Personal Harmony - 3 Keys
Living from Personal Harmony, means to find your center.
To hold that center no matter whether you are thinking in the head or feeling in the heart, the center stays strong.
That means achieving great inspiration but still having a firm grip on reality, grounded.
That center is never missing.
For the centered person everything becomes sacred, beautiful whole.
Whatever they are doing, whatever it is they focus their mind and take full mindfulness.
Nothing is trivial.
They will not say this is small and this is large.
This is important and this is unimportant, no, for them everything holds the same weight.
A self-actualized person, a balanced, centered person, feels in harmony with everything.
You can feel it in their touch.
The great doctors and healers of our time have been known for the power of their touch, the softness of the disposition and the power of the concentration.
A person who is content is the same, no matter who they are with, or where they are.
They have the same inner quality.
When meeting a beggar they are not different from meeting a King.
When onstage they are identical to offstage.
When alone they are no different then when they are with friends.
This is the self-actualized person, they are completely natural.
There is no need to pretend, there is no act to present.
They practice between performances.
Falsehood has no place in their life because the center is the axis around which they live their life.
This includes being in pain.
Can you imagine being self-actualized enough to welcome pain with the same loving kindness as you welcome pleasure.
This is Personal Harmony.
The second key to Personal Harmony is that the person remains balanced.
Their life is balance.
They are never one-sided, they never make a stand, they are never righteous because they understand that everything in this world is built in duality and therefore to stand on one side or the other breeds imbalance.
A person who is imbalanced will have significant swings of emotion from infatuation to resentment, elation to depression, attraction to repulsion.
They may overeat and then starve.
These same people, imbalanced, find extremes attractive, this is disharmony.
Balanced living is neither excess or deficiency.
Neither overeating nor under eating.
Never too much, never too little.
The result of balanced living is obvious.
A balanced person will be at ease.
Whatever the situation, the relaxed attitude will not be lost.
Unconditionally, the lack of tension will stay.
A person who is at the center is always at ease.
Even if the death of a loved one comes, they will be at ease.
They will receive death as they receive birth.
If misery comes they will receive it as they receive joy.
Whatever happens it cannot dislodge this person from their center.
This relaxed attitude, this ease is also a consequence of being balanced.
When the Buddha was dying he asked his followers "why are you weeping?If you would have wept on another day it would have been okay, but this is the last day.
Why are you weeping?Do not waste your time in weeping.
Treat this day as any other day.
" The third key to Personal Harmony is the lack of tension.
Lack of tension is one of the great witnesses to the self-actualized person.
They are at ease, they do not get stressed under any circumstance and take all of life in their stride.
Their mood changes for nothing.
Nothing disturbs them, nothing dislocates them from their home in their heart, their centeredness.
To such a person you cannot add anything.
You cannot take anything away, youcannot add anything, they are fulfilled.
Their every breath is a fulfilled breath, silent and blissful they need nothing within.
This is the ultimate freedom for everything this person will do they will do out of love, kindness and commitment.
There is no hunger, no desperation, no fear.
Buddha said, "I sit in order to be silent, but sometimes this is too easy, so I walk.
But when I walk I carry the same silence within me.
I sit, andinside it is the same -- silent.
I walk, the inside a and the same -- silent" This is the model of a Spiritually Actualized person.
We're not talking here about a partial flowering.
The great mystics of our time Jesus, Buddha Mohammed, Abraham, they were Spiritually -actualized.
If they had dedicated their lives to a different field then it is possible they could have been great musicians too.
But their gift was in total Spiritual -actualization, they were at ease an all circumstances.
They were not commercial poet's, but their words were poetry, they were not musicians but their message was music of the greatest kind.
They were not trying to be specialists but were allowing themselves to simply be their true nature and allow the beauty to flow through their being.
We are not concerned with partial success, or partial growth, we're concerned with total being.
You can be centered, you can be grounded, and you can be balanced; always in the middle without effort.
As a result you will be at ease at ease with the universe, at home, in relationship and the many things that follow.
You will have no desire from within.
Total Contentment.
You will feel satisfied and comfortable before you leave for work rather than as a result of it.
You will not become more happy from a win than a loss.
A gentleness will descend on your disposition.
The joy of life will be fulfilled for you when you understand that you are already fulfilled within.
Then the world becomes simply a playground in which the differing circumstances of your life come and go.
You may decide to change location because you don't like where you are, but this is not in order to make you feel better, inside, you already do.
Instead it is in order to manifest a different external world out of playful investment.
It is like sitting for dinner with a full stomach.
There is no appetite but still sitting at the dinner table is a wonderful way to share time with great friends.
Personal Harmony is not only mental, it is physical.
You can tell a happy person because their whole energy is centered in their navel area.
That means that they understand the balance, centering techniques of the ancient mysteries.
The normal person lives on the superficial level of life, out of balance and in their head.
Their energy is all above their shoulders.
You know it, you can feel it.
When you see a person the first place you look at them where their energy sits.
Happiness can never been known on the surface.
We may eat sugar or drink alcohol or dance but unless this happiness is felt deeply then in the morning there is no sense of it.
True life can only been known at the center.
Living on the surface then only luke warm life is possible.
This is not authenticity.
An inauthentic life is a shallow life.
It is lived out of balance where high fluctuations of emotional disturbance permeates every event.
One drama to the next.
It becomes a daily routine of emotional turbulence of high and low, tension and surrender.
This is a very unfulfilling existence although on the surface it may look rich and dramatic.
It is shallow and in this heart and mind, there is no rest.
For this person their interactions become inauthentic because they have not really lived in their true nature.
All they have done is danced up and down all day giving the impression of life.
Only authentic life can become authentic relationship, and anything that is authentic, is beautiful.
But to the person who is living from their heart,such arguments are trivial, they see both sides, they are aware of the totality of any particular reality.
And because they are aware of the totality of any reality they are balanced, centered and unmoved by even the greatest of events.
