We are only affected by other people as much as we value their opinions...a self realized person is ultimately aloof from other peoples' subjective projections and speculations...being detached in praise and in criticism is key to attain inner peace and inner happiness - IronFist

Teachings of Ptahhotep Principle #8

If you are a man who controls the affairs of many, then seek the most perfect way of performing your responsibility so that your conduct will be blameless. Great is Maat (truth, justice and righteousness.) It Is everlasting. Maat has been unchanged since the time of Osiris. To create obstacles to the following laws, is to open way to a condition of violence. The transgressor of laws is punished, although the greedy person overlooks this. Baseness may obtain riches, yet crime never lands its wares on the shore. In the end only Maat lasts Man says, "Maat is my father's ground"

"The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements, compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love." - Khalil Gibran

The most sincere and living gods seek not to be worshiped or desire supplication from humanity but rather exist in true and living form, living true to form as the consanguineal inheritors of divine right. There is, however, the concern of whether an inheritor, in blindness, ignorance or lack of judgment, may squander the highest noble birthright in exchange for a valueless place in society.

[Remy Danton]

"Life will bring you many ups and downs. If you let your feelings rise and fall with the waves of circumstance, you will never attain that inner calmness which is the foundation of spiritual progress. Be careful, therefore, not to react emotionally. Rise above likes and dislikes. .. A good rule to live by, and one that will take you sailing through many tests in life, is, under all circumstances, to remain even-minded and cheerful." -Paramahansa Yogananda

Judgement, like other devices by which the world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the world.

It is actually confused with wisdom, and substitutes for truth.

As the world uses the term, an individual is capable of “good” and “bad” judgement, and his education aims at strengthening the former and minimizing the latter.

There is, however, considerable confusion about what these categories mean.

What is “good” judgement to one is “bad” judgement to another.

Further, even the same person classifies the same action as showing “good” judgement at one time and “bad” judgement at another time.

The aim of our curriculum, unlike the goal of the world’s learning, is the recognition that judgment in the usual sense is impossible.

This is not an opinion but a fact.

In order to judge anything rightly, one would have to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of things: past, present and to come.

One would have to recognize in advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and everything involved in them in any way.

And one would have to be certain there is no distortion in his perception, so that his judgement would be wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests now and in the future.

Who is in a position to do this?

Who except in grandiose fantasies would claim this for himself.

Remember how many times you thought you knew all the “facts” you needed for judgment, and how wrong you were!

Is there anyone who has not had this experience?

Would you know how many times you merely thought you were right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose such an arbitrary basis for decision making?

Wisdom is not judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment.

It is not difficult to relinquish judgment.

But it is difficult indeed to try to keep it.

GNOSTIC:
(1) “If those who lead you say to you: ‘Look, the kingdom is in the sky!’ then the birds of the sky will precede you.
(2) If they say to you: ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fishes will precede you.
(3) Rather, the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you.”
(4) “When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father.
(5) But if you do not come to KNOW YOURSELVES, THEN YOU EXIST IN POVERTY, AND YOU ARE POVERTY."
BOOK OF THOMAS

The term faqir (poor man or woman) is often used as a synonym for 'sufi' and 'darvish' among the sufis...[p]overty' (faqr) signifies destitution, impoverishment, and neediness, as contrasted to 'wealth' (ghana) which connotes 'independence' and 'self-suficiency."

Melodic Tapestry: Karmic Completion

People want a new environment, yet the same negative energy always seems to occupy it.

This is because transformation is all about the internal shift, not the external. Any blame placed on outside sources for our unhappiness will forever perpetuate that unhappiness. Pointing the finger is giving away our power of choice and the ability to create our best life. We choose: "That person is making me unhappy" vs. "I make myself happy.”

When you are in unhappy times of lack and feelings of separation— great! Sit there and be with it. Find ways to be content with little. Find ways to be happy with your Self. As we reflect on the lives of mystics past and present, it is not the things they possess or the relationships they share that bring them enlightenment— their light is within. The same light can bring us unwavering happiness (joy).

Love, Peace, Joy— these three things all come from within and have an unwavering flame— life source— that is not dependent on the conditions of the outside world. This knowing is the power and wisdom that the mystics teach us that we are all capable of achieving.

When I say, "You have the freedom of choice and the ability to create your best life", I am not referring to external conditions; I am referring to the choice you have to look inward and discover the ability to transform the lead of the soul into gold.

Transformation is an inner journey of the soul. Why? Because, as mentioned above, wherever we go, ourselves go with us. Thus, quitting the job, dumping relationships, etc. will not make us happy because we have forgotten the key factor that makes or breaks our happiness: ourselves.

When we find, create, and maintain peace, joy, and love within ourselves, we then gain the ability to embrace the external world with the same emotions, perspective, and vibration. This ability is a form of enlightenment. It is the modern man's enlightenment that transforms an unsatisfying life into one of fulfillment.
