From a Different Perspective – An Ancient Asian Philosophy  

Posted on by

From a different perspective, and although this photograph was taken in Africa, Zanzibar, I want to share a philosophy from Ancient Asia that says: Life is not a circle but a spiral. Every life lesson that has ever been presented to you (which means everything you have ever been through) will come back again, in some form, until you learn it. And the stakes each time will be higher. Whatever you’ve learned will be greater fruit. Whatever didn’t work in your life before this point was a reflection of the fact that you hadn’t yet integrated the different parts in yourself. Where you didn’t yet accept yourself, you attracted a lack of acceptance in others. Where you hadn’t yet dealt with your shadows, you manifested shadowy situations. Broken parts of you encountered broken parts of others. So now you know! That was then and this is now.

 

Never give up on yourself.

“Never give up on yourself.” #Rumi – even if you had to take the longest road, even if you had to take the steepest valley, even if the pain is unbearable, even if life becomes suffocating, even if the way is blocked… Do not give up on yourself but instead… Ask for expansion, ask for breaking your own self barriers, ask for graceful love, ask for patience, ask for strength, ask for the angels to surround you, ask for God to protect you & ask yourself to set your soul free. Close your eyes if you have to, try to keep your wisdom third eye open, close your ears if you have to, but try to keep listening internally… Try and try again and try again but never ever give up on the most beautiful & solid thing you have got… Yourself.

Naturr versus Soul

#Nature… am not sure what to call you after I have truly met you. After I have fully connected to you. After I have fully built trust with you. Am not sure how to express my words to describe what I was capable to yet discover in you. Or how to express my ways of hearing you. Or how to express the images I see in you. I can only explain one thing clearly… That the humans Soul is very similar to you “to Nature”. Soul is just like you; only once truly discovered is highly valued & understood. That the soul also has a thousand colors, that soul also is a miracle, that the soul also is magnificent. That the soul also can be explored & found in a way that it can never be explained in words. So put me in the middle of nature & let my soul get lost in it until it is found again… found in a very new way.

“Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.” #Rumi

  

If I want to get an image of a tattoo engraved into my body…

If I want to get an image of a tattoo engraved into my body, I will choose the image of water. That is an image of nothing but movement with a peaceful sound. I choose water to remind me of purity, my real reflection before mixing it with anything else, because water never stops moving until it is mixed with solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of clarity and transparency, because water is always crystal clear and transparent until it is mixed with solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of freshness, my peace of mind before allowing all thoughts to enter like solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of satisfaction, my real self before allowing thirst and desire to enter like solid and dirt. I choose water because it reminds me that I was once born just like water, and I can always be reminded by my pure existence, I choose water to remember how to deal with others around me, to be just like water, a pure reflection with soft movement and a peaceful sound. I choose water because it is what I like to remind myself with every minute of my being, to remember to be like water; before I think, I speak or I act, and this is the tattoo I would like to engrave into my body only it has no image and it never stops moving and will always have a graceful sound.

A message of Love; from what have inspired me the past week.

I was inspired to read a couple of beautiful statuses from Friends and Pages of people I follow on facebook. Words of love from people welcoming the Holly month of Ramadan, words of Love to remind us that Ramadan is not only about fasting from food, but also fasting from the self. It is about Forgiveness and about Love. It is about asking those you have been mistaken with in your life to forgive you, and being Thankful and grateful to those and for those who have been the light of love in your life.

So I am taking this chance, to thank my friends and thank the people who are worth following and reading their posts. Thank you for inspiring me to write this post, for reminding me to feel the need to ask for forgiveness and to send my gratitude, and for being contagious in wanting to share this post on my blog and my facebook wall.

To those, I have been mistaken with, or I have hurt, even if for very little, I am sorry. I might have done it on purpose and I might have no idea that I did hurt you at all. Either way I hope you can forgive me. Forgive me, if I have been wrong, or if I have caused any ache in your heart or life.

To those who have shown me the smallest sparks of love and to those who shower me with love, Thank you. I will InshAlla include you in my every day prayer during the month of Ramadan, and I will send my gratitude to God for bringing you to my life. I am grateful for the love you have given me. I am grateful to meet you, to know you and to receive love from you. I pray that I am also a ray of love in your life.

This is a message of love before the first day of the Holly month of Ramadan. It is a message I wish to share to express that this upcoming month, is a beautiful month, because it is an opportunity for all of us to reflect, to learn and to remember, that no matter how many times we trip, we get a new chance to try again. This is my chance to want to start a new page, a white page, where all I draw in the lives of those I stumble upon, hearts of love.

With love, have a wonderful month of Ramadan, wherever you are.

Few things I have learnt this week…

Whatever you have in mind – forget it. Whatever you have in your hand – Give it. Whatever is to be your fate – Face it. – Sufi Proverb

Jerusalem-Villages-Palestine-Israel-69 I also found this beautiful letter:

Dear Woman, Sometimes, you’ll just be too much woman. Too smart, too beautiful, too strong. Too much of something, that makes a man feel less like a man, what will make you feel less like a woman. The biggest mistake you can make, is removing Jewels from your crown, to make it easier for a man to carry. When this happens, I want you to understand, you do not need a smaller crown, You need a man with bigger hands.

My hat’s off to the one behind the above words…. And to all the men and women out there. Be who you are, and choose the person to complete you, to help you be more of who you are as you help them be more of who they are. Don’t choose someone who cheats you.

Jerusalem-Villages-Palestine-Israel-47 Last but not least…

When you let go of the wrong things, you give God a chance to put the right things into place.

Enjoy your week, look out for the jewels that are hidden around for you to find and collect, find them, share them, and cherish them. 

Motive of the day: You never know, maybe the changes are better for you…

We start and end at starting lines. Every second is a new starting line. We can choose to start or end as we go. We can change directions, we can try different roads, we can always return or drive back, but we can not guarantee finding things to remain the same. And sometimes they can be even better than before. We can not expect. We can not overpower ourselves to what is unknown, this will always lead us to disappointment. We must give up all expectations and demands to life, we should ask with kindness, look with hope, accept with compassion. Whenever it is hard we later reach a point we feel blessed & grateful. So stop wasting ur time just standing there where u r… Move forward, or backward, try different things until things work out for you, don’t be too fixed with one thought. Be open to things that might be even much better. 

Motive of the day, Everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories… So, speak words of wisdom.

The universe is one being. Everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation. Do no harm, practice compassion. And do not gossip behind anyone’s back, not even seemingly innocent remark. The words that come out of mouths, do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space, and they will come back to us in due time. One man’s pain will hurt us all. One man’s joy will make everyone smile.

The Sufi mystic & Islamic scholar Jalal ad-Din Rumi – Rule#26 from the book 40 Rules of love by Elif Shafak

Sometimes, we have things to say, but we stop realizing the difference between an unclear image of thoughts and a message that we wish to deliver. Thoughts are not always accurate, they are not always true, they are not always honest. They can deceive us, sometimes, and sometimes, they can move us, change us, make us and break us. So when you have thoughts, let them swim. Let the waves of your thoughts move freely into the shapes they wish to take or form. Forget about time, on your wall or in your pocket. Let go of fake deadlines, and limits that only you are setting for yourself. Do not feel pressured or pursued to answer, speak or explain when you are still uncertain of the words you wish to use, meanings you wish to explain, stories you need to tell. Say what feels right at the very right time, just be honest with yourself, say that you have no answer when you are not certain, say you are not ready to explain because you still have meanings missing. When did it become a requirement for us to all have answers to each and every question we are asked. It truly makes a big difference when you speak with clarity, speak with a positive message, speak with a convinced tone of voice, speak with a comfortable smile, speak with a spark, when you speak only words of wisdom.

 

A piece of advice for a happier Sunday

In tune with your yourself, filling yourself with love, this is when nothing can distract you.

If you are in tune with yourself, if you are so well self-connected and self-contained with pure serenity and happiness, filling yourself with love and admiration, feeling spiritually connected in a rhythm, this is when nothing can distract you or take away your essence of tuning.

The moon just keeps shinning

On a moonlight night what does the moon in the mansion of stars care for the dogs and their barking?

The dog is doing his job; the moon is smoothly fulfilling her task by means of her bright countenance.

Does the dog’s barking ever reach the moon’s ear, especially that moon divinely appointed?

The king drinks wine on the bank of the stream till dawn, and enthralled in the music is unaware of the croaking of frogs.
