Preamble for todays reading:
B.1 Taxonmy:
Most of the people in the world, will suffer from mental worries.
Mental disorder deriving from loosing touch of reality & begin imagining things&acting on those imagined things. When there is absence of some expected behavior,you lead either
(1)Flat affect: exhibits no emotionality what so ever. or
(2)Alogia: thought processes are dull, blocked,or generally improvised or
(3) Avolition: no ability to persist in an activity,looks like extreme lack of motivation.
How to loose the reality?
When you forget that God has created you
to lead a happy life,with unique personality
You loose reality.
What is the purpose of living?
your talents has to be converted to energy with following God's WILL.
What is energy?
Your energy consist of knowledge,skills and attitude,equivalent to head,hand, heart.
How to develop knowledge?
Knowledge consist 6phases
Remember/understand/apply/
Let's analyse the meanings;
Skill:ability to do talent well,since you have learned& practice.
Attitude:Opinion&feeling that you usually have about your neighbour:
Your ATTITUDE will depend upon your knowledge+skill!
We say we are very much lack in attitude's. In order to have good attitudes 1st,we should have good knowledge about God, then you should convert more than 1 skill of yours,to energy.
Try to develop knowledge about God
(1) by following His commandments given by Father+Son(Jesus)+Holy Spirit
(2)Daily analyze, deviation(sin),get it pardoned from God
(3)avoid 7vices(sloth,anger, Pride,lust, envy, avarice,gluttony)
(4)develop your mind from peace to worry less then to happy
(5)be healthy by doing excercise+drinking water
(6)Use latest techniques in developing your talents like using internet,email etc
Finally, you will see you are on correct attitude!
IN ORDER TO AVOID TAXONOMY, ONE SHOULD BE AWARE, WHO HAS CREATED YOU AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HIS CREATION! ONCE YOU ARE CONVINCED OR DEVELOPED FAITH ON GOD, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE DYNAMIC
B.2 sub conscious mind and Catholism
B.2.1 Difference between conscious and sub conscious mind
These are not 2 minds. They are 2 spheres of activity within one mind. Conscience mind is reasoning mind. It is the phase of mind which chooses. Ex: you choose your book, your home, your partner.
On the other hand without any conscious choice on your part,your heart beats,process of digestion,circulation, breathing are carried out automatically by your subconscious mind, independent to your conscious control.
it is on the job 24 hrs/day and never sleeps. It is always trying to help and preserve you from harm. YOUR SUBCNSCIOUS MIND ACCEPT WHAT IS IMPRESSED OR WHAT YOU CONSCIOUSLY BELIEVE. It doesn't reasons things out like your conscious mind, and it does not argue with you controversially. Your sub conscious mind is like a soil, which accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. your subconscious mind is all wise and knows the answers to all questions. It does not argue with you or talk back to you. You have to be careful, in not impregnate yourself with negative thoughts, and it responds accordingly. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE. CHOOSE HEALTH and HAPPINESS. CHOOSE TO BE CO-OPERATIVE, JOYESS, FRIENDLY, LOVABLE AND THE WORLD WILL RESPOND.
B 2. 2- influence of Catholicism
Treatment for fear!
Catholicism says" that God created you to lead a happy life". Hence when you follow all commandments, your happiness is guaranteed.
Over come the fear by substituting"I can do all things through the power of God.
B.2.3 what Jesus said?
Belief is a thought in the sub conscious mind. It means to accept something as true.
JESUS INSISTED UPON,WAS FAITH. According to your faith it is done unto you, you can see that Jesus is actually appealing to the operation of subconscious mind of blind men.
B 2. 4 Effect of comparing others
Always remember, in the eyes of God you are different person to others. What God expect from you is different to others. What God guarantee is happiness with respect to time.
Envy and jealousy are stumbling blocks to the flow of happiness. Rejoice in the prosperity of others!.
B.2.5. Practical exercise:
-you can over come any mental conflict regarding happiness, by affirming frequently" by day and by night I am a unique person. I have been created by God, to lead a happy life"
B.3 recent example:
Life of st john paul II
Karol Wojtyla,polish,Born18/5/1920.
St John Paul II, wrote in his encyclical on"Gospel of Life"- Whether abortion & euthanasia are legal or not, criteria is not the LEGALITY BUT MORALITY. A life devoted to THE LOVE OF GOD & THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR as expressed in thoughts,words,& deeds-that was mattered more to St JP II than whether U or I die by disease,accident or just old age,etc. After Parkinson disease ravaged his body,st JP II did not eliminate his public appearences. He allowed world to see his health deterioriate. Suggestions of retirement & resignation abounded but he had none of that!
His feast day is 22nd October.
C. To days readings:
Jeramiah says(Jr 31:7-9)"..shout..lord..saved..
Hebrews says(Heb 5:1-6)"..high priest..mankind..with God..offer gifts..sacrifices for sins..no one takes this honur himself.."
Mk(10:46-52) says"..Jesus left Jerico..blind beggar..have pity on me..what do you want me to do..see again..Go your faith has saved you.."
Remind: Peace and happiness are possible and always available to us if we make an effort to gain them. When mistakes occur, we should understand and defeat them. We should be clear about what are our mistakes!.(Blindness). Last 7 sundays we reflected those things; when we summarize;
(1) church is formed by Holy spirit.
(2)How to practice Catholicism? Praying and forming habits
(3) Before judging other christian denominations, be a good catholic
(4)How to follow God's will in family environment?
(5) How to follow God's will in your personal life?
(6) Without your knowledge you can develop pride.
(7)How to renounce yourself as Catholic?
When we reflect the sunday readings and follow the implying instructions, your spiritual blindness will be removed; you will be aware about your life. You will aware about existence of God and Gd created You to lead a Happy life.
D. Conclusion:
When we are open to sunday readings; we can remove our deafness. Then we have to practice it. More you practice; more you will convince!. 7 sundays we were told how to practice; then you can renounce God in your life and enjoy happiness with time(as promised by God)
