Eternal, Immortal and Ageless / What Really Matters in Life? / School Calendar

The loss
of someone you deeply Love,
absolutely shapes our whole idea
of Enduring Love.

Deep inside
our very Human Heart,
the pain of losing someone
so special,
reminds us that
Life is short.

It is
brief at best.

Life
is so breathtakingly
Beautiful.
.
And,
such Beauty can lead us on
a Spiritual Journey.
.
We can enter
a different realm of
Existence.
.With deep meditation,
through Prayer,
we can elevate
our Spiritual Vibration.
.
My Dear Friends,
our Souls
do not die.
They Journey Forever
onward.

“Love
is how you stay alive,
even after you are gone.”
–  Mitch Albom

After profound investigation,
scientists say that it is
True,
about the Immortality of our Souls.
Our bodies do die,
but our Souls live
Forever.
.
Quantum mechanics
is responsible
for this phenomenon.
It is the Science that deals with
the behavior of matter
at the atomic and subatomic levels.

Dr. Robert Lanza
is an expert in regenerative medicine
and the scientific director of
Advanced Cell Technology Company.
He was first famous for his extensive research
on stem cells, but recently
he has become involved with physics,
quantum mechanics and astrophysics.

Lanza argues that the structure of our Universe
implies an intelligence existed before matter did.
He goes on to state that space and time are not objects, but tools used by animals (like us)
to understand the world around us.
Without space and time,
Lanza believes we would still exist
as individual consciousnesses.

Lanza’s theory
is based on the work of quantum mechanics,
which has shown that particles, like electrons,
do not have a definite location
until they are observed.
Lanza argues that this means
it is consciousness that creates
the physical World.

According to quantum theory,
death is not the end for our consciousness.
Our consciousness is a quantum field,
and as such, it is Immortal.
When our physical bodies die,
our consciousness simply moves on
to another quantum field.

Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose
say that our Consciousness is data
saved at this Quantum level.

Dr. Hameroff explained:
“Let’s say the Heart stops beating,
the blood stops flowing; the micro-tubules
lose their Quantum state,”
“The Quantum information within the micro-tubules
is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates
to the Universe at large.”

Max Planck Institute for Physics’s
researchers
in Munich claim that
there is Life after death.
They say that the World in which we Live currently represents our perception.
So, after our death,
the Souls go into this indefinite beyond.

Dr. Hans-Peter Durr
from this Institute claimed:
“What we consider the here and now,
this World,
it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible,”
“The beyond is an Infinite Reality
that is much bigger.”

Your Sacred Soul
will never cease to be.
The Soul is
Eternal, Immortal, and
Ageless.

“Therefore we do not lose Heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed
day by day.”
– 2 Corinthians 4

Take time every day
to contemplate on the Soul.
Bring to mind that by its
Presence,
the body is Truly
conscious, alive, and
vital.
.
Be Grateful,
be Happy.Oh,
Child of God,
Love is not lost
when the body is left behind.

True Love
is pure Perfection.
As we remember
a lost Love,
 the pain of loss
is there,
but the Joy
in having had a brief moment
of Happiness,
Truly
matters.

The Soul
is the Conscious Life
which resulted when God
added His Breath of Life,
the Divine Spark,
to the body.

“The LORD God formed the man
from the dust of the ground
and breathed into his nostrils
the Breath of Life,
and the man became a Living Being”
– Genesis 2:7
.
A Soul is a Living Being.

Love
is a matter of
Life.

God’s Love
is the Greatest Love Story
ever.
.
It touches the Heart
and Lives
deep
within the
Soul.

Our True Being
will survive suffering,
and long after,
be remembered.
.
Our Love
is a Marvel to Behold.
It is Real,
as Real as Real
can be.

It is 
the ONLY Reality.

“Love is the only Reality
and it is not a mere sentiment.
It is the Ultimate Truth
that lies at the Heart of Creation.”
– Rabindranath Tagore

When
Love has Truly touched
your Heart,
you will understand.
The sadness of letting go
totally expresses
Life.

Say not,
they die,
our Splendid Souls.
Our Lives
are purposed fine.

Death
means not
that we resign.
For we cannot
die.
.
We vanquish Time, 
and leave behind
a Glowing Light of Memory,
of Precious Life
sublime.

 We are not just
physical bodies.
We are Infinite Light. 

Our Lives
drive our passions,
and bring Love into
Reality.

The Light
of our Love,
is a Dream
come True.

It
touches the Soul
on levels that words
will never define.

Goodnight.

What Really Matters in Life?
(How to Find out What Matters Most)

By Hugo
https://www.trackinghappiness.com/author/hugo/

Updated on January 14, 2022

We live in a world packed with material possessions and are encouraged to chase these things. As a result, our needs never seem to stop growing. So we keep running. But what really matters here?

We run after bigger television sets, newer smartphones, and better cars. We run after job promotions and luxurious holidays. We tend to think that more money in our bank accounts will translate into happier lives. While offline and online shopping can bring us short-term satisfaction, it rarely matters in the long run. There are all examples of things that don’t matter in the end.

Well then, what really matters in Life? This article shows you what matters in life and how to find the things that matter most.

What really matters in Life

The wise do not chase after materialistic items. More clothes, smarter gadgets, bigger cars, and luxurious houses can make our lives more convenient, but do these things bring us long-lasting happiness?

They don’t.

What really matters in Life is Happiness itself. Happiness comes from having a purpose in Life, loving and accepting yourself and others, and maintaining good health. Without these, you will always end up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy.

Research on the impact of relationships on life

An adult development study by Harvard on the lives of more than 700 people was conducted for over 75 years. The participants were divided into two groups – one group with participants who finished college and the other with participants from poor neighborhoods. Their personal and professional lives were studied, as well as their health and relationships.

While most people thought that money and fame made for a happier life, the research showed something different. It was good relationships that had a more positive impact on life. It’s not about having a big circle of friends or several relationships. It’s about having meaningful relationships. Quality over quantity.

In the words of Professor Robert Waldinger, the director of the study:

The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.

Robert Waldinger

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI?feature=oembed]

Psychiatrist George Vaillant, one of the earlier researchers of the study, came to the same conclusion in his own words:

The key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.

George Vaillant

Research on the purpose of life

A study by the researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health found that when people have a high sense of purpose or direction in life, they tend to remain healthier in life.

The researchers tracked data from 2006 and 2010 from a national study of participants over 50 years old. Physical and psychological examinations of their health were conducted, including walking speed, grip test, and a questionnaire to measure their sense of purpose.

The results showed that the participants with a higher sense of purpose had a reduced risk of developing weaker grip and slower speed.

Deathbed regrets

One of my favorite articles online is called “Regrets of the Dying”, which covers the most frequently quoted regrets of people on their deathbed. It’s a fascinating story that uncovers what most people regret the most as they are near the end of their lives. Here’s the gist of it:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Notice how none of the deathbed regrets are “I wish I had bought a bigger TV”?

What matters in Life and why

For anyone struggling to find what really matters in life, here are some clues.

1. Purpose in life

A sense of purpose gives us the “why” of our life. It is the reason why we do what we do. It is the reason for our actions, our work and our relationships. Our lives revolve around this purpose. It gives our life meaning – a meaning which matters in life.

However, do not panic if you struggle to find your purpose. We have all been in that place. I remember when I did, I asked myself three questions:

• Why do I get up?
• What do I want?
• What do I not want?

These questions have helped me find my purpose in life. It helped me discover what really matters to me. Whenever you feel like you are losing track of your life and yourself, you can always go back to these questions. Just remember to be honest with yourself.

2. Good relationships

Relationships are important. The positive kind, of course. In a busy world like ours, we often think that we don’t have a lot of time to give to our family or friends.

Even worse, we take it all for granted and postpone it for later, while we prioritize our work.

However, your family, friends, and loved ones are part of what makes your life happier.

Good relationships are a crucial part of a happy life.

I remember the happiest memories of my life revolve around spending time with my family and friends.

Good relationships really matter. You need to nurture these relationships with the attention, love, and care that they deserve.

Here are a few ways to do that:

• Spend time with people who support and encourage you.
• Replace the time you spend on your phone or TV with real people.
• Do things with your loved ones to strengthen your relationship with them.
• Reach out to old friends and relatives and connect with your colleagues.

Spend time with positive people and watch how it changes your life for the better.

3. Good health

Health is probably one of the most important things that we take for granted. We don’t eat healthily, we sleep poorly, and we don’t treasure our bodies. But health matters – both our physical health and mental health.

Be kind to yourself, your mind, and your body. A lot of people are not so lucky to have a healthy body, so keep it nourished and nurtured.

Here are some interesting articles filled with tips on how to focus on your health:

• How Much Does Exercising Make You Happier? (Research + Tips)
• Mental Benefits Of Walking: Here’s Why It Makes You Happier!
• 4 Ways To Find Happiness Through Yoga (From A Yoga Teacher)

Always prioritize your health. Improve your lifestyle. Eat healthily and drink plenty of water. Get out and talk to people. Visit the doctor for regular check-ups. Treat your health as if it is crucial because it really is.

4. Love and accept yourself

Accepting and loving yourself matters. When you completely embrace yourself and nurture your well-being and growth, you’ll start to see the positive effect it has on your life. A positive view of yourself leads to a positive view of the world.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself and accept yourself for who you are.

If you are unable to love yourself, you will be unable to love others too. There was a time in my life when I criticized everything I did and thought that my life fell apart because of how I am. I disliked myself. Not long after, I started distancing myself from people. It was after I learned how to love myself that I could love and care for others.

How did I do that?

• I accepted my flaws and recognized my strengths.
• I forgave myself when I made a mistake, but I also held myself accountable.
• I spent time with those I loved and asked for help when I needed it.
• I stayed positive as much as I could and let go of resentment.
• I made healthier choices and tracked my growth and progress.

 In short, I started to love myself again, and so can you. Take time to discover your true self and embrace it.

The Power of Your Love / Is Death an Illusion? / Friday: Japanese and Rose Gardens

Organic
Food for Thought.

There comes a point
in Space and Time,
in a place
that is mine,
where Love
merges with
Reality,
where YOU
are aligned with
the Perfection of
Being.

When
your affection for another
is deep enough,
and your devotion
Treasured
beyond Belief,
the abiding power of your Love
can change
the very nature
of Reality,
and YOU.

                A Pathway is illumined.

Yes,
a profound outpouring
of Love has,
on many occasions,
resulted in Miraculous events
and inexplicable results.

One such Miracle
happens
when two people
fall deeply in
Love,
and Miracle of Miracles:
A Child in Born.

We may not
think of birth
as Miraculous,
but it is widely recognized
as such.

      Miracle of Miracles

When
two people
experience such Love,
a Pathway is illumined
to the Transcendence
of all perception and reason
and even Time itself.

And
the door to this Pathway
may be opened,
and closed,
by YOUR
Heart.

Love
comes
from
within.

            A reflection of God’s desire.

The realm
of Timeless Love
is evidenced by
YOU.
Your Life
is the result
of countless and timeless
phases
of Love’s full Moon,
of God’s strong desire
for Mankind
to march forward
and carry on.

The Power of Love
is the power
over Death.

Love’s
Eternal Quest
to live in a perpetual
state of motion
is indeed
the most powerful thing
in the Universe.

Infinity of Life,
the longing
for Tomorrow,
surpasses all expressions
and all possessions
sheltered in our
desires,
or dreamt of
in our Dreams.

 ^“Love knows no limit
to its endurance,
no end to its Trust,
no fading of its Hope;
it can outlast anything.
It is, in fact,
the one thing
that still stands
when all else
has fallen.”
– 1 Corinthians 13 7-8

Our
felt Love
is mirrored in,
and emanates from,
and through
every
act of Compassion,
every
fulfillment of desire
to help others:
the homeless, the sick,
the destitute,
those who feel
lost
and without the Love
needed
to continue Life.
click here to see WHY your Love is so needed

“Death
leaves a heartache
no one can heal,
Love
leaves a memory
not one can
steal.”
– Beethoven

Each act of Caring
is a reflection
of God’s desire
to sustain Life,
to extend His Compassion
and share His
Love.

Let us not
simply Love
those around us.
Give them
permission
to Love.

For they may not
truly understand
how much
Life is in Love
with them.
They may
never know
that Life
is Love,
that Love
is the only reason
to live,
and that Love
is the reason
they are
alive.

My Dear Friends,
God is Love,
and so are
YOU.

“I Love thee with a Love
I seemed to lose with my lost Saints,
I Love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my Life!
and, if God choose,
I shall but Love thee better
after death.”
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Love begins
in a moment
and ends
in Eternity.
The Love you share
today
can mirror
the Eternal Love
of God.

Life can leave you
with an all-encompassing sense
of Love,
with a true connection
with everything, everywhere.

We exist
in a continuous and infinite
field of inseparability,
and in constant relationship
with everything.

Our mysterious existence
gives rise to a feeling
of Loving curiosity.
Our desire to become one
with this Mystery
is a Spiritual Love
emanating from a Heartfelt need
to unify
all of Life.

Every thought
we have ever had,
in the seeming privacy
of our own mind,
has been shaped in relationship
with the thoughts
of everyone we have ever known,
and everyone they have ever known,
and on and on and on
it goes.

What we think
is influenced by other people,
and by every experience
we have ever had,
with every living
and every non-living thing
on this precious
Earth,
and by God
in Heaven Above.

Nothing
is separate
from anything else.

We are one.

Humanity
is in the process
of trans-formative growth
that can lead us
to deep self-reflection.
Our Humanity
can
grow and Blossom
in profound and empowering
ways.

Joao de Deus (John of God)

“We have all been polished
again and again
by the impact of other people’s
rough edges
colliding with our own,
wearing down the irregularities
of our emotional
and mental surfaces, our egos,
hitting our weak points
and causing the occasional fracture.
Through this process,
humanity collectively moves
blow by blow,
back toward our awareness
of the deeper and gem-like perfection
within each of us.”
– “The Book of Miracles: The Healing Work of Joao de Deus”
by Josie RavenWing

There are
Infinite ways
to discover True Love,
and Infinite days
for Love
to last.

Yes,
True Love
is destined to last
until we realize,
there is no end
of Time,
for Time
does not exist.
But Love
does.

Love
is the only thing
that truly does
exist.

Goodnight.

                   Love truly does exist.

“Love is the only bow of life’s dark cloud.
It is the Morning and Evening Star.
It shines upon the cradle of the babe,
and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb.
It is the Mother of Art,
inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart,
builder of every home,
kinder of every fire on every hearth.
It was the first dream of immortality.
It fills the world with melody.
Love is the magician,
the enchanter that changes worthless things to Joy,
and makes right royal Kings of common clay.”
– Robert Green Ingersol

Is Death an Illusion?
Evidence Suggests Death
Isn’t the End.

Life is an adventure
that transcends our ordinary
linear way of thinking.

Dr. Robert Lanza selected for the 2014 TIME 100 list of the hundred most influential people in the world, along with Pope Francis, Robert Redford, and other artists, pioneers, leaders, titans and icons.

Biocentrism

Connect with me on LinkedIn (link is external)

 After the death of his old friend, Albert Einstein said “Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me.
That means nothing.  People like us – know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.“

Robert Lanza M.D.

New evidence continues to suggest that Einstein was right, death is an illusion.

Our classical way of thinking is based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent existence. But a long list of experiments shows just the opposite. We think life is just the activity of carbon and an admixture of molecules: we live awhile and then rot into the ground.

We believe in death because we’ve been taught we die. Also, of course, because we associate ourselves with our body and we know bodies die. End of story.  But biocentrism, a new theory of everything, tells us death may not be the terminal event we think.  Amazingly, if you add life and consciousness to the equation, you can explain some of the biggest puzzles of science. For instance, it becomes clear why space and time – and even the properties of matter itself – depend on the observer. It also becomes clear why the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be exquisitely fine-tuned for the existence of life.

Until we recognize the Universe in our heads, attempts to understand reality will remain a road to nowhere.

Lanza Named One of the Top 50 “World Thinkers”

Dr. Lanza selected as one of Prospect Magazine’s “World Thinkers 2015.” The thinkers were chosen for “engaging in original and profound ways with the central questions of the world today.
.

In truth, you can’t see anything through the bone that surrounds your brain. Your eyes are not portals to the world. Everything you see and experience right now‚ even your body, is a whirl of information occurring in your mind. According to biocentrism, space and time aren’t the hard, cold objects we think. Wave your hand through the air – if you take everything away, what’s left? Nothing. The same thing applies for time. Space and time are simply the tools for putting everything together.

Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix. Life has a non-linear dimensionality;
it’s like a perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.

“The influences of the senses,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson “has in most men overpowered the mind to the degree that the walls of space and time have come to look solid, real and insurmountable; and to speak with levity of these limits in the world is the sign of insanity.”

Why You Will Always Exist

  There is no death. Only the beginning.                   – Robert Lanza

 You’ve laughed and cried. And you may even fall in love and grow old with someone, only to be ripped apart in the end by death and disease. The universe leaves you dead or grieving with a hole in you as big as infinity.

Can life really be reduced to the laws of physics, or are we part of something more noble and triumphant?

Are we part of a depraved cosmic joke, the product of a vast and ruthless Universe?

Through the eyes of science, you’re a speck of junk spinning around the core of the Milky Way galaxy, which itself is whirling through the unfathomable blackness of space. It’s all in the equations, you know. Nothing to get philosophical about. Nobel physicist Steven Weinberg summed it up best:

The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little bit above the level of a farce and gives it some of the grace of a tragedy.
