A Power Point Presentation of some profound quotes of Wisdom on the truth of Impermanence a realization of which lifts the mind spiritually to one of Love, Compassion, Peace and Freedom.
This is a Slide-Show which is used with music in my Community Cohesion workshops. I can provide with music on a DVD from my website.
The slide-show takes 20 minutes and contains over 200 slides. It introduces life on the planet, family and friends before exploring some causes of suffering - war, poverty and global warming.
Some images are disturbing so I would not show this to anyone under 14 years of age. It is really designed for KS4 and older.

We all remain here, as slaves sold to Fate and Destiny, and we are deceived by their allurements…Destiny, the faithful and obedient wife of Fate, is naturally fickle on account of her being a female. She is always bent on mischief and disturbing patience.
Everyone in this world is fond of affluence and pleasures, not knowing that these are only calculated to lead him to his ruin. All individual existences are liable to appear and disappear. All desires are chains to the world, and all worldly beings are constantly seen to be led away to where, necessarily, no one can tell.
The duration of human life in this world is being decreased in each generation in proportion to the increase of wicked acts. The desire of pleasure is as vain as the expectation of reaping fruit from a vine growing in the sky. Yet I know not why men of reason would not understand this truth.

THE ROSICRUCIAN ORDER
PURPOSE AND WORK OF THE ORDER
The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is a philosophical and initiatic tradition. As students progress in their studies, they are initiated into the next level or degree.
Rosicrucians are men and women around the world who study the laws of nature in order to live in harmony with them. Individuals study the Rosicrucian lessons in the privacy of their own homes on subjects such as the nature of the soul, developing intuition, classical Greek philosophy, energy centers in the body, and self-healing techniques.
The Rosicrucian tradition encourages each student to discover the wisdom, compassion, strength, and peace that already resides within each of us.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.

Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.
Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences.
Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life

Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence.
Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life.
Slide 8: Summary: Embracing Mindfulness for Full Living
Mindfulness can bring numerous benefits for physical and mental health.
Regular mindfulness practice can help achieve a fuller and more satisfying life.
Mindfulness has the power to change our perspective and way of perceiving the world, leading to deeper se
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.

tree, every blade of
grass, all the
animals, insects,
human beings,
buildings,
the animate
and the inanimate—
is always changing,
moment to moment.
Pema Chodron

May we all strive
hard for
Enlightenment.”

spider.
We weave our life
and then move
along in it.
We are like the
dreamer who
dreams and then
lives in the dream.
This is true for the
entire universe.
The Upanishads

when one
will transit.
Why then live a life
of so much
greed?”

dreamlike and
impermanent the
phenomenal world
really is.

phenomena
don’t last,

birth and death,
And there is a
blissful
tranquility.

21. All formations
are `transient’
(anicca);
all formations
are `subject
to suffering’
(dukkha);
all things are
`without a self’
(anattaa).
~ Gautama
Buddha
21
23. Again, when one
understands that
corporeality, feeling,
perception, mental
formations and
consciousness are
transient (subject to
suffering, and without
a self), also in that
case one possesses
Right Understanding.
Gautama
Buddha
23
24. “The only certainty
in life
is uncertainty.
Reflecting,
let’s strive for
peace and
equanimity.”
24
25. We need to
surrender to the fact
that all efforts at
permanence are
hopeless.
No structure we can
build will protect us
from the
contingencies of life.
But in the midst of
that impermanence
is the incredible
gift of life.
~ Ecclesiastes
25
26. “Yesterday – A
Memory
Tomorrow –
Uncertainty.
What matters is
Today.
Today
That’s why the Present
is a Gift.”

27. Everything about us, within as well as without -our
relationships, our thoughts, our feelings- is
impermanent, in a constant state of flux.
J Krishnamurty

28. “Do we live with
a purpose and
meaning
in this life that
is so very
fleeting?”
28
29. When you truly
embrace
your human
impermanence
you connect with
the power you
have, and
influence you
have, over the
time you have.
― Steve Maraboli
