Perhaps you can start looking at everything that is going right with your life and draw your inspiration from that. You have great kids, a good job etc. Perhaps you could come together as a family unit to figure out how to lower your bills and help each other through the difficult times. Sticking through this will make your family bond stronger for sure!! The past and future dont have any bearing on your present! Enjoy your life in the present and the beauty that you do have currently!

One would be hard pressed to find one “I” in Dr. Chopra’s responses.

Make of that what you will.

15 references to the illusory “I”.

Did Yogananda teach you this too?

Go within. The answer is there. Don’t take counsel of your fears. Deepak says that if you asked a Shaman she would advise you that the answer to your fears are inside. Continue to meditate and put an intention out into the Universe.

“search for the answers that feel right”
a powerful idea to teach. I like it! JT

When my son was 12 years old he asked me, mom, why does the bible say we have to fear God….?
You see, he had gone to his friend’s church where the priest had mentioned the fear of God. My son was puzzled and could not understand why he had to fear God, if God is love?
I went to my dictionary and together my son and I looked up the word fear. There was more then one definition of fear…
Fear-1- to have a referential awe of-
Fear-2-to be afraid of-
Then we looked up the word referential and awe
Referential- 1-expressing a quality of reverence 2- inspiring reverence
Awe-wonder that is inspired, sacred or sublime
We looked up reverence for more clarity …..
Reverence- honor or respect felt or shown…..
We then reviewed the meaning of God again ……God is all Good, God is love…..
We started putting it all together…Love and goodness felt and shown, is what we came up with
I asked my son are you afraid of love? He said no. I then asked are you afraid of being good? He said no….
Then I said to my son, do you feel wonderful and happy when you think of love, show love and feel love in your heart….he said yes…..I said that is the real meaning of Fear God……
I told him that fearing God is very misunderstood in our world and that he may want to “show” those who are afraid, the real meaning of Fear God., so many people think they have to be afraid of God, it’s not true, I told him, …as that would be like saying you have to be afraid of love, or afraid of being good…..I then asked my son, does feeling love in your heart and being good make you afraid? He said no, I asked him, doesn’t it feel right to have a feeling of love in your heart, and doesn’t it feel right to be good, and show goodness in loving ways, and doesn’t that make you happy, he said yes it does mom, it really does, as his eyes lit up in awe…….
I then told my son it is always best to search for the answers that feel right, and that match with the love and goodness that is in your heart already—–God is love, and you my son, are God’s reflection in this world, and it is wonderful to live and have reverence and awe for God’s goodness within you…..
We never have to be afraid of God, God is the love that we feel, share and show to the world, the very love that lives it’s being in you, is God.. May every man have the wonder, reverence and awe of God within them….and show it to the entire world……Yes Fear God……my son….

This is a true story between my son Scott and I…
He has grown to be one who Fears God….and brings much joy to others..

Love,
Gyanama

Lol, since I have this netbook I make typing mistakes, there should be an ‘h’after W in the first word and a “t” before ‘he’in the second sentence.
Sorry 🙂

Guess Twitter is even more difficult lol

Wat a profound experience.

We all get our share of this in our lifes and he lessons to learn from it.

We more or less are our own hero or heroine in the labyrinth of our lives, knowing deep inside that we always end up in the middle of it.

To know know know You, is to Love Love Love you 🙂

This too happened to me and things got bad. I lost faith in God, family, people, and finally myself. There were some very dark years. I finally reached the point where I was hanging in the balance between life and death. I realized all this misery was simply a test. How was I going to handle it? I let go and free-fell. God caught me. I wouldn’t trade the experience for “anything” this world has to offer. It set me free.
