Unnatural

Indeed, all self-discipline might be defined as teaching ourselves to do the unnatural…to transcend and hence transform our own nature.

The Relaxed Soul on the Power of Silence

If we sit in silence everyday we begin to see… that most talk means nothing.

Soon we find silence is much more important than talk.

Through silence we become…

Eager to server,

Need less,

Feel relaxed,

Feel peaceful,

Feel content,

Creativity expands,

And soon we have a small group of friends that also enjoy silence.

Most of all silence brings about the expansion of our mental powers.

Dr. Paul Haider

Thought

Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.

The Relaxed Soul on Seeing with Different Eyes

Today a new amphibian was discovered in Northern India.

Tomorrow who knows what will be discovered.

Yet more and more people believe we have discovered everything there is to discover. They believe there is nothing new… and there is nothing new to understand.

Where is the awe… the heart felt inspiration… where is the curiosity… and the ability to see beauty everywhere.

Where is the child?

Children see new things… where others see nothing.

The spirit of a child will save our species.

Remember to keep your inner child alive and well… even when people chastise your child and call you crazy!

Dr. Paul Haider

Happiness

First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes.
