Mindfulness

There Is Faith In Humor

Based on the article on Awaki.org, here is my reflection:
​
Narcism is considered a mental health problem. I have come across a few narcissists who would hold on to the name and fame at the cost of the people who believe in them. Such narcissistic people use others for their selfish gain, power, money and position. How do I deal with such narcissistic people especially when they use their power to exploit people for their benefits? First of all I try to avoid them not to be trapped by the net of selfishness they spread for attaining their selfish goals. Secondly, I make people aware of such persons' intention so that they do not become victims of such selfish and self-centered people. I have seen such narcissistic people even in the spiritual realms. They take advantage of their followers' childlike innocence and faith for fulfilling their hunger for sexual satisfaction and power hunger. Sadly and unfortunately I have seen such "spiritual gurus" exploiting such innocent and naive folks. I have seen little innocent children sharing their toys with other children and offering them as gifts from their hearts with no expectations in return. They teach adults like us the joy and happiness in sharing their things willingly and joyfully. This way we become citizens of the world. It is a movement from 'Me To, 'We' or 'Mewe'. It is like by giving we receive As adults it is our responsibility to teach our children the value and significance of offering our services for the goodness and wellbeing of others who need our unconditional help and support.

Namaste.

Are all Popes holy? Everyone is human. We go through dark sides into light and may slip backwards throughout our journey. I believe the spiritual way is recognized when the ladder may be getting wobbly. Do we give up? Or laugh aloud, "God of Wisdom what are my next steps? Do I find victims that I can overpower? Oh, I hear you God of Playfulness there is no treasure to overpowering others.

Please let me sit with you Holy Spirit. You want me to keep repeating the following: "Thank you God for a beautiful day; God bless me." It makes me feel vulnerable with humility is teachability. I am quieting in softness of your heart. I'm smiling. My smile is growing in abundance. I'm being filled with an abundance of a light stabilize heart and a boom of laughter. Thank you, God, for a beautiful day; God bless me. There Is Faith In Humor.

Lovely piece by the Pope. I love the jokes. The problem is we have one who is running our country with others by his side and many others are letting him because they fear him. And then there are those who claim to be Christian and stand for family values who put him in power and massage his ego. We can't avoid or ignore him hoping he will go away or others will stop him. It is so hard to watch the train wreck.
