About Me

Like you, I am Spirit exploring the human experience, continually creating and evolving expressions of Infinite Life Itself. Our oneness is our highest truth and our diversity is our greatest blessing. As a species, we are gradually evolving into global consciousness. Some of us have evolved into universal and cosmic consciouness, and some into divine consciousness. Wherever you are, I'd love to meet you in this blossoming interfaith community. I love to write and read poetry, so feel free to share, as I do too with an open mind and grateful heart.

Kindness - July 19, 2008 - 05:27 PM

An Unconditional Gift. Kindness. In the quest to create a gentler, more loving world, kindness is the easiest tool we can use. Though it is easy to overlook opportunities to be kind, our lives are replete with situations in which we can be helpful, considerate, thoughtful, and friendly to loved ones and associates, as well as strangers. The touching, selfless acts of kindness that have the most profoundly uplifting effects are often the simplest: a word of praise, a gentle touch, a helping hand, a gesture of courtesy, or a smile. Such small kindnesses represent an unconditional, unrestricted form of love that we are free to give or withhold at will. When you give the gift of kindness, whether in the form of assistance, concern, or friendliness, your actions create a beacon of happiness and hope that warms people's hearts. The components of kindness are compassion, respect, and generosity. Put simply, kindness is the conscious act of engaging others in a positive way without asking whether those individuals deserve to be treated kindly. All living beings thrive on kindness. A single, sincere compliment can turn a person's entire world around. Holding a door or thanking someone who has held a door for you can inspire others to practice politeness and make already kind individuals feel good about their efforts. Smiling at people you meet-even those who make you feel like frowning-can turn a dreary encounter into a delightful one, for both of you. Every kind act has a positive influence on the individual who has performed said act as well as on the recipient, regardless of whether the act is acknowledged. Kindness brings about more kindness and slowly but surely takes a positive toll on humanity. Weaving the thread of kindness into your everyday life can be as easy as choosing to offer a hearty "Good morning" and "Good night" to your coworkers or neighbors, a stranger on the street, or the grocery store clerk. When you commit a kind act, you are momentarily disconnected from your ego and bonded with the individual who has benefited from your kindness. Being fully present in each moment of your life facilitates kindness as it increases your awareness of the people around you. You'll discover that each act of kindness you engage in makes the world, in some small way, a better place. http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2006/3773.html

Hi Flowerpoet, I just joined beliefnet and started my search for friends by typing in "yogananda". I came across your profile and felt some kinship. I used to write quite a bit of poetry, but none lately. I like your statement about oneness being our highest truth and diversity our greatest blessing. I have written a book, Gospel of One; Letters of Aul, which contains the letters of St. Paul, rewritten as if he proclaimed the gospel of oneness. I am a student of Paramahansa Yogananda, but I have read and studied widely, including most of Neale Donald Walsch's books.
