Spiritual Equations

Here are my top 6 spiritual equations that will change your life:

Suffering = pain x resistance
Suffering is optional. We just have to accept and not resist. If we have zero resistance then we don't suffer.
Our mind comes from our ego. The ego is a liar. For me the journey of healing and recovery is going from egocentric fear to being open, honest, vulnerable, and living from our heart instead of our mind. That journey is the result of fellowship and connection with others, the spiritual experience and having a relationship with my Higher Power.
This involves dropping out of what Buddhists call 'the monkey mind'. You know the one - the repetitive, catastrophising, negative thoughts that are created by our minds. Let your Self off the hook of negative thinking. Fear is the mind killer. It's time to create from the heart.
Grace is greater than your fear and also greater than your sins. The only sin is not becoming who you truly are.
Passion + calling = life purpose
When you are called to your life purpose, rather than being driven by insatiable desires, life becomes so much easier. You suddenly have all the energy and passion that you need to succeed. What is your divine purpose?
Last but definitely not least: Love is greater than fear means… Choosing to bloom even when the ground feels unsteady. Speaking Truth even when your voice trembles. Opening your heart even when the world says, “protect it.” Trusting the path even when you cannot see the way. Fear binds: Love frees. Fear contracts: Love expands. Fear lies, attacks, runs, hoards, hides, and harms. Love stays, reveals, shares, and heals.
Fear is merely the absence of love. Love is the only reality and is the greatest power in the world. Love is choosing to be your true Self, with openness, integrity and authenticity and standing in that Truth regardless of attacks by one's own ego or that of others. Fear hides behind a mask of shame.
What you are capable of = Infinite possibility - Your perceived limitations
Your perceived limitations all come from your 'monkey mind,' the ego: Which is the terrified 7-year old you that the world never allowed to grow up. Perceived limitations are erroneous negative thoughts. Infinite possibility is the miracle that happens when you only entertain thoughts from the voice of your highest Self. A belief is an on-off switch for what’s possible.
Namaste.
