Sorry, please excuse my bad spelling. I was out on the porch having my morning drugs when my toes froze. It's 27 degrees! Toes and mind, they're linked.
I have found that the less I try to get something from meditation, the more I actually benefit. For example, when I first started to meditate, I was doing it because I wanted to achieve something like a method for immediate relaxation. Now, I just try to focus on experiencing the Presence of stillness within me and let go of trying to get something in return out of meditating. This has actually lead to greater levels of peace.
And after practising the different levels of peace, one discovers what real meditation is: being in the present and allowing oneself, no matter what, to stay there.
After achieving that level, problems solve themselves and solutions arrive at ones 'doorstep' by themselves. And whether one has wealth without money or with money, that does not matter anymore, cause one has arrived at a natural wealth level that brings total peace in ones life.
Life is a process in growth, globally divided into four levels. If one is lucky enough to grow through those four levels, one finds everlasting peace, both inside and outside.
Dear Deepak,
I am of your generation, I found the truth by myself. But, I will forever be grateful for your beautiful affirmations in my life that have been a wonderful guide.
Thanks a lot, all the best and peace, within and withoug :)

I don't know why, I am not meditating like this post describes anymore, as I feel that I should start back into a better practice of higher consciousness, such as the "I AM," etc. to more fully connect to Spirit (i.e., to be more aware of my true Self & of God)...cuz I really need the guidance now, as I feel lost and confused.
Love, Char
Like I woke up with a sick stomach from fear yesterday and I could not get rid of it, as my landlord refused to return my deposit for no real reason except I did not have time to meet with him, as well as not wanting to further endure more of his nature. And my car insurance carrier is threatening to cancel due to me using a P.O. Box for an address. Today, in fear, I took most of my money out of the bank, so that no one could get at it. It does make me feel more secure at the moment, even tho Deepak and others say that change can be scary and we should find the opportunities in life's difficult times. This should be enough to push me to meditate at a higher level, as I deal with all these changes, while I hope for guidance in making the right decisions for myself and not just give up, even tho sometimes, I wonder if throwing the towel in (so-to-speak) might be the best thing....just don't know, but I am a survivor :-) and I feel that I must keep going. Surely, I hope I will move in the direction of wisdom. But being homeless is frightening and I keep meeting folks who have no place to go, as the sight of them scare me with thoughts of giving up and running home to mom's house. Oh, well....
Dear Char,
You must have volunteered for one of the tough missions. They wouldn’t have let you take the job if they didn’t have the knowing you could do it. You must really be something special. You know the new saying “life is a challenge fit for a God or Goddess.” There is some hidden insight in that thought.
Obviously if you are reading here at Intent Blog you have been initiated into the Divine Mysteries and the Great Truth. Everyone you meet, the universe has brought to you so you can be a witness to “the reality” and help dispel “the illusions” that imprison us.
Maybe you have a story to tell; not just your story but everyone’s; the people you meet, if you had a video camera you could capture it and upload it or send it here and I can do it for you. It might draw attention, and attention is worth more than it’s weight in gold and any golden light we can turn into “currency.” If you don’t have a video camera let everyone know so one can come to you.
As for the insurance company, it is unfortunate the extent of the ignorance and the desire to have all conform to the status quo requirements. You could always try a place like Mail Boxes Etc. they have joined forces with UPS by the way. They can give you a regular street like address allowing you to overcome the status quo requirements.
One would want to continue to pursue some type of regular employment of course; but there is something in the interim that could lead some where, if the impulse should arise to do it. This is not the only channel by the way.

In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, YouTube presents Project: Report, a journalism contest (made possible by Sony VAIO & Intel) intended for non-professional, aspiring journalists to tell stories that might not otherwise be told.

God is not as far away as some might think; there is a benevolent and mysterious force at work behind the scenes.

Dear Char,
What's wrong with mom's house? I stayed at my mom's after my girls moved out (after their high school). I figured what the heck? I was always over there running errnds and groceries and mowing the yard or shoveling snow or spring cleaning anyway and moving furniture. (My father had died years earlier.)
Just wondering. My mom doesn't drive. Maybe your's doesn't need the help. Hope you're ok, either way.

Dear Deepak,
Thanks for this. I look forward to the next segment. Your website keeps me enjoined in Right Minfulness, I have found, especially since I haven't the money to buy my SRF magazine. But I'll find it somehow soon.
A website is strange, I think, for Right Midfulness. What HATH God wrought.
