Freedom From Dependency

Freedom From Dependency 

The real reason why we sometimes experience a lack of real, deep lasting happiness in our lives is dependency. We are taught to make our happiness dependent on some event, condition, person, object etc. This is why we keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. But life is never just right, and the future never comes – there is only now! And that's why, in order to be happy we must make our happiness a decision and not a dependency. 


Reflection: What is your happiness mostly dependent on right now? Imagine your self without the above and that you are quite content without the above, how do you feel?


Action: What can you do in your mind tomorrow to change your state of being from dependency to freedom from dependency

Mind, Intellect And Personality

Mind, Intellect And Personality

Just as electrical energy produces warmth, sound or light depending on the device through which it passes, similarly, the energy of consciousness functions through three different but closely connected entities, referred to respectively by the terms mind, intellect and personality.

The Mind
With the power of the mind, one imagines, thinks and forms ideas.  The non-physical mind should not be confused with the heart, the physical organ that maintains blood circulation.

The Intellect
The intellect understands, reasons, memorizes, discriminates and makes decisions. The non–physical intellect should not be confused with the physical brain, which is the physical focus of the nervous system.

The Personality
Habits, sanskaras and tendencies are all embedded in the soul in the form of impressions as a result of every action performed. The most fundamental feature of every soul, its personality, is determined by such stored impressions
