A weekly exercise

A weekly exercise

Each week an exercise will be posted for the aim of living consciously.

Telephone is a children’s game where a player would whisper something into someone ‘s ear and the receiver of the message would whisper what they heard into another player’s ear. The message that eventually came out was a mixture of the original message and bits and pieces of that which players thought they heard. So true of the inspirational prose that follows below attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Most of the words come from a letter written to his daughter while other fragments were interpreted and contributed by others.

As students, when we are in our essence we hear the whispers from a Conscious Influence. These messages are clearly understood as our Higher Centers are opened and ready to receive.

This week, be present to the whispers from Conscious Influence. Make an effort to be keenly aware of the smallest signs or shocks that are placed before you to awaken you from sleep.

Emerson’s words that inspired this post:

“Write it on your heart

That every day is the best day in the year.

He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day

who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.You have done what you could.Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
