40 Days of Love – Day18

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 18

If you want to change the way others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses.

Today, we are releasing SELF-PITY and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of SELF-PITY. 

“It is his/her fault!” “I can’t help it!” “There is nothing I can do about it.” These words speak of victimization and self-pity. They also speak of separation and lack of understanding of ourselves as Divine Beings.
Something may have happened  during our childhood that made us believe that we are helpless and that resulted in self-pity. 
However, the Truth is that we are Divine Being. A spark of God with all is power reside within us. We are powerful beings. As we affirm our Oneness and tune in with the Divine Power, we free ourselves from the chains of this limiting belief. Shortly, we will discover the courage and power to take responsibility for our choices and for our life.  —Rev. Norma Iris Rosado and Rev Kudlik

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I am worthy of love and respect. I celebrate my uniqueness.I am enough just the way I am.

Rule No18 invites us today to realise that what we want from others must start with us. What we cannot give to ourselves, we cannot receive from others because we are simply blind for them. 

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation,  I would like you to confront any limiting beliefs and thoughts about your Power. Connect with the Divine Presence and allow God’s Loving embrace you and empower you. 

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release self-pity.

Daily quotes:

God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizennyolcadik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizennyolcadik szabály

Ha azt várodhogy mások tiszteljenekszeressenektörődjenek veledelőbb neked kell magadat tisztelned és szeretned. Aki nem szereti önmagátazt mások sem tudják szeretni. Ha elégedett vagy önmagaddalakkor annak is tudsz örülni, ha tüskét kapsz az élettőlEz ugyanis azt jelentihogy hamarosan rózsafürdőben lesz részed.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük az önsajnálatot és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el az önsajnálat minden formáját.

“Ez mind miatta van! Nem tehetek róla! Nem tudok mit csinálni!” Ezek a mondatok mind az önsajnálatról és tehetetlenség érzetről árulkodnak! Ugyanakkor, azt is jelzik felénk, hogy nem élünk egységben önmagunkkal és a bennünk élő Erővel, mely az isteni szeretetteljességből táplálkozik. Valami történhetett a fiatal éveink során, ami elhitette velünk, hogy tehetetlenek vagyuk és ez az érzés önsajnálatba fordult. Ugyanakkor fel kell ismerjük, azt az igazságot, hogy isteni lények vagyunk, mivel az isteni szeretetteljesség szikrája és fénye ott él bennünk szüntelenül. Ezáltal rendelkezünk azzal az Erővel, ami lehetővé teszi, hogy alakítsuk a sorsunkat igényünk szerint.  Lerázhatjuk magukról a tévhitek láncait, ami hozzásegít ahhoz, hogy bátorságra leljünk és felelősséget válaljunk döntéseinkért és az életünk alakulásáért. —Rev. Norma Iris Rosado and Rev Kudlik 

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Megérdemlem a szeretetet és a tiszteletetEgyedülálló vagyokSzerethető vagyokúgy ahogyan vagyok  

tizennyolcadik szabály arra invitál ma bennünket, hogy tudatosítsuk magunkban azt az igazságot, hogy minden amire vágyunk önmagunkban kezdődik. Amit nem tudunk megadni magunknak, nem tudjuk elfogadni sem, mert nem látható számunkra.

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy kapcsolatot teremtünk azzal a bennünk élő Erővel, amely mindig rendelkezésünkre áll ahhoz, hogy írányítani tudjuk sorsunkat és felelős döntéseket tudjunk hozni ennek érdekében. Kapcsolódjunk az isteni szeretetteljesség energiájához és engedjük meg, hogy az abból sugárzó erő és szeretet átjárja minden porcikánkat, főleg a limitált gondolatainkat és hiedelmeinket, amelyek megakadályozzák, hogy teljes életet tudjunk élni.

Napi idézetek:

Nevess magadon, és nevess az életen. Ne gúnykacaj vagy önsajnálattól tocsogó nevetés legyen ez, hanem gyógyír, csodaszer, amely enyhíti a fájdalmat, kigyógyít a depresszióból, és segít megfelelő távolságból kezelni az adott pillanatban szörnyűnek látszó kudarcokat. Og Mandino

Ma megerősítem magamban: “Hajlandó vagyok elengedni az önsajnálat minden formáját. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenhetedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenhetedik szabály

Az ember magában rejti az egész világmindenséget a maga összes rétegével és bonyolultságával. Az ördög nem egy rajtunk kívülálló félelmetes teremtményamely arra várhogy elcsábítson minket, hanem egy benső hang. Magadban keresd az ördögöt, ne önmagadon kívülne másokbanÉs ne feleddhogy aki tisztában van önmagávalaz ismeri az isteni szeretetet. Az, aki nem másokkal van elfoglalvacsak önmagával foglalkozikvégül jutalomként megismerheti a Teremtőt.

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a negativitás és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a negatív gondolatokat és érzéseket.

Vannak napok, amikor a negatív gondolatok elárasztják az elmémet. Nem teszek mást, mind biráskodom, múltbéli hibáimon és negatív dolgokon mélázok. Előfordul, hogy a körülöttem lévő negativitás magával ragad és szemelől veszítem, ami igazán fontos.  

De amint megállok és becsukom a szemeim, emlékeztetem magam arra, hogy van választási lehetőségem. Amint figyelmemet befelé fordítom és elkezdek a lélegzetemre figyelni, rájövök arra, hogy a nyugalom hangja belül van. Amint ülök a csendben, kapcsolódom az isteni békességhez. A negativ gondolataim szertefoszlanak, mint a gomolyfelhők. Amint kinyitom a szememet, észreveszem a világban mindenütt ott lévő szépséget. —Sara Crawford és Rev Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Elengedem a negatív gondolatokat és engedemhogy megnyugvásra találjak. 

tizenhetedik szabály arra invitál ma bennünket, hogy minden gonoszság, amit a világban látunk és érzékelünk, bennünk ugyan úgy ott él, bár gyakran tagadjuk. Ahogy az ‘ördög’ és a negativ gondolatok, ugyan úgy a nyugalom és a békesség is belül van. Minél nagyobb önismeretre teszünk szert, anná nagyobb rálátást nyerünk azokra a gondolatainka és habituális viselkedési mintáinkra, melyeket a félelem és negativ energiánk irányitanak, azaz az ördög. 

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy elengedjünk a bennünk élő ‘gonoszt’, amit a világban érzékelünk. Figyeljük meg, hogy hol, kiben, és mit érzékelünk ‘gonosznak’ vagy ‘ördöginek’. Majd fordítsuk a figyelmünket befelé és figyelmük meg, hogy honnan jönnek ezek a gondolatok és hangok. Majd engedjük el mindezt és találjunk békességet az isteni szeretettel való egyégünkben.

40 Days of Love – Day17

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 17

The whole universe is contained within a single human being — you. Everything that you see around, including the things that you might not be fond of and even the people you despise or abhor, is present within you in varying degrees. Therefore, do not look for Sheitan [“Devil” in Arabic] outside yourself, either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within, if you set to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness. 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing NEGATIVITY and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of NEGATIVITY. 

Some days negative thoughts seem to overwhelm me. I find myself judging, replaying past mistakes, and getting lost in negative self-talk. I get caught up in the negativity around me and lose sight of what truly matters.
But when I pause and close my eyes, I remember that I can choose to shift my focus. I go within, focus on my breath, and listen to the still, small voice that reminds me all is well. With each inhale and exhale, I reconnect with the peace of God.
As I sit in the Silence, I watch my negative thoughts drift away like passing clouds. I open my eyes to the smile of a loved one, the kindness of a stranger, or a gorgeous sunset. I begin to cherish the limitless beauty in my world. —Sara Crawford

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I release negative thoughts and embrace peace within.

Rule No17 invite us today to realise, that all that we consider evil actually exists within us.

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation,  I would like you to contemplate on your personal evil. What are those (limiting) thoughts that generate anger or fear in you. Release them into God’s Loving, into the Oneness. 

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release NEGATIVITY.

Daily quotes:

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds.—Romans 12:2

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

40 Days of Love – Day16

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 16

Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing BITTERNESS and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of BITTERNESS. 

We all carry situations, people, and experiences that negatively impacted our lives. Things done or not done, said or not said, events that we continue to relive may be painful touchstones that reinforce and legitimize our bitterness and resentment.

Sadly, that bitterness is corrosive to our own soul and no one else’s. It eats away at our sense of well-being, joy, and happiness. It impedes our capacity to heal and move forward. It keeps us mired in the past and allows that situation to dictate our future.

You can release bitterness and reclaim your future. When the past is more alive than the present, focus on one blessing in your life right now. Meditate and center in love. Cultivate gratitude and present-moment awareness. Practice affirmative prayer and shift your focus from what wronged you to what supports you. Moment by moment, you can consciously reinforce and legitimize the good in your life. —Rev. DeeAnn Weir Morency

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I release bitterness and embrace the love and support all around me.

Rule No16, as well as todays Lent reading, invite us today to realise how devastating it is for us to harbour negative emotions in our hearts and minds. 

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation,  I would like you to observe your ‘dirty’ emotions and cleanse your mind and heart of them. Allow the emotions to release and take the unwholesome energies with them into the Light. 

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release bitterness.

Daily quotes:

Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another.—Ephesians 4:31-32

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenhatodik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenhatodik szabály

valódi szenny nem kívülhanem belülnem a ruhánkonhanem a szívünkben található. Minden más folt – tűnjék bármennyire makacsnak is – mosással kitisztíthatóvízzel lemosható. Az egyetlen szennyeződésamelyet nem lehet mosással eltávolítani, a szívünkbe végérvényesen beleivódott irigység és gonoszság. A testedet meg tudod tisztítani böjtöléssel és önmegtartóztatással, de a szívetcsak a szeretet tudja megtisztítani.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a KESERŰSÉGET és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a KESERŰSÉGET.

Minannyiunkkal megesett már, hogy olyan emberekbe botlottunk, akik negatívan hatottak az életünkre. Lehet szavaik vagy tetteik emléke ma is kisér bennünket. Neheztelünk rájuk és gyűlöljük őket ezért. 

Sajnos az általuk érzett gyűlölet és neheztelés csak nekünk árt. Beleássa magát a mindennapjainkba és rongálja az egészségünket a negativ emóció. Megakadályoz bennünket abban, hogy tovább tudjunk lépni. A múlthoz rögzít és meghatározza a jövőnk alakulását.  

De ennek nem kell így lennie. Határozhatunk úgy, hogy elengedjük a gyűlőlettel teli gondolatokat új irányt szabva életünknek.  

**Amikor úgy érzed, hogy a gyűlölet, vagy a neheztelés érzete munkál benned, állj meg egy pillanatra és dönts tudatosan úgy, hogy nem akarod ezeket az érzéseket tovább táplálni. Engedd meg, hogy a szeretetteljesség átjárjon. Add át neki a dühöd, keserűséged és gyülöleted, annak minden tartozékával. Majd gondolj olyan dolgokra, amelyekre hálas vagy. Talán még olyan positív dolgok is eszedbe jutnak majd, melyeket múltbeli negatív események hoztak az életedbe. Érezz hálát és maradj meg a  jelen pillanatban. Fordísd elmédet el olyan dolgoktól, amelyek bántanak, és fordísd olyanok felé, amelyek támogatnak. Gondold át újra és erősísd meg magadban azt a sok jót, amit eddig átéltél, tudva, hogy sok jó vár még rád.  Rev. DeeAnn Weir Morency és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Elengedek minden gyűlöletet és neheztelést önmagambólés magamhoz ölelem a szeretetet és támogatástamely mindenütt körülvesz

Napi idézetek:

Gyűlölöm a szavaidat, a hajadat, s amit érzel,
Gyűlölöm, ahogy vezetsz, azt is, ahogy nézel,
Gyűlölöm cipőd, s ha átjár tekinteted tőre,
Gyűlöletem oly heves, hogy rímet hányok tőle.
Gyűlölöm, gyűlölöm, ha hazudsz, és azt is gyűlölöm, ha nem,
Ha miattad nevetek, vagy ha könnyes lesz a szemem.
Gyűlölöm, ha nem hívsz fel, ha nem nézel felém,
S gyűlölöm, hogy nem gyűlöllek egy cseppet sem,
Szemernyit sem, nem gyűlöllek én.

10 dolog, amit utálok benned c. film

Ma megerősítem magamban: “Elengedem a gyűlölet minden formályát”. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenötödik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenötödik szabály

Mivel Isten tökéleteskönnyű szeretni. Ami sokkal nehezebb, a halandó embert minden hibájával és erényével együtt szeretni. Ne feleddhogy az ember csak azt ismerhetiamit képes szeretni. Ha nem öleljük át, ha nem tanuljuk meg szeretni Isten teremtményeitakkor őt sem tudjuk igazán szeretni és megismerni.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük az aggodalmat és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a aggodalmainkat.

A horror történetek, amelyeket önmagunknak mesélünk csak akkor tudjuk megváltoztatni, ha tudatos erőfeszítést teszünk, annak érdekében, hogy átkeretezzük azokat.

Aggodalmat attól érzünk, hogy elménk negatív fantáziálásokkal van elfoglalva. Képzeletben sikertelenségről, kudarcokról és nehézségekről fantáziálunk. Ezek a mentális forgatókönyvek újra és újra előkerülnek, minek erdményeként, elkezdjük elhinni, hogy a képzeletünk szüleményei meg fognak valósulni. 

Abban a pillantaban, azonban, amikor elkezdjük észrevenni, hogy ezek a forgatókönyvek csupán a képzeletünk szüleményei, lehetőséget kapunk arra, hogy megálljt parancsoljunk nekik.  

Ahelyett, hogy a kihívásokra, mint félelmetes megpróbáltatásokra tekintenénk, választhatjuk azt, hogy lehetőségekként nézünk rájuk; lehetőségek, melyek által feljődhetünk és változhatunk pozitív irányba. Ez a mentális váltás nem jelenti azt, hogy vigyelmen kívül hagyjuk a valóságot! Arra ad lehetőséget, hogy minden helyzetet kiváncsisággal, rugalmassággal és nyitottsággal kezeljünk.  

Azáltal, hogy szándékosan, arra koncentrálunk, hogy miként alakulhatnak jól a dolgaink, bizalmat fektetünk önmagunkba és pozitív eredményeket vonzunk be. Amint sikert, megelégedettség érzetet és erőt képzelünk el, a benső narrativánk új hangot fog felvenni. Ennek eredményeként az élet élményeink is meg fognak változni. —Rev. Kathy Beasley és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Megengedem magamnakhogy bízak az isteni szeretetteljességbenElengedem az aggodalmaimat és bízom abbanhogy az életemben minden a legjobb  felé halad. 

tizenötödik szabály arra invitál ma bennünket, hogy vegyük észre az istenit minden emberbenvegyük észre a  és a szeretetteljesség szikráját mindenkibenattól függetlenülhogy hogyan viselkednekvagy miként gondolkodnak 

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy elmélkedünk a 15 szabály üzenetén. Kérdezzük meg magunktól, hogy képesek vagyunk-e a teljes elfogadásra és arra, hogy egy másik emberben meglássuk a szeretetteljességet, attól függetlenül, hogy hogyan viselkedik vagy gondolkodik? Valószínüleg nem. Meditációnk alatt, engedjük el az elvárásainkat és maradjunk nyitottak annak lehetőségére, hogy a legelvetemültebb emberben is ott él az isteni szeretetteljesség fénye, csak nagyon le van tompítva a személyiség (ego) szükségletei miatt.

A veszélytől való félelem tízszer kínosabb, mint maga a veszély. Az aggodalom nagyobb teherként nehezedik az emberre, mint a valóságos rossz. Daniel Defoe

Az aggodalom, a szorongás, a kétségbeesés bonszájfenyői ott vannak ám mindannyiunkban, és ha nem metszegeted őket rendszeresen, akkor hatalmasra nőnek a lelkedben. Bödőcs Tibor

Ma megerősítem magamban: “Elengedem az aggodalmaimat. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org 

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagunk számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

40 Days of Love – Day15

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 15

It’s easy to love a perfect God, unblemished and infallible that He is. What is far more difficult is to love fellow human beings with all their imperfections and defects. Remember, one can only know what one is capable of loving. There is no wisdom without love. Unless we learn to love God’s creation, we can neither truly love nor truly know God.  

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing WORRY and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of WORRY. 

Letting go of worry by changing the stories we tell ourselves requires a conscious effort to flip the script and reframe our internal dialogue.

Worry thrives when we focus on negative possibilities—imagining future failures or difficulties that may never happen. These mental scripts create a cycle of worry where we begin to believe that worst-case scenarios are inevitable.

However, by recognizing that these stories are just that—stories—we gain the power to release them. Instead of seeing challenges as threats, we can view them as opportunities for growth and learning. This shift doesn’t ignore reality;
it empowers us to approach situations with curiosity and resilience rather than fear.

By deliberately refocusing on what could go right, we open ourselves to positive outcomes. By envisioning success, fulfillment, and strength, we change the tone of our inner narrative from worry to resilience, which directly influences how we experience the world. — Rev. Kathy Beasley

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I allow myself to trust in God and feel peace. I release all worry, trusting that everything is unfolding for my highest good.

Rule No15 invites us today to see God in everyone; see the spark of good and Loving in everyone regardless of they way they appear. It is not small feat.

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. I would like to invite you to meditate today and allow your worries to dissipate. Connect in the silence with the Divine Presence, offer up all your worrying thoughts and ideas, then allow the Loving energy emanating from God to evaporate them. 

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release worry.

Daily quotes:

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. — Philippians 4:6

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizennegyedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizennegyedik szabály

A teremtő minden pillanatban azzal foglalatoskodikhogy valamennyiünket teljesebbé tegyen kívülről-belülről. Mindannyian befejezetlen műalkotások vagyunk. Minden azért történik velünkazért érnek csapásokhogy leküzdjük a hiányosságainkat. A teremtő egyenként foglalkozik velünkhiányosságainkat egyenként veszi sorra. Az a cél hogy az emberiség a tökéletesség felé haladjon.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük az apátiát és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el az apátiát.

Sajnos könnyű apátiába esni és közönyössé válni, amikor kilátástalannak érezzük az életünket. A megoldás mégis egyszerű. Nem kell tennünk mást, mit támogatást nyújtani egy embernek, aki nehézségekkel kűzd.  Olyan ez mint egy varázslat. Amint egy másik ember felé forditjuk a figyelmünket, és együttérző szeretettel fodulunk felé, mi magunk is feltöltődünk ezzel az energiával.  Amint látni vágyunk a jót a másikban, önmagunkban is felvedezzük azt. Amint ez az élettel teli energia átjárja lényünket, eszünkbe jutnak elfeledett álmaink és céljaink. Elkezdjük egy  vidámsággal teli élet lehetőségét fontolgatni magunkban. 

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Engedemhogy az igazság fénye átjárjon mindentLátom mindazt a jótamit az élet tartogat számomra  

tizennegyedik szabály arra emlékeztet, hogy  mindannyian haladunk a benső spirituális és szellemi útonakár érzékeljük aztakár nem.  Születésünktől, a halálunk pillanatáigegy fejlődési utat járunk be tele kihivásokkal és boldog pillanatokkal. Minden esemény arra hivatotthogy emlékeztessen bennünket isteni mivoltunkra, a bennünk élő szeretetteljességre. 

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy kapcsolódjunk a szeretet energiába a mai meditációnk során. Majd, arra szeretnélek megkérnihogy nézz  az életedre, a kihivásaidra, a boldog pillanatokraVedd észrehogyan alakítottak ezek az események téged azzá a csodálatos emberréaki vagyLégy ma hálás.

40 Days of Love – Day14

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 14

God is busy with the completion of your work, both outwardly and inwardly. He is fully occupied with you. Every human being is a work in progress that is slowly but inexorably moving toward realization. We are each an unfinished work of art both waiting and striving to be completed. God deals with each of us separately because humanity is a fine art of skilled penmanship where every single dot is equally important for the entire picture.

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing APATHY and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of APATHY. 

To overcome apathy in our lives, we turn our attention to a friend or loved one who is experiencing a challenge. Then something wonderful happens. Our light-filled, compassionate thought and heartfelt concern for others burns away the fog of
apathy in our lives. Clearly seeing the good God has for us, we renew our enthusiasm for life, remember forgotten goals, and discover new pathways for joyous living. —Rev. Ric Schumacher

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I embrace the light of Truth; I clearly seethe good God has for me.

Rule No14 invites us today to see that we are all on an inner journey whether we realise it or not. From both to death, we are learning through challenges and happy moments about our true nature that is of the Divine.

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. I would like to invite you to connect with the Divine presence in meditation. As you connect with this ever present energy of Loving, look at the triumphs and challenges of your life. See how all that mounted to the person you are today. Be grateful.

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release apathy.

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenharmadik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenharmadik szabály

Ahelyetthogy ellenállnál az új dolgoknakamelyeket az élet helyezett eléd, add át magad az élet sodrásánakHagydhogy az élet magával sodorjon! Ne aggódj amiatthogy felborul a megszokott rend körülöttedfeje tetejére állt az egész életedHonnét tudodhogy nem lesz jobb az életed fejjel lefelé?“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük aggodalmainkat és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el az aggódást.

Az aggodalom, nem más mint a bizonytalanságból adódó félelem, amelyek mögött múlt béli traumák húzódhatnak meg. A végeredmény, hogy félünk szembenézni a félelemmel. 

Abban a pillantban, azonban, amikor mégis megtesszük ezt – hagyjuk, hogy a félelem érzete a tudatunkba kerüljön – valójában felszabadítjuk magunkat alólla, azzal, hogy útjára engedjük félelmeinket. 

A félelem megélésének pillanata kényelmetlen lehet, de gyakorlattal a kényelmetlenség érzet megszűnik. Nem kell mást tennünk mint ‘keresztül lélegeznünk’ a félelmeinken. Amint a lélegzetünkre koncentrálunk és a figyelmünket befelé fordítjuk, kapcsolatba kerülünk önmagunkkal és a bennünk élő nyugalommal. Amint végig haladunk a félelem és aggodalom érzetünkön, egyszer csak nyugalomra lelünk és megérezzük, hogy a bennünk élő szeretetteljesség végig velünk volt az úton.  

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Megengedem magnakhogy bízzak önmagamban és a bennem élő isteni szeretet energiában. 

A tizenharmadik szabály arra emlékeztet, hogy merjünk élni és menni az árral. Az élet csodái gyakran az ismeretlen felfedezésével válik láthatóvá. Azzal, ha ellenállunk az életnek és kontrolálni próbáljuk azt, lehet lemaradunk tartalmas és szép élményekről.

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy kapcsolódunk a bennünk élő szeretetteljességhez é mályítjük az azzal való kapcsolatunkat. Építsünk ki egy bizalmas kapcsolatot ezzel az energiaval, mely életünk minden napján kisér bennünket utunkon.

A napi elgondolkodtató egy rövid meditáció formájában: ma találjunk magunknak egy kellemes 5 perces meditációs zenét, amely segit a békesség érzetet megélnünk és kapcsolódnunk a bennünk élő szeretet energiához. 

Ma szeretnélek megkérnihogy tölts egy kis időt a fenti gondolatokkalhallgasd meg a YOUTUBE-on a  szabályt egy párszorhogy értelmet nyerhessen számodravalamint hallgasd meg a fenti meditációt

Ösztönszerűleg inkább hajlunk a reményre, mint az aggodalomra – amint szemeink is maguktól a világosság felé fordulnak, nem a sötétség felé. Arthur Schopenhauer

40 Days of Love – Day13

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 13

Try not to resist the changes, which come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing anxiety and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of anxiety. 

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, often caused by uncertainty, sometimes triggered by a traumatic moment in our lives, by fearful thoughts, or by those emotions we do not want to face or feel.

By acknowledging anxiety and the emotions tied to it, you give yourself the space to fully experience it, allowing it to pass through you instead of becoming trapped within.

Although the process may feel uncomfortable at first, as you practice it and focus on your breathing, you’ll notice a profound sense of calm, like the rhythm of the waves of the sea. You will free yourself, and peace will return to you as you remember that God is with you in every moment and in every experience of your life. —Rev. Claudia Olmos

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I allow myself to trust in God and feel peace.”

Rule No13 invites us today to summon courage and dare to walk with change. It is time to release our expectations how our life should unfold and allow Life carry us along.

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule and the quote below. I would like to invite you to do the exercise detailed above.  I would also like to ask you to look at where you resist life and try to control it. In your daily meditation, allow yourself the mystery of the journey so you can be surprised, amazed and astounded! 🙂

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release anxiety.

Daily quotes:

I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenkettedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenkettedik szabály

világon több hodzsahodzsa es sejk van, mint ahány csillag az égen. Az igazi mester arra tanít, hogy a lelkedbe nézve önmagadon átlépve felfedezd a benned rejlő szépségeket és nem arra, hogy őt csodáld.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a ellenállásunkat és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el az ellenállást.

Amikor valami zavar bennünket, általában, automatikusan próbáljuk eltolni magunktól a kényelmetlen érzéseket. Ez azonban egy csapda: Aminek ellenállunk csak megerősítjük. Az energia, amit abba fektetünk, hogy megpróbáljük elkerülni a zavart okozó tényezőket, a zavarba koncentrálódik majd, egyre jobban erősítve azt. 

Ez évben a böjti időszakot arra, használom, hogy megváltoztassam a hozzáállásomat ezekhez a zavaró tényezökhöz, és menekülés helyett a fejlődést  lehetőségét választom. Megkérdezem magamtól “Hogyan tudnám, ezt az előttem álló akadályt vagy zavaró tényezőt a hasznomra fordítani?” Ahelyett, hogy meghátrálok, hitet merítek, és az isteni szeretetteljességbe helyezem bizalmamat. Tudom, hogy a végén minden az előnyömre fog válni. 

Ezzel a hozzáállással minden energiámat olyan dolgokba fektetem, amelyek előnyömre válnak. Tudom, hogy ez a folyamat lassú és kihívásokkal teli, de tudom, megéri az erőfeszítéseimet. —Trish Yancey, LUT, CSE és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Bizalmamat benső erőmbe és az isteni szeretetteljességbe helyezem és így könnyedén részt veszek minden történésben, amit az élet elém sodor.  

A tizenkettedik szabály arra emlékeztet, hogy vegyük észre, ki az aki feltétel nélkül támogat bennünket spirituális és szellemi utunkon, és ki az, aki saját hiúságát akarja legyezni azzal, hogy másokat támogat. 

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy elgondolkodunk azon, hogy mik azok a dolgok amelyektől meghátrálunk. Dolgozzunk ma azon, hogy belső erőnket és az isteni energiába fektetett bizalmunkat erősítjük.

40 Days of Love – Day12

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 12

There are more fake gurus and false teachers in this world than the number of stars in the visible universe. Don’t confuse power-driven, self-centered people with true mentors. A genuine spiritual master will not direct your attention to himself or herself and will not expect absolute obedience or utter admiration from you, but instead will help you to appreciate and admire your inner self. True mentors are as transparent as glass. They let the light of God pass through them. “*

Today, we are releasing resistance and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of resistance. 

When something disturbs us, we usually want to push it away as hard and fast as we can. Here’s the catch:  What we resist not only persists, but our avoidance feeds what we don’t want and gives it more power.

This Lenten season, I purposefully create a new relationship with my fight-or-flight reflex. It signals that an opportunity for growth has arrived. I ask myself, How do I make this thing before me be for me? Instead of backing away, I lean in with my faith firmly rooted in Source, anticipating the good to come.

In this new paradigm, I give my power only to things I want to see grow in my life. Though I know that forging this new relationship with discomfort will take time and practice, I trust the rewards are rich. —Trish Yancey, LUT, CSE

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I lean in with faith and embrace whatever life brings my way.”

Rule No12 invites us today to look for a mentor.  You want gently, loving guidance from someone who truly cares about you unconditionally. Gurus tend to be either self-centered or out of touch with human relationships. A true spiritual guide or master will want you to be free and create your own personal relationship with the Divine. 

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule and the quote below.  I would like to ask you to have a look at where you give your power away to false masters of any kind. Do you think that there is someone who knows the answers to your questions better than you? Think again! Then move into meditation and embrace STRENGTH, a Divine faculty within you that enables you to find your own answers, on your own terms and move through any challenges or barriers. 

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release resistance.

Daily quotes:

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.—Isaiah 43:2

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizenegyedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizenegyedik szabály

A bába tudja, hogy vajúdás nélkül nem lehet szülni, anélkül nem nyílik meg az anya mélyből kifelé vezető út a csecsemő előttAhhoz hogy újjászülethess és vadonatúj ember váljék belőled fel kell készülnöd a nehézségekre és a fájdalmakra.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a betegségektől való félelmünket és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a betegségektől való félelmünket.

Van egy mondás ami szerint “azt vonzzuk, amire a legtöbbet gondolunk“. Amikor gondolatainkat félelmek uralják, a megtapasztalásaink is tele lesznek félelemmel. Amikor elménk betegségektől való félelemmel van tele, egészséggel kapcsolatos félelmeket eredményező élményeket vonzunk be. A jó hír az, hogy van választásunk abban, hogy hogyan reagáljuk. Először a felett, hogy mit gondoljuk, másodszor abban, hogy hogyan kezeljünk kihivásokkal teli helyzeteket. 

Myrtle Fillmore-nál, a UNITY Spirituális Szervezet egyik alapítójánál, rákos betegséget diagnosztizáltak és hat hónapot jósoltak neki. Sikerült meggyógyítania magát azzal, hogy a gondolatait a betegség helyett az egészségre és az isteni energiával való egységre koncentrálta. 

UNITY azt tanítja, hogy magunk hozzuk létre a valóságunkat, azáltal ahogyan gondolkodunk. Minden élethelyzet egy lehetőség arra, hogy egyre feljebb emeljük a tudatunkat, az isteni szeretetteljességgel való egységbe, ahol teljesség élményben van részünk.  —Rev. Sandra Campbell és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Elengedem a betegségektől való félelmeimet és az isteni szeretetteljességben élő teljesség élményét választomEgészséges vagyok tesbenlélekben és szellemben.  

A tizenegyedik szabály arra emlékeztet, hogy a fájdalom az élet velejárója. Nincsen tartalmas élet fájdalmak és veszteségek nélkül. A bölcs azt is tudja, hogy a fájdalmak segítenek bennünket ahhoz, hogy új utakat keressünk és fejlődjünk.

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy elgondolkodunk azon, hogy a fájdalomtól való félelmeink illetve a betegségektől való félelemink hogyan akadályoznak meg abban, hogy mélyebb és tartalmasabb életet tudjunk élni.

A napi elgondolkodtató egy rövid meditáció formájában:

Ma szeretnélek megkérnihogy tölts egy kis időt a fenti gondolatokkalhallgasd meg a YOUTUBE-on a  szabályt egy párszorhogy értelmet nyerhessen számodravalamint hallgasd meg a fenti meditációt 

Napi idézetek:

Minden egyes reggel, amikor felébredünk, választanunk kell a remény és a félelem között, s az egyik érzésnek ott kell lennie valamennyi tettünkben. Örömmel fogadjuk azt, ami az utunkba kerül? Vagy gyanakvással? Karen Marie Moning

Ma megerősítem magamban: “Hajlandó vagyok elengedni a betegségektől való félelmemet”. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org 

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagunk számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

2025. márcus 5 és április 21 között!

Járjuk együtt ez a Böjti Utat!

40 Days of Love – Day11

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 11

The midwife knows that when there is no pain, the way for the baby cannot be opened and the mother cannot give birth. Likewise, for a new self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain. “*

Today, we are releasing fear of illness and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of fear of illness. 

There is a saying: What we think about, we bring about. When we think fearful thoughts, we bring about fearful experiences. The good news is, we have the power to choose our reaction to whatever we are experiencing. That reaction can
make a difference in whether we are fearful or fearless in the face of a health challenge.
When she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given six months to live, Unity cofounder Myrtle Fillmore demonstrated this power by focusing her thoughts on life instead of death.
When we are facing an illness, we have two choices. We can entertain fearful thoughts or we can affirm that we have a divine inheritance of good despite any appearance to the contrary.
Unity teaches that we create our reality by what we choose to think, feel, and believe. In other words, what we think about, we bring about. —Rev. Sandra Campbell

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I release fear of illness and choose thoughts of wholeness and well-being in mind, body, and spirit.”

Rule No11 invites us today to understand that life is full of trials and triumphs. The faculty of Wisdom allows us to embrace every challenge and difficulty knowing that we are learning and growing in the process.

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule and the quote below. I would like to ask you to think about your fears. As you do so, look at them, either they are of health, finances or other matters, then imagine a huge bonfire, then mentally release the fears into the fire. Keep on doing this until they thoughts of fear stop showing up. Then raise your awareness into Oneness with the Divine Presence. Allow this loving Presence to embrace you and love you through your actions of releasing.

Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release fear of illness.

Daily quotes:

40 Days of Love – Day10

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 10

The quest for love changes us. There is no seeker among those who search for love who has not matured on the way. The moment you start looking for love, you start to change within and without. “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing doubt and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of doubt. 

In my daily life I must make choices and decisions. I may find myself at a crossroads with two paths opening in front of me and not know which one to take. Doubt puts me in a place of suspicion and distrust. It immobilizes me and stops my progress
toward the good that awaits me.
When my heart is troubled by uncertainty or not knowing what to do, it is time to pause. Quieting my mind and bringing my attention to the point of light in my heart can help me restore my balance and give me back the peace, boldness, courage, or
firmness that my soul seeks. In a balanced and serene mind, responses flow spontaneously and naturally.
Let us keep in mind that in God there is no hesitancy or vacillation; everything is ordered and clarified. In that presence, I decide now to live my day. —Rev. Beatriz Gallerano Bell

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I live this day with determination and security.”

Simply put it, Rule No10 invites us today to meditate, to travel the inner journey and realize our beauty and greatness. 

Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No10 and the quote below. 

Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release doubt.

Daily quotes:

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. Rosa Parks

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Tizedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Tizedik szabály

szeretet egy nagy utazás, és minden utazó, aki nekivág ennek az útnak, ha akarja, ha nem, teljesen megváltozikNincs olyan, aki úgy megy végig ezen az úton, hogy ne változna meg. “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a kétségeinket és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a kétségeinket.

Nap mind nap hozunk döntéseket, azonban előfordul, hogy olyan kereszteződéshez érünk, ahol két lehetséges út vezett tovább. A bennünk felmerülő kétség gyanút és bizalmatlanságot szül. Nem tudjuk, hogy merre haladjunk tovább. Szinte megbénít.  

Amikor zavartnak érezzük magunkat, álljunk meg egy pillanatra figyelmünket helyezzük a bennünk élő fény közepébe. Pillanatokon belül vissza fog térni az erőnk és a bátorságunk a választáshoz. 

Fontos emlékeztetnünk magunkat arra, hogy az isteni szeretetteljességben nincsen hezitálás vagy vacillálás. Minden letisztult és rendezett. Az isteni szeretettejesség jelenlétében visszatalálunk a magabiztosságunkba. —Rev. Beatriz Gallerano Bell és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Megengedem magamnakhogy biztonságérzetben és magabiztosan éljek.   

 A tizedik szabály arra emlékeztet, hogy mindenki, aki a benső utazást választja, megváltozik. Ez a kedvenc szabályom. Sokat beszélünk arról, hogy változni szeretnénk, vagy szeretnénk ha a világ változna, de a változás és a változtatás lehetősége belül van, a szellemi énünk mélységeiben és a tudatosságban.

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy kapcsolódunk az isteni szeretetteljességben állandóan ott lévő bölcsességhez. Tapasztaljuk meg, hogy a válaszok ott rejlenek bennünk, ha hajlandóak vagyunk kapcsolódni ehhez a tudatfolyamhoz belül. Tekintsünk rá egy problémánkra ma, amelyre úgy érezzük, hogy nem tudjuk a választ. A meditációs csendben  fogalmzzuk meg egy kérdés formájában kételyünket, és engedjük meg, hogy a válasz belülről érkezzen meg.

40 Days of Love – Day9

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 9

East, west, south, or north makes little difference. No matter what your destination, just be sure to make every journey, a journey within. If you travel within, you’ll visit the whole full World and beyond.“*

Today, we are releasing hostility and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of hostility. 

As love attracts, hate dissipates” and “The two ideas, love and hate … simply cannot both be present in your mind at one time, and when you are entertaining one, you may be sure the other is absent.” Charles Fillmore
Anger and hostility destroy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Hostility held in our hearts and minds causes insomnia, anxiety, and even chronic illness. Harboring hostile thoughts and feelings is akin to overloading an electrical
system, creating dangerous power surges that can potentially destroy our devices and even cause fires.
Antidotes for this destructive energy are forgiveness and unconditional love. To paraphrase The Revealing Word, when the heavenly state of mind is established, we are restored to our natural wholeness. —Rev. Vernelle Nelson

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I bless the world with the gifts of unconditional love, harmony, acceptance, and peace.”

Simply put it, Rule No9 invites us today to meditate, to travel the inner journey and realize our beauty and greatness. 

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No9 and the quote below. I would like to ask you to spend some time in meditation today, travel the inner journey: meet yourself at your best and your worst. Forgive where you feel you fail and be grateful for where you succeed.  Let me know how it worked for you. Thank you.

Today we affirm: Today, I release hostility.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on  the task above.

Daily quotes:

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Kilencedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Kilencedik szabály

Bármely irányba mész is, KeletnekNyugatnakÉszaknak vagy Délnek, minden utazásra belső utazásként gondolj! Az ember, aki a saját lelkében utazik végül az egész világot bejárja. “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük az ellenségeskedést és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el az ellenségeskedést.

“Míg a szeretet vonz, a gyűlölet taszít”, és “E két erő, szeretet és gyűlölet … egyszerűen nem férnek meg az elmében egyszerre. Míg az egyikkel vagy elfoglalva, biztos lehetsz benne, hogy a másik nincsen jelen a tudatodban!” Charles Fillmore 

A gyűlölet és ellenségeskedés lényünk minden részét rongálja: a fizikai testünket, ugyanúgy, mint a mentális, érzelmi, vagy spirituális részünket.  Ellenségeskedés, amit mentálisan táplálunk különféle fizikai tüneteket és betegségeket hozhat létre a szervezetünkben, mint például, álmatlanságot vagy krónikus betegségket. Az ellenségeskedés érzet olyan formán terheli túl a szervezetünket, mint amikor túl sok árammal működő  dolgot használunk egyszerre, a végén kivágja a biztosítékot.  

Csak a megbocsátás, és a feltétel néküli szeretet képes feloldani ezt az negatív energiát. A Leleplező Szavak című könyvében Fillmore azt mondja, hogy amint képesek vagyunk tudatunkat a ‘mennyekig’ emelni, képessé válunk ‘isteni’ állapotba vagy másképpen, a teljesség állapotába emelni önmagunkat. Ott már nincsen dualitás, csak egység és szeretet van.—Rev. Vernelle Nelson és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlék eztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Megáldom a világot feltétel nélküli szeretettelharmóniávalés békességgel, azáltalhogy felemelem a tudatomat abba a régióbaahol egység van, elválasztottság helyett.  

A kilencedik szeretetszabályarra kér bennünket ma, hogy meditáljuk (rendszeresen), mivel csak a meditáción és az imádságon keresztül tudunk lelkünk belső útjain járni.

Ma használjuk a meditációs időnket arra, hogy elgondolkozunk azon, hogy mi/ki iránt érzünk gyűlölelet vagy ellenséges érzéseket. A mai meditációban megpróbálunk a gyűlölet és az ellenségeskedés érzet helyébe szeretteljességet helyezni azáltal, hogy megbocsátunk magunknak és feltétel nélküli szeretetet érzünk az vagy azok iránt, akiket jelenleg gyűlölünk vagy akik ránt ellenséges érzéseket táplálunk. Egy pillanatra engedjük meg magunknak, hogy elengedjük ezeket a negatív érzéseket, és figyeljük meg, hogy milyen érzések lépnek helyükbe.

40 Days of Love – Day8

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 8

Patience does not mean to endure passively. It means to look at the end of a process. What does tolerance mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night, and see the dawn. Impatience means to be shortsighted as not to be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.“* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing DISCOURAGEMENT and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of discouragement. 

Sometimes a setback will discourage us so much that we do not want to try again. 
Liberation from discouragement depends on dismissing failed assumptions. It takes courage to discard the way things have been done before. It takes courage to choose a new way of being, to release discouragement, let go the old, and grasp the new.

Reaching for what is new has us teetering on the edge of transformation. On edge is not a comfortable place to be. We might be tempted to step back to relieve discomfort and accept dismay. This is not a wise trade. Instead, step forward to release
discouragement and claim success. —Rev. Michael Jamison

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I choose a new way of being.”

Rule No8 invites us today to become patient with self and others because time in God’s world is irrelevant. We are all on Divine Timing which means that we are asked to have faith in the ‘not there yet’ and expect it with anticipation. Instead of seeing what is not there, we can imagine that it is there already by having faith in the coming of it. 

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No8 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing discouragement worked for you. 

Today we affirm: Today, I release discouragement.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on where you need more courage and where you need more patience in your life. When you realized where you need these; close your eyes and imagine your being courageous and move forward, then imagine yourself being patient with anticipation and faith.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Steve Jobs

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. T. S. Eliot

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. Aristotle

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

Let’s walk this journey together!

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Nyolcadik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A Nyolcadik szabály

Türelmesnek lenni nem egy tétlen várakozást jelent, hanem állandó előre tekintést. Mi is a türelem? Hogy az ember a tüskékre pillantva képes elképzelni a rózsát, az éjszakát látva a nappalt. Isten szerelmesei a türelmet mint a rózsalekvárt édesen szívják magukba és emésztik meg. És tudják,  ahhoz, hogy az égen az újholdból telihold legyen idő kell.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a csüggetség érzetét és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a csüggetség érzetét.

Amikor kudarcot vallunk valamiben, könnyen olyannyira elkedvetlenedünk, hogy meg sem akarjuk próbálni újra. Azonban, ha meg akarunk szabadulni a csüggedtség érzetünktől, el kell engedjük annak gondolatát, hogy újra kudarcot vallhatunk. Bátorságot kell merítsünk annak tudatából, hogy sikerülhet és el kell engedjük félelmünket miszerint ismét elbukhatunk. 

Ahhoz, hogy elérjük, amit szeretnénk bátorságot kell gyűjtenünk, hogy átléphessük benső gátjainkat. Amint a hasadék szélén állunk, mint Indiana Jones, kényelmetlenül érezzük magunkat és inkább kihátrálnánk onnan. De amit előre lépünk, megjelenik a bátorság és már ez siker!  —Rev. Michael Jamison és Rev Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlék eztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: Hajlandó vagyok változni és másképpen élni.” 

A nyolcadik szeretetszabályarra kér bennünket ma, hogy vájunk  türelmesebbé mind önmagunkkal mind másokkalmert az idő az isteni szeretetteljességben nem létezikMindannyian ‘isteni időzítésben‘ élünkami azt jelentihogy tudnunk kell szívünkbenhogy ami még nincs ottaz egy nap ott leszAhelyetthogy arra koncetrálunkami hiányzikképzeljük azthogy már megjelentMerjünk hitet helyezni, abba mire vágyunk, türelemmel

Ma gondolkodjunk el azon, hogy életünk mely területén van szükségünk több bátorságra illetve türelemre. Amint megtaláltuk ezeket csukjuk be a szemünket egy kicsit és képzeljük el, hogy bátrak vagyuk (hogy néz ki ez a bátorság? milyen színű, állagú, vagy szagú a bátorság? mit teszünk amikor bátrak vagyunk? mit gondolunk és érzünk ilyenkor?), majd képzeljük el, hogy türelmesek vagyunk ott ahol gyakran türelmetlenek vagyunk (hogy néz ki ez a türelem? milyen színű, állagú, vagy szagú a türelem? mit teszünk amikor türelmesek vagyunk?mit gondolunk és érzünk ilyenkor?). Képzeletünk erejével erősítsük ma meg magunkban a bátorságot és a türelmességet.

Napi idézetek:

Valaki egyszer régen azt mondta nekem, hogy a félelem az új lehetőségek kapuja. És biztosíthatlak róla, aranyom, hogy minden egyes jó dolog, ami azóta történt velem, azért következett be, mert a félelmeim ellenére mertem cselekedni. Kate Morton

Nagyobb bűn nem nekifogni valaminek, mint elbukni. Rudolf Péter

Amikor kockáztatsz, nem tudod, hogy fog sikerülni. Lehet, hogy nem kapod meg, amit szeretnél, hogy a dolgok rosszabbra fordulnak. De még így is jobban jársz, mert a való világban fogsz élni, nem a félelmed teremtette képzelt valóságban. Edith Eger

Ma megerősítem magamban: “Hajlandó vagyok bátorságot venni és belelépni az újba!”. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org 

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagunk számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Hetedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A hetedik szabály

Bármi történjék is veled ne keseredj el! Ha minden ajtó bezárul is előtted, ő végül megnyít számodra egy mindenki előtt ismeretlen titkos ösvénytMég ha e pillanatban nem látod is, a szűk átjárókon túl rengeteg édenkert rejlikLégy hálásKönnyű hálásnak lenni, ha megkapod amire vágytál. A Szufi akkor is képes köszönetet mondani, ha a kívánsága nem teljesül.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a vádaskodást és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a vádaskodásnak minden formáját! Se magunkat, se másokat ne vádoljuk!

Elengedem a vádaskodást, mert az erő amivel túljutok az élet nehézségein nem a történésekben rejlik, hanem a bennünk élő erőben. 

Tudatosan elkerülöm a vádaskodással egybekötött játszmázást.  A vádaskodás megakadályoz abban, hogy változzak és szeretetteljesebb, együttérzőbb és békésebb élményeket vonzzak be az életembe.  

Elengedem a vádaskodásnak minden formáját és figyelmemet olyan irányba terelem, amely épít engem. Tudom, hogy követek el hibákat, de nem vagyok hibás. Elengedem a vádaskodást!  — Rev. Sheila R. McKeithen, J.D. és Rev Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: vádaskodás fájdalma helyett, a mindenütt ott lévő lehetőséget választomBízom magamban!” 

A hetedik szeretetszabályarra kér bennünket ma, hogy gyakoroljuk a hálát még akkor is, ha olyasmi történik az életünken, amivel nem vagyunk megelégedve. Tudatosítsuk ma magunkban azt, hogy mindentől függetlenül hehetünk akár hálásak is! 🙂  Mivel nem látjuk egy-egy helyzetnek minden részletét, amely miatt azt érezzük, hogy a dolgok nem úgy vannak, mint szeretnénk,  akár hálásak is lehetünk dühöngés helyett! 🙂 

Ma gondolkodjunk el azon, hogy kiket vádolunk és miért, önmagunkat is beleértve. Vegyük észre, hogy a vádaskodás által, kiengedjük a kezünkből személyes erőnket és legyengítjük magunkat; áldozatokká válunk. Az ember, aki bízik önmagában és tudja, hogy minden élethelyzetet részben ő alakította ki önmaga számára, képes a sorsát alakítani. Amint abbahagyjuk a vádaskodást és kapcsolatba lépünk önmagunkkal, az életünk felelős vezetőivé válunk. Így képessé válunk hálával tekinteni életünk minden eseményére is.

Napi idézetek:

Minden alkalom, amikor a vádaskodást elfogadásra, toleranciára cseréljük, maga a győzelem. William Pullen

Annyi ellenségeskedés, düh, megosztottság, ujjal mutogatás és vádaskodás van a világunkban, és nem csak Amerikában. Önelégült felháborodás, hogy a másik rosszul tudja, nekem van igazam. (…) Ha ismereteket szerzek, akkor el tudok távolodni a vádaskodás mikroszkopikus kicsinyességétől, más perspektívából látom a dolgokat. Annie Jacobsen

Ma megerősítem magamban a bizalmat az isteni vezettetésben: “Hajlandó vagyok elfogadni a benső irányítást, amely lelkem mélyéből fakad!”.

40 Days of Love – Day7

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 7

Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful! It is easy to be grateful when all is well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what he has been given but also for all that he has been denied. “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing blame and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of blame. 

I let go of blame because the power to overcome hardship is never in what happened to me. Rather, power is in what lies within me.
I choose to avoid the blame game. Perpetually pointing the finger at myself or
someone or something external to myself creates an endless loop of pain that offers no opportunity to transform hurtful outcomes into loving, just, compassionate, and peaceful experiences.
I let go of blame by focusing my faith in directions that empower me rather than diminish me. I let go of blame, knowing that I may make mistakes, but I am not a mistake. I let go of blame with the understanding that actions intended to hurt me can be transformed into a blessing for me. I let go of blame because it no longer serves me. I let go of blame. Period! —Rev. Sheila R. McKeithen, J.D.

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “In faith, I embrace my greater possibilities over the pain of blame.”

Rule No7 invites us today to be grateful regardless of our circumstances. Though it is hard sometimes, to see the good and the learning in a difficult situation, we can chose to believe that it is there. By expressing our gratitude, we place faith into the unfolding of our life. The energy of gratitude attracts good into our life.

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No7 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing blame worked for you. 

Today we affirm: Today, I release blame.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on blame. Look at your life as it is right now and find where you blame, either yourself or someone else. Can you see what lies behind your blame? Is it pain or anger or a feeling of helplessness? As you close your eyes to move into the silence, call upon the inner knowing, the Loving core of God’s Presence within. Place your blame onto God’s ‘hands’ and say it out loud: I let go of blaming myself and/or blaming XYZ. I have the power to transform my life! Let the words sink in! Finally, express your gratitude for the opportunity of transformation in this particular situation. 

Daily quotes:

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. Khalil Gibran

A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. John Burroughs

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Hatodik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A hatodik szabály

magány és az egyedül lét két különböző dologAmikor magányos vagykönnyen eshetsz abba a tévhitbehogy mindenamit gondolsz és teszel helyes. Az egyedül lét fontos mindannyiunk számáraAzonban, ha tisztán akarjuk látni önmagunkattalálnunk kell valakitakinek a ‘tükrében‘ ránézhetünk önmagunkraEmlékezz arrahogy csupán egy szerető szívben látod meg igazán önmagad és a benned élő Istenit. “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

Ma elengedjük a mértéktelenséget és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a dolgok tulzásba vitt élvezetét, a habzsolást és a mértéktelenséget.

A mértéktelenség különféle fajtái, mint például a túlevés és addikciók, mögött szinte mindig a személyes akarat túlfeszülése áll. Valamit kontrollálni akarunk, de nem tudunk. A mértéktelenség eredménye szinte minden esetben sérülés, testi, lelki, vagy emocionális. 

Gyakran arra használjuk az akaratunkat, hogy minél több élményt habzsoljunk be, amelyek elfedik a bennünk lappangó fájdalom vagy üresség érzetet. Amikor észrevesszük, hogy habzsolunk valamit lehetőségek kapunk arra, hogy kapcsolatot teremtsünk önmagunkkal és az isteni vezettetéssel.  

Ahhoz, hogy el tudjuk engedni a kényszeres kontroll igényét, át kell engedjük az írányítást a bennünk élő bölcsességnek, amely az isteni energiából táplálkozik. Nap mind nap gyakorolhatjuk az irányítás átadását azáltal, ha megerősítjük magunkban a tudatot, hogy az isteni vezettetés a legjobb felé terel, napról napra el tudjuk engedni habysolás igényünket. — Rev. Kathy Harwood Long és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Elengedem a kontrollt. Az isteni vezettetés a legjobb jót hozza meg számomra. Hagyom, hogy vezessen és támogasson.” 

A hatodik szeretetszabályarra kér bennünket ma, hogy vegyük észrehogy mennyire fontosak az emberk az életünkbenCsupán egy másik ember szemének tükrében látunk hiányosságainkra és szépségünkre és érezzük meg isteni lényünk jelenlétét azáltalhogy észrevesszük ezt egy másikban 

Ma gondolkodjunk el azon, hogy milyen szerepet töltenek be az emberek az életünkben.  Találjunk valakit, akire dühösek vagyunk valamiért. A dühünk azt jelzi, hogy valamit meg kell tanulnunk ezen a kapcsolatok keresztül. Gondoljuk végig, hogy személyiségünk mely aspektusát reflektálja vissza nekünk ez az ember. Mi rejtőzik a dühünk mögött?  Majd gondoljuk végig, hogy van-e valami, amit tehetnénk annak érdekében, hogy ez a feszültség megszűnjön.

Napi idézetek:

Akkor maradhat csak igazán ember az ember, ha kapcsolatban áll másokkal; aki magányosan, csak magára gondolva él, az egy idő után szegényesnek, sőt elviselhetetlennek találja életét, s különböző méltatlan módokon igyekszik jobbulást találni. Tőke Péter Miklós

Megrendítő belegondolni, hogy nem pusztán önálló, másoktól elszigetelt lények vagyunk. Az, hogy az emberek ennyire össze vannak fonódva egymással, egyszerre óriási felelősség és mérhetetlenül értékes adomány. Maybell Eequay

40 Days of Love – Day6

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 6

Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Isolation is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually, it is best to find a person who will be your mirror. Remember only in another person’s heart can you truly see yourself and the Presence of God within you.  “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing confusion and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of overindulgence. 

Underlying every indulgence, compulsion, and addiction is self will and a craving for power over some aspect of living. Overindulgence is undermining and self-wounding.
Willful seeking of pleasure through the senses to soothe pain and fill emptiness can be a wake-up call to study the spiritual dimensions of will, our executive faculty. Living from our true Divine nature is rooted in the understanding, that I do nothing on my own.
Beginning the day with spiritual practices harnesses the will, thereby calming cravings and reestablishing an inner sense of connection. The spiritual humility of releasing the need to have power over anything is nurtured by affirming: Not my will, but divine will for good is done through me. Divine will is given the reins. Inner integrity leads the way throughout the day. —Rev. Kathy Harwood Long

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “Divine will for good is done through me.”

Rule No6 invites us today to look at how important the presence of other humans in our life is. We can only see ourselves clearly and our God Essence within through the presence of another. ‘Love thy neighbour’ means the acknowledgement of the important role ‘any other’ person plays in our life. When we are angry with someone, we are presented with an opportunity to learn about part of our nature that is in limitation. The person we are angry with plays an important role in our realising the truth of the matter and allow for positive change.

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No6 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing overindulgence worked for you. 

Today we affirm: Today, I release overindulgence.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on people who brings the best and the worst out of you today. Chose one of each. In meditation ask what aspect of yourself you see reflected in each of them? Take the learning and express your gratitude for the inner guidance.

Daily quotes:

Temperance is a mean with regard to pleasures. Aristotle
For Pleasure, Delight, Peace and Felicity live in method and temperance. Margaret Cavendish

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Ötödik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

Az ötödik szabály

világban lévő konfliktusok, előítéletek és ellenségeskedések zöme a nyelvi félreértésekből fakadLégy önmagad, ne adj túlságosan a szavakra! A szeretet birodalmában a nyelv elveszíti hatalmátMindaztamit a szavak nem képesek kifejezni, a csöndben hallhatjuk meg! “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

 

Ma elengedjük a  zavartság érzetét és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a zavartságunkat.

Csak akkor tudunk a zavartság érzetünkön felülkerekedni, ha megerősítjük a kapcsolatot benső énünkkel. Zavartságunk annak jele, hogy elveszítettük a kapcsolatot a bennünk élő istenivel és ezzel  a benső iránymutatással is.  

Ahhoz, hogy úrrá tudjunk lenni a zavartságon, hajlandóvá kell váljunk arra, hogy stabil kapcsolatot létesítsünk benső világunkkal.  A bensőnkben élő letisztult gondolatok iránymutatást adnak a legnehezebb pillanokban is.  A dolgok átláthatóvá benső fényünk által válnak. —Rev. Suzanne Carter és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán:Kapcsolódom bennem lévő isteni jelenléthez és így könnyedén világossá válik számomramit kell tegyek.” 

A ötödik szeretetszabály, arra kér bennünket ma, hogy ismerjük fel a szavak tényleges értelmét önmagunk számára azzal, hogy elengedjük a mások által a szavakra aggatott értelmeket és keressük meg azok tényleges értelmét önmagunk számára. Például, sokan nem szeretik az Isten szót használni a r’ragasztott vallási és dogmatikus értelmezések miatt. Pedig az isten szó jelentését csak saját élményeken keresztül lehet megtalálni

Ma gondolkodjunk el azon, hogy mit jelentenek ezek a szavak: isten, szeretet, felelősség, béke, tisztelet kétféle képpen. Először vegyük észre, hogy milyen jelentést tulajdonít ezeknek a szavaknak a körülöttünk lévő világ illetve, hogy milyen jelentését tanultuk meg ezeknek a szavaknak. Majd  üljünk le meditálni és kérdezzük meg benső isteni részünktől, hogy mit jelentenek ezek  a szavak ténylegesen számunkra. Majd írjuk le ezeket is a papír másik felére. Vegyük észre a különbségeket. 

A napi elgondolkodtató egy rövid meditáció formájában:

Napi idézetek:

Minél fejlettebb a tudomány, annál nehezebb elvetni egy teremtő és egy mindenható bölcsesség örök létezésének nyilvánvalóságát. Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel

A valóban morális személy számára a követendő szabályok nem úgy jelennek meg, mint amelyeket külső befolyásra kell követnie, hanem olyan nyilvánvalóságokként, amelyek teljes mértékben saját, belső meggyőződéséből fakadnak. Csányi Vilmos

Ma megerősítem magamban a tisztánlátást: “Hajlandó vagyok befelé fordulni és észrevenni a bennem élő világosságot!”. 

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org 

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagunk számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

40 Days of Love – Day5

40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 5

Most of the problems of the world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Don’t ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of Love, language, as we know it, becomes obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through silence.  “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing confusion and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of confusion.

Releasing confusion is often said to be a matter of reconnecting with our inner knowing. When confusion arises, it’s a sign that we’ve lost touch with our inner guidance or the divine presence within us.
To dispel confusion, we must be willing to take the time to reestablish this connection. Often, sharing our thoughts with a loved one who listens with unconditional love and understanding can help us find the answers within ourselves.
Once we remember that our connection to our inner knowing dispels confusion, we can take action to reconnect and find clarity. —Rev. Suzanne Carter

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I reconnect with the divine presence within and find clarity on what to do.”. 

Rule No5 invites us today to look at the meaning of words. If we truly want to know the meaning of a word for us, we must let go of the understanding of a word by others and find it for ourselves in the silence. E.g. many people find the word God difficult to use because the meaning of God is associated with a religion and its dogmas. But the meaning of the word God can only be understood through the experience of God in the silence of meditation and prayer.

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No5 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing confusion worked for you. 

Today we affirm: Today, I release confusion.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on the meaning of a few words such as God, responsibility, Loving, peace, and such. Move into meditation and look at what meanings the words come with from the world. Then let them go and listen within. Gain clarity on the true meaning of these word for YOU!

Daily quote: That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something. Meredith Monk

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Böjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Negyedik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A negyedik szabály

“Allahot a világmindenség minden porszemében megtalálod, mert ő nem csupán dzsamibanmecsetbentemplombanvagy zsinagógában lakozikhanem minden pillanatban és mindenhol jelen van. Aki Allahot látja az nem él, de nem is halott. Aki megtalálja őt, az az idők végezetéig nála marad. “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

 

Ma elengedjük a rugalmatlanságunkat, és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a rugalmatlanságunkat

Előfodult már veled, hogy ragaszkodtál ahhoz, amit gondoltál, még akkor is, amikor úgy érezted, hogy nincsen igazad, vagy nem látod helyesen a helyzetet? Bámulatos, az, hogy ki tudsz állni azért, amiben hiszel, ugyakkor, amikor ragaszkodunk, ahhoz, hogy a dolgok úgy legyenek, ahogyan mi szeretnénk, előfordulhat, hogy fájdalmas élményekben van részünk. A legfontosabb, hogy nyitottak tudjunk maradni bármilyen életélménybe is sodor bennünket az élet.

Ha észrevesszük a merevség fizikai jeleit – megfeszült állkapocs, ökölbe szorított kéz, düh roham -, akkor már meg is tettük az első  lépést. Majd  egy mély lélegzet vétel segítségével visszatalálunk középpontunkba. Csak lélegezzünk mélyeket és figyeljünk a bennünk élő békességbe. Majd vegyük észre az isteni szeretet energia jelenlétét.

Azzól függetlenül, hogy milyen történésekben találjuk magunkat, választhatjuk azt, hogy nyitottak maradunk, nem állunk ellen, és bizalommal lépünk bele az elénk táruló élményekbe. —Rev. Kurt Condra és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Rugalmas vagyok, mert bízom magamban és bízom az isteni energia iránymutatásában.” 

A negyedik szeretetszabály, arra kér bennünket ma, hogy vegyük észre az isteni szeretetteljesség állandó jelenlétét önmagunkban. Valamint tudatosítsuk magunkban azt az igazságot, hogy az isteni energia mindent átsző. Nem kell templomba járnunk ahhoz, hogy kapcsolatba kerüljünk vele. Csupán be kell csuknunk a szemünket, befelé figyelnünk, és engednünk, hogy a bennünk élő isteni energia megmutatkozhasson. Attól a pillanattól kezdve vágyakozni fogunk ez iránt a jelenlét iránt. 

Ma gondolkodjunk el a fenti gondolatokon és az alábbi kérdésen:

  • Milyen helyzetekben reagálok mereven és engedek ritkán az elképzelésimből? Mitől tartok ilyenkor?
  • Hogyan tudnám támogatni magam abban, hogy rugalmasabb legyek ezekben a helyzetekben?

Napi idézetek:

Ha valakiben van elegendő rugalmasság az új befogadására, akkor tanulni is képes majd, vagyis fejleszteni önmagát és előlépni a saját életében. Tari Annamária

Nem könnyű rugalmasnak maradni: a szívet megkeményíteni az élet harcaira, de meglágyítani a szeretetre. Jeremias Gotthelf

Túl merevek vagyunk. Aki rugalmasan gondolkodik, az nem panaszkodik, hanem gondolkodik és cselekszik, alkalmazkodik. Jordán Ferenc

Ma megerősítem magambana rugalmasságot: “Hajlandó vagyok meghallani az útmutatást, és szabadon követni azt.”.

40 Days of Love – Day4

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 4

Intellect and Love are made of different materials. Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything. Intellect is always cautious and advises, ‘Beware too much ecstasy,’ whereas Love says, ‘Oh, never mind! Take the plunge!’ Intelligence does not easily break down, whereas Love can effortlessly reduce itself to rubble. But treasures are hidden among ruins. A broken heart hides treasures.  “*

Today, we are releasing rigidity and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of rigidity.

It’s admirable to stand firm in our beliefs, but insisting our way is the only way can be both painful and limiting. The key is to keep an open mind. Physical or emotional signs—a tightened jaw, clenched fists, a stiffened back, or a flash of temper—are clues. Noticing these signals is the first step. Then it’s about finding our center again. Take deep breaths. Listen more than speak. Affirm God’s presence. Pray for peace. Jonah never gets it; to the end, he rigidly clings to his mistaken beliefs. His story reminds us that, no matter the experience, we can choose to keep our hearts and minds open—or not. —Rev. Kurt Condra

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I earnestly listen for guidance and follow it freely.”. 

Rule No4 ties in very nicely with today’s Lent reading. We are invited today to allow the flow of Loving to carry us to new experiences. We are asked to release old and limiting beliefs so we can enjoy the ride that Love takes us on. It is time to experience life to the fullest because every experience hides some treasures for us!

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No4 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing rigidity worked for you. 

Today we affirm: Today, I release rigidity.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on where it is that you are rigid with your ideas and how you block the flow of Loving with ‘logical thinking’ and ‘good excuses’. When you find them, release them into God’s Grace and allow yourself to live a little! <3 

Daily quote:  Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. Tony Robbins

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Bőjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Harmadik nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A harmadik szabály

korán négy jelentés réteget hordoz. Az első réteg maga a szó szerinti jelentés. A második szint a rejtett jelentés. A harmadik a legmélyebb jelentés. A negyedik réteg pedig olyan mély értelműhogy szavakkal már nem is írható le. “* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

 

Ma elengedjük a hiányérzetünket, és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Böjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el hiányérzetünket. 

Bizonyára hallottál már másokat arról panaszkodni, hogy nincsen elegendő valamiből az életükben, vagy nem engedhetnek meg maguknak valamit. Lehet te is mondtál már hasonlókat. Sajnos nagyon könnyen limitáljuk az életünkbe áramjó jót azzal, hogy a negatív dolgokra koncentrálunk. Észre sem vesszük, hogy szavaink és gondolataink megakadályozzák a hozzánk áramló bőség életünkbe való megérkezését.  

A tudtat, hogy van elegendő és az számomra elérhető, valamint a hit abban, hogy támogatva vagyok erőfeszítéseimben vonza be a jót az életünkbe.  

Milyen gondolatok járnak a fejedben? Ha tudni szeretnéd, nézz rá az életedre! Az életed milyensége mutatja meg a gondolataid tartalmát.  

Ahhoz, hogy bármi változhasson az életünkben, és ahhoz, hogy jóság, békesség, és bőség érkezhessen az életünkbe, el kell engednünk a hiányról szóló gondolatainkat és helyükbe bizalommal és szeretettel teli gondolatokat kell helyeznünk.  

Az isteni szeretetteljesség és az abban rejlő bőség csak bizalommal  érhető el. —Rev. Lesley Miller és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkathogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Érdemes vagyok az isteni szeretet megélésére! Beengedem a szeretetteljes bőséget az életembe.” 

 A harmadik szeretetszabály, arra kér bennünket ma, hogy vegyük észre, hogy az isteni jelenlét nem az emberiség által szentnek tartott helyeken van, hanem belül az emberi lélelkben lakozik. Ha kapcsolatot akarunk találni az isteni szeretettel és az abból fakadó bőséggel, azt önmagunkon belül kell kultiválnunk. 

Ma gondolkodjunk el a fenti gondolatokon és az alábbi kérdésen:

  • Hogyan hozok létre valódi kapcsolatot az isteni szeretettejességgel?

Soha ne hagyj ki egy lehetőséget, hogy valami szépett láss, mert a szépség Isten kézírása.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

40 Days of Love – Day3

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 3

You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue, or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for him: in the heart of a true lover. “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing thoughts of lack and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of thoughts of lack.

Have you ever heard someone complain that they didn’t have enough or claim they couldn’t afford something? You may have said those words yourself. How often do we argue for our limitations? Look at the words we use. Evidence of lack and limitation comes from fear.

Faith instead opens us to creative possibilities. What’s in your thoughts? If you want to know, take a look at your life.

Thoughts of lack shut the door to the abundant flow of good the Universe has for you. Once we release the habit of focusing on whatever we perceive as lacking, we can move from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance, health, wisdom, and
well-being.

When we choose to release patterns of lack thinking, God’s good begins to show up everywhere. It is always flowing.—Rev. Lesley Miller

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I  feel worthy of God’s Love for me. I allow change to bring spiritual contentment into my life”. 

Rule No3 invites us to look at the true ‘source of God’. In order to feel God’s Loving presence in our life, we need to create a personal relationship with God through meditation and prayer. It does not matter where we are as we turn our attention to God but we must do it from within, from the deepest desire of our being for connection. We must turn into a Lover of God, someone who understands that abundant life is only possible by walking in and with God.

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No3 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing thoughts of lack worked for you. 

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here. Ram Dass

Today we affirm: Today, I release thoughts of lack.

Daily contemplative task: I would like to invite you to contemplate on how you connect with God and why. Do you consciously build a deepening relationship with the Divine Presence within yourself and all around you? How do you do that?

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.

40 Days of Love – Day2

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 2

The path to the Truth is a labor of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide! Not your mind. Meet, challenge, and ultimately prevail over your nafs (false ego) with your heart. Knowing your false ego will lead you to the Knowledge of God. “* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

Today, we are releasing discontent and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of discontent.

“For spiritual beings on an evolutionary journey, discontent plays an integral role. It speaks through an ache in the pit of the stomach, a restless mind, or an unquenchable fatigue. While our spiritual nature yearns to search, seek, and expand, discontent is the voice of ego stifling that still, small voice within.
Ego desires consistency, often resisting change. But change is the fuel of spiritual development; in our willingness to embrace change, we can remain content no matter the circumstance before us. Rather than allowing discontent to drain or stifle,
see it as a signal for something exciting that is underway. Let discontent turn your attention inward, allowing that still, small voice to move you toward your next adventure.”—Rev. David B. Adams

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I  allow change to bring spiritual contentment into my life”. 

Rule No2 invites us to look at where we live our life from: our ego (the mind) or our spiritual nature (our heart). We are asked to learn about our false ego and our limitations so we can let them go and realize our true nature.

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No2 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing discontent worked for you. 

“Be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Today we affirm: Today, I release discontent.

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Bőjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Második nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

A második szabály

Isten útján előre haladni csak a szív által lehet, ésszel nem. A kalaúzod mindig a szíved legyen, ne az eszedIsmerd meg önmagad! Ne nyomd el a lélek szavát! 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

 

Ma elengedjük elégedettlenség érzetünket, és helyette, magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Bőjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el elégedetlenség érzetünket. 

Mindenki, aki spirituális vagy szellemi úton jár, szembe kerül egyszer az elégetlenség érzettel. Az ego számára semmi sem elegendő, mindig többet és ‘jobbat’ akar. Bár spirituális vagy szellemi énünk folyton mozgásban van és állandó változásokon megy keresztül, mindig elégedett marad, mert látja a teljes egészet, nem csupán az éppeni helyzetre figyel, mint az ego. 

Ha elégedettlennek érezzük magunkat, akkor meg kell tanulnunk meglátni a nagyobb egészet és megerősíteni magunkban a hitet abban, hogy minden pillanatban valami nagyszerű van készülőben, ha hagyjuk kibontakozni azt. Majd fordítsuk befelé figyelmünket és halljuk meg lelkünk gyengéd és szeretetteljes hivogató szavát, amely vidáman új utakra sarkall bennünket! Rev. David B. Adams és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkat, hogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Bízom isteni mivoltomban, a bennem élő jóban, ami része a mindent átszövő isteni energiának. Biztonságban vagyok.” 

 Az második szeretet szabály, arra kér bennünket ma, hogy vegyük észre a külömbséget az egonkból jövő hang és a lélek hangja között. Azzal, ha bátorságot merítünk és rátekintünk hiányosságainkra és helytelen gondolkodásmódunkra, el tudjuk kezdeni elbontani a falat, ami köztünk és az isteni szeretetteljesség között húzódik. Nem vesszük észre, hogy azért nem érezzük a mindent átszövő jót és az isteni szeretetet, mert gondolatainkkal és limitált viselkedési mintánkkal megakadályozzunk önmagunkat abban, hogy érzékelni tudjuk azokat. 

Ma gondolkodjunk el a fenti gondolatokon és az alábbi kérdésen:

  • Milyen limitáló gondolatok és viselkedési minkát választanak el attól, hogy érezni tudjam Isten (az isteni energia) szeretetét a mindennapjaimban?

A napi elgondolkodtató egy rövid meditáció formájában:

Ma, szeretnélek, megkérni, hogy tölts egy kis időt a fenti kérdés megválaszolásával, hallgasd meg a YOUTUBE-on, a második szabályt egy párszor, hogy értelmet nyerhessen számodra, valamint hallgasd meg a fenti meditációt. 

Napi idézet: Legyetek elégedettek, azzal, amitek van! Mert Isten azt mondta: „Sohasem hagylak cserben, sem nem hagylak magadra.” Zsidók 13:5 (Biblia)

Ma megerősítem magamban: Hajlandó vagyok elengedni a elégedetlenség érzetet kelltő gondolatokat.

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik..  Unity.org 

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagunk számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkereset a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését. 

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi útat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

40 Days of Love – Day1

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal

Rule 1

How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame swelled inside us. If we see God as full of Love and compassion, so are we.“* 

To  listen to the audio, click on the picture below.

 

ASH WEDNESDAY

Today, we are releasing stress and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet Invites us today – on Ash Wednesday – to release and let go of stress.

“Unfortunately, stress can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. When we begin to feel stressed,  it’s always best to return to our spiritual principles. when challenges arise, rather than useless worrying we should look beyond them to God. When we think about God/our higher power/Spirit manifesting as perfect health and wholeness, joy and happiness, love and harmony, we give energy to that which we desire and take energy away from the problem. We shift our attention from stressing to letting God express in and through us as good.” Rev. Saba Mchunguzi

 We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I trust my Divine essence that is of God. 

Rule No1 invites us to look at our relationship with God or the Divine Being, Supreme Being, The Universe (use the name that works for you best). How do I see God? What do I think about God?  Is he a punishing guy in the Heavens who judges my ever action? Or is It a gentle breeze constantly brushing my entire being with Loving Kindness?  As I answer the questions, I understand where I stand with myself. By noticing how I see God, I can learn where I need to change so to create a more Loving relationship with myself. 

Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No1 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing stress worked for you. 

You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you. – Dan Millman

Today we affirm: Today, I release stress.

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Bőjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok – Első nap

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

Az első szabály

A szavak, amelyekkel meghatározzuk a teremtőt tükrözik, hogy milyennek látjuk önmagunkat. Ha Istent félelmetesnek képzeled, aki előtt folyton szégyenkezned kell, ez azt jelenti, hogy tele vagy félelemmel és bűntudattal. Ha viszont Istent szeretetteljesnek és könyörületesnek látod, ez azt jelenti, hogy te is ilyen vagy.“* 

A szabályt meg tudod hallgatni a YOUTUBE-on, ha ráklikkelsz a képre:

 

HAMVAZÓ SZERDA

Ma elengedjük stressz érzetünket, és magunkhoz öleljük az Isteni Szeretetteljességet.

A Bőjti Munkafüzet ma arra invitál bennünket, hogy engedjük el a bennünk munkáló stresszt. 

“Sajnos a stressz élménynek számos negatív hatása van, mind a mentális, mind a fizikai egészségünkre. Amikor elkezdjük stesszeltnek érezni magunkat és elménk tele van felesleges negatív gondolatokkal a jövőt illetően, a legjobb amit tehetünk, az, hogy figyelmünket elvonjuk ezektől a gondolatoktól és elkezdünk befelé figyelni. Ezáltal lehetőséget adunk magunknak arra, hogy túl lássunk a pillanat félelmein és kapcsolatot teremthessünk a bennünk élő erővel, ami az isteni energiából táplálkozik. Amint elvonjuk energiáinkat a félelelmmel teli bizonytalan jövőből és áthelyezzük a bennünk élő isteni bizonyosságba, megnyugszunk. Megengedjük, hogy az isteni energia átjája egész lényünket és kifejeződésre tuthasson általunk. Végeredményben bizalmat helyezünk önmagunkba és a mindet átszövő isteni energiába, amely mindig a legjobb jó felé vezet. Rev. Saba Mchunguzi és Rev. Kudlik

Ma azzal vonjuk szeretetteljes ölelésbe önmagunkat, hogy az alábbi mondatra emlékeztetjük magunkat a nap folyamán: “Bízom isteni mivoltomban, a bennem élő jóban, ami része a mindent átszövő isteni energiának. Biztonságban vagyok.” 

 Az első szeretet szabály, arra kér bennünket, hogy tekintsünk rá az isteni energiával való kapcsolatunkra. 

Ma gondolkodjunk el az alábbi kérdéseken:

  • Milyennek gondolom Istent?
  • Milyen érzéseim vannak az Isten szó hallatán?
  • Milyen más szót tudnék haszálni az Isten szó helyett, hogy szeretetteljesebben tudjak viszonyúlni ehhez az energiához, ami általában Istennek hívunk?

Addig míg kapcsolatunk önmagunkkal, a bennünk élő isteni és a mindent átszövő isteni energiával ambivalens, letisztázatlan, vagy negatív, nem tudunk bízni sem önmagunkban, sem annak lehetőségében, hogy az életünkben minden rendben van és rendben is lesz.

A napi elgondolkodtató egy rövid meditáció formájában:

Ma, szeretnélek, megkérni, hogy tölts egy kis időt a fenti kérdések megálaszolásával, hallgasd meg a YOUTUBE-on, az első szabályt egy párszor, hogy értelmet nyerhessen számodra, valamint hallgasd meg a fenti meditációt. 

Napi idézet: Nem szükséges a gondolataidat kontrolálni. De nem szabad hagynod, hogy azok a kontroljuk alatt tarsanak! – Dan Millman

Ma megerősítem magamban: Hajlandó vagyok elengedni a stressz érzetet kelltő gondolatokat.

Megjegyzés : *Minden, amit írtam Elif Shafak: A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvön valamint a UNITY.org által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-en alapszik.  Unity.org

A Szeretet 40 Napja – Bőjti Szellemi Gyakorlatok

40 Nap Újjászületés és Megújulás

Bevezetés

Mi ez? 

Egy pár évvel ezelőtt azon tűnödtem a böjti időszak kezdetén, hogy hogyan tehetném ezt a 40 napot érdekesebbé. Általában az emberek és magam is a böjtöt arra haszáltam, hogy megvontam magamtól bizonyos ételeket, amelyekkel úgymond ‘böjtöltem’. Ezt unalmasnak is találtam már és nem is éreztem azt, hogy segítene közelebb kerülnöm isteni önvalómhoz és az isteni szeretet energiájához. 

Amint keresgéltem gyakorlatiasabb és érdekesebb anyagok között, rátaláltam  Elif Shafak, A szerelem 40 szabálya című könyvére. Annyira beleszerettem a könyvbe, Shams-ba, Rumiba és a 40 Szabályba, hogy úgy döntöttem ezeket fogom haszálni a 40 bőjti nap alatt. De hogyan…? 

Háttér információ

Először azt hittem, hogy a könyvet Shams Tabrizi (Rumi tanára) írta, ami valószinűtlen volt, de azért rákerestem a ‘szeretet Sufi szabályaira’, nem sok sikerrel. Rumi és Shamz 13 századi misztikus Sufi tanítók voltak. Majd kiderült, hogy a könyv egy kitalált történet, amely magában foglal történelmi eseményeket is, valamint megismerteti az olvasót a Szufizmussal is.  

Amint olvastam a könyvet, a 40 szabályt nem csupán érdekesnek, de elgondolkodtatónak is találtam. Rámutatott arra, hogy mekkora tévedésben élünk a szeretet természetét illetően. 

Szerelmes filmek ezreit nézzük a Netflix-en, amelyek semmi valósat nem mondanak nekünk a szeretetről. Mert az ‘igazi szeretet’ a cuppogós, gyomorcsavargatós és pityókás érzeten messze túl mutat. 

Azt látom, hogy megszámlálhatatlan órát töltünk azzal, hogy a lelki-társunkat keressük, aki majd úgy szeret minket, mint senki más. Miközben nem vesszük észre, hogy az a valaki, aki tényleg szeret bennünket pontosan olyannak, amilyenek vagyunk ott él bennünk. Mindig is ott élt bennünk és arra vár hogy végre felfedezzük őt.  

Azt érzem, hogy nagyon fontos megtalálni a SZERETET szó valós jelentését önmagam számára. És nem csupán megérteni, de megtapasztalni is azt a SZERETET élményt, amely születésünktől fogva ott él bennünk.  

Úgy döntöttem, hogy a böjti időszak alatt megkeresemt a Szeretet szó tényleges jelentését, a spirituális és isteni jelentését, úgy, hogy végig járom a Szeretet 40 Szabályát spirituális és szellemi gyakorlatok formájában.  

Szóval, ez évben is végig járom a 40 napos bőjti szellemi utat, azon mélázva, hogy mit jelent igazán a Szeretet, főként az Isteni vagy Spirituális Szeretet, azáltal, hogy gyakorlatba ültetem a Szeretet 40 Szabályát* és a UNITY által kiadott LENT BOOKLET-et használva, minden nap

2025. márcus 5 és április 21 között!

40 Days of Love – Introduction

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

Rebirth and Renewal

An Introduction

What is it about? 

As I was looking for some material for contemplation during the Christian Season of Lent a few years ago, I ran into a book called 40 Rules of Love by Elif Shafak CLICK HERE (Read more about the book below). I fell in love with the so-called ‘rules of Love’.

Background 

At first, I thought that Shams Tabrizi wrote a book – which is very unlikely – and started to look for his ‘rulebook on Love’. Since he was a rather particular 13th century Sufi Mystic known for being the teacher of Rumi, I thought,  that he might have left some notes behind which served as a base for the book. Well, nothing like that. The book – 40 Rules of Love  – is a fictional story. It is a story of Love, on Shams and Rumi, but most importantly the book offers 40 so called ‘rules’ on how to live a Spirit-filled Life.

I have collected some information on Shams’ Life and his impact on Rumi’s Spiritual unfoldment that you can read HERE

As I was reading the book, I have fallen in love with both the story and the ‘rules.  I found them thoughtful and deep. Each one made me think. They reminded me how much we are attached to the phantasy of rom-coms that tell nothing about the Truth of Love. They do not make it real or even believable. But there is a kind of Love that is beyond the warm and fuzzy emotions and fantasies, a Love that Rumi and Shams wrote so beautifully about.  

We often spend countless hours trying to find love in another person or in the world but what we fail to see is that the Love we are so desperately searching for is right there within ourselves. It has always been there. We only need to discover it or uncover it, more like.

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten Journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 5th of March and the 17th April, 2025

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

40 Days of Love – Day40+7

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rules 

At the link below, you can find the audio recording of all the Rules. You can randomly choose one and contemplate on it. It may bring you some insight or something to let go of today.

*

ESTER SUNDAY, the Holy Week

Today, we are releasing any attachment to our physical life and embracing God’s Love for us.

Today, as we release the ultimate attachment which is to our physical life, we remember that our souls continue their spiritual journey aft er death but that our
human lives are on an upward trajectory while we are here.

Today we celebrate all that the Easter story means to us. In  resurrection we realize that we have risen to a new level of consciousness on our journey of enlightenment.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Today we affirm: Today I let go of all attachments and arrive to a higher plain.

Holy Week or Passion Week   

Holy Week in the Christian year is the week immediately before Easter.

Holy Week begins with the commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, marks the betrayal of Jesus on Spy Wednesday (Holy Wednesday), climaxing with the commemoration of the Mystical or Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Holy Week concludes with Christ’s rest in death and descent into hell on Holy Saturday.

Christians believe that Jesus rested in death from the ninth hour (3 pm) on Good Friday until just before dawn on Sunday morning, the day of his resurrection from death, commonly known as Easter Sunday.

Holy Week liturgies generally attract the largest crowds of the year. Many Christian cultures have different traditions such as special liturgies or services, floats, sculptures or live reenactments of Christ’s life, his arrest and crucifixion (also called the Lord’s passion, the Passion of Christ or Passion of Jesus)

Looking at the ‘story’ above, what do you think this week could be about in terms of ‘Lifting one’s consciousness?’

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,

*

Today, we are releasing fear of change and embracing God’s Love for us.

Today, our LENT booklet invites us to release release fear of change by embracing the idea that change is inevitable.

“The first step is to get in tune with the Infinite,” Eric Butterworth wrote in his essay “How to Overcome Fear and Worry.” We can take a gentle, cleansing breath to get in touch with the indwelling presence of God. As we do this, we release fear and embrace change wholeheartedly.

Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Today we affirm: I am willing to release all limiting thoughts
and know change as my divine birthright

Good Friday, the Holy Week

Today, we are releasing blame and embracing God’s Love for us.

Today, as we release blame we remember the words of ultimate forgiveness:

“Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34

Also, instead of reading clever words on how to release blame I would like you to image hearing these words inside of you:

forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing

Then move your attention to different events and people in you life so far who may have hurt you. When someone’s name appeared in your consciousness simple do as you are told:

forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing

(Please, remember, we are not forgiving the act but the error in their consciousness)

Then start remembering events where you were at fault, and people who have hurt. Once again do as you are told:

forgive them (him/her); for they (s/he) do not know what they (s/he) are doing

(Here we are forgiving our blame, our judgement against ourselves)

Today we affirm: Today I let go of blame and view every
experience in the light of understanding

Maundy Thursday, the Holy Week

Today, we are releasing anger and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release anger because it can can consume us, and yet to let it go we must willingly acknowledge its presence. If we attempt to bypass that step on the journey, we allow anger to color our perception of every
area of life. 

Today is Maundy Thursday, a day when we remember the Last Supper. Jesus was a man who could get angry when he wanted to make a point, but not that evening. He humbly washed the feet of his disciples, even Judas. 

I love the story of the feet washing. I cannot imagine a more humble act of loving.

 

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. NIV John 13:1-17

Today we affirm: My actions and thoughts are fueled by love

Holy Week or Passion Week   

Holy Week in the Christian year is the week immediately before Easter.

Holy Week begins with the commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, marks the betrayal of Jesus on Spy Wednesday (Holy Wednesday), climaxing with the commemoration of the Mystical or Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Holy Week concludes with Christ’s rest in death and descent into hell on Holy Saturday.

Christians believe that Jesus rested in death from the ninth hour (3 pm) on Good Friday until just before dawn on Sunday morning, the day of his resurrection from death, commonly known as Easter Sunday.

Holy Week liturgies generally attract the largest crowds of the year. Many Christian cultures have different traditions such as special liturgies or services, floats, sculptures or live reenactments of Christ’s life, his arrest and crucifixion (also called the Lord’s passion, the Passion of Christ or Passion of Jesus)

Looking at the ‘story’ above, what do you think this week could be about in terms of ‘Lifting one’s consciousness?’

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Let go, Let God – Lent 2024′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rules 

At the link below, you can find the audio recording of all the Rules. You can randomly choose one and contemplate on it. It may bring you some insight or something to let go of today.

Today, we are releasing negative thinking and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release negative thinking that is often brought on by the ‘negative news’ coming from the world. 

It is challenging not to get caught up in the craze of the world that lives on drama and negative thoughts. Troubling events in the world are a reality, yet instead of focusing on the negative, we can choose to turn our thoughts to the beauty and wonder that exist everywhere.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.—Proverbs 16:24

Today we affirm: I focus my thoughts on the goodness
and beauty in the world.

Today, we are releasing drama and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release drama that we often generate as a result of our unsettled mind. We can find that our thoughts that stem in fear end up in drama.

The more we align our hearts and minds with God, the more we are given clear direction. Fear and drama fade away. 

Breathing in slowly and mindfully, slowing to stillness, and filling ourselves up with gratitude pulls us away and frees us from inner and outer drama.

Today we affirm: I release drama and extend peace and love to all

Holy Monday the Holy Week

Today, we are releasing doubt and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release doubting that undermine our outlook on life, our confidence, even our relationships. When doubting, we question our own judgment and our faith in the Divine (or God or the Source).

In order to release doubting we must doubt the doubt, so to speak. We must examine them and question them. As we connect to our own inner wisdom, we challenge the doubt by asking: Is this really True? What am I afraid of?

But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.—James 1:6

Today we affirm: I am in tune with my own inner wisdom.

40 Days of Love – Day40

 

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 40

A life without Love is of no account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western. Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.”

*

Palm Sunday, Start of the Holy Week

Palm Sunday is celebrated as Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem when his followers waved palm branches and shouted hosanna.

The ultimate letting go

In the final week of Jesus’ life, which we commemorate as Holy Week starting today, we see him letting go in all the ways we have discussed: letting go of ego, of others’ approval, of worry, of fear, and of needing to be seen as right. We also see him letting go of outcomes, letting events unfold without his interference, trusting in his highest good.

How hard can it be, right?

Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water. Rule 40

Today’s rule reminds us again the real meaning of Love. I seems to me that Love that encompasses everything we are and everything we are surrounded with, may mean something different to us all. Depending on our Karmic lessons and our individual circumstances, we may experience God’s Love differently. Most people I know identify this ‘Love’ with freedom. I can relate to that. Some calls ‘Love’ ‘kindness’, some ‘acceptance’. I am realizing now that Love maybe the ultimate letting go. 

But letting go of what?

I think it is control. Control stems in fear. Fear is what Love isn’t. Jesus’ story is our ultimate ‘letting go’ story. You may not believe that Jesus was a human being at some point in history, and it is just fine. Can you the greatest spiritual journey in his story? Can you see this story as a reminder that in order to get closer to our most precious Essence that is of the Divine, we must let go of everything that isn’t; everything that isn’t Love.

The rules finished with Palm Sunday. We are welcomed to the house of ‘Love’ where we are asked to spend a week contemplating on the real meaning of Love for us and what it is that is not Love that we are asked to let go of.

Every day, we can spend some time, any time in silent contemplation on what it is that I need to let go of so to get closer to myself and God? When you find something, just say, I let you with compassion. I am no longer afraid of you.

“Trying to control the world?
I see you won’t succeed.

The world is a spiritual vessel
And cannot be controlled.

Those who control, fail.
Those who grasp, lose.

Some go forth, some are led,
Some weep, some blow flutes
Some become strong, some superfluous,
Some oppress, some destroyed.

Therefore the Sage,
Casts off extremes,
Casts off excess,
Casts off extravagance.”

― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Contemplation Day39

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 39

While the part change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way, not only does nothing remain the same, but also nothing ever really changes. For every Sufi who dies, another is born somewhere.”

*

Today we affirm: I observe my world in the light of love

Today’s rule remined me of the cycle of life and death and how little time we are allowed to deal with our karma or our learnings in a single life-time.  It also reminded me of the timelessness of Spirit, the Essence of who I am. Though, this form, this body I am inhabiting is finite, my Soul lives on leaving this mortal place with my last breath.

Though the cycle of life maybe somewhat scary, the infinity of my existence is comforting. 

What did you discover by contemplation on this rule and Lent reading?

in Loving and with many Blessings,
Rev Kudlik

Today, we are releasing judgement and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release judgment and choose to observe life from a higher point of view. I notice when I engage in judgemental conversations and  I consciously choose to b a witness to love and well-being in our beauty-infused world.

I expectantly look for acts of loving-kindness, I also watch for opportunities to be a blessing because I know that where I focus is where I am going. 

if I’ve criticized myself, focusing on past errors or goals not met, I now let go of self-judgment and embrace self-love.

The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. Psalm 145:9

Contemplation Day38

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 38

It is never too late to ask yourself, “Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?” Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death.”

*

Today we affirm: I serve from a loving, willing heart,
knowing God is my Source for all I need.

Obligation is a biggie for me. I have acted out of obligation most of my life. I still do sometimes. I need to be careful. Each time I am asked to do something, or I am chosen to do something, I say ‘Hurray! Yes, I am gonna do it! Except that I forget to check if I can do that or not; if I wanted to do it or not.

There is an ‘unceasing should’ inside of me. When in doubt, ‘Mr Should’ steps is telling me affably, that ‘ You ought to do that, that is the right thing to do, you know!’ Each time I say ‘No, it is not for me!’, there is a little voice inside of me saying: ‘You could have done it, why did you refuse, it is really not nice of you, you know!’ 

This is my ‘obligation-blame/shame’ Game.

It is never too late to ask yourself, “Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?” Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. Rule 38

Today’s rule is spot on again. Am I ready to change the life I am living? I so hope I am! There is aspects of my life that is really tiresome and a ‘Debby downer’. I keep on finding myself in situations where I act from the same place of fear and misunderstanding and the results are obviously the same. Every time I stay YES to an obligation that is not aligned with who I am, I drag myself down into self-pity and anger. Every time, I do not take the opportunity to change – e.g. say NO – I am letting myself down.

It is time to release obligation and serve myself first with a loving heart …

Today, we are releasing feeling obligated and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release feeling obligated and saying ‘yes’ before we think it through. When responding quickly and without considering what our ‘yes’ entails, we try to please or take advantage of a situation. 

Every situation brings an opportunity to know ourselves a bit more. When I awaken to the dilemma I have created, I am called to forgive myself and own up to my errors.

When I turn within to my Higher Self and to God, I become aware that I am worthy no matter what. I stand humbled to know that others can and will come forth to do what needs to be done. I do not need to feel obliged to do it all.  – Rev. Peggy Konkel

Contemplation Day37

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 37

God is a meticulous dock maker. So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time — neither a minute late nor a minute early. And for everyone without exception, the clock works accurately. For each, there is a time to love and a time to die.”

*

Today we affirm: I live a life of vibrancy and joy. 

Today’s rule is so ‘precise’ again. Whatever I experience at any given moment in time is in perfect order, or in Divine Order. Only attitude makes it hard. When in apathy for example, though it maybe hard to see, it is simply a choice that we make in response to what is happening in our lives.

If we could just move into the flow of life allowing it to bring forth the different experiences we ‘need’ to have, they would pass quicker and we could move to greener pastures. But because we fight life by placing ‘judgements’ and ‘attitudes’ on our life experiences, we are actually holding onto things we do not want. 

When I am upset about an experience I am having, by being upset about it, I am actually lengthening the time, this experience is staying in my life by keep on feeding this experience with a ‘negative attitude’ (anger). 

Every moment offers a choice. The best choice however is knowing that all is OK, and by not resisting what is going on in our lives, we actually let it pass quicker.

Today, we are releasing apathy and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release apathy because it derives us of the ability to see the beauty before us or feel the love shown to us. We feel separate and alone. Reconnecting with life can seem hard work and may to come quickly.

Yet, we must remember that the Divine Presence is everywhere present, even in our apathy.  We are not to fight it but move through it. We are not to judge it but move though it. We must stay willing to get to the other side by questing for faith and being willing to engage with life again. 

Sufi mystic and poet Rumi – the Lover of Life and God – reminds us to live each moment to the fullest, with an open heart, despite the circumstance. A Persian poet, scholar and theologian whose works have become popular worldwide for their spiritual and mystical insights, Rumi’s words of wisdom are timeless and can help us navigate the complexities of life with greater understanding and compassion.

Contemplation Day36

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 36

This World is erected upon the principle of reciprocity. Neither a drop of kindness nor a speck of evil will remain unreciprocated. For not the plots, deceptions, or tricks of other people. If somebody is setting a trap, remember, so is God. He is the biggest plotter. Not even a leaf stirs outside God’s Knowledge. Simply and wholeheartedly believe in that. Whatever God does, He does it beautifully.”

*

Today we affirm: The fear of lack has no power over me.
I am blessed.

Rumi Quote: “Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the ...

Fear of lack is a ‘biggie’ for most of us. It is for me. The world teaches us competing to gain the upper hand, so to get more of the limited resources available to us. It is so easy to buy into this belief.  By being grateful however we can ‘contra-act’ to this belief. As I move my attention from lack to gratitude for everything, I release myself from the prison of worry created by lack-thinking. 

This World is erected upon the principle of reciprocity. Neither a drop of kindness nor a speck of evil will remain unreciprocated. Rule 36

So, the more I focus into Gratitude, the more I move into reciprocating Gratitude.

Today, we are releasing fear of lack and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the fear of lack knowing that there is more than enough for everyone, me and you included.

There is no room for thoughts of lack in my consciousness. There is endless possibility within me and I want to see that manifest. I open my inner eyes and mind to tap into this good, and I demonstrate abundance in my life, world, and
affairs now.

As I affirm that I am blessed, I move into the knowing that ‘what is for me, will not pass me’. I focus on the abundant experiences, I blessed with, with Gratitude in my heart.

Rumi Quote: “Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the ... 

Today we affirm: The fear of lack has no power over me.
I am blessed.

Contemplation Day35

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 35

In this World, it is not similarities or regularities that take us a step forward, but blunt opposites. And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Until the day one reaches the stage of Insane-I Kamil, the perfect human being, faith is a gradual process and one that necessitates its seeming opposite: disbelief.

*

Today we affirm: I replace bitterness with betterment

And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Rule 35

It is the same with everything. There is two side to each coin. Where there is bitterness, there is betterment as well. The believer must meet both. We live in a world of duality and until we reach stage of Insane-I Kamil, the perfect human being, we are evolving through realizing and embracing it all.

When we say in Unity, that we release something, it does not mean that we reject it. Though we use the word ‘denial’, we do not mean that we deny the existence of something. We simply state there there is another side to the coin that we want to bring forward and we release ‘experiencing’ what does not serve us. 

Everything, night and day, good or bad, health and illness exist in our world of duality. We simply strive to move higher into greater Oneness with the Divine, leaving duality behind.

Today, we are releasing bitterness and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release bitterness because there is no good reason for doing this. Not even righteous indignation merits retaining bitterness. Bitterness maintained means refusing to unshoulder a useless, debilitating burden. Until we drop the burden, betterment is blocked.

We feel lighter the moment we choose to let go of bitterness. No longer are we mistreating ourselves with the heavy burden we created. Rev Michael Jamison

As we realize that we are alone punishing ourselves by retaining what harms us and now we can evict it.

See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and through it many become defiled. Hebrews 12:15

Today we affirm: I replace bitterness with betterment

Contemplation Day34

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 34

Submission does not mean being weak or passive. It leads to neither fatalism nor capitulation — just the opposite. Real power resides in submission, a power that comes within. Those who submit to the divine essence of life will live in unperturbed tranquility and peace even the whole full World goes through turbulence after turbulence.

*

Today we affirm: In the middle of chaos, by the power of my
Spirit, I declare: “Let there be light.

Everyday life surrounds us in a swirling chaos, and it’s easy to fall into the grip of our ego’s fears and confusion. Remind yourself each day of your intentions and spiritual purpose. Meditate, find your center, look closely at yourself, and don’t let go of your intention until it feels centered inside yourself. Deepak Chopra

 

Those who submit to the divine essence of life will live in unperturbed tranquility and peace even the whole full World goes through turbulence after turbulence. Rule 34 

Well, not sure what else to say. There is only one way out of the chaos through meditation and connecting with the Divine Presence in the Silence. 

I have a lot of chaos in my life. I live an overwhelmingly complex life with many challenges and little time for God. The chaos is in my head. I let the world dictate what I should think about myself and and how to meet my needs.

Today, I am releasing all chaotic thoughts and emotions into the nothingness asking for Divine intervention and guidance, so I can live and more peaceful and aligned life. Thank you.

Today, we are releasing chaos and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to realize that chaos in our lives is the result of our thinking. When facing chaos in our lives, it is necessary to review our thoughts and feelings. if they are not in agreement with the greatest desires in our hearts, we need to change those thoughts and feelings that caused and empowered the chaos.

Our Lent booklet invites us to look for the blessings in the chaos in our life; accept the opportunity it is giving us to be transformed. 

What blessings and learnings are there in your personal chaos? 

I really love today’s affirmation. Such a lovely invitation to connect with the indwelling Spirit and bring the Light forth by affirming : Let there be light!

Today we affirm: In the middle of chaos, by the power of my
Spirit, I declare: “Let there be light.”

Contemplation Day33

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 33

While everyone in this World strives to get somewhere and become someone, only to leave it all behind after death, you aim for the highest stage of nothingness. Live this life as light and empty as the number zero. We are no different from a pot. It is not the decorations outside, but the emptiness inside that holds us straight. Just like that, it is not what we aspire to achieve but the consciousness of nothingness that keeps us going.”

*

Today we affirm:  I release my need to be right

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.  Lao Tzu

Live this life as light and empty as the number zero. … It is not the decorations outside, but the emptiness inside that holds us straight. … Just like that, it is not what we aspire to achieve but the consciousness of nothingness that keeps us going. Rule 33

Today’s rule reminded me again of the importance of ’emptiness’.  I have been told many times that the spiritual journey is mostly about unlearning and releasing. This Lenten Season – all Lenten Seasons – is a great opportunity to unlearn and let go.

This emptiness however does not give me a sense of ‘hunger’ but rather a sense of calmness. The less I strive to become someone or do something ‘great’, the more contented and at peace I feel. The world only offers me some temporary pleasures most of which I can live without. I am recognizing simple pleasures that are unattached from worldly neediness. Gardening for one. 

Buddhists believe that true happiness comes with complete detachment. The moment when we stop striving and needing, we arrive to a peaceful place of nothingness. The consciousness of nothingness provides me with with a sense of joy, peace, and satisfaction knowing that all I need to do with ‘flow with Spirit’. 

Though it sounds mystical, it is actually rather practical. Flowing with Spirit means staying aware of the present moment, engaging with what’s in front of me, and being contented with a ‘good day’s work’ just as it has been.

Today, we are releasing being right and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the need to be right. Rev Ellen Debenport invites us to consider Jesus’ example when he is faced with Herod and Pilate. Jesus never explains himself or claims to be right. He always claimed to be a messenger but not the source of ‘all knowing’.

Often, it seems to me, that when we strongly believe in something we want everyone to believe in the same thing, partly to have company, partly because we want others to be happy. However, we often go about it in a way that we appear to be a ‘know it all’ or someone who is ‘right’. That is when arguments usually start.

Looking at Jesus’ example we can see that when we are firmly planted in a belief we neither need company, nor would we want to be right.

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.  Lao Tzu

Today we affirm:  I release my need to be right

Contemplation Day32

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 32

Nothing should stand between you and God. No imams, priests, rabbis, or any other custodians of moral or religious leadership. Not spiritual masters and not even your faith. Believe in your values and your rules, but never lord them over others. If you keep breaking other people’s hearts, whatever religious duty you perform is no good. Stay away from all sorts of worship, for they will blur your vision. Let God and only God be your guide. Learn the Truth, my friend, but be careful not to make a fetish out of your truths.”

Today we affirm: Collaborating with the Divine, my heart’s desires are fulfilled

Nothing should stand between you and God. No imams, priests, rabbis, or any other custodians of moral or religious leadership. Not spiritual masters and not even your faith … Stay away from all sorts of worship, for they will blur your vision. … Let God and only God be your guide. Rule 32

Today’s rule has always been my guide. The very reason I could not join any religious orders was this very rule. I have always been looking for a relationship with the Divine without others telling me ‘what’ or ‘who’ the Divine is.

I have nothing against any organised religions. I believe that they all serve a purpose. We join religious or spiritual organisations because we find our values matched there. This is how it should be. 

Not letting  anything stand between me and God is another matter. I believe that the reason why we are not enlightened beings, myself included, is because there are numerous things standing between me and God. Many things that we are practising to let go of during this Lenten Season are among them.

Today, we are releasing competitiveness and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release competitiveness by reminding us of a great story from the Bible, the story of Jacob. Jacob was in constant competition with his brother Esau so much so that eventually he had to leave his home because Esau threatened to kill him. Learn more about their story from these two videos below:

We all a competitive streak in us. We are raised to look at the other so to see how valuable or worthy we are. At the same time, competitiveness can inspire us to challenge ourselves to do better, to evolve.

Admitting to the unhealthy way we express our competitiveness, we become like Jacob who lay his head upon a stone and dreamt of a stairway to heaven. As we release an aspect of ourselves that stands in opposition to others, grace reveals the steps to fulfilling the truest desire of our hearts: collaboration.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4

Today we affirm:  Collaborating with the Divine, my heart’s desires are fulfilled

Contemplation Day31

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 31

If you want to strengthen your faith, you will need to soften inside. For your faith to be rock solid, your heart needs to be as soft as a feather. Through an illness, accident, loss, or fright, one way or another, we are all faced with incidents that teach us how to become less selfish and judgmental and more compassionate and generous. Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming even harsher than before.

Today we affirm:  I am safe and secure in God.

Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming even harsher than before. Rule 31

Once again, I find a strong relationship between today’s Lent message and affirmation and rule. When I way very young, I was playful, fun-loving, funny, bright and curious. Soon,  I learnt that the wold I lived in was cruel and vindictive. So, I changed.   I was so scared of the world around me that I chose to become harsh, judgmental and a fighter. 

During my journey of ‘becoming’, I slowly, slowly becoming milder, kinder and more compassionate. It has been challenging because when I look around I see how groups of people keep on choosing to become harsher and more cruel as a result of challenges, disagreements, differences, etc.

Everyday, I pray that we can start to see that harshness and cruelty only creates more pain because our true nature, our essence is Love which is kindness and compassion.

Today, we are releasing insecurity and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release our sense of insecurity by contemplating our Divine Nature. As we recognize the Spirit of God as our true source of power, we immediately feel safe and secure. 

Nothing and no one has power over us. We are all grounded and centered in the Divine Presence as long as we choose that. By choosing, we plant our faith in something greater than ourselves who loves and cares for us. I call that greater presence the Divine or God. 

Today we affirm:  I am safe and secure in God.

Contemplation Day30

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 30

The true Sufi is such that even when he is unjustly accused, attacked and condemned from all sides, he patiently endures, uttering not a single bad word about any of his critics. A Sufi never apportions blame. How can there be opponents or rivals or even “others” when there is no “self” in the first place? How can there be anyone to blame when there is only One?

Today we affirm: I see with divine eyes; grace fills my days and prospers my struggles

The true Sufi is such that even when he is unjustly accused, attacked and condemned from all sides, he patiently endures, uttering not a single bad word about any of his critics. A Sufi never apportions blame. Rule30
 

I see a deep relationship between ‘struggles’ and today’s rule. It seems to me that we often struggle because ‘judge’ what’s in front of us as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. In my experience struggle starts when I decide that something does not work. Every time when I want something but it is not happening or at times when I don’t want something and it keeps on popping up, I move into ‘struggle mode’. I either struggle to get something or struggle to avoid something. 

I don’t think we need to struggle. Challenges are good, we develop character through being outside of our comfort zone, but struggle is a kind of attitude. Struggle is similar to ‘drama’, to me. As I struggle, I try to manipulate my environment to help me or God to provide me with what I want. Very tricky!

If I could move into neutrality, like a Sufi, into a ‘mode’ of total acceptance of what is, regardless of circumstances, I would surly stop struggling. I would just go with the flow. I would just keep on embracing each moment with what it brings. It is a huge learning for me!

Today, we are releasing struggle and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the idea of struggle. What struggle is, in fact, the forging of our physical strength and the correction in our spiritual evolution.  Rev Ken Daigle

The best analogy for such a ‘struggle’ is the butterfly’s emergence from the chrysalis. The butterfly cannot take flight until releasing the cocoon and leaving it behind. in moments of struggle, we can remember that each instance involves a breaking free and renewing.

Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope … because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.Romans 5:3-5

Contemplation Day29

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 29

Destiny doesn’t mean that your life has been strictly predetermined. Therefore, to leave everything to fate and to not actively contribute to the music of the universe is a sign of sheer ignorance. The music of the world is all-pervading, and it is composed of 40 different levels. Your destiny is the level where you play your tune. You might not change your instrument, but how well to play is entirely in your hands.”

*

Today we affirm: I joyfully and fearlessly love with abandon.

Today’s Rule reminded me of ‘free will’. I grew up with victims who installed victimhood in me. I played the victim most of my life. I believed that my life was pre-destined until I knew better. I still find myself sometimes playing the victim where I feel that I don’t have a choice. Then I remind myself that I always have a choice. I may not have a choice in changing the my circumstances at the present moment but I do have a choice in how I am participating. 

The Bible verses below exemplify just that. The more I am aligned with the Divine Presence the less I feel a victim. I can see every event whether I like it or not personally, as an unfolding of something bigger, greater … the unfolding my own Life with all its mystery and uniqueness. Likes and dislikes are momentary, but the mystery of Life is constant and so exciting.

 
 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Proverbs 16:9  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16-17 
 
The music of the world is all-pervading, and it is composed of 40 different levels. Your destiny is the level where you play your tune. You might not change your instrument, but how well to play is entirely in your hands. Rule 29

You might not change your instrument, but how well to play is entirely in your hands.”

Today, we are releasing loneliness and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release

Random feelings of loneliness have washed over me while dancing to a favorite song in a crowded arena, sharing birthday cake with friends, or walking alone on a moonlit night. They are like waves crashing down in my consciousness, pulling my
attention to thoughts and feelings that I am unworthy, unloved, and unlovable.  Rev. Todd Humphrey

It seems to me that Rev Todd’s sharing is a universal feeling. Everyone feels lonely at times. However, that loneliness stems in a misguided idea or though based on feeling abandoned or misunderstood.

However, the truth is that we are never alone. The Divine walks with us every moment of our existence from birth to death. Each time we sense loneliness, we can choose to turn within and connect to God. 

“There is a loneliness more precious than life. There is a freedom more precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God.”  Rumi

Today we affirm: I joyfully and fearlessly love with abandon.

Note : My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak (See more about the book here (click)  ( and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Let go, Let God – Lent 2024′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

Contemplation Day28

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 28

The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The World does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead, time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment.”

*

Today we affirm: I find lessons and blessings in whatever is happening.

What if we were fully committed to living from universal principles and walking our talk of practical spirituality? What if instead of fighting what is in front of us, we center ourselves in the Divine Presence and face the music?

Whatever we find in front of ourselves, we have manifested that. Taking responsibility for our experiences is probably the hardest lesson to learn. From childhood we are taught to be victims of our circumstances and with that we keep on generating those experiences until we stop and face the music. 

If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment. Rule 28

It took me a long (looooooong) time to realize the difference between taking responsibility and being controlling. When I am controlling, I am not in the present and I don’t feel illuminated at all. I focus on what I want and put all my efforts in MAKING SURE that that’s what’s going to happen.

Taking responsibility is stepping back, meditating, allowing life to bring me the experiences that I inherently hold within myself because of the energies I hold in myself. When the experiences arrive, I look at them, deal with them, then go into meditation and release them so new (hopefully even nicer) experiences can come forth. 

This is what release and embrace is all about!

Today, we are releasing discouragement and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release discouragement even in moments when life throws curve-balls at us. 

What if we were fully committed to living from universal principles and walking our talk of practical spirituality? What if instead of fighting what is in front of us, we center ourselves in the Divine Presence and face the music?

The key is surrender. What we can embrace, we can face. We rest in the assurance that wherever we find ourselves, the Divine is in there too. Instead of asking why, we can ask ‘what is in there for me?’ 

As we turn within, we are presented with the lesson with all its blessings.

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8

Today we affirm: I find lessons and blessings in whatever is happening.

Contemplation Day27

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 27

Whatever you speak, good or evil, will somehow come back to you. Therefore, if there is someone who harbors ill thoughts about you, saying similarly bad things about him will only make matters worse. You will be locked in a vicious circle of malevolent energy. Instead, for forty days and nights, say and think beautiful things about that person. Everything will be different at the end of 40 days because you will be different inside.”

*

Today we affirm: I first look for the good (God) in everyone and everything

Whatever you speak, good or evil, will somehow come back to you. Therefore, if there is someone who harbors ill thoughts about you, saying similarly bad things about him will only make matters worse. You will be locked in a vicious circle of malevolent energy. Instead, for forty days and nights, say and think beautiful things about that person. Everything will be different at the end of 40 days because you will be different inside. Rule27
 

Today, the rule speaks for itself (again). I can give you numerous examples of the above but I am sure you have your own example.

The one thing that come to mind to share is the importance of awareness or insight. Most often than not,  we do not even realize that we speak ‘evil’ because we live in the world of our Ego. And the Ego is often hurt by what others say or do. When that happens, the hurt Ego moves into ‘revenge’ mode and starts either gossiping about or blaming the ‘culprit’. But if we learn to stay present …

Have you seen the film? If you stay present, life appears in slow-motion mode and you can observe what you are doing and what others are doing. You are constantly aware of what is happening in you, with you and with others. In mid air, you can change the way you speak from ‘evil’ to ‘good’ by moving back into neutrality or the Loving.

Today, we are releasing criticism and embracing God’s Love for us.

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release critical thoughts by recognizing the good that is right in front of us.

We must also remember that what we see in others is somewhat – no exactly – a reflection of what is occurring within ourselves. It is wise to investigate what triggers the criticism within ourselves before we offer ‘constructive criticism’ of another. Discover the negative residing within your own consciousness and then replace it with a loving attitude; both towards yourself and the other.

Contemplation Day26

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 26

The universe is one being. Everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation. Do no harm — practice compassion. And do not gossip behind anyone’s back — not even a seemingly innocent remark! The words that come out of our mouths do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space and they will come back to us in due time. One man’s pain will hurt us all. One man’s joy will make everyone smile.”

*

Today we affirm: I have faith in the power that is vested in me.

 

OMG! This rule is so wonderful and so, so difficult to follow! I keep on catching myself puffing and huffing about something or someone. Every time, I feel that I cannot resolve a situation or I cannot rebalance my relationship with someone, I find myself having this inner conversation with myself in which I fume about what happened or about the other person’s behaviour or words.

Unfortunately, my ‘unforgiving attitude’ and ‘faulty-party-seeking’ inner monologue adds to the ‘negativity’ that we all generate. In my observation, humanity is pretty good at ‘hating each other’ on an international scale. I am talking about critical mass here, not everyone. We focus mostly on what we do not like about the another person so to save face. I am just the same.

It takes me considerable effort to catch these automatic thoughts, erase them and generate ‘enough’ positive thoughts so to rebalance all the condemning thoughts I put out. 

 
The words that come out of our mouths do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space and they will come back to us in due time. One man’s pain will hurt us all. One man’s joy will make everyone smile. Rule 26

That is why I love doing this 40-day journey. It reminds me daily to keep on letting go of what does not generate good or loving in the world and it keeps on guiding me back to present moment, to the Loving, to the Goodness, to be compassionate.

Today, we are releasing FEAR and embracing FAITH. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release fear which is the ultimate iron door between us and God’s Loving Embrace.

 

Jesus Walks on the Water

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”  Matt 14:22-31 Source

In this parable, we learn about the difference between Love and Fear. Peter falls because he gets scared of the wind. Peter’s action represents a part of our consciousness who is like a fawn; it gets scared of the slightest of wind. At the beginning, as Peter gets out of the boat, he confidently walks on water. This deed represents a part of our consciousness – sometimes called the higher self – who is in constant connection with Spirit, who is in Faith and complete Trust with the Divine.

When we focus into fear – we watch the news that scares us or listen to others’ worries and moaning – we are prone to fall. As long as, we focus into the Loving, into the Divine Presence, we ‘can walk on water’: Life becomes like shimmering water and we can walk on it with ease-and-grace.

Today we affirm: I have faith in the power that is vested in me.

Contemplation Day25

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 25

Each reader comprehends the Holy Qur’an on a different level of tandem with the depth of his understanding. There are four levels of insight. The first level is the outer meaning, and it is the one that the majority of the people are content with. Next is the Batin — the inner level. Third, there is the innermost of the internal. And the fourth level is so deep it cannot be put into words and is, therefore, bound to remain indescribable.”

*

Today we affirm: I release worry and I guide my thoughts toward the good I wish to see made manifest.

Let go of your worries

Let go of your worries
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself
and see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:
the heart conceals secrets,
while the mirror does not.

 
Today’s rule talks about different levels of understanding of our experiences and our entire universe both inside and out. 
 
I decided to contemplate on Rumi’s poem today and see if these four layers of ‘understanding’ are revealed to me.
 
since most of it is unspeakable, I will keep the awareness and insight to myself, this time.
 
I hope you had fun discovering the different layers of insight today.

Today, we are releasing worry and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release our worry-thoughts by realizing that we are using our power of imagination to envision the worst possible outcomes. We can make a different choice and use the power of our imagination to envision a story wit the best outcomes. 

We remember today, that any story about the future is fabricated by our own imagination. By letting go of worry we allow a an uplifting and brighter story to be made manifest.

And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? Luke 12:25

Today we affirm: I release worry and I guide my thoughts toward the good I wish to see made manifest

Contemplation Day24

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 24

Hell is in the here and now. So is heaven. Quit worrying about hell or dreaming about heaven, as they are both presents inside this very moment. Every time we fall in Love, we ascend to heaven. Every time we hate, envy, or fight someone, we tumble straight into the fires of hell.”

*

Today we affirm: I am centered in divine wisdom and my way is clear.

Clarity comes with being present in the moment and being aligned with with our higher nature and the Divine Presence.

Every time we fall in Love, we ascend to heaven. Every time we hate, envy, or fight someone, we tumble straight into the fires of hell. Rule24

In my experience, I get confused, I lose my way when I am lost in different agendas; when I am angry or upset or overthinking something.
 
And when that happens I am in Hell. Confusion is the result of me focusing downwards into the pit hole of hell.
 
As soon as, however, I lift my head up, close my eyes, start watching my breath – mindfulness technique – I turn in and up, I align myself with my higher nature and the Divine. I enter a Loving place, Heaven, and I become clear and relaxed. I feel guided by universal wisdom and kindness.

Today, we are releasing indecision and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release indecision, a notion that makes us believe that our way may not be clear and we are lost  in the innumerable choices.

However, we have access to the wisdom of the ages within us. As we become still and focus into the Divine Presence, as we allow manic thoughts to settle and let go of our inner struggle, Divine Wisdom reveal the way forward and we are assured clarity.

Warning – the guidance we are revealed may not be what we expect it to be! As long as we attuned and we establish an inner awareness of the Divine guide within, we will be guided through the hurdles.

But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33

Today we affirm: I am centered in divine wisdom and my way is clear.

Contemplation Day23

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 23

The human being has a unique place among God’s creation. “I breathed into him of My Spirit,” God says. Each one of us without exception is designed to be God’s delegate on earth. Ask yourself, just how often do you behave like a delegate, if you ever do so? Remember, it falls upon each of us to discover the divine spirit inside and live by it.

*

Today we affirm: I am always one with Spirit, in darkness and in light

Each one of us without exception is designed to be God’s delegate on earth. … Remember, it falls upon each of us to discover the divine spirit inside and live by it. Rule 23

In my experience, darkness is a state of mind. Darkness is when I am lost in my petty errors, my anger, my frustration and blame other or God for the feeling of discomfort that comes with these experiences.

Yesterday, I had a great lesson in choosing to be in darkness or moving out into the light – shifting my consciousness from victimhood and blame to forgiveness and acceptance. 

It all started with me being with my father and my brother for not having checked my car, particularly the oil level in the engine. Then, I took off. While driving, I was still fuming with anger about my family’s behaviour, how unsupportive then are … and on … and on …

Luckily, I stopped 35 kilometers later to buy something to eat. The engine was smoking.  As I opened the hood, I realized that I had forgotten to put the cap back on the oil tank and now the oil had slashed all over the engine and the inside of the hood. I was so angry, I felt desperate, I felt let down, I was a victim.

I called my brother to tell me what to do who explained that all I needed to do was to clean off the oil, make sure that there is still enough oil in the engine. I spent an hour cleaning the engine and sending photos to my brother who eventually said that it looks clean enough so I can get back onto the road. About 30 minutes later, my mum called checking on me if I was OK, and the car was OK … 

As I was driving I heard Spirit asking me if I knew what was going on, if I were at all aware how I had generated this experience for myself, if I knew what the lessons was. As I was dismissing ‘Him’, ‘He’ turned serious and said: It must stop, now! Your must stop having expectations on people. You must stop having demands on people.  If you feel lost or alone, ask for support and wait until it arrives and do what you can in the meantime. It is time to accept people as they are, for what they can or cannot offer.

As I was moving out of my self-generated darkness, I remembered today’s rule, ‘everyone is God’s delegate on earth‘, everyone is ‘perfect’ as they are. ‘disrespecting differences and imposing your thoughts on others is tantamount to disrespecting God’s holy scheme.” Rule20 

It is all about respect …

Today, we are releasing darkness and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the fear of darkness. In the world of duality, darkness has a distinct purpose. As we let go of the fear and trust the one power, Spirit, we can realise that there is no difference between dark and light, it is simply two sides of the same coin. Darkness is an essential part of life during which we recuperate, gather strength and transform. Similar to a caterpillar as it transforms into a butterfly.

Today we affirm: I am always one with Spirit,
in darkness and in light

Contemplation Day22

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 22

“Life is a temporary loan, and this World is nothing but a sketchy imitation of Reality. Only children would mistake a toy for the real thing. And yet human beings either become infatuated with the toy or disrespectfully break it and throw it aside. In this life, stay away from all kinds of extremities, for they will destroy your inner balance. Sufis do not go to extremes. A Sufi always remains mild and moderate.”

*

Today we affirm: I give myself grace with my mistakes,
and I make progress.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection. Michelangelo

In this life, stay away from all kinds of extremities, for they will destroy your inner balance. Sufis do not go to extremes. A Sufi always remains mild and moderate. Rule 22

Just perfect! 🙂 Perfection is an extremity that cannot be achieved in the physical. There is only one perfection which is Divine Perfection.

There were times, often in the past, when attempted to perfect everything by controlling how others approached a task or by judging and condemning myself. Perfection or in my case, an attempt to do things the ‘right way’ caused so much anxiety that I was literally running on adrenalin, driving everyone crazy. 

Living in Divine Perfection means – to me – that I attempt to get out of the way 🙂 and allow the flow of Life to guide me, showing me what I need to do and what I shouldn’t do. 

Michelangelo is often quoted to say that he created David by chipping away all that was not David. This is how, in my understanding, Divine Perfection works: I simply do what is mine to do and allow the rest to emerge. Easier said than done, but I am working on it! 🙂

Rule 22

Today, we are releasing perfection and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release perfectionism that can prevent us from even starting on our goals because we are afraid that we will fail.

What we are after is progression, not perfection. As we start and make mistake we remind ourselves that we are simply progressing!

A sweet thought to remember: ‘I may not be perfect, but surely, I am complete!’

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection. Michelangelo

Today we affirm:  I give myself grace with my mistakes,
and I make progress.

Contemplation Day21

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 21

When a true lover of God goes into a tavern, the tavern becomes his chamber of prayer, but when a winebibber goes into the same chamber, it becomes his tavern. In everything we do, it is our hearts that make the difference, not our outer appearance. Sufis do not judge other people on how they look or who they are. When a Sufi stares at someone, he keeps both eyes closed, instead opens a third eye — the eye that sees the inner realm.”

*

Today we affirm: I am God’s beloved (I am one with the Divine Presence) and
powerful beyond measure.

When a true lover of God goes into a tavern, the tavern becomes his chamber of prayer, but when a winebibber goes into the same chamber, it becomes his tavern. … In everything we do, it is our hearts that make the difference, not our outer appearance. Rule 21

Our beliefs that we have observed through the day determine what kind of tavern we find ourselves in. 

Today, I spent time in observing my outdated beliefs. Every time I return to the land where I was born, I find myself in a tavern that is filled with a sense of threat, a feeling of gloom, anger, desperation, seasoned with a bout of self-sacrifice.  I cannot see anything uplifting, not because it does not exist but because this is how I am conditioned. 

I am prone to see ‘what does not work’ because this way I am prepared for the worst. It is some kind of valve or safety-measure inside of me: “just to be on the safe side’.  The belief that this place is unsafe and doomed is an outdated belief. Not only that, is is probably time to see things through the eye of the Lover; in my case, either though the lens of joyous excitement or through the lens of compassion.

Today, we are releasing outdated beliefs and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release outdated belief by accessing if the beliefs we hold were created in fear or in Love. 

The Lenten season is the perfect opportunity to breathe, reassess, pray, and let go of things that no longer serve. It’s a time to turn within and discern how the presence and power of God can express through us.

Today we can choose to put our faith in someone’s erroneous opinions or in our divinity.

Consider this Lenten False Belief Detox Program:
• Negative self-talk: If your self-talk makes you feel bad, deny
it, bless it, and release it.
• Media programs that instill fear: Ask the question, Is this of
Spirit? If not, change the channel.
• People: Do they uplift or tear down? Make a conscious
choice with whom to spend time.

These weeks before Easter are an energetic call to let go of any ideas that tell us we are less than Goodness.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. –  Buddha

Today we affirm: I am God’s beloved (I am one with the Divine Presence) and
powerful beyond measure.

Contemplation Day20

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 20

We were all created in His image, and yet we were each created different and unique. No two people are alike. No hearts beat to the same rhythm. If God had wanted everyone to be the same, He would have made it so. Therefore, disrespecting differences and imposing your thoughts on others is tantamount to disrespecting God’s holy scheme.”

*

Today we affirm: I release my preconceived beliefs to seek clarity and compassion.

Therefore, disrespecting differences and imposing your thoughts on others is tantamount to disrespecting God’s holy scheme. Rule 20

As I was contemplating the Rule20 and today’s Lent reading I realized that …

One of the greatest misunderstanding that I have witnessed within myself and others is the assumption that we think alike. We don’t. We are all uniquely geared and therefore has an individualistic view on everything that Life comprises. 

Assuming that ‘we understand each other’ is a mistake that often leads to hurt feelings and broken relationships.

When I was younger, I was convinced that it was my job to change people’s minds because they did not understand me. It took me quite a bit of soul-searching to accept and respect others’ views. Nobody knows it all. Learning to ask questions and actively listen to others is a gift in disguise. People have such amazing stories to tell. There is so much to learn from every conversation, as long as we are open to listen.

Today, we are releasing misunderstanding and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release misunderstanding that is often caused by childhood programing of what is right and what is wrong or what is favourable and what isn’t. This programming puts on a path of assumptions where no questions are asked. When we base our judgements of a situation or a person entirely on assumptions, we can end up with a lot of misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and confusion.

“If we could release our preconceived thoughts about situations, how much more love and compassion could flow freely into our lives?”

Today, we can stop before assuming and ask for clarification. Instead of confusion, we can increase our awareness and open our hearts to understanding.

If people misunderstand you, do not worry…it is your voice that they hear, but what goes through their mind is…their own thoughts. Rumi

Today we affirm:  I release my preconceived beliefs to seek clarity and compassion.

Contemplation Day19

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 19

Fret not where the road will take you. Instead concentrate on the first step. That is the hardest part and that is what you are responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Don’t go with the flow. Be the flow.“* 

*

Today we affirm: I release worry and control. I embrace trust and the knowing that all is well.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, … John 14:1

Today’s rule reminds us : “Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Don’t go with the flow. Be the flow.” 

I find it amazing how apt the Lent reading and the daily Rules are. <3 I think it is the hardest lessons of Life, trusting Life, that there is a greater plan than mine. Partly because of the chaos I grew up in, partly because of the lies of the regime, I became a major controller. I did not only control my life – or tried anyway – but that of others too. 

For the longest time, I believed that I was proactive, focused, resilient, and accountable, all the good stuff that coaching and personal development seminars/courses inspire you to do. I did not, however, notice that I was often going against the Flow of Life. My way or the high way, so to speak.  Later, I noticed, that  it was when I ran into a lot of issues. That’s when I thought that problems are there to be tackled. Until, I got really tired of fighting Life. I know better now! 🙂

Fighting life is the ultimate control of my will. 

According to a spiritual teaching in order to find true contentment, one must learn to enter the Flow of Life by releasing control. It is not the same as becoming a victim of circumstances. It is simply allowing Life to guide me to places where I can fulfill my nature and gain the most valuable experiences. I still have free-will that I can exercise: my attitude, the speed of my ‘flow’ are amongst the elements of my free will.

Honestly, it is still hard for me to ‘flow’ with Life. I am still learning to humble myself at the greatness and magnificence of the Divine Presence, that is the Flow itself. My  learning is respect: respecting Life, respecting myself, respecting others just as we all are.

Today, we are releasing worry and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release worry

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matt 6:25-27+34)

The key to letting go of worry, he taught, is to trust.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, … John 14:1

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give
to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled,
and do not let them be afraid” John 14:27

According to scripture, Jesus said these things just before he rode to Jerusalem where he was arrested at Gethsemane. We can look at this story and Jesus’ message as a call to learn to TRUST in the goodness of Life and the Divine presence. Jesus did not worry because he had total faith in God and his Life. He did not want to avoid being captured and crucified. He trusted God that his demise will be the ultimate message of trust, faith and Loving forgiveness. 

Faith and trust is giving up control over the outcome. This concept often seems alien to most people because we are often so scared of life’s mishaps that we feel that we must control as much of our environment as we can master.  But control is the opposite of trust and faith. Our personal will is blind and fear based. Trust and faith is Loved based, it is the knowing that whatever happens it is all OK, I am safe, I am held, I am Loved. No matter what. 

Today we affirm: I release worry and control. I embrace trust and the knowing that all is well.

Contemplation Day18

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 18

If you want to change the way others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses.“* 

*

Today I remember that  My authentic identity is love itself

With age showing up as little pains in the body, I can relate more to the fear of illnesses. I am also someone who is energetic, I consider myself physically strong and capable.  So, as soon as I get tired sooner than expected or I notice that it takes longer to bounce back form an illness, I find myself being worried.

Today’s affirmation reminded me that often my physical challenges are psychosomatic or reminders of something that is out of alignment within myself. So, by reminding myself that my true nature is Love and Health, so I need to find the reason behind my not feeling well or feeling tired or having an illness.

The above ties in nicely with today’s Rule which says “you should first change the way you treat yourself.” I notice that by taking better care of myself, noticing my being’s needs, taking the time and effort to rest and dwell in the Loving embrace of the Divine in meditation, and prioritising my life that way,  mean that I treat myself more lovingly. It is time to watch how I treat myself more closely!

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release fear of illness and know that life brings forward challenges that we can face knowing that we are never alone in the time of trials.

” Rather than becoming self-absorbed through fear of illness, choose to let go and be absorbed by the self, the infinite love that indwells you. You have a body; however, you are not your body.”

As we focus pray-fully into Oneness, we can release all our concerns and fears into the Source of All. In return, we receive peace and reassurance that all is well, and all is handled  with Grace.

Contemplation Day17

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 17

The whole universe is contained within a single human being — you. Everything that you see around, including the things that you might not be fond of and even the people you despise or abhor, is present within you in varying degrees. Therefore, do not look for Sheitan [“Devil” in Arabic] outside yourself, either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within, if you set to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness.“* 

*

Today’s affirmation:  I am present to each task of the day,
knowing everything is a choice.

Therefore, do not look for Sheitan [“Devil” in Arabic] outside yourself, either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within, if you set to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness. Rule 17

It has been hard for me to see this Truth for a long time. I grew up in a  culture where people firmly believe that all their troubles are generated by others and they are simply victims of their devilish wrongdoing.  So, I believed, too. 

It is just easier to see others as culprits than looking within and finding the dealignment and the blockages that we ourselves generate by our thinking and emotions. Have you heard the expression: “Change your mind, change your life?”

As I started to surrender to the idea that it is me who is creating my reality, I also got the opportunity to see what these blocks were. I started to notice beliefs that I picked up in my childhood that made me feel like a victim or that I had no choice.

Facing my personal little devils have not been easy, sometimes even painful, but at the end of the day, freedom is a choice – my choice.

Today, we are releasing busyness and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release busyness and start facing life’s questions. ” Action addiction is an advanced sort of laziness. It keeps us busily occupied with tasks. The busier we keep ourselves, the more we avoid being confronted with questions of life and death. As we keep ourselves occupied with tasks, important or not, we avoid facing life. We keep a safe and comfortable distance to the issues that are sometimes hard to look at. 

… I realized clearly that busyness is a choice. We may have deadlines, projects, and activities, but we have the freedom to choose whether we become action addicts or just observe the experience of many activities. It’s a choice. And the ability to make that choice comes from developing a clear mind, free of action addiction.”  (source)

From a Buddhist perspective, Your inner life is where you cultivate happiness. Busyness takes us away from cultivating inner life.

Today, I remember that with every inhale, peace flows through me. I have nowhere to go. I have the time and the confidence to accomplish what is mine to do.

“The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.” ― Thích Nhất Hạnh

Today we affirm: I am present to each task of the day,
knowing everything is a choice.

Contemplation Day16

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 16

Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.”* 

*

Today’s affirmation: I bless that which is behind me and praise
God for all that is beside me and before me.

When I let go of ‘what I am’, I become what I might be. Lao Tzu

You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart. Rule 16

As I was contemplating on Rule No16 and today’s Lent message, I realized that …

‘What I am’ is a part of me that I created in response to the toxic environment I grew up in. I appreciate this part of me because It help me survive. It is a strong, capable and forceful part of me who tackles challenges, stands strong and decisive.

However, I recently learnt that one of the crucial element of attaining Oneness is Surrender: surrendering the ‘protector’ (the Ego) by letting go of the past, the very reasons why this part of me was originally created. By doing that I purify me being; I allow my Soul to take command and to become what I might be. But above all I allow the Divine to now turn my Life towards more uplifting and Love-centered experiences.

Today, we are releasing the past and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the past.

We can cherish joyful memories but we must know that the past can hold us prisoner in often painful events that has long been gone. Rev Walker Douglas asks us:

Who would I be if I made the conscious choice to let go of thoughts, feelings, and memories of yesterday that no longer serve my highest good?

NOW is the time to accept the invitation to release the past and embrace the abundant future that lies ahead.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao Tzu

Today we affirm: I bless that which is behind me and praise
God for all that is beside me and before me.

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Let go, Let God – Lent 2024′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).

Contemplation Day15

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 15

It’s easy to love a perfect God, unblemished and infallible that He is. What is far more difficult is to love fellow human beings with all their imperfections and defects. Remember, one can only know what one is capable of loving. There is no wisdom without love. Unless we learn to love God’s creation, we can neither truly love nor truly know God.“* 

*

Today’s affirmation: I am not the person I was conditioned to be.
I live in the wild abandon of Spirit.

As I was contemplating on Rule No15 and today’s Lent message, I realized that …

Most of my life I looked at overwhelm as a result of other’s ‘behaving irresponsibly’ . I did not realize that I had been conditioned to become a carer. This conditioning and the underlying beliefs would attract ‘cases’ where my caring nature were required. Eventually, I resented the people whom I found ‘weak’ and in need of my support.

Through the rocky journey of self-discovery and spiritual unfoldment, I realized that nobody is at fault here. It is my responsibility to release and let of old beliefs that do not work for me. 

I am open to see God’s creation in everything and everyone now. 

What did you discover by contemplation on this rule and Lent reading?

in Loving and with many Blessings,
Rev Kudlik

Please note that though I may use ‘him’ or ‘his’ pronouns to talk about God/the Divine, it is only because the English language does not have a gender neutral pronoun. ‘They’ sounds odd to me to use and ‘it’ sounds lifeless.

Today, we are releasing overwhelm and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the expectations and demands our fast-paced world places on us.

” Whether we realise it or not, most of us create an identity and self value that is tied t working and doing. This creates the sense that there is never enough time, so we sacrifice rest and self-care to do more, be more, and get more. As a result, we may become sick, tired, frustrated, and overwhelmed. We create a disconnect from our authentic selves” . Rev Christina Garza

We liberate ourselves from pressure, perfectionism, paralysis and pain by turning our eyes to God within. Our spiritual inheritance is to be happy and free. As we release our faulty beliefs about our self-worth, we will attract what brings us joy.

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Today we affirm: I am not the person I was conditioned to be.
I live in the wild abandon of Spirit.

Contemplation Day14

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 14

God is busy with the completion of your work, both outwardly and inwardly. He is fully occupied with you. Every human being is a work in progress that is slowly but inexorably moving toward realization. We are each an unfinished work of art both waiting and striving to be completed. God deals with each of us separately because humanity is a fine art of skilled penmanship where every single dot is equally important for the entire picture.“*

*

Today’s affirmation: I reclaim my inner peace.

As I was contemplating on Rule No14 and today’s Lent message, I realized that …

I am not someone who holds grudges. At the same time, when I feel that a relationship holds more anguish that happiness, I let them go. When a relationship does not support me in becoming a better version of myself, I do not want that relationship any more. Not because the other person is at fault in any way,  because of my own inner peace.

I keep on reminding myself that every time I feel resentment surfacing towards someone who I perceived had done me wrong, I just let it go. I do not engage any more in the thought or the painful feelings because it does not change the past.

I may think that the other person’s behaviour or words were mean, unkind or even abusive, the fact is that I cannot change someone else’s mind. If they believe that their beliefs and actions are correct, it is not for me to judge them.

I have one choice to make in a situation like that is to love myself enough to say good-bye.

Every human being is a work in progress that is slowly but inexorably moving toward realization. We are each an unfinished work of art both waiting and striving to be completed.

Today’s rule fits beautifully with allowing myself and others to move in our own pace even if it means that we must walk separate roads.

40 days of Love, an Invitation

The world simply reflects our collective consciousness, our fears, our pains, our anger … whatever attitude we collectively – the critical mass – hold.

I look at the world, the turmoil, the wars, the bloodshed and I am saddened with the knowing that this all could be prevented if we just spent a little more time healing our own wounds instead of taking it out on others.

Walking this inner journey, that we often dread, is a great opportunity to release all those beliefs, patterns of thoughts and behaviours that do not serve us any more. As long as we can see them – be aware of them – we can consciously say good-bye to them. Until we suppress or hide them, they keep on popping up ruining our day, month, year … life. As we let go, we become freer, kinder, more accepting, happier … with our lives and others.

40-days of Love, Release and Embrace can be a great opportunity for you to turn gently within, discover the little gremlins and let them go.

Walk this 40-day journey with me and see if you can make some changes in your life – and that of others – by releasing what does not work and embracing what does.

Today, we are releasing grudges and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release hurt feelings created by others actions or words. We can look at grudges as heavy chains that bind us to the past and prevents us from living joyfully in the present. 

As we dissolve any bitterness or resentment we become freer. With each grudge we release, we make space for love, empathy, and understanding to come into our life in amazing ways. 

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another … Ephesians 4:32

Today we affirm: I reclaim my inner peace.
