As I gaze staring at perfection through my eyes, I now see imperfection in disguise. The disguise is illusionary as there is perfection in imperfection, simply a change of perception. Will there always be imperfection standing before me or as a disguise? As long as my perception remains, imperfection remains. Does imperfection lie dormant without a means to defeat it? Defeating it means looking at imperfection, changing your perception, or creating a wonderful work of art. Danny G.
It’s All Perception
Suffering is a mind not at ease, and a body not at ease. The mind not at ease is optional, and whatever the mind says, the body eventually follows. Reaction defines everything including your emotional state and the life that unfolds. React out of peace, harmony and love. Seek wisdom, above your preconceived notions and misconceptions. In time, with persistence and faith, you’ll have the life of your every desire. Danny G.
Perception Changes Everything
You can see this world and humanity as merely evolution and happenstance, or you can see it as creation from the divine and all its interconnected beings. You can see it as chaos or havoc, or you can see it as your opportunity for growth and unity. Perception changes everything including you and all the lives you touch. Danny G.
Don’t Assume
We categorize based on first impressions and assumptions made from appearance. Nobody knows what’s happening internally except the individual himself. We form all types of conclusions based on what we see, and what we perceive. How do we know what’s happening inside the mind and soul? Sometimes the strongest ones are the ones we overlook, and sometimes the most confident ones are the ones trying to hide something. Nobody is wrong, and everyone has their own barriers and journey. The only wrong approach is assuming we know. Danny G.
Fear Not In A Fearful World
How to not let the fear of others become your own
I want to first emphasize that I’m not against the government and health officials and the health and safety practices to avoid the spread of disease. However, looking around me I see fear everywhere and I wanted to share my insights and philosophies on what brings me peace of mind and security during these difficult times. How do we not become fearful in a fearful world and most importantly when it affects the entire planet and our loved ones?
I believe in following health and safety regulations and avoiding contamination by all means. The problem is our anxiety is skyrocketing from the chaos and diseases on this planet. I do believe there must be a strong focus on eliminating the spread, however, there’s a fine line between focusing on the solution or obsessing over the disease.
We’ve heard the many spiritual masters of our time say what you focus on, you perpetuate, so the more people focus on this matter with fear and dread rather than the solution, they’re perpetuating the problem.
It sounds easier said than done and for most it’s very difficult to do so, however practice and repetition is key. If someone can practice their skills and abilities enough to be a professional ball player or professional stock broker, one can practice not being fearful in a fearful or chaotic world.
If someone is mentally and spiritually strong, no matter what the adversity is, he should have the will and strength to overcome it. If someone is constantly stressed and he or she gets sick, is there much energy left to fight off the disease?
Take someone who is optimistic, and he has faith that he will overcome, the journey may not be easy but at least he’s investing his energy towards wellness. Whatever you focus on you perpetuate, so perpetuate the right things.
We only have so much energy during the day and if we focus all our energy on complaining, or our fears, then a little flu can appear much more painful than it really is. I don’t want to make light of the situation, I just want to empathize having inner peace in a fearful world is possible. Having peace despite the chaos is possible, and when you do have peace, you’re a much stronger influence to help others remain well or recover.
So my question to you is, what influence do you want to be, and what thoughts do you want to entertain?
Changing Your Inner World
There’s always two worlds within you, an inner world, and an outer world. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in the outer world, you forget about your inner world. Both are becoming, and both are happening simultaneously. One is constantly affecting the other, whether negative or positive. Don’t get so stuck on your outer world, that you forget your inner world, because your inner world reflects your outer world and vice versa. Change your inner world to project the essence of your being, and the essence of your desires. Then you’ll see it play back in the outer world as your creation, imagination, and what’s destined to be. Danny G.
Perception is Everything
Dear mountain of mine, maybe I cannot change you at this present time, and perhaps you’ll remain for a while. Nevertheless, perception is mine, and I choose to see you for what you are. You’re simply a creation of mine, impermanent, but permanent in the lesson you imprint in my heart. Danny G.
Allowing the Infinite Intelligence
Open your eyes and see there are many roads to Rome, and many ways to heal, and grow. There is so much contrast, with so many voices trying to pull you one way. Each voice is vying for your attention, as you chart your course. Perception can always change, when you allow the divine to unleash the infinite intelligence. Danny G.
Seek Joy and Growth
Everyone has a place in the world, and we all have our share to create a greater humanity. Just make sure you’re shedding light, not darkness, and don’t fight contrast or others’ perceptions. Accept that everyone’s journey is unique, as we’re all imparting a seed in some form. We tread the path of imperfections, on a journey of trial and error to our destination. The most important element is acknowledging our progress and always seeking growth. Danny G.
Perfection and Perception
Perfection can mean two things. It can mean being your best where you are with what you have. Or it can be the impossible task of getting everything right and never falling. With the former, you have control, and you choose your reaction. However, the latter will never give you the power to create and ultimately the gift of the journey. Danny G.
