A Penny 4 Your Thoughts...

I Think Therefore I am!
I believe it's not wrong to make mistakes. It's wrong if you can't learn from them. My belief is to never intentionally cause any harm, grief or pain to anyone.
We cannot expect Perfection, and if we expect perfection then we are living in a world that does not exist. Relationships and friendships are things that we need to constantly work at and cultivate, for a garden that is not cultivated soon fills with weeds. Hair that is not combed becomes full of knots.

If people would stop for a moment and search deeper to understand that negative forces of energy drive negative responses, Which will, in return, produce negative situations. Therefore, positive responses such as understanding and forgiveness, give you the ability to accept and move on. You can overcome all of the negative aspects around you by trusting and having faith. Peace within yourself isn't something you can prove it is something within your heart, and within your soul.

We need to know more about ourselves, about the human mind-about our creative, spiritual and intellectual potential. Visionary thinkers give us universities and colleges to study everything in the world, such as space, galaxies, atoms, oceans and seas, but there is one thing they forgot, this is the least know and least understood of all, that is ourselves.

We need to know and understand who we are, what we are, and what is the purpose of our existence. We need to learn the science of ourselves, our creativity, spirituality, our processes of thinking and knowing, our purpose on earth and the nature of our destiny.

I dare you to study yourself, this is not the traditional remembering and repeating of information. There are no assignments, no papers or examinations. I want you to study yourself through Imagination and self examination, then see if you can find out who you really are.

Learning comes through meditative study and internalization of ideas so that these become part of one's own thinking and consequent actions. In this way, new knowledge leads to self-transcendence into advanced, creative modes of thinking and living.

WHAT IS MEANT BY SELF-TRANSCENDENCE?
When viewed from a cosmic perspective, life is a great adventure. Ours is a dynamic, creating universe. Life is not static, but ever-moving, ever-changing, ever-transforming, cyclic in seasons and cyclic in life patterns. We know who we are, when we are in touch with the spiritual center of our being, we no longer view ourselves as "victims" of an outer world over which we have no control. Unfolding our understanding from within, we KNOW ourselves as dynamic thinking "co-creators" of our world and our own destiny. We become aware of our inherent genius, be it practical or artistic. We understand ourselves as part of the dynamic, indestructible Life Force of Creation. We become creative participators in life, find the meaning of life, and discover our role in the adventure and drama of living.

We see ourselves with fresh vision, in a different light. With strong desire to develop and grow, we become partners in the holistic experience of an integrated world in which we may consciously evolve to experience greater understanding, joy in creative action, and happiness in our participatory experiencing and ordering of our world. Education, from the Latin educere, means to "draw forth from within," "to lead out." Self examination in this sense of the word, resulting in the self-transcendence that comes through choice-the choice of conscious learning and growth towards understanding and enlightenment in action.

There is a golden thread of fundamental Universal Truth woven throughout all the ancient teachings of the world, and through their modern counterparts and enlightened interpretations. Imagination expounds Universal Fundamental Truth and the Law of Rhythmic Balanced Interchange in terms of philosophy in ACTION. Ethics is the science of conduct, and to know the nature of the Law of Balance is to understand the unity of all things and the cause and effect nature of existence.

A self examination demands that we look within to centering "cause" rather than outwardly to the sensed world of "effect." Through understanding "cause," and through becoming consciously aware of working with centering Cause, the joy of CO-creatively ordering and living one's life "cosmically from the mind" turns life the into an experience of meaning and beauty.
