HAFIZ

In the name of utter joy 🙂

HAFIZ – THE GOLDEN COMPASS

Hafiz, the Golden Compass from I hear God laughing by Daniel Ladinsky

That everything, everything in existence
Does point to God.

Forget every idea of right and wrong
Any classroom ever taught you
Because
An empty heart, a tormented mind,
Unkindness, jealousy and fear
Are always the testimony
You have been completely fooled!
Turn your back on those
Who would imprison your wondrous spirit
With deceit and lies.
Come, join the honest company
Of the King’s beggars –
Those gamblers, scoundrels and divine clowns
and those astonishing fair courtesans
Who need Divine Love every night.
Come, join the courageous
Who have no choice
But to bet their entire world
That indeed,
Indeed, God is Real.
I will lead you into the Circle
Of the Beloved’s cunning thieves,
Those playful royal rogues,
The ones you can trust for true guidance –
Who can aid you
In this blessed Calamity of life.
Hafiz,
Look at the Perfect One at the circle’s center:
He spins and whirls like a Golden Compass,
Beyond all that is rational,
To show this dear world
That everything, everything in existence
Does point to God.

REVERENCE TIPS Day19

On this day of Advent,
I remember to live in joy.

Do you remember Joy, the ever buzzy and hyper blue-haired girl from INSIDE OUT? She is the epitome of exuberant joy!

“Do you ever look at someone and wonder, “What is going on inside their head?” 

Joy, Inside Out

As you can learn from the movie as well, Joy is a matter of choice just like any other feelings such as sadness, anger, or fear. Though we are not aware of it most of time because we are on auto-pilot most of the time when it comes to generating emotions, the truth of the matter is that we chose our emotional reactions to any situations. There are many great learned speakers out there who share about the mechanics of how that actually happens. I am not going to go into details right now.

I wish to share about entering a state of Joy. How? JOY taught me that you can take on the lenses of a wonderous child and chose to look at life from an angel of ‘that’s interesting!’. When people do things that I do not usually like, instead of judging it and making my way of doing things the right way, I simply state that ‘it is an interesting way’ of doing things and move on. Or, when someone is rude, I notice the fear behind their words and state that ‘it is an interesting way of responding’ then I move on. I am practicing turning it all on their good side. Why? Because there is a LOT that cannot be controlled in life so I’d simple better accept it as it is. I don’t have to like it, in most cases I don’t even have to live with it, nor do I need to judge it. I keep myself uplifted by staying observant and curious. I chose to find situations funny instead of annoying. It is simply a choice.

REVERENCE TIPS Day18

The Joy of Anticipation

Hm, I noticed that JOY and LOVE the last two themes of Advent are interchangeable. I chose JOY to be the theme of the 3rd week because I believe that LOVE overrides all other qualities of Spirit.

On this day of Advent,
I remember to savor the joy of anticipation.

I remember that when I was a child I so looked forward to Christmas. I was excited about the presents that I would receive, that many distant family members would visit and that we will have a noisy house for a few days. I loved that we spent days visiting different relatives, that we ate strange food that my mum never cooked and that I felt free to run rampant because everyone was too busy or drunk to notice.

Now, Christmas is a chore. I need to help out, cook, clean, buy presents and do other rather boring tasks. I do not look forward to Christmas any more because Christmas time became a consumer event and lost its magic for me.

Today, I was thinking that I would like to bring back the joy of anticipation into my Christmas time; anticipating peace by withdrawing from the world; anticipating more time for myself and sleeping more; anticipating doing activities that lift my Spirit and bring me joy.

REVERENCE TIPS Day4

What is Faith?

Faith it is NOT blind confidence in a God figure from whom we can expect great things to come! Faith is inner knowing!

I grew up with ‘seeing is believing’ and betrayal upon betrayal. If the communistic regime taught us anything it was how to distrust each other. We were literally expected to spy on each other. It was not a particularly positive way to inspire faith and trust in goodness.

My observations as a child taught me that God cannot not be human – a father figure – because most humans do not possess (have it but not act on it) the qualities of God according to spiritual scriptures such as Loving, Accepting, Forgiving, Embracing unconditionally, Joy and more.

Through my journey of self-discovery and spiritual-awakening, I understood that God is not a white-bearded man who magically delivers upon my wishes. But God resides within me. I am part of the Divine that is often called God.

Having Faith for me is knowing that there is goodness in everyone (everything), including myself, regardless of my actual experiences. I know that we, humans, are not capable of acting according to our God-given qualities because we are lost in the world of Fear (the Serpent/Kal/the Devill/Evil). Just because we are often not aware of it, it does not mean it is not there.

Having Faith in myself means that I know that I am inherently good, even when I cannot act accordingly. I am a Divine Spark and of Spirit having a human experience.

Needless to say that Faith requires persevere until we make connection with the higher realms of consciousness. It is only there where we can experience the blessings of the Divine presence and our own goodness.

“Nothing shall be impossible unto you” if your faith is in Spirit and if your work is in harmony with Divine Presence.

SUMMARY

Final chat and closing.

Intimacy vs Loneliness

In this podcast I talk about relationship patters and how true intimacy can be achieved and how to avoid being lonely in a relationships. I touch on being an odd ball and how we can handle being different and still being OK with it. I also go into details about relationship roles and how to change them. I call these Maverick Relationships.

Why is it so scary being yourself?

I am not sure exactly. But there is an element of unsafely in being true to ourselves that is almost inexplicable. The only way to notice this fear is to sit in the silence for a while and watch how the nerve-wracking inner tension caused by the world starts easing away.

The more I put myself out there with my little creative treasures, the more scary it gets. Being refused or rejected is not a great feeling but tolerable. However, for me, being ridiculed for my most precious gifts is heart-breaking.

We all have these little pearls of great price within us, the unique attributes of our soul.

As children, each time we were told off for having drawn on the wallpaper or on the furniture, or when we were punished to be too energetic and running around the house, or when we put into detention for chatting during the class with a classmate who needed our support, we learn that we are not OK as we are.

As a result of that, we start hiding our little precious treasures and start wearing a mask that reflects what the world around us wants to see us being. With that inner betrayal, we loose contact with ourselves and turn to the world for satisfaction and love.

When we take the courage to start turning within, first we must confront the pain of treachery. Not easy. Sometimes it takes years of forgiveness to release the pain caused by our disloyalty. And it is still not the end of the road.

As soon as, we regain our sense of true self, a trust issue starts emerging with an immense sense of fear saying ‘what if it happens again? What if you betray me again? How can I trust you again?’ Will you now stay by my values and needs or will you sell out again?’

This is the second leg of the journey, walking though the fires of fear.

Different is good

In this podcast I talk about how a genius, someone with a higher level of awareness, can make a positive difference in the life of those around him. (Read some information on the circumstance of this performance below.)

Some facts

One of the most widely-circulated links after Prince’s death was a video of his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

It sees Prince joining an all-star version of the Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps, backed by Tom Petty, Steve Winwood and George Harrison’s son, Dhani. He keeps to the sidelines until the final two minutes, when he steps forward to deliver one of the most breathtaking guitar solos you’ve ever seen, full of fluttering high notes and ringing harmonics.

Amazingly, Prince never rehearsed this moment with the band. At a run-through the night before it was Jeff Lynne’s guitarist, Marc Mann, who took the solo.

“Prince doesn’t say anything, just starts strumming, plays a few leads here and there, but for the most part, nothing memorable,” recalled Joel Gallen, who directed the ceremony.

But when the big moment came, Prince stole the show. At one point, he turned to face Petty and Harrison, then fell backwards into the audience – while still playing – before strutting off stage, throwing his guitar into the air before the song ended.

“You see me nodding at him, to say, ‘Go on, go on,'” Petty told the New York Times. “I remember I leaned out at him at one point and gave him a ‘This is going great!’ kind of look.

“He just burned it up. You could feel the electricity of ‘something really big’s going down here.'”

Prince later claimed he had never even heard the song before it was sent to him to learn for the performance.
