Live with a smile

In the past, I have never understood why there was such a effect of a smiling face. I thought people were just being fake. A humble smile is something you can take for granted, like pasting a mask over your face and move on.

Today for example I sheltered under a bus stop and the sky was teeming with rain and thunders could be heard sparingly. I was afraid of thunder since young and my legs were trembling with fear. A couple of metres away was a young man in his late teens I believe and he was also waiting for the bus to arrive. I looked in his direction he in mine and he gave me a 'yeah, its a long wait and the weather was bad' smile. Nothing was said yet for some odd reason I felt comforted by his smile. In my mind, I thought, yeah, this young man might go a long way in life.

As soon as I readjusted my mentality, I could feel there were many smiling faces and people around me as i walked along the streets. A 'thank you for holding the door open for me' smile, the 'Oh God I feel sorry for you having to listen to that' smile and lets not forget my favorite the smile at the meeting that says 'Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking'.

You would not believe how many different types there are for all sorts of situations. It is instinctive we automatically see the smile connect with the eyes and have total understanding. I do not know about you but I find that pretty amazing. A smile telepathy thing no one ever considered before until now that is. Its basic human spiritual energy in action!

So, make your pearly whites really white because there is power in that there. The power to give hope, comfort, support and to show love and understanding. The power to share something special without the need for words. Something your hi tech Blackberries, iPhones or Palms can't replace.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you.

Right attitude

I was chatting to a friend the other day who said that she and her husband were going their separate ways. I was amazed as they seemed to be the perfect couple.

Outside pressures had become too much for her husband and he felt he could no longer cope. I won't go into further detail here as it is not relevant.

This particular lady had a wonderful way in which to look at her predicament; she said that she felt lucky for the years which they had spent together, that she appreciated that each were on their own path and that it was now time to part and grow in different ways. She loved him and wished him luck and happiness in everything he did. She looked forward to her own growth, development and learning as well.

As much as i felt sorry for her, i agree that her attitude is right. The world be a better place if everyone parted on good terms, and with such a positive outlook, rather than animosity or trying to outfox one another. Yes, less dramatic to bystanders, but less traumatic to the people involved.

The conclusion i have is that each one of us has own particular brand of outlook in life. Temperament and personality are natural, yet i believe they can be adapated or changed if you want.

Don't for forget also that our life experience also plays a part in how we grow and develop.

The Intuitive Link

Yeah, there is the faint feeling of interconnectedness, that intuitive link that we can pick up by looking into people's eyes.

Oneness is recognized to be so much more real and obvious that the idea of duality becomes completely and utterly absurd.. like how could I ever believe that separation exists in the presence of THIS!?

You know how a dream feels real when you're in the dream, but when you wake up in the morning and find that physical reality is SO much more real than that dream ever was?

In this recognition there is literally not even a possibility of doubt, for doubt is seen to be yet another product of mind that can't touch the reality of what you are.

Oneness is so far beyond the mind that it stands totally independent of imagination, thought, philosophy, debate, and curiosity. It is the underlying reality that pervades all that is.

Conscious and Sub-Conscious

The Conscious Mind

Marie Callas says that our conscious mind is everything that we are known when we are awake and participating in our environment. Things like figures, data, knowledge, science, language, perception and etc...

The way this relates to dreaming is that unconscious, subconscious and conscious material will be expressed in dreams. I believe this is an effort of the self to integrate into a state of health and wholeness in much the same way as our biological body does. In the dreaming state we are presented with information that if acknowledged and processed, can help us become more emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. That is why I think it is important to develop an understanding of dreams that includes all of these elements.

The Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is also largely unconscious in that we do not normally use it in our waking state but it can be accessed, and information gathered from it, in certain circumstances. An example of this is when hypnosis is used to remember a number plate that a witness could not consciously recall. On the same lines, information we didn't know we had absorbed comes out in our dreams very clearly. For instance picking up small cues from other people's body language that are not cnsciously recognised but are nonetheless noted in the mind.
