TO LIVE OUR REAL RIGHTS
Honor is to live and behave in accordance with spiritual rules.
However the conditions are against us, to live with honor, to know, accept
and express our inner reality.
It is to inspire others not with our sayings, but with
our behaviors.
Honor rule is to live in accordance with your own
reality whatever the conditions are. It is about how you behave even no one
sees you.
To be against the rules of society is like swimming
against the flow. It is to be against the fleeing values of the society. If
you do not resist your deepest desires of your heart, you can do whatever
you want but this makes your life hard. It can exhaust you and bear its
results.
DO YOU ASK ‘’HOW’’?
Like shaking the beliefs and feelings of the other people that
takes these beliefs serious.
YOU GET CURIOUS ABOUT
WHETHER HONOR IS TO OBEY THE RULES OF SOCIAL VALUES, DON’T YOU?
Honor
does not mean to avoid ethical, legal and immoral behaviours, to obey the
value judgements of the society. Honor is related with the consciousness.
I HOPE YOU DO NOT THINK THAT I PROPOSE YOU TO OBEY
BECAUSE IT IS EASY?
I do not exactly mean to show a blind harmony
or a blind objection. Just open your eyes, be aware of the words of your
heart instead of being defeated to the spontaneous desires and motives.
Honor Rule, requires the real expression of
our inner reality. Jealousy, manipulation and greediness direct our
behaviours or our expression, it is inevitable to face with its results.
Causality rule is the processing form of universal mechanism.
Not obeying cosmic rules, itself, is a
punishment. As we can not escape from gravity rule, we can not escape from
the results of the secret forces that our behaviours activate.
A cat is not trying to be another person.
Look at the objects around one after another. A tree, a wind...
I KNOW THAT YOU SEE ALL, OK THEN , CAN YOU
FEEL THEM?
You could’nt understand what I am trying to
say, could you? The people, different from the things that natural life
create, are seperated from their own nature.
Shamans are the healers of native people,
masters of the changing art. This art, is not related with
changing your body, but to extend by feeling
and directing your awareness to an animal, to a tree or a river. That is
"to be" them by feeling your inner values, to become one with each, to
learn their lessons.
This is a thing that can be done. Because
your big "Me" covers everything.
WHAT KIND OF
A RELATION IS THERE BETWEEN THESE AND HONOR RULE ?
I was
waiting for you to ask this. Master Leo-Tsu sometime said so: ‘’A swan does
not have to take a bath in order to whiten himself.’’ You also do not have
to do something to be yourself. Natural life is natural. Flowing river,
blowing wind, a cicket is glad to be herself. Are you glad to be yourself
with your missings and pluses?
ARE YOU SAYING WHAT IF I WANT TO BE MUCH
MORE?
How can you be much more?
You are already limitless.
When you are dead, nobody will ask you
whether you have been a saint or not at the gates of paradise. Just, whether
you have been ‘’yourself’’ or not, will be asked.
As long as ages, everybody, from Plato to
Mevlana reminded us the same thing: "Know yourself" and "be your
own reality"...
Honor means
to be integrated. It means to know ourselves and be ourselves. When we are
honorable, our behaviours are in accordance with our highest goals.
Our
body, our mind, our emotions and our behaviours are in accord.
The entire
is bigger than the addition of the pieces. It is meaningless to talk about
honor till we understand our deepest motives, values, goals.
Instead of supposing who we are or trying to
be seen as we want, we seem as we are honorable till we accept but we can
not be honorable.
Some gives the poor with love and compassion,
some with the need of feeling of guilt and the need for affecting others.
Both of them do ‘favor’. But one of
them is honorable.
The aim and
the need creates a difference in the life of the one who gives and gets.
Because the thing we give , is far beyond the value of the money. The thing
we give is the value that we see.
PROBABLY, TO
HAVE SUCCESS AT BEING HONORABLE SEEMS TO BE MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOU THINK,
DOESN’T IT?
I want you
to know that everything is difficult till it becomes to be difficult. To be
yourself wants courage and openness. In order to be yourself, you should
live this reality saying to yourself and the world that ‘’ whether you like
or not, I am like this’’.
For once, you accept that you are a human,
honorable life is not so difficult. Honor is not to be perfect or not to
live without making a mistake. All of us make mistakes. Just we do our best
and we learn from our mistakes; so as to do the better for the next time.
To be in accord with the Honor Rule, by
accepting our weaknesses and using our power inside, is to be a light and a
sample.
Maybe,
While Mahatma Gandhi is saying "my dream is my teacher", she was
meaning this.
We can never say that children listen their
parents. But always they imitate their behaviours.
Don’t look like this, yes, you are right. Not
just the children, each of us affect the others with our behaviours. And
each of us learn by imitating the things we see. We do this consciously or
unconsciously. We teach others not by our sayings, but with our behaviours.
To be a prophet of peace requires practice.
