The Avatar Symbol
: "Sonten permeates the whole universe including earth and all humankind. Sonten manifests in a holographic trinity: Love, Light and Power." And i think "but what it's similar with the Avatar Symbol !", i explain: the three little circles inside the Avatar Symbol symbolize the 3 fondamendal principles : Love, Thruth and Courage in other words Love, Light and Power !!!!! After that all become clear with the help of my guides... they say me to spread the Symbol Reiki Masters because the Symbol used in combination with the Dai Ko Myo, helps to retrieve our Unity with the All and then accelerate the process of healing of Mother Earth. Enjoy :-) Max made me already notice that the Avatar Symbol have simile with the Symbol of the Heart Chakra... I was searching for a long time for the use of the Avatar Symbol, now I know grace to the translations... thanks to you, to your guides, to my guides and to God :-) Soon i shall send you a complete explanation of the Avatar Symbol because from the 3 fondamental principles come 7 virtues and 1 other virtue that come from no principles. For each virtues there is a colour and a mantra to meditate on it... Do you have found a mantra for the Avatar Symbol ? Me not and i'm really too excited to find one !
The 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit are: 1. Wisdom 2. Understanding 3. Judgement 4. Courage 5. Knowledge 6. Reverence 7. Wonder and Awe Here are prayers suggested in the Confirmation book for each. 1. Pray for wisdom. Take time each day to say the following prayer for the Spirit's great gift of wisdom. O God, Grant me wisdom fro the inside out. Help em see beneath and within, betwixt and between. Help me learn taht there is more to life, more to others, more to you than meets the eye. Amen. 2. Pray for understanding. Every morning, when you brush your teeth or shave or fix your makeup, take a good look at yourself in the mirror and pray: Good God, Help me to understand the truth about myself, no matter how good it is. Amen. 3. Pray for judgement. It is hardly ever easy to make good judgements. Evne Jesus turned to God in prayer when he was faced with difficult decisions. Take time each day to pray for the gift of judgement. Just and caring God, teach me to tell the difference between good and bad, right and wrong. But more than that, show me the good way, the right way-Your Way- in all the judgements I make. Amen. 4. Pray for courage. Courage is not adrenalin. It isn't automatic or triggered by electrical impulses in the brain. Courage is an impulse of the heart, and the heart can be a vulnerable place. Pray each day for courage and a strong but open heart. Bold and courageous Lord, I mean to love, but don't dare to love. I dream big dreams, but seldom make them come true. I plan to charge ahead, but only retreat. I pretend to be big and tough, but I am afraid of little things-the opinion of others, the laughter of friends, the disappointment of parents. Encourage me, Lord. Strengthen me to give my whole heart to the love, dreams, plans, and people I hold dear. Amen. 5. Pray for knowledge. When you say "I want to know you," you are saying that you want to get closer to another. Prayer is a way to get closer to God. It is a way to know God. Intimate God, You know me as I am for who I am. Help me grow to know others as you know me, to know you as you know me. Teach me to treasure the mystery of creation, your people, and Yourself, so that when I meet you face-to-face, I may hear you say, "Hey, I know you!" Amen. 6. Pray for reverence. Take time--even a little time--to think of God, to love God and to grow in reverence. Oh Holy One, my treasure, my heart's desire, teach me respect and joy for the work of your hands. Offer me a portion of your compassion. Teach me to recognize taht everything You fashion is good. Amen. 7. Praying for wonder and awe. The experience of the gift of wonder and awe most often moves people to respond with prayers of praise. Take time to do that, too. God of wonders and wonderful promises, electrify me with but a hint of Your awesome power. Excite me with the adventure that is you, especially as it unfolds in my adventures with others. Brighten my life with an awareness of you, so that I might sparkle and glow with the luster of love. Amen.
