Mastermind (PART 2)

“To  be  effective,  leaders  must  have  the  qualities  and  attitudes  essential  to  work  in  a  group  setting.”   ~ Meg  Whitman;  American  business  executive,  political  activist  and  donor.


This is PART 2 of a short series of blogs on Mastermind  Leadership from a book I am writing, titled:  “Inner Wealth.  Outer Wealth.,” which deals with the spiritual, mental, and physical processes of all success achievement in life.


 

–Earlier, I talked about the core of mastermind and the Individual Mastermind.

I mentioned that Leadership  is  the  association  of  energies  living  in  your  consciousness  to  self-discipline  your  mortal  mind  and  lead  your  absolute  focus  to  target  in  spite  of  space  and  time  anomalies.  The  value  of  leadership  brings  the  strength  and  structure  of  the  mastermind  you  need  to  develop  your  idea  from  thought-form  into  actual  dynamic  delivery,  and  this  entails  as  well  the  mastermind  alliance  with  other  people  which  carry  the  same  ambition  and  intention.  This blog talks about then Collective Mastermind.

These  are  some  specific  thoughts  following  this  matter:

     1)  When  you  further  expand  your  mastermind  in  the  search  for  others  to  join  you,  do  not  settle  for  others  just  because  they  are  friends  or  family,  or  because  they  just  need  to  do  something  with  their  own  lives;  but,  instead  respect  your  own  vision  and  commitment  by  associating  with  people  which  shares  exactly  the  same  core  values  and  driving  force  you  do,  no  less  than  the  best  is  required  for  success.  This  might  seem  strict  and  cold,  but  the  reason  behind  this  rigorous  process  is  based  on  pure  excellence,  quality,  emotional  connection,  creative  management  of  the  vision  you  have  fashioned,  and  the  attraction  of  that  success  you  are  looking  for.  You  have  designed  your  vision  of  success  with  careful  effort  and  profound  love,  so  do  not  entrust  your  vision  to  just  anybody.  And  I  always  say  to  myself,  “Good  enough  just  doesn’t  cut  it,  excellence  does.”

 

     2)  When  you  choose  or  locate  the  people  you  will  be  talking  into  join  you,  you  must  transform  yourself  in  the  most  passionate  and  driven,  energetic  and  committed  person  you  know,  because  this  will  create  the  best  inner  and  outer  atmosphere  to  convey  your  thoughts  and  intentions  into  people,  this  process  will  also  keep  you  self-motivated  and  ready  to  transfer  that  value  from  within  you  into  the  mastermind  group.  People  respond  to  great  emotional  content  and  to  the  fulfilled  need  of  feeling  important,  so  your  job  is  to  make  them  feel  they  can  bring  expertise  and  value  (a  feeling  of  importance  within  themselves)  through  the  emotional  content  in  your  delivered  speech.

 

     3)  Believe  it  or  not,  the  way  you  dress  and  articulate  your  thoughts  matter,  so  when  you  talk  about  your  vision  with  yourself  and  with  others  you  need  to  feel  like  you  are  honoring  those  thoughts  and  ideas.  People  need  to  feel  this  commitment  as  well,  and  not  just  feel  it  but  become  part  of  this  noble  and  ambitious  process.  The  way  you  talk  and  dress  gives  that  needed  boost  of  serious  mental  planning  and  steely  determination  to  your  vision  before  yourself  and  others.  Always  remember,  carry  yourself  and  your  speech  with  good  pride  and  deep  love,  and  people  will  be  attracted  to  your  ideas  and  vision  like  some  sort  of  magic.

 

     4)  Before  you  deliver  your  presentation  or  speech  to  people,  make  sure  you  have  analyzed  and  planned  specifically  what  they  will  be  getting  in  return  for  their  alliance  with  you.  It  could  be  some  promotional  tool,  some  percentage  incentive,  some  level  partnership,  some  boost  to  their  sales,  or  even  some  fixed  payment;  but  whatever  it  is,  be  precise  and  put  attention  to  detail,  and  most  importantly  make  sure  you  are  clear  on  your  purpose  to  create  value  for  them.  Like  I  said  before,  nobody  does  anything  for  free;  whether  emotional  or  mental  gain,  whether  material  or  spiritual  gain,  it  is  your  main  job  to  produce  the  best  exchange  in  your  mastermind  group  as  the  excellent  leader  you  need  to  be.  Extraordinary  success  calls  only  upon  extraordinary  people;  therefore,  you  must  breathe  and  live  this  each  day  with  your  whole  heart  and  with  your  whole  mind.

 

     5)  Engage  people  with  great  mastery  (believe  in  yourself,  in  the  unique  persona  beyond  your  intellect),  find  whatever  makes  you  unique  and  practice  it,  own  it  and  nourish  it,  even  if  you  do  not  think  is  attractive  enough.  See,  in  this  day  and  age,  people,  even  good  and  smart  people,  behave  like  drones,  live  in  fear  and  embarrassment  to  be  truly  unique,  always  reciting  ideas  and  speeches  from  memory  and  following  others  in  the  way  they  do  things;  however,  the  fact  stands  on  its  own,  if  you  are  to  innovate  or  propose  any  venture  at  all  towards  success,  then,  it  must  be  yours,  and  only  yours,  uniquely  you,  emotional  you,  your  very  presence,  your  very  energy,  and  make  it  loud  and  known  to  people.  This  is  how  you  stand  out  from  the  ordinary  crowd,  and  this  is  your  ticket  to  all  success  in  life—i.e.,  financial,  mental,  and  spiritual  success.  Never  be  afraid  to  emanate  your  spiritual  strength  and  emotional  power  onto  others,  because  unleashing  this  makes  you  truly  unique  and  worth  the  time  of  others,  because  unleashing  this  makes  you  powerful  and  valuable  in  a  society  which  really  lacks  uniqueness  and  originality. 

Furthermore,  you  want  to  spread  real  love  and  motivate  others  into  being  their  very  best??  There  is  only  one  authentic  way  to  do  it,  the  rest  is  just  the  illusion  of  the  ego  to  make  you  feel  good  about  yourself.  The  only  way  to  help  others  see  their  own  value  and  power  is  through  your  own  winning  attitude,  through  unleashing  your  own  energy,  and  through  being  really  proud  and  loud  and  celebrating  that  with  them  (because  this  process  is  highly  contagious, it elevates the human spirit).

th
Unlock and elevate the greatest human asset in business and in all other aspects of your life, the human spirit.  That is where the power to everything lies.

 

6)  Once  you  have  your  partners  or  people  joining  you,  or  interested  deeply  in  your  ideas,  you  must  arrange  to  meet  regularly  (whether  in  person,  by  phone,  by  mail,  or  by  social  network,  depends  on  your  business  and  situation).  But,  and  I  cannot  stress  this  enough,  whatever  your  situation  is  or  style  of  communication  in  the  new  relationship,  the  mastermind  process  has  to  be  based  on  harmony  and  profound  connection,  and  you  as  a  good  leader  must  build  very  powerful  emotional  content  at  a  slow  pace,  that  means  trust  and  value  through  time  and  effort;  and  that  is,  people  may  intellectually  agree  and  be  on  your  side,  but  it  is  not  intellect  what  moves  people  to  connect  deeply  and  work  passionately  (and  stay  on  a  definite  goal),  but  emotions  rule  over  intellect,  and  so  emotions  build  through  time  and  persistence.  Do  not  rush  deeper  emotional  connection,  for  the  greatest  and  most  meaningful  things  in  life  are  born  out  of  the  heart  and  not  out  of  the  intellect—i.e.,  the  intellect  is  an  important  tool  to  build,  yes,  but  the  heart  is  the  powerful  magic  which  creates  greatness  in  the  world. 

So,  ask  yourself,  “What  do  I  want  in  my  world—to  achieve  the  acceptable  or  to  achieve  true  greatness…??  If  your  answer  is  to  achieve  true  greatness,  then  do  not  rush  the  process  but  be  persistent  in  your  determination.  Remember,  whether  as  a  businessman  or  as  lover,  this  is  the  universal  rule  to  be  truly  great  and  extraordinary. 

 

7)  Since  at  this  time  you  have  already  committed  yourself  100%  upon  reaching  the  best  mastermind  to  success,  then  you  have  committed  yourself  100%  to  step  into  the  shoes  of  a  true  leader,  for  they  are  both  two  sides  of  the  same  coin;  for  this,  you  will  have  to  listen  and  acknowledge  the  ideas  and  enthusiasm  of  the  people  who  have  joined  you,  even  if  the  ideas  or  opinions  you  listen  to  are  not  highly  creative  or  specially  tailored  to  your  vision.  Never  dismiss,  ignore,  or  humiliate  someone’s  ideas  or  opinions;  because  this  is  one  of  the  big  reasons  why  people  never  truly  succeed,  why  there  are  divorces,  why  there  are  different  problems  in  the  world  today.  As  a  true  and  powerful  leader,  you  must  not  feed  your  ego  in  feeling  yourself  superior  in  any  way,  even  if  your  vision  and  ideas  are  great  and  your  talents  are  vast;  like  so,  a  true  and  powerful  leader  leads  others  to  feel  themselves  important  and  valued  within  the  scope  of  their  individual  capacities. 

In  my  own  experience,  I  have  learned  to  see  beyond  my  own  creative  talents,  beyond  my  own  ego,  to  understand  and  acknowledge  the  talents  of  others;  furthermore,  I  admit  this  is  a  constant  process  in  me,  not  that  easy  to  maintain,  but  if  you  want  others  to  feel  comfortable  around  you  and  work  by  your  side,  then,  there  is  no  other  way.  Human  beings  accomplish  more  and  greater  things  when  they  work  together  towards  the  same  goal.

Business mind.

Mastermind (PART 1)

“We come this way but once.  We can either tiptoe through life and hope we get to death without being badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams.”  – Bob Proctor; businessman, business consultant, and motivational speaker.


This is PART 1 of a short series of blogs on Mastermind  Leadership from a book I am writing, titled:  “Inner Wealth.  Outer Wealth.,” which deals with the spiritual, mental, and physical processes of all success achievement in life.

 

The  forces  behind  leadership  are  crucial  for  the development  of  the  passion  and  ambition  to  move  forward  with  your  heartfelt  desire  to  create  success,  including  a  business  venture  and/or  a  more  personal  growth.  Does  not  matter  the  intellect  and  even  creative  powers  you  have,  you  must  become  a  leader  and  build  mastermind  within  yourself  and  also  through  connecting  with  others  which  regard  passion  and  ambition  to  thrive  like  you;  in  this,  follow  that  wise  adage  that  goes,  “Two  heads  are  better  than  one”—i.e.,  two  minds,  or  three,  or  four,  certainly  can  create  and  resolve  more  than  one  can  in  your  path  to  success.

     You  will  need  structure  and  organization  of  your  ideas,  self-discipline  in  your  vision  of  what  you  want,  frame  it  and  own  it  in  your  mind  first,  you  need  to  see  it  and  experience  it  like  a  movie  in  your  mind  via  the  great  essence  of  your  imagination;  and  this  means  that  desire  will  not  be  enough,  for  desire  is  just  a  humble  start  and,  by  its  lonesome,  it  can  wane  or  lose  itself  in  the  distractions  of  everyday  life.  But  desire  may  turn  strong  and  powerful,  it  can  transmute  itself  into  the  material  realm  through  your  own  mastermind  and  sharpening  of  your  vision;  however,  baby  steps  will  make  sure  your  vision  is  realized,  careful  and  persistent  action  must  become  you  and  you  must  become  it. 

Two  steps  are  key  to  turn  desire  into  energetic  or  dynamic  action:

     1) First,  Individual  Mastermind,  or  its  elevated  process,  is  primarily  analytical,  belonging  to  and  within  your  own  mind  only,  the  detail  and  structure  of  your  mental  energies  to  create  the  image  and  steps  to  it  into  the  realm  of  the  material  form.

     2)  Following,  there  is  the  Collective  Mastermind,  such  which  belongs  to  a  group  seeking  the  same  intention  as  you,  and  its  process  is  all  about  further  design  of  that  vision  that  was  first  conceived  within  your  rich  mind,  and  it  is  also  about  the  organization  of  the  steps  to  take  to  fruition  based  on  the  different  views  and  knowledge  each  member  of  the  group  brings.

     In  order  to  fulfill  the  natural  desire  of  eating  a  specific  meal,  you  must  first  take  certain  steps  of  exact  analysis  in  your  mind,  steps  which  you  surely  take  speedily  and  without  much  effort;  thus,  you  visualize  the  food  you  want,  its  detailed  structure  and  the  experience  along  it,  then  you  must  search  in  your  memory  bank  if  this  food  item  is  something  you  have  already  at  home  or  if  you  have  to  visit  the  grocery  store  for  it.  Then  this  same  mental  energy  transmutes  itself  into  kinetic  energy,  and  either  you  go  to  your  kitchen  for  the  food  item  you  want  or  go  to  the  grocery  store. 

This  is,  obviously,  the  basic  example  of  mastermind  in  general,  and  one  has  to  respect  and  follow  all  the  steps  to  fruition  in  all  cases  while  ignoring  the  level  of  importance  they  may  present;  accordingly,  the  mental  process  is,  with  a  tweak  here  and  another  tweak  there,  basically  the  same  as  in  your  more  ambitious  ventures. 

     Both  mental  processes  start  with  conscious  energies  which  are  transmuted  into  kinetic  energies.  Both  mental  processes  have  a  strong  intention  which  needs  a  deliberate  action.  The  great  issue  here  is  the  commitment,  the  great  energy  quantity,  to  that  desire  to  afford  the  steps  of  mastermind;  because  the  commitment  to  food  is  not  the  same  as  the  commitment  to  professional  success,  or  the  great  quantity  of  energy  behind  satiating  your  desire  for  food  is  not  the  same  as  the  great  quantity  of  energy  behind  reaching  professional  success.  The  quantity  of  energy  you  accumulate,  enrich  and  process  for  longer  periods  of  time  will  determine  your  level  of  leadership;  ergo,  for  example,  going  to  the  grocery  store  or  making  this  determination  to  satiate  hunger  will  not  require  as  much  energy  as  building  your  way  to  professional  success,  and  so  true  leadership  is  found  in  the  latter  ambition.

     Leadership  is  the  association  of  energies  living  in  your  consciousness  to  self-discipline  your  mortal  mind  and  lead  your  absolute  focus  to  target  in  spite  of  space  and  time  anomalies.  The  value  of  leadership  brings  the  strength  and  structure  of  the  mastermind  you  need  to  develop  your  idea  from  thought-form  into  actual  dynamic  delivery,  and  this  entails  as  well  the  mastermind  alliance  with  other  people  which  carry  the  same  ambition  and  intention. 

mastermind_bubbles

Now,  this  group  or  team  (which  may  be  any  number  you  need)  will  require  you  to  pay  a  toll,  or  to  create  some  kind  of  value  for  them  to  join  you,  for  this  is  when  your  leadership  comes  into  play  by  connecting  you  to  your  environment,  by  the  very  process  of  bringing  out  the  value  you  have  created  within  yourself  (within  your  vision)  and  thus  developing  meaningful  relationships;  therefore,  nothing  is  for  free,  especially  in  the  road  to  success,  see  it  as  an  exchange  for  their  unity,  loyalty,  and  power  brought  to  your  passionate  cause.  This is your collective mastermind.


Tomorrow, PART 2 of Mastermind Leadership, specific guides or ways to creative mastermind within the group.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

The Best.

  The Best

 

As the deep and powerful reds of the sunset at first light

And the incredible moonlight tucking the dozy wink,

It fills the essence of my cells and mind with such delight,

It becomes my best thoughts and intentions as I deeply think.

 

Beyond the deluded starlight and ill impersonations of others,

It remains rebellious and unique in my gaze pure and profound;

Beyond the narrow highway of provocation of my brothers,

It increases in brilliance and wisdom far passed the earthbound.

 

I just need to feel that I am alive and swimming in the very bliss,

For my soul and heart knows I am here to conquer the untamed creature.

Life is both the field of truth and the narrow path bordering the abyss,

It can be the darkest night or the lightest day and greatest teacher.

 

The sights and sounds of the very day can be the sharpest knife,

The dreams and visions of the night can rob me of healthy rest;

But that is the great purpose of living the challenging life,

To find the truth behind all the hurts to finally become the best.

The human miracle.

There  are  only  two  ways  to  live  your  life.  One  is  as  though nothing  is  a  miracle.  The  other  is  as  if  everything  is.” ~ Albert  Einstein;  German-American  physicist.


The following is an excerpt of a book I just started writing, titled, “Inner Wealth!  Outer Wealth!”

 

The  brain  and  the  mind,  of  course,  are  two  very  different  things,  working  in  tandem  but  very  different  from  each  other;  but,  as  it  were,  the  ego’s  deceit  makes  it  look  like  they  are  one  and  the  same  (the  ever-nagging  duality  of  the  truly  mental  energies  and  the  basic  physical  ones),  because  that  is  how  most  people  experiences  this  phenomenon  on  a  daily routine—the  brain  emits  thoughts  and  this  is  the  mind,  plain  and  simple  this  is  the  common  belief  of  the  average  person. 

Now,  to  find  out  the  reality  we  must  delve  deeper  into  that  which  is  mental  science,  so  one  must  come  to  understand  that  thought  is  simply  a  physical  tool,  that’s it,  a  “dead”  object  itself—like  things  emerging  or  being  thrown  at  us  to  be  used  to  navigate  and  make  choices  in  our  daily  living—which  is  completely  mechanical,  crass,  base,  and  which  creates  from  the  past  and  the  future  because  it  lives  indeed  in  the  past  and  the  future.  Like  we  have  seen  before  this  chapter,  thought  is  just  a  reflection  of  our  physical  senses  on  the  outside  environment,  obviously,  to  sense  our  way  in  this  material  universe;  and  this  is  why  thought  is  mechanical  and  base,  objective  and  dualistic  in  nature,  always  changing  and  obsessive  if  maintained  unruly,  for  the  mentioned  reason  that  it  acts  upon  what  the  physical  senses  receive  or  gather  from  the  outer  world,  the  ever-changing  environment,  and  so  thought  in  our  conscious  mind  is  an  entity  which  is  physical  itself  and  subject  to  all  change.

Having  established  that  premise,  for  thought  to  be  born  and  emerge  within  the  physical  brain,  via  electric  signals  and  chemicals,  there  has  to  be  “space”  for  it  to  flow  unencumbered,  a  space  in  which  it  can  gravitate  and  expand  if  it  shall  become  a  thought  we  may  choose  to  officiate,  perhaps  a  vast  grid  where  it  swims  and  it  flourishes  and  ferments  (a  field-stream  where  the  seed  or  thought  can  germinate  richly)  to  create  great  ideas  to  thus  move  our  life  forward,  to  innovate  our  unique  craft,  to  weave  inspirational  stories  from  the  past  and  mold  our  future,  and  to  finally  bestow  upon  life  schemes  of  love  or  hatred.

This  vast  grid  or  space  in  which  thought  can  emerge  and  manifest,  as  an  idea  that  grows  and  grows,  is  the  mighty  but  misused  human  mind;  so,  as  one  can  easily  tell  by  now,  thoughts  are  like  ripples  or  waves,  and  the  mind  is  like  the  ocean. 

108eebdd3117803856fe06081baff36c

The  human  brain  then  acts  as  a  receiving  and  also  signaling  antenna  for  energy  patterns  residing  within  the  mind  itself,  which  exist  as  consciousness  conveyed  in  the  physical  form  of  thought.  Thoughts  are  not  created  out  of  nothing  and  not  only  out  of  our  own  physical  senses,  but  they  are  “dead”  objects  flowing  in  and  out  of  this  vast  grid—such  being  a  grid  of  in-formation  and  energy  fields  known  to  science  as  Attractors.  Thoughts  are  then  constantly  flowing  when  the  conscious  mind  is  on  (when  one  is  awake)—i.e.,  your  thoughts,  my  thoughts,  everybody  else’s  thoughts  swimming  in  this  vast  grid  or  ocean—but  arranged  to  each  Attractor  or  energy  field—i.e.,  my  energy  field,  your  energy  field,  etc.  etc.

But,  however  personal  these  thoughts  flowing  to,  and  within,  each  Attractor  Field  are,  still,  people  quite  often  might  pick  up  the  thoughts  of   somebody  else  since,  like  above-mentioned,  the  brain  acts  as  a  receiving  and  signaling  antenna  and  this  antenna,  depending  on  how  powerful  it  is,  does  not  discriminate  among  different  signals  that  might  cross  the  individual  Attractor  Field.

Needless  to  say,  our  individual  brain  receives  the  thought,  molds  it  to  our  own physical  senses,  computes  the  new  information  gathered  and  creates  our  unique  perspective.

For  example,  a  great  artist  in  one  side  of  the  world  has  access  to  an  inspiring  idea,  in  the  form  of  raw  energy,  to  create  a  wonderful  masterpiece,  and  that  same  idea  is  also  available  to  be  picked  up  from  this  grid  by  the  brain  of  a  janitor  living  on  the  other  side  of  the  world;  however,  the  difference  here  is  that  the  physical  and  mechanical  brain  of  the  artist  has  been  conditioned  and  strengthened  for  years  in  creativity  and  innovation  through  self-discipline  (could  be  more  grey  matter  formed,  more  neural  connections  in  the  physical  brain,  etc.)  to  receive  this  grand  signal  he  will  turn  into  a  great  idea,  but  the  janitor’s  brain  is  not  prepared  to  receive  this  signal  (could  be  not  enough  knowledge  of  the  craft,  less  neural  connections,  polluted  brain  by  drugs  or  unhealthy  foods  or  poisons  of  any  kind,  etc.)  thus  he  will  not  access  this  mental  energy.

Of  course,  this  is  just  an  example  and  in  no  way  I  mean  to  say  that  a  janitor  couldn’t  achieve  great  accomplishments  as  the  artist;  even  so,  the  message  here  is  clear,  that  preparing  the  brain  through  self-discipline,  for  as  long  as  it  takes,  is  all  there  is  to  access  these  wonderful,  raw  energies  of  mental  origin. 

The  molding,  shaping,  and  managing  of  these  energies  create  genius  as  we  know  it  in  our  human  society.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

The most important choice.

 

The most important choice still is yours to make,

To reach all great success and happiness in life,

Is not confined to your voice or to the action you take,

But it is in the magic beyond all strife.

 

Some choose good looks and some skills for sport,

Some choose vast wealth and some a sense of duty;

But I enjoy powerful imagination and all that sort,

You know me, all my being is about creating beauty.

 

Which one of those would you choose before birth…??

Good looks are fine but may increase your self-admiration.

Skills for sport are great but limited to this earth.

Vast wealth does not work for me, I want spiritual elevation.

 

See, I wanted all, so I fought like a lion before birth for this:

I fought for unlimited imagination because it is the greatest power,

Our very existence and the natural magic which creates all bliss,

The deep sea, the intensity of the skies, the blooming of the flower.

The free mind of a human god!

The substance of the unique.

“The speaker is not important at all; what is important is for you to find out these things for yourself, so that you are free and not second-hand human beings.  You must look to find out, to find out whether or not it is possible for the mind to be completely and totally free of this violence, pride and arrogance, and so come upon a different quality altogether.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; philosopher, public speaker and writer.


 

     Human society, because of fear and confusion and the overall ignorance of the intellectual and limited ego, has created a myriad of institutions and philosophies to a false sense of freedom and security–i.e., religions and the blasphemous divine authority given to  its mediocre men, governments with no real human values and equality for all, business enterprises which only seek to grow richer and more powerful sacrificing the health and suffering of the poor bastards who buy their products, the military which promotes greed of power and vast death of human beings dressed in elegant suits of patriotic pride and noble pursuits of human growth, and so on and so forth.

And through all this ordeal there is the mind of the ordinary, everyday man, which not only sees freedom and security in all this nonsense but also finds a false sense of human individual and collective growth; however, this is the grand crystal illusion of society which prevents all freedom and peace from ever growing, and, most importantly, which veils the truth, distances the truth and distorts facts.  Freedom and love, all peace and individuality of expression is found within you, literally within you, and the illusion is that people follow these institutions like their masters and expect to find all harmony in the world by looking for it on the outside.  The world, the universe, the whole cosmos, was created from the inside of the entity essence of THE ALL, nothing was ever created from without.  The plants are born from the seed within the earth, not from without.  So, why would anybody that believes himself intelligent and rational look for peace and freedom, for love and security outside of himself…?? 

wisdomspiritual

     See, the core problem here is not that people look for these things on the outside, but it is that they truly believe this is the solution to all the problems in their lives; so, people look for real love in relationships with somebody else, people look for guidance in politicians which offer a good speech and a good personality, people look for their own value and identity in what they do, people follow the rich like they are full of wisdom and as role models to a better persona, etc.

As human beings we must understand that which is intelligent and rational for our own unique development, that to follow others and fall in their nice traps, it does not matter how nice they are and how good-intentioned they may seem to you, creates a distance between your mind and your heart, or between your intellect and your strong spirit of intuition.  This is conducive to wreaking chaos and all distress in your mind, in your views of yourself and your life, because you have been created from the center of your being, from your heart, the very seed of your existent organism, from that essence which is within the very core of your cellular make-up; so, to believe you will find all you need outside of yourself by following others and expecting others to guide you is literally madness, which is, obviously, why the world is what you see today.

     Let intuition guide you and strengthen you by eliminating the fear and confusion of your mind, but first make sure you have quieted your thoughts by not listening to others and so reacting to what they say and think; so, make sure you are well-disciplined in this, because a mind that is rogue and volatile covers the whisper of all intuition.

Interview With The Alchemist.

robert-anton-wilson-robert-anton-wilson-when-the-rose-and-the-cross

…Did you ever love me…??  Do you love me now…??  Of  course you do; you were always there for me, I just did not realize it at the time… too self-involved… too busy obeying the demands of the lower beast dwelling in me.  But I wonder if you knew.  Or if I knew.  But I’m sure I did; I mean I was there, experiencing, living my own sudden reactions of hate and love.  Alchemy was hidden, wasn’t it…??  And love sounded prissy, maybe weak, even overrated perhaps…  It just wasn’t enough for me, and it was not the main discussion among my “friends” either; no, it was all about the latest tech app and Hollywood movie out there, the pitiful game of immature relationships and the greed for money.  No, it was in me, this higher alchemy, this higher love and understanding of myself, of others, and of life, but I chose to ignore it and put a concrete wall between us, shielding me from… from me really… from the Higher me…

Ha–  It’s funny, really odd as well, like I was here before, like I had the same train of thought before; so, get this, as I sit here thinking about this a kind of déjà vu seems to overwhelm each cell of my being, veiled and still unclear past memories keep sort of flooding me, making me feel… I don’t know… intense, full of understanding, powerful in a way, almost like I can fly…  But I never flown before, I was confined to the lower perception of myself, and quite disrespectful of myself, distant from the true self-acceptance and confidence radiating through me now.  Yes, I was blind back then, I wouldn’t see people and accept people, see myself and accept myself; I would only see and experience the illusion of the everyday nuisance, these false identities and values in the popularity and wealth from TV celebrities, the lies of politics, the robotic activities of a zombie society, and my own interpretation of love and that misguided interpretation the world has of it.

It was knowledge of the Higher Intelligence flowing through me.  The Great Eternal Mind!  They call it that in our fields of Mental Science, in the Alchemical Labs of the mind of the Higher-Thinking Man…  Yes, absolutely, gnosis did it.  The knowledge increased the understanding within me and pushed wisdom where I could experience it, where my monkey thoughts would be silenced and put aside so I could open my eyes to what I couldn’t see before.

…But, wait, why didn’t you leave me…??  Why did you stick around…??  You could have left, because I neglected you for more than three decades and I even buried you under dark thoughts of lust and anger and under behaviors of ignorance and disdain for myself and others.  …Love again, wasn’t it?  But–But is more than just love what we share, it is the true Essence of Creation itself, it is the original formula of self-transformation, like a constant experience of bliss, and not just the emotional roller coaster of pleasure of human love…  And my family, my friends, people I know, are not there yet; they see me a little askew, cannot process this whole transformation, this deeper understanding of the invisible which has awakened within me, and the fact is they may never get there, they may never experience this bliss, this higher awareness which makes all depression and irrelevance in the world melt away…  It is the tough truth of the universe, you taught me that.  “The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding”–as it goes.

But my love for them has grown even stronger now, because I understand all they think and experience, all their reactions and beliefs, at a deeper level.  It is like that time I got stuck for a while on the top of the fair ride, where the roller coaster cart held me really high and I could see the whole fair park from this elevation–the people walking around eating greedily their cotton candies looked so tiny in the crowd, following the path taken by others and absorbed in the pleasures of the day, looking up at me and wondering why I was there and why I wasn’t with them.  Clouds above, blue sky around me, cool breeze of altitude caressing me and my new thoughts.  I was closer to heaven back then, but did not know it.  But now I do.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

Samadhi

 


“SAMADHI”

The divine darkness of my mind ripples and flows,
Never-ending vastness, eternal ocean of the Soul,
Such universe of universes and portal into Brahman,
Which does not represent a past or a future itself,
Which does not divide and conquer my foes of old,
Where the pendulum of pleasure and pain vanishes,
Where happiness and depression has no meaning.
And there is no wake or sleep, no movement or stillness,
No delusion of ill thought and roused emotion;
However the smoothness and the dynamic ether,
It is just the allowance of being of what is being,
The essence of freedom and liberation from hues,
From forms, from comparison, from symmetry,
From the chains of lone-perception and trick-belief.

The most profound recesses of my mind fall into Brahman,
Such God be the eternal ocean of the Atman, the Soul,
Like raindrops into the vastest ocean, one is all, all is one;
By branching out the mind touches one drop of the ocean,
And the ocean be me for there is no body-mind, two are one.
The ego cannot poison the waters, it cannot soil the existence.
But the unity is light and yet it has no qualities of light as such.
But the darkness is the light and they are no opposites.
Where is the world of man…??  Where is the misery of man…??
Where is the aging universe…??  And who took it away…??
What has happened to my beliefs, preoccupations, needs…??
All the worries and illnesses have become one with me,
There lies no reserve or disorder, no confusion or riot within;
I have been revived into undying peace, which is Real Love
Beyond the senses of man, beyond such Mara the Tempter.
This is what they call the ultimate reality!  Ultimate beauty
Far beyond the known thoughts, emotions, and actions of man!

Here is Brahman, of no time and space, of no dogma and creed,
Endless joy and peace which has given ability to a body-mind
To know Being, to see beyond the illusion of the senses.
Nothing is separate from me and nothing can affect me,
The illumined no longer sees the limitation, the end,
This mystical wisdom feeds me and fattens me, the Real Me.
But I must return to consciousness of the objective dual now,
Knowing that this is just an appearance, a glove of The Infinite,
A form of thought and emotion to swim these unreal waters
And to experience the lessons of pleasure and pain of illusion.

Stories to ponder.

Hell on Earth!

…The  morphing shapes  were  many as  they  trailed behind  the  ominous shadows  of  the  tunnel,  they squiggled  and  portended what  could  be held  for  them; and  they  maintained a  steady  pace, together  in  a line,  believing  in themselves  and  keeping to  their  wits.  And  as  they  kept  moving  forth, background  screams,  machine guns  and  explosions blasted  the  stagnant air  of  the underground;  but,  however, they  did  not waver  or  halt pace.

And they  encountered  voices and  echoes,  most of  them  making  no  sense  to them.  And  they  heard  cackles  and shuffles,  both  nigh and  distant.  And there  was  not  any  normalcy,  logic  or  sanity  in what  reached  their ears.  But  they knew.   They  knew something  was  coming and  they  had to  be  prepared for  the  worst!

The dilapidated  and  rusty handrail  attached  to the  tunnel’s  wall,  then  shook  abruptly and  wouldn’t  stop!  Something  was  definitely afoot.  The  air  rippled  around  them!  Pockets  bloated  the  space  among  them!  Blop–  Blop–  Blop– The  liquid  sludge  next  to them  carried  splashes  and  currents  like  someone  heavy  quickly approached!

And  so  it  happened  that  they  witnessed  a  fairly  distant  light,  and  this  light  was  bright  and  powerful,  and  it  emanated  a  subtle  yet magnetic  pull  that  rippled  the  air and  caused  the  tunnel  to  seem  smaller  and  daunting.  And  they  understood what  this  light  was,  even  though it  was  the  sole  meaning  that  ripped  the  very  core  of  their  fear.

It  was  obvious  this  was  their  main  way  out—as  in  the demon’s  route  out of  Hell!—and  that  is  why  they  were  here  searching  for  them.  They  had  to  seal  this  portal.  They  had  to  succeed.  Otherwise,  chances  were  grim.  Very  grim.  Final,  in  fact.  And  the  risk  was  high,  for  this  wasn’t  a  normal  scenario  by  any  means.  This  was  the  big  leagues.  And  the  time  to  act  was  now.  See,  for  centuries  this  threat  to  humans  had  been  averted,  not  given  any  thought  whatsoever;  oceans  were  calm,  earth  was  stable,  God  watched  over  us,  Satan  tempted  us,  man  reigned  his  own  territory  and  progressed  as  per  own  choice  and  own  will.  But  now  things  were  chaotic,  and  called  for  a  more  substantial/abrupt  approach.  The  Gates  of  Hell  had  been  opened,  and  they  had  to  be  shut.  They  had  to  be  locked.

So  as  this  went  on  with  might,  they  stopped  pace!—  Suspense  climbed  and  razor-sharp  fear  started  to  creep  up  their  spines.  The  core  of  the  mentioned  light  exploded  in  front  of  them!

“Umm.  Gu—Guys,  what  is  going on?”  Kristin  drawled  in  between  grinding  teeth.  “Who—??  Or what—??”

Raphael  and  Praopethuss  kept  vigil,  eyes  following  every  potential  subtleness  in  the  stagnant  air.

“Shhh,”  shushed  Jimmy.  “Gimme  your  hand.  They’re  coming.”

“Who’s  coming?”  She  was  gripping  his  hand  as  hard  as  she  could.

STOMP!  STOMP! STOMP!

“Jimmy,  make it  visual  for us,”  Raphael  said.

Jimmy  struggled  to  loosen  the  grip  she  had  on  his  hand,  then  proceeded  forward.  “Okay.  I’ll  see  what  I  can do.”

STOMP!  Jimmy  stepped  in  front  of  the  group,  sensed  his  surroundings,  knelt,  and  began  physical  contact  with  the  eerie  tunnel.  STOMP!  His  mental  connection  quickly  surged  through  his  arm,  out  his  hand  and  into  the  ground—it  covered  a  large  patch  and  made  it  tremble  slightly,  then  it  interlaced  and  mixed  with  the  air,  it  cleared  simple  view  and  checked  for  any  constructs  in  it.  Ripples  exploded  in  small  gusts  of  air.  But  they  saw  nothing  alarming,  not  any  hidden  demons  or  constructs.  STOMP! STOMP!  But  something  kept  coming,  nonetheless.

10408823_792520124143789_4984299609972296917_n

“Sorry.  Nothing,”  he  added.

STOMP!  STOMP!  STOMP!  STOMP!—

“Keep  your  guard!”  Praopethuss  shouted.

And  the  air  vibrated  slightly  and  the ripples  kept  surrounding them.  Thus,  it  grew  and  grew.  And  seconds  gripped the  nerves…

. . .

STOMP!  STOMP!  STOMP  STOMP!—  It  kept  coming  and  echoing  louder  and  louder,  stronger  and  stronger  until  they  saw  the  humongous  shapes  and  silhouettes  that  sent  chills  to  their  spines  and  electricity  to  the  back  of  their  necks.  They  were  humanoid-looking  beasts  of  fairly  large  size  each!  They  came  at  them  like  a  pack  of  wolves  at  the  very  sight  of  their  blocking  stance!  They  wouldn’t  budge—and  so  it  felt  like  the  clash  of  titans  right  in  the  putrid  tunnels  had  started!

They  carried  their  sharp  claws  and  agility,  superhuman  strength  and  concentrated  evil.  Taking  advantage  of  it,  two  of  them  quickly  had  leapt  and  were  now  ferociously  attached  to  the wall  like  slimy  slugs;  and  their growling-and-harsh  sounds  were  piercing and  intimidating,  but,  as  it  were,  they  would  not  cause  an emotional  determent  in Raphael  and  his  Sentients.

1509144_792521430810325_3804746315006961394_n

They  drooled  and  emanated  a  foul  stench  that  increased  sickness  and  terror,  their  physical  moves  were  calculated  and  unexpected,  and  they  came  up  the  liquid  sludge  as  well  as  directly  in  the  path  they  were  currently  on.  These  demons  and  Hell  creatures,  Raphael  and  the  rest  knew,  had  come  out  of  the  bright  light,  the  portal  connected  to  Earth  directly  in  the  sewers.

And  one  of  them  came  rushing  atop  Jimmy!  Sluussshhh-Sttaaack!!  Its  slime  was  overpowering  and  disgusting,  and  Jimmy  felt  bathed  by  it,  almost  swallowed  by  it.  “Get him off me!  Get him off me!”  He  tried  setting  himself  free,  writhing  and  punching  at  the  beast,  but  its  tentacles  were  too  strong,  fairly  sticky  and  full  of  mucosa.

Kristin  and  Raphael  fought  ferociously  to  disentangle  Jimmy  and  free  him  from  the  hideous-looking  creature,  but  to  avail  of  nothing.

“Guys,  look!”  Praopethuss  pointed  out  in  back  of  him.  “Over  there!—”

Through  the  darkness  of  the  smelly  tunnel,  in  between  the  splashing  of  beasts  and  the  measurement  of  the  chaos,  someone  came  running  and  jumping  from  the  tubing  attached  to  the  sewer’s  domed  ceiling—a  familiar  shape,  a  light  of  hope  at  that  exact  moment.   And  so  Johnny  came  dashing  and  leaping,  averting  demons,  and  monkey-bar-dangling  with  perfect  precision.  He  was  so  precise  and  fast  with  his  punches  and  dagger  thrusts  that  he  annihilated  the  mentioned  Hell  perpetrators  on  the  spot.

10354221_792522420810226_9004974806371313927_n

Johnny  landed  right  next  to  Jimmy  and  the  slimy  creature,  then  pierced  the  blade  firmly  into  it.  “That’s  my  brother,  you  Hell  Spawn!”  A  powerful  light  filled  the  creature  and  it  began  to  crack  like  porcelain!  Then  there  was  a  sudden  burst  of  juices  and  gelatin-like  flesh  and  innards  that  ejected  all  over them!

10013524_792524930809975_3561931414389878401_n

Jimmy  could  now  barely  see  through  the  light  but  heavy  skin  of  gelatin-like  substance.  “Damn.  Johnny,  that  was,  um,  that  was  quite  an  epic  entrance.”  His  hands  wiped  off  the crap  from  his  eyes.  “…And  thanks.”

“You’re  welcome, bro,”  he  said  behind  a  grin.  “Now,  let’s  give  them  the  kinda  hell  they  came  here  for.”

“Good  to  have  you  back,”  Raphael  stated.

The  monsters  were  now  attacking  from  everywhere  and  anywhere,  and  the  team  was  firmly  standing  their  ground;  loud  shrieking  and  overwhelming  screaming  were  now  tearing  up  the  air  around  them,  sending  pure  adrenaline  into  their  bloodstream.  And  so  these monsters  were  leaping  violently  atop  them.  They  averted  their  jumps  and  thrusts.  Johnny  managed  to  pierce  many  of  them  using  his  trusty  and  powerful  dagger—which  would  cause  its  victims  to  bleed  to  death  instantly!

10645289_792526000809868_5732341162694787147_n

And  there  were  blinding  explosions  and  light  that  shielded  the  beasts’  attacks,  for  Raphael  and  the  rest  used  great  power  and  strength  from  their  inner  auras;  and  Johnny  would  block  their  hell-raising  wrath  with  the  mighty  dagger,  which  continuously  would  pulse  and  emit  powerful  and sizzling  light…

Business mind.

The one with all.

“You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful.  It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.”  ~ Wallace D. Wattles; American author and New Thought writer.


 

When choosing your greatest desire make sure it assimilates the nobility and incredible power of life inside you; that rigorous selection, and only that, may give you the strength and burning passion you need to reach success without fearing the obstacles and falling prey of the distractions in the path ahead.  This is absolutely paramount for us to understand when we initiate the process of choosing the right and most important desire, because if we have in mind that life itself is success and also the greatest desire of existential growth, then we will choose that very desire which is brilliance in the path to our goals but also challenging to our minds’ development as life itself, the greatest teacher, is to each of us.
See, the problem with most people’s desires is that they have only superficial and known glamour which do not go beyond simple imagination, and hence have no uniqueness and warrior spirit in themselves.  People watches TV and want to be the successful businessman or famed actor, people reads popular magazines and want that car or that amount of cash, people praises leaders in the economy and politics of our society and they feel they can follow them and learn to lead like them, people see great houses and cars and boats and wishes to possess that same luxury, people hear of great science and/or spiritual educators and they follow them and read their books religiously to gain their wisdom and reach their level of mastery.

But, you tell me, where is the uniqueness and the creativity of a powerful and inspiring desire in that..??  Where is the incredibly magnificent design of life’s ultimate desire in that…??
No, it is not to be.  That is shallow and mediocre, dull-witted and crude, the spawn of a lazy and selfish mind which only sees itself and its ego possessing riches and knowledge without a unique, inner identity to advocate mankind’s higher growth and purpose.
And mankind’s higher growth and purpose is not what the asleep and unperceptive society dictates, and it is definitely not the soulless consumerism you watch on TV, read in magazines, or hear on the radio; however, I do understand the tremendous mind control and emotional hold these “fashionable” media sources wield upon the weak minds of the pitiable masses, but I also see beyond the misleading façade of these thieves of all reason and healthy encouragement, and I experience in myself the incredible greatness and potentiality of all mankind well past what the misleading physical senses tell me every day.

 

business-success
Remember this higher law of the universe, that the true and higher living is indeed life, and this life is success; on the opposite, the law of the lower ego in man deceives thus, that the lazy and selfish living is life, and this life is success.  Now, meditate on them, choose between the two, and do what truly elevates your spirit and makes you into a better man for the sake of all mankind.
You see, growing a true and spiritually elevating desire to better yourself, your life, and your loved ones, is the key to motivate yourself and surround your heart with a burning passion so great which cannot be extinguished by nothing at all.  Now, this is especially true for the acquisition of material riches, because in the faithful pursuit of these your heart has to be in it with a burning passion which surpasses all fear and indecisiveness within your dual mind.
The deepest desire of growing economically has to be built upon the greatest and most noble foundation humankind may yet reach from within itself, which is in fact spiritual foundation due to the origin of divinity and perfect life the mortal body and dual thought lack; consequently, the noble and honest desire for riches and economic abundance in your life must be originated and sustained by the spiritual motivation/fuel of reaching your higher self, and thus not based on the competitor ego which deceives the human mind into believing that wealth has to be attained by means of aggressive and selfish nature.
Life in its true essence beyond this physical realm is an active DESIRE of dynamic evolution, a self-motivated engine moving ever forward, energies of creativity and conscious awareness of themselves as all corporeal existence is brought into being, then the most beautiful and perfect dance throughout itself and designer of all space and time; for this reason, the desire in man to obtain riches and a prosperous life is something natural and good if the mind in question is under the right impressions and guided by wisdom.  The natural desire born in man to have wealth is not something to feel ashamed of, run away from, or even loathe, as many religions and “spiritual” people seem to believe and self-righteously condemn in other men.
Isn’t it pathetic and hypocritical that many religions of the world express great disapproval, and even hellish denouncement, of the pursuit of wealth while the same institutions take billions of dollars from their blind followers to build hugely massive and pompously luxurious places to worship their blasphemous nonsense and feed those obtuse egos they have…??  They make billions each year and pay no taxes, gloat and teach about the virtuous pursuit of a common life with no riches whatsoever, and all this while millions of people around the world suffer extreme poverty and starvation under conditions which are gravely inhumane and that of the lowest creature existing under God’s shining Sun.
Human beings are meant to obtain growth, not only spiritually but economically as well, because that is what the essence of life itself is, unlimited and powerful growth.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in achieving material riches is absolutely weak and wrong.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in reaching spiritual growth is narrow-minded and obtuse.  The two pursuits shall go together in order to be and feel whole, the spiritual and physical beings we are.  We are dual beings and as long as we have a body and a flawed mind we shall be that, no matter the enlightenment or the status in society.

We need to embrace what we are and what we need in this life.  No wise man can lead a full life either only spiritually or only materially.  The wise sage finds the balance in the pursuit of both.
Economic growth must be seen as something noble and good because it adds to a better life, a freedom’s advocate; but the spirit and mind have to grow with it, lest we become monsters which remain enslaved to our own physical senses and commanding ego.  The same goes for spiritual growth.  They both need to find balance in order for the mind of man to reach spiritual, and also human, freedom and bliss.
