Why do I Love them so much ?

Because They are deeply connected with their own aliveness and that brings out the aliveness in everyone around Them

Let's Sing Together :)

Let's sing together , I really do love that Lyrics by muna , very touchy :) hehehehehe

aku mau bilang padamu
bahwa cinta bukanlah pinta
dia mengalir sekuat gaya
dan melumatkan segala rasa

aku mau bisik padamu
bahwa cinta adalah daya
yang menghangatkan malam-malammu
dan menggantikan peluh tubuhmu

dia melebihi megahnya surga
dan mengatasi panas neraka
kepada dunia cinta mendamba
dam mengosongkan dirinya

aku tahu kata dunia
bahwa cinta adalah sayang
tapi dengarkan apa kubilang
sungguhlah cinta adalah daya

aku janji pada semesta
pijar cinta terus membara
yang menyalakan padam nurani
dan yang melipur segala khilaf

dia menurunkan semua raja
dan meninggikan kamu yang papa
kepada dunia cinta mendamba
dan mengosongkan dirinya

Pray

When we pray, God’s answer might require action on our part.

Evan Almighty is a fantastic movie. The humor is fun all throughout the movie and the writing is very clean and appropriate for the whole family. I also really appreciate that the writers keep a certain respect and down-to-earth wisdom in God’s character.

The clip that we are using is a major transition in the movie. At this point in the story Joan (Evan’s wife) and their three boys have been feeling that Evan is irrational and ruining the family by building the ark. They’ve left Evan to build the ark by himself and are on their way to stay with Joan’s parents. Stopping at a diner on the way, Joan meets God but doesn’t realize who she’s talking to. God encourages Joan and gives her some insight on life and prayer

Introducing the Clip:
Today we’re going to watch a video clip from the movie Evan Almighty. The movie is about a guy named Evan who has been visited by God and told to build an ark, just like in the story about Noah in the Bible. Evan’s wife and kids think he’s gone crazy, so they’ve left him to stay with his wife’s parents. In this scene, they’re already on the road, and they’re stopping to eat at a diner. Joan, Evan’s wife, meets God but doesn’t realize who she’s talking to. God encourages Joan and gives her some insight on life and prayer. Listen to what God tells her about praying—it’s really a great clip

(All three boys leave the table. Joan sees God, but thinks He is only a server in the diner.)

Joan: Excuse me. Can I get a refill please?

God: Coming right up.

Joan: Thank you.

God: Excuse me. Are you alright?

Joan: Yeah. (God looks at her unconvinced.) No. It’s a long story.

God: Well, I like stories. I’m considered a bit of a storyteller myself.

Joan: My husband… Have you heard of New York’s Noah?

God:(Chuckling) The guy who’s building the ark.

Joan: That’s him.

God: I love that story, Noah and the Ark. You know, a lot of people miss the point of that story. They think it’s about God’s wrath and anger. They love it when God gets angry.

Joan: What is the story about, then? The ark?

God: Well, I think it’s a love story about believing in each other. You know, the animals showed up in pairs. They stood by each other, side by side, just like Noah and his family. Everybody entered the ark side by side.

Joan: But my husband says God told him to do it. What do you do with that?

God: Sounds like an opportunity. Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they pray for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be closer, you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opportunities to love each other? Well, I got to run. A lot of people to serve. Enjoy.


God’s comments on prayer are really interesting, aren’t they? According to the clip, it seems as if we can’t really treat God like genie or Santa Claus, just expecting Him to give us what we ask for exactly how we expect Him to. The first time I saw this scene that kind of freaked me out. But perhaps there is a lot of truth in what He says.

Now, there are many types of prayers. Some are made just to thank God, and sometimes they are for confessing the wrong things we’ve done. Tonight we’re talking about the times we pray for God to help us grow or learn in some way. We’re going to break out into small groups now, and discuss what this actually looks like for us, when we pray for growth or help. Perhaps it may actually require something from us.

Prayer sure is an amazing thing, isn’t it? You know, a lot of people just treat God like He’s a genie, or Santa Claus, like He’ll just give them whatever they ask for without asking for anything in return. Sometimes that is the case, and we’re overwhelmed by God’s grace. But a lot of times, especially when we’re asking for help in a particular area, or when we’re asking God to help us grow in some way, He wants us along with our efforts to be a part of the solution. If we just pray for God to show us patience, but we aren’t actually trying to BE patient, how could we ever expect God to answer that prayer?

Let’s take a moment of silence. I want you to pray by yourself, asking God to help you in the area or circumstance you shared about in your group. But right now when you pray, also ask God to put opportunities in your path that will give you the chance to actually start practicing or working toward seeing those prayers answered. After a moment, I’ll close by praying for all of you out loud.

Close in Prayer

Found a great article :)

Accept the Inner Bitch

Disturbing trend I've noticed lately in the seduction community is people thinking they have gotten rid of the ego.

They think that they have completely removed their inner bitch, and are now only acting through their inner man. They call themselves "enlightened".

Newsflash:
If you participate in internet seduction discussion, you still have an ego.

The day that:
1. I am completely present 100% if the time (95% doesn't cut it)
and
2. My life is completely aligned with my purpose, and the actions that I take while present are 100% aligned with my life.

Then I will say that I no longer have an ego. I will truly have empowered my inner man, the Inner bitch will no longer be an issue.

The problem with the inner bitch is that by it's very nature it has a number of tricky qualities that make it so hard to eliminate. It's self-deceptive, self-reinforcing, and it has a huge interest in self-preservation, which is why just when you think you've gotten rid of it completely, you'll realize that it has reappeared in another form.

Let's look at how this plays out in people who think they've become enlightened.

People began to be aware of their ego, they learn to be present, and stop having those judgemental thoughts.

But the inner bitch has an interest in self-preservation, it's not gonna let them get away that easily. It lies in wait, in the depths of your subconscious mind, waiting for its chance.

All it takes is one thought: "I am enlightened." and BOOM, the inner bitch will see its chance and strike. The inner bitch takes this thought and starts to build itself up again around this thought. Rather than getting validation from others, it will get validation from this concept of enlightment.

Once it takes hold, its self-reinforcing qualities help it grow big and strong again. Every time you see others judging people, it's seductive voice will whisper to you : "It's a good thing YOU don't do that, you're enlightened." Self deception at its best.

Every time someone tries to get into an argument with you, you remain cool. Your inner bitch whispers "You're above petty reactiveness, you're enlightened." Again, your inner bitch takes the concept and fucks with it... the thought of not being reactive causes you to be reactive.

Eventually your inner bitch starts to get stronger, and as it does, it gets more daring. Now it no longer has to whisper, it can direct you as it wishes. It can give you wonderful backwards rationalizations like: "I can really think whatever I want about people, because I'm enlightened, so it's not judging."

Notice that the iner bitch takes good concepts, but because they're coming from the wrong place, they are actually self defeating. If the inner bitch says it is non-judgemental, it causes judgement, if it thinks it's unreactive, it causes reactiveness. If it thinks it's enlightened, it causes ego.

The solution: Self Awareness and choice.

When you realize the inner bitch for what it is, it ceases to have power over you.

You need to accept the fact that you have an ego. Realize that it's going to be a long time before your inner bitch is gone, and have the self awareness to realize that it's still there.

Realize when your inner bitch is making all those seductive littler whispers to you, and CHOOSE to ignore them. Rather than thinking "I am enlightened", CHOOSE every second of every day to be enlightened. Discover what your inner man believes, what his values are, and CHOOSE to act through these. More in the coming months.
