Road to peace... my experience...

I went to see the launch of this documentary this week and what a lovely experience it was.
To see this wonderful man in 2008 travelling around the UK just as he is doing it now.
As we were all watching this in a full cinema, many lucky people were seeing him live in the Royal Albert Hall that same evening.

I felt very touched by realising something so beautiful, powerful and simple in this man. The power of his own 'humanism'. Not sure I can call this but what I mean is he came across as a very grounded human being. A holy man who is in touch with himself, the world and who takes things seriously but not in a serious manner.

I thought this was so inspiring! This unique way that I have seen before in very special people: able to say something profound and important and next joke about something completely oblivious and out of context. I believe this is an important quality of very spiritual people and holy teachers.
You see they have messages that are supposed to simply be heard by our unconscious (our soul) so they don't spend too much time elaborating in answers and explanations unless totally necessary.

I found this an amazing technique that I have luckily experienced first hand by meeting every year a Sufi teacher that is the easiest, funniest Latin man one could meet. But at the same time without explanations, discussions or teachings you just feel his 'presence' and you know things will never be the same within you...

With the Dalai Lama people talked about having so much excitement and anticipation and when he comes into the room is like all is gone... 'emptiness' the bliss of the nothing. I recall in the film him saying: 'if you expecting me to have powers to heal you will be disappointed...' He doesn't care, and at the same time, he cares like no one else ever did. He cares for the injustices and fights for human rights but he doesn't care what we think or say about him, for he knows himself and that is all he needs and matters!

Interesting that at some level he reminds me of the Queen. We just had her Diamond Jubilee commemorations, 60th year as a Queen :)
Again I am touched by this woman so much... I follow her celebrations with so much admiration.

I admire her power in her simplicity, resilience and dedication. Something I feel they both share in similar and different ways. Two 'powerful' people, who have a unique pose, simplicity and great sense of humour 😀 Who both are an inspiration and an example of unselfishness dedication to a country, a cause and their role in the world. Both accept to serve with dignity, pride and love and both don't take themselves seriously or are at all grand in their actions or beliefs, instead, they are very grounded and simple people living amazing lives in service of us all.

I believe they both deserve our entire admiration and dedication plus support.

Realising this about these two people made me think of what I found recently in a website http://personalityspirituality.net where it talks about us souls belonging to different types: King; Priest; Sage; Scholar; Warrior; Artisan; Server. And where they have got the Queen as well as Dalai Lama, Prince Charles, mother Teresa and others as Servers. (http://personalityspirituality.net/articles/the-michael-teachings/the-seven-roles-in-essence/the-server-soul/)

'Server souls embody an energy of service, care and helpfulness. As with Priest souls, the consciousness of Servers is inspiration-oriented. But whereas Priests seek to inspire the masses, Servers seek to improve the lot of individuals in more hands-on, down-to-earth ways. They are naturally caring and helpful souls who live to be of benefit to others.'

'Servers tend to be sweet-natured, caring, hospitable, unassuming and humble. Compared to other soul types, they can be described as “mostly harmless”. On top of their good-naturedness, however, they can also look as if they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. This is because they tend to identify with the misery and suffering of others. However, there is also a general aura of faith in the power of good and a willingness to soldier on. They tend to be very grounded and find it relatively easy to take life’s problems lightly. Old Servers like the Dalai Lama can exude a peaceful, joyful quality, like your ideal grandparent.'

The other point that touched me in this documentary was that not just he is a simple, grounded man -  his message is simple and truthful. 'You have to change yourself first to change the world' 'you have to be in peace with yourself first, only then can we achieve peace in the world'.

Yes, that is the big truth that people keep not getting. Only by each of us working on ourselves and not on others can we really change anything. We can not change anyone! Only ourselves! Only by each of us taking responsibility for our actions, thoughts and intentions will things change in the whole. Only by accepting and loving all that we are can we become whole. Become whole is holy!

But let us be realistic and aware that all we will do will only be a small contribution to the big picture, the picture that is not for us to see in our lifetime or even our children. Let's not get involved in the illusion that we about to achieve peace on earth just by visualizing and believing that is possible. It is possible, yes but only when we are many, many more awakened and grounded souls ready and this we are not! What we are is wonderful souls starting and carrying a wonderful example of what can be done. So let's carry on! Let's share and get involved and help others wake up to reality. Let's be proud of the responsibility we have in living in such a special, powerful time on this earth, in this universe. Let's carry on the message! Love and light. x
