Namaste and good day all. We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast of the Daily Dose of Truth for some breaking news from station WTRUTH. I am Rev. Drea, your Truth reporter coming to you live from the Universal Divine Flow of Life with a special report on International Women’say 2019.
Every 8th of March is a UN observance called “International Women’s Day.” The first women’s, day was actually on 28 February and held in New York City in 1909 by the American Socialist Party. The 8th of March date springs from the holiday kept by Soviet Russia, commemorating the Russian Revolution, which actually began with an uprising of women textile workers, in 1917, during World War I. It was only in 1975 that International Women’s Day was declared a UN observance and began to be celebrated by non-Socialist countries. Today, it is meant to commemorate the struggle for women’s rights and gender equality. And it looks back to roots in various labor movements of the early 1900s. On this day each year, there are special media campaigns, women’s rights events and exhibits, and fundraising campaigns for various women’s rights causes.”

In honor of this year’s International Women’s Day, I will talk to you about a very special Truth Student name Aung San Suu Kyi.
“A Burmese opposition politician Suu Kyi is the very definition of courage and strength. She was under house arrest for 15 years for her pre-democracy campaigning. Shen only gained release in 2010 following an international campaign to let her free. She won a Nobel prize in 1991 where it was said that ‘Suu Kyi’s struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades.’”

The following are few quotes from Ms. Suu Kyi that shows how she uses the Spiritual faculty of Strength, and a few key Spiritual Laws to live an Intentional Life.
“It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” -Aung San Suu Kyi
With this quote Ms. Suu Kyi’s reminds us that we must be mindful to not let fear control our lives. Fear is a product of the ego. And if we buy in to every fear that the ego tries to sell us, we will buy into the illusions of the error thinking and false belief that do not serve us. We must use the strength of our alignment with Spirit, to hold steadfast to the Truth and live an Authentic and Intentional life.
“By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.” -Aung San Suu Kyi
In this second quote, Suu Kyi shows us how to implement the Law of Giving & Receiving. By taking care of society and nature, you take care of yourself. It is the gift that keeps on giving, and it needs to be protected and nourished so that it can protect and nourish you. Not only will you be nourished, it will remind you of how you need to take care of yourself. The Universe, by the law, finds the best way to give back the energy that you give out. It will give it to you in the form of something that you do not have with you. It gives you in multiples, when it is most appropriate, in the most appropriate form.
“If you choose to do something, then you shouldn’t say it’s a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it.” -Aung San Suu Kyi
This final quote shows Ms. Suu Kyi’s belief in the Law of Sacrifice as explained by Raymond Holliwell. In order to become the best expression of your self, you must be willing to put in the work to master, your craft until it is fully revealed. “It is painstaking, scientific, technical discipline that produces results” (Holliwell, p. 156).
There is no sacrifice. It is a choice between instant gratification now, or long term permanent growth. Your authentic self will require you to put in the work to become its master, “magical results come not by chance or accident, but from discipline. Discipline that is consciously chosen, ardently desired, and patiently persisted” (Holliwell, p. 155).
MS. Suu Kyi is not only an exceptional politician and human being she is also a Master Truth Student. And we can definitely follow her example of using the spiritual faculty of strength, with the Spiritual Laws to live a life of Intention. This has been Rev. Drea your Truth Report with another Special Report from station WTRUTH.
