Dearest eNews readers,
I was a young teenager when my Dad began organizing public programmes at our home where everyone could come and receive a personal message from Master Morya. I also regularly attended these programmes to receive a message, which was sometimes very short - the shortest one was only a sentence or two. I typed out every message I received and kept them in a folder, an invaluable collection that today, more than twenty years later, is still very precious and useful to me. The very first books were published by my Mum and sold at the entrance. In the hallway or on the staircase, people making their way to the public room would sometimes ask me whether or not I also read those books and when I truthfully answered 'no', they would always nod and say, "Yes, of course, that's still too difficult for you," and I would leave it at that. But years later when I did start reading them, they seemed very familiar and I wondered why I hadn't started reading them earlier.
According to me, the secret to reading Morya is to know that He's just talking to you. These books weren't created as written text but orally, before a group of people. And if you can read them in this way and can hear the words resound in yourself as you read, it becomes an enjoyable and informal get-together between you and that trusted friend or elder brother sharing his views on life.
In this month's reflective text, Master Morya talks about the mechanism that lies behind the realization of little or bigger things that can take you forward - namely, by being aware of the ideas in your life (who am I; where do I want to go; what is my goal) and by consciously connecting the thoughts that come from them with beautiful feelings within you. This relatively simple insight can have an enormous effect on your life, once you start to apply it.
Happy Easter to everyone! eRegards from Marie |

Master Morya,
Unity always brings power. When you begin to live from within yourself, and if you want to move ahead with your life, you should try to see the accordance of thought, idea and energy as something that can bring you further. What does this mean? It means that you toss up certain ideas, and keep tossing them up until you can see them; and ‘seeing’ means discovering their power. When you have a certain thought, there is a certain idea concealed within that thought. A thought is, in fact, something carried by an idea, and that particular idea behind the thought, carrying it, is able to mobilise a power.
When, for instance, you have a thought about a certain someone or something, that thought will cause you to have a feeling, and often that feeling is the power that goes with the thought. Therefore, if you analyse the feelings connected with certain thoughts, you should try to purify those feelings until you have beautiful feelings, feelings of attention, respect, openness.....and so on. Try to have feelings that can reflect a certain tenor in the thoughts.
Thoughts often carry unsuitable feelings, and that’s when things tend to go wrong in life. If you have a certain thought with a certain idea behind it, make sure it gives you good feelings (…) At that moment you must take hold of yourself and create other feelings to go along with those thoughts, and this is something you can do very consciously.
You can consciously connect your feelings to your own ideas and, in so doing, gradually attain a oneness. A wonderful idea can be completed twisted and destroyed by the feelings it gives you. Therefore, if you have certain beautiful ideas, you must adjoin them with equally beautiful feelings, so that your ideas can be worked out in a very simple way.
That is what I actually mean when I speak about the ‘simplicity’ of life. Your ideas, which are expressed by your thoughts, should gradually be coupled with beautiful feelings, such as feelings of love, patience, openness and peace. When you can do this, then these wonderful ideas are able to bear and reveal a power. When these two are adjoined - the thought that has sprung from the idea, and so represents the idea, and the purified feeling – then, with this, you can accomplish very much in life. This is the way in which you can realise certain things.
