Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

Hostage.

“We are dying from over thinking.  We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything.  Think.  Think.  Think.  You can never trust the human mind anyway.  It’s a death trap.”  ~ Anthony Hopkins; Welsh film, stage, and television actor.


“The head thinks.  The heart knows.”  ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru; British life coach, speaker, and motivational author.



“The mind is everything,” Buddha says. And that means that whatever you experience and whatever happens in your life is the influence and creation of your own mind.

We have been given a mortal mind to experience this physical life, and so without a mind this is impossible.  Your mind makes the world, it allows you to physically exist in the world and interact with it every day.

conscious_universe436_01

But often one tends to believe and trust that the mind should always be in use, when this is rather the opposite of the purpose of life; even though the mind is everything, it is everything physical, but in order to embrace true happiness in life you must trust that which is not physical or which goes beyond it.

For example, the true essence of what we call love is not physical, and you can never find love in buying things, or in having sex, or in getting married, or in enjoying a conversation; these things are ways of connecting with the physical world, but true love goes beyond all these.

In the same sense, you must allow yourself love to flourish within you by not putting all your time and effort on your mind, on your ego.  Stop overthinking, living in your head, becoming obsessed with thinking and following thought, because this process poisons you and distances you from the pure heart, from self-love, from God.

Overthinking is praising your own thoughts, it is allowing your thoughts, whether positive or negative, to shape your persona and rule your life, create your present and your future.  Accepting life, however, is keeping yourself calmed under stress and also guiding yourself through obstacles and challenges to always come out wiser and successful; and so, to keep yourself calmed under duress, you must connect with your pure heart and silence your nagging mind, your obsessed ego.


Know that the mind, as important as it can be, is just a tool for the physical; therefore, there is more beyond this and you have to embrace it in order to spread love and peace within yourself, because overthinking is the opposite of spreading love and peace within you.

Source of The Universe.

“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet.”  ~ Miyamoto Musashi; expert Japanese swordsman, rōnin, and author.


“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”  ~ Thomas Szasz; Hungarian-American academic, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst.



So, one discovers, knows, and embraces one’s own strength only if the mind is not agitated.  But what is this mean exactly…??  Do you know what drives the human being into great acts…??  Do you know why most people are decent people but they never create greatness in their lives…??  Do you know where the cosmic secret beyond time and space lies…??

th
The world moves forth and most people sees this without a deeper thought, but, no matter how nice and loving they can be, they are not awake enough to understand that the world only is what it is and moves forth the way it moves forth because of the inner state of each human being–i.e., not because of animals, no because of trees, but because of human beings.

And whoever is not awake enough to understand this, believes that whatever they think and do does not really affect the world around them, so they start believing that what they need to create a better world is outside of them.

So, their minds are neglected, the ego takes over, and the world suffers because of that mediocrity, most of the time from well-intentioned people.


But the human race has been given higher intelligence over other sentient beings for a reason, not just to increase an ego which seeks the truth on the outside; therefore, that reason is the management of our higher thinking tools to inquire within ourselves, meditate, discover the essence of Life itself and The Great Creation within–no other being on Earth has been given self-awareness like this.

Because all the world around you is a mere reflection or a perfect hologram of the real pattern which lies within you.

interpersonal-ppt-journey-into-self-awareness-6-638

Furthermore, it might be difficult to find time to think about who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our drives and personalities, our habits and values.   And even when personal feedback is presented to us, we’re not always open to it, because honest feedback isn’t always flattering; consequently, many people has a pretty low level of self-awareness.  But self-awareness can improve your judgment and help us identify opportunities for professional development and personal growth.  And so, what is more important than self-love, than improving yourself…??

Self-awareness is the power of introspection and reflection the world needs right now and always will, it is what your life needs.  And because your own happiness and a great life is created from within you, then you must take time to inquire within yourself and find out your reaction motives and meditate on your reason and logic of beliefs and thoughts, find out every day why you act and see life the way you see it, project yourself outside of your own mind and feel what other people feels and thinks, study the human psychology and behavioral patterns of the world.  This will give you the powerful insight into your human spirit and into life’s greatest secrets.


Stop seeking where to lean, the truth, love, peace, happiness, support, beliefs, company, on the outside; for, to discover all this, you must go to the source of the Universe and of Life itself, and that is you.

Then, with this truth to all, you create your life and the world.\

Rise of The Gods.

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.”  ~ Earl Nightingale; American radio speaker, and self-help author.


“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”  ~ Abraham Maslow; American pioneer psychologist and professor.


 

This physical life is a beautiful succession of still photographs, and to find yourself and really embrace life at its fullest you must live in the moment, enjoy each moment, allow your attention to be on each moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant situations, do not escape but be there; however, because our human spirit needs to be allowed by our humanity to have outlets, to express itself freely, we, as human beings, need to rule over our egoistical and lazy minds and develop talents and skills in which we feel the passion and freedom coursing through our veins.

6863_20121103_111525_407632_343212045775236_294920062_n[1]

To free yourself, your spirit, to embrace true and constant happiness in your life, you must have a plan or vision of what is most important for you, a goal which helps you wake up each morning happy to be alive and working towards something heartfelt and noble; but, opposite to this, you cannot live each moment just hoping for the best and allowing your mind and the situations surrounding you to lead you randomly forward, for only you are meant to create and rule in your own life–i.e., not your ego, not your family, not society, but you and only you.

 

If you are not waking up each morning and loving every second of your life, breathing in and watching yourself get better and better in the development of your skills and talents, then you will not be able to free your human spirit from the bondage of a lazy and stressful ego, thus you will not experience the true essence of happiness which starts with self-love.

 

This self-development is all about your internal state, this is not about your country, culture, or your current financial condition; therefore, you could live on the streets or inside a very humble abode, but there is always something to improve in yourself–kindness, a deeper emotional connection with yourself, the planning of a future through planning strategies for a business, working on writing stories to develop imagination, drawing, mastering a certain topic to publish a book, selling something you make, etc. etc.

The goal here is not fame or fortune, but it is to train your mind to move forward and to create something that you keep dear to your heart, because in this way you free your human spirit and let it soar to new experiences, to new heights.
Remind yourself of this every single day.

Under the moon.

“Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other.”  ~ Olive Schreiner; South African author, anti-war campaigner and intellectual.


Under The Moon

Our hearts dance Under The Moon so bright,
Angels sing as we hold each other tight,
Enjoying the experience of the eternal moment,
Two best friends and two lovers without comment;
Our eyes communicate what our mouths cannot utter,
Our ears listen to the sweet music of the river’s flutter.

Up into the mountains and away from the crowds,
Staring up into the heavens with no clouds,
We came through the path full of tree leaves,
Crossed the valley and passed the farm’s sheaves;
Seeing the open skies Under The Moon,
We sat upon the heart-shaped trunk hewn.

Blood within us boils as our hands gently touch,
For we connect in great measure so much,
For there are no words to describe our care,
The feeling so magical like walking on air.
And Under The Moon we become one soul,
Love shines through from within us as the goal.

~ Asa.

Invincible.

“There are no contests in the Art of Peace.  A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing.  Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.”  ~ Morihei Ueshiba.


“When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death.  A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Peace.”  ~ Morihei Ueshiba; Japanese martial artist and founder of the Japanese martial art of aikido.



The way of the sage is the way of the warrior, and the way of the warrior is acceptance and mental clarity in his own life; but there cannot exist true acceptance and absolute mental clarity if the mind of that warrior is filled with beliefs and an ego which is not tamed, unruly and rebellious, designing all kinds of emotional schemes and heated states of mind.  This soon becomes the hell of the ordinary mind.

244939761-Wise-Quotes-44004-statusmind_com

Peace brings a state of clarity and joy to the mind wherever it goes and in any situation, and this precisely heightens that same mind into a constant condition of harmony within the real self.

The opportunities of human growth in the intellectual, spiritual, and economical aspects seem to appear in our midst when there is a deeper connection to the wisdom of mental clarity; and so ideas and strategies appear in consciousness making the mind rich and useful.  This is the higher awareness of the superior mind.

Man’s task is to raise himself above the ordinary mind full of beliefs and traditions, selfish desires and appetites, by increasing his own awareness of self and by meditating upon a clearer mind–this is done by process of emptying the ordinary mind from books and religious nonsense, philosophical stands and rebellious ideas, selfish appetites and egoistical daily lies, etc. etc.

 

If you have a clear and focused mind with a vision, then all fear and anger, anxiety and frustration, dissipates, because the human mind allows your experience to be where your attention is; so, if your attention is on possible failure and in the difficulties of a challenge, then your mind will make you experience fear, all anxiety and frustration; but if your attention is on success and on the commitment to strategy each moment, then your mind will make you experience confidence and the positive attitude and thinking that your new winning perspective takes–and this feeling will overtake your whole body and drive you forth.

 

Most people tend to pay attention to the writings and words of others, without actually thinking that each mind is unique, and that each life and path to success is unique.  If you try then to copy the journey of others, whether these others have achieved greatness or not, you will deviate from your real purpose; such being the liberation of your human spirit via your own developed talents, ideas, skills, strategies, etc. 

Don’t fall prey of society and of your own ego, of your own intellect.  Peace means clarity, and you must work on yourself and focus only on yourself to develop inner peace, to erase all fear and confusion to get ahead and express your pure and most noble heart’s desires.

True heart of empathy.

empathy-quote-a-place-for-mom
Enter a caption

 

Empathy is that power with which all beings were endowed, which only concerns the pure heart, pure Infinite Intelligence, and has no reference or co-existence with and along the ego; because the ego is of the mortal mind, attached to the physical senses, it creates customs, traditions, beliefs, appetites, and all things which are bound to time, space, and to moods.

 

Empathy is then related to intuition, it is to listen and follow only the heart; but most people confuse this, because their hearts have been allowed pollution by a desire, by a belief, by an idea from their mortal minds, and thus they “believe” they are following a pure heart.  But the heart has no belief.  Truth has no belief. 

But this is the mediocre state of the human mind.  The only way to know empathy is to raise above this mediocre mind.  Do what is right, not what your appetites desire.

 


“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.  And to act so is immoral.”  ~ Leo Tolstoy; Russian philosopher, and novelist.


“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi.


 

The heart of man is polluted by the ego of the same man, such man of considered “goodness” and “kindness”–so they eat animals, wear them, destroy nature, pollute habitats, torture animals, etc. etc.

CHuinHwXAAANwy5

This is, of course, hidden in arguments and beliefs the ego creates and that “spiritual” and non-spiritual men and women of great weakness follow as their ravenous appetite.  And then they claim to know love.

 

But love, beyond romanticism and friendship, is an essence which creates, builds with FULL compassion and goodness, it has no ego appetites and it sees no differences between a man and a cow, or between the earth and a man.

This is true love.  Don’t try to understand what I am saying with your intellect, because if you do, then your ego will start making up excuses and justifying behaviors.  Only the pure, untainted heart of empathy knows my message.

22814302_10156673503262388_7359138747780244734_n

Love is an experience ONLY the truly awakened knows, and the rest who “believe” they are awakened because of their knowledge do not know (the ego makes them believe that they know it).

Love is Oneness and Oneness cannot exist if there are two beings with differences; for whenever you see differences and you say to yourself, “Is just an animal, buy the steak”, there is no Oneness, there exists no love.

Your ego can try to deceive you and justify all you do, but deep inside you know the truth.

Winning.

“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, lecturer, and poet.

“You have power over your mind, not on outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”  ~ Marcus Aurelius.


When you face a challenge or your mind for any reason gets confused and agitated, ask yourself what can you do to feel calmer and stronger to see things with more clarity and less confusion.

And if you are really asking to your inner self, beyond your agitated ego, then the answer will be clear, it might not come up to you right away, but if you are patient then it will come to you as clear as rain.

conexion-con-el-yo-superior

Your mind’s task is to quickly throw opinions and thoughts at you in order for you to choose and create behaviors to events, in order for you to create and interact in this world, in order for you to make things happen and build your path.

These judgments or opinions are just tools, they are not you; they serve a purpose, that’s it.  What creates mental suffering and chaos in your life is what you choose, your internal decisions and not what is happening outside.


The whole world is in your mind, because you make reality in your mind, thus you make the world and the experience of it.  Whatever you encounter, whatever you see or battle in your life may not affect you if you have mastered this mental law; for if you choose your thoughts, if you follow and dwell upon the ones which give you peace and clarity, then, your body will be built in self-love from within and you will gain faith and confidence in all you go through, in all you do, thus eliminating fear and confusion.



The world can come down in pieces on you and yet it cannot affect you if your mind is tamed and you keep choosing right.

Choose what leads to mental peace and your body will find the strength to keep going; but, choose what leads to stress and violent thoughts and your body will respond by bringing illness and more stress into your life.

The Greater Way.

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.”  ~ John N. Mitchell; American attorney general and politician.


“From the way most people live, one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.  Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn’t.  The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.  The unending repetition is a conscious choice in the pursuit of a life dream.  But what about the sameness of most lives?  Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink, the Sunday football game or religious service–how many of those people are consciously following their dream, training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?  And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day out of habit and boredom?” ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie; philosopher and self-awareness author.



Do you have a goal that makes waking up every morning worthwhile…?? Do you plan mentally your day or you just mindlessly behave like a robot…?? Do you envision a future and work intelligently towards it or you just work and hope for the best…??


You know, most people really believe that in life all that is necessary to achieve all your goals and experience life to the fullest is just being a good person, so they read this and that, they pray and behave kindly, they wish and keep the word ‘love’ in their mouths all day.
Mind-Woman-Confusion-640x520
This is all good and heartwarming, it molds you as a good and decent person if done sincerely; however, the truth is that the purpose of life is not just that, but the purpose of your life is to find greater ways to absolutely express your human spirit through greater experiences, through all your hidden talents.

Physical life is a chance to develop your human values and create yourself, embrace self-love and expand it through your talents and skills, to be the hero of your own life, to conquer your negative mind (to conquer your villain) and to spread that inspiration onto the world.

You do this by feeding your mind properly, by getting up early, by planning your day, by working towards a goal and enjoying every second you are alive (every pleasant and unpleasant second).

Only you can do this, not your parents, not your friends, not your religion, not the dead people you pray to, but ONLY YOU.  And the secret to all is in your mind, the hero and the villain dwell in your own mind.


“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.  When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

The taming of the brute.

“In the age of technology there is constant access to vast amounts of information.  The basket overflows; people get overwhelmed; the eye of the storm is not so much what goes on in the world, it is the confusion of how to think, feel, digest, and react to what goes on.”  Criss Jami; American poet, essayist, author, and existentialist philosopher.


“Until you realize how easily it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game.”  ~ Evita Ochel; consciousness expansion teacher, author, optimal health and wellness expert, holistic nutritionist, yoga and meditation teacher, and web TV host.


 

When we experience anything at all, our minds create thoughts regarding that experience; however, our task and challenge is to choose those thoughts with wisdom, thus lead ourselves to happy outcomes.

But, having said that, most of the population of the world are ignorant of this, even though they can be good people they let thoughts randomly guide them, thus create the outcomes in their lives; and this is so because the ego lives in the reaction of the ignorant.

Real-knowledge-is-to-know-the-extent-of-ones-ignorance.-500x471

In order to tame your own ego, control and choose your thoughts, so people, events, and the world do not control you, you must be fully conscious and aware of your reactions, you must not react but wait, give time to information to be analyzed, gather facts and involve the wisdom of your heart.

If you only react based on knowledge your ego gives you in the moment, you might just fall prey of your stubborn ignorance.

 

True intelligence to decide does not live in the mind, because in the mind you only find facts and data your physical senses gather; and precisely this most of the time may trick you.

True intelligence is absorbed by your heart through Infinite Intelligence; and there is where you find wisdom to make big decisions.

True intelligence is the one you must use daily, and true intelligence comes from the Infinite Mind, known as the subconscious mind.  The subconscious works through the silencing of your mortal mind/your ego/the brute thoughts popping up all the time.

When your heart is pure, or without the influence of your ego and the beliefs and reactive thoughts it forces upon it, then you can listen to this Infinite Intelligence or subconscious; thus, patient and wise communion with your heart and its whispering give you that mighty insight you need into any decision you make.

Be patient, don’t react, wait for the heart, do not follow simply your impulsive ego.

Live free.

“Misery loves good company, so if you are surrounded with drama, gossip, and fools, you may want to consider that you are presently at risk of becoming one of them.”  ~ Bryant McGill; social entrepreneur, activist, and motivational author.


In order to experience unique growth in life as the individual you are, there must exist harmony and peace in your daily living; but if you are always surrounding yourself with drama and all sorts of nonsense, either from family, friends, or society overall, you will not grow and elevate your mind in wisdom and vision to realize your dreams and goals.

a250bf9ed124e506c46922b9e1005b64

Allow your attention to shift to themes, news, conversations, people which can help you in your individual journey; all things which can empower you and give you a deeper understanding of life.

This is indubitably self-love, because what you are doing is caring and giving attention to your true self and to relevant data and positive energy to push you forward and help you create your own path in life.

Remember, absolutely no one can do this for you, but only you can.

So dare to step out of your ego and its comfort, choose the people around you, or watch carefully the time you give to this people, it doesn’t matter who they are and how much they say they love you.  Is about self-love. 

It is about you and your growth in life, not about other people.


So, pay attention to this, worry about your own individual progress.

Opposite to what religions teach nowadays, true spirituality is individual growth, true spirituality is self-love.  This is the real teaching of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Muhammad, etc., beyond all religious poison and biased translations of scriptures.
