Matt Kahn’s “The Freedom of Love”

hq247-8ffed76d-9cfe-4686-a762-2e11d79c7e1e-v2“Love cannot be fit into any box of reason or understanding. It is the light of grace through which every soul is liberated from its self-imposed box of limiting reasons and self-defeating understandings. Love cannot accommodate the preferences of prisoners. It is simply too busy setting hearts free, so that all are free to love. “

Deepak Chopra about Love

81aaae230f368c0b898c13aa9815b456“The secret of attraction is to love yourself.  Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others.  They are open to gestures of love.  They think about love, and express their love in every action.  They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.”  Deepak Chopra

Be Free of Attachments

th-24“How can attachment bring us suffering?
We just have to think of chocolate and there is the temptation of eating more than is good for us. Or as example, my favorite story: the way people used to catch monkeys in South India:

One takes a coconut and makes a hole in it, just large enough that a monkey can squeeze its hand in. Next, tie the coconut down, and put a sweet inside. What happens next is pure attachment. The monkey smells the sweet, puts his hand into the coconut, grabs the sweet and … the hole is too small to let a fist out of the coconut. The last thing a monkey would consider is to let go of the sweet, so it is literally tied down by its own attachment. Often they only let go when they fall asleep or become unconscious because of exhaustion.

Ultimately, the Buddha explains that our attachment to life keeps us in cyclic existence or samsara, which does not bring us continuous happiness.”                            From – http://www.viewonbuddhism.org

Imagine Good Health

th-44“You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination,” Seth said.  “Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations.  You create your own difficulties. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health, or desperate loneliness, these will be automatically materialized.  For these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them reality in physical terms.  If you would have good health, then you must imagine this as vividly as in fear you imagine the opposite.”            The Seth Material by Jane Roberts, 1976, p.177

Allow Well Being

“Since every disease or unwanted condition exists because Well-Being is being disallowed, then, in the absence of that dis-allowance, Well-Being will return.

It is a common thing for people to begin to lean in the direction of recovery, only to stop and take score too soon. And when they still find unwanted symptoms or conditions, they then offer resistant thought and lose the improved ground they have gained. With consistent releasing of resistance, all unwanted conditions will subside, returning you to your natural state of Well-Being.”

Indigo Children – A definition and Facebook resource

10417466_839732399480403_3216301155918850492_nIndigo children – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  For the 2012 film, see Indigo Children (film).

Indigo children, according to a pseudoscientific New Age concept,[1] are children who are believed to possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.[2] They are sometimes also referred to as crystal children[3] or star children.[4] The idea is based on concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe[5] and further developed by Jan Tober and Lee Carroll. The concept of indigo children gained popular interest with the publication of a series of books in the late 1990s and the release of several films in the following decade. A variety of books, conferences and related materials have been created surrounding belief in the idea of indigo children and their nature and abilities. The interpretations of these beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution, in some cases possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy, to the belief that they are more empathetic and creative than their peers.

Although no scientific studies give credibility to the existence of indigo children or their traits, the phenomenon appeals to some parents whose children have been diagnosed with learning disabilities and to parents seeking to believe that their children are special. Critics view this as a way for parents to avoid considering pediatric treatment or a psychiatric diagnosis. The list of traits used to describe the children has also been criticized for being vague enough to be applied to almost anyone, a form of the Forer effect.
