See Death as a Blessing

Two days ago, I received a shocking news that one of the devotees of my master had passed on from a sudden heart attack, a lady I remembered fondly for the last 5 years in my spiritual life. She and her husband attended a few Inner Awakening programs with me and she was such a sincere devotee with a bubbly personality and a thunderous laughter. I remembered she attended one of my Laughter Meditation workshops and her laughter created a wave of energetic resonance in the room!

At the wake last night, her husband shared with me that he was not able to accept this sudden death because she had been a life companion, a business partner, a caring mother of  his teenage son and his very source of emotional support.

Rewiring of Root Cognitions for Enlightenment

Are you aware of your root cognitions?

Many of us carry certain root cognitions that form the basis how we respond to life. What you strongly believe as you is the root cognition. Basically, root cognition is a mental pattern which drives your thinking even before you recognize the quality of your thinking.

So understand the importance of having the right fundamental root cognition.

Plan For A Graceful Exit

Are you the type who lives with the idea that you will never encounter death? Do you avoid talking about death till you are at your deathbed?

Death is the most mysterious of mysteries. There are 2 groups of people on planet earth: one group who believes in life after death and those who do not believe in rebirth. In the Western philosophy, they don’t believe the concept of rebirth because their logical minds do not allow them to believe it since there is no proof. That is why the secret of death is not a popular concept in the West because it can never be proved scientifically. Hence people in the West are in a hurry and great anxiety to fulfil all their desires as soon as possible since they think they don’t have a second chance. With this belief driving their cognition, they start to search for the maximum comfort and joy from the outer world. It also creates a sense of purpose in life and the concept of God in them.
