There are three kinds of bodily sick people:
\nOne will recover by himself, even without any doctor & any medicine..
\nOne will never recover, even if treated by the best doctor & best medicine..
\nOne will only recover if treated by the right medicine after the doctors advice..
\nIt is for the sake of this last person that doctors work and medicine is made!<\/p>\n
Similarly with those mentally infected by grades of greed, hate & ignorance:
\nOne will cure & free himself, even without meeting this Buddha-Dhamma…
\nOne will never be cured, even if taught this Dhamma by the Buddha himself…
\nOne will be cured & freed, if & only if, taught & learning this Buddha-Dhamma…
\nIt is for the sake of this last type of person, that this Dhamma should be shared!<\/p>\n

Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It can be ignored. To the
\nextent that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us. Denying
\nlove is our only problem, and embracing it is the only answer. Through
\nthe power of love, we can let go of past history and begin again. Love
\nheals, forgives, and makes whole.

\nis to be in a permanent state of ‘against,’ and that is why grievances
\nconstitute a significant part of many people’s ego…a grievance is a
\nstrong negative emotion connected to an event in the sometimes distant
\npast that is being kept alive by compulsive thinking, by retelling the
\nstory in the head or out loud of ‘what someone did to me’ or ‘what
\nsomeone did to us.’ A grievance will also contaminate other areas of
\nyour life.

\nyour heart. There is no way, no truth, no life, except through you.
\n– Paul Ferrini, Reflections of The Christ Mind<\/span><\/p>\n
\nfocus on lack and limitation? You are alive and aware in a universe
\nthat is filled with endless possibilities. And as each new moment
\narrives, those possibilities increase. It makes no sense to think of
\nyour life in terms of what you don’t have. For that kind of thinking
\ncuts you off from the real richness that can be yours. Take just one
\nsmall positive thing in your life and spend a little time truly
\nappreciating it. The more you focus on the goodness, the more of it
\nthere will be. The more fully you realize how rich you are, the more
\naccess you’ll have to that richness. The more you appreciate the
\npositive possibilities, the more valuable those possibilities become.
\nNo matter what your situation or circumstance, life is filled with the
\nrichness of positive possibilities. See that richness and you will
\nbegin to truly live it.

\nwe can feel in ourselves the deep longing of a lost child, a subtle
\nlonging as though we know something essential is missing, something
\nthat dances at the edge of our vision, always with us like the air we
\nforget until the wind blows. Yet it is this elusive spirit which holds
\nus completely, which nourishes the heart, summoning us toward our
\nsearch for what life is all about. We are pulled to return to our true
\nnature, to our wise and knowing heart.
\n– Jack Kornfield

\nThe deepest hunger of the human soul is to be understood, to feel
\nheard, to feel validated… The deepest hunger of the human body is for
\nair. If you can listen to another person, in depth, until they feel
\nunderstood, its the equivalent of giving them air.
\n– Steven Covey

\nDo not withhold your gift from others. Do not make the mistake of
\nthinking that you have no gift to give. Everyone has a gift. But don’t
\ncompare your gift to the gifts of others, or you may not value it
\nsufficiently.

\nfoot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go.
\nRelease the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain.

\nimagine getting even, even for the smallest infractions. Why is this so
\nimportant to us? There\u2019s only one reason. We live, too often, from the
\nego\u2019s perspective rather than the Holy Spirit\u2019s, and the ego can\u2019t
\nperceive love in its many guises, or the appeal for healing and help.
\nThe Holy Spirit performs that miracles for us.<\/p>\n
\nalways the same. We can make this simple request: \u201cHoly Spirit, please
\nhelp me feel and see only love.\u201d Making the request as often as
\nnecessary is the key to forgiveness. There is no preferred time line.
\nSome days we\u2019ll make the journey to peacefulness quickly and
\nefficiently. At other times we\u2019ll have to \u201cchange our minds\u201d repeatedly.<\/p>\n
\nwe do, nothing will ever look quite the same again. Nothing will ever
\nfeel quite the same either.<\/p>\n
