The word “God” has been put to so much of misuse that it has lost its meaning. Those who use it excessively or refrain from using it have both never experienced the realm of the infinite vastness.

Thoughts for the day
The best way to predict your future…….. Is To create It.
– Abraham Lincoln
Identification with your mind causes thoughts to become compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we do not realize this because almost everybody is suffering from it, so it is considered normal.
– Eckart Tolle
Science is characterized by increasing specialization and ever advancing progress. Different disciplines have lost the ability to communicate with each other…….
– Weber
The mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack & defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information – This is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, crate from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. The mind then gives form to the creative impulse or insight gained
– Eckart Tolle
A tipping point could be reached where people will realize “That data belongs to me”
– Tim Berners Lee
Majorty of scientists are NOT creative is not because they don’t know how to think but because they don’t know how to stop thinking.
– Eckart Tolle
Live Like somebody left the gate open…………
Emotions are nothing but reaction of your mind in the body. For example, an attack or a hostile thought creates a buildup of energy in the body that we conlanger. If you cannot feel your emotions, if you are cut off from them, you will eventually experience them on a purely physical level, as a physical problem or symptom. A strong unconscious emotional pattern may even manifest as an external event that appears to just happen to you. It has been proven, for example, people who carry a lot of anger inside without being aware of it & without expressing it are more likely to be attacked, verbally or even physically, by other angry people, and often for no apparent reason……

Five rules to remember in life
Basically, all emotions are modifications of one primordial, undifferentiated emotion, the closest name that can be given to it is “Fear”. Apart from a continuous sense of threat, it also includes a deep sense of abandonment and incompleteness. It will be better to simply call it “pain”. One of the main tasks of mind is to fight or remove emotional pain leading to its incessant activity. All it can however achieve is to cover it up temporarily. Mind can never find the solution since it is itself a part of the “problem”. You cannot free yourself from the pain unless you cease to identify yourself with the mind. Once disidenfied the mind then gets toppled from its place of power & Being reveals itself as your true nature.
