@Salrashed (Salah AlRashed) an Inspirational spiritual teacher whom I adored from the first moment I laid my fine eyes on him. *Yes I typed my fine eyes – ahem* Honestly, I think of him as a person who knows what he is talking about, knowledgable, a smart teacher (wish I can be a student under his supervision) and finally a very witty character. Ohh How I love how he slams and throw those remarks, I find myself laughing hysterically sometimes on topics that are SOOO true.

Been around the world – seen and read many things from here and there – most of the things I investigate in never made any sense.

Then I found Eckhart Tolle – Who lead me to Deepak Chopra – who lead me to Dr.Wayne Dyer – who finally lead me to Salah Al Rashed.

Funny, you cross all that distance, when really what you need – been looking for is right next to you.

What is that club ?

Click here and check it out yourselves. Most of my readers are english savvy skimmers – don’t be scared or fooled by the all-arabic-cast hah! – its really worth going through.

SO WHY DID I JOIN ?

The club offers lots of spiritual teachings, daily messages, weekly online meetings and meditation sessions. Ofcourse there is a lot more but these are the things that came out for now.

Lately, I have been very busy “enjoying my life” – I honestly have. Dare 90% of the universe to say that same line whole heartedly.

Been blessed and loved a lot – never before have I ever been so happy or mentally fulfilled.

So busy that I don’t have the time to read full books.

This is where the club fits in. I can hear the sessions, while I’m driving, before I sleep, I don’t have to choose a topic, any topic works well with me cuz its all mixed in spiritual teachings from greats who lived among us and the few who still exist.

Also, it keeps you soulfully connected. I can’t explain it.

Being a seeker of  enlightenment needs practice, just like muscles need flexin – I found a way to strengthen the volume of light within my being.

PLUS PLUS PLUS – there is a whole community of spiritual/open minded/non-judgemental beings on that club – Lord knows i don’t mingle with strangers, however it feels great knowing that other SMURFS like you exist in K-town.

Will be talking more and more about it soon – might inspire you – push you forward and make a change for the better.

Salah AlRashed

p.s: I always felt like I had strange thoughts or just a plain different mind set. I remember how I was ashamed and fearful of sharing my interest in knowledge I found from different cultures and belief systems. Never again is what I said to myself when I was 19 back then. Im a dinosaur now.

الحي يحييك ، والميت يزيدك غبن

معنى هذا المثل أن الشخص الفطين الذكي يريحك ويزيل همك وكأنه يعيد الحياة لك
أما الشخص الكسول الأحمق فيزيدك تعباً وهماً..

“The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become”

“I let people make remarks about me, but it doesn’t touch me, all those remarks.”

“I do not regret one moment of my life”

Do you see it ?

Created this simple looking picture.

Basically, its a picture of a white board with a tiny black dot.

What do I want ?

I want you to please understand that the big white board represents all the good, success and blessings you have in life. The black dot, represents things you countinously complain, nag, want attention for and beg to share with others.

Don’t believe me ? Have a look at twitter. The people you follow, those who follow you, most importantly, your tweets.

Do you see how small that dot is ? Do you comprehend how much time you spent on it ?

Finally, do you realize how blessed you are ? Do you see how big/how much/how grand you are ?

I hope I awakened something in you. Appreciation and gratitude.

“There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.”

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?”

“Winning is a habit”

“The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.”

“SEE ALL WOMEN AS MOTHERS, SERVE THEM AS YOUR MOTHER. WHEN YOU SEE THE ENTIRE WORLD AS YOUR MOTHER, THE EGO FALLS AWAY”

“You have to make it happen”

“Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve…Learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny.”

“Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness”

“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody”

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still“

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth”

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life”

“Be passionate for God, not for belief systems.  That is the only real decision that has to be made and can be applied to any and all situations. The question is always whether to be at the effect of the world or aligned with the Truth of God instead. The search for enlightenment is different from that of seeking worldly success”

Struck the ultimate cord within me.

“Although many of us may think of ourselves as thinking creatures that feel, biologically we are feeling creatures that think”
