Time is the theme of my thoughts from Egypt this month. During September and the first week of October time just seemed non-existent and I actually forgot my monthly article was due.
Most of you will remember Arlene a friend of mine was lost her battle with leukaemia almost two years ago. I sent emails out to most of you asking that you include her in your prayers.
Often throughout my life I have encountered people who strongly espouse their religious beliefs with what appears to be utmost faith. I respect this. Religion is a great life foundation which I strongly applaud.
Water; what can we learn from water?
I’d never considered water to be a teacher until this morning when I lay in bed in what the Australian Aborigines consider to be the Dream Time which is the state of being half awake and half asleep.
Water comes to us in two forms; one is fresh and the other is salty. Water in both states serves and sustains life. Therefore I asked myself is water in both its states simply another duality of life? Does water then teach us that even though aspects of life may at times appear ‘salty’ that in fact these salty experiences may actually be opportunities designed to teach us more about life?
To fully understand the wholeness and perfection of life surely one needs to encounter a combination of both ‘fresh’ and ‘salty’ experiences! Humans do experience this complete prefect connection with water as they drink in fresh water to sustain life but then cry out salty water to release pain stress and even excess happiness. Do humans realize that they are experiencing the complete expression of the oneness of water in the dual compositions in which water both enters and leaves their body? I guess not because until this morning I had never considered this as a facet of water in my life!
Coincidentally when people are confronted with what may term ‘salty’ experience in life they attempt to spit it out in the same way they immediately spit out salty water. I agree that salt water does not taste great nevertheless it is a great healer and often used for medicinal purposes.
To be able to answer this question first it is necessary to fully understand what light is. I believe light is that which enables vision. Light reveals that which is hidden in darkness. ‘In the light of the truth’ is a clear statement that always brings closure to any problematic or questionable situation. Light is not only that which enables outer vision but also awakens our inner vision.
When we say we make light of a situation, this does not simply mean that we lighten the weight of the seriousness of the situation. It also means we look at the situation in new light that allows us to see things in a different way.
One of our columnists, Kerrie Guy, founded her home in Egypt and became much involved with Shams El Birr, a local centre for challenged children. In this article, she introduces the light-filled centre and interviews Dr Morcos Boulos, the founder of Shams El Birr about his work.
Shams El Birr, meaning 'Sun of Righteousness', is located in 6th of October City on the outskirts of Cairo. The centre for education, rehabilitation and care for challenged children throughout Egypt, was orginally established in 1991 and comprised of one flat with five blind girls.
The mirror effect, which is the belief that what one sees in another is a reflection of the self, is spoken of by many forward thinking people these days. I feel it symbolises a new sense of responsibility being shown whereby some people are beginning to hold accountability for the creation of their present life reality together with an acceptance that we are all one connected soul creation of life. People are becoming willing to look to another as a reflection of the self. However in this reflective process both positive and negative attitudes of the self are revealed so mirror work can sometimes be very confronting.
There is not one country in the world devoid of beggars. Why? We live in a world of plenty. Daily I see waste in all areas of life so if we have more than enough and can afford to waste, why then are some in need? Even the poor waste food and water, and they show absolutely no desire for fancy clothes etcetera. So is the need being observed one of hunger, clothing, or housing? I don’t think it is. What is the genuine need? I see the real need as being one of love; love which encapsulates compassion, understanding and acknowledgement together with a desire to serve!
I have been asked this question many times and I’m sure that many of you have also occasionally pondered this question!
Finally I feel that I that have satisfactorily harnessed the answer I’ve so long sought in this simple concise definition. ‘Love is the absence of fear.’
I’ve always acknowledged that fear is the opposite of love, which is a very simple statement; yet until now I have readily offered and accepted lengthy drawn-out complex explanations of what love is! Basically this was because I couldn’t recognise the simplicity of what was staring me in the face! However the numerous examples I’ve espoused and those I’ve heard from others have been to a large degree correct. But in the final analysis I believe the short but clear definition that I have quoted above to be correct. Any input of fear to any degree in any situation in life cancels out love.
