SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you relate to the notion that the true changes we are looking for must come from within? Can you share a personal story of a time you felt your world change because of who you were becoming? What helps you be mindful of the being in the doing?
Respect all beings,from that platform we will be able create respectful civilization..
Thank you so much . So very true . What we see outside of us manifests only when the change within us takes place . This is a universal law and have experienced it in my own life . We are the creators .
The ultimate teaching is, "It is who we become that changes the world and not what we do." The part of us that is "becoming" involves remembering that we are spiritual beings whose destiny is to radiate light and channel unconditional love. We came here to learn about the power of love and to create from love. The part that we are "doing" involves how we walk on this earth as conscious beings. We must be conscious of every action, thought, and word. For once again, our outer world is a reflection of our inner state............Very true Love is real....& that too UNCONDITIONAL
I very much appreciate Sandra Ingerman's message. As she says, everything that manifests in the physical world starts in the invisible realm of spirit. Inside is our being, and outside is our doing. Doing is an expression of our being. Real and lasting change in doing is accomplished through change in being. Substantial change is from inside out. In learning this, my world view changed. A major part of the change for me was in regards to responsibility. I am responsible for my happiness and unhappiness, which are the result of my way of being and not of what befalls me from outside. I learned if I'm not happy and want to be happy, I need to change me within and not just my outside. Change in my external behavior may facilitate change within, but it's only when I change from within that I really change. Knowing that my doing is the manifestation of my inner being helps me be mindful of the being in the doing.
