Core Purity

 

Throughout life we carry within us a natural state of core purity – a sense of pristine clarity and stillness that is ethical and compassionate. In purpose this pureness guides us like an internal compass that triggers questions, especially when an imbalance or unexpected event arises. Though this virtue is a natural presence, noticing it and taking joy from it will empower you, your purpose and the direction you pursue. Purity is yours in daily life; it gives a sense of understanding and calmness as it filters through the body, mind and soul like the sunlight dancing on the green leaves of spring.

The purity of many is a profound revolution! However, living a falseness is damaging to the innate purity of which we are born! Being less than honest with yourself weakens your core purity. Feel the difference between right and wrong. Speak the gentle and honest truth. There has to be balance; you can’t conceal the problems of others (they must face this on their own), you can’t help everyone if you need time to help yourself, you cannot stay were love has deserted you, If you have something to say or some damaging guilt that clings to you – let it out or banish it! Mistakes and accidents are nothing new, just another learning curve. You are here on this earth to live, learn, love, create and explore with the purity and confidence to delight in the journey.

Try this Active Meditation (gentle contemplative meditation where thoughts and inspirations are most welcome). Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and think of as many pure, pristine, transparent and beautiful things as possible.
Read through the list before the meditation, then close your eyes and breathe in purity and exhale between each contemplative suggestion – what you can remember. Try some gentle relaxing music (instrumental).

·        Watch the sun rise over the land giving life to all.

·        See the trails which lead people from darkness to clarity.

·        See vibrant waterfalls flowing.

·        See wrongs made right.

·        Delight at the first blooms of spring, or the autumn’s amber fall.

·        See the way your mind works.

·        Breathe the crisp mountain air while you view nature’s glory.

·        Rejoice at a good harvest.

·        Marvel at the compassion of your heart.

·        Watch the flight of birds or fish jumping from the water.

·        See love bloom.

·        Feel the warmth of the sand and the gentle waves of the beach.

·        Rejoice as your children celebrate their rights of passage.

·        See the pure faces that light your world.

·        Watch the moon make its many phases and the glow of the stars.

·        Discover the purity that makes your life energetic and inspirational.

Write down any important thoughts or visions.
Living, understanding and feeling your core purity is a substantial achievement. Purity is needed for the growth of the planet – overcrowding causes desperation and the destructive greed that turns the wholesome mind to darker creativities. Temptations will be offered and the decisions are yours, but hopefully the pure mind will prevail. Live a pure life with healthy food, fresh air, simple philosophies, good family and friends, a clear mind, and something to work towards – and all is well!

Nurturing Female Rule, No. 53

Image
Should mothers rule Earth? Would wise, nurturing, intelligent, multi-tasking diplomats bring peaceful results to inter-country communications? Could less aggressive leadership be the answer to the world’s problems? The death and assault of civilians in war ravaged countries is unacceptable in times when war should be in decline, something abhorrent to the thoughts of modern humanity. Have world leaders learned from the misery and suffering of previous battles? Why does it take so long to remove unstable aggressive leaders who rule way past there term of office and rig elections. Countries may go to war to protect the innocent, though there are often hidden motives and deals done. It has been said that the preparation for war boosts economies and innovation, but that is a heavy price to pay for so many deaths. Who gets to decide – who lives and who dies? Is male leadership along with egocentric behaviour the spark that ignited most historic and current conflicts? Aggressive to...

Women’s Rights via Revolution, No 71

Image
  The breadcrumbs of misogyny are easily seen in a history of women’s suffering and denial of rights. Patriarchal religious societies that purposely put men first for at least two thousand years are now witnessing its noxious failure. Corrupt governments that are self-focused are quickly measured by angry public sentiment. Governments without gender balance have become dens of mistrust. Lack of respect towards women in male dominated workplaces can be uncomfortable or become dangerous. Systemic sexism developed slowly; its design seeping toxically through millennia and distorting daily life. Parent’s desires to have boys, because they could work and support their parents in retirement and carry on the family name, only added to social attitudes towards girls and women. Words and language used to restrict or belittle females flourished in older writings where they were often portrayed in extremes for their value as virgin brides, harlots, mothers or Saints. Women’s education was...

Fatherhood, a Century of Change, No. 49

Image
The changing role of fathers as parents has brought dramatic differences to the family unit with a century. During the difficult war years and great depression men kept their emotions hidden in order to portray certain strengths of character and calm. They were told that men don’t cry even though they had witnesses many horrors and heartaches – their role as head of the household was to be invincible and ever-strong in front of their families. This restrictive rhetoric led many to self-imposed emotional prisons, where escapism often led to substance abuse. This created an invisible wall that partially separated families from really knowing each other at a deeper level. The pressures of fatherhood were demanding as many struggled to find the steady work needed to support large families. People had a standard role of what they should be doing in society whether they liked it or not, though change evolved and some broke through the stereotypes. The more prosperous 1950’s had a fi...
