41. Absolute positivity.

[Tony]

This is the moment of absolute positivity.

This is the only thing we can do as a group, and this includes all visitors. We all have different points of view, which of course reflects our individuality. So to sit round a table and wait to agree on who to complain to, and which building to march on or what colour the banner should be...this will never happen!

We all see, know, agree on the value of positivity. Now is the time to put all theories into action - or rather, 'non action'. This means not a speck of negativity to be written, spoken or thought of.
Our lives change now, this moment!

Like attracts like. Unconditional love is infectious.

Try it for one day. Observe everything, especially your motivations. It does not matter about one's status, education or capacity. Be generous, be patient, be disciplined, be at peace.

Do not turn the peace into something special, just be at peace. In fact, be ordinary. Mind open, not clinging to anything. Do what you have to do in the light of spaciousness. Unclutter life. If there are no hidden agendas, then there is nothing to defend. Be as an empty house: when the thief comes in, there is nothing there to protect.

Being positive is being unconditionally happy. Is that too much to ask?

Being unconditionally happy means not relying on any conditions. Let's take Alex Collier's words as 100% true, and see how this feels.

The trouble with conspiracies...they can take you over.

Be as you naturally are.

I got a little anecdote that might fit your idea. I worked for human rights 4 years in the amazonas jungle. I lived in Manacapuru most of my time and there was a non-official junkyard not very far from my little house. Most of the time, rats and urubus were everywhere over there. One day, a nurse was passing by and he noticed a very beautiful and rare flower growing right in the middle of the garbages :)

So, he went back home and came back with a small sign saying: 'don't hurt me' and he fixed the sign beside the flower. A couple days after, he noticed that some people had arranged the junkyard in some way to clean the area around the flower. That is when my dear friend, another nurse, came to my house and told me about it. We went there and I found it absolutly meaningful. So, we decided to do a little more cleaning around the flower.

To make a long story short, after some months, their was a couple of other flowers of the same kind growing not so far from the original flower. So, people were delicate and did a little more cleaning around the flowers :) And the sign was still there!

When I left Brazil in 1998, this place was no more of a junkyard, but a nice place where these flowers were growing freely. I just can't remember its name.

Anyway, your post made me think of it. :) Thank you!

Namaste, Steven

It can entirely change your perspective. I remember the first time I tried this, I told myself that every time I was temped to react or respond or reply negatively (or even have a negative thought) I instead had to smile. I had co-workers telling me they had never seen me smile so much before, ever :D Definitely told me something about myself.

oh Pie man you always start the best thread discussions that makes everyone sit back and think and realize the simple truths you are sharing...

I'm positive these are helping... ;)

[Tony]

Let's take it that we are infinite beings of light of infinite space.
( I don't actually know that, but that is the 5% trust I have. This might seem small, but that is the way it is. In spiritual teaching 75% you know, 25% is inference and 5% trust.)

So what happened to all that light and space?
Nothing. We just got too excited in it, and filled it up.
We make it all solid.
That excitement was the beginning of ego!

So that is why we are constantly reminded to, let go, rest, be at peace..... the purpose of meditation is freedom from all this and that.

Meditation is the tool in the beginning, middle and at the end. It only requires us to sit quietly and look deep inside ourselves. Just 20 minuets in the morning and 20 minuets in the evening, once you see the benefits I guarantee you that you will sit for an hour each time.

Very nice post sir. It reminds me as things get stirred up a calm head will prevail. The idea of thousands or people doing this non action type revolt in the face of impending doom is quite exciting as the survival of a fear based vibration is quite low and cannot survive in a state of peace. And in such a state I see the war "calmly" coming to an end. Grin.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST.
SOMETIMES WE NEED A LITTLE REMINDER TO STAY POSITIVE

Squeezing throughout the eye of the needle is painful but worthy. And once your through you can't help but assist your brother. As your frequency has changed everything it touches changes accordingly. Just knowing with an unshakable faith that bodies are temporary allows for another reality based on something that is eternal and therefore true. Wow!

Easy??? No I spent a good five years insane due to the nature of my recall, however I have a saying regarding my journey "I wouldn't wish what I went through On my worst enemy but I would recommend it for all my friends" and that's not to say it has to be that way, but changing your mind is no easy task.

Thanks again

Hey,

Through my own experiential learning and observing people around me, I have been trying to pin point exactly what the difference between "possitive" minded people and "negative" minded people actualy is, something tangable.

Yes, possitive minded people tend to be happier then negative minded people. But that doesn't pin point it enough to me. I would like to learn how this is.

If there is one thing I found in commen with all possitive people, it is this:

They look within, not outside of themselves.

What I mean by this is: when they are faced with any sort of problem in life and then determain causes to work out a solution, they look at what they could have done better, not what could have happened in other ways (blaming other people and circumstances beyond their own control)

So whats the significance of this observasion?

Well, is it possible that the reason they are happier in general, is because when they identify themselves as a cause of a problem, they are actualy able to do something about it. For if they are self-aware, they can change the way they behave, and therefore physically help towards fixing a cirtain problem.

Whereas a negative minded person blames everything around them, and for this reason is never able to do absolutly anything about it. (Unless getting angry at someone for doing somthing constitutes an actual solution.)

Now, admittedly, I dont know the real science behind this, yet, so I'm unsure wether or not happyness is the reason people think like this, or if thinking like this allows more happyness, if you know what I mean. Of course, for all I know this is a load of nonsence anyway, but I will be looking into it further, so time will tell.

I liked the original post and just wanted to add my own 2 pence.

Hello! Thanks for responding...what you said was much appreciated.

Our journey to unconditional happiness can take very strange routes. My personal one came through unhappiness and dissatisfaction - it was quite emotional - but when I was told by a lama that taking the steps to enlightenment involved intense intelligence, intense compassion and intense emotions, that flicked a switch for me. I no longer had to fear my emotions: they were very sharp indicators.

Being surrounded by "ha-ha laughing people" threw me for a while, because I wondered whether I too had to be like that - which did not suit my temperament.
Now I can say that I have empathy with so-called negative people and compassion for so-called happy people.
This is because neither state is absolutely true.

Happiness is an inner state that no outside force can disturb - and you have also realised that. Happy for no reason!

All the best
Tony
