Ramzan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, offers an extensive programme of reform and spiritual elevation to all Muslims to help remould their entire being.

Since human beings tend to frequently lose touch with their inner world, Islam has provided for a substantial provision for an annual "workshop" in the form of siyam or Roza. This trains and equips us to reach out to the inner self, by firmly dealing with any moral laxity and indiscipline.

The Secret to a Joyful Life You want to know what the secret is? The secret to a joyful life is focusing on what you want! Sometimes this is easier said than done. All those wonderful uplifting quotes and things we learned at spiritual workshops or things we may have heard from our latest guru many times go out the window when we find ourselves in the midst of it all. In the midst of chaos, confusion, layoffs, war, not enough money, not enough love, not enough of whatever it may be many times can 'throw' us off our center and we start acting like someone else!

Hindu mythology of creation talks about how the universe is created each time the Creator Brahma blinks! Millions of human years, called yuga, pass by between each blink of the Creator.

Sages of ancient India measured time through the concept of kshana. Kshana is not chronological time. It was not measured as the amplitude of a pendulum or the frequency of an electronic chip. Kshana was not generic time, but individual time. Kshana is the time between two thoughts. My kshana and your kshana are different.

Imagine riding in a car whose four cylinder engine is working on only three cylinders, and whose gasoline is diluted with water. The car will struggle along, using only a part of its inherent power. It might still get you where you want to go, but with difficulty (and probably not up the steep hills!).

At work, if we are running on only the power of mind , body, and emotions, we're running on only three cylinders. And if we find ourselves reacting to situations with anxiety, agitation, or anger - and feeling "there's not enough time to do our best" - we're using diluted fuel. What's missing?

In the mid-1980's, while William was consulting on corporate creativity, he began to recognise a similarity in the language that people used to describe their moments of creative insight and their experience of spiritual inspiration. It dawned on him that the similarities were not by accident; but rather, it's because our spiritual nature literally means we are co-creators with the Divine...as Martin Buber, a 20 th century Jewish philosopher, reminds us:

"Destiny is not where we wait for God to push us. We take part in creation, meet the Creator, reach out to Him, helpers and companions."

One day a devotee asked his spiritual teacher what to do in a situation he was facing. His teacher gave him very specific directions. The ardent devotee paused for a moment and then said softly, "But Swamiji, I can't do that as it would go against my conscience." The teacher smiled and replied, "Good. Follow your conscience."

On hearing this story we were struck with wonder. We began to ask, "What is this conscience that holds so much power within us? What might be possible if we were to follow our conscience at work?"

As we began to write this article on peace , which is the fourth of five human values we've been writing on (truth, righteousness, love, peace and non-violence), two things came to mind. The first was a Christian scripture that has meant a lot to each of us since childhood:

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds .

Where is that place; without time or space?

Is the veil so strong as to completely erase?

My recollection comes from out of the blue;

then a force says, "dismiss it" so that's what I do.

The force that's mundane drives me insane;

insanity spreads, like a disease with no name.

What would happen if the world lifted the veil?

The force would be gone, the disease would pale.

To get rid of the force; don't discard the peek;

For each time you seek, so shall you reap.

Wisdom is contagious, it spreads like insanity;

seeking breeds wisdom, wisdom breeds philanthropy.

To lift your own veil, all you have to do;

is know that wisdom and truth, lies inside of you.

Carry this belief in your heart; wear it on your sleeve;

then the veil will be gone, and the world will believe.

Is my child an Indigo?

I wonder as he starts to grow.

Will he know where he is from?

Next to him will I look dumb?

Will he be able to talk to spirit?

If he does, will I fear it?

Will he be labeled ADD

And prescribed drugs from an MD?

Would taking them really be prudent?

Would it make him a better student?

After the kids are thoroughly sifted

Will he be identified as gifted?

If he does, will that be wise,

Or will it be the start of his demise

Will it cause his ego to inflate

And the other kids begin to hate?

Will he challenge the teacher's rule?

To other kids will he be cruel?

Or will he be sensitive and kind?

And back at home, will he mind?

Will he tell US what to do?

And if we don't would it cause a coup?

Many will try to correct him,

But I will always love and respect him.

How do I raise this little boy?

Who has already brought me so much joy?

"You are lovely, darling Spirit"

When I say that, can he hear it?

As his eyes shine and glow

I wonder if he's an Indigo.

Girl Indigo

Shattered glass sparkles

through a broken window

refracting reflections

into backlit hallways

deep, deep inside, flashing

strophic light, then dark.

A figure, a shape moves

into and out of shadow

a child, a woman reverberates

in silhouette.

Broken nail, broken heart

her hair, dyed jet black, fades

in heartbeats and tears.

She is here, she is now

screaming forever.

Dimensionless and expanding

beyond the edge of visible light

she hovers in her own luminescence

untouchable, yet yearning an embrace

Beyond a grasp, colors fail

pastels wither and crimsons bleed

into neutral shades of gray

as she absorbs the sun

into her deepest indigo.

I would love more than anything to spread my arms and fly,

Away from the rage and sorrow that clutches like a wraith at my heart,

To simply jump out the window and take flight, my hopes and dreams

carrying me away and up into the twinkling stars above.

Cold they may be, but at least they are my silent lovers, watching

over me while I watch over the small, sentimental things that I

believe and hold dear.

I want to glide away, soar far from the things that bind me to my

eternal doom,

Breathe in the calm that I prefer to fill my spirit, and banish all

thoughts and feelings of helplessness and despair,

And as I gaze out the glass portal of my cage, I know that one night,

I will spring forth, for though my wings are clipped, they cannot

chain my wild soul.

Ask lightworkers: "Do you create your reality?" Oh yes! Ask them: "Can you manifest your dreams?" Notice the guardedness in their responses. Many have chosen a spiritual path that deliberately shuns goal setting, deliberate manifesting, and above all, desiring. And there may be perfect reasons for this choice, having to do with past lives or other broad perspectives. Then again, the choice may be a guard against the pain of unfulfilled desire. As the guide Abraham says, "Summoning up our desires is just too painful when we do not manifest them. Most people just stop summoning the desire."

Every individual has a Life Purpose. This is the mission that you agreed to prior to your incarnation. There are two parts to your Purpose: a personal one and a global one. Your personal Purpose involves a particular characteristic that you're trying to develop in this life, such as patience or compassion. Your global Purpose involves discovering, developing, and using your natural talents and interests to help other people and the planet.
