Wrting out of love about "establishing ties"



 The virtual world and the ties in it are not that different from the real world, or most probably I am wrong. You read me and decide for yourself. I must be missing something here, either I don't belong to the virtual world or I belong and I just take it too seriously :)

The Little Prince in his journey meets a fox. He wants to play with the fox but the fox says: I am not tamed. The little prince doesn't know what” tame” means.

Fox: " It is an act often neglected, it means to establish ties."

The Little Prince: "To establish ties?"

Fox: „just that”, „ to me you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me...but if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...”

Fox: Please tame me!

The Little Prince:  I want to very much but I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.”

Fox: „one only understands the things that one tames, men have no more time to understand  anything.....”
The Little Prince asked the fox what must I do to tame you? 

Fox: „You must be very patient, first you will sit down at a little distance from me....I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. but you will sit a little closer to me, everyday...it would have been better to come back at the same hour every day.”

The Little Prince tamed the fox, and when the hour of his departure drew near „Ah” said the fox „ I shall cry”.

It is your fault said the little Prince.” I never wished you any sort of harm but you wanted me to tame you...”

„ Yes, that is so,” said the fox.

And the fox cried.

Did you ask to be tamed? Or did someone try hard to tame you? Did you cry when he/she left? What if you hadn’t asked to be tamed and you were tamed. And you are lonely and you are crying like the little fox?

Hmmm...!!! Go wash your face! You have mistaken yourself for a fox, you are The Little Prince/ss, this life seems to be about establishing ties and responsibilities. Make sure you don’t make anyone cry <3 and remember the responsibilities :)
I think we all belong to this virtual world, we have created it. As to me I feel I should, in general, take it easier :)

The echo of love




In the silence of dawn,
 I lay my ears to the door of the universe
 lest I hear the echo of my love.
 There is silence and nothing else.
 Stars blinking,
 the moon guarding
 and in the depth of the nature I hear a river talking.
 Where are the birds?
 Where are the birds?
Why aren’t they chirping?
There is so much in the silence they say,
 why am I not hearing it today?
 The fire of yearning,
 of desire,
 heats the ice in the eyes,
 everything flows.
The heart beats, the silence breaks,
 I hear the sea birds, I hear the sea birds.
 The echo of my love....alas I don’t hear...!

Writing out of love about negative thoughts.

 Do you think negatively about other people? Or you always have positive thoughts? How about when they have done something really bad to you?

Years ago when I was in Thailand, in my hotel room there was a little book on teachings of Buddha. I was jet lagged and couldn't sleep and the book was so nice and simple I began reading it.

It said when you have a thought in your mind, the whole universe is affected by it. It will be send out like  sound waves from a gramophone and it will become so widely scattered, it will fill up the whole universe and will come back to yourself and embraces you. And it continued, depending on the nature of your thought, good or bad, it will come back to yourself!

There was a drawing of an old gramophone in that book which was broadcasting flowers resembling positive and loving thoughts and that how those flowers were spreading, filling up the space and coming back and including the gramophone. That picture has stayed with me ever since.

 I sometimes think negatively about people. For example if a guy attacks you can you think positively about him?  You may even be so angry and express some very harsh negative words in your mind, but then you will finally calm down and get back to the "gramophone drawing" and "flower like sounds" :) You basically get back to your senses and realize that you and the whole world deserves peace, love, justice and positivity.

Thailand was beautiful, beaches were so peaceful, food was delicious, shopping...was gooood, but the illustration of gramophone and how my thoughts can affect you my friend, was the most precious gift I brought with me from Thailand.

May your thoughts be at peace, filled with love and positive energy, because it affects me, you see :)

 
"Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me and with Thy love in my heart
 all the world's affliction can in no wise alarm me."

Writing out of love about war-makers!



I opened the prayer book not because I was helpless, I just wanted to give food to my soul. It opened on a special prayer for „service”! Was I surprised?  Yes but just a little, I actually smiled at the humor my soul or my subconscious made with me.

I was thinking about service and listening to a round table talk on a Persian radio called payam-e-doost Radio
The talk was about the Prosperity of Humankind and how with changing our perspective about material things we can actually bring prosperity to humankind.

 One of them mentioned how different organizations try to do good to different third world countries they give them what they think is good for them without really finding out what is it they need. The ”consultation” they said was one of the main key to make good decision.

Isn’t that true that consultation about everything leads us towards making a better decision?
Do you believe in the principle of Oneness of mankind? Or lets make it smaller, do you see how much we feel the pain when a loved one is in pain? I want to say it is because I love that person at first place that’s why I feel for him/her. And it is true, it is because I have had happy times with him/her. 

Happiness creates unity and strengthens the bond between us. It is good to be happy and let the bond get stronger, in another word to connect!Because then we can be there for each other in times of difficulties.
Getting back to the question of believing in Oneness of mankind, and the connection I mentioned, if life was about the people we meet and those we are happy with and make friends and connect, how many inhabitants of the world would that be? How many people do I connect to really? 300? 400? I mean think about it, I have a big fat Persian family and I still think I physically do not have the capacity to meet and connect to more people. But hey, you may! But remember when connection is made it should be able to transmit. That’s the connection I am talking about.

To me with my own discussion : ) it seems we don’t really have the time and the capacity to practically experience the Oneness. I can travel , go to different humanitarian clubs and meet a lot of people and I will still meet 1000 people that I really connect with.  I may actually need to believe in the concept to make life easier for myself and others, because accepting and believing will change my perspective. 

The people in Ukraine hadn’t been in the friends circle or loop of Russian military! The Russian military didn’t seem to care about the happiness of Ukrainian people. The military didn’t seem to feel their pain. Or should I blame the one who ordered it?

Based on my thought the Ukrainians and Russians ( Palestinians and Israelies) should have made friend, spend some happy time to connect, invent, be creative, consult, dance, get to know each other, to unite then try peace and only then see if it wouldn’t be good enough, go for war. But no!!!!! They first go for war and they want to get whatever it is by force. And funny thing is that the leaders of the world want to establish peace! How can that happen without unity? LOL. Come on guys, think like women for a bit!

 Didn’t the leaders learn that when they were  kids? No one will "love" you when you are pushy and want to get love and attention by force?Helloooo!!!

 I believe in Oneness of mankind and it worries me that you war makers are a part of me. Please connect to people in a different way than war and force....and let us make use of the money you guys are spending on war and invention of new weapons on education and cancer research!
