"If I am to be fallen into love, I will. And if as a result I will appear to be stupid, disillusioned, and poor of judgement, I will. And I would be damned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high.
This is my spirit. I'm unbreakable."

Life of Pi (movie)

Plot :

A Canadian novelist named Yann Martel meets an Indian man, Pi Patel, with some knowledge from Pi's late father's friend, known to Pi as "Mamaji", for a good book. Pi tells the novelist his life story.

In a flashback, Pi's father named him Piscine Molitor after a swimming pool in France. By the time he reached secondary school, he changed his name to "Pi" (the Greek letter, π) because he was tired of being called "Pissing Patel" (due to the pronunciation of his name). Pi's family owned a zoo, and Pi took great interest in the animals, especially a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. When Pi tries feeding the tiger, his father runs in and angrily tells him that the tiger is dangerous, and forces Pi to witness the tiger killing a goat to prove his point. Pi is raised Hindu and vegetarian, but at 12 years old, he is introduced to Christianity and then Islam, and decides to follow all three religions as he "just wants to love God". His mother supports his desire to grow, but his father, a rationalist, tries to convert him to his own way of thinking.

When Pi is 16, his father decides to move the family to Canada, where he intends to settle and sell the zoo animals. Pi's family books passage on a Japanese freighter named Tsimtsum. During a storm, the ship founders while Pi is on deck. He tries to find his family, but a member of the crew throws him into a lifeboat. As the ship falls into the sea, a freed zebra lands on the boat with him. Pi watches helplessly as the ship sinks, killing his family. After the storm, Pi finds himself in the lifeboat with the injured zebra, and is joined by an orangutan. A spotted hyena emerges from a tarp covering half of the boat and snaps at Pi, forcing him to retreat to the top of the tarp while it kills the zebra and orangutan. Later, Richard Parker emerges from under the tarp, killing the hyena.

Pi retrieves biscuits, water rations and a hand axe and builds a small raft to stay at a safe distance from Richard Parker. Pi begins fishing and is able to feed Richard Parker. He also collects rain water for them to drink. When the tiger jumps off to hunt fish, Pi considers letting it drown but ultimately helps it climb back into the boat. During a night-time encounter with a breaching humpback whale Pi loses much of his supplies, forcing him to eat fish for the first time in his life. Pi trains Richard Parker to accept him in the boat and realises that caring for the tiger is keeping him alive.

Weeks later they reach a floating island of edible plants, supporting a mangrove jungle, fresh water pools, and a large population of meerkats. Pi and Richard Parker eat and drink freely and regain strength. At night, the island transforms into a hostile environment: Richard Parker retreats to the lifeboat and the meerkats sleep in the trees while the fresh water pools turn acidic and digest the dead fish in the pools. Pi discovers that the island itself is carnivorous after finding a human tooth embedded in a flower. The next day, Pi and Richard Parker leave the island.

The lifeboat reaches the coast of Mexico. Pi is crushed that Richard Parker does not acknowledge him before disappearing into the jungle. Pi is rescued and brought to a hospital. Insurance agents for the freighter interview him, but do not believe his story and ask what "really" happened. Remembering an incident aboard the ship when the ship's cook insulted his family, he makes up a less fantastic account of sharing the lifeboat with his mother, a Buddhist sailor with a broken leg, and the cook. According to this story, the cook killed the sailor in order to eat him and use him as bait. In a later struggle, Pi's mother pushed her son to safety on a smaller raft before the cook stabbed her and threw her overboard. Pi later returned, took the knife and killed the cook.

Next, Yann notes the parallels between the two stories: the orangutan was Pi's mother, the zebra was the sailor, the hyena was the cook, and Richard Parker was Pi. Pi asks which story the writer prefers, and the writer chooses "the one with the tiger" because it is "the better story", to which Pi responds, "Thank you. And so it goes with God". Glancing at a copy of the insurance report, Yann sees that the agents wrote that Pi survived 227 days at sea with an adult Bengal tiger, meaning they had also chosen the more fantastic story to be the one recorded as the real story.

So, tonight I watched this movie for the second time. I remember watched this on cinema all by myself last year, and yes, I teared up. Like a lot. But I don't clearly remember how it felt..this time, I feel too emotional..and get so much deeper meaning that I can't see before.

Is this because many things have happened to me in this past year therefore I even have a different perspective over a movie?

Well, It's just sooo my kind of movie..where it talks about; belief, fate, God's shape, universe, human even animal soul, life lesson, and my all time favorite animal. I found myself astonished..by that I mean..what in the world people made a film that great and I didn't realize at the first place!

All those beautiful scenes, meaningful lines, stupendous and amazing thoughts, all packed in one and be a masterpiece for someone like me.

Anyway, I am actually writing this post right after I just got done watching the movie and it makes me can't arrange my word neatly. :)

Over all I just want to tell you guys that "Life of Pi" is a very recommended movie, if you're looking for a movie with a deep level of thinking and sparkling view , I could say it is one of the best, so far. :)

Memorable Quotes:

"Why would a God do that? Why would He send his own Son to suffer for the sins of ordinary people? | Because He loves us. God made himself approachable to us — human — so we could understand Him. We can't understand God in all His perfection. But we can understand God's Son, and his suffering, as we would a brother's. | That made no sense! Sacrificing the innocent to atone for the sins of the guilty. What kind of love is that? But this Son… I couldn't get Him out of my head."

"Thank you Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ. — I came to faith through Hinduism, and I found God's love through Christ. But God wasn't finished with me yet. God works in mysterious ways, and so it was he introduced himself again. This time by the name of Allah. — Allāhu Akbar. My Arabic was never very good, but the sound and feel of the words brought me closer to God. In performing salah, the ground I touched became holy ground, and I found a feeling of serenity and brotherhood."

"And how can he find his way if he does not choose a path? Listen, instead of leaping from one religion to the next, why not start with reason? In a few hundred years, science has taken us farther in understanding the universe than religion has in 10,000. | Science can teach us more about what is out there, but not what is in here(heart). |  I do not expect us to all agree about everything, but I would much rather have you believe in something I don't agree with than to accept everything blindly. And that begins with thinking rationally."

"Faith is a house with many rooms. | But no room for doubt? | Oh plenty, on every floor. Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it is tested."

"Words are all I have left to hang on to. Everything's all mixed up, fragmented, can't tell daydreams, nightdreams from reality anymore."

"No one has seen that island since, and you'd never read about those trees in any book. And yet, if I hadn't found those shores I would have died, if I hadn't discovered that tooth I would have been lost alone forever. Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, he was watching. Even when He seemed indifferent to my suffering, He was watching and when I was beyond all hope of saving... He gave me rest and gave me a sign to continue my journey..."

"I wept like a child. Not because I was overwhelmed at having survived, although I was. I was weeping because Richard Parker left me so unceremoniously. It broke my heart. You know my father was right: Richard Parker never saw me as his friend. After all we had been through he didn't even look back. But I have to believe there was more in his eyes than my own reflection staring back at me. I know it, I felt it. Even if I can't prove it. You know, I left so much behind: my family, the zoo, India, Anandi. I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker's a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you." 

"I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye."

In the end..this movie makes me feel like..

I need to find my own journey..

to really understand the world..

to literally talk to universe..

and see my God..

A Wonderful Chance, and Million Lesson :)

I have this short story..

So, this morning I was volunteering for a children coloring competition. There were so many kids came with their parents, bought a pallet of expensive crayons, mini table, and dressed cute.

After about an hour it passed, I realized that there's a girl staring to snacks, souvenirs and presents I prepared for the participants..wearing filthy clothes, looked tired and yearn.

So I asked her, "what are you doing here?"

She answered, "can you give me one of these?"

And then I realized she's a beggar..

My friends whispered, "no, she can't. She's not joining the competition", well cause the rule is we can only give those to anyparticipant kid.

So I told her, "why don't you join the competition? So we can give you this."

My friends said, "she doesn't even have any crayon"

And I tell her, "I would buy you one.."

Then I gave her this coloring pencils, she seemed excited and started to coloring her draw. At the rear seat, without table, without parents, but she did it passionately..

Suddenly, there were a boy and a toddler approached her, turns out they are this girl's brother and sister. She told 'em she's joining the competition so she can give themselves some prizes. Her bro and lil sist seemed also excited to hear that, so they just sit there behind this girl, wait patiently and supported their sister.

Just for a small souvenir.....it broke my heart.

After she finished, I told her, "don't forget to write down your name, dear"

She replied, "okay. Kak, do you know, I learned to write at home..I don't go to school"

it made me really sad, and I said, "yeah, I know..and you are the smart kid..anyway, where's ur mom?"

She answered, "I don't know..probably at some traffic light, looking for money"

..and I was like..almost tear up.

The reality that she takes care of herself alone kills some part of me.

And unpredictably, she returned the coloring pencils I gave her, safe and sound.

Then I gave her the souvenir and snacks as I promised. This girl, her bro and lil sist seemed happy.

I looked at her draw, not as good as the other kids, but in my eyes..you are the winner, girl.

After she left, my another friend asked me, "why didn't you just give her the souvenir and snacks directly? I think it would be fine if you just steal one for her."

I answered..

"No, I wanted to teach her this life lesson..that we have to fight first before we get what we want.

And so did she..taught me how to be tough" :)

hold on, kid. you have no idea how brave you will be

*

And at the other side, today was also interesting for me..

Well, the competition I said above was the first part of my job in this event..

btw, it's kinda hard for me to decide who's the winner :p

My second thing to do is accompanying some Veteran from my country..

#SejutaBungaUntukPahlawan 

Rasa syukur dapat berkontribusi dalam acara yang merangkul para pejuang Indonesia menuju kemerdekaan. Tak lupa pesan salah satu dari mereka, "Nak, jadilah penerus bangsa yang baik."

So I thank God, for such a good day I had.

Kahlil Gibran; "Cinta yang Agung"

Adalah ketika kamu menitikkan air mata, dan masih peduli terhadapnya..
Adalah ketika dia tidak mempedulikanmu, dan kamu masih menunggunya dengan setia..
Adalah ketika dia mencintai orang lain, dan kamu masih bisa tersenyum sembari berkata,
"Aku turut berbahagia untukmu’
Apabila cinta tidak berhasil..bebaskan dirimu..
Biarkan hatimu kembali melebarkan sayapnya, dan terbang ke alam bebas lagi..
Ingatlah, bahwa kamu mungkin menemukan cinta dan kehilangannya..tapi ketika cinta itu mati, kamu tidak perlu mati bersamanya..
Orang terkuat bukan mereka yang selalu menang..melainkan mereka yang tetap tegar ketika mereka jatuh
“Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana..”
 seperti kata yang tak sempat diucapkan kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu..
“Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana..”
seperti isyarat yang tak sempat dikirimkan awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada..

“..pabila cinta memanggilmu..ikutilah dia walau jalannya berliku-liku. Dan, pabila sayapnya merangkummu..pasrahlah serta menyerah..walau pedang tersembunyi di sela sayap itu melukaimu..”

And everybody deserves a second chance..

 Untuknya yang tak kunjung pergi

By : Pishella Suryoputri

cc : Writing Club Psikologi - Event

Karena bersamamu adalah mustahil..

Karena akan membutuhkan waktu selamanya untuk membuatmu memahami perasaanku tak nihil..

Percakapan antara dua hati ini selalu berulang namun tak pernah menemukan ujungnya

Demikian pula dengan segala jatuh-bangun yang ada.

Ketidaktegasan yang menghancurkan tiga hati sekaligus pada akhirnya

Ketidakfahaman, ketidakpastian, mungkin merupakan hal yang mutlak dalam kehidupan yang nanar..

Namun,ke-tidak-punya-otak-an-untuk-bertahan-di-atas-rasa-rendahdiri-dan-dikatakan-penghancur-atas-apa-yang-sudah-semestinya pun rasanya tak benar..

Rasa sabar memang tak terbatas, namun manusia punya yang namanya rasa lelah.

Hasrat yang tak tentu arah.

Serta dimata siapapun jelas salah.

Dan mungkin itu yang membuatnya menyerah.

Walaupun harus kalah.

Selalu diputarbalikkan kisah  hingga pasrah.

Harusnya tau, bahwa semakin banyak yang diterima, semakin banyak pula yang nanti harus dilepaskan.

Dengan atau tanpa kerelaan.

Walau sesungguhnya bersedia mengorbankan apapun untuk menunjukan kesungguhan.

Namun untuk menjadi tamu kehidupanpun rasanya terlalu menyakitkan.

Mematahkan semua angan-angan.

Memupuskan semua harapan.

Mengikhlaskan dengan ratapan.

Bertahan dengan sisa-sisa kekuatan.

Dengan ekspektasi memperbaiki keadaan.

Tanpa merasa menjadi pihak yang paling tersakiti,

Menyadari cinta tidak seharusnya begini.

Mungkin semua ini tak lebih dari obsesi.

Kesalahan interpretasi yang mengakibatkan kerusakan hati hingga mati.

Dan jalan yang tersisa hanyalah pergi..

Mungkin selama ini aku takut, karena aku kalut.

Walau bukan sebagai peran terindah di hatimu,

Cerita yang panjang rasanya sejak pertama bertemu,

Sampai pada tatapan yang menyadarkan adanya rasa itu

Dan berdua dibawah naungan hujan yang membuat pilu

Bukan niat menjadi kekasih utama,

Hanya selamanya ingin kau merasa lebih baik dan bahagia

Sayang bukan aku orangnya

Walau diri ini mengetahui takdirnya

Dua jiwa yang dulu bersatu kini tiada guna

Tlah ku baca tugasnya di dunia

Membuatku benci menyusahkannya

Walau mustahil bagi hati melupakannya

Mencintaimu sungguh sulit

Tapi lebih tak mudah tuk menghentikannya walau pahit

Reinkarnasi

By : Pishella Suryoputri

cc: Writing Club Psikologi - Event

Wahai, Semesta..

Penguasa bagi segala yang nyata dan fana..

Andai boleh aku bertanya,

Namun janganlah kau murka..

Jika dapat kau katakan

Apa aku berbuat kesalahan

Siapa aku di masa lalu

Hingga kini ku jadi benalu

Untuk hidupku sendiri

Parasit bagi sosok yang rumit

Berbelit hingga semua terasa pahit

Aku benci menjadi empati

Aku lelah menjadi pasrah

Berulang kali aku diberi kesempatan hidup

Dengan kekuatan yang tak kunjung redup

Hingga aku terpaksa menjadi tertutup

Bukan aku tak bersyukur

Tapi jiwa-jiwa ini semakin lebur

Dalam dunia yang penuh takabur

Alam yang sulit mengerti arti kata jujur

Seringkali aku lemah dan termangu

Menanggung perih yang bahkan bukan punyaku

Ingin rasanya berontak..

Namun bukan tugasku tuk menggertak

Memendam apa yang kudengar

Suara hati dan hingar bingar

Berbagai dimensi ku arungi

Menjadi saksi lapisan kehidupan yang terjebak hingga masa kini

Mereka tak mengerti,

Mereka tak memahami..

Tapi itulah mereka yang tak mau membuka mata..

Biarlah paham dengan cara pemaknaannya

Terkadang..

Ketika otak sedang kehilangan sinkronisasinya dengan hati, ya jadi begini..

Hasrat melompat, terbebas dari dunia yang selalu memberi batas,

Lari dari semua sinergi yang terus melingkari kemanapun aku pergi

Mungkin..

Aku hanya merindukan masa ku sebelumnya, ketika aku menjadi siapa..

Saat itu aku memilih melintasi malam, menanti rembulan atau lampu dan cahaya..

Saat manusia sudah tak bisa lagi memaklumi isi hati nurani

Kembali aku berteman dengan sunyi

Menyadari tak seorangpun mampu lari dari kenyataan

Atau memilih tempat kita akan dilahirkan

Yang dapat kulakukan hanyalah bertahan

Sambil terus menjalankan kewajiban

Tuhan punya rencana, dan aku percaya

Walau takdir terus mempermainkan dan tertawa

Menampar diri dengan kepahitan realita

Untuk menyadarkan aku ini siapa..

Dan kepada jiwa-jiwa yang terluka..

Bersabarlah, hingga kehidupan berikutnya..

Sambil terus berjuang bersama..

 

Unexpressed thoughts kill..

"Unexpressed emotions will never die.

They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways."

-Sigmund Freud

Seandainya segala pikiran-pikiran gila ini dapat tertuang dengan mudah.
Khayalan, ide-ide, kepercayaan.

Karena itulah, saya kagum dengan orang-orang di luar sana, seniman, penulis, dan siapapun yang dapat dengan cerdas mengemukakan pendapatnya, mengkatarsiskan perasaannya melalui suatu karya.

Rasanya, begitu banyak yang ingin diutarakan, namun terlalu rumit untuk ditata.

Hasrat untuk menuliskan mengenai hal-hal yang dianggap menarik dan saat membicarakannya membuat saya merasa hidup,

Filosofi dualisme dan trialisme; Reinkarnasi; Past Life Regression; Mitologi Yunani; Chakra; Pandangan pribadi tentang Agama dan kepercayaan; Old Soul; Hukum-hukum Alam; teori-teori Psikologi; tokoh-tokoh inspiratif kesukaan seperti Carl Jung, Mother Theresa, Socrates, Dalai Lama; Pengalaman; Emosi; Mimpi; Cita; Cinta; atau bahkan sekedar membahas puisi-puisi, film-film, buku-buku..

Pada akhirnya, saya tidak dapat menemukan jawaban apapun untuk merekonstruksi ulang keinginan berasertif tersebut, selain mulai mengurutkannya pelan-pelan.
Sebelum semua menyerang balik.

I'm not a genius, I guess I just need a little time,

as I am the one who's having an infinite mind..

Barbitch.

Sekumpulan cerita di dalam Barbitch karya Sagita Suryoputri, menampilkan kisah para perempuan dari sisi abu-abu kehidupan. Para tokohnya bercerita tentang pengkhianatan sahabat, cinta segitiga, manipulasi kekuasaan, perempuan dengan kecantikan bagai boneka, perpecahan keluarga..dan semua hal yang kadang disembunyikan masyarakat demi terjaganya stabilitas sosial dan moral. Mereka ada di sekitar kita, namun sering kita menutup mata bagi mereka. Mereka berpesta dalam hentakan musik yang keras hingga tenggelam di bawah kerlip lampu warna-warni berkilauan. Di balik perjuangan demi kehidupan yang lebih baik, mereka tampil rupawan dan elok dipandang mata seakan dunia berjalan tanpa masalah.

Hingga yang tersisa tinggallah pilihan: membenci atau mencintai mereka.

Today, I (finally) got the chance to read my sister's book. Actually it's been released two weeks ago, but since I should read this without my mom knows, twas kinda not easy for me. And this evening..where I sat on the corner of my room, did nothing but read for about two hours, finished this book. I'm speechless. Now I don't even know how am I supposed to feel..

Those heartbreaking stories arranged with splendid structure of words..every fact and fiction she poured out into writing, every implicit and projection feeling. How it brought so many memories, how it got me knows much, how it made me to open my eyes bigger about what's going around while all this time all I can do is pretending to know nothing-trying to be careless-don't wanna be seen that i'm hurt-refusing every bad thing just because I won't accept reality, yet in the mean time, she suffers much, she does endless struggle.

Sometimes, people always think that they are the most unfortunate person in this world, how they hate their life and see it as hell. But they should remember, sometimes it's better to look beneath the line of other people downcast journey to realize that we are lucky enough, to reminds us what gratitude is.

And that's what my sister did. Not only to me, but i'm sure that she inspires many people out there with her true act..the way she always be true to herself.

She shows people that no matter how miserable life is, it has no right to stop us from make a good work.

I can never directly say to her how adorable she is in my eyes even with all of her weaknesses and bad side. But nobody is perfect, right. She is the first person I chose to be my role model. The one who taught me how to stay strong in life..we can't run from our fate, we can't choose where we born, but we always have choices to face it and make it better. God even universe has a plan for everyone..I believe they only chose certain and great people to have an extraordinary life, because they know that we are strong enough to handle it. Sometimes fate plays with us to slap our consciousness therefore we realize who we are, what is our gift. Yet it takes time and probably that's why some people give up. But not my sister.

After all..

May thank you saying would never can pay everything you did for me and the whole family..just watch me grow up, sist. And I promise I'll be a good person whom our parents could rely on later, so you don't have to bear everything alone, no more. I can't believe I tear up right this time.. I remember the words you said to me on your launching night, "jangan dibaca, nanti lo stress." you have no idea how it enlightened me instead.

 

Stay healthy, Stay brave, Stay true to yourself.

You own your life..cherish it. :)

“Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.”
―Barbara Alpert

".....We born alone. We die alone."

"Lantas bagaimana jadinya dunia ini, jika seluruh umat manusia berpikiran sama seperti Freud? Aku hanya tidak ingin terlalu skeptis."

"Jadi menurutmu aku ini skeptis? I'm just stand up for my rights and perfectly landed on my feet.

Ini namanya realistis"

My heart has a mind of its own - Christian Bautista

 Listen to the song

People try and tell me that its crazy
You and I were never meant to be
I don't believe they know,
and even if it's so
I'm fallen anyway, no matter what they say.

A part of me is taking me by the hand
The world can't see
Still they can't understand
Why can't they understand..

My heart has a mind of its own
Right or wrong its gonna do
Only what it feels is true
I'll follow it wherever it goes
Anywhere it leads me to..
My heart has a mind, mind of its own.

Maybe we won't always be together
Maybe this'll last a thousand year
Ain't nobody knows, and even if they did
It wouldn't matter now
I'd love you anyhow..

My heart knows what I'm needing
My heart knows what I'm feeling
It knows me better than I know myself
My heart knows what I'm missing
All I have to do is listen
And listen well..

Universe Law. Another kind of life perspective.

As someone who is honestly putting her belief not only into one religion but the law of universe which she had chosen as her life guide, here I want to share some of its eternal pattern so I could probably give and share some new perspective for the readers..as I hope. Not to ask you to put or hold the same value on it like me..it's more like to show, that even some people have the view to think there is more holistic perception of self, life and everything as part of a bigger picture. And those untouchable tiny part of the world that exist..

I ever told one before, about the Law of Attraction, and here's more..

(Source: http://www.naderashchi.com/sevenlaws.html)

		The Law of Gender. Every “seed” has a gestation period.
		The Law of Cause and Effect. What goes around comes around.
		The Law of Relativity. Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
		The Law of Perpetual Transmutation. Energy moves into physical form.
		The Law of Polarity. Everything has an opposite.
		The Law of Vibration. Everything vibrates. Nothing rests.
		The Law of Rhythm. This too shall pass.
1. The Law of Gender The law of gender translates that every seed has a gestation or incubation period. Ideas are spiritual seeds and will move into form or physical results. If you “choose” to believe this, you can watch your life change. Your goals will manifest in the perfect time. Deep in your heart, you must know that they will.
2. The Law of Cause and Effect Whatever you send into the universe comes back. Every action, has an equal and opposite reaction. Say good things to everyone; treat everyone with total respect, and it will all come back to you. Never worry about what you are going to get. Just concentrate on what you can give and give it unconditionally. Treat everyone with total respect. What goes around comes around. If you squeeze an orange, you will get orange juice. Like causes always produce like effects. See “The Juicer” section in the “Core Principles” section.
3. The Law of Relativity Nothing is good or bad until you relate it to something. Practice relating your situation to something worse, and yours will always look good. If you practice relating your situation to something better, yours will always look worse. Nothing is good or bad until you relate it to something. Imagine three bank accounts: the first with $150 in it, the second with $150,000, and the third with $150,000,000. None of them are large, and none are small unless you compare them to a larger or smaller account.
4. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation In his book, The Science of Getting Rich, author Wallace D. Wattles talks about the law of perpetual transmutation. “Man instinctively knows this, and therefore he is forever seeking more. This law of perpetual increase is set forth by God in the parable of the talents: Only those who gain more retain any; from him who has not shall be taken away even that which he has.” Simply put, energy from the formless realm is constantly flowing into the material world and taking form. This energy is limitless and inexhaustible. As old forms are exhausted, they give way for new forms to emerge from the invisible hidden energy of the universe. The formless energy is amenable to being shaped by our minds and is the ultimate source of all wealth. Hence, in a very real sense, every person in this world is wealthy by birth because each of us is connected to that source of infinite supply. The only problem is that the great majority does not know how to tap into it and bring it into manifestation. Hence, they remain impoverished. It is not circumstance or upbringing that does it. It is sheer ignorance of the reality of our own wealth and how easily we could tap into it if we just tried. In any area of endeavor, you will often find two people with almost identical talent and opportunity: one is a roaring success; the other is going nowhere. You may see two almost identical businesses: one is going from strong to stronger; the other is almost bankrupt. Why? The answer lies in how successfully we can tap into the law of perpetual transmutation and manifest from the formless according to our desires. Rather than constantly immersing yourself in the world of effects, i.e., the material world, more of your focus should go into the world of causes. The first step to doing this is simply awareness. Meditating regularly on the law of perpetual transmutation can help you make it a living belief for you. Then place yourself between the flow. See the vast infinite energy flowing from the formless through you and manifesting into form beneath you.
5. The Law of Polarity Everything has an opposite: hot, cold; up, down; good, bad. Constantly look for the good in people and situations. When you find it, tell the person. People love compliments, and the positive idea in your mind makes you feel good. Remember, good idea, good vibrations. Always recognize the opposite and then pick what you want to concentrate on, remembering law number 4.
6. The Law of Vibration Everything vibrates. Nothing rests. Conscious awareness of vibration is called “feeling.” How do you feel? Your thoughts control your paradigms and your vibrations. When you are not feeling good, become aware of what you are thinking and then think of something pleasant. Remember again law number 4. The tide goes out. Night follows day. Good times, bad times. When you are on a downswing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change and things will get better. There are good times coming. Think of them.
7. The Law of Rhythm Some of the things the law of rhythm affects are the tide that goes out and comes back. Night follows day. There is good in everything, and there is bad. Don’t feel the bad in the downswing without realizing that good times are coming. Remember again law number 4. Baha'u'llah says, “Sorrow not if, in these days and on this earthly plane, things contrary to your wishes have been ordained and manifested by God, for days of blissful joy, of heavenly delight, are assuredly in store for you.”

These are not laws that can be broken without steep consequences. If you know the laws, you obey the laws. If you use the laws, you will succeed. Whether something goes right or something goes wrong, you can refer to these laws. The people who have not gotten what their heart desires have gone against one or more of these laws. Don’t let this happen to you. read and learn all about the laws that affect you on this life..

 “We all - whether naturalists, atheists, Moslem, Buddhists, or Christians -

see the world through the grid of an interpretive framework - and ultimately this interpretive framework is religious in nature, even if not allied with a particular institutional religion.”
