Cancers hate to see others suffering and will do whatever they can to help those in less fortunate circumstances than themselves.

Sorry for my absence!

I have neglected this blog for a few months now, it's hard to keep up as of now my life is very chaotic. But I am doing better than ever, trying to open my mind to abilities (seeing auras, astral projection, etc). I hope everyone is having a marvelous day, I know I have. :) Stay True with Love and Compassion.

Quote of the day! {via buddhanet.net}

Being full in terms of physical sensations - sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings - is to be full of worldly food; but being filled with the highest joy - which comes from a peaceful mind free from the disturbance of sense-object - is to be full of the food of the Dhamma

Sometimes I don’t get the point of things. I feel like people go about life the wrong way. Everybody puts such a high premium on school, because that gets you into college which gets you a job which makes you money. So what happens when you get the money? I feel like it’s a waste of a life/ time. There are too many unnecessary steps.

Had a great dinner!

Me and my dearest friend walked to our favorite local Chinese buffet in the rain. I love nature. And I love Chinese food. :)

I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal-and soon they’ll forget my number.

Meditation is our natural solution to our problems.

In todays modern society, there is so much stress, depression, suicide and anger. It's so sad that most of us resort to pills to fix our emotional status when the problem isn't all the severe, although there are many severe cases don't get me wrong. And my generation is turning to hard drugs to "escape" their problems. What I say is, neither of these methods truly get rid of the problem. You will, most likely always have to take this medicine. And the illegal drugs only temporarily numb people from their issues, but when the high is gone they are on rock bottom. If they only knew the cure was within their own minds, only then will we see dramatic progress. The Buddha taught us that you shouldn't run away from these feelings [anxiety, anger, depression] but to acknowledge them and see that we are the cause to all of our problems. Meditation helps us confrot all of our suffering in a calm and pure way. Why is there a need for suffering anymore when the answer is already within us?

Probably one of the best.
