Breath in, Breath out - a Humble Offering to Eric Dierker!

Eric is a miracle, a miracle of Love! If I had to use one phrase to describe him, I would surely say that he is "a man of God", you have just to read some of his hubs, and you will understand. I am quite sure that in some other lives Eric had been a student of Socrates or Plato and Apostle Paul! I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that he was Moses! He is a human form around an enormous luminous Heart which is constantly glowing humour, kindness and Love in a world desperately needed these virtues. Every time I read one of his writings I become wiser and happier!

Eric, I have never met you in person, but you are a true brother of mine! I Love you, I pray for you, I thank you for being Eric the Great!

This is not a tribute; this is a big big hug...

Calm down; you do not have to hurry. This moment is just one of the countless experiences you will have throughout eternity. You are made of the same elements as the eternal Universe, which means you will always exist in some form. So, what's the hurry? Embrace the gifts of this moment. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you do not have to worry. You are a child of God, and God is Love. In His Love, everything—whether difficult or easy—has meaning. How significant will your current problem seem after some time? Yet, it will still be a lesson that made you wiser and lifted you a little higher. Learn from the difficulty, and don't worry about it. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you do not have to condemn. You can judge actions but not the people behind them. You haven't lived their lives; you don't know what they've experienced or the fears that haunt them. You may not see the pain they've endured, the temptations they've fought, or the misunderstandings they've faced. Everyone has their own demons to deal with. Remember, you are not perfect either, and you can't know how you would react if you were in their situation. So, refrain from judging, no matter how easy it may seem. Instead, strive to love, no matter how difficult it may feel. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you do not need to bear a grudge. Stand up for your rights, but avoid seeking revenge. If someone has wronged you, trust in a Greater Law that will help you heal as long as you remain righteous. Elevate your consciousness above the wrongdoing and liberate both yourself and the offender from the situation. There is no greater force for change or better remedy than forgiveness, as it marks the beginning of Love. Forgive and live freely. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you do not have to complain. It may seem like you have less than others and feel envious of what they possess, but this is just your perception. Others may be envious of what you have. Focus on your own journey. Practice gratitude for what you already possess and appreciate all the blessings in your life. Prioritize your spiritual growth so you can truly enjoy everything you desire. Remember, the Source is limitless; any limitations come from our ability to receive from it. Gratitude fosters happiness, while grievances, complaints, and negativity lead to unhappiness. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you don't have to claim things that aren't yours. If something does not rightfully belong to you, or if it is not part of your consciousness, you will never be able to keep it, even if it is given to you, especially if you take it dishonestly. Whatever you acquire in this way will ultimately harm you, regardless of how it may seem at first, because it hinders your growth.

If you want to change the world around you, start by changing the world within you. We spiritually gain what we truly need, and then we earn it on a material level. The opposite approach is fleeting and goes against the laws of the Universe, which will lead to problems.

Become a better person, and better things will come into your life. Breathe in, breathe out.

Calm down; you do not have to compete with others. No matter what position you are in right now, it is the right one for you at this moment. It belongs to you, and no one can take it away from you, just as you cannot claim a position that rightfully belongs to someone else. If you are unhappy with your current situation, don't try to take someone else's place. Instead, focus on improving yourself to achieve what your soul desires.

By raising your consciousness through acts of Love, kindness, generosity, and understanding, you will elevate your position in life. No one can deprive you of this new position, as it will be uniquely prepared for you by the Universe.

View those around you as partners in this journey rather than competitors. There is no competition in the Universe; it wisely provides for everyone according to their needs. Breathe in, breathe out.
