Weight is an indication of the frequency of our thoughts as far as time is concerned...

The world is the ultimate reflection of ourselves...

From the moment that we are born,
our inner world is exposed
to internal forces
that are always fighting against each other
in the internal battle of the good vs evil.


This battle governs our life on the whole.
The ultimate aim is to achieve balance and inner harmony.
And to accept that evil will always be there so as good.


The same battles coexist in the groups that we are part of
our family, our society, our country, our world...


When will this world find it's harmony?
When each individual will find his/her own personal harmony.
It's each individual's obligation and responsibility to do so.
By improving ourselves, we can improve the word.

Weekly Reflections

Dear All,

Hello! I am back to blogging after a not so short break... I missed it and I missed you of course! What about you?

My aim is to share with you my weekly reflections, every Thursday evening, to inspire you and make you think of philosophical concepts in an easier and more digestible manner.

The source of those? My so far lessons learned in the "school of life" extracted through thoughts, feelings and personal experiences...and also through discussions to assist others developing a better understanding on specific matters that require resolution and how those can be better addressed and therefore resolved by themselves.

Triggers of those are various:
* challenges arose in the daily life
* certain matters require thinking prior resolving
* ethical dilemmas...

Hope you will find those thoughts inspiring enough to assist you view the world with different "pair of glasses"/ ways of seeing and therefore ways of thinking... Because the beauty comes from within: the more time we spend resolving our internal fights then the less the external fights will be... in our closer relationships or the broader ones such as the society that we live in or the whole world itself.

Reaction

Scientific discovery states that energy never ceases... it flows continuously and it is transformed to a different type of energy. Also, according to the laws of our universe, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction in order balance to be achieved.

As we flow through the paths of our lives some events will happen:
* either we planned them or not,
* either we expected them or not,
* either we welcome them or not.

And when an event happens we will have some sort of reaction: equal, opposite or neutral. This reaction will be formed and will be based on our own universe. That is what we have inside our minds and inside our hearts.

* A mind full of fear will exhibit feelings of anger, jealousy, envy, greed, lying, unforgiveness and selfishness.
* A heart full of love will seek joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.

The internal fight of mind vs. heart, or interchangeably referred as fear vs. love, will be pushed into the surface every time a reaction will occur. In every such occasion there will be a winner: the winner of this internal fight, will decide what the impact will be. Ones thoughts, feelings and words will define the winner of this internal fight.

Who will win is the one that we practice the most. Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. If we cultivate fear and worry our dreams will become nightmares. If we cultivate love and optimism only good will come.

The more intense the reaction is the more intense the response will be. Depending who will win the more intense or the more balanced the result will be:
* negativity will be washed out with positivity and vice versa
* negativity can be blocked with no reaction.

 A heart full of love will seek to spread good and eliminate fear. A good heart will choose to wash out
* arrogance with peace and love
* greed with generosity
* pride with humility
* despair with hope
* lies with truth
* hurt with forgiveness

A heart full of love can train the mind full of fear to change it's negative perceptions and seek the goodness that only a heart full of love can bring which is ultimately happiness and joy.

And as we choose to respond to those events, the universe will choose to respond back to us in the same way, immediately or in the near future. What happened yesterday, what is happening now and also what will happen in the future is a choice that is in our hands:  fear will bring pain whereas love will bring joy. What will influence our actions and reactions, and therefore the result in ourselves, in others and in the path of our life, is our choice of what we choose to trust more: our fearful mind or our lovable heart?
