Jazzart - The Jewel of the Cape - WE SHINE!

Jazzart - The Jewel of the Cape - WE SHINE!

Yes, Orlando loved the show and found it amazing and emotional. We can take it as a gift from the angels to have such an esteemed and humble artist appreciate our work.

Mainly WE SHINE because we are serving up a production that comes from inside, from our own Being, borne out of a creative process that challenged each member of the cast to investigate Biko's Quest and then to connect to that quest today and discover their own quest and turn that into the production! WE SHINE because the production reflects our own quest as much as it asks the audience to  reflect on their own quest for a true humanity.

Our beauty is shining, our positivity, optimism and hope is shining. We Shine as we inspire each other, encourage, support, love and forgive in the making of this production. We Shine because we embrace a new partnership with The Steve Biko Centre an initiative of the Steve Biko Foundation. We Shine because many souls have recently joined the Jazzart Dance Theatre bringing more light. Light that is illuminating the new people as much as those who have been here for a while.

We Shine because every person who has contributed to this production is as important as the next, We are all leaders, all giving hope to ourselves and each other!

More inspiration from Brahma Kumaris

I found this so inspiring, I just had to share it. The weekly inspiration form BKs for 3 September.  Reflections from Madhuban, the forest of honey

Being in the beautiful and pure atmosphere of Madhuban, the Bk headquarters for a week filled me with a quiet serenity and joy, just being in the company of the Dadis whose purity of heart, simplicity of life and love simply elevates your consciousness.  Below are some special jewels from Dadi Janki the head of the Brahma Kumaris. Have the deep feeling inside of moving forward.  Do not look back,  just keep going.  Finish everything and don’t pick up burdens.  It is very easy to tell others what they have to do, but it is hard for us to hear what we have to do.   Through soul consciousness you get the power to understand yourself. Through the connection with God you get the power to change yourself. Through the awareness of time you get the power to change now.   You can only be deeply happy if you understand and recognise yourself. If you recognise yourself you will have the conviction internally to do the right thing.   If you ask ‘why’ and ‘what’ it means you have not understood the drama of life.  Let nothing enter your mind that it will cause fear. Nothing should come in my mind without my permission. Keep two security guards: pure and determined thoughts.   Take everything with good feeling.   Nothing can happen without honesty and love.  If you don’t have the strength to finish what happened in the past, you won’t have energy for the future.  Value time. We do have time. Value time and you will not get confused. Then those who have to help will just appear in front of you. Those who know the importance of every day and every moment are the emperors and empresses so there will be a lot of happiness.  Ego takes up a lot of extra time from us. Arrogance is the desire for recognition. It doesn’t allow you to feel ‘I am a child of God’. Ego is of the self and doubt is of others and situations. In order to absorb knowledge a clean intellect is needed and by inculcating this knowledge it turns into jewels.  Why is God loved so much? He transforms the intellect of souls!  The sound of faith from within is ‘everything will be fine’. Faith gives the experience of victory. Pure and elevated thinking benefits others and gets the work done from a distance.  To be introverted means to keep your mirror clean and then to check yourself.  By considering yourself to be children of God and keeping attention, the mind and intellect will create the right sanskars.   Courage, trust and pure feelings (bhavna) – even if you don’t have a penny, keep these with you.   Internally keep truth and in interaction keep humility.
