 Hi everybody, okay, so I want to talk today about the Eternal battle to do what is right and another way of saying it is to relate to Discipline from a deeper spiritual perspective And what do I say discipline? Well, I think a lot of a lot of us myself included We know that if we do certain things Consistently the things that we plan the things that we know are good for us long term That our life will get better Right our relationships will get better. Our health will get better our spiritual perspective will be stronger our Work will be more successful Our our country will be better. You know our world will be better if only Right, imagine right imagine if everyone did what was right or what they knew what they believed was our what their conscience Is telling them at each moment to to to do I mean everything from treating other people well even when we're tired and hangry To You know getting up From from the bed at the right time From you know doing our work from you know at the right time doing the right of the right kind of work that we that are Eating the right foods, you know doing the right kinds of health activities To any everything everything is about is each person following Their conscience to the best of their ability because if so the world will probably be a far better kinder stronger place, right so And and and then there's this sort of misunderstanding of spirituality as Being go with the flow do whatever you feel like doing because that's what the spirit my intuition my guidance So-called right is telling me to do this or telling me to do that my guidance my mind What I feel like doing is eating a bucket of ice cream right now on the couch You know, I am forgiven and forever loved by God, so it's okay for me to do that right and technically that's true Technically, it is true that you know God the universe source loves you forever and ever and ever and Is pouring forgiveness to you at all times and you can there's nothing And that's that's the paradox right that that is absolutely true that there's nothing Wrong that you can do there's no sin. That's great enough to knock you from the pedestal that God has placed you on as the most precious being in the universe to Cherish and to love forever and ever which is true for every being in the universe. God is powerful and you know Big enough to to place every every single being as on the to make every being feel as if they were the only Being the only beloved in the whole universe So that is true Which is why there is this common misperception of spirituality as Just do go with the flow to what you feel like doing even if it's not, you know eating a bucket of ice cream on the couch But it's like It's it's not following discipline. It's not following. It's not following your conscience. Essentially your conscience says Okay, let's do this do that. This is healthy for you. This is good for your long term And yet the ego comes up and says, oh, no, I think I want to do this right now, and then it's okay I'm forgiven go with the flow but so so let me suggest a Perhaps a deeper spiritual perspective. I don't know it helps it's deeper for me. Anyway, maybe it's obvious to you We'll see But if only if only We could feel The love of God Use the word that inspires you the most if only we could feel abundant source if only we could feel the oneness of the universe in the moments when we need to decide to do the right thing to Do the healthy act for our bodies and our minds and emotions to treat the person with Magnanimity with bigness with forgiveness Even when we don't feel like it even when they just did something That makes us feel uncomfortable and bad or whatever and we naturally our ego itself wants to reciprocate with you know with You know with revenge Even in the tiniest way of saying something back You know or of treating them with silent treatment or whatever, right? When we are doing our work We we might you know our work might involve Creating something and it's hard to create things that of value and so In that moment we will say oh social media Let me go and be a spiritual person and go and comment on other people's social media because that's of service to them Right or whatever excuse our brilliant brilliant mind Creates to seem spiritual to ourselves even though we've just violated or You know Moved away from what the conscience is saying now. This is what you plan to do. This is of integrity for yourself You know anyway, so If only We could feel deep abiding abundant love being loved in that moment and If we did feel that abundant love divine love in that moment of decision Then wouldn't it be easier to Decide to do what's right? Yeah, I think so I think so If we felt the connectedness to all of the universe right whatever you want to call love the the oneness the abundance the Grace if we felt that then Wouldn't it be easier to do what's right? I Think so Right no matter if we're tired. Let's say we're tired We're tired Okay more hungry and yet in that moment we feel abundant love and Grace and connectedness then it would be Easier to say yes, let me go and take a nap even though I feel like I'm addicted to social media or addicted to watching this video Or whatever addicted playing this game or whatever if we were with a you know with with another person and May somehow things didn't go well with us go well for us that day and this person says something that we perceive as rude or mean or insensitive or attacking our character or whatever or On loving and yet in that moment we were able to resource abundant love and Well-being it's spiritual well-being Then wouldn't it be easier at that moment to give that love back To to return meanness with love to return Yeah, to return to reciprocate their meanness with love with kindness with forgiveness with humor with lightness With caring with compassion. Yes, I think I think so At work, let's say we are Needing to create something that is risky that may you know may may may Not not make money Let's say make maybe something that we think okay. This might be really valuable, but it might also flop There's a risk here. I'm putting energy into this project and I don't know if it's gonna do well But it's it's needed In that moment, it would be easier to for example go search social media Go and tweak our website a little bit more to go and do the one million other things do a little bit of bookkeeping Like bookkeeping or do do one million other things instead of take the risk and the scary and the anxiety of Creating something of possible value or possible failure If in that moment we felt abundant love If in that moment we Were we recalled the oneness of everything and the ultimate and abiding security of our souls If that were true, if we felt that in a moment Wouldn't it be easier to take the risk? Wouldn't it be easier to be courageous and experimented experimental experimentation mindset Growth mindset. Yes, I think it would be so That leads me to to my conclusion, which is perhaps the thing to do before the discipline the thing that the action before doing what's right is to return return return To the ultimate source of love Of security of oneness of joy of peace of Kindness of grace of lightness of enoughtness if we were to resource ourselves and Therefore feel The abundance and the peace and the love of source Then my goodness making the right decisions would be so much easier because we wouldn't be Making decisions or living life out of fear But instead out of love so the conclusion for me therefore is To me what I see at this moment of the purpose of my life is Moment by moment to practice resourcing love as deeply and as quickly as possible Right now it might take me a couple minutes of You know energy reboot and really like a little bit of meditation and prayer and Movement or whatever to like resource love again so that I can make the right decision for health for well-being for compassion for courage for Service, you know true truly selfless service But the more I practice the more I can find ways to quickly and deeply resource love then The more easily I can the more quickly I can make good decisions the more Possibility I can have of being disciplined the discipline self-discipline of Using my wisdom to plan what my what my actions are going to be and to do those actions Rather than be taken off track by my emotional my inner resistances and conflicts and fear essentially so The so this is why I I think okay, so besides Resourcing love is what we're talking about here, right the practice of resourcing love in as many moments of the day as possible And to do it as deeply and as quickly as possible, which again I Called the purpose of my life because it's going to take the rest of my life at least If not a thousand lifetimes right to to practice To do it really well I certainly am very much still I feel like I'm still and you know very much a beginner in this I'm like just realizing it this week. Oh that makes sense to me Oh, that's the mission. Ah, that's the purpose. Ah, that's the The main homework or task of every day of every moment is to resource love resource love resource love so that I am in this the best state of being I possibly can be to do the right thing to make the loving choice and so resourcing love has this obviously huge daily benefit of doing the right thing I also believe that By practice practice of resourcing love abundance grace joy peace resourcing the divine Okay, returning to the divine in as many moments of the day as possible So this is not just a morning meditation, right like I always caricature spiritual practice and this is Again, like it's a caricature. It's it's it's a it's a straw man It's easy to tear down this spiritual practice of oh, I I'm so spiritual I meditate for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening and Then the rest of the day. I'm a jerk Rest of the day I completely have amnesia about what the heck spirituality is and what the heck equanimity is I don't I just practice my deep deep deep meditation and Rituals in the morning and evening and midday fine three times a day. I'm so spiritual But what about at 3 p.m. When it's not the middle of the day or what about that? You know 9 p.m. Or Iowa pick pick any time of the day when you're not when you haven't just come out of your meditation So to me My what works for what what is the mission for me? The practice for me is to come back like not three times a day, but 35 80 times a day like that is living consciously right like not not just a morning practice or evening practice or midday practice, but Every five minute practice like every five minutes. I should be like where am I? What am I aware of spirituality? Now of course the more deeply and the more frequently I practice the more it becomes integrated into Like just the way I am and like I level up a little bit more as the normal the normalization like the normal state of being is is higher because of my frequency of practice and then The continued frequency of practice raises me even higher and then even higher the state of being becomes more sublime as We keep practicing keep practicing throughout the whole day. It's not twice three times a day, but it's twice it starts with twice an hour and Then three times an hour and then five times an hour and then ten times an hour now I don't know if we can do beyond ten times an hour because that's literally every five minutes We keep you know conscious like oh awake again five minutes later awake again like a reminder, you know That might be you know more than that might be crazy making because we can't focus on whatever else we're doing because we got every minute We got to go back go back to God every minute. That's crazy, but But right now what I've been trying to do what what what what has become more normal for me is every ten minutes At least during my working day like when I'm not working with a timer It's it's harder to remember every ten minutes because if I'm with my you know with my with my family with friends I'm not gonna like have a timer go off every ten minutes because that's that's socially inappropriate So I have to find other ways during my off times to remind myself again That's why some people wear like a like a bracelet that they can remind themselves You know or some other visual or physical cue to keep reminding themselves to come back and come back come back come back So well, I was gonna say one more thing I think besides This this resourcing of love besides the benefit it has for doing the right thing of discipline of living life Consciously besides that I think and play with me here This is a nice imagination whether it's true or not. I'll leave it up to you, but every time we resource love Like bring love Again that bring the divine again to this dense third-dimensional reality every time we do that we create this ripple effect That ripples out into many dimensions many dimensions beyond our physical senses That's what I believe. I mean that's a nice imagination. So imagine every time you resource love you like like put put a a Vibration of the divine Out into many dimensions again like like and so somehow that's a really important work. I Believe it's my highest work Right every moment as many moments every ten minutes right now All right, right now you might be starting this in me I got God if I could just do once an hour that'd be amazing if I do three times a day of resourcing love That would be amazing great right start With what's doable. Don't go great. I'm gonna do it like George every ten minutes It's gonna be too much it takes more stamina than you might have at this moment, right of like your brain having to Return again, so maybe maybe it is good to start with once a day twice a day three times a day, right three times a day It's wonderful morning midday night Wonderful as anchor points anchoring love again Into the into the dimensions beyond our physical sight like how many beings does this affect unlimited? I mean how many we cannot even imagine possibly unlimited numbers of beings every time a resource love It just goes out into the I imagine this like beam of light this beam of love Into the into the many dimensions Start with three times a day you know and Then beyond three times a day and then every time you're at work try to do a half 25-minute half hour timer on your phone So every half hour you return again to energy reboot, which is my practice of resourcing love essentially If you don't know energy reboot you can look it up on Google energy reboot Google knows my energy reboot and you can watch my videos about that if you want to but anyway, I Hope this is inspiring if we can resource love The more I resource love in every moment thereby transforming this earth and its many dimensions and therefore having the resource to Be light again to have to feel enoughness again To be able to make a good choice at this nexus point again To understand again that this is a safe stage Forgiving love, so I hope this is helpful in some way and thank you. Thank you for watching
