33 last sunday: How to develop Twig in your life tree. 2 primary conditions(1) good attitude(2)Sin less.

Today the last day of this cycle 2, we were invited to reflect final outcome of catholic life-how to enjoy happiness,as guaranteed by God.

B. Pre amble for todays reading:

B.1- One self
How does you loose oneself?Did you ever try to lose something? Harder you try,harder it gets. It is when you are not trying that you lose things. You lose something when you are not aware. How does one die to oneself-(not suicide).Not to kill self,but to die. Causing pain to self,causing suffering to self, would be self defeating. It would be counter productive. You are never full of your self,as when you are in pain. You are never so centered yourself, as when you are depressed. You are never so ready to forget yourself,as when you are happy. Happiness releases you from self. It is suffering,pain, that tie you to self. Look how conscious you are of your tooth when you have tooth ache. When you don't have tooth ache,you are not even aware that you have a tooth. So it is false,to think that way to deny self is to cause pain. To deny self,to die to it,to lose it,is to understand its true nature. When you do that,it will vanish. Mt6 says"..LILES OF FIELD..THEY NEITHER TOIL NOR SPIN".

B.2 flying Catholic

Mt(28:16-20) says"you to teach all commands that Jesus has given to you & HE assures that all time HE is with you"
Now God is invisible!& HE is always waiting to see you. With birth you
(1)start Breathing-physical body
(2)subject to gravitation-belongs to world
(3)subject to your Free Will-develop your SOUL. When you die only SOUL exist. If you can overcome-gravitation you can fly!.
This indicates if you can overcome worldly passions you can fly!
When your SOUL is over joyed, you feel like a bird!.The main attraction to the world are DESIRES,POWER & WEALTH. Simple method of balancing these are given by Jesus-LOVE and PARDNING!. Following Jesus commands lead you to achieve lovable heart! with pardoning qualities.

B.3 management

There are 2 types of managements: (1)alpha-based on masculine, authoritative use of power &
(2)beta-based on feminine,cooperative use of power.
But management Jesus used was omega-which incorporate & enhance both.
HE achieved:
(1)trained 12humans who went on to so influence world that time itself is now recorded as being before(B.C) or after(A.D) from HIS existence
(2)HE worked with a staff that was totally human & not divine..a staff that in spite of illiteracy,questionable back grounds, fractious feelings & momentarily cowardice went on to accomplish task HE trained them to do. They did this for one main reason-to be with HIM again.
(3)HIS leadership style was intended to be put to use by any of us. World is crying for leaders whose goals are to build up,not to tear down;to nurture,not to exploit;to undergrid&enhance,rather than to dominate. He harnessed spirituality with omega management,which is urgently needed Today

C. Today's reading:
Prophet Daniel says(Dn 7:13-14)"..gazed..saw..clouds of heaven..like a son of man..glory..men..became his servants.."

Book of Apocalypse says(Rv 1:5-8)"Jesus..witness..washed away our sins..I am..Alpha..omega..who is..was..is to come.."

John (Jn 18:33-37) says" Are you..king..Jews? Pilate asked..mine is not a kingdom..this world..So you..king..?..yes..to bear witness to the truth.."
Reminds: the characteristics of total outcome of catholic life is to be happy. When you are happy, you feel like a bird flying over world over riding to the gravitational pull towards earth. Primary conditions need for happiness
(1) Earth bound requirements like Money,power and desires are short lived. Unless you control such requirements, you tend to go against commandments, sinning yourself,leading for fear and sorrow in this life. When You overcome earth bound needs to spirituality, you forget your self.

(2) You are born with many talent. First convert that talent to skills,(by removing laziness and Anger)by many practice. Then you gather knowledge. By hard work you can disseminate that knowledge to the society. Then you develop good attitude

(3) As catholic you are being assured for a happy life free of worries and sorrows. Hence to reach that happiness, you have to carry out your work, for the love of God.

When you practice above 1,2,3, you will see impossible things are possible.

Conclusions: To day, it sums up all out come of sunday readings in ordinary times, how to be happy in our life by following Catholicism we are ending liturgical cycle 2 from this sunday, start a new cycle 3, from next sunday!. Every liturgical cycle is a retreat for a catholic,or a new twig for you to grow! where his knowledge about God can be renewed. The knowledge is structured to provide following 5 phases of christianity:

(1)Advent ; for us to reflect how to give birth to Jesus in our life(2nd coming of christ).

(2)Christmas-How Jesus came to this world &History+major characteristics of Holy Family.

(3) LENT-Jesus examples of managing fear & sorrows.

(4) Easter-value of spirituality for our happy life.

(5)Ordinary Time-how you convert your talents to energy& follow God's will to serve living society.

So from next sunday, we start from cycle 3 advent: HOW TO GIVE BIRTH TO CHRIST IN UR LIFE?

(3)Specially how to surrender Pride and 7 vices in your life.
(4) How to convert your talents in to good attitude, for the love of God
(5)How to be more closer to God day by day-develop twigs in your life.

To days reading:
Prophet Daniel says(Dn 7:13-14)"..gazed..saw..clouds of heaven..like a son of man..glory..men..became his servants.."

Picture Jesus washed away sins
Book of Apocalypse says(Rv 1:5-8)"Jesus..witness..washed away our sins..I am..Alpha..omega..who is..was..is to come.."

John (Jn 18:33-37) says" Are you..king..Jews? Pilate asked..mine is not a kingdom..this world..So you..king..?..yes..to bear witness to the truth.."

(1) Earth bound requirements like Money,power and desires are short lived. Unless you control such requirements, you tend to go against commandments, sining yourself,leading for fear and sorrow in this life. When You overcome earth bound needs to spirituality, you forget your self.

(2) You have to develop your talents to skills(by practising many more times without laziness),then you will gather knowledge. With hard work this knowledge you can disseminate your knowledge to society. This is how you develop good attitude. REPENT means CHANGE OF YOUR ATTITUDE.(Always you change your attitudes until you reach your goal)

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:33: Date:15/11/2015. Twig Catholic:

Posted by Unknown

A. Back ground:
Last 2 sundays we reflected, basic characteristics of a saint. Wisdom and attitude towards generosity . All saints developed their attitude for the love of God. Today, one before last sunday of this cycle 2, you are invited to reflect whether you are really progressing towards God or deviating from Him. You may be a dynamic catholic in the eyes of others, but how do you know that you are actually progressing towards God?. Atleast at the end of every liturgical year you are invited to analyze the progress. Otherwise you cannot see a Twig in your life tree!

B. Preamble to

B.1 Value of Knowing yourself!

To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom. You must try to know who you are without depending on others.

All humans are different to each other. No two humans are equal physically or mentally. Every day they update their thoughts. Wisdom of life, you can enjoy only by forming daily habit to know, the influence of God in your life. When you see twig(a small very thin stem of wood that grows from a branch of a tree) of a tree, you should know, that tree is growing due to enough manure+enough sun light.
Manure is similar to your efforts(habit of prayer+good attitude) +God's grace for you(sunlight). Without these 2, you cannot see a twig.

To get God's grace you should follow His commandments{10 commandments given by father+pardoning & Love given by son+ church rules given by Holy Spirit}. When You compare to last year to this year, if you can see, that God presence More in your life, you are growing a twig, otherwise verify how to improve. You must try to know who you are without depending on others.

B.2. Today 2nd reading says"

"when all sins have been forgiven,there can be no more sins offerings"
In common management principles, there are 4 steps you will follow, to see whether you are going positively towards a goal.

Plan,Do,Control and Adjust. This is called Deming cycle.
When you are moving towards God, you have to verify whether you follow His directions.
When you have a daily habit of praying, check whether you deviate(sins) to His commandments+Will. While get it pardoned from Him for your sins, you determine what action you should take in order not to
Repeat. Then you have to regulate your will not to repeat(Control). Following day at your prayer time verify whether you have achieved. Keep on repeating same management cycle to be more close to God.
Then only you will realize, that there are no more sin offering!.
The effort you made is manure for your life tree and has to be done until you depart from this world!.

B.3 God's management cycle

God has planned to create this world with human beings. Human beings with full freedom. Full freedom means always subject to law(control). He implemented. HE watch the result and found Adam and Eve has failed. He revised the plan,introduce fear/sorrow/death etc into human beings,

Then in 2 nd cycle HE selected Jews tribe and thru' prophets, He implemented the 1st revised plan, verified results, and then implemented 3rd cycle( 2nd revised plan), thru' Joseph+Mary,he send His Son, to introduce Love +pardoning message. He revised and introduced the last plan 4th cycle(3rd revised plan), with Holy spirit to form the church. This is a dynamic plan, it always changes with Holy spirit intervening thru' Papal infallibility to instruct Catholics,as how to manage the change.

B.4 Paradigm change: Living God concept
How my grand father lead the life compared to my life today is quiet different. For example he didn't have mobile telephones, while I am having now. But there is not much different, the life of my grand fathers pet dog to my pet dog now. When human paradigm has to be changed to have a dynamic human generation, to have a wonderful world created by God. Otherwise my sons life will be same as my life lead to monotonous generation. Living God in HIS own wisdom, change the paradigm of humans, to make humans more efficient than before. There should be a mechanism of God to express HIS will, with regard to morality of humans. The mechanism is by invisible to visible pope. There is a very clear guidance given, beautifully adopted by catholic church, where there doesn't exist in other Christian denominations.

C.Today's reading:

Daniel(Dn:12:1-3) says"..Michel..stand..guard..your people..time..distress..your own..spared..names..found..those..lie sleeping..many..awake..some..disgrace.."

Hebrew says(Heb:10:11-14. 18)
Says"..priests..offering..same sacrifices..incapable..taking sins away. Christ..one single sacrifice..right hand of God..when all sins have been forgiven,there can be no more sins offerings."

Mk (13:24-32) says" Jesus..'..after..distress..sun..darkened..powers in heaven's..shaken..son of man..clouds..power..send..angels..chosen..'Take..fig tree..its twigs..you know..summer is near..before this generation passed away..Heaven..earth..pass..my words..not pass away.."

Reminds: whole actions that you have to make, as a catholic to observe promised Happiness given by God. Always you should see a TWIG in your life tree. For that on one side how you make a habit to follow the Deming management cycle to improve your life to avoid sins+follow God's Will(that is your manure) and then enjoy happiness as guaranteed by God(Sunlight).

D. Conclusions:
Twig carries two messages
(1) What you should do to be a dynamic catholic to follow God's will.
(2)Characteristics of living God.

When you understand the influence of both messages, and practice the deming cycle,(PDCA) daily to see that you are following God's will, you notice that God influence to your life is much moe than before.
Prayers are not a way of making your mind peaceful. It is a way of finding the peace that is already there and makes see your true insight, with respect that whether you follow God's commandments and follow HIS WILL. When you do that You are growing your life Twigs!

One Twig will give rise to many other twigs. To be happy with time, always try to see a twig in your life tree

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:32: Date:8/11/2015. Generous Catholic:

A. Back ground:
last section of sunday reflections{about 7 weeks-(23)-(30)}
We were told how to remove our spiritual deafness and blindness, in our life. Once we achieve that, we will be followers of God, not like 9 lepers in the Gospel. Then last sunday, we reflected about how to enjoy wisdom of life,where all saints set an example. Today another feature f saints are high lighted- generosity.

Generous man shows his greatness by the way that he treats his poor and destitute fellow beings with compassion. The true powerful become strength to all

B. Preamble for to day's reading

B.1 How to get correct attitude?
Every human in this world is born with at least one talent. Talent has to be converted to skills,by repeated practices. Then you gain knowledge on that subject. You try to disseminate knowledge to the society thru' Hard work . Then only you develop good attitude.

YOU CAN ALTER YOUR LIFE BY ALTERING YOUR ATTITUDES IN MIND. Assuming each letter in alphabet has a value equals to its sequence:a/1,b/2..z/26etc.

TALENT=20+1+12+5+14+20=72,
SKILLS= 19+11+9+12+12+9=82,
KNOWLEDGE=11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7=
96,
HARD WORK= 8+1+12+4+23+15+18+11= 98,
ATTITUDE= 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100.

Your attitude,will become your thoughts; your thoughts will become your words, your word will become your actions, your actions,will become your HABBIT. It will become your personality. Right attitude produce right actions. When U know your talent is given by God,U develop all steps above for LOVE OF GOD

LOVE OF GOD= 12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4=101;

Hence ATTITUDE with LOVE OF GOD will put you top,while hard work& knowledge will get you closer.

B.2. Love of God!
Human belongs to one family, with God as Father. God has created you to lead a happy life. Hence love of God and Love of society becomes one of major actions of a catholic. Catholic morality is stemming from these basic principles.
There can be no real morality without knowledge, no real knowledge without morality. Both are bound together like heat and light of a flame.

C. Todays' readings:
Book of kings says( 1 kings 17:10-16)" Eljah..went..sidon..city gate..widow..he said"..bring..water..to drink"'..bring me scrap of..bread..'..but Elijah..Do not be afraid'..women went..they ate..food..jar of meal..not spend..nor..jug..oil emptied..

Hebrew(9:24-28) says"..though Christ..man-made sanctuary..real one..he dose not..offer..again..or else..to suffer..end of..last age..do away..sin..sacrificing..He appears 2nd time ..reward..salvation.."

Mk(12:38-44) says"..Jesus said 'Beware.. scribes..walk..long robes..front seats.. swallow property f widows..opposite..poor widow..penny..has put more..she possessed.."

Reminds::

2 widows attitudes,who gave all possessions without calculating FUTURE for LOVE OF GOD. We observed same in life of saints.
When you develop your talent to many skills, you have to have a peace in mind
+ active. Basic requirement is you should be without anger and without laziness
You should follow commandments given by Holy Trinity. Then you should hand over all your fears/sorrows/disagreements to Mary and saints. Finally you should be efficient in time.(Use latest technology)when you develop skills always use new technology(mk2:21-23-NEW WINE-basket).

With many skills you will develop knowledge. Knowledge with hard work develop your attitudes.
Jesus warn about bad attitude(Mt21:18-20-cursing fig tree))+
He showed good attitude with miracles(Jn6: 1-14- small boy in multiplication of LOAVES)+

You have to develop your talent to Skills,(one talent will create many skills) then gather KNOWLEDGE. Unlike others,When your Hard work is for love of God,you get correct Attitude.

Conclusions:
When we know how we obtain knowledge of God we are on the right path without interfering in the work of God in our soul. A convinced person can do anything for God, when he knows who God is. Those who linked their hearts to delight of the world, then do not understand the delight in God. Last sunday, we were told how to enjoy wisdom of life, today it further extend and conclude how to develop good attitudes( for the love of God) resulting cheerfulness in your life.

How to develop your attitude?
YOU CAN ALTER YOUR LIFE BY ALTERING YOUR ATTITUDES IN MIND.

Every human in this world is born with at least with one talent. One Talent has to be converted to many skills,by repeated practices. Then you gain knowledge on that subject. You try to disseminate knowledge thru' Hard work to society. Then you get good attitude. YOU CAN ALTER YOUR LIFE BY ALTERING YOUR ATTITUDES IN MIND.
Assuming each letter in alphabet has a value equals to its sequence: A=1,B=2.. Z=26 etc.

TALENT=72,
SKILLS=82,
KNOWLEDGE=96,
HARD WORK= 98,
ATTITUDE=100.

Your attitude,will become your thoughts; your thoughts will become your words, your word will become your actions, your actions,will become your HABBIT. It will become your personality.
Right attitude produce right actions.

When you know your talent is given by God, you develop all steps above for LOVE OF GOD=101;

Hence ATTITUDE with LOVE OF GOD will put you top,while hard work& knowledge will get you closer. Today readings,you are reminded on attitude &generosity.
All saints shows this basic characteristics!, while enjoying wisdom of life.

Today readings:
Book of kings says( 1 kings 17:10-16)" Eljah..went..sidon..city gate..widow..he said"..bring..water..to drink"'..bring me scrap of..bread..'..but Elijah..Do not be afraid'..women went..they ate..food..jar of meal..not spend..nor..jug..oil emptied..

Hebrew(9:24-28) says"..though Christ..man-made sanctuary..real one..he dose not..offer..again..or else..to suffer..end of..last age..do away..sin.. sacrificing..He appears 2nd time..reward..salvation.."

Mk(12:38-44) says"..Jesus said 'Beware.. scribes..walk..long robes..front seats.. swallow property of widows..opposite.. poor widow..penny..has put more..she possessed.."

Summary: God has created You to be happy. For that
(1)you have to remove laziness from your life.
(2) Your talent to be converted to energy(skills+knowledge)
(3) By hard work, your knowledge has to be converted to attitude
(4) Your action has to be always for the love of God.

When you develop one talent, it will give rise to many skills. Many skills give rise to good knowledge on the subject. With hard work you can help society with your knowledge. Then only you will see the correct attitude. When you don't
Know reality of life,(God created you to lead a happy life and serve society) you cannot develop the correct attitude!.

This will lead to taxonomy; mental disorder deriving from loosing touch of reality& begin imagining things&acting on those imagined things. When there is absence of some expected behaviour.

consequences of not developing your talents; cursing of fig tree;

when you develop your talents for the love of God, you see miracles! Ex:multiplication of loaves;

in developing your talents you have to always use the latest technology; new wine to new basket;

When you develop good attitude for the love of God, you enjoy happiness with time!

You will be energetic with not sticking to earth bound attraction like money,power and desires
Mother Theresa is a good example
