what are you imprinting upon your Soul today (?) · Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness

• 0:00
  Speaker: I see all good people.
• 0:02
  Speaker: There is only good when one is born.
• 0:12
  Speaker: There is a blank slate upon which we imprint personalities and egos, experiences, guided or unguided, educated or uneducated, ignorant, naive, innocent, or wise, practical, or filled with virtue or not.
• 0:41
  Speaker: All of these different attributes are accumulated through the experience of moments of time passing.
• 0:49
  Speaker: Then look more closely at one's educational systems, one's institutions to better understand why, how we act, why we do what we do.
• 1:09
  Speaker: It is as simple as this.
• 1:13
  Speaker: We look for all kinds of excuses.
• 1:16
  Speaker: We don't need to look too far to find the truth.
• 1:20
  Speaker: It is always in front of us if we are willing to just accept, realize.
• 1:30
  Speaker: Because we can learn from this.
• 1:34
  Speaker: Each of us in our own way makes mistakes all the time.
• 1:39
  Speaker: Just think if you can learn through every mistake you make and be a little wiser, how wise you will become.
• 1:50
  Speaker: This is a more positive outlook and way to look upon life.
• 1:57
  Speaker: People look at institutions today, democracy or the proletarian revolutions, communism, and they look at them and judge them as institutions.
• 2:23
  Speaker: But they are more than institutions, they are individuals who comprise the leaderships of.
• 2:31
  Speaker: It is in the leaders themselves where the failures or successes are made.
• 2:39
  Speaker: The institutions are not so dissimilar.
• 2:44
  Speaker: They are different, of course.
• 2:47
  Speaker: And they are combinations of each other, each in its own way.
• 2:53
  Speaker: Which is better?
• 2:55
  Speaker: Most likely a combination of both.
• 3:01
  Speaker: A sense of kindness and humility, and a sense of being desirous for personal growth, for improvement.
• 3:12
  Speaker: This encompasses the totality of these experiences, generalities, more or less.
• 3:21
  Speaker: It is the same in religions.
• 3:25
  Speaker: We look upon the many faces of religions, of spiritual institutions, traditions in our world today, and what do we find?
• 3:34
  Speaker: The religions are more or less very similar.
• 3:37
  Speaker: It is the leaders, past and present, who have determined the outcome, the face of the religion of that time and place.
• 3:49
  Speaker: None are above the criticism of having failed in what they say versus what they do.
• 4:04
  Speaker: We are here now of bundles of miracles.
• 4:10
  Speaker: And the most important thing anyone can do is wake up.
• 4:16
  Speaker: Both literally and figuratively, one need to wake up in the morning or when one is finished sleeping.
• 4:26
  Speaker: When one has finished recharging their own internal battery, one needs to awaken, for you as an individual Nothing.
• 4:44
  Speaker: This is the literal sense, but the figurative sense is the same.
• 4:51
  Speaker: Figuratively, we have this opportunity to not be naive or innocent, but to learn, to experience, to capitalize on where we are today, which is in the dawning of our Aquarian age.
• 5:17
  Speaker: To me, this means the beginning of recorded history, in which we have this incredible opportunity to learn from thousands of years of prior experiences, to educate ourselves, to better understand ourselves, to meet ourselves head-on, face to face, to gaze in the reflection of the past and even the reflection of our own images in a mirror.
• 6:00
  Speaker: To conceive and realize whom each individual, unique human being is, what opportunities are present.
• 6:15
  Speaker: This is the beginning of the Aquarian age.
• 6:22
  Speaker: And we do have a tremendous opportunity before us.
• 6:31
  Speaker: Science has rapidly made the possibilities expand.
• 6:42
  Speaker: And we are taking advantage of this.
• 6:49
  Speaker: And yet, as individuals, as human beings, we have still much to learn.
• 7:01
  Speaker: We still have much to educate ourselves about ourselves, not just our environment, not just Mother Nature, not just the physics, the laws of being in this universe as we know it.
• 7:26
  Speaker: But about our own way of thinking, our own way of accumulating wisdom and knowledge and experience, our own behaviors, our egos, our godliness, our virtuosity.
• 7:54
  Speaker: There is always more.
• 7:55
  Speaker: Here we are reflecting upon these things because we are desirous to learn.
• 8:04
  Speaker: Mindful meditators.
• 8:06
  Speaker: It is a great boon for us as individuals to be this way.
• 8:14
  Speaker: Being here now, aware, awake, rising in one's own awareness, in one's capacity to think, to understand, to reason, to assimilate information from many different directions and have the capacity or the receptivity to accept what one finds and seek improvement.
• 8:57
  Speaker: For surely we will falter and fail.
• 9:03
  Speaker: As much and maybe even more than at first we succeed.
• 9:12
  Speaker: It is the nature of our universe.
• 9:18
  Speaker: It is trial and error.
• 9:21
  Speaker: This is the definition of opportunity, of potential, of capabilities, to be flexible, adaptable, authentic, honest with one's own being, being here now, allowing oneself to visualize your being radiant with the energy we are thermally producing inside of ourselves and disseminating through our skins.
• 10:12
  Speaker: One's whole body radiating the energy of life not so dissimilar than our own sun, radiating in an orangey, red glow, feeling comfortable and calm, having found a posture where one is familiar and feeling a sense of peace, of tranquility, of spreading grace and harmony, feeling this deep inside, allowing oneself to become more receptive, more sensitive, to everything one can, to one's senses, to one's sight or hearing or the feeling, the touching, the tasting, the smelling that is more easily attainable, accessible.
• 11:35
  Speaker: Being aware, being aware of one's consciousness, being aware of what one is thinking, being aware of the possibility of virtuosity, of increasing one's kindness, compassion, towards one's own being, towards one's own goals, towards one's own efforts, being here now, this way, we find ourselves in a figurative automobile, propelling us towards our new being, which we are arriving towards every moment of our days.
• 12:50
  Speaker: For everything is changing.
• 12:53
  Speaker: It is like being in a car and looking out the window.
• 12:59
  Speaker: As the miles pass by, so does the environment we are in.
• 13:08
  Speaker: Why, who, how being aware of everything we can, remembering this tremendous opportunity life represents.
• 13:45
  Speaker: What are the virtues?
• 13:50
  Speaker: Do you have three or five or seven or nine or eleven that you hold most dear today?
• 13:59
  Speaker: If you don't, do, at least a few, to hold them higher, because one knows by adapting them, by practicing them, you will be improving.
• 14:21
  Speaker: Which ones are most dear for you today?
• 14:27
  Speaker: To be kind, to be patient, to feel a greater sense of compassion.
• 14:37
  Speaker: And of course, it is not just for oneself, it is as much for any other, one's closest family or friends, one's acquaintances, one's workmates, one's societies, one's, one's world.
• 15:00
  Speaker: And yet, time is always ticking.
• 15:11
  Speaker: So, as important of a virtue as patience is, it is not to be a means of putting things off.
• 15:25
  Speaker: The time is now, being here now, knowing one is a bundle of energy, shimmering, radiant, aware, alive, seeking... a bundle of miracles, in one's self realization, illumination, revelation of the nature of life, of DNA, of evolution, humble before the immensity, the majesty of creation, thankful for one becoming more and more aware through practice, through one seeking self-improvement.
• 16:49
  Speaker: These are the tools, these are the ways.
• 16:55
  Speaker: The music continues for another minute.
• 17:01
  Speaker: Please take advantage of it and ponder your being, your tools, and your means of evolving that one is even more proud of whom you are.
