UNIVERSAL TRUTHS: APR 08, 2024

Universal Truth 2426: SUCCESS: To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Universal Truth 2427: “It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live” — Marcus Aurelius

STAGES OF LEARNING

MY THOUGHT: 0222

In the first stage of learning, you learn from your family and friends. In the second stage of learning, you learn from professional educators. In the third stage of learning, you learn from the family that you have created. In the fourth stage of learning, you go inward and reflect upon all that has been experienced and become enlightened. EmilKoval©2010

MY THOUGHT: 0223

CLARIFICATION OF THOUGHT 222 STEP 1

Each of these steps gives you the opportunity to help others look inward. The first step to enlightenment is usually a personal enlightenment. We become aware of our inner thoughts and our uniqueness on this level. From here we can start on our journey and also help others to look inward, too. EmilKoval©2010

MY THOUGHT: 0224

CLARIFICATION OF THOUGHT 222 STEP 2.

The second step is usually our earthly enlightenment when we can recognize our relationship to the whole of humanity and the natural world. Here we can brighten our inner light to the point it can enhance the light of others who are ready. EmilKoval©2010

MY THOUGHT: 0225

CLARIFICATION OF THOUGHT 222 STEP 3

The third stage of enlightenment is that of understanding the relationship between you, humanity, the natural world, and the cosmos. Here you can stand on the threshold of union with the cosmos and reach back with a helping hand to those on this level. EmilKoval©2010

MY THOUGHT: 0226

When something bad happens, say to yourself, “This too shall pass.” Also, when something good happens, say to yourself, “This too shall pass.” The only constant in life is change. If you have inner peace, life is an adventure. EmilKoval©2010

CONTEMPLATION NOTES 257

KOVAL’S THOUGHTS ON REJECTION

REJECTIONS 01: If you reach out once and are rejected, consider it a misunderstanding. If you reach out a second time and are rejected, start to reconsider your action. If you reach out a third time and are rejected, close the door lovingly and then move on. He/she is not ready for your advice. EmilKoval©2010

REJECTIONS 02: When you have a feeling of emptiness because someone shows no love or respect for you, close that person’s door to you. Fill your emptiness with the love and the respect around you. EmilKoval©2010

CLARIFICATION ON REJECTIONS 01: (1)

1. If you reach out with good intention and are rejected, the error may be in reaching out to that person at that time. After several attempts, you should close the door gently and lovingly. Then, move on. EmilKoval©2010

CLARIFICATION ON REJECTIONS 01: (2)

2. Some people are not receptive at that moment. Later, when they are ready and if you are ready, you may reach out again. They have their lessons to learn and you may not be the teacher for them at this moment. Only respond to those who are ready for your reaching out. EmilKoval©2010

CLARIFICATION ON REJECTIONS 01: (3)

3. The rejection may be a lesson for you to back off and not interfere with their needed lessons. All this should be done with loving grace and no negativity. We have to understand that we, or they, may not be ready at this time. So, with love in your heart, you should back off. No judgements. EmilKoval©2010

CLARIFICATION ON REJECTIONS 01: (4)

4. A negative reaction to your reaching out may be a sign that they are not ready yet. When they are, they may approach you and you may be in a better place to help. The error is in not understanding this. The error is in insisting that they need you to reach out to them. Namaste! EmilKoval©2010

REJECTIONS 03: When you offer your good advice to someone, do not be offended if it is rejected. They were not ready to receive it because it might interfere with their life’s lessons. Just kindly move on. You are the beacon that they refused to see since it may interfere with their karma and dharma. Emil Koval©2010
