

Afternoon
Father, yeap, today felt little joy during meditation. Found myself less connected to Universe. Guess d period of celebration is over. Last weekend, RA and my cough put me in perspectives.
I wonder where my joy gone. What's next.
Osho card
1. Question
Gratefulness
Winter and summer are both needed for growth. Once this idea settles in the heart, then each moment of life is of gratitude.
Accept life as it is. Accepting it, desires disappear.
One becomes a buddha, the moment one accepts all that life brings, with gratitude.

Soul - yea, now is d period of calm. I realised that whenever d period is calm, ego is restless, asking what's next? Always rushing.
Well, learning abt my solar plexus, I will ignore its rushing mode into future. Jus be.

2. External influence
Renewal
When there is no past, when there is no future, only then is there peace. Future means aspiration, achievement, goal, ambition, desire. You cannot be here now, u r always rushing for something, somewhere else.
The past is not, the future is not, only the present is. To be in the present is to be alive, optimum - and that is renewal.

3. Seed of transformation that may not be aware
Gates of Heaven - heaven and hell are not geographical, they are psychological.
Heaven and hell are within u. The doors are close to each other. With jus a change of mind, ur being is transformed.
Whenever u act unconsciously, without awareness, u r in hell; whenever u r conscious, whenever u act wit full awareness, u r in heaven.

Soul - my ego is saying what's next. Is this all that u hav got to show? You r not something? Where is ur calling??? Why u not doing anything??
Soul - it is never enough for ego. Everytime I conquered my fear, he will ask for more and more. Well, this time I ignore. I m slowly comin to realisation that my autoimmune is from my rushes. And I can rush becos I was disconnect from my feeling. Cos my feeling is saying no no, acid is boiling n endangering my joints. So, this is me not rushing myself. Like now, no external push but I can sense d ego internal push. Well, not this week. I be nobody as long as it help me to reduce my solar plexus activity.

4. Direction of growth
Recognition
The longing of the mind is to be extraordinary. The ego thirsts and hungers for the recognition that u r somebody. The ego cannot tolerate being nobody.
And this is the miracle, when u accept your nobodiness, when u r just an ordinary as anybody else, when u don't ask for any recognition, when u can exist as if u r not existing. To be absent in the miracle.
The experience of nobodiness is exactly the meaning of nirvana, of nothingness, of absolute undisturbed silence, with no ego, wit no personailty. There is nothing to lose. And if u think anything is lost - ur name, ur respectability, ur fame - they are worthless they r playthings for children, not for mature people. It is time for u to be mature, it is time for u to be ripe, time for u just to be.

5. Key to integration
Meditation
Whenever meditation is separate from life, something is wrong. It becomes life-negative. Then one starts thinking of going to a monastry or to himalayan caves. Then one wants to escape from life, because life seems to be a distraction from meditation.
Life is not meditation, life is an occasion for meditation.
Be careful, careful of everything. And don't make any distinction between things, that this is trivia and that is spiritual. It depends on u. Pay attention.
Spiritual is imparted by you, it is ur gift to the world. Meditative energy is alchemical. It transforms the base metal into gold. I goes on transforming the baser into the higher. At the ultimate peak, everything is divine. This very world is the paradise, and this very body the buddha.
Soul - I admit I separate. I admit I don't bring in meditative mode when I open my eyes. This is the start. I will be aware. Everything is spiritual and since my ego is on rush mode. I need to be quiet to listen to my bodyily emotion.
 
 

Intuitive wellness

Jan 16
Father, jus started d book on Intuitive Wellness. When I bought d book, I tot of my RA. I know reading d natal chart, asking me to beef up my intuitive skill has led me to buy up all d books on intuition.
I felt there is something big here.
Now in d market, normally I wld be roaming around looking for fresh produce, don't mind d people n smell. Today, don't want to. The place seems overwhelming n I don't wan to go in. At first I tot is becos I can't eat meat so don't wan to look. Now I realised its becos of d energy.

Intuitive wellness
You undertake this journey, which leads u through the process of self-discovery (realisation of your connection to God) and onward into self-mastery (actualisation of the God within u).

James - deep early childhood scars, and he continued to assert control over the things and people around him in order to feel safe. His heart was shut down and his feeling for his spoused waxed and waned. I place my hand on his chest, and the impact of energy from the buildup of congestion there was so strong.

Two sacred laws
1. I will commit to my intuitive wisdom, honouring and trusting whatever comes to you.
2. Live in the moment. Do not place worry or burden within these precious moments; they are a distraction and they deplete ur energy.

Trusting your intuitive wisdom and being present in the moment, will not, of course, mean life will be free of struggles and challenges but it will mean u r living ur truth as closely as u can. You will continue to learn and evolve. However, the learning will be filled with more truth, wisdom and joy. And life will become smoother - one of the truly pleasant aspects of developing yourself intuitively. Any challenges you encounter, will seem to roll off your back. Your wisdom will direct your power. As a result, fear will diminish and at times disappear.

Soul
Jus now S called me n we shared our experience. She said she continue cos she wan d benefit. For me, I jus enjoy doing it. Am not sure of d benefits. Hatha yoga at first I attended for RA. Little did I know it was meant for Samyama.

Intuitive wellness
Intuitive development rest on the fourfold Intuitive Healing model
1. Practice meditation and stillness (Doing)
2. Consciously move energy (Doing yoga)
3. Apply skills everyday
4. Experience effortlessness.

Your daily practice depends on the development of discipline. Discipline will assist u in creating the space in ur life for ur practice. The discipline u cultivate expresses honour and loyalty to urself and ur chosen path. It also relates to ur devotion to ur spirit, body, mind and ur spiritual source.
The important point is this. If u know but you do not do, u don't really know.

Soul
Effortlessness is my key vocab. Hatha yoga is effortless.
Shoonya is effortless
Connecting to my Source is effortless
My staff says my life must be mostly moving up, no major up and down unlike others.
My course mate says my life is lucky. I graduated from my course effortlessly.

Intuitive wellness
Thought forms create ur reality. Like prayers or mantras, they are charged wit energetic levels of consciousness and certain emotional essences. These emotional charges are catalysts for manifestation.
These thought forms are the chatter that subsconsciously direct emotions, behaviour, biochemistry, and a host of other aspects of human existence.
Mastering ur mind to bring about wellness takes time, discipline, self-awareness, persistence, kindness to urself and others, and a deep awareness of the universal love always belonging to u.
You can be free of ur mind's limiting beliefs and ur body's disorders, diseases, and misalignment if u commit to ur wisdom and allow it to propel u forward, however gradually.
Simply hold the awareness of unlimited consciousness that is naturally within u.
If u don't like what u see, feel, hear or know, change ur thought forms.

Your calling generates feelings in ur heart, not in ur gut.
If the body sensations that ur passion, ur inner calling, generate in ur heart, u r on target.
If ur heart yearns, but the sensation r stronger in ur gut, u r off target.

Along ur spiritual path, u may encounter dark nights of the soul when u feel lost, powerless and alone in the world.
If u experience this, write the following in this order
1. Trust
2. Faith
3. Power.

If u feel power, u hav faith in urself, in God, faith in what u r doing. Further, if u have faith, u will have trust - trust that the outcome of all things will be for ur highest good. U will trust in the universal support system that weaves its way throughout nature and life itself.

Seventh chakra - crown of head. When u r deep in prayer or meditation, u will feel a tingling sensation like buzzing. It is a signal that all is well and that u r connected to God's omnipresence.
Connecting with the power and consciousness of the seventh chakra can lead u to pure rapture, unity and bliss. You will feel the purity of ur being. You are truly one with the Source.

Soul
That what I heard, buzzing sound. At first, I used to tot its d aircon noise at home. Then I experienced it during sathsang and in Ashram. I know that its not.

The 3rd chakra - solar plexus
Personal power and will
It is the willpower that drives a person's self-concept.
- 70 percent og body immune system
The 1st chakra - tailbone
Survival - immune system.
