Ο ΣΥΜΠΑΝΤΙΚΟΣ ΝΟΜΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΠΟΣΠΑΣΗΣ




Ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς Συμπαντικούς Νόμους είναι ο νόμος της Απόσπασης, που δηλώνει ότι κάποιος πρέπει να αποστασιοποιηθεί από το αποτέλεσμα , ώστε να ελκύσει αυτό που περισσότερο επιθυμεί.


Με το να προσκολλάτε στο αποτέλεσμα όλα τα αντίθετα στην επιθυμία σας στοιχεία θα προσελκυσθούν εκτός από αυτά που περιμένετε.Αυτό που πρέπει να κάνουμε είναι να στηριχτούμε στην Θέληση του Θεού εφόσον οτιδήποτε αποκτιέται μέσω της Απόσπασης, η οποία βασίζεται στο βαθύ αίσθημα της στήριξης στην πλήρη χάρη Του.


Προσκόλληση σημαίνει σύνδεση με την ανησυχία και την ανασφάλεια .


Και οι δυο προκαλούν δυστυχία.


Η εξέλιξη έρχεται όταν οι άνθρωποι αποστασιοποιούνται από την ασφάλεια και το γνωστό και ακολουθούν το μονοπάτι της αβεβαιότητας.


Μόνο κάντε μια δήλωση των επιθυμιών και των ονείρων σας και αφήστε τον εαυτό σας να αποσπαστεί από το πώς και πότε αυτά μπορεί να δηλωθούν στην ζωή σας.Παραδοθείτε στην Θέληση του Θεού και την αιώνια Συμπαντική βοήθεια.


Είναι ένα Σύμπαν γεμάτο Αγάπη, ιδέες και έλεος. Κανένας δεν πρέπει να νιώθει εγκατελελειμένος ή μόνος.


Ήμαστε όλοι παιδιά ενός συμπονετικού Θεού, του Θεού Πατέρα μας.


Είναι η μεγαλύτερη Θεία Δύναμη που κατοικεί μέσα μας και παρέχει στα αγαπημένα του παιδιά φανταστικά δώρα.


Αληθινά είναι ένα Σύμπαν γεμάτο συμπόνια με ανοικτές πύλες σε θαυμαστούς κόσμους , ορατούς και μη ορατούς σε ταξιδιώτες της φαντασίας και Πίστης.


Πρέπει να αποδεσμεύσουμε τους εαυτούς μας από τα επιζήμια, δηλητηριώδη , αρνητικά συναισθήματα , όπως η εγκατάλειψη , μίσος ,κακία, θυμός και να τα αντικαταστήσουμε με Αγάπη.Η Αγάπη είναι νοητική θεραπεία .


Η Αγάπη καθαρίζει την συνείδηση .


Ευθυγραμμιστείτε με την Θεϊκή Παροχή και παραλάβετε την Θεία Χάρη και εκπλήρωση.

ΠΕΡΙΟΔΙΚΟ: "ΔΕΥΚΑΛΙΩΝ Ο ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΣ"-"ΟΤΑΝ Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΣΥΝΑΝΤΗΣΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΥΤΥΧΙΑ"

ENDLESS JOURNEY NEWSLETTER -SEPTEMBER 2009 -Philotimo/Love of honor and ungratefulness




 
The word “philotimo” (Lover of honor), which is purely a Greek word, is very difficult to be found in an English dictionary, as the definition of this word has been infused and inherited in the collective unconscious of the Greek culture.
Many Greek friends might smile when reading about the importance of «philotimo», knowing by experience what that essentially means.... 

Eventually the more I get in search for the meaning of the word “philotimo” , the more I consider that its significance is deeper and extending beyond historical, philosophical, psychological and social horizons.
Existence of which I had never anticipated before.
According to the thesis of Ninon Chrysohoos & Robert Porter Lynch (1), philotimo (Love of honor) means “ philo-love + timi-honor” and it is considered as an “extremely sensitive region of men's souls that gives forth gallantry, nobility and moral pride; it is the sense of honor and dignity.” (2) :
http://www.philotimo.net/index.html

Also according to the website of the Encyclopaedia of Orthodoxy (3) : http://orthodoxwiki.org/Orthodox_Living philotimos is someone who lives, thinks and works with an honest and full of virtue way in any situation. 

He who acts with love, kindness, responsibility, pain and compassion for others.

Someone who is generous in a few words.

I would like to add to the above mentioned statements that Philotimos (similar word: generous) acts by heart, because he thinks that is really good (anc. greek : «αγαθόν») for someone to help his fellows, even though they do not recognize or overlook it many a time.... (My personal opinion).

Ancient Greeks believed that someone should be “philotimos” , as the opposition «AFILOTIMIA» ( the lack of value/honor ) was a shame. 

Of course, Ancient Greeks had developed an amazing system of values, so that someone in order to gain understanding must have depth to the very etymology of words and their interpretation, and the fact itself they had comprehended in order for a society being functional should rely consciously on - not imposed by humans - Laws, but Universal Laws (Divine). 

Aside to that implication , Laws and Values are related to Harmony and Order in conjunction with the cooperation (Synergy) –(4). 

By this way they suppressed their fear of betrayal and the possibility of someone putting his merit over the merit of all. 

Even nowadays modern Greeks state that someone has to appeal on someone’s philotimo, to touch his willing to offer help and assistance . 

Philotimia’s or generosity’s true meaning and application has been circumvented and remains on risk of being diminished not only from dictionaries, but from our society we live in. 

Instead of that ,something that prevails in our age is the reciprocation to someone’s good intention to help «filotima» (honourably) with ungratefulness. 

The arc of philotimo is too small to stop the lack of values, selfishness, the little and large merits, and fears of people. 

In front of philotimo a detrimental selfish tendency of people to think and act by mind ( and not by soul ) is heightened .

«Why should I help someone, if not having benefit?», is an intimate question posed by someone who thinks selfishly. 

Or in the worst case to use the phrase : «The end justifies the means» -(5), which is more tragic, because it is used in many ways even for supposed spiritual and holy purposes, such as spreading Spiritual / Universal Laws! 

Of course now we are getting to the abuse of the very good intention for offering and love. 

Then, someone who is philotimos/generous risks to become a victim in the “ altar ” of individual plans and aspirations or of the insatiable foresight for control and supremacy. 

(This is an issue that I will possibly explain in a later newsletter of mine ). 

All this occur in a society that constantly refuses to cut grasps with Matrix, where the co-operators or associates (of the society ) are afraid to allow themselves risk by following a brighter and less materialistic way . 

Maybe that is the reason for philotimos / generous people being paid in the currency of ungratefulness, due to their accordance to laws and values rooted in their subconscious and for transcending the shackles of conventional reality. 

The soul of a philotimos/generous man /woman is full of experiences, ideals, virtues, knowledge and wisdom. 

All these co- exist to create an integrated man, for Knowledge without Wisdom can not exist as well as without implementation. 

Knowledge itself without the «Synergy» of Wisdom, Virtue, Justice, Valour Prudence can not exist. 

The ideas and goods are born and implemented by people who are carrying the legacy of our Creator’s values, because they allowed themselves to listen to the voice of their heart and overcome their “ego”. 

Creator cultivates the image, literally « embroiders » on a transcendental canvas, what is transferred from the human soul, known as “creations”.

Creator not only has spoken within, but was heard too!

Those who work by philotimia (Love of honour) and truly act according to this value, definitely flee away to Light, because they risk their aid for good deeds towards their fellows, even though they do not expect anything in return. 
 

In contrast to those who watch the Light, but touch it with them fingertips like a distant star in the sky, for they fly bounded to the “dark machine of Matrix”, reluctant to offer and share their love and understanding residing within, due to their fear of losing ....

ΦΙΛΟΤΙΜΟ ΚΑΙ ΑΧΑΡΙΣΤΙΑ


ENDLESS JOURNEY NEWSLETTER –ΣΕΠΤΕΜΒΡΙΟΣ 2009

Το φιλότιμο και η αχαριστία

Η λέξη φιλότιμος, η οποία είναι καθαρά μια ελληνική λέξη, είναι πολύ δύσκολο να βρεθεί σε ένα αγγλικό λεξικό, γιατί απλούστατα η έννοια της συγκεκριμένης λέξης έχει εμφυσηθεί και κληρονομηθεί στο συλλογικό ασυνείδητο της ελληνικής κουλτούρας.
Πολλοί Έλληνες φίλοι ίσως να χαμογελάσουν διαβάζοντας για την σημασία του «φιλότιμου», γνωρίζοντας εκ πείρας τι σημαίνει αυτό….
Τελικά όσο πιο πολύ αναζητώ την έννοια της λέξης φιλότιμος, τόσο πιο πολύ διαπιστώνω ότι η σημασία της είναι βαθύτερη και επεκτείνεται σε ιστορικούς, φιλοσοφικούς, κοινωνικούς και ψυχολογικούς ορίζοντες, που δεν είχα σκεφτεί ότι μπορεί να υπάρχουν.
Σύμφωνα με την διατριβή των Ninon Chrysohoos & Robert Porter Lynch (1), φιλότιμος σημαίνει « ο φίλος με την τιμή » - «φίλος + τιμή» και «είναι μια ακραία ευαίσθητη περιοχή της ανθρώπινης ψυχής που δίνει ώθηση στην γενναιότητα , ευγένεια, και ηθική περηφάνια .
Είναι μια αίσθηση της τιμής και της αξιοπρέπειας» (2) http://www.philotimo.net/index.html

"THE GIFT OF WRITING " RELOADED-ENDLESS JOURNEY NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2009



"Everything begins from the beautiful ideas that spin into your mind and look like small birds that seek branch to nest.


Afterwards the ideas nestle in the heart centre and take shape.


They change forms, colours and various pictures, make their appearance as a small torrent that flows fast, seeking exit. An ear-splitting rush, a palpitating landscape, an inexhaustible source of knowledge...


Then you seek way and means for writing! You record what you see and hear, while no one else can do it!


You are ready to see your dream taking shape and having effectuation. You feel proud for your creation!


It’s your spiritual child and you love it. You are ready to put an appearance to the world and transport all issues you have written and portrayed with the best words. You are ready to come out in the world and transport your messages.....


The writing is poetry, is a gift and talent.


Beyond words an entire world is hidden, that nobody can imagine nor dream.


It’s for those who walk along the path of writing, letting themselves be free and so immerse into an ocean of words and pictures.


Indeed writing is a song only for a few.


It is a melody for those who tend to be non- aligned with each restriction.The rule of the lofty, free thought is the redeeming ply in the space of writing.





Katerina Kostaki Author-article writer "



Today I will attempt a return back to past for benign reasons, for sometimes this inner journey should be targeted- from time to time - at a different direction .


Probably in this way we lift up memories not only useful for all authors ,counsellors , artists , healers, but for the whole world .


Four years ago I wrote an article, one of my the first steps in the freelance article writing area, without the slightest idea of going to deal with this part of creative writing.


The original title of the article was: «The gift of writing» , simply stating the necessity of writing.Essentially it was a vast , unexplained emotion, an impulse that impelled me to write this note as a kind of reinforcement for people who do allow their creative self spring up from mind restrictions.


I am not quite sure whether this impulse overcame people’s everyday obligations connected with firming indecisions to express themselves, but surely it was supposed to be an hymn to worldwide writers who convert their images into words as a reflection of their effective imagination..


I should confess that in my attempt to move on in this evolutionary path as a creator of new ideas affiliating the great purpose of assisting as many people as I could, I had to deal with a lot of challenges, denials, non acceptances and rejections.


I have to admit that I am not a “child” of marketing and I do not belong to any sort of community nor circles.


Anyway, watching myself sitting in front of my computer’s screen, I am holding in my mind the fact that since then I have transformed my life in a such a way that writing was only but the ticket to spiritual abundance and self knowledge.


No one had ever considered that pure imagination could skyrocket me to heavens and convert a plain life to an amazing one!My “The gift of writing “article was a non revealed expectation to withdraw inspiration and above all forward an immense message for people to follow their heart.


My message is more enchanting nowadays.


Yesterday is gone, and I carry on with more impressive icons in mind, less insecurities and a deep feeling that whatever effort we make is not useless.


Do not allow past be a restriction, nor a tricky thought of inevitability. Moreover do not allow anyone intervene your attempts and so diminish the accomplishment of your goals.Trust yourself and your power.


Love yourself so that you may love mankind.Allow Light intervene and become part of you.


Forces of Light are your ultimate allies in this world, so do not spoil this alliance with interfering gloomy actions.


In this plane of existence the only word I should express is Gratitude to God and Forces of Light for their support and assistance.


Their support is the Alpha and Omega of our essence.
