Welcome to a new self

Hello self

Ofcourse there is no "new self" its the same one but newly discovered, uncovered and revived. I'm slowly finding a new self and this is the journey.

I have always been struggling to find my life purpose. I have always felt an undercurrent of discontent, unsettled even when "things are going well". I have occaissionally read a few self helpy books or had inspirational moments. But finally I am finding peace. It all started with A New Earth thanks to the author Ekhardt Tolle and one of my heros, Oprah. This site is my journal, my notebook, my highlighter...

The Man Who Drank the Universe

Alistar? Really? For those of you who do not watch BBC, this is the host of "escape to the Country" a show I watched religiouslyback when I had a tv. He did guest host bits on other of my beloved home make-over type shows. I really liked him but thats that. I have no tv and forgot about it. Here I stumble across his blog where we find he too is on a spiritual search.

Watch this video very interesting... I myself am way to scared to do this...

A Spirit House?

I think every town should have a spirit house. A place with no religious denomination. A community house that is open to all with the goal of exploring spirituality. Every religion/faith/philisophy is present via literature, representatives, historians. A place to learn about all religions, a place to discuss spirituality, find others with your beliefs.

Negotiating the mind and the self

Today I am reading Ordinary Women Extraordinay Wisdom. This book has been very helpful for seeing what an awakened life can be in the real world. The question and insite it has given me today is, "How do we manage the inner and outer self." That is to say the real me/spirit/awakened self/soul and the real world. I still have not seen more than a glimpse of the real me so it may not be a valid question. However, I think it is a key to one of my problems. Atleast to defining my problem so I can face it.

Meditation mantras or text

I'm slowly, sort of, kind of starting a little meditation. I'm also trying some "meditation aid" cds that help you reach meditative states. This text is from one cd that has subliminal messages (results are not in yet but its relaxing music if nothing else!). From Brain Sync Release Guilt :

I am innocent
I make good decisions
I trust myself
I am doing what I need to do
I am good enough
I accept life

Quote flash

“From an intergalactic vantage point we would see, strewn like sea froth on the waves of space, innumerable faint, wispy tendrils of light. These are the galaxies…

A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars - billions upon billions of stars. Every star may be a sun to someone.

There are some hundred billion galaxies each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars.

Our overwhelming impression, even between the spiral arms, is of stars streaming by us - a vast array of exquisitely self-luminous stars, some as flimsy as a soap bubble and so large that they could contain ten thousand Suns or a trillion Earths; others the size of a small town and a hundred trillion times denser than lead. Some stars are solitary like the Sun. Most have companions. Systems are commonly double, two stars orbiting one another. But there is a continuous gradation from triple systems through loose clusters of a dozen stars to the great globular clusters, resplendent with a million suns.

In all the galaxies there are perhaps as many planets as stars, 10 to the eleventh x 10 to the eleventh = 10 to the 22nd power. That is, ten billion trillion.”

Cosmos, pp 21-23
