The environment that surrounds us is the projection of ourselves. Dogs cannot contemplate the sunset, like humans. We, human beings, are able to appreciate art, poetry, literature, music, nature. And, we can only do that, because the sense of beauty is inside ourselves.
In the same way, we also have the sense of goodness when someone tells us a story of a good deed made by a person. Our hearts are filled with the idea of justice and goodness.
Our true nature is perfection and unity, and that is why we aim to reach this sense. The advertisement companies are aware of that, and that is why we are bombarded by commercials that show products and services associated with beautiful, happy, rich people. Then, we purchase those products because we are touched by the images.
If we did not have this sense of perfection inside ourselves, we would not be persuaded to search for the acquisition of perfection through the purchase of objects. However, despite the constant consumption of things it seems that this desire for perfection continues and it is insatiable. Why is the reason for that?
Our true nature is spirit, and all the qualities that we search - love, harmony, prosperity and others - have spiritual nature. We are convinced that all these qualities are outside us but this is not true. We were already born with all we need, and more we extract these qualities from ourselves to be shared with the world, more we maintain a joyful and happy life. We need to recognize more that we are perfect beings in essence. No matter how is the appearance of ourselves - if we feel unhappy, unlucky, unhealthy or unloved, we should not believe that this is our true nature. More we recognize that behind what our eyes see, there is a perfect real self that nobody around us knows yet, there is a well inside us with great qualities and infinite potential, more we can expand our capabilities and make us and others around us happy as well.
In the Canadian news this week, we hear sad stories about abusive relationships. In the end, this type of relationship there is no winner, no matter how are the consequences to the abusive person. The only way that someone can be removed from a sad past is not by acknowledging the bad person and the bad events, but by moving forward to where there is light.
We cannot make a dark room visible by bringing more darkness to it. Only if we bring light to the dark room then we can change the existent place into a brighter one. In the same way, we should cultivate thoughts of love, peace and harmony in our hearts, when we are filled with sadness and hatred. We should read inspiring books that brings us hope and happiness. We can lose material things in life, and we can always get them back; but we should not lose our spiritual self. It is important that we keep control of our mind and make ourselves the perfect being that we really are. Besides reading positive and inspiring books, it is important to practice meditation. This makes us connect with our perfect being and hear our inner voice which is the voice of the Grand Life (God).
Once we are fulfilled with the spiritual food by the 'light' coming from positive readings and meditation, we will face our daily life with optimism and hope, and all our decisions will be thoughtful and positive to everyone, because we will make our perfect self finally manifest in the way he or she is supposed to appear in this world.
