<h2 style="text-align:center;">THE WISDOM BRIDGE SERIES</h2>&nbsp;<h4 style="text-align:justify;">In September 2022, DAAJI released his latest bestseller, The Wisdom Bridge, and throughout 2023 we are sharing highlights from the various chapters to give you a taste of the wisdom the book offers. This month the excerpt is from chapter 14 on Principle 6: Character Builds Personality.</h4><h4>Character Is the Foundation of Life: The Role of Parents in Laying the Foundation</h4>In 1998, Warren Buffett, the acclaimed investor, gave a lecture to MBA students in the University of Florida.&nbsp; “Think for a moment that I granted you the right to buy 10 percent of one of your classmates for the rest of his or her lifetime,” he said. “You cannot pick one with a rich father, that does not count. You have to pick somebody who is going to do it on their own merit. I give you an hour to think about it. Which one are you going to pick?”Buffett raised the stakes by adding another condition: “To buy the 10 percent, you would have to short 10 percent of another classmate.”“If you think about it the correct way,” he said, “the person selected would be someone who is generous and honest. Someone who gave credit to other people even for one’s own ideas. Also, the person picked to short would not be one with the lowest IQ. It would be someone who turned you off for some reason. The person who is egotistic, the person who is greedy, who is dishonest and cuts corners and all such qualities.”Character matters above everything else. Ambition and IQ are no doubt important, but to get to the top and stay there takes character.Through his thought experiment, Warren Buffett helped future corporate leaders in the room to understand that character matters above everything else. Ambition, creativity, and intellect are all important, but to get to the top and stay there takes character.<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">Character matters above everything else. Ambition and IQ are no doubt important, but to get to the top and stay there takes character.</h4><hr>You may wonder why I began our conversation about character development with an anecdote from Buffett, an investor, and not with the examples of the Buddha, Mother Sita or Jesus Christ. Here’s the thing, when we think of the holy ones, the skeptic in us tends to box their teachings and label them “good but not practical.” The popular idea is that real-world Gordon Geckos (Wall Street) and Ricky Romas (Glengarry Glen Ross) need smarts and aggression. To succeed in life and business, one needs killer instinct and not kindness. Charismatic personality matters more than character integrity. And that’s where Warren Buffett comes in. He is at the pinnacle of wealth creation. After cutting his teeth on Wall Street, overcoming one financial crisis after another, he and his firm have only grown in stature and net worth. When Warren Buffett looks to buy 10 percent, he looks for character over IQ, energy, or initiative. The other traits are important but without character, as Buffett would say, it’s not a value investment.&nbsp;Whether it’s worldly affairs or one’s spiritual development, character is the bedrock of life. Parents’ efforts in instilling a good character are vital for the child’s future. The moral habits, etiquette, and life lessons all help in strengthening the child’s character. Sometimes parents get confused between personality and character. Here is a simple way to understand the two.<h4>Character and Personality: The Tree and Its Fruit</h4>A gardener knows that to enjoy the fruit, you must take care of the tree. Nourishing the soil, watering the roots, preventing pestilence, and doing this year after year will ensure that the tree is healthy, one with deep roots and strong branches. And then, on a fateful spring, the blossoms turn into fruits, and we enjoy a bountiful harvest.Character and personality share a similar relationship. Character is the tree and personality is the fruit. Character is the inner core and personality is the outer shell. Character is the cause and personality is the effect. Someone with a good character will have an authentic personality. Someone with a flawed character will let you down. If the character is not attended to, then life becomes a struggle to establish one’s true personality. One may end up donning many avatars as they go through life without ever realizing who they are and what their true potential is.The word “personality” has its origins in the Latin word persona, which means “mask.” During theatrical performances in the Roman period, performers wore masks that personified either the type (mother, noble, old man) or nature or psychological trait (angry, happy, worried) of the character. If the character was a warrior, the mask represented the features of a warrior archetype. If the character was jealous, the mask depicted jealousy.1 In the same manner, our personality, or persona, blossoms from and depicts our character. It makes sense then for parents to focus on building the character of their child. The personality will develop on its own. In other words, it will take care of itself.For parents, the important thing to remember is that character formation is a conscious effort. It takes as much deliberate effort and attention as developing other life skills like STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) and communication.Personality traits such as public speaking skills, networking ease, general aptitude and so on are important, but in the long term, authenticity, integrity, and good moral values play a more important role.Character will help children make wise choices. Choosing the right company, setting the right priorities, pursuing the right goals and making correct decisions – all are guided by character. The important takeaway here is that character formation takes a conscious effort on the part of the parents. It takes as much deliberate effort and attention from parents as developing other life skills such as STEAM, leadership, and communication. Character formation also has immense significance in shaping the spiritual destiny of your child.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:33.61%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/character_builds_personality3_54bfa97f32.jpg"></figure><h4 style="text-align:justify;">The Spiritual Significance of Character</h4>A house is supported by the ground. The ground is supported by layers of Earth. The Earth is supported by the planetary forces of the solar system. The solar system, in turn, is supported by other galactic forces in the Milky Way. Tracing this thread of what supports what, we reach a point where we realize that there must be a common foundation that supports everything. A common substratum that acts as the absolute base for all existence. Science refers to this absolute base as singularity.In the Heartfulness tradition, the elders have referred to the absolute base as Bhuma or the Center. Before creation, existence was in seed form within the Center and there was perfect balance. When the time came, a stir in the Center triggered an impulse of creation (science calls it the Big Bang). That impulse continues on and on, and as we speak the universe continues to expand.In yoga, the goal of meditative practices is to create within us the perfect balance that existed before creation came into being. In a human being, the condition of perfect balance is reached when character attains perfection.<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">A perfect character is when everything&nbsp; in a person is in a state of balance.&nbsp; The senses, the tendencies, the thoughts,&nbsp; the actions are all in a state of harmony&nbsp; with the inner guidance.</h4><hr>A perfect character is when everything in a person is in a state of balance. The senses, the tendencies, the thoughts, and the actions are all in harmony with the soul. In such a person, the personality is one with character. There is no duality. Think of it this way. There is space outside a room and there is space inside a room. How would you describe the space if the walls were removed? The outside and inside are no longer separate. With the walls removed, oneness is pervading all around. When the character is perfect, there is oneness of being.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:43.6%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/character_builds_personality2_92361c350e.jpg"></figure>Such a person’s behavior and etiquette are exemplary. There is total naturalness in their way of being. Wherever they go, they radiate love and spread their light. They exude lightness and all those around them benefit from it.As duty-bound trustees of the soul that chose us, nurturing the child’s character is our primary duty as parents. When we work to ennoble the character of our children, we are guiding them on the path of achieving oneness and balance.<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Giving Children the Right Perspective</h4>When we interact with our children, our biases, our attitudes, and our habits all play a role in shaping them. For example, we often ask our children: “How much did you score on the test? Who scored the highest?” “Does your teacher appreciate your work?” or, the question all children are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”Now consider this. How often do we ask our children, “Whom did you help in school today?” “What act of kindness did you do?” “Did you give others the chance to speak before you?” I don’t think we discuss such questions as often as we should. We tend to focus more on the muscles of intellect and ambition. The same rigor is not applied to building the muscles of kindness, empathy, and humility. Perhaps we assume that these qualities will develop naturally. But it helps to emphasize the importance of character. And there is a reason for this.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:47.1%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/character_builds_personality4_2e07515f27.jpg"></figure><hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">When we work to ennoble the character of our children, we are guiding them on the path of achieving oneness and balance.</h4><hr>Deep inside their hearts, children understand what their parents truly care about. When parents celebrate good grades, winning awards in school, and similar achievements more than their child’s acts of compassion and kindness, then the child gets a subliminal message of what parents truly care about. This is how a child becomes conditioned.I want to share an incident from the 1990s when I was running my pharmacy business in New York City. My business was bootstrapped, and whatever I earned, I reinvested into the business. In a short span of time, the business grew in terms of size and reputation. Our employees stayed with us for years. The few who left us did so to start their own businesses.On the days when there was bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Verrazano Bridge, which I took to get to work, my customers waited for me. Large chain pharmacies were around the corner, and yet they chose to give us their business. I no longer play an operational role in the business, and it’s been around fifteen years since I last filled a prescription. And to this day, some of the customers still ask about my welfare.Back then, when I was busy growing the business, I was working on a deal to open a new pharmacy in the city. My business associate had negotiated favorable terms with a prospective seller. Both parties were ready to ink the deal, and I invited the sellers to my home for brunch on the weekend.That morning, my associate told me that the contract had a clause that stretched the truth from our side. He told me that it wouldn’t be an issue because the clause would be inconsequential in a few weeks after the deal closed. My associate was convinced that there would be no damage to the seller or to us. But as it stood, the clause was a stretch. There were other buyers competing with us for this deal, and I was coached that if a question about the clause came up, I should say, “It’s all good.”Soon the sellers arrived. We were having a great conversation and a feeling of camaraderie was in the air giving the feeling that the paperwork was a mere formality. As we headed to eat, the seller asked if we were compliant with the contract. From his tone, I knew it was a routine checklist question. And I politely answered no, and also mentioned the clause where we had a problem.No one was expecting this turn of events and what followed was a stoic brunch. No papers were signed that day. After the sellers left, my associate, who was upset, asked for an explanation. He was like my younger brother and his anger was understandable. Here’s what happened that afternoon.As we were having our conversation, I saw my son playing in the living room. He was a young boy, six years old at that time. For a moment our eyes met, he smiled at me and continued playing. But my heart became heavy. I asked myself, “Why are you doing this?” “What are you teaching him?” “Is this what I want to break bread over?” I was already hesitant, and when I saw my boy’s face, it gave me the nudge needed to act on my heart’s guidance.After a few months, I met the sellers at a social event. After some small talk, the seller told me that they made a deal with someone else. He also confided in me that the new buyer had stretched the truth and did not disclose it at the time of the deal. Even though we didn’t have a deal, our mutual respect increased. I shared this story to point out that even if parents don’t tell their children what is truly important to them, the children pick it up. Your moral dilemmas today can become theirs in the future. Children subliminally absorb our thinking patterns even when we are not in the same room with them. Children are like sponges, soaking up everything. And children want to achieve whatever their parents value.&nbsp;Parents and close family members sometimes play the role of potters, shaping the children’s character. At other times, they are the gardeners, grooming and nourishing the child. At all times they are the guardians of the child’s moral compass.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50.67%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/character_builds_personality5_f8396e351e.jpg"></figure>Children are like sponges, soaking up everything. A child’s character is a result of the environment and the suggestions their elders make. It’s up to the parents to truly value compassion, kindness, love, courage, empathy, and other qualities. Only then do we pass on the right message to our children.From Chapter 14 of&nbsp;The Wisdom Bridge.2&nbsp;To be continued.<hr>1‘The Mask of Tragedy,’ Memento, 17 July 2018, <a href="http://www.diptyqueparis-memento.com/en/the-mask-of-tragedy/">http://www.diptyqueparis-memento.com/en/the-mask-of-tragedy/</a>2 Patel, K.D., 2022.

Tracie Pape

<h4>This is an invitation from TRACIE PAPE to practice Peacefulness and see what the simple and powerful intentions can create within you and in others.</h4>“Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.”&nbsp; —Vince GillGrowing up in the Catholic Church, singing this song was my favorite part of the mass. With everyone singing in unison, a sense of connectedness would arise each Sunday when we sang the chorus. For those who meditate, Peacefulness feels like this hymn. Many traditions focus on the importance of love for all and working for a more peaceful world.&nbsp;As a longtime Heartfulness practitioner and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my understanding of the role spirituality plays in our well-being has evolved. Suffering is an inevitable part of human existence. A common reaction to suffering is to withdraw and isolate in an attempt to protect others from experiencing our distress. Loneliness is one of the most significant factors in contributing to human suffering. One of the greatest gifts we can receive and offer is presence and bearing witness to pain. This is support in its purest form and offers balm for the soul. Presence is manifested in Peacefulness and allowing all to exist as they are, sending out the intention that we can live in harmony with ourselves and each other.I can practice this even when not physically connected to others. I often think of Peacefulness as a pregnant pause. It is a pause and an intention full of potential, unknown and unseen. Before I meditate, before I work, before I interact with others, I pause and enter a state of Peacefulness, allowing me to connect with my values and highest intentions. Peacefulness makes space for stillness, reflection, and intent.Peacefulness allows me to feel connected with others and all beings in that pause, reflection, and intent. I experience Peacefulness as self-compassion turned outward. When I send out an intention for peace, kindness, compassion, and love, I am connecting with that place within me that experiences that condition and hopes for others to experience it. When I practice self-compassion, I tap into the idea that I am already enough as I am, which supports self-love and self-acceptance. Peacefulness helps me tap into this idea that we are all enough as we are, with the intention of spreading this awareness and insight.<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">Peacefulness helps me tap into this idea&nbsp; that we are all enough as we are, with the intention of spreading this awareness and insight.</h4><hr>As we invite others to practice Peacefulness, it is a collective intent to see where this can take us together. Practice pausing and using the Peacefulness intentions to stay in touch with what is really important. This simple act can reduce reactivity, resistance, and conflict when engaging with others. It is possible to set an intention to focus on connection and well-being above all else. This is an opportunity to see what our collective intentions can create for us, our families, friends, and communities.Peacefulness creates an avenue to connect with that place in us that longs for connection, love, and peace. It also connects with that place in others. We have all experienced pain and hardship that have created barriers to peace and acceptance. This allows us to have compassion for the suffering in others. Peacefulness increases our capacity to understand others’ pain and have compassion for suffering humanity.<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/My_Fellow_Travelers2_8e9faf9b7d.jpg"></figure>We may never know the impact our thoughts and intentions have, so engaging in Peacefulness can be an act of hope. Join me in practicing Peacefulness to channel hope for humanity, to remember that we are all connected, and that we all long for self-love and a sense of belonging.<a href="https://www.peacefulness.org/our-intentions">https://www.peacefulness.org/our-intentions</a>For those of you feeling a calling to practice Peacefulness, we will create the path and future of this approach, and we will see where it takes us together. Cheers to my fellow travelers and I look forward to this journey together.“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.”&nbsp; —Albert Einstein<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/My_Fellow_Travelers3_739b388061.jpg"></figure>

Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur (1899-1983), affectionately known as BABUJI, was a revolutionary spiritual scientist and philosopher. He was the founder of the present-day system of Raja Yoga meditation, known as Heartfulness.



Babuji

<h3 style="text-align:center;">BABUJI’S NATURAL REMEDIES</h3>&nbsp;<h4>During his lifetime, BABUJI shared a wealth of knowledge to his associates about the simple natural remedies that he learned and also discovered during his life in northern India. This month we share his thoughts on garlic and sandalwood.1</h4>Babuji highly recommended his associates to eat two to three pieces of garlic every day. In the last few years of his life, Babuji used to say “Garlic is not copper, not gold, not silver; it is diamond.”Babuji felt that the sandalwood tree (Chandan) was useful for many things besides its aromatherapy. He said that the older the tree, the greater the benefits. Its benefits increase from generation to generation, that is, they are passed to the next generation.<hr>1 Please note that these remedies are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Lynn Geddes

<h4>LYNN GEDDES explores the importance of what we think and how our thoughts create our own unique reality. She also shares a way to change that reality by working with intentions and manifestation.&nbsp;</h4>&nbsp;<h4 style="text-align:center;">Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.&nbsp; —Henry Ford</h4><h4 style="text-align:center;">We see what we become and we become our world.&nbsp; —Deepak Chopra</h4>Like you, I am a unique individual. There are no two people in the whole world who are exactly the same. Could it be that this is because the world I inhabit, the world I perceive, is created by me and only me?&nbsp;Based on my beliefs, reinforced by my experience, and enlivened by my feelings, the world I come to know, to live in on a daily basis, is actually a projection of my thoughts. And this makes it totally unique.Over 30 years’ experience in counseling, specifically addiction counseling, has led me to an awareness that resonates with the famous Henry Ford quote above. &nbsp;&nbsp;Clearly there are many factors involved in creating our individual world and how we inhabit and experience it. And one of the core elements, in my experience, is what we think.&nbsp;Time and time again I have witnessed self-fulfilling prophecies in action. An individual experience, the beliefs that support the thinking, and the intensity of the feelings that are associated with the experience all add to the power of creation.&nbsp;As we develop a particular way of being – character or personality for ease of understanding – our very own individual way of perceiving the world develops and we inhabit our own reality. This in turn gives us our unique experience of life. This individual experience of life is further enhanced by the feelings associated with that experience, and the cycle is complete by reinforcing our thinking of “me, my life, my world, my reality.”&nbsp;If we take the beliefs that support our thinking, it’s worth investigating what created those beliefs in the first place. Quite often they are not actually ours – we may have inherited them from our parents or peers. If we believe something to be true and yet have no evidence to support that truth, is it really part of our world or does it belong in someone else’s world?&nbsp;If we take an experience, the associated feelings that grow and enhance that experience in turn form and affect our character or personality. Good or bad feelings give us the discernment of good or bad experiences. We experience the feelings, and if they are repeated often enough, they become part of our world, our way of being. So, an experience that is actually neither good or bad, becomes good or bad depending on the feelings we associate with it. How we think or remember it.Finally, if we think that the feeling associated with an experience&nbsp;is true, it becomes our reality, our life. We have created a unique way of being that is ours. Can or can’t – either way we’re correct.Following these steps of creation, some of us more consciously than others, it is possible to create a way of being through manifesting.Simple easy steps, when repeated, are given energy by invoking feelings. They are unique to you, and you can develop a new way of being, new beliefs and experiences, that in turn create a new reality.<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">So, an experience that is actually neither good or bad,&nbsp; becomes good or bad depending on&nbsp; the feelings we associate with it.&nbsp; How we think or remember it.</h4><hr><h3>Create an Intention with the 3 Ps</h3>Make your own statement that is:<h4 style="margin-left:36.0pt;">Personal – it is only about you. Present tense – it has not been, and is not to come. Use the power of now. Positive – feel what it’s like to have the experience you are manifesting, really feel it as you repeat the statement.</h4>Start with:I AM – that’s the first two Ps taken care of.Now, feel what the experience will bring you.Say it frequently, every day, for 6 months. Release the experience of creation and see for yourself how it manifests.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:30.56%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/What_We_think2_942812cc38.jpg"></figure>P.S. Some thoughts never result in much; they never make it to the finish line. This usually happens because the belief system may not be based on your personal experience, but has been taught to you by another person. Or maybe it is not positive, e.g. “I can’t…”&nbsp;<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">Illustrations by JASMEE MUDGAL</h4><hr>&nbsp;

<h4>DAAJI shares some simple practices that allow peace to manifest in daily life. The ripple effect as more of us do this is already building momentum.</h4>Peace. This most evocative word has many meanings. You may dream of world peace, the cessation or absence of war, and the freedom from civil disorder and dissension. But the feelings of hatred and violence all around create anxiety and it is easy to feel helpless. What to do in these situations that appear to be out of your control?&nbsp;In fact, you are not helpless. You can manifest and create peace within yourself and around you.Inner peace is a state of tranquility and harmony within the heart, which leads to acceptance, no matter what comes your way. And in creating peace with others in your relationships, you can reconcile differences and establish friendliness by connecting your heart with theirs. This radiates outward, creating a feeling of unity.<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">Inner peace is a state of tranquility and harmony within the heart, which leads to acceptance,&nbsp; no matter what comes your way.</h4><hr><h4>How to manifest peace?</h4>By using the power of intention, and practicing it every day with sincerity and feeling, you will create a new and peaceful reality for yourself. Here are three exercises that will help you manifest a state of equanimity and peace:<h4>1. The ocean of peace</h4>This practice removes emotional heaviness from your mind, bringing it back to its original peaceful state:Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Imagine that you are in a gentle ocean of peace. The waves are soothing and blissful. Have the firm thought that you are immersed in this ocean of peace, and the waves are removing all your coverings. Do this for as long as you can, but no more than thirty minutes.<figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:29.64%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/manifest_peace2_fa3aa313d0.jpg"></figure><h4>2. The tree pose</h4>This is one of the fundamental Hatha Yoga poses, a simple practice of balancing on one leg, which has many health benefits, including bringing you to a state of peace as well as relaxing your mind and body.Stand tall with your feet together in a relaxed and balanced pose. Take a few deep breaths. Bring your hands to the Namaste position at your center. Start by lifting one leg, bending the knee, and placing your foot on the side of the calf of your other leg. Then with practice, gradually place your bent leg higher up so that your foot reaches the knee.&nbsp; Focus on your breathing and remaining still as your mind and body relax.Note, it can be physically challenging for hips and ankles, so be aware of your body’s capabilities and only do what is comfortable for you. If you need to place your foot on the ankle of your other leg, that is also okay.<h4>3. Radiate peace with intentions</h4>I invite you to use any of these three intentions whenever you have a spare moment. Feel free to use your own words and create new peace intentions.<figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:27.68%;"><img src="https://cdn-hfn.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/manifest_peace3_5a83bd9467.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4 style="text-align:center;">Intention 1</h4>Among all people in the world Let there be compassion Let there be kindness Let there be love Let there be peace&nbsp;<h4 style="text-align:center;">Intention 2</h4>Everything around you&nbsp;is absorbing peace,&nbsp; including&nbsp;the sky, the oceans, the trees,&nbsp; the people, the wildlife,&nbsp;the buildings –&nbsp; and everything&nbsp;is radiating peace.&nbsp;<h4 style="text-align:center;">Intention 3</h4>Everyone is becoming peaceful,&nbsp; nurturing correct thinking, right understanding,&nbsp;and&nbsp; integrity of purpose.&nbsp;“First, it is an intention. Then a behavior. Then a habit. Then a practice. Then a second nature. Then it is simply who you are.”—Brendon Burchard<hr><h4 style="text-align:center;">By using the power of intention, and practicing it every day with sincerity and feeling you will create a new and peaceful reality for yourself.</h4><hr>
