Of all the greatest mysteries of life, what seems to perplex us the most is its meaning. We live it but when asked to describe what it means, we’re not sure what to say. Some believe it is our daily experiences that make up this concept called, “life.”

Yet others say it is a joke, and you are the punch-line.

The sum total collective of our experience as a human… is that life? What about the animal and plant kingdoms? They have life, too. The Earth is full of life.

So are the cosmos to the furthest reaches of the universe, and beyond.

The microscopic to the macro-cosmic is teaming with life. So this electric current of intelligence that flows through us all… this awareness of concept called life that connects and animates the entire universe as one Being, dissected into a plethora of individual aspects of Self… what is the purpose of the whole?

And if there is a purpose for life on this planet (or anywhere else) how do we find it?

Countless people throughout history have searched for their purpose, and found it.

Those who have crafted and carved out their own destiny, motivated by unshakable faith in their purpose and impenetrable Will have served their purpose and lived fully.

But for those who have no path, or one is chosen for them, or forced upon them… there is no future. No sense of destiny… and thus no Will, no motivating factor and no inspiring force to compel them and keep them going.

So is it true that we were all ‘created’ with a specific, individual purpose to serve while we are alive… or is this concept an incredibly clever way to control the thoughts, feelings and actions of the masses? Because if the TRUE meaning of life is simply “to live” then there is no pre-determined destiny for anyone, or any thing.

And yet we understand there is a purpose for each cell in our bodies. Our cells know their purpose without question. Their entire lives as individual cells are dedicated to serving the greater good for the whole – you. This is the true meaning of life. To serve.

When you are in a spirit of service, you bring good into the world. Not service to any one thing, idea or concept… in service not just to mankind, but to the whole activity of life itself, in all its majestic, mysteriously divine aspects and qualities.

This demands respect for life, as the whole that it is. It is common for mankind to love one thing and hate another… yet both of these are coming from the same source… you’re both cells inside a gigantic conceptual ‘Being’… you’re still on the same team.

So what does it mean then, to be in a spirit of service? Every spiritual document of every creed and belief has this value at the core of every system. Be kind to others. Treat others the way you prefer others to treat you. Help people whenever the opportunity to do so presents itself, without demanding monetary reward or status for it.

Everything we do, is for selfish reasons. Even if you help another person, you are doing so to feel better yourself… about yourself. Deeply within, we understand the hard truth that we never do anything for another person that does not benefit us in some way, even if to confirm our belief that “I am a good person” etc… so this is paradoxical.

It is our purpose to serve the greater whole, and yet it selfishly gratifies the ego.

But even though that may be true, to wear an attitude of doing good in the world from the smallest action to the biggest world-changing idea or invention can only bring one into full alignment with the sensation of fullness, of self-satisfaction, which when we feel this sensation we say we are fulfilling our purpose, because it feels ‘right.’

So our purpose then is to live and create in our world, and to serve our creation so that it manifests our life as beautiful and in harmony with the whole.

It doesn’t matter if the people you surround yourself with don’t see it quite that way, and have hate in their hearts from ignorance of the whole and like to talk about other people in a negative way, or wish harm on others for whatever reason.

Your life is not theirs. You’re sharing the same current of action and intelligence called “life” but your perspective is unique, just as the perspective of each cell is unique – and yet they all work together for the whole.

Don’t worry about what others think of themselves, other people, or you.

Remain focused on your purpose, your destiny… it is whatever you create it to be through the thoughts you hold in your mind and accept as the truth… the emotions you attach to those thoughts, the actions you take based on those emotions… the habits you make based on those actions… and the lifestyle you live based on those habits.

Service to the whole is service to Self. The greatest service you can do, is to find what brings you the gift of passion… and do that. When you are in the state of passion, you uplift everyone around you, which can impact their lives in dramatically positive ways.

It doesn’t matter what activity that is, let no one rob you of it. Find your passion for this is your purpose as the cell-to-the-greater-Being that you are. Your cells are you, just as much as the whole thing called the body, is you. Microscopic to Macro-cosmic.

3. The Shift: Taking Your Life From Ambition to Meaning… by Wayne Dyer (Book Excerpt) I recently had the pleasure of viewing an inspiring documentary...

Life is good, really good. Sometimes I feel like the good karma train picked me up, and simply refuses to let me off. I have an amazing wife, a teenage son that makes me glow with pride, good health, a wonderful family and the best friends a guy could ask for. I have a lot to be grateful for. For many years now, “thank you” has become my meditation as I start each day.

But the truth is, life was not always this good. It wasn’t all that long ago, when the resume’ of my life looked radically different. At one time, my life was filled with nearly everything people try to avoid. Experiencing everything from unhappy relationships to financial struggles, poor health, depression, and an endless stream of negative habits was a part of my daily life.

It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, happiness was constantly eluding me and disappointment became my shadow. It also seemed as if I was paving the way for a future that sadly resembled my father’s…until he took his own life at the age of 54. This was a defining moment for me. Once the shock of losing my father began to fade, clarity and a new sense of purpose became the dominant force in my life. I remember feeling as if I had “met myself” for the very first time while also becoming conscious of my life’s true purpose. It was in that moment that I had made a major decision. Not only would I change my own life, but I would also make a difference in the lives of others.

During the next several years, I totally immersed myself into the teachings of the world’s greatest personal and spiritual development gurus. Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Ram Dass, and The Dalai Lama became some of my most influential teachers. Through workshops and spending way too much time in the self-help section at Borders, (the employees there must think I’m a total mess) I had literally learned hundreds of techniques for living a fulfilling life, but something still seemed to be missing.

Although the ideas I learned had a major impact on the quality of my life, I was still searching for that one universal path to happiness that worked for everyone. Whether you’re African American, Caucasian, Native American, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist or have four legs and a tail-I knew there had to be something that benefited all of us, simply because we all want the same thing in life…to be happy.

Enlightenment and epiphanies can show up in some pretty strange ways. The Buddha found it under a Boddhi tree, Nelson Mandela in prison and spiritual guru Ram Dass through psychedelic drugs.

Little did I know, mine would arrive in the form of a hard-shelled reptile simply trying to cross the road-a turtle. But this wasn’t just any turtle, this was the world’s most optimistic one. He was tenaciously determined to cross twenty feet of tar as cars zoomed by at 55 mph. (Yes, I said He – only a male turtle would be stubborn enough to think he could actually make it).

But today was his lucky day. My wife’s quick driving reflexes not only ensured that “turtle soup” would not be for dinner that night, but her act of kindness would eventually become the foundation for everything I teach today. As unusual as this sounds, the simple act of pulling our car over, removing this little turtle from harms way, and placing him back into the wild, caused something extraordinary to happen inside of me.

As I stood there holding this tiny creature in my hands, a wave of pure joy came over me. It was that warm, teary-eyed sensation that we feel during life’s greatest moments; like falling in love or the birth of a child. I honestly felt as if my heart was completely opening up as everything stood still around me. In no way would I have described it as “enlightenment”, but there was no doubt about it-helping this little turtle just felt so damn good!

But why?

After all, it’s just a turtle, right? And then it hit me. I finally realized what was happening. At that point, a flood of inspiring thoughts surged through me. I walked back to the car, opened my journal and wrote eight words that would later prove to be life changing for me:“kindness creates happiness” and “live a life of kindness”.

It was the answer I had been looking for. The secret to inner peace and lasting happiness was kindness. Not “random acts of” or simply being nice, but rather as…a way of life. I had already known the benefits of kindness through studying many eastern philosophies, but I had never actually considered it as a lifestyle.

But, this day was just beginning…

Just thirty minutes after my mini-epiphany, my wife and I arrived at our original destination-a country garden show. After walking around for just a few minutes, a gentle faced 60-something looking man waved me over to the front porch of his farmhouse, for no apparent reason. The entire setting was like a scene out of an old movie-weathered rocking chairs-the smell of cookies baking-and a coon cat that looked as old as the farmhouse itself.

“Let her look around, come and sit with me” he said. I had no idea what to expect, but as I sunk into the large wicker chair beside him, I couldn’t help feeling that he was going to say something profound. After all, if a turtle can change my life, why not a wise old farmer?

After a brief hello and a polite introduction, we simply sat in silence and let the sunlight warm our faces. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally spoke…

“You know” he said, “I’ve often thought that the meaning of life is making things a little bit easier for those around us, what do you think?” I was speechless. It felt like I had just been hit on the head again with life’s big karma stick. He went on to tell me his version of “the secrets to life” and how “true happiness can only be found by loving and serving others”. Finally he finished with, “oh, and don’t forget…you really gotta’ love the one you’re with…yourself”.

Life was obviously trying to tell me something.

In the days and weeks that followed, the world looked completely different to me. The more I studied and tested my “kindness creates happiness” theory, the more I was blown away by its life-changing power. It seemed as if it was the cure to so many of life’s ailments.

Negative emotions such as anger, depression, bitterness, jealousy and hatred simply could not survive when confronted by thoughts or acts of kindness. But there was more. Studies were showing that kindhearted people were receiving amazing benefits in life, such as: fulfilling relationships, a lower rate of divorce, a strong sense of spirituality, relief from anxiety and depression, deep feelings of self-worth, jobs they loved and, they even lived longer!

In addition to those benefits, kindhearted people also experienced “karmic kindness”. By thinking and acting in kind ways, they were attracting unexpected new opportunities and positive events into their life, proving that there are magnetic qualities to our thoughts and actions.

It was a no-brainer. Kind people were happier, healthier and had more fulfilling lives. But, this also made me wonder; if kindness can create happiness, why are there so many unhappy people in the world? What is causing so much suffering? The answer was so incredibly obvious that I swear I heard the universe say, “duh?”! If kindness creates happiness then… unkindness creates unhappiness. It was just that simple. People that are unkind towards others, the environment and especially themselves…end up being the unhappiest people on the planet!

This was a huge wake up call to self-responsibility. I realized that most of my disappointments in life were simply because I had been unkind to others and especially to myself. After spending much of my life thinking “what’s in it for me”, my new inner mantra became; “am I being kind?”

This one simple question changed my life. So, whenever I feel the need to disagree with my wife, lash out at a rude employee in the mall or even before I shove ten cookies into my mouth, (obvious unkindness toward my body) I go within and ask; “am I being kind?” These four little words have become my source to inner peace. It has created many positive changes in me such as recycling and acting more “green” and consciously respecting all of life. I even stopped setting the mousetraps in the garage. (My wife is going to flip out when she reads that last one).

Another big change in my life was the irresistible urge to perform “spontaneous acts of kindness”. Things like buying coffee for strangers and giving money to the homeless just seemed natural. Each kind act felt like a blissful surge of energy through my chest. But what became even more exhilarating were the intense feelings of warmth towards everyone around me-especially difficult people. Whether there was someone who acted rude in traffic or an inconsiderate person in line at the grocery store, I no longer felt anxious or offended-I simply wished for their happiness. That’s when I realized what it truly meant to be living kindness.

Many things have changed for me since “the turtle incident” and discovering the power of kindness. Although I had no idea how a kindness advocate could support a family, I decided to close the doors of my successful business and do exactly what I’ve taught so many others to do, “listen to your heart”. It was the best decision I have ever made. Has it been easy? Not always. There were many times when I questioned this journey and my ability to “change the world” through kindness. But because of the amazing people that surround me each day, The Kindness Center has evolved into something beyond my wildest dreams. If it were not for my wonderful wife Cara, my son Alex, and my loving family and friends…none of this would exist today.

Also, to all of the people who come to my talks, endure my long-winded stories, (like this one) and believe in my vision for a happier, and especially kinder world…thank you! You are the reason I can live out this dream every single day.

With love and gratitude…

Michael

A friend recently sent me a link to learn more about Project Forgive and halfway through watching the short movie I just knew that I wanted in…

from the site…

Life happens.

We lose our jobs, we face bankruptcy and foreclosure. Some of us are dealing with a divorce, others of us are facing life threatening illnesses such as cancer. Culturally, we see deep political fighting, immigration issues, war, despair and violence. In the face of all this, how can we find the courage to forgive and cause a new realm of possibility, a new conversation?

We want to find out, so we’re making a documentary that will dive into a simple, yet complicated inquiry. The film will include exquisite stories of courageous forgiveness from celebrities, thought leaders, and people whose stories have yet to be told. Just like the one that inspired us to create the film.

I have been sitting here attempting to come up with the “right” words to motivate you to visit…

Project Forgive

and to get involved – either by sharing your stories, backing the movie, or just by passing the link along to everyone you know…

This project is sooooooo important – especially in these chaotic times.  I work with so many people who come to me with the poison of unforgiveness clouding their ability to live their Highest and Best Lives – and a poison it is.  Holding grudges, feeling “wronged”, doesn’t just affect the people who have “wronged you” – it slowly poisons you – as well as everyone who cares about you.  It sucks on your energy and motivation, it turns the world gray, and held long enough it will make you sick

By getting involved in a project like this one we can make a difference – in all of our lives…

So get involved with Project Forgive  – and then come back and share with us your own forgiveness stories…..

please

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me complain, again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January cold air.

Teach a dog to close a door behind him? You got to be kidding. That has got to be a really, really hard thing to do, and I do not have any dog training credentials following my name.

But then she took it a step further. “Come on Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats and positioning him in front of the open door. “touch”

And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a closed position. She rewarded him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!”.

And I saw and became convinced. Over the last few days I have been consistent with Kolby. Each time he comes in I bring him back to the open door and ask him to close (I changed the target word, making the command more specific). There have been failures, but lately more and more successes. And I knew we turned the corner this morning when he asked to be let out just so I would open the door, so that he could close it and be treated.

WOW

There remains work to be done. I have to remove the hand signal and work so that he will close the door from a distance. But, I now realize, with consistency of focus the task will be completed, and, with the way things are progressing, completed quickly.

What a wonderful treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself. Even more wonder can be found in the lessons I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.

A wish is just a wish until you decide to take action.

Once you decide to accomplish a goal, and decide that it “is” easy (remember Emma’s assurance), then it becomes easy to do what needs to be done. Just start doing it.

As long as one holds on to the belief that it is “too hard”, than it remains “too hard” and out of reach.

Working towards the accomplishment of a goal can be loads of fun, and full of lots and lots of treats.

So what have you been wishing for lately? And what has been stopping you from getting started?

This is a sad time and a sad generation. Although there is no world war, although the technology to live a comfortable life has never been as advanced, although we can now reach one another in a click of a button; all the good things we possess can’t seem to cast away the dark clouds that hang everywhere, obscuring the azure sky, blocking the warmth of our bright and faithful sun.

Stripped of its radiance, we walk on cold pavements each day, flaunting the calloused hearts that hold back our tears, wandering the streets hurriedly, as though we knew where we should be going. The truth however is that we walk naked, pretending we are strong, numbing our hearts and killing our souls, just so we can get by, just so we’d be the people our twisted society wants us to transform into.

Rich and poor alike are dying within, the humanity of their souls being sucked away either by the necessity of their survival or by their meaningless ambitions. Where then can we find that little piece of heaven, that small flame of hope that would keep us from stumbling in the dark?

I urge you to look more closely, for it is there, streaking through the thick fog, making its way through the darkness.

Busy morning. You hurry off to work unable to take a single bite of breakfast. You arrive at your office. You see what’s on top of your table. Coffee and croissant with a sweet note from a dear friend. You pause for a while, you savor the strong aroma of java, and take a good sip. Not much for a tv commercial, but enough to catch the first glimpse of sunlight of your day. A little piece of heaven.

-You got busted at work. On your way home you went through a hell of a traffic jam. Then right there at your doorstep, your two-year old child opens up her arms and hugs you. You feel her tiny fingers holding on unto you. She kisses you. Numerous little kisses that take away all your tiredness and frustrations. A little piece of heaven.

-A storm has just passed. The city lay in flood and ruins. In a few moments more, children emerge from their houses. They proudly carry the paper boats they have just made. No flood could dampen their spirits, no storm could darken the light in their eyes. You hear their laughter. You get infected with their joy. A little piece of heaven.

-It’s way past lunch. The young scavenger still has to search heaps of garbage before she could buy anything to eat. Something unexpectedly catches her eyes. A soiled doll with blue eyes, a red apron, and a missing leg. She smiles for her good fortune. She’s just found a gift for her little sister’s birthday! A little piece of heaven.

Christmas. An old lady lives alone. The doorbell suddenly rings. The house is quickly flooded with young
professionals bearing gifts for their old teacher. They could not forget her motherly hand. They remain thankful for her wisdom. A little piece of heaven.

-A rebellious daughter. A patient and prayerful mother. A realization that brings a lasting change. Repentance. Daughter graduates valedictorian in her class. Mother listens to her speech, tears streaming down her cheeks. A little piece of heaven.

-A man stricken with AIDS and considered an outcast. An old nun who reaches out, treats his wounds and embraces him warmly, passing no judgement, no fear, no condemnation. The man smiles and looks up to heaven. He breathes his last, but in that last breath was a breath of hope, and a renewed faith in God. A little piece of heaven.

Have you seen them? Have you caught a single piece of happiness lately? You may not be looking. Or you may not feel you can give some little piece today. Look. Believe. Smile. A smile brings out a lot of sunbeams, and attracts streaks of happiness along the way. Catch a piece today, your very own piece of heaven.

I am sure Roosevelt knew the True Meaning of this iconic quotation. So why do I raise this now?

Well, in recent weeks, as I have shifted the focus of this Newsletter from a “Higher”, Spiritual focus, to an Experiential physical World focus.

As we Quicken towards the Singularity of this Cycle of Human Consciousness, it has become incumbent upon me to switch my focus from Higher Aspects of our Divine Triune Nature and Being, to the physical, Experiential Aspects of Our Triune Being.

As mentioned in recent weeks, if we are to be balanced and prepared for that which is to be Experienced in the context of this Great Transition of Consciousness, we simply cannot neglect any aspect of our Divinity if we are to Evolve and Progress.

Now whilst I much prefer to focus on the Higher, Spiritual aspects of Life, and believe me I would, I cannot and will not selectively disregard my Inner Guidance for fear that some readers might not “like to hear it”. We must remain balanced.

The events “taking place” in the World today are not only shaping our Personal Experience but also shaping the Collective Experience of Humanity as we conclude this current Cycle of Human Consciousness and Transition to the next Cycle.

We Are In This Together, for better or for worse.

Not only therefore must we acknowledge current events, but we must become One with these events. Any conscious effort to “reject” or “distance ourselves” from these events, is a rejection of Our Very Being, for we Are those events and they are Us.

The point is this. I have received messages from readers of this Newsletter for many years who have expressed distress by the recent emphasis, and in particular question why I have “been turned to the dark side of the force” by “propagating fear”.

Well first of all let me say I am Grateful to receive all messages such as these.

Second let me assure Readers that I have not been “turned” to the dark or any side.

I said in the final chapter of my book, Our Ultimate Reality, Life, The Universe and Destiny of Mankind, and have said in many Newsletters:

I know what I write is True, because I know the Source of that which I share in this Newsletter, in the book, on the website etc.

However, never accept anything I say as a fact simply because I wrote it. Always listen to your own Heart and Inner Guidance, and only allow that which you Feel is True and of Value on your own Spiritual Path.

Now let us analyse this emotion called “fear” more closely.

What is “fear”.

Fear is an emotional response invoked by an Experience that we do not understand.

Fear, along with uncertainty and doubt is one of the most powerful weapons that the “global elite” who would wish to control Humanity and the World have in their emotional arsenal against Humanity.

This “fear weapon” is invoked in numerous ways, for example through the control of money and debt, and the conditions of its distribution for basic survival needs.

Another very major and pervasive deployment of fear is through the medium of religions, who portray a vengeful, jealous, capricious “God”, whose “wrath” you will surely incur if you do not obey the rules set out by God’s ambassadors -- the church.

The RC religion for example currently emotionally controls over 1 billion people through fear and guilt. The fear is of being “sent to burn in damnation and brimstone for all eternity”. Guilt is invoked through for example the “seven deadly sins” which, should you fall foul of, requires you to “attend confessional” and pay a “penance”.

Another, much more insidious application of control through fear created in the last couple of decades, particularly in and by the USA, is the so called “war on terror”, which seeks to make people feel fearful and insecure so that the “controllers” can exert all manner of onerous, oppressive and invasive controls over the people.

For example, after “9/11″, aside from invading Afghanistan for selfish reasons, the USA enacted the “Homeland Security Act” as well as many other controls, some by “executive order”, all designed to exert increasing control over their own people.

The “war against terror” is totally and utterly fictitious, but is designed to control the people, and to justify further strategic imperial invasions of countries for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with “terrorists” or “humanitarianism”, and everything to do with regime changes to control countries for military and natural resources.

Also keep in Mind that the “global elite” who would seek to control the World are practicing “satanists” who feed off and draw power from the fear emotion. The more fear they can invoke in as many people as possible, the stronger they become. To put it another way, these people are “vampires” who feed voraciously on fear.

Now we must, if we are to progress, rise beyond not only these false contrivances, but also, most crucially, It Is Absolutely Crucial to Transcend Fear Itself.

Let me assure you Dear Reader that it is virtually impossible to progress Spiritually if fear can be invoked within us. Spiritual Evolution knows no fear.

Fear is not only of a very low Vibratory Frequency, thus pulling down overall Vibratory Frequency -- a major strategic objective of the “global elite” -- fear also implies Spiritual “imbalances” or “disconnects” that can sequester that Crucial Inner Connection and Oneness with Higher Self and With Source.

Why is this?

Well the reason is profound yet beautifully simple.

Every Single Human Being, and All Life, Is Divine, Infinite and Eternal Expression of Source, Fully Inclusive of The Infinite Power of Source, the same Divine, Infinite, Eternal Power that Created the Universe and All That Is.

Each of Us Has The Universe Of All That Is Within Us, As Us.

Do you believe that Source, God, is capable of fear?

Of course not.

Everything that people are fearful of is already part of us, so to be fearful of anything at all is no different to being frightened at the sight of our own shadow. We are the very Experience that we would be fearful of. Are you “scared” of your-Self?

Let me then state this emphatically:

No-thing Can Possibly Harm You Except To The Extent You Believe It Can

One of the most Crucial and Glorious Truths and Meaning Of Life, Is To Return To Our Source Through The Realisation And Expression Of Source. When We, During The Path Of Evolution Become Source Through Our Own Spiritual Experience, Then We Become Source Absolutely And Reunite With Source.

Now of course Earth is but the first step on the ladder, but nevertheless and extremely crucial one, because, just like the child in the sandbox of kindergarten who must learn to control his or her newfound abilities before being “let loose” in the outside World, so too must humans before being let loose in the Glorious and Harmonious Spheres beyond the Earth playground.

Now, as I mentioned previously, we are not only our physical body. We are Body, Mind and Spirit -- Consciousness -- and we cannot, if we wish to progress, selectively neglect any one aspect of our Triune Being, otherwise would be Spiritually unbalanced, and dis-harmony must surely follow -- it is absolutely inevitable.

As Above, So Below, As Within, So Without, said Master Hermes Trismegistus.

If we harbour any Inner turmoil or instability, or react emotionally to that which we see or hear, then those thoughts, feelings and emotion must be reflected and Expressed in to your physical Experience.

Conversely -- if we stand strong and tall, in Full Realisation of Who We Are, Living In the Moment, Pure of Mind, a Mind Like A Polished Mirror, With No Thought, Simply Observing And Allowing All That We See and Hear To Enter And Leave Our Consciousness As A Leaf Drifting By In The Wind, Then We Are “Invincible”. No-Thing Can “Harm” Us, All Things Are Possible.

Ask Yourself This:

Can you stand in the middle of a battlefield, bullets, bombs and missiles flying all around you, without thoughts, feelings or emotions, and In Joy For Who You Are, Knowing That No-Thing That Is Part Of You Can Ever Harm You?

If so -- excellent. If not, ask yourself why.

Ask yourself -- “what is it within me that makes me feel uncomfortable or fearful?”

It matters not what news I bring to you of the “World”, or the TV news, or what you read on the Internet -- it is all part of the Human Experience which collectively is forging the Human Mind and Spirit in preparation for the Great Transition Which All Humanity is Quickening towards Right Now.

I will conclude this subject then with three most Wise and Enlightened quotations from Morihei Ueshiba, who invented “Aikido”.

Aikido is a “Martial Art” and like most Martial Arts is not intended to be about forging a Human Being to be a “deadly weapon” but is rather about forging a Human Being Spiritually and Mentally so that mere weapons become unnecessary and irrelevant.

So Aikido is first and foremost a path of Spiritual and Mind Development, but which also teaches that the best form of defence is no defence, because if you respond to an attack upon your person with force and aggression, the opponent will take the Energy of that force and aggression Energy and turn it against you.

However, just as darkness cannot make a Light room darker, but the Light can make a dark room Lighter, Inner Peace Always Prevails Over Aggression, But Aggression Can Never Prevail Over Inner Peace.

It will be clear therefore that total control over Inner Thoughts, Feelings and Emotions is absolutely central to this, and most other Martial Art Disciplines.

Aikido also teaches that no matter how aggressive or intimidating the “opponent” is, the best and only True Form of Defence is Peace.

Here now are three quotations from Morihei Ueshiba:

Each Day Of A Human Life Contains Joy And Anger, Pain And Pleasure, Darkness And Light, Growth And Decay. Each Moment Is Etched With Nature’s Grand Design -- Do Not Try To Deny Or Oppose The Cosmic Order Of Things.

Do Not Look Upon This World With Fear And Loathing. Bravely Face Whatever The Gods Offer.

Life Itself Is Always A Trial. In Training You Must Test And Polish Yourself In Order To Face The Great Challenges Of Life. Transcend The Realm Of Life And Death, And Then You Will Be Able To Make Your Way Calmly And Safely Through Any Crisis That Confronts You.

These are Wise Words from a Great and Spiritual Person, and I would agree wholeheartedly with everything he said in these quotations.

I would like to also note that the Occupy Wall Street Movement is a Living Expression of these Principles, day after day, week after week, month after month.

They Live in Peace, Harmony and Service, Even In The Face Of Excessive, Unjustified and Provocative Force By The Police. This is how It Should Be. (see video below)

This Dear Reader Is The Power Rising Inexorably Around the World Today, And It is The Power Of Peace, Love And Transformation of Consciousness.

Our Collective Moment is Now.

“One wintry morning of 1983, I quietly arrived to the world, with wide eyes searching my surroundings for the first time, seeking something that wouldn’t be found till twenty-five years later. What I did find was the best jewel God has bestowed upon me, when my eyes met that of my mother, Juliet Cheng, who would be first to rejoice with me when I finally discovered what I had sought.

Before we could celebrate over my find, challenges soon filled our lives, like a looming mountain range we always have to climb. The range began with a tuberculin skin test I received when I was eleven months old. Five days after the shot, I developed a very high fever, followed by red, swollen joints and cries that hammered against Mother’s heart. I had just contracted severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

By my thirteenth month of life, I was knocking on death door. Seeing that American medicines offered no relief for me without causing retrograde effects, Mother took me to China six times in a span of ten years to seek treatment. By doing so, she had saved my life numerous times, for the crippling disease had rapidly spread to nearly all of my joints; like a statue, I was unable to move or sit, and every tiniest jolt sent pain throughout my body that cut like knives.

Once prevailing over my physical pain by age eleven on the never-ending dosage of Mother’s unconditional love, I encountered a new set of challenges–starting school for the very first time. Back then, I knew only my ABCs and that two plus two equaled four and that three times five made fifteen; I had no idea from where rain came and why a beautiful rainbow followed, so I was placed in a special education class in elementary school.

Since my spirit was uncontaminated by depression or sadness, it was open to freely absorb knowledge, like crystal clear water effortlessly flowing through a mud-free river.

Therefore, after about 180 days of attendance, I mastered grade level and entered regular sixth grade in middle school, where I was the Student of the Year in sixth grade, Student of the Month in seventh grade, and where I received an excellence award for achieving the highest grade of ninety-seven in Earth science in eighth grade.

I then entered high school with a smile that spoke a thousand words. It was in high school when something divine happened: the loss of my eyesight.

No, I didn’t consider it so divine at first, when I became blind at age seventeen. Yet, I wasn’t –and still am not–bitter. Just as with my inability to walk, I’m never scornful for losing my sight. Instead, I’m grateful for having owned this gift before. But in any case, how could I possibly view the loss of my eyesight a divine turn of events? I had not discovered the value of this challenge until years later…..”

He may be green and funny looking, but Yoda was wise beyond his 900 years…

Yoda was a fictional character from the Star Wars movies. He first appears in The Empire Strikes Back as a Jedi Master, and trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Jedi.

Yoda possessed a great knowledge in how to use ‘the Force’. He was capable of great acts of telekinesis, clairvoyance and could tap into his intuition at will…

…and he loved to share his wisdom via yoda speak. Here are 10 of his best quotes and sayings -

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

“Always in motion is the future.”

“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”

[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.

“Do or do not… there is no try.”

“a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.”

“Ohhh. Great warrior. Wars not make one great.”

“A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.”

“When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not.”

Every once in a while, we’re watching a movie and a character says something profound that sticks in our mind…
