  Please be careful of where you are walking. We need to be more mindful and in the present moment as we walk around. That means being mindful of your surroundings and who is there, not paying attention to your cell phone or some other device. If we aren't mindful we can unwittingly gather a lot of negative karma for ourselves. If you are walking around your home, go around your pets that are laying on the floor instead of stepping over them. The same goes with any person, you do not want to step over them if you can avoid it. This is especially important when it comes to stepping over someone's head. Never step over their head, that is very bad karma and completely disrespectful. That goes for humans, animals and insects, whether indoors or outdoors. It is really difficult to do that with insects, but try if you can. If you cannot avoid stepping over someone then try not to step over their head at least. Although it can be difficult, we need to try our best not to step...

  No one is perfect. I certainly am not perfect, but I try my best to do no harm. It isn't easy at times, but we all must try our best to not harm any living being. This includes ourselves. I have to admit this is easier when we don't have other people around us, especially those that live backward lives. Unless we become a hermit, we have to deal with other people. Even hermits have to deal with animals and insects, so they aren't entirely free either. We can harm others in a variety of ways, not just with violence. The golden rule applies here, treat others the way you want to be treated. You don't want to be made fun of, or hurt emotionally in anyway, so refrain from doing that to others. You don't want to be physically hurt, so don't lash out at anyone else, including animals and insects. You don't want your valuables to be stolen, so don't steal anything. You don't want to be lied to, so tell the truth. It really is that simple, and yet can ...

  Thank you for choosing to work on your spiritual path in an upward manner. The place to begin is to work on becoming a kinder person. By showing kindness to others, we are showing them that we care about them. We begin to show that we have empathy and compassion for them. In a way, we are showing that we love and value them. This can be difficult if you are not familiar with behaving this way at all or if you are in a situation that others will take advantage of you, use you or abuse you. We need to remember that anyone that causes you or others harm does not know the damage they are causing themselves. They are acting out of ignorance. They simply do not know what they are doing. They do not know the consequences they will have to face in the future or they wouldn't behave that way. We can try to show these people kindness, but if they continue to harm us we need to separate ourselves from them. After all, we are not being kind to them if we allow them to harm us, because we...
