FINDING THE LIGHT                                         SEEKINGL.TXT
      ************************************************************************
      SO YOU WANT TO FIND THE LIGHT?
      THIS FILE HAS SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE IN A WAY THAT "SUPPORTS"
      SEEKING.
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------
      NONE OF THE FOLLOWING "MUST" BE DONE, HOWEVER LIVING THESE THINGS IN YOUR
      "LIFESTYLE" WAY WILL WILL BRING INCREASED INNER PEACE AND YOU WILL
      FIND GROWTH AND INTERNAL CHANGES ARE EASIER AND COME FASTER.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      TAKE THE TIME TO GET QUIET, RELAXED, AND MEDITATE EACH AND EVERY DAY.

      TAKE A LITTLE TIME EACH DAY TO SING OR CHANT TO THE DIVINE.

      TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS EACH MONTH AND ABIDE IN SILENCE, SPEAKING NO SOUNDS
      OR WORDS.

      PRACTICE "SEEING THE DIVINE" IN EVERYONE YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH EACH
      DAY.

      BE HONEST WITH DISCRIMINATION. SILENCE OR UNTRUTH SOMETIMES IS
      APPROPRIATE, BETTER THAN CAUSING UN-NECESSARY PAIN AND SUFFERING TO
      OTHERS.

      LEARN TO OPEN YOUR HEART, AND TO TRUST, IN THE DIVINE AND IN OTHERS.
      TEMPER YOUR TRUST WITH MUCH DISCERNMENT! FOR THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE
      NOT WORTHY OF YOUR TRUST! IF GOD SENDS YOU A PARTNER, ACCEPT YOUR GIFT,
      BE FULLY THANKFUL, OPEN YOUR HEART AND GRANT YOUR LOVE AND DEVOTION.
      IF YOUR HEART IS CLOSED AND OR YOU HAVE NO TRUST, THE DIVINE ENERGY HAS
      DIFFICULTY ENTERING YOU, AS DOES THE LOVE OTHERS ATTEMPT TO GIVE YOU.

      HAVE RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE AND FOR ALL LIVING CREATURES, EACH HAS A
      PLACE HERE.

      HAVE COMPASSION FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE TROUBLED AND OR ARE LOST IN THEIR
      OWN DARKNESS AND DIFFICULTIES.

      GIVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF YOUR TIME EACH WEEK IN LOVING SERVICE TO OTHERS.

      SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

      SEEK AND FIND JOY IN YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR MATE, IF YOU HAVE THEM.
      GIVE THEM YOUR FULL LOVE, DEVOTION AND SUPPORT, THEIR HAPPINESS AND WELL
      BEING ARE YOUR SECONDARY PURPOSE IN LIFE. WHEN YOU AWAKE EACH MORNING,
      ASK YOURSELF, "WHAT CAN I DO TODAY TO BRING A LITTLE HAPPYNESS AND JOY TO
      MY CHILDREN AND MY MATE TODAY ?"

      SEE THE DIVINE IN ALL OTHERS, REMEMBER WHAT YOU "SEE" IN OTHERS THAT
      REPELS YOU, DISGUSTS YOU, DOES SO BECAUSE IT ALSO LIVES IN YOU AND IS
      A PART OF YOU.

      "HANG OUT" MOSTLY WITH THOSE WHO ALSO SEEK, FOR:

      WHEN YOU HAND OUT WITH THOSE WHO ARE STUCK, THEIR ENERGY TENDS TO KEEP
      YOU STUCK.
      WHEN YOU HANG OUT WITH THOSE WHO ARE ON THE WAY DOWN INTO "THE PIT",
      THEIR ENERGY TENDS TO PULL YOU WITH THEM.
      WHEN YOU HANG OUT WITH THOSE WHO ARE ON THE WAY UP INTO THE LIGHT,
      THEIR ENERGY TENDS TO UPLIFT YOU.

      PRACTICE RIGHT LIVELIHOOD, DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SUPPORT YOURSELF
      SO YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN ON OTHERS OR PARTNER WITH ONE WHO AGREES TO
      SUPPORT YOU AND FINDS JOY AND HAPPINESS IN DOING SO.

      SPEAK AS FEW WORDS AS ARE NECESSARY, EACH WORD SPOKEN DECREASES YOUR
      AVAILABLE ENERGY.

      PRACTICE MODERATION IN ALL THINGS.

      KEEP YOUR BODY CLEAN, ITS YOUR TEMPLE.

      GIVE YOUR BODY SOME EXERCISE EACH DAY.

      SHARE YOUR BODY ONLY WITH YOUR "PARTNER".

      BREATHE PURE AIR AND DRINK PURE WATER.

      EAT MAINLY PURE UN-PROCESSED FOOD, PREFERABLY FOOD GROWN WITH LOVING
      CARE AND NOT TREATED WITH CHEMICALS AND CHEMICAL INSECTICIDES.

      EAT AS MUCH UNCOOKED FOOD AS IS REASONABLE (FRUITS AND VEGETABLES).

      DO NOT EAT FOOD PREPARED BY A PERSON WHO IS ANGRY OR UPSET.

      QUIET YOUR MIND WHEN EATING AND GIVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION TO THE FOOD YOU
      ARE CONSUMING. IF YOU CAN NOT BE QUIET INSIDE WHEN EATING, SAY A MANTRA
      INTERNALLY DURING YOUR EATING.

      EAT ONLY WHEN YOUR BODY IS HUNGRY, AND DO NOT OVER EAT.

      EACH LIVING CREATURE IS A CHILD OF GOD.
      EAT NO MEAT OR AS LITTLE MEAT AS POSSIBLE.
      IF YOU MUST EAT MEAT TO LIVE, DO NOT PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO YOUR KILLING
      FOR YOU, DO IT YOUR SELF. TREAT THE CREATURE WITH RESPECT, BLESS IT AND
      THANK IT FOR ITS LIFE AS YOU KILL IT AND WHEN YOU EAT IT.
      GIVE YOUR FULLY ATTENTION TO IT AS YOU EAT IT. IT GAVE ITS LIFE SO YOU
      MIGHT EAT TO LIVE.

      LEAVE THE OBSCENITY CALLED CITY AND RETURN TO THE COUNTRY TO LIVE.
      LEAVE THE ENDLESS CHAOS, NOISE, POLLUTION, POOR QUALITY FOOD AND DANGERS
      OF CITY LIVING.

      RELOCATE ON THE LAND, LIVE AS HUMANS WERE INTENDED TO LIVE,
      WHERE YOU CAN AWAKE NATURALLY EACH MORNING WHEN THE ENERGY OF THE SUN
      ARISES, LET GO AND RELAX WHEN THE ENERGY OF THE SUN GOES DOWN.
      REMOVE "CIVILIZED MAN'S GOD" FROM YOUR WRIST AND RELEARN TO LIVE IN TUNE
      AND HARMONY WITH THE RHYTHMS OF NATURAL, INSTEAD OF BY THE CLOCK.

      PLANT, GROW AND HARVEST YOUR OWN FOOD WITH LOVING CARE.
