Meditation for the full moon of 12th August 2022:

Master Morya,

"It may be that you are deeply moved by certain things, that you live with a deep sensibility but that this never comes into play. It's always being pushed aside by circumstances, by all the work that has to be done, by responsibilities. Once in a while, try to turn that around and simply look to see who you are, what you want. Not what others want of you instead of what you yourself want.

You may be very busy because of time limits, because of circumstances, because of things that need doing, because of what you have to achieve in order to get ahead financially, to be comfortable in life. And you think: "There's a great sigh of desire in my life that I'll never get around to and, because of all those circumstances and all those responsibilities, it finally seems like I can't know myself anymore."

It can be quite difficult in life, but if every now and then you make some time for yourself, not for others, but really for yourself, you may find—not immediately but over time—that certain matters become completely clear. You'll begin to realize: 'this should actually be possible in my life.' Then you shouldn't think: 'okay, now I have that insight, now I have that conviction and so I have to do something with it.' No, first of all try to live that out in the small things you are confronted with, such as: 'I've found that I'm spending too much time in this direction, on this matter, and not on that and that.

Be very careful with yourself in this change, this turnaround. Do it from the experience of a lifetime. Not from theory, not from a thought, not from a glimpse of something you caught somewhere, like, 'this might also be good'. All this can of course play a role, but start off from your life, from what you therefore experience: 'if I do this, it's better than if I do that'. As you gradually begin living from this expansiveness, from this understanding, you will begin to increasingly come to stand in your own life, which is the intention. ’

(…)

Dare to be yourself, also in small matters, such as: 'no one does this like me, and yet I love doing it this way.' Then do that. But don't expect others to shout 'hurrah' and go along with it. Just doing what you carry in your heart is important.

(…)

Realize the importance of your life and that you can do good things with it. Don't be distracted by the nonsense of the world, by the sorrow of the world, by the misery of the world. Stand in your power and do things that are important from within yourself. If you do that, there will be people here on this earth who will live with a great attention for one another and with a right attitude, people who are not sad in their lives, who don't succumb to an excess of tension, but know: 'from our personal lives we've learned to do good things.'

Know that you are being guided. When you are honest with yourself, you are guided and naturally come to the right things.

You may be facing difficulties and think: 'I don't see how to deal with this.' Then you shouldn't think: 'there's nothing that can be done.' Your life is important and on this path of honesty you will always be helped. Over time, it may be that certain matters gain more and more power in your life, so that you feel: 'I'm really making progress.' Don't think that you must necessarily have a difficult life."

Master Morya
