monday Peace alert

[Jim T]

"Our joy, our peace, our happiness depend very much on our practice of
recognizing and transforming our habit energies. There are positive
habit energies that we have to cultivate, there are negative habit
energies that we have to recognize, embrace and transform. The energy
with which we do these things is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a kind of
energy that helps us to be aware of what is going on. Therefore, when
the habit energy shows itself, we know right away. "Hello, my little
habit energy, I know you are there. I will take good care of you." In
recognizing it as it is, you are in control of the situation. You
don’t have to fight it; in fact the Buddha does not recommend that you
fight it, because that habit energy is you, and you should not fight
against yourself. You have to generate the energy of mindfulness,
which is also you, and that positive energy will do the work of
recognizing and embracing. Every time you embrace your habit energy,
you can help it to transform a little bit. The habit energy is a kind
of seed within your consciousness, and when it becomes a source of
energy, you have to recognize it. You have to bring your mindfulness
into the present moment, and you just embrace that negative energy:
"Hello, my negative habit energy. I know you are there. I am here for
you." After maybe one or two or three minutes, that energy will go
back into the form of a seed, in order to re-manifest itself later on.
You have to bed very alert."

unless these is peace among religions, there will be no peace in the
world....

peace in oneself, peace in the world
