Merciful Impersonality

A cricket got into our house and every night he would do his cricket thing. It was kind of annoying. But at the same time I felt kind of sorry for the guy because here he is doing his mating call every night and there were no female crickets to hear him. I saw him a few times but he was always to fast for me to get him. Tonight my wife saw him in the living room rug I could have tried to step on him but I decided to try and catch him. I got a glass and started toward him, as I did that I asked the universe to take control of him. These crickets can jump pretty far. When I got close to him he jumped but it was a little jump and when he landed I was able to put the glass over him. I put a paper towel under the glass so he couldn’t escape then took him out side and dumped him in the bushes. He probably thought he died and went to heaven because now when he does his mating call he’ll probably get answered.

I was merciful to the cricket. And I think that being merciful is good, especially when it comes to us. I believe that showing ourselves merci is important. Because every time we join in agreement that we are not good in some way, we can reinforce negative sub-conscious thoughts.

We really have to learn to be what I call: the divine observer with total impersonality. That means observing everything that is going on around us and observing ourselves without taking anything personal. This can take a lot of stress off of us and help us live longer.

Valentine's Day

I think it is really great to show love for others on Valentines Day, but I also think it would be great to give ourselves a valentine. It’s a good time of to stop and reflect about all our good attributes and give ourselves some appreciation, a pat on the back and a whole bunch of self love. We deserve it!
