Truth about Enlightenment & How to Attain It

King Sidharth — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 06:00:54 +0000

Last year, one of my friends told me that there is a sage in town. People are saying that he is enlightened and recently meditated for 15 days locked in a room. He said that he and his dad were going to meet him and he invited me to join. I thought it’d be fun, so I agreed.

Somehow, I couldn’t reach in time so skipped it. Later my friend told me that the sage had a mobile phone, he even got angry on people and was asking for money too – on basis of all these observations they decided that he wasn’t enlightened. This provoked a greater discussion between both of us about enlightenment.

This discussion, later, grew with other people too. These series of discussion with people was rather a ‘Q&A session’ where they asked questions and I found the answer and clarified. So here is refined version and summary of all that those questions provoked.a

Enlightenment is Not What You Think It Is

Enlightenment is not about ‘never being angry again’ it’s about knowing the way back home and knowing that the reason for anger is inside not outside.

Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfil it – that’s the power of Jesus’s instant manifestation.

Many people believe that Buddha said that ‘desire’ is root of pain and suffering – he never said that. For even desire of enlightenment and desire of no-desire is desire still. Instead he said “The unfulfilled desire is cause of pain and suffering.”

And sure we do agree; when what we want is not fulfilled the suffering begins.

Enlightenment is Not Forever

Enlightenment is not a degree that which once attained is yours forever. It is a state of mind constantly reached for. Buddha, states that always when he talks of nine states of being.

It’s a feeling that comes and goes but since you know way back home – you go there again.

Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfil it

We know that ‘knowing’ is more like a feeling than knowledge and so is with enlightenment – it is a feel that comes when you know that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus and God knows. You’ve been enlightened so many times in this lifetime – you have known that which they knew.

Enlightened People Know, That Which You Don’t Know

Enlightenment is feeling which makes Jesus say, “Seek and you shall find.” It is being-ness from which Krishna says, “All your desires rise from me and are fulfilled in me.” It is that knowing from which Buddha says, “Lotus grows in a pond of mud.” And it is same place from which Abraham says, “You are that which you call God.”

In nutshell, enlightenment is feeling which comes from knowing that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, God, Abraham, Ram, Nature, healers know. And if you will ask of me, “What is that they know? I want to know it too and be enlightened.” At least my friend asked me. I told him, “If you are not ready to listen yet, then it will sounds like most stupid thing to you, but if you are ready then it will make most sense to you.”

Read What They Know, You Might Know it Too

He asked me, “Well how do I know if I am ready?” Well there is no sure shot way – although when you feel appreciate then you are ready – in fact then you know it already – so keep remind this to yourself and when it makes sense then know that in the moment your are enlightened!

Now, the time to tell you what they knew and became enlightened, there are many ways and many words. I will use closest to my heart:

“All is well.”

Jesus – crucified – knows that. Buddha – alone in jungle amoung murderer- knows that. Krishna – in middle of one of greatest wars – knows that. All is Well.

Did it make sense? You are enlightened! Awake! Don’t worry if it doesn’t, you are on your path – keep going. Reading doesn’t equal knowing, you’ve read and soon you will know it too.

How do I know? I’ve lived it – time and again – lifetime after lifetime. Am I enlightened? If you are, you will know if you aren’t then you can’t.

PS: That sage was enlightened or not is not the questions. Was he enlightened in a moment or not… for most of the time or not? I am least worried.

Blogging and the Law of Attraction

King Sidharth — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:00:35 +0000

I’ve been tending to an idea of starting a blog about ‘Blogging & the Law of Attraction’. So this is a post in that direction which will bring in more contrast and therefore more clarity to the idea. Do ask any question that comes in your head while reading this post.

Blogging Vibrationaly

Blogging is expressing your thoughts. No! It’s expressing and broadcasting your thoughts. No! It’s expression; practicing and broadcasting your thoughts therefore intent and therefore chronic vibration to others who will then, help you expand it further.

You think about it, consider it, write it, read it, edit it, publish it, promote it, and give interview about it and comment about it, answer the comments about it and if no one commented then you will complain about it.

So this blogging is a powerful tool of creation – it brings in the subject of attention more quickly. So if you are blogging about how bad your life is – you are fuelling it and if you are appreciation something or someone – you are bringing it in too – Law of Attraction sees to it.

The Law of Attraction Responds to Blogging

So what happens when one blogs? The universal Law of Attraction, the most powerful law that creates worlds, responds to the vibration of that blog, post, words and brings the people, recognition and stuff that are a vibrational match to it.

Notice that I said vibration of words not words, I said vibration of blog not blog. That means that what blog feels like to you and that what blogger feels like is what is on its way to manifestation – regardless of what you put on there.

Universe is not responding to the words in post but what you feel when you write it, what you intent when you write it. That means – how you feel when you blog is more important then the content, design and all of that stuff.

Feel Your Way to Blogging Success

So many bloggers refuse to follow a pattern of tried and tested rules and techniques and be successful. Because they can feel it coming and even before it comes – they believe in it and therefore it has to come.

So the most important thing to consider while blogging is how do you feel? In fact it’s such an important thing that before you take any action you should consider that. Never take action when you don’t feel good. For nothing good can come out of it.

That means, if you are feeling excited and passionate then whatever you will blog will be appreciated but when you blog with an awareness of sucking at it, or that no one comments or that no one cares, when that is active in your vibration then that is what you will see evident.

Blog from Inside the Vortex

So in Esther’s words for Abraham – get in the vortex and then blog. Read the Vortex to know more about the vortex, or perhaps watch a video.

It will be really effective if you can think or do something to raise your vibration and then blog. Meditation, drinking your favourite drink, basking, listening to music, taking a walk, relaxing – all these things can help you tremendously in raising the vibration to a feel good or ‘well being’ place.

Make feeling good before you blog your dominant intent and see the ideas and solutions and all things wanted flood in.

Don’t Give a Damn, and it will come

Often when you care about something, the dominant vibration is opposing the wanted. In other words, we are so worried and focused on opposite of what we want that what we want cannot come.

Honestly, how many times do you check your analytics with expectations of rise and not fear of fall or confused between the two?

It’s far easier for bloggers to ‘not care about it’ and get the success than ‘care about it’ and get it.

Want to see a rise in RSS subscribers? Increase in page views? Stop looking at them altogether! And focus on something that is easier to believe and feels good – it can be conversing with readers, brainstorming new ideas (it feels good doesn’t it?), or maybe even getting off the blog altogether or reading other blogs.

You will often see blogging top-guns giving that advice and they tell you not to care about it because they have discovered that it somehow works if you care about something else. But now you know why that works.

But here is a tricky thing – you cannot stop thinking about what is not working with your blog – maybe its new reader, more income, more subscribers or whatever – but you can think about something else and as your vibration shifts and you get into the vortex.

And as you get into the vortex, the readers, subscribers, comments, money – that has been waiting for you in the vortex meet you. And you wonder where they have always been.

Live Example of This Knowing

Up until know, I was so worried about PageRank of Meditation Rocks! I did everything to increase links and all – result? PageRank dropped! And look at this blog – I hardly update it. It’s a place of feeling good – whenever I feel really good- I write a post for here and share the best of me. Never ever bothering about anything! I never ever tried to build a single link – and PageRank shot-up.

Action Doesn’t Matter That Much – Inspired Action Does

Your actions in your blogging journey won’t matter as much as your intent, feeling and thoughts do. Now this is contrary to what many blogging top guns are calling you to do – ACTION! But they too will agree that hardly people do that.

Truly I tell you, inspired action is easiest way – a done deal. You can raise stats and money by the ‘hard work’ –sure you can – or you can go the easier way – the inspired way. Be happy and then blog.

More Resources

Here is a list of blogs which are full of advice that resonates with working of universal Law of Attraction. Many of them will deny that they are talking about the Law of Attraction – but it’s rare that you are successful without working in harmony with it. Law of Attraction is evident and profound like Law of Gravity – those who fly are working in resonance with it weather they know it or not.

Blogssuion: Alex’s advice and practice is so wonderfully in harmony with the most powerful law of universe. Sometimes I am amazed at it myself. No doubt this post is full of links to Blogssion.
Copyblogger: Especilly Brian’s posts – full of it!
How to Make My Blog
ProBlogger: Must see his inent and positive expectations and positive outlook at work.

I am working on how they resonate with the Law of Attraction. There are many others in the list but these are top 4 in order of preference.

Conclusion

In nutshell, your intent and more than that – your feeling about your blog and the subject of blog will manifest not only in your blogging success but other areas of your life too. The more at ease you are the easier it becomes. So enjoy it and take it easy and see your success flow it.

Do not hesitate to ask questions for your questions will allow us to frame new answers and expand this in new ways.

I really enjoyed writing this and hope you’ve enjoyed reading it too.

The Third Jesus – A Book Review

King Sidharth — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:32:26 +0000

The Third Jesus: The Christ we cannot ignore – by Deepak Chopra

Jesus is in trouble. – Deepak Chopra, ‘The Third Jesus’

My discovery of Jesus was unbiased and untouched by anyone and it still remains so – no man, rule or teacher has any authority over my understanding of Christ. Not that I don’t listen to anyone – but I prefer to keep my own counsel.

Well, this post is not much about what I think of Christ, but what I think of what Deepak Chopra thinks for Christ. I know that sounds funny, so keeping it simple – it’s supposed to be a book review. Not your regular ‘hot or not’ book reviews, it’s my kinds book review – so sit back and enjoy.

The Ground

The title brings in curious question of who is this ‘Third Jesus’ and who are the 1^st and 2^nd too? Here is the intro to the book and the Third Jesus in words of Dr. Chopra:

“One Jesus is historical, and we know next to nothing about him. Another Jesus is the one appropriated by Christianity. He was created by the Church to fulfil its agenda. The third Jesus, the one this book is about, is as yet so unknown that even the most devout Christians don’t suspect that he exists. Yet he is the Christ we cannot – and must not- ignore.”

So this book isn’t about historical facts that question was Jesus was married or not? Nor is it about men declaring war and peace assuming authority of Jesus. It’s about the Jesus and what he taught – what all is life was all about – the message he got from God.

From the Book

In this book Dr. Chopra suggests, and rightly so, that Jesus is not about just escaping an angry God who’s ready to punish you all the time. Jesus is also not about living in fear of sin and seeking light outside.

Jesus is about unconditional love of God. Jesus is about us all being the light that we so much seek.

Here are some points from the book which caught my interest:

The God Consciousness Jesus

Christianity thinks of Jesus as messiah – the saviour. Where else outside Christianity his existence varies from no-one up to enlightened master. But Dr. Chopra takes it beyond, both, Christian and non-Christian standards and declare him to be God-Conscious.

The one who knows God and knows true purpose of existence – and that certainly is in resonance with Christ’s own words.

The Pharisees said to him, “You are witness in your own case. Your testimony is not valid.” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, even though I do bear witness about myself; because I know where I come from and where I am going. You do not know either where i come from or where I am going. You judge me by worldly standards.”

He lived what he taught – his living contradicted beliefs and teachings of many. It was as if he need not even teach what he wanted to say – his presence was enough. He declared that he was the light of the world and so are you – your destiny as same as him – God consciousness.

Turning the Other Cheek

His teaching “When someone hits you on the cheek. Offer him the other also.” Luke 6:29 is so similar to Vedic teachings of ‘Ahimsa’ or non-violence which is based on shift in consciousness. Everything outside is a reflection of inside.

When Jesus says, “turn the other cheek.” He is asking for that shift in conciseness that disarms the enemy. For when you don’t perceive the other one as enemy – there is no war and peace prevails.

The Unconditionally Loving God of Christ

Imagine a life where you are struggling as any other life, but under a ruler whom you cannot love and surely he doesn’t even like you, under priests and religion that demands from you loyalty to your duties and the unloving ruler – surely being influenced by the political games.

Everyday you are told that you sin and you are not loved as much as you think you deserve. In middle of this comes a man and tells you that God loves you unconditionally. He mentions sin next to never and amplifies the reality – the unconditional love of God for all and tells you that no matter who you are – you can enter Kingdom of Heaven.

“You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before all men.” –Jesus

Never before did anyone see you this way – not even you.

Essential Ingredients of Spiritual Life

Here are 9 essential ingredients of spiritual life which, Dr. Chopra suggests, were taught by Jesus:

Meditation
Contemplation
Revelation
Prayer
Grace
Love
Faith
Salvation
Unity

Resist No Evil

You’ve been taught eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth but I say don’t resist evil. If someone hits you, let him hit you twice. If someone sues you in court to get your coat, give it to him and your cloak, too. If someone forces you to go one mile, go two. If someone asks you for something, give it to him. If he wants to borrow money, don’t turn your back.

{Matthew 5:38 – 42}

This teaching of Jesus is so hard to live by – for it defies the natural human behaviour. I will not go in details but Dr. Chopra suggests that the missing piece in resisting no evil, as always, is consciousness.

The Kingdom of Heaven

All sects of Christianity promise an entry to Kingdom of God. Dr. Chopra suggests that Kingdom of God is within and is not a literal piece of land. For Jesus never talks in terms of material – but spirit. Only inner transformation can make the coming of Kingdom of Heaven possible.

Loving your God

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

Dr. Chopra suggests that Christians have split between the select few who can devote their whole lives to loving God and the vast majority who spend an occasional hour on Sunday loving him. But Jesus is not talking about time and effort.

Karma – Sowing & Reaping

Jesus really talks about Krama so much, he doesn’t use the word Krama but “As you sow, so shall you reap.” – tells you the same thing.

What Else the Book Talks About

I’ve not even touched the tip of ice-berg in this post so far. And that’s obvious, we are talking about a book here and this is just a blog post. The book presents so many other aspects that many other authors have never touched, at least not in a way that Dr. Chopra does.

Dr. Chopra talks about whether or not Jesus was real? Will he come back in flesh or blood? What would Jesus think of Gay Rights? What would Jesus tell you about Abortion?

It really is interesting to hear someone take teachings of Jesus and try and talk about present day questions instead of assuming authority over son of God as some elected person.

What I Dislike

I think at many points Dr. Chopra failed to touch the depths of Jesus’s teachings – he just kind of skimmed over it. I am making this remark keeping in mid the parts of book where he really showers Christ conciseness and my personal understanding of Christ.

But I think none but Chirst can do that kind of justice to his teachings. And there are thousands of things that go like unspoken understanding.

Christian Criticism

Now this was so predictable, wasn’t it? They will banish anyone saying anything about Christ outside their circle. Now I don’t blame them – resisting evil (evil or not) is natural for humans and most of Christians are still trying to learn to resist not evil.

I was so like that, an year ago if someone would say anything against Abraham Hicks I might have punched them right in face. But I’ve learned, I hope so, not to resist it.

Most of the anti-Chopra’s-Christ reviews I read pointed out the bits and parts where he disagrees with Christ of Church or rather the image they created of him. Yet they fail to see the unbiased explanation of Christ’s teaching.

They are even against him when he points out the wars that were fought in the name of Price of Peace.

Who Should Read It

Strictly speaking, only open minded people who are ready to accept Chirst as someone beyond just another human teacher and are ready to see what he said from perspective of their higher-self rather than facts and all.

If you are a science lover, you are most likely to think of this book as ‘yet another yap yap’ so don’t bother – because Science is too young to understand all this.

If you ever saw deeper meaning in Chirst’s words than other preach, if you ever felt attracted towards Christ’s teachings or if you ever wanted to hear another perspective on it – the Third Jesus is for you.

Over to You

I am curious to know your thoughts about the book. It’s better if you have read the book.

These were not exactly my views of Jesus but a comment on Dr. Chopra’s views on Jesus, I will write about mine soon. But do let me know what you think.

PS: If you will buy this book from link on my site, I might get some money to buy more books or coffee. Thanks in advance.

The Science of Ideas – From Idea to Creation

King Sidharth — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:57:58 +0000

In Nutshell: If you can hold the new idea in your awareness, with passion, belief or at least hope. The Law of Attraction will yield it to you.

Last month I was chatting with Daniel, my friends from the states. He got an idea about starting a website (won’t go in details – I promised to keep the content of idea secret). Man, he was so on fire with it. It thought he’d have the website up by daybreak the next day. He consulted me over a few things and he even got me excited. After discussion I went to sleep and we went to chase his dreams.

Last night I had a chat with him again, this time he was feeling ‘alright’. And when people say that, what they are really saying is, “Ask me how ‘really’ feel. Something is bothering me.” Then I asked him about the new website. He said, “Website?” “Oh… that one. Well… there are some things I need to sort out.”

And on we went with excuses not to start it. How many times does it happen to you that you get this brilliant brand new idea and after a few weeks you find yourself nowhere near passion you felt for it. The idea that seemed perfect, now seems to be full of flaws!

Now before we go on with finding answers to these questions, let’s have a brief look the science of ideas:

The Origin of Idea

Our world, the leading edge of thought, is full of the best things – right now! We have the fastest machines, the latest iPod the best of everything – right now! And yet we are asking for more… and more and more… (now you know why it’s called the leading edge?)

At the same time our world is full of contrast – it’s so prevalent. We have the richest of rich and the poorest of poor, best of best and the worst of worst – all around us. And when we live this contrast it cases us to prefer between the choices and as it causes us to prefer – the energy that creates world is refocuses to a new time into the new space.

You get the latest iPod, enjoy it for a while and then you find a room for improvements. Voila! A new preference! You draw the perfect painting, write the perfect blog post and enjoy the beauty of it and soon you find a room for improvement – A new preference.

And then you look for a way to achieve that newly preferred state of being. It is not newly preferred iPod – it’s newly preferred state of being with ownership of that iPod. Then you say things like, “There must be a better way to do this.” And that better way to get to the preference is the new idea. That is why you get the ideas you get.

You wanted to be a millionaire and as you relax (more about this later) the idea for million dollar blog comes to your mind.

How to Let the Idea Come

Often people have hard time receiving the new idea. They try so hard to think of a way out and it never happens. This is so because the new idea comes when you are in alignment with your preference or at least when you are not resisting it. When the problem is in your awareness the new idea cannot come – but when your new preference is in your awareness the new idea comes.

And often, you can’t think about the preference at all –without bringing in awareness of the problem that is why ‘relaxed’ state of thought or state of no-thought is best place to idea for come.

That is why a blank canvas is more beautiful then the canvas you worked on last night. That is why it is easier to write a new post altogether then to improve on the previous one. It takes effort to align to the preference. And now you know why experts improve on the current design of their websites and why armatures keep changing it.

The best of your ideas come when you are not looking for them, when you are about to sleep, when you are relaxing – because at that time the problem is not in your awareness and you are not resisting the new preference.

The Future of the New Idea

Now we can find the solution to our original question “What happens to the idea that seems perfect?” And “How can allow that idea to come to fruition.”

I tried to tell the whole story in a flow chart… (click to see full size)

The Life of an Idea

It’s easier then it looks, let me explain the ways it doesn’t work:

You Get the Idea » You Believe in It » You Tell it To Others » They Tell You Why it’s a Bad Idea » You Believe them » The Idea is Dead

You Get the Idea » You Keep your own counsel / Don’t bother what others say » You look at the unanswered questions like ‘How?!!’ »You Doubt it » The Idea is Dead

There are so many ways and the common factor ‘doubting your own idea’. No matter how impossible the idea seems, if this universe can make you dream it, it can deliver it too.

Here is the path that works, all the time – Success Guaranteed

You Get the Idea » You keep your own counsel / or just pay attention to people who don’t discourage you » You Believe It » When questions that you cannot answer come, you hope you will come to know the answer » You do & think whatever makes you feel positive about idea » You move in direction of your inspiration » Bam! The Idea is Reality

The common factor is believing in it no matter what and the answers will come.

To Act or Not

Often people would suggest you to just act on your idea. It is good move but if there are things that you must see to before taking the action otherwise it will be of no use. In fact there is just one thing that you need to see to: how you feel.

How you feel is everything. Every fibre in your body knows how important it is to feel good because when you don’t – something has gone terribly wrong.

If you are feeling hopeful, optimistic, content, excited, passionate or happy then jump right in. Act upon it.

If you are full of doubt, then what you doubt will be the reality not the idea. Do or think anything you need to do to get to feel better. Try to reach the place of hopefulness till then no action.

Eternally Incomplete Creation

JJust say yes to whatever it is. Because if you say yes to it and then you get in the middle of it, and you say ‘ Uh oh, this isn’t really turning out the way I wanted it to,’ then out of that is born another desire. And as you say yes to that, then it turns out. And you say ‘Well,it’s still not quite right.’ So you have another desire…’Til eventually you get it exactly right. You cannot get it wrong. No creation is ever complete. Just do it.

~Abraham Hicks | 15^th February, 2000

Now you know why a web-design is never perfect, why a book and story is never perfect, why each painting you paint is better. Hmm… it is so good to know. Nocreation is ever complete.

FAQs About Ideas

How valid are my ideas? Do I need an expert to test them?

Your ideas are so valid that the moment you have one, whole reality begins to shift. Don’t you feel like a different person when you have this ‘awesome’ idea in your head? Even the coffee you sip tastes different.

The only expert you will ever need to test the idea is you. You can test it by thinking how it feels – feels good? It’s a good idea. Feels bad? It’s a bad idea.

I’ve this brilliant Idea and later I see someone else had it too and acted upon it. Why? And what can I do about it?

The Ideas come from common conscious; it is possible for more than one person to tune into a new idea. But both will perceive it differently – no matter how similar other’s action, words or thoughts might seem.

Google and Yahoo!, both are search engines and yet their idea of it is so much more different – both have their audience.

You don’t have to do anything about it. Just act on your inspiration your outcome will always be unique.

Someone stole my idea. What should I do about it?

If you have a proof that it was your idea, common thing would be to sue them. But what is better is make your idea a reality anyways. Two reasons:

You will have unique outcome because you have unique perspective that no one can copy.
If it was worth copying, it is worth having similar competitor.

Should I talk to others about my idea or should I keep it to myself?

Doesn’t matter, it is not important weather you share it or not. But it is important that you believe in it and practice believing in it so much that even if whole world turns against it – you will still go with it.

If you want to ask for people’s opinion about it – then first grow your idea and when it’s fruition. Because what they think doesn’t matter – its yours and often when you ask for opinion of others you end up doubting the idea.

Often making it public after it’s reality will provide you contrast for further expansion of idea.

But what about brainstorming?

Brainstorming is different case. It is using different perspectives to add to and expand the original idea. Intent of people participation is to believe and add to idea.

So even in brainstorming intent is very important. Look for things that work instead of hanging to things that don’t work.
In Nutshell: If you can hold the new idea in your awareness, with passion, belief or at least hope. The Law of Attraction will yield it to you.

Ego v/s Self – War of the Worlds

King Sidharth — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:24:48 +0000

Ego is bad we are told, ego is detrimental we are told but yet there ego is being embraced by many, including awesome people from self-help and brilliant people from blogging so I thought I’d throw my 2 coins in.

The ego, in bad reference, is – the part of you that thinks that you are superior to others. It tells you to condemn those who are not like you – that’s the part at play with Hitler, with terrorism, with wars and such.

But the ego that good people are referring to is actually called ‘Self’ – and it is the best. Yes I am telling you that being Selfish is good. You can help but be yourself. Self is your existence – your consciousness and it is to be embraced before you can be of any good to you or others.

If you are not selfish enough to bring out the best in you then you are of no use to either yourself or others. Buddhism is based around realization of unlimited ‘self’ – there is no God but self. And that self, unlike ego, sees other with compassion not pity. Jesus didn’t heal with eyes of pity, but with compassion – and so was with Buddha and Krishna.

That self part of you is higher than ego and is ever loving and joyful. We will not get in fight of words for it is the meaning that matters – call it self or ego. When we are happy, we overlook mistakes of others and give everything benefit of doubt – that’s self. When we are in anger or frustration – everyone is cunning that’s ego.

Now I know I am making it sound like not only you should avoid ego but also be your self at best – but it’s not the case for even trying to do such will be egoistic. You can try if you want.

I am asking you to put yourself first. That’s all. When I decide – I decide by my own gut feeling leaving everyone else out of the equation. Isn’t that selfish? Yes! And that’s exactly my point.

Let’s accept that we are here for ourselves. For how long did your lover gave his/her undivided attention to you? Your friend? Or even your mother? Not long… we cannot! We are made to prefer from self – and there is nothing bad in it. For that means that each one of us is responsible for ourselves and free from bondages. We all are free to love unconditionally – such is self that is worthy of all praise. That is indeed true praise of that what you call God.

What about your self and your ego?

Measuring Self Worth

King Sidharth — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:55:04 +0000

Do you look at yourself as a wonderful being that is capable of knowing and doing anything? Do you look at yourself as being who is worthy beyond limits? Do you see yourself from eyes of God? Do you see yourself from eyes of your higher-self / source energy?

Download Affirmation Wallpapers

At times, I my friends rating themselves on basis of: what they scored in their test, how they performed in sports, how much they earn and so on… But is our Self-Worth really depended on outside factors? Think again…

“You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being—not because anybody else says so, not because you’re making lots of money—but because you decide to know it.” ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

Degrees / Education is not your Self Worth

Do you judge yourself (and others) on basis of their educational qualifications / degrees? Why?
Is it so that a person without degrees can’t be wise or good? Is it true that having another ‘degree’ will add to your already abundantly wise self? All these scores, grades and degrees are just another way of saying that you deserve but they are not the only way. They are there to tell you how much you knew at a given time but now, most of them, are irrelevant for you know (and you know that) far more than that.
You have access to all knowledge in world, so just relax and feel worthy, for the people who invented scores and degrees, didn’t have any.

Success is not your Self-Worth

What is success? What is failure? When everything goes as intended, we call it success and when it doesn’t, we call it failure. But really aren’t we getting wiser each time? Are not we learning from so called failures? If you call your learning a failure than the very fact that you learned the language you are reading this in is a failure!
If you failed, try again but not in the same way, try again in a new way, until we know which way it is.

Your Body is not your Self-Worth

The glamorous world around is there to let us know that best is there for us. But we use it as an excuse to point finger at ourselves (or others) and choose to believe that our bodies define our self worth. But we are far beyond this body. More that 99.9% of our being is not body.
How can temporary 0.01% of us (which one day we will throw away like old clothes) measure worth of us?

Money is not your Self-Worth

Are you allowing your bank balance to defining your Self-Worth? Will you be less lovable is you were bankrupt? We didn’t have a single penny when we were born but we were priceless for our parents and so should we think of ourselves.

And More…

I can go on, really. And the conclusion is same- nothing in world can define your worth but you.

So What is my Worth?

“You are worth beyond verbal description.”

~Abraham Hicks

We are worthy of all things, all knowledge and everything we can dream of.
All the good things are made for you, all the nice films are made for you, the KFC, Burger King, Wall marts all these were created for you, I am writing this for you, God created this world… just for you. You are that worthy and beyond.

Then Why don’t I Receive?

“It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.” Sally Field

If we are so worthy, then why don’t we receive what we want? Because we choose to think of ourselves as not unworthy of what we want and hence do not allow ourselves to receive. It is like we ask for chocolate and when it is being given we say no we don’t deserve it. It is that simple.

We are Worthy NOW

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love & affection.” ~Buddha

The point that I want to make is that we are always worthy of everything. It is not that we will be worthy of millions after we do something or after we achieve something. We are worthy in now! We are worthy of best things, knowledge, money, relations, peace etc. now.
When we say, ‘When I will do that then I will be worthy’ ‘To have something you got to loose something’ and anything like that, we are denying our self-worth and underestimating it.
All the problems, procrastination and circumstances beyond control and so on, that keeps us away from what we want rises from feeling and hence vibration of unworthiness.
So feel your worth and allow it to be all yours. It is all for you.

I am worthy of all good, NOW!

Universe Loves It When We Ask For More

King Sidharth — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 18:42:39 +0000

“I want more.”
-Humans

You want something? Of course you do! Every one wants something, someone or some state of mind. It’s our nature. And the desires are increasing aren’t they? It’s human too. All day long we are seeing the world and creating more desires in us. We want more and than even before be had want we want we want something else.

If you think I am going to criticize this human nature, than you are wrong. I am going to tell you how important this is and how world wouldn’t exist without it. Those who tell you that it is wrong to desire and you should be content with what you want are hopeless because they fail to realize that even the feeling of contentment, which they state while saying so, is a desire. Universe loves when we demand more.

We Are Genius Creators

We come in this world as an extension of our own higher self. And we come in this world as genius creators. Every human that you see, right from the poor beggar fellow to the CEO of a multinational, all are genius creators. This gives us a new perspective and respect towards all fellow humans. All of us see the contrast in this cutting edge environment and still demand for more.

Mechanism of Desires, Dreams and Asking

“Ask, and it is given.”
-Abraham Hicks

So true, the moment we ask for it, it is given. Believe it or not it is. Our higher self becomes that what we want. Be it millionaire when we say, “I want millions.” Or a cancer patient when we say, “I don’t want cancer.” Universe won’t listen to our ‘No’ or ‘Don’t’. It will simply include, in our experience, whatever we give our attention to. We will manifest it; given we offer the vibrations, thoughts and actions with our attentions being given to it. This is the law (The Law of Attraction).

“We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. “
-Dr. Wayne Dyer

As a result of our demands and desires, our higher self becomes that what we ask for. Now to accommodate this new manifestation, universe expands. It is constantly expanding at an accelerating rate, we are constantly asking, demanding and desiring at an accelerating rate. This is more than enough of evidence to prove that Universe loves when we demand more, and so do we.

“Universe cannot expand without the likes of you.”
-Abraham Hicks

Ask For More

So it is very important for us, genius creators, to ask for more. That is what we are here for, ask for more, and achieve more. And even before we achieve it, demand even more.

So now we know how important is our demands. Next time when we are asking for something, we know in our heart that it is not selfish or bad, for our asking is making this universe expand and this world live. This is natural to us.
