We start off,
It's just like a baby starts off fresh and lovely and then it starts to mature and picks up habits and then its character develops and depending on its friends and its environment the habits develop,
Good or not so good.
So we all start off with very very good energy,
Everyone,
Which is why Raj Yoga teaches us to see that everybody is a soul,
Everyone has that goodness inside and even if they're difficult to get on with or really really tough and you think oh my goodness it's because you know that inside there's goodness but it hasn't been able to surface and it's not easy for our goodness to resurface which is why we do meditation and when we do meditation slowly slowly we realize we do have these different qualities and the different qualities are the energy of our life which is peace,
Calm,
Steadiness,
Stillness,
Strength,
Love,
Caring for people,
Understanding people,
Joy,
Happiness,
Wisdom,
You get wisdom when you understand that there but for fortune you were also doing certain things and now you're a bit more calm not quite so worried a bit more understanding so there but for fortune so strength,
Determination,
Courage all come into it,
It's all in there but we cannot access it until we become calm.
It's interesting because today's life is to the front and all our worries and all our difficulties and all the things all the habits that we would like to be without but they're there and until I start to it's like when you learn to ride a bicycle you get stabilizers so when I start to develop the stabilizers then I can start to be calm,
Steady,
Understanding,
Teach myself that it's okay,
Teach myself to have courage,
Teach myself to keep being determined so all that goodness is within us and we are we actually are all the qualities that we're looking for that we're hoping to achieve we are those we just need to take time and bring them back again into our day into our life but they're there they belong to us our beauty lies within this eternal identity it's eternal so we all know that we don't live forever we live and take another birth and then we live and take another birth and then we live and take another birth that's what it means by eternal we continue forever and then we reach a point when we have to go home to the soul world why because the world is all set on making a huge carry on out there like war where everything will become impossible to be alive then but we're still alive as a soul and then when everything's okay again we pop back down and again we start to live our life and then we can only live a certain length of time as a physical body can't live too long you know it kind of wears out and so we take another one we born again as a baby and then we live that life and then this body gets tired and away we go again and we come back again as a baby so we're forever so these qualities in us are forever they're eternal when we talk about eternal so our beauty when we understand that it lies in this eternal identity so when we practice soul consciousness and Raj yoga Raj yoga meditation we can feel it we can start to feel the peace the calm the understanding the steadiness the reassurance that everything is actually okay everything is how it should be so when I practice this soul reality I can see my anxiety and sadness become softer and begin to melt away I'm not so worried I'm not quite so sad I understand I'm going through something but then I'll go through it and that's it I'm through I've gone through here I am I'm through this in now something else will come but I'll go through that as well because the soul is a tiny subtle point of living life energy and you are the soul a beautiful being a beautiful peaceful lovely energy if we look at some qualities that we're strong and we have loving energy and when we know this we're different when we interact with others we we use that energy to change ourselves and bring benefit to others and I constantly check myself and do my best not to get irritated to put the loving effort into whatever situation and to do that I'm changing myself instead of being annoyed I'm doing my best to bring peace and calm to to whoever's in front of me because they are agitated and they don't know maybe about meditation we become spiritual helpers Remembering taking just a minute I sit quietly and reflect on who I am who I really am I begin to remember begin to feel the original goodness an intrinsic positivity that somehow had been forgotten in the quietness remembering this original spiritual selfhood peace and respect begin to flow feeling restored rejuvenated I return recharged to the outer world of sound and action
