Refreshment in Trying Times

 

 Your mind is very complex. It is what wages wars and makes peace. It contains many parts including your conscience. Your conscience effects every action you take. Except in rare circumstances, it dictates what you will and will not do. It, quite simply, is the instrument of karma, for better or worse.

  A person, in it's broken down state, is a heart and soul. Your soul contains a record of your deeds and is a reflection of your true self. Your heart is what influences the path you take. The condition of the heart directs both soul and karma.

 Your heart influences your conscience and the decisions you make go straight into your soul. The mind requires renewal (or "refreshment") to restore the damage dealt to your psyche. Your psyche is both precious and fragile. It needs to be restored on occasion just like your body needs rest.

 The psyche of a person feels all, both laughs and cries. The psyche is connected to your spiritual nature. Your spirit will rise or fall depending on your psyche's condition. Never let your psyche go unattended: take quiet breaks to reflect, meditate, and engage in your favorite activities. Then your psyche will improve and your spirit will soar once again.

 We have a working whole, conscience, psyche, spirit and soul. All work together, and makes karma, be it good or bad. What we do changes and shapes lives, including our own.  Never doubt positive energy. Positive energy solidifies our life, making us more complete. Our psyche will improve as we see the fruit of our labor.

 Some wise words I once heard: words lead to actions, actions lead to fate, and fate leads to destiny. Whatever that destiny may be, it will lead into both dark and cheerful times. It's best to retreat when the rain does fall. Quiet your mind and take minutes, hours, even days until you are clear minded and your chakra is abundant once more. Have your spirit ride with the sun and rest peacefully each night. There will be days the whole world seems to be against you, but fear not. You are one and if enlightenment is what you seek, then you will defeat the world.

 Every moment in this world is a chance for us to make a radical, positive change. Don't ever give up on your numerous chances to make your stake in this life. I don't know what lies behind life's doors, but I am ready to embrace my life and walk the up most path. Be strong, I tell even myself, for this truly is the rest of my days. If this world really is the proving grounds for the rights to a new life, I am ready.
