42 Ideals of Ma’at

Long before the 10 Commandments, or Buddhism, ever existed were the 42 Laws of Ma’at from Ancient Egypt.
They represent the essential blueprints for our growth and refinement as a person.May be an image of the Great Sphinx of Giza and text

The Four Reminders

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'The Four Reminders In your daily life, try to: 1. Maintain an awareness of the preciousness of human life. 2. Be aware of the reality that life ends; death comes for everyone. 3. Recall that whatever you do, whether virtuous or not, has result; what goes around comes around. 4. Contemplate that as long as you are too focused on self-importance and too caught up in thinking about how you are good or bad, you will suffer. Obsessing about getting what you want and avoiding what you don't want does not result in happiness. Pema Chödrön'

Contemplation

Contemplation

“Neuroscience…tells us that fear, negativity, and hatred stick like Velcro to the nerves, while positivity, gratitude, and appreciation slide away like Teflon from those same nerves— until we savor them, or choose them, for a minimum of a conscious fifteen seconds. Only then do they imprint. Please reflect on this. The positive, loving, and non-argumentative savoring of the moment is called contemplation.”
