The Happiest Man on Earth

Matthieu Ricard was born in France in 1946. The son of famous French Philosopher Jean-François Revel and painter Yahne Le Toumelin, he grew up amongst the French elite. He studied biology and had a promising career when, in 1972, after completing his doctoral thesis in molecular genetics, Ricard decided to forsake his scientific career to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. He moved to the Tibetan Himalayas and has been living there since then. Since 1989, he has been the French interpreter for HH the Dalai Lama.

He was nicknamed “the happiest man on earth”, after he participated in a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin that aimed at evaluating the level of happiness of individuals, amongst which were Buddhist monks.  The test that used 256 sensors attached to the skull, and three hours of continuous MRI scanning, showed that Ricard’s happiness level was far above all other participants. That same study also proved the neuroplasticity of the brain demonstrating that meditation can play a key role in anybody’s quest for happiness, by restructuring the brain’s neurons.

Ricard has written several books. Amongst others: Happiness: A guide to developing life’s most important skill, in which he gives advice on how to live a happy life.  One of the most important aspect of his teachings is that, as you can train your body, he believes you can also train your mind. For that reason, happiness is a skill that everyone can develop.

For him, at the source of unhappiness, there are feelings of jealousy, anger, obsessive desire and arrogance.

Since all of these emotions are fleeting and transient, it is possible to prevent them from invading your mind and tormenting you.

How do you do that?  First, by not responding to the emotion.  If you feed the emotion, it will most likely grow.  However, you cannot deny it either.  You need to look at the emotion and let it dissolve.   By repeatedly practicing that technique, he believes that negative emotions can flow through you “as a bird crosses the sky and disappears” and therefore not affect your well-being.

According to Ricard, behind every thought lies what he calls pure consciousness.  Through love, kindness, benevolence, selfless generosity and compassion, and obviously through the practice of meditation, it is possible to access that pure consciousness and flourish.

When speaking of happiness, Ricard refers to the Sanskrit word for this state of being: sukha.

“Sukha is the state of lasting well-being that manifests itself when we have freed ourselves of mental blindness and afflictive emotions. It is also the wisdom that allows us to see the world as it is, without veils or distortions. It is, finally, the joy of moving toward inner freedom and the loving-kindness that radiates toward others.”

This is what Ricard says about happiness or well-being:

“It seems that no one wakes up in the morning thinking, "May I suffer the whole day?" Which means that somehow -- consciously or not, directly or indirectly, in the short or the long term, whatever we do, whatever we hope, whatever we dream -- somehow, is related to a deep, profound desire for well-being or happiness. If you look in the literature, East and West, you can find an incredible diversity of definitions of happiness. Some people say: I only believe in remembering the past, imagining the future, never the present. Some people say: Happiness is right now; it's the quality of the freshness of the present moment. And that led to Henri Bergson, the French philosopher, to say, "All the great thinkers of humanity have left happiness in the vague so that each of them could define their own terms."

 

Well, that would be fine if it was just a secondary preoccupation in life. But now, if it is something that is going to determine the quality of every instant of our life, then we better know what it is, have some clearer idea. And probably, the fact that we don't know, that is why, so often, although we seek happiness, it seems we turn our back to it. Although we want to avoid suffering, it seems we are running somewhat towards it. And that can also come from some kind of confusions.

 

One of the most common ones is happiness and pleasure. But, if you look at the characteristics of those two, pleasure is contingent upon time, upon its object, upon the place. It is something that  changes. Beautiful chocolate cake: first serving is delicious, second one not so much, then we feel disgust. That's the nature of things. We get tired. 

I used to be a fan of Bach. I used to play it on the guitar, you know. I can hear it two, three, five times. If I had to hear it 24 hours, non-stop, it might be very tiring. If you are feeling very cold, you come near a fire, it's so wonderful. Then, after some moments, you just go a little back, and then it starts burning. It sort of uses itself as you experience it. It is not something that is radiating outside. Like, you can feel intense pleasure and some others around you can be suffering a lot.

 

Now, what, then, will be happiness? And happiness, of course, is such a vague word, so let's say well-being. And so, I think the best definition, according to the Buddhist view, is that well-being is not just a mere pleasurable sensation. It is a deep sense of serenity and fulfillment, a state that actually pervades and underlies all emotional states, and all the joys and sorrows that can come one's way. For you, that might be surprising. Can we have this kind of well-being while being sad? In a way, why not? Because we are speaking of a different level.

 

Look at the ocean waves coming to shore. When you are at the bottom of the wave, you hit the bottom. You hit the solid rock. When you are surfing on the top, you are all elated. So you go from elation to depression -- there's no depth. Now, if you look at the high sea, there might be a beautiful, calm ocean, like a mirror. There might be storms, but the depth of the ocean is still there, unchanged. So now, how is that? It can only be a state of being, not just a fleeting emotion, sensation. Even joy -- that can be the spring of happiness. But there's also wicked joy, you can rejoice in someone's suffering.

 

So how do we proceed in our quest for happiness? Very often, we look outside. We think that if we could gather this and that, all the conditions, something that we say, "Everything to be happy -- to have everything to be happy." That very sentence already reveals the doom of destruction of happiness. To have everything. If we miss something, it collapses. And also, when things go wrong, we try to fix the outside so much, but our control of the outer world is limited, temporary, and often, illusory. So now, look at inner conditions. Aren't they stronger? Isn't it the mind that translates the outer condition into happiness and suffering? And isn't that stronger? We know, by experience, that we can be what we call "a little paradise," and yet, be completely unhappy within.

 

The Dalai Lama was once in Portugal, and there was a lot of construction going on everywhere. So one evening, he said, "Look, you are doing all these things, but isn't it nice, also, to build something within?" And he said, "Unless that -- even you get high-tech flat on the 100th floor of a super-modern and comfortable building, if you are deeply unhappy within, all you are going to look for is a window from which to jump." So now, at the opposite, we know a lot of people who, in very difficult circumstances, manage to keep serenity, inner strength, inner freedom, confidence. So now, if the inner conditions are stronger -- of course, the outer conditions do influence, and it's wonderful to live longer, healthier, to have access to information, education, to be able to travel, to have freedom. It's highly desirable. However, this is not enough. Those are just auxiliary, help conditions. The experience that translates everything is within the mind. So then, when we ask oneself how to nurture the condition for happiness, the inner conditions, and which are those which will undermine happiness. So then, this just needs to have some experience.

  

We have to know from ourselves, there are certain states of mind that are conducive to this flourishing, to this well-being, what the Greeks called "eudaimonia", flourishing. There are some which are adverse to this well-being. And so, if we look from our own experience, anger, hatred, jealousy, arrogance, obsessive desire, strong grasping, they don't leave us in such a good state after we have experienced it. And also, they are detrimental to others' happiness. So we may consider that the more those are invading our mind, and, like a chain reaction, the more we feel miserable, we feel tormented. At the opposite, everyone knows deep within that an act of selfless generosity, if from the distance, without anyone knowing anything about it, we could save a child's life, make someone happy. We don't need the recognition. We don't need any gratitude. Just the mere fact of doing that fills such a sense of connection with our deep nature. And we would like to be like that all the time.

 

So is that possible, to change our way of being, to transform one's mind? Aren't those negative emotions, or destructive emotions, inherent to the nature of mind? Is change possible in our emotions, in our traits, in our moods? For that we have to ask, what is the nature of mind? And if we look from the experiential point of view, there is a primary quality of consciousness that's just the mere fact to be cognitive, to be aware.

 Consciousness is like a mirror that allows all images to rise on it. You can have ugly faces, beautiful faces in the mirror. The mirror allows that, but the mirror is not tainted, is not modified, is not altered by those images. Likewise, behind every single thought there is the bare consciousness, pure awareness. This is the nature. It cannot be tainted intrinsically with hatred or jealousy because, then, if it was always there -- like a dye that would permeate the whole cloth -- then it would be found all the time, somewhere. We know we're not always angry, always jealous, always generous.

 

So, because the basic fabric of consciousness is this pure cognitive quality that differentiates it from a stone, there is a possibility for change because all emotions are fleeting. That is the ground for mind training. Mind training is based on the idea that two opposite mental factors cannot happen at the same time. You could go from love to hate. But you cannot, at the same time, toward the same object, the same person, want to harm and want to do good. You cannot, in the same gesture, shake hand and give a blow. So, there are natural antidotes to emotions that are destructive to our inner well-being. So that's the way to proceed. Rejoicing compared to jealousy. A kind of sense of inner freedom as opposite to intense grasping and obsession. Benevolence, loving kindness against hatred. But, of course, each emotion then would need a particular antidote.

 

Another way is to try to find a general antidote to all emotions, and that's by looking at the very nature. Usually, when we feel annoyed, hatred or upset with someone, or obsessed with something, the mind goes again and again to that object. Each time it goes to the object, it reinforces that obsession or that annoyance. So then, it's a self-perpetuating process. So what we need to look now is, instead of looking outward, we look inward. Look at anger itself. It looks very menacing, like a billowing monsoon cloud or thunderstorm. But we think we could sit on the cloud -- but if you go there, it's just mist. Likewise, if you look at the thought of anger, it will vanish like frost under the morning sun. If you do this again and again, the propensity, the tendencies for anger to arise again will be less and less each time you dissolve it. And, at the end, although it may rise, it will just cross the mind, like a bird crossing the sky without leaving any track. So this is the principal of mind training.

 

Now, it takes time because we -- it took time for all those faults in our mind, the tendencies, to build up, so it will take time to unfold them as well. But that's the only way to go.

Now about brain plasticity.  All the nominal connections, in numbers and quantities, were thought -- until the last 20 years -- thought to be more or less fixed when we reached adult age. Now, recently, it has been found that it can change a lot. A violinist, as we heard, who has done 10,000 hours of violin practice, some area that controls the movements of fingers in the brain change a lot, increasing reinforcement of the synaptic connections. So can we do that with human qualities? With loving kindness, with patience, with openness?

So that's what those great meditators have been doing. Some of them who came to the labs, like in Madison, Wisconsin, or in Berkeley, did 20 to 40,000 hours of meditation. They do, like, three years' retreat, where they do meditate 12 hours a day. And then, the rest of their life, they will do that three or four hours a day. They are real Olympic champions of mind training. This is the place where the meditators -- you can see it's kind of inspiring. Now, here with 256 electrodes.

We asked meditators, who have been doing that for years and years and years, to put their mind in a state where there's nothing but loving kindness, total availability to sentient beings. Of course, during the training, we do that with objects. We think of people suffering, we think of people we love, but at some point, it can be a state which is all pervading. Here is the preliminary result, which I can show because it's already been shown. The bell curve shows 150 controls, and what is being looked at is the difference between the right and the left frontal lobe. In very short, people who have more activity in the right side of the prefrontal cortex are more depressed, withdrawn. They don't describe a lot of positive affect. It's the opposite on the left side: more tendency to altruism, to happiness, to express, and curiosity and so forth. So there's a basic line for people. And also, it can be changed. If you see a comic movie, you go off to the left side. If you are happy about something, you'll go more to the left side. If you have a bout of depression, you'll go to the right side. Here, the -0.5 is the full standard deviation of a meditator who meditated on compassion. It's something that is totally out of the bell curve.

 

So the whole point of that is not, sort of, to make, like, a circus thing of showing exceptional beings who can jump, or whatever. It's more to say that mind training matters. That this is not just a luxury. This is not a supplementary vitamin for the soul. This is something that's going to determine the quality of every instant of our lives. We are ready to spend 15 years achieving education. We love to do jogging, fitness. We do all kinds of things to remain beautiful. Yet, we spend surprisingly little time taking care of what matters most -- the way our mind functions -- which, again, is the ultimate thing that determines the quality of our experience.”

11.11.11 The Day of Celestial Victory

The Earth is going through important changes. I could feel a wave of new energy descending in the last few weeks, awakening the divinity within all of us, which is actually our real essence. This energy opens our hearts towards unconditional love, happiness and freedom. It's time for all people on our planet to rejoice, because the changes which are about to come in the next years will be spectacular. The shift of energy taking place right now will bring our Planet Earth to a higher level of vibration, through the understanding of each one of us of our divine essence, of our spiritual bond, of our oneness, as members of the same planetary and universal family. The Golden Age of humanity is about to begin and we are the first to take active part in this change.

Today I want to share with you some of these ideas about the energy shift which is taking place on our planet.

This following information about 11.11.11 was provided by Astrologist Rodica Purniche from Romania:

The numbers represent one of the most mysterious notions which define our lives. Manifested through only 10 aspects, they generate an infinity of visible and subtle possibilities in our world and the Universe. The synchronicities, repetitions and analogies will always attract our attention, because they warn us upon some manifestations of the cosmic energies which help our spiritual evolution.

11.11.2011 is considered one of the 12 possible numerical identities which can be observed at the beginning of every century.

11.11.11 is influenced primarily by the Planet Mars, the only planet which changes its zodiacal sign, right before sunrise, switching from Leo to Virgo. The event is of much more importance, because Mars is in perfect conjunction with the fixed star Regulus, which is placed at 29 degrees in Leo, so very close to Virgo. This conjunction started at the beginning of the celebration of the Holy Archangels, which is celebrated in the Christian tradition between November 8th and November 13th, having a maximum on November 11th.
In the Christian tradition it is said that during the Days of the Holy Archangels, the Holy Archangel Michael sends the Summer back and brings into manifestation the Winter. The Archangels are also considered the ones who bring the greatest and the most mysterious revelations to people.
On November 11th it is celebrated the day of the great Saint Mina, which is the one who uncovers the bad actions of the thieves.

Astrologically speaking, the period between November 9th and November 13th, the Planet Mars is in perfect conjunction with the fixed star Regulus. It is considered that when a planet passes through the trajectory of a fixed star, the planet becomes an open channel for a huge energy, which accelerates the emergence of that fixed star energy to us. Regulus is part of the four "royal stars" from the Persian tradition: Aldebaran (Gemini), Antares (Sagittarius), Fomalhaut (Pisces), known as the "four keepers of the Sky". They are the "thrones" of the four Holy Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel: Aldebaran is the throne of Archangel Michael, to the East, Regulus is the throne of Archangel Raphael, to the North, Antares is the throne of Archangel Uriel to the West and Fomalhaut is the throne of Archangel Gabriel to the South.
Regulus is called by the Babylonians “The King”, by the Persians “The Center” and in the Medieval times it was called “Lion’s Heart” or “Sun’s House”. It is 155 times more brilliant than the Sun. The passing of the Planet Mars close to Regulus and the activation of its energy, takes place during the Archangel’s days. Their influence amplifies the physical and mental healing and sustains the efforts of those perseverant in their aspiration to unite with God and evolve spiritually.
Due to the Law of Resonance, the activation of one fixed star makes the other stars to vibrate in unison and together with the influence of Planet Mars. The power of Archangel Michael adds to the healing power of Archangel Raphael. All these forces together will generate a major, planetary influence for the moral and spiritual healing of our entire planet. On November 11 it is said that a lot of energetic portals are opened, in other words, the skies are opening to let the Divine energies bestow upon us and also bring the Divine justice on the planet.

On the day of 11.11.11, all our prayers are answered. It’s a good day for meditation and introspection.


And more about 11.11.11 from Lauren Gorgo's website "Think With Your Heart":
11/11/11
“The moment that each of you have been waiting for, the moment that we have termed “inception” is approaching. This is heralded by the massive energies precipitated by the opening of the 11:11 stargate portal on 11/11/11. What this means for the way-showers is monumental, for it is this group who will be physically laying the template on earth for all other inhabitants to follow.” -PHC
Last month, on 9/10/11, our bio-circuitry was apparently rebooted. We had undergone an immense (read: grueling) upgrade during the summer months from that obnoxious triple eclipse sandwich that shook every one of us to the core…and then in September, Mother-Father God pushed the divine-human reset button to start-up our new operating system. Most likely you slept thru this the way we slept thru most of September…actually, now that I think about it, you may not even remember September.
Well, whatever… definitely not the first month we’ve slept away… tho prayerfully our last? Either way, now that we have been upgraded & rebooted we are reorienting ourselves aaaagain and that always means the usual cellular changes (read: fatigue), most of which this time relates to our newly downloaded programming that includes the integrated understanding that every cell has intelligence. (more on this coming soon)
Our bio-circuitry is adjusting to incorporate and adapt to the new codes we are already receiving from the upcoming 11:11 stargate portal. The emanations sent forth by the great central sun are encoding our biology with new mandates, new directives and the Pleiadian High Council would like for us to know that the new human apparatus is well-equipped to handle these changes, however, it may be of benefit for those of who are experiencing great difficulty to embrace the many modalities available to us to assist in easing the transition on our bods, as well as to give a much-needed boost to our emotional and mental well-being.

And more from a message from Archangel Metatron channeled by Natalie Glasson:

The Earth has been entering and moving through major transitions but these transitions are
stepping up in speed and intensity as we draw closer to the energetic landmark of 11-11-11. You
may feel the energies powerfully even from the beginning of November right through to 2012
and beyond. You may notice two major shifts in energy that will gradually and smoothly come to
a climax. From November the energies anchoring into the Earth will become finer and lighter, it
will seem like a breath of fresh air, this may be recognised by everything flowing with a greater
ease, as if joints have been oiled. This change in energy will build and enhance climaxing
around the date of 11-11-11. You may then notice a new shift in energy which will activate on the
12th December 2011, will be increase on the 24th December 2011 and then will climax as the
new year of 2012 begins. There will be many other activations and energy waves which will be
ignited throughout the year of 2012 and beyond, these will be anchoring of a new foundation for
the Era of Love and so will predominantly consist of different vibrations of love merged with other
appropriate qualities. It is important to remember that when energies are anchored they are to
activate energies and consciousness within your being. Activations allow you to understand
more about the Creator’s energy and to aid your unity with the Creator. The recognition of
certain qualities is simply a process of exploration of the Creator’s light to aid a further
embodiment.

20 Secrets of Happiness

Some thoughts about happiness:

• Happiness is a state of mind, it doesn't reside in objects.
• Nobody can make you happy, except yourself!
• The fountain of happiness is inside of you. Don't try to find it outside. This search is in vane.
• The origin of stress is in your mind. Without the understanding and control of your mind, it's impossible to eliminate the stress.
• Nobody can make you unhappy, unless you allow them to.
• Happiness is measured by the spirit in which you face life's challenges.
• Happiness doesn't come when you do what you like, but when you like what you do.
• Happiness is like perfume: you can't pulverize it on others without being touched by few drops.
• The best way to stay happy is to make sure that others are happy as well.
• The tension and unhappiness are not objects, things or situations. They are our reactions generated by things and situations.
• Happiness doesn't mean the fulfillment of your desires, but the absence of desires.

20 Secrets of Happiness

1. Mental concentration

A powerful mind is not easily affected by the challenges of life. Mental concentration means to learn how to live in the present moment, which is the best way to reach happiness and success in life. 

2. Detachment and the ability to let go

Some people can concentrate and be absorbed completely during one activity, but it's hard for them to forget that activity when they start another one. We must remember that the only reason for various things, actions and events in our life is to give us the lessons and training necessary for our evolution. We must use them for our progress without attaching to them too much. It is said that" Although it's useful to remember sometimes, it's often wise to forget."

3. Planned thinking

Make sure that from time to time  your thinking is planned and structured and not chaotic.Chaotic thinking and dreaming with open eyes it's a sign of a weak mind. It shows that instead of controlling your subconscious mind, you are controlled by it. Your conscious mind should always stay active and alert, being in control over your subconscious mind. Make sure you keep only the thoughts you want to have in that moment.

4. Positive thinking

The way we think is the most important factor in building your personality and character. Make a habit in seeing the positive aspects of things and events, even in the most unhappy situations. Negative thinking weakens the mind, makes it agitated and impure. Having a positive thinking, you will attract always favorable conditions, through the law of resonance. Staying always positive, you will create an aura of good vibrations around you which is beneficent not only for you, but for people around you as well.

5. Take it easy

We use to take things too seriously. We should rather realize that there are no permanent difficulties or problems. All will pass some time sooner or later. Everything is changing. Nothing is static or permanent, including your problems.

6. There is a reason for everything, nothing is random

The Universe has a certain order and everything is linked through the law of cause and effect. For every effect there is a cause. Everything which happens today is there because you saw some seeds there in the past. Change your attitude towards the confrontation with various problems in life. Don't look at them like a burden which comes from nowhere. Look at them as modalities for progress and growth and stay focused in success/failure, gain/loss so that you stop another karmic link to create. The events in our life are not as important as our attitude towards them.

"The world is not good, not bad. It all depends by the way we react to it."

7. Silence, solitude and introspection

Try to make time every day for a silent, peaceful time and dedicate some time just for you. Through silence you preserve your mental energy. Talk only as much as it is necessary. Avoid gossip, arguments and useless conversations. There must be a reason and a sense in everything you say. A lot of mental energy is lost in useless discussions.

8. Conquer your fears

Fears are great consumers of mental energy and they are also major blockages for our progress. According to the Law of Attraction or The Law of Resonance, we attract in our life the things and situations which we are mostly afraid of. Keep in mind that there is nothing in this world you should be afraid of . No situation is ever as frightening and painful as our imagination makes out of it.

Confront every life challenge with a positive attitude and trust in yourself and God.

9. Don't maintain inferiority complexes. What others can do, so can you!

Many people have inferiority complexes, considering that they can't do what others do. They don't trust themselves. You must understand that the ultimate potential is the same for all of us.

Don't compare yourself with others and don't feel inferior or superior to others. In fact we are all One in essence!

10. When you are provoked, don't respond immediately

Every time when you feel troubled because of some unexpected problems or some bad remarks of others, avoid reacting immediately or respond to them. Wait a little, refrain to say or do something as long as the trouble still persists in your mind. It's better to leave that place and stay alone for few minutes, silently. Calm down and try to see the problem from all perspectives. If you need to respond, be polite and respectful.

11. Don't charge your subconscious with negative thoughts

Your subconscious mind is a huge deposit for your conscious mind. Everything you see, hear, think, feel and experiment is deposited here, as permanent memory. Together with the feelings and impressions we deposit negative emotions and feelings like hatred, jealousy, anger and others. The remedy is to send to your subconscious mind only positive emotions and thoughts. This will destroy the negative thoughts and emotions. The positive is always more powerful than the negative.

Remember that the source of troubles are not our actions but our reactions.

12. Be always optimistic

It doesn't matter how many times you failed in reaching a goal. It's important to stay positive and trustful in your success. There is no force which can stop you from reaching success, if you are dedicated to a noble cause.

Remember that no effort is in vane. Even if the situation seem to be a disaster, don't give up. Keep trying. You never know how close you are to success.

13. Learn to say NO

Your courage to say NO can save you from some unpleasant situations. You have an independent personality which can stand up like a rock if truth is on your side. Some people are afraid that if they say NO to a person, they will feel offended. But if that person has a negative attitude generally, she will see everything as negative, no matter what you would say. Instead of concentrating on others, it's better to concentrate upon what you are doing, seeing if that action is good or bad from the point of view of your spiritual evolution.

14. Be happy with the work you do and don't expect rewards

Learn to be happy with what you do. Don't expect the fruits or rewards for your actions. Just put love in what you do and when your work is done, move to the next one.

15. The more you give, the more you receive

There is a wonderful law which says that everything you give to others it will return to you double or triple, being knowledge or material things.

The law of giving says that if you give others knowledge, you will gain more knowledge. If you give others happiness, you will gain more happiness. Everything you give to others you receive back and everything you save for yourself, you will loose.

16. Avoid selfishness and reach to others

Give up the attitude of doing something just for your own comfort, pleasure or profit.

Remember that the best way to be happy is to make others happy.

You should work as the entire world will be much happier after your work and efforts are done. If you see others suffering you should have compassion in your heart and care for them. Look at other people's problems as your own, putting yourself in their place. In this way, your consciousness will expand towards the concept of universal family.

Always remember that in the happiness and fulfillment of others resides your own happiness and fulfillment. If your neighbor cries, you cannot be happy, despite all your riches.

17. Smile always

Try to keep a smile on your face when you walk, talk, sit down or stand up. This is the proof that you keep yourself in a positive attitude all the time.

18. Don't have expectations from others

Don't expect anything from others. Understand that when you help somebody, you help yourself as well. The person you offer your help to, gave you the opportunity to evolve spiritually in this way and you should be grateful for this. The help you are giving to someone comes from God. You are just an instrument through which that help is offered.Don't expect any recognition for something you do for others. If they thank you, be grateful. If they don't thank you, don't be upset. Be happy for everything you do, without expecting anything in return.

19. Give to the world more than you take from it

See The Beauty Within Yourself!

See the beauty within yourself

Your inner and outer beauty is breathtaking and awe inspiring. You're a perfect reflection of heaven's splendor, and everything about you is radiant. If you could see yourself through the eyes of us angels, you'd feel the rapture that we enjoy in your presence.

Your entire being is a creation of the Divine Maker, so how could you be anything but glorious? You were made by the One Who designed gorgeous flowers, sunsets, mountains, birds and lakes. Your blueprint is just as perfect as anything else in God's Kingdom.

As you relax with the realisation of your Divine perfection, any memory of perceived flaws fades into the background. Your self-image is healed as you fall back in love with yourself and come to cherish as much as God does.

You and every being on this planet are magnificent. Today, see this for yourself. Open your heart, eyes, and mind to experience the profound depth of beauty that is everywhere.

I honor the Divinity in you! Namaste!

With love,

Delia
