The worst calamity

The worst calamity that can befall you is not disease or poverty or failure or any unfavorable external circumstance but the revolution of your mind. The worst calamity is when you lost control of the mind. No suffering is worse than the suffering of an uncontrolled and revolving mind.

To be completely caught up in the revolving mind is the worst suffering. In this regard, your external circumstance is not relevant.

No peace is possible without first reducing the revolution of the mind. Once the mind is controlled, everything becomes possible.

On negative emotions

Anxiety, regret and fear. You don't want to feel these emotions. You don't like to experience them, yet they keep arising. This is the chief frustration. The only way out is to take action. You want to experience joy yet find yourself feeling fear. What an irony!!

Worst day again

So, one of the worst days of my life this week (16th Mar). I was on sick leave for a second day. And the regret was enormous. Regret of missing out I guess. So deep was the regret and so tormented the mind that I considered quitting and leaving. For no particular reason, but I just wanted to escape the mind and this life and this personality. The energy of regret is very intense and strong. But it has no direction and nothing to utilize. So it just gets overwhelming.

The mind is truly most dangerous. The mind is the world. They say you are not your mind. But when the mind is talking, there seems to be nothing else. Opportunities lost. Learnings thrown away.

The mind itself rises and falls. During a fall, if you can remain balanced, victory is assured.
The way out is to create space between you and the mind.

"We may think that our suffering is caused by other people, by poor material conditions, or by society, but in reality it all comes from our own deluded states of mind. The essence of spiritual practice is to reduce and eventually to eradicate altogether our delusions, and to replace them with permanent inner peace. This is the real meaning of our human life." ~ excerpt (Kelsang Gyatso)

Excerpt~~numerology life path 1

The numbers 1 and 7 may be the loneliest numbers; Fortunately, 7 has its other-dimensional beings with which to commune, as well as its books, writings, mystical revelations, and other such typical areas of focus to keep it happy.
1, however, must face at least occasional isolation and being a mundane number, its only company is desire, inspiration, goals, projects, every-day tasks, and cherished ideals. The faint at heart don’t do well with 1. In fact, a lot is demanded of 1, and they, in turn, demand a lot from others.
Heavy 1 timing, especially after heavy 6 or 3, for example, often leaves people feeling secluded and lonely, forcing them to take desperate measures to rid themselves of the feeling that they exist on a deserted island.
Sadly, even if someone with excessive 1 timing surrounds themselves with loved ones, they are likely to still feel alone. On the bright side, being forced to go it alone or start over has its advantages, and self-love eventually triumphs, as the 1 is a significant teacher in this way.
Those enduring lengthy, demanding 1 timing, which is determined as taxing by the natal configurations and, or collective timing indicators, must hang on to that which they believe in, despite opposing views from just about everyone, including those closest to them.
Instead of resenting the resistance, it’s best to thank others for helping to strengthen their tenacity. As the numerology patterns represent personal fate and karma, the actual lessons are what help you to fulfill your earthly mission.
Personal timing always changes eventually, so if you don’t like yours now, you will at some point in the future, even if it’s not until your next incarnation. Find out about your basic numerology timing and where you have 1 in your basic charts, if at all, with our Numerology Decoder software.
Whether it’s found in the natal charts or timing charts, on the high side, an abundance of 1 is frequently linked to leadership, independence, courage, original and bold action, and comfortably going one’s own way.
The strong, balanced, healthy 1 is so self-assured, shrewd, and has such tremendous drive, energy, and ingenuity, that he or she offers the uncommon and unusual, even radical. It often magically becomes the accepted standard while society celebrates their genius instead of ridiculing their audacity.
Nobody beats the 1, other than the 8 from time to time (or the clever 5 sometimes), but 8’s manipulative and confrontational practices, bully-tactics and karma-inducing behavior sends it to the end of the line while 1 takes the crown. That is, if 1 isn’t pulling similar stunts, which it has been known to do once in a while. Numerology number 1; a study of self-confidence.
Wretched is the soft 1, which can be an under-balanced 19/1 (19 being a Karmic Debt number), overwhelmed with doubt and insecurity, constantly grasping for a foothold in life. It must turn inward, strive to balance its issues, embrace all that it is, stop looking for approval outside of itself, toughen its resolve and accept that it can’t please everyone.
At the other end of the spectrum is the over-balanced 19/1 whose hallmark traits are intense aggression and hostility, selfishness, intolerance, xenophobia, and addiction.
Think of the number 1 as a straight, solid, unwavering vertical beam of light extending from above down to the ground; it’s mentally and physically oriented (not emotionally or intuitively), and two of its best attributes are its vast energy reserves and its ability to focus. Its creative inspiration, like that of a brilliant stand-up comic, is also remarkable.
Even though 1 can be the loneliest number, the energy of 1 is everything new, it’s the initiative that gets the job done, and it’s the raw determination that earns success, against all odds.

The single will of life

Life is one continuous process of un-foldment. There is only the will of life that puts pressure on all life forms. The best course is to follow the will of life without resistance. The degree to which you resist the will of life is the degree to which you suffer. Just move with the flow of life.

Inclinations and self confidence

I realize that my deepest inclination is toward introspection and contemplation. This inclination has caused neglect of external factors and external issues, which sometimes makes me an object of ridicule and humiliation. Now I am perceived as lacking in self confidence and attention to details and keep getting advice on how to improve.
