Spiritual Progress

It is indeed a blessing of good karma to be on the spiritual path. While we can progress well in our meditation practice to realise certain spiritual experiences, it is more important to habitualise the virtues in our everyday life. All other people need to do is to look at our behaviour to determine whether we are genuine spiritual practitioners or not. It is no point being able to attain high meditative states of inner peace, tranquility & emptiness if we do not exhibit such a calm disposition in our dealing with people and situations outside of our meditative mode operating in the mundane world.   

Be Your Own Fortune Teller

Trust your gut feel. Chart your own destiny. Do not be easily misled into believing that other people can read your life destiny, especially from dubious characters that pose as "credible" soothsayers or fortune tellers. There is no point trying to know about your past or predict your future. The best insurance you can have right now is to plant a good seed so as to reap a good harvest in the future. It could well manifest tomorrow or even in your next life time, nobody knows for sure. Therefore continue doing good and avoiding evil, and leave the rest to the law of karma to take effect.

Associating with the right company

It is very important to associate yourself with the right group of friends as they can strongly influence you in the right or wrong ways. There are two types of friends - true friends are wise & learned people; false friends can only lead you into ruins. Look out for the three characteristics of a good friend, which are those people with good thoughts, good speech, and good actions. On the other hand, associating with false friends can bring you serious trouble, or at the very least, your failure and wasted time & effort in dealing with them.  

Seek Your Own Inner Peace

The less you respond to rude, toxic, argumentative people, the better it is for you because the more peaceful your life will be. But first, you must first find your own inner peace & harmony. And your inner peace cannot be dependent on external situations or people as they are subject to impermanence, unsatisfactory nature, and non-self.  If you cannot find inner peace within yourself, you cannot find it anywhere else.

Cutting Unauthorised Energy Cords

We often form energy cords linking ourselves to other people when we think of them. These energy cords link our chakras to the corresponding chakras of another person. Conversely, when other people think of you, they also form unauthorised energy linkage to our corresponding chakras. Cut any unauthorised cords from your chakras as often as you like. Do it everyday in order to avoid being drained or contaminated. Cut them at your backhead chakra, spleen chakra, solar plexus chakra and sex chakra etc. Use visualization techniques during meditation or simply project divine energy to your hand & fingers to cut the cords. Remember, you are just cutting the cords and not the relationship !!! 

Light Versus Dark

There are four types of people as depicted in the above diagram. The best is the first type of people who are born in the light and go to the light. This is largely possible due to their past and present good karma which enable them to be born in a good environment to develop virtues and pursue the spiritual path. It is also important to have good friends around as a positive influence. Else, one might easily be influenced by bad or evil "friends" to go towards the dark side, even if one were to be born in the light.        

Addiction to technology

Many people seem to be totally dependent on technology today. While it is good to be tech savvy and make use of technology to improve the quality of our lives, we have to be aware and beware of the dangers of over-relying on them. Else, we end up being too overly dependent on them, to the point of being too strongly attached to our smartphones, and addicted to them. All we have to do is to look around at people and most of them will be occupied looking at their little screens. It just makes me   wonder whether there are indeed technology elementals or entities around !
