Happiness is a byproduct of another activity

Hello and welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
All World One Happy Family.

It is my pleasure to welcome a new reader in the city I am in now to our fold. I hope the new reader will find the entries in this blog up to here a pleasure to read.

A Joke: A prisoner serving long time in jail, laments to his fellow cell mate,
"I do wish I had stole that money earlier, I would have been out by now."


HAPPINESS IS A BY PRODUCT OF ANOTHER ACTIVITY

People always try to find happiness, as if that is an object to find, or an emotion that is the end result of a journey.

I read recently that happiness is no such thing.

It is merely a by product of another activity, carried out with great interest or concentration.

Then, when looking back on that activity, one can say, "that was happiness."

That is why, people always talk of "difficult times in those days, but we were happy."

At the same time, happiness is an emotion, an idea generated in the mind.

In that case one does not find happiness. One just can be happy.

So the saying, if you want to be happy, be.

How Can I Help a Destitute Beggar?

Hello, Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

All world one happy family.

As a regular reader of my blog you will know that I am at present in Ahmedbad, in India.

This evening I was strolling the local bazaar, and of course, a young man, I looked in his eyes, and studied his face, and estimated him to be in his late 20's,
pleaded to be helped. "Just get your sandals polished," was his plea. When I walked away, he said he still had not had his day's meal, that he has travelled from afar to be here, amongst a throng of people, and that he had a large family to support, and he was the only breadwinner.

How could I help him? If I were to let my sandals polished, that would give him 2 Rps, may be five.

I wanted to tell him about all the things I have been learning of recently, and been expounding in this blog.

That he just has to start thinking of abundance, give extra Mana Force, or Prana, or Life energy to his Overslef, and order that Overself to get him his needs, have full confidence on the outcome of his orders to his Overself, and continue to look for guidance in what to do, for all his troubles to end.

All this line of thought went through my mind, as I stood before him, and he saw in my standing a source of hope, and continued to tell me of his plight which I recounted above.

As I walked away I thought I could print out my instructions from an earlier blog, and seek him out tomorrow and give it.

Will he be able to read it? Will he scorn me for giving him words when he wants bread?

I don't know what I should do, what I will do? How much confidence do I have in the Mana Force and how it may help some one? Has it helped me?

Please write in the comment box. What is the correct thing to do?

Wishing you all the best. Shree-1

Living in the present moment

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
All world one Happy Family


A Joke: Wife to husband, "Our new neighbours are rather strange. They have no car, no television, and hardly any furniture to speak of."
Husband, "I bet they have plenty of money."

I have great delight in welcoming a new reader of my blog residing in the USA.

As will be evident to any one surfing this blog from its very beginnings, in Oct. 09, I dedicate it to all the people the world over who are struggling to win over the hardships of day to day living.

Life has not been brought to us to survive a miserable time until it is taken away from us. We have been granted our minds so that we may create, as God does, our
environment, and thus enjoy each moment of our day.

LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

I read recently about a woman who was, whilst preparing breakfast, thinking of the lunch, and whilst at lunch, thinking of her plans for the afternoon. During the afternoon, she was worried about the journey to the cinema. At the cinema she fell asleep because she has had an exhausting day.

All through the day she lived in the future. She did not feel the gentle progress of the knife it it cut through the bread in the morning, nor the aroma of her afternoon lunch, or the pleasure of food entering and filling a hungry
stomach.

I for, one, am enjoying even this love of labour, the appearance of letters on my computer screen, as I tap the key board. (A great improvement, because until I had this computer cleared of, now I know, four antivirus programmes in it, there used to be agonising delay between my tapping a letter key, and its appearance on the screen.)

A Joke: A farmer buys a sackful of seeds.
"Are the seeds guarranteed to grow?" he asks the seedman.
"Sure," says the shop keeper. "Just bring back the seeds that have not grown for a refund of those seeds."


Another Joke, just for the fun of it:

A mother-in-law is staying in the same house as the son-in-law.
"My house is your house," says the son-in-law.
"Well, get out of MY house then," shouts back the mother-in-law.

QUALITIES OF A GLOBAL PERFSON;

With acknowledgement for inspiration from a devotional song made popular by Mahatma Gandhi, I enumerate some of the qulities that today's global citizen will have.
Every one is equal in his eyes.
Treats all with respect.
Has a clear pure mind - no prejudices, no conceit, no trickery, no treachery, no criticism, no hatred. Just love and well wishes for all.
Be a good Samaritan, not to proove to himself/herself that he/she is a good person, but just because it is a natural thing to do. No pride or satisfaction from that deed.
Has the fortitude to accept good fortune, and bad luck with equanimity.
Is true to himself, and to others.
Has no evil intentions over the wealth of others. His wealth is earned by honest deeds.
Such a person will be at peace and happy with himself. He will radiate an aura of joy that will be apleasure to behold by all he comes into contact with.

Wishing you all the best, Shree-1

No crime in town and cities. No killings of people of different religions.

Everyone will have love, affection, compassion for everyone else.

There will bo no hatred, no anger, no animosity between people.

Every one will have good health. There will be no self-inflicted illnesses,

illnesses due to improper life-styles.

Illnesses due to ageing and natural afflictions will be borne with a calm grace and dignity.

There will be no angst or sorrow for any one for that reason.

Every one shall have enough for a comfortable life. No poverty, and distress

for lack of funds.

That is what I mean by a better world. llo, Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?

All world one happy family.

Message for today is simple.

Love yourself, accepting your faults and shortcomings.
If you do not do so, how can any one else treat you with love and respect?
You have to live withy yourself all life long. Might as well enjoy the company.

A Joke: Two friends went up on a salmon fishing long weekend break to Scotland.
At the end of three days of endless sitting behind their fishing poles, all they got was a measly little salmon.

On the train journey home, one remarked to the other,"Taking into account all our travelling and hotel costs, that salmon we caught has cost us almost £600 each." The other says, "At that price, I surer am glad we only caught one fish."

Help others selflessly

Hello! Welcome to How Can I Make It A Better World?

All world one happy family.

A Joke: A mother took her ten year old son shopping with her to a high class fruiterer's.
Wanting more to impress the new customer with his service, rather than the quality of his goods, the fruit shop owner invited the little boy to help himself to a few of the cherries he was looking at.

The little boy just fumbled and bumbled something, so the shopkeeper said, "What is it boy? Do you not like cherries?" The boy said he certainly liked them.
So the shopkeeper got a fistful of cherries and landed them in the hands of the boy, which of course, were quickly ready to take them.

On the way home, as the little boy was tastefully sucking away at his cherries, his mother asked him, "Why did you not say you liked cherries when the shopkeeper first asked you?"
"Because," said the little boy, "his hands were bigger than mine."

HELP OTHERS SELFLESSLY

One way to make the world a better place, and to brig happiness to youjr life, is to help some one without any selfish interest. Lord Baden Powell got it right when he told his Boy Scouts to doone samll favour a day to someone.

Wishing you all the best, Shree-1.

Your world is your Creation

Hello, Welcome to "How Can I Make It a better World?

All World One Happy Family.


A Joke:

A Hoover salesman knocked on the door of a village farmer.
He begain with his spill to the young farmer, telling of how wonderful his new carpet cleaner was.
The farmer inturrupted him, saying, "I already have a carpet cleaner"
The salesman was ready with his next pitch, "I can give you, Sir, a generous allowance for your old carpet cleaner, and give you a new lovely model instead."
The young man's eyes lit up at the thought of the bargain beauty he was to get, but then restrained himself, "I did promise to keep her for better or worse," he said.

Another joke: The undertaker was surprised to see yet another gentleman filing past the coffin. "Are you, Sir, one of the mourners?" he asked.

"Indeed I am," replied the man. "I was silly enough to lend the fool £1,000, and now I'll never get that back."

YOUR WORLD IS YOUR CREATION

It was some thirty years ago that I had read of the thoughts of Shri Raman Maharshi. He did state, very clearly, that one's waking world is as much a man's own creation as is his dream world.

My scientific young mind, of course protested vehemently against such notions. The dream world belonged to just the dreamer, whilst one's world when awake was shared by everyone else. One was temporary, the other was permanant for all times, and so on ..

I rejected the teachings of Shri raman Maharshi and busied myself with the job of making a living. Years and decades went by. I remained too busy to make a living to give any thughts to the fact that there may be a reality different to what I had perceived it to be; that I could mould my own world different to the one I had entranched myself in.

Now, in reitrement, I have come across the same philosophy put forward by self-development gurus as the one propounded by Shri Raman Maharshi.

I should have not rejected the thoughts of some one as enlightened about the true reality of our world as Shri Raman Maharshi. I now accept his sayings that each individual created his individual world.

Had I accepted the basic tenets of Shri Raman Maharshi I would have mapped out my world as that of a captain of commerce ruling the world, and responsible for massive philanthropies, and would have done so in the same time frame in which I just managed to make a living.

I still do not understand how my own world can be a projection of my own thoughts, in the same sense that I do not understand how digital technology, just on-offs of electrical currents, can carry voices over telephone networks, and bring razor sharp colour pictures to televisions. But as I accept the results of such unfathomable principles, I now accept that I can create my world.

And, in the system showed to me at a health resort in India in March this year,(see my blogs from March nonwards) I have the means by which I may create
the world I want.

My wish is that these truths and methods be taught in all schools together with algebra and history so that the young generaton can work out their own prosperous happy career, and be shown the methods to achieve that which they have planned for themselves.

I, for one, have penned out the world I want in each facet of my life - my health, my relations, my finances, my residence, my career, and so on. I will report to you how I get on with meeting my objectives using my new found knowledge.

I trust you will want to do something similar.

Wishing you every happiness, Shree-1

The Magic Of Mana Force

Hello! It is my pleasure to welcome you to "How Can I Make It A Better World?

- All World One Happy Family.

Joke: The Professor was giving a lesson in economics to his fresh new students.

"When an artice is sold, it goes to the buyer," he explained.

A student hackled in, "Except for coal, Sir."

Suppressing his anger at the challenge to his authority, the professor asked, "And why is that so, young Mr. Thomas?"

"Becuase, Sir," Thomas replied, "When coal is purchased it goes to the cellar."

The Magic Of Mana Force:

I have been showing, all through March 2010, how one can use a magical power which is with all of us, to fulfill our earnest desires.

I have explained the theory behind the concept, and the practical steps to take to use that power.

That force has been known to mankind all over the world. In the far east it has been called chi. In Inida, it is called Prana. The Hawains call it Mana.

The method shown for using that magic force is the one used by the Hawains since ancient times. They could perform the magic, amongst other feats, of walking on coal ambers, healing illnesses, and protecting themselves from the dangers of a tropical forest.

I can understand clearly now that one of my mother's dear friend, used the same force, albeit unkowingly, when she recounrted to me that every time she had a
hold up in life, however minor, she would pray on her guardian spirit, she called it "Hanuman Dada" and sure enough her problems were resolved soon enough.

I remeber she once told me how she and her fellow traveller were stuck in some remote part of Singapore, late at night, and with no means to get to their hotel. She then, as always, ordered her Hanuman Dada for a rescue, and, surprise, surprise, a kind old soul turned up from nowhere in a jeep car, and took them to their hotel, no charge.

I had never given much thought to the meaning behind her telling me of such tales. I even pardoned her for what I silently imagined to be her exagerations to highlight her adventures. I now think that she was using the powers of, what I describe as Mana,in these instances.

The question is, why did she never use that power to lift herself out of the frugal life style that was her lot all her life?

The only explanation I can think of is that she was forever bound by her own limiting beleifs, that she just had to live frugally, and to amass wealth or change her life circumstances was just not for her. She could never imagine herself living any differently to the life she was living.

I sincerely hope that I can break out of my similar limiting beliefs, and use the Mana force Power to ask for the new life I care to create for myself.

More important, I hope YOU will also, at least, try out the system shown to make your world a better place to live in for you.

THE SYSTEM to USE MANA FORCE POWER

I copy and paste below the system from my earlier blog for you to use your Mana Force Power:

The Easy Method to your Riches
Hello! Welcome to How Can I Make It A Better World?
All world one happy family.

Obviously, having lots of money will help me make this a better world, both for me, and for others.
In my recent travels in India I was shown a simple method which will allow me to get the riches I want.
I have put the system to test. It is too early for me to report on the rsults of the system, as they apply to me. But I am convinced enough about the ability of the system to produce results, that I am staking my reputation in showing the system to all readers of my blog.
I do not want any one to delay using the system to benefit their life, simply because I personally
have not prooved the system's usefulness.
First, a joke. An elderly lady, laden with her grocery shopping bags, managed to haul
herself into the rush hour bus. All seats were taken, and the lady was clearly having a difficult time keeping her balance as the bus lurched its way through the traffic.
A young man got up and offered the lady his seat.
At this, the lady snapped back, "No thank you! I do not have time to sit around doing nothing like you young folks."

THE SIMPLE SYSTEM TO YOUR RICHES:
The steps to take to make your dreams come true:
0. Prepare your wish, so that it may be expressed in a short sentence. Be crystal clear about what you want.
1. Sit quietly in a place where you will not be disturbed for about five to ten minutes.
2. Quieten your mind, and relax your body by breathing naturally, and paying attention just to your breath naturally coming in, and going out.
3. Now begins the magic. Breathe out completely. Breathe in starting by filling the lower
part of the chest. Your abdomen will swell out. Then fill the upper chest with air.
4. Hold the breath for about ten seconds, or for as long as you can comfortably do so.
5. Breathe out completly.
6. You are back to step 3. Repeat steps 3 to 5 two more times.
7. Hold your hands out about 10 inches away from body, palms facing each other about 4 to 6 in apart, and fingers not touching each other.
8. As you do step 7, also begin three more full breaths, as in Steps 3 to 6.
WARNING; ONLY BREATHE IN, AND HOLD YOUR BREATH, FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN COMFORTABLY DO SO. DO NOT EXERT YOURSELF BEYOND ENDURANCE. SEEK MEDICAL APPROVAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE BREATHING ROUTINE.
With daily practice you will feel a strange tingling sort of sensdation in your palms. (I have begun to feel this)
9. Know that by taking the six full breaths as above, you have gathered up some extra life-force in your hands. Imagine this life-force as a ball of energetic particles. Mix up your wishes with those energy particles. your wish has to be precise, brief, expressed in a small sentence.
10. Transfer that ball of energy, laden with your wish by a movement of the hands to close to a spot below the navel. Imagine the ball of energy travelling up your spine, through the head, up
to a spot about 6 feet above your head.
With daily practice this will be easier to imagine.
11. At this spot, about 6 ft above your head resides a centre of energy which may be called your "Overself." This Overself is a part of your body, just as much as is your limbs or internal organs. But it is also connected to all the energies at the root of all universe.
Having transferred the ball of energy to your Overself, you order the Overself to carry out your wish. This is expressed in precise, easy to understand few words. Understand, as you order the Overself, that the Overself is your servant, and will do all that you ask it to do, and it has the power to do all it has to do. Give the order sternly as a boss would to an employee, with no choice for the employee, but to obey.
12. Say thank you the the Overself for understanding your order, and for doing its job.
13. Say to yourself, loud and clear, "So be it. It is done. This is my sincere desire."
14. Forget about your order to the Overself. Carry on living your day, knowing full well that your needs are being fulfilled. Know that you will do what ever has to be done as prompted to you by your ovewrself.

That is the system. Just implement the system. You will improvise practicalities of the system as you practice it, but keep to the method of creating extra life-force, and passing that energy to the Overself, and ordering the overself, and believing 100% that the Overself will
do as told.

Wishing you every success, Shree-1

You have to practice every day.

Hello! It is my pleasure to welcome you to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
Allo world one happy family.

Joke: A lady dignitary was visiting a prison. To one sad looking prisoner she said, "I am sorry for you. Were you robbing and thieving because you were very poor?"
"No, madam," was the reply, "Actually I was minting money."


YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE EVERY DAY

My regret is that I have been able to practice the system shown in my blog earlier only haphazardly. Even so, as I write now, I am beginnig to be think that may be there is some truth in the mumbo-jumbo I was shown at the natuural health care ashram in India in February this year.

In some ways, my wishes show signs of being fulfilled. Amazing really.

And that is with only occassional, and incomplete practice of the system revealed to you in my blogs in March 2010.

Only after two moths of repeated practice, can I feebly sense the imagined ball of scinitillting energy in between my hands going from my abdomen, through the spine, to beyond my head.

With the reassurance in the the system that I am getting, I am going to continue with the practice, with renewed enthusiasm.

I urge you to do the same. Turning your wishes into reality does need determined effort. I am willing to make the effort. I hope you too will want to do likewise.

Here, in these writings are the secrets that other web sites, and seminars are asking money for, promising to reveal the magic key fo unbound success if only you would part with your money.

I now know what they will give you for your money.

And it is all free for you. Please just read and act on the information I record in these blogs, right from the start, in Oct.2010, or, at least from March 2010.

Wishing you all the best, Shree-1
