Khru Bah inspires the unexpected

Inspirational Mentors present in our lives in all shapes and sizes.  They often appear unexpectedly on yoru path, to prompt you to reflect to Transform Your Life.  

Abbot Phra Khru Bah Neua Chai Kositto is a former soldier and Thai boxing champion. In present day, this man finds inner peace in a new role as Buddhist monk.  He is father and mentor to orphaned Thai boys and gives hill tribes hope.  I visited some thai hill tribe people during travels in Thailand near the Burmese border. Invite you to be open to inspiring stories like that of Khru Bah presented in a film called Buddha's Lost Children.

Notice what prompts you to hold certain interests, to pursue certain goals at different life stages.  Every experience is a trigger for revelations and raising awareness of why you do the things yo udo (or not).  

Notice what is important to you changes over time. Priorities shift. As you develop skills and experience, you discover different ways exist to use them. As the observer grows more active, notice what drives you to be self-centred and what allows you to be soul-centred. Notice when and why you feel drawn to travel and when you feel comfortable staying right where you are. Notice at what stages of life people and children or animals become your priorities.

This is the moment to grow more aware of subtle inclinations arising to give more of yourself, to help others. Notice who is behind the impulses to do and be, to give and receive. Everyone you encounter has perfect timing for a life lesson.  Get ready to appreciate what is happening in a whole new way.

That ending "Get ready to appreciate what is happening in a whole new way. " It's perfect!

Life stage is crucial. What you see today may not be true tomorrow. The past will always be a memory and perhaps an illusion.

Jordan, appreciate your comment. Being aware of how you think and feel is indeed crucial to being the best you can be. Love how the ego mind only interprets and exists in a sense of past or future. Its sense of identity is based on memory or a story. At any given moment, far more is unfolding than this aspect of human mind is taught to see, and we ourselves are far more than we usually perceive. To be aware here enables part of you to see beyond drama.

Awareness of what you are thinking and feeling in the moment of experience differs from reflecting back on the the event. Who you are after experience sees from that vantage point or level of insight. Although reflection can expand on what you see, it does not change what it is to be present, to accept every stage of a life journey. It all makes you who you are now.

Warrior Monk empowers Victim Hill People to climb out of their holes and Act upon something... anything...everything.

Victims get booted out to camp in Nature.

Learn something New to Apply something Ancient.

Carol, its exhilarating to recognize everything is unfolding perfectly, for the best, right now.

[Liara Covert]

M.C., how you view your place in this world evolves with your values and self-appreciation. Love that you sense healing, that you make the most of what is unfolding in your life now. Going with the flow allows you to see wondrous new experiences unfolding. Relish them.

[Liara Covert]

Bern, every being has Buddha potential yet not every being allows seeing of this equality. Faith precedes all qualities. To nurture good qualities in others reinforces who you are. Ancient wisdom intersects modern insight in the symbol of infinity. This is the new human.

When self-centered-ness and soul centered-ness mesh in one goal the teacher reaches into self for the collective soul.

Jannie, indeed, teacher and student are one in the same. Everything and everyone guides you to this pivotal revelation. The guru within is unleashed like a genie dormant in a lamp. You are the lamp and the genie. Feel your own open heart. Access the jewel of the lotus.
