I just completed five days at
board of directors meetings here in Portland for the Vajra Flame Foundation. Any time one has an opportunity to be of
service to a non-profit organization there is a sense of fulfillment that can
come to that person. I certainly felt
an energizing force envelope me and I know the other board members felt the
same way.
What I want to share with you is
a thought presented in one of our meditations by Kathlyn Kingdon, the channel
for Djwhal Khul. We were asked
to consider these questions:
Who is it that
Sees
through my eyes?
Hears
through my ears?
Reaches
out with my hands?
Loves
through my heart?
In our interactions with others
we have choices about how we experience and share those connections. Perhaps too often we express ourselves out of whatever our current mood might be. If
we are feeling upbeat, then we share from our happiness. If we are not feeling so good, we may pass
on our unpleasantness to others. One
way to greatly improve our interactions with others is to ask ourselves the
questions above before we begin the experience.
When I look out at my world who
is seeing through my eyes? Is it
a spiritually grounded, positively directed soul, one who looks for the highest
and best that is possible? Do I let my
eyes see with a clear vision of potential?
Do my eyes see the vision of my dreams?
Who is hearing through my
ears? Regardless of the dissonance that
may be present, can I break free from that and hold to the truth of order and
harmony? Who reaches out with my
hands? At times when called upon to be
of assistance to others or complete a task that I may wish I did not have to
do, can I remember that loving hands are healing hands? Can I let everything I touch be blessed with
love? Can I let every handshake or
touch upon a shoulder be an expression of care and support?
Who loves through my
heart? Sometimes it is difficult to
feel love toward someone who has disappointed us or done something unpleasant
to us. At these times I will try to
remember unconditional love. This love
freely embraces all persons and situations simply because love is what it is, a
harmonizing, healing power that transforms people and situations when shared
from the heart.
Seeing, hearing, touching and
loving from the spiritual center of our being is a transforming activity. No negative situation or person can fail to
be touched by this soul energy. Even if
no apparent change is evident at first, the positive expression of love enfolds
the situation with the seed of change.
As we continue to act from this center, change for the good will come
about. Give these questions a try and
notice how it makes you feel.
