Meditate to Unlock Your Hidden Potential – Part 2
Written by Jerry on September 24, 2009 – 8:34 pm -You can be the creator of your own manifest destiny through a daily meditation practice and focusing on changing your life for the better.
In fact, you have the ability to recreate yourself in any direction you choose. The power that you can cultivate is limited only by your own imagination.
As I mentioned in Part 1, this will also change the lives of people who you come into contact with. Therefore, you must always strive to be kind, trustworthy, and considerate to others. You should make a change in this direction immediately.
Why the sudden need for character improvement?
It goes hand-in-hand with using power and influence wisely. Remember Lord Acton’s saying: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The power of your mind has the ability to alter reality. That’s true power! Therefore, this is a power must nurtured and controlled.
How is this possible?
Here is an example:
If you had two identical twin boys, who haven’t eaten for two days, and you put an apple in front of them; what would they do?
Most likely, they would fight over it, and the winner would get, most or, all of it.
You and I know they should divide it equally, but each of them has really felt hunger, and that is a reality you and I do not feel at the moment. So each of the boys has his point of view and, as observers, we have our point of view.
We aren’t talking about imagination, but three legitimate points of view. Meditation will allow your mind to see multiple points of view, without judgment. If you can see only one point of view, you haven’t meditated long enough yet.
The best leaders, negotiators, and diplomats, know that you have to understand the opposing viewpoint, to move forward, on any issue. There is always justification, on both sides, in any conflict, but true compromise is meeting the opposition in a completely different reality, than you both started from.
If you had the ability to travel into space, your view of earth, from within your space vehicle, would be much different from the homeless person who has been living in poverty. You couldn’t see, or feel, that person’s pain, and yet each of you would have a vivid picture of life on earth.
You can meditate from a mountain top, but once you have seen the full picture, I believe, you have an obligation to help mankind, with acts of kindness and consideration.
Once you have discovered how easy it really is to help others, you are no longer struggling with; “who is right and who is wrong.”
Your new reality becomes, “how can I help?”
Never Stop Exploring Life!
