A man came to Sheik Farid, a Sufi mystic, a great Sufi mystic and a very strange man. The man said, ”How can I get out of my chains, my attachment, my ideas, my prejudices?”
Farid had his own way of answering things. Rather than answering to the person he simply ran to a pillar which was nearby, clung to the pillar and started shouting, ”Save me from the pillar!”
The man could not believe what is happening – is he mad or something? And he was shouting so loudly that people started coming from the street in. A crowd gathered and they asked, ”What is the matter with you? Have you gone crazy? You are holding the pillar, not the pillar holding you. You can leave it!”
And the man also said, ”I had thought that this man is a man of great understanding and he seems to be just a madman! I had asked a very subtle question, a very spiritual question which has always been asked by seekers: how to get out of my attachments with ideas things people? And rather than answering me he simply jumped and clung to the pillar and started shouting, ’Save me from the pillar!’”
Farid looked at the man and he said, ”If you can understand this, then you don’t need any answer. Go home and ponder over it. If the pillar is not holding me, neither your chains are holding you – you are holding them. I can leave the pillar – look I am leaving the pillar and I am saved!"

Oneness - Cosmicmessages
The further away from oneness we are, the more you divide yourself into tiny parts. The more parts of you there are and the more distance between them means further denial of self. When you deny yourself you experience dis-ease, discordance, poor health in all spheres of life. The reverse also holds true. The closer those parts move together, the more they amalgamate, the bigger they get, the more expansive they are, the more we move back into our natural state of being. This is how healing happens. It occurs when parts of the self-merge together. The closer we are to experiencing Oneness, the faster the healing takes place.

Speaking the Language of the Body: How to Understand What Your Body is Trying to Tell You - The Healer's Journal
HJ: The body speaks to us just as loudly as our thoughts, but we must learn to first interpret and understand what it is trying to say. Typically, the language of the body is spoken through feelings and tactile sensations, some of which can be uncomfortable — especially when they are alerting us to a health challenge or something that is out of balance. It’s extremely important not to immediately try to surpress or escape from these feelings but truly tune into what the deeper message might be.

Daily Message ~ Friday April 18, 2014 - Trinity Esoterics
So many human beings place their focus on what other people are doing, and what they perceive to be wrong with them. What if, from this day forward, you started focusing on other people’s authentic power, their divinity, their innate capability to handle all things in their lives? It would would be a powerful shift, because you would suddenly be uplifting them and supporting their empowerment and growth, rather than sending the energies of judgment and the insinuation that you think they are not capable.

MORE THAN A HUMAN BE-ING - Mayan Messages
Once you remember who you are, material possessions and kudos from others loses its importance. Once you have fully gained peace and inner balance, you will begin to enjoy every moment of your life. You will feel equally balanced whether someone is yelling in your face or giving you a heart-felt hug. You will know who you are and can appreciate the opportunity of each experience on Earth.
Whenever you have an experience that leaves you feeling anything less than peaceful, take time to look at the event and uncover the reason why you are off balance. Your emotions are an excellent barometer to awaken you consciously to areas in your life that need to be addressed.

Selfishness and Selflessness - Two Sides of the Same Coin
To those used to dualistic thinking, these two things might seem completely different, but selfishness and selflessness are more closely related than one might believe. That's part of the illusion of duality, it takes something Whole, chops it in half, then tells you that you have to choose one or the other. Such limited thinking.

GMO Labeling Law Victory in Vermont! - Organic Consumers Association
FINLAND, Minn. – Today, by a vote of 28-2, the Vermont state Senate passed H.112, a bill to require mandatory labeling of foods sold in Vermont that contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The bill also makes it illegal to call any food product containing GMOs “natural” or “all natural.” Unlike bills passed last year in Maine and Connecticut, which require four or five other states to pass GMO labeling laws before they can be enacted, Vermont’s law contains no “trigger” clauses, making it the first “clean” GMO labeling law in the country.
