Good evening my dear friends.
It is a pleasure to be with you again. My name is Joseph. I have come to talk
to you about things you need to know in life. Things like: ‘Where are my own
boundaries?’, ‘How do I make the right decisions?’
You have to understand the
that each and every one of you is guided by your guides and by your Guardian
Angels. They speak to you as souls. So it is very important for you to try and
listen to your soul once in a while. Why do so many things go wrong in our
lives? Well, because we listen to our minds and our thoughts instead of our
feelings, our soul. That, my friends, is the reason why so many things go
wrong, why there is so much negativity, why there is so much ego, why there is
so much war. Do not try to reason all the time. Do not use your mind all the
time. Try to empty your selves of all the thoughts that you have because they
will interfere with you making the right decisions.
If you want to live a happy
life, if you want to live a fruitful life, then you will have to start to
listen to your soul and to the things your guides and Guardian Angels are
trying to tell you. I know it can be very hard while here on earth because we
learn to trust our brains, to trust our minds, our thoughts. We are being
taught to use it that way. But that is not the way it is intended. Try to
forget everything that was once taught and try to feel what your soul is
telling you. Your soul will not communicate with words. Your soul will give you
images. Your soul will give you feelings. Your soul will make you know what is
right and what is wrong without needing to think. So try and try harder and
start to realize your soul knows everything there is to know to be (or become)
happy, joyful, playful, loving, etc.
Know we are with you and that
we will help you as good as we can but that it is up to you to decide whether
you want that help or not, whether you want to listen to your soul or not.
Because what your soul wants is not always what your mind wants. On the
contrary, they often are very far apart. Know that it is not wrong to try and
be the best you can be.
Also understand that in
everything you do, you have your limitations, even though as a soul you are
unlimited. You need to realize this! You are an unlimited but also a limited
being in this moment in time. You, as a person, need to set boundaries. You
need to do that! Do not feel bad to say no. Do not feel ashamed to not being
able to help somebody or for drawing a specific boundary to protect yourself, because
we all have our own needs and limitations. That is a good thing.
Do not look at those
limitations as being negative but understand they are necessary to protect
yourself, your physical and mental health. They also define your personality,
your character and your talents. And in that perspective you will understand we
all need each other. We all need to be who we are, so others can benefit from
our talents and we can benefit from other people’s talents or personalities.
We are here together and we
are one, whether you want to believe that or not. We have all started our
journey from the same source and we will all end that journey going back to
that same source. So accept your limitations and boundaries and accept those of
others. Be gentle. Be understanding. Be patient with those around you and with
yourself. It is when you learn to live with or by your own limitations or
boundaries that you will understand the true nature of your being, of your
soul.
Thank you for giving me the
opportunity to talk about the subjects. They are very relevant to all of you.
Goodbye for now. Until we meet again.
Good evening my friends. My
name is Paramahansa Yogananda.
I’m very glad my friend and one of my teachers,
Joseph, has spoken to you. He has put in words very well the difference between
mind and soul; thinking and knowing. As all of you, I’ve had my struggles, I’ve
had my fights with the demons I had inside. But thanks to my master and friend
and thanks to the persistence of my own soul, I came to see the light, the
light that shines in all of us. It is that light that will guide you in times
of trouble, in times of darkness.
But the real question is: are
you willing to shine that light in times of darkness? If you choose so, you
will be seen by those who do not do so, those who hide their souls. You will be
there focal point. But does that matter if you truly seek happiness and joy in
life? That, my friends, is the choice you yourself will need to make. Nobody
else can make that decision for you. It is like Joseph said: you are the light
inside of you. Sure you can construct a wall around your soul, with your
thoughts and mind, so that nobody can see your true self, your light. But the
only thing this will accomplish is darkness and the only thing you will feel is
the urge to bring back that light out of the darkness. So choose wisely and
remember with that choice comes a great responsibility and it will not protect
you from the thoughts or the behavior of others. What it will do is give you
everything you need to be happy from the inside and that is the only true
happiness there can ever be.
I am very pleased to see all
of you here. I bless you, with my love for you, and wish you a beautiful loving
journey on this earth.
