THE
ANSWER TO SUN TZU
"The
Road to Happiness"
by
Paulette Renee Broqueville
"Is
there satisfaction in the heart? Is there contentment
with the small and the everyday and that which is
not new or exciting, but sits in the shade of a man's
life?" This the reply to the young Sun Tzu's
question, "What is it to have happiness?"
"There are two different men," she went
on to say, "one is happy with what he has and
the other is unhappy with what he does not have. Which
one will achieve a happy life? One man looks at today
and smiles and the other looks at today and cries.
Happiness lives within the walls of the heart. The
heart that thinks only of what it has to give is happy.
The heart that thinks only of what it wants is unhappy.
Happiness is being one with the Will of the Father
in Heaven. When unhappiness comes as a cloud over
you - move to another place, where the sun shines
and happiness fills your heart, for there - in happiness
- is where the Father wants you to be - it is His
Will. Unhappiness comes to men who impose their own
will upon themselves. Memories imprison the heart
of a soul who lives in terror, sorrow or anger. He
is a man trapped by his past. The heart of this man
cannot know happiness until he can think only of his
future. The future soon becomes the present and the
sorrowful past fades away, like a mist that comes
and goes leaving only the warmth of the sun. A new
past is born. - a happy past. The living and the reliving
of the sorrowful past, can only imprison the heart.
Let the heart be free. Think only of the future and
begin living in it, for that is your present - and
your gift. The present is the path to happiness. The
road to the future is the present. To remain on the
road from the past is to live in unhappiness all of
your days - for you, there is no present and no future.
Woe unto him who imprisons the heart of a child in
a sorrowful past for he shall be forgotten by men
and angels."
THE
ANSWER TO SUN TZU
"The
Heart and the Mind"
by
Paulette Renee Broqueville
"The
man who must have control over his life is a man who
has not learned to think." This the reply to
the young Sun Tzu's question, "My heart talks
to me and my mind talks to me. To which one shall
I listen?" "Within the walls of the heart
lies truth, " she went on to say, "and the
mind is the servant of the heart. The man who knows
this truth is a leader of men. The heart unfolds its
secrets, as a flower from bud to bloom. He who can
wait to learn the wisdom of the heart, is the one
who will know. He will not be a man who can be enslaved,
bought or sold for any price. Silence and patience
are the essence of such a man. He is the one who rests
in reason and moves in passion. Within such a man
the mind is silent, waiting, listening for direction
from the heart. The man who acts on the direction
of the mind will not have victory - not with man or
woman. He is the enemy of his own heart. He who learns
that the heart is the stronger of the two will rule
the soul of his enemy in war and be victorious; and
he who follows his heart in love, will have a happy
life. Woe unto him who battles his heart life long;
for too many men have learned too late in life that
they have lived the wrong life. He who lives by what
his mind tells him, will have incomplete information;
as though he did not have eyes or ears or hands. This
man is not a leader and should not be trusted; for
he will boast of his plans to men and women. The man
who is trusted is he who trusts his heart for guidance;
for he alone has the power to keep the secret. His
mind does not know the plan of the heart until the
moment of victory, and therefore, will not reveal
his secret plans. This man has no control over his
life and yet he has ultimate control. His heart controls
and he follows. He who can follow his heart is he
who can lead many unto victory."
THE
ANSWER TO SUN TZU
"The
Nature of Man"
by
Paulette Renee Broqueville
Man
has two choices: to be separate from the Soul of Man
or to be one with the Soul of Man." This the
reply to the young Sun Tzu's question, " What
is the nature of Man?" "The soul can live
alone without the body of Man or it can live as the
Soul of Man," she went on to say. "The Soul
does not need food, therefore it does not become a
glutton. The Soul does not need sexual pleasure; therefore
it does not take what is not his. The Soul does not
drink; therefore it will never be intoxicated with
ravings uncontrolled. The Soul does not sleep; therefore
it will always be where it is needed. The Soul is
the defender of truth; therefore it will always live
in happiness. The Soul has no other desire than to
share with others; therefore it will never be found
jealous. The nature of the Soul is to give, and from
this giving is pleasure derived. To live as Man without
the Soul is to be without inspiration. It is to spend
life taking but never giving. It is to see, but only
one's own face. It is to hear, but only one's own
voice. It is to act, but only in selfishness. It is
to speak, but words that are empty of meaning. It
is to give, but only to take more than what was given.
It is to avoid truth and in so doing to live unhappily.
Woe, unto him who lives with him who has no soul for
unhappiness shall follow him wherever he goes."
The
Child and the Desires of Man and Woman
by
Paulette-Renee Broqueville
“The
soul of man and woman is a child.” This the reply
to the young Sun Tzu’s question, “What happens
to the boy or the girl who is used for the sexual
pleasure of a man or a woman?”
“He or she who abuses the soul of a child or
allows others to abuse the soul of a child is guilty
of murder of the soul: murder of the soul. Murder
of the body is dealt with by man but murder of the
soul is dealt with by God. The soul is born into a
baby body, entrusted to the care of man and woman.
What murderers are found among the caretakers. What
life lay ahead for the soul after the first attack?
The soul having lost its trust for the caretakers,
loses its trust in people and in his or her own soul.
What path lay ahead with such a beginning? Two paths
are laid out in front of the maimed and weakened soul.
One path is easy, the other is full of boulders, high
mountains and deep valleys. The soul who falls down
the first path lays down in a drunken stupor or stays
in the world of the opium maze.
The second path is taken by the brave, the souls who
love even their abusers. What life lays ahead for
him or for her is not known but each is willing to
struggle to regain what was lost in the abuse: trust.
Because this soul has great love, hatred cannot enter;
because this soul has great hope, dispair cannot enter;
because this soul has a desire to give in charity
to others; depression cannot enter. It is these three
qualities in the soul that carry the soul over the
boulders, mountains and the deep valleys into which
each was thrown at the time of the abuse.
And will the soul regain what was lost? Never! But
much strength, wisdom and understanding is gained
on the difficult journey in search of trust.
For those who overcome the boulders and seek truth
much healing will take the place of the maimed soul
that once was whole and innocent. For those who only
want to forget the abuse they will wallow in the prison
of pleasure: sexual, drunken or the opium maze until
the day they lay down the body.
And she or he who continues in search of truth? This
one is capable of great feats; having mastered the
mind and the emotions she or he will live as the pure
soul on earth placing great trust in knowing his or
her own soul as good.”
