The road less traveled.

“Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.”  ~ James Altucher; American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, best-selling author, venture capitalist, and podcaster.


“Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness.  Thus goodness is attained.  Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.  Thus honesty is attained.”   ~ Lao Tzu.


 

What does honesty mean…??  Can there be honesty–that is, clear insight, seeing things as they are–if there is a principle, an ideal, an ennobled formula…??   Can one be direct if there is confusion…??  Can there be beauty if there is the standard of what is beautiful or upright…??  When there is this division between what is and what should be, can there be honesty, or only an edifying and respectable dishonesty…?? 

Quite often being truly honest with people, and even with yourself, is the enemy of a lazy and mediocre ego; that is why most people tend to live their lives based not upon true honesty, either with themselves or others–i.e., they smoke while always telling themselves they will quit, they eat anything they want while lying about eating healthier, they keep secrets in their relationships, etc.

ths

Being truly honest is the road less traveled then, but it is the road to peace and self-love within yourself; because this process of honesty with yourself and with others brings right thoughts which bring inner strength to be truly unique, and it attracts more people like you via more positive energy, it empowers you in your own life.

To be honest means to have no illusions and confusions between the reality that is and what our ego/our crooked desire wants.  To get ahead in life, people’s ego makes them feel like they have to deceive and even design “small” lies; however, this is cowardice and a loss of purpose, because to be truly intelligent is to be driven by truth and a determinant focus on your daily goals, and to have these traits you have to embrace truth, if you embrace truth your whole human experience changes and there is no room for lies or “small” deceptions.

And to be honest and truthful in a society which is crooked and twists all truth to its whim, is rather difficult and rare; but it is the sign that we are ready to take on bigger challenges in life, because life is wisdom and is always testing us to remain firm and truthful in adversity.

Being honest and truthful to yourself and to others will always attract the right opportunities into your life, if you are patient and determinate enough to reach your daily goals.

Self-help life truths.

Connect.

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll; evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher.


 

When dealing with people it is wise to remind ourselves that we all have different experiences, upbringings, likes and dislikes that have shaped our minds and behaviors; therefore, we must all accept each other in order to tolerate and further connect with each other.

tha
There is no more ignorance from an oversized ego than to judge people ahead of time, without knowing their reasons and without knowing their full intentions through their behaviors; otherwise, you will miss the opportunity to develop yourself as a more compassionate and understanding human being and to, perhaps, connect with that person at a deeper level.

Most ignorant people tend to judge people specially based on looks, they do not stop their thought and try to understand the psychological experiences that person might have had to live through to adopt the way he or she looks.

Tattoos, esthetic surgeries, body piercings, excessive body fat, the way one dresses, etc.–these might have a past, some right or wrong reason, some psychological origin; however, that should not be judged, because if one spends the time judging and pointing fingers, then there is no time and desire for your mind to expand in understanding and for your heart to love without an interference from some ridiculous ego.

Inner Power.

“Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches.  This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!”  ~ Pat Riley; American professional basketball executive, and a former coach and player in the NBA.


“The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.”  ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.


 

In this life we are all warriors, we are here to navigate through challenges and learn from them with wisdom and meditation, and by mastering our minds and bodies we sure conquer all obstacles in our path; but, however, there are the ones who accept this role and the ones who do not, and the difference is the inner strength you summon to affront life’s challenges and the strategy with which you do.

instagram-quotes-new-warrior-lion

 

The warrior summons this inner strength by being truly unique and by not following others, and this is why most people in the world do not accept their role as warriors, but they think they are just on earth to exist and get by until death comes.  This is a waste of life, for life is rich with wisdom and experience, and human beings are here to realize what they really are and wake up from all forms of man-made nonsense–i.e., all ignorant thought-created chains like religions, politics, and so on and so forth.

 

Remember then that life is not just to exist and go with the flow of time, but life must be your most precious gift that you should analyze and appreciate, put attention and battle when you must as a warrior. 

Don’t let other people and even circumstances infiltrate your mind and deter you from accomplishing something great.

Take care of your mind and body. Be always yourself and be ready to face challenges without fear, knowing that challenges are a part of life just like fats are a part of any food–the difference is how you eat and what you eat, and with challenges is how you take on challenges and what challenges you take on.

Without chains.

“When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers.”  ~ Gerald Jampolsky; psychiatrist and author.

“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; spiritual teacher, philosopher, and author.


We should never judge others and what they’re going through, because even though our thinking might tell us that we understand, such thinking is never the experience itself; so, in order to really understand, one must listen without judgement in one’s own thoughts.

thg


The way one experiences a challenge in life is going to be different than the experience someone else has, because it is the human mind which translates the experience.


The human mind works differently in each one of us–i.e., when something is deeply challenging to someone, that same something might be not as deeply challenging to someone else, or vice-versa.

Misunderstandings and personalities driven by pure ego are the main reasons for broken friendships and all more intimate relationships, and this obviously happens because people judge without really listening and opening their hearts to a higher intelligence.

The highest intelligence is not in the brain, is not the I.Q.–i.e., the I.Q. only recognizes similar patterns and solves problems based on books and the experiences it has gone through, so it judges purely on these terms; however, the human condition, human experience, goes deeper than what can be analyzed by books and by cold patterns and measures from thought. 


Never assume that knowing the psychology of someone entitles you to know and judge that person and the way he thinks exactly.  Experiences and the way the mind goes through them is very different for each of us.

The lion walks alone.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”  ~ Alice Walker; American novelist, short story writer, poet, and activist.


“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”  ~ Albert Einstein.


 

In order to attain great, first your mind should be great, because all is mind and it all starts from mind; therefore, for a mind to be truly great, such shall be cleansed from the examples of a mediocre society and free from the chains of other people’s opinions and beliefs.  This mind must be unique in EVERY way; no fear shall be validated and fed, for this mind dwells in self-love and in its own purpose, and so that is all it knows.

You have to be yourself and create your own values in your own path, and that way you are the master of yourself, of your inner strength because you don’t depend on society for anything now; subsequently, due to this inner strength you have created within yourself, people can say whatever they want, economies will collapse, challenges will arise, but you will remain strong and resilient to all.

22554755_375781752855193_4823488760070724879_n

“One of the greatest attacks of the enemy is to make you busy, to make you hurried, to make you noisy, to make you distracted, to fill the people of God and the Church of God with so much noise and activity that there is no room for prayer. There is no room for being alone with God. There is no room for silence. There is no room for meditation.”  ~ Paul Washer; American Christian evangelist.

In moments of great challenges is when we must trust ourselves the most and accept whatever is, and stop allowing the activities and the noise, the opinions and the beliefs of others to affect us.  When it comes to energy vampires, even though most ignorant people would not agree with this, it is about our minds and nothing else; therefore, absolutely no one can take away your peace and love if you don’t allow them, if you do not give in to what they say, to anger and to the fear and negativity they spread around you.

cosmic-meditation

“Sometimes, being different feels a lot like being alone. But with that being said, being true to that and being true to my standards and my way of doing things in my art and my music, everything that has made me feel very different, in the end, it has made me the happiest.”  ~ Lindsey Stirling; music artist.

So, appreciate those times when you can be by yourself and recharge, by knowing yourself, your thoughts and emotions; thus, you can grow in self-confidence and all self-love, so nothing can affect you and your mind becomes wiser to affront the turmoils of life.  Be perseverant and true to yourself, and don’t let the mediocrity of the masses attack and poison your integrity and your determination.

Study Lao Tzu’s wisdom in this: “I have three treasures.  Guard and keep them.  The first is deep love.  The second is frugality.  And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.  Because of deep love, one is courageous.  Because of frugality, one is generous.  Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.”

Attention shift.

“Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.”  ~ Og Mandino; American author.


What most people do is count their miseries, their debts, their troubles; however, this, in reality, does not solve anything but it adds to the stress and worry in their minds, this subsequently attracts more problems into their lives, their physiology gets affected as well and sickness follows.

thei
When you allow your attention to stay on things that stress you or worry you, then you create an eddy of negative energy which can only attract more negative energy in the form of more problems.


Of course, this divine process of creation acts in the realm of reality, the invisible and eternal which your mortal mind is not allowed to actually see; but you should recognize it nonetheless, as it fuels every thought and every event in your life.

By seeing the blessings you already have, you allow your attention to focus on the present moment and upon something which is real and pleasant to you, then your mind frees itself, your heart expands, and energy flows without blockages from negativity.


And, no matter who you are, and if you are rich or poor, there are always blessings to count–i.e., the clothes you have on, the food you have for today, what you are reading, the health you have, the people around you that truly love you, the fact that you have a healthy mind and can then work on a better future, etc. etc.

Don’t be a fool.  Use a higher mind and analyze all that which you have to be grateful in your life.

Flowing energy.

“The key to meditation is focusing on specific symbols.  The symbols are the chakras.”  ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz; spiritual teacher, software designer, businessman, record producer, and author.


“Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.  Spiritual balance is Tai Chi.  It is the center of things.  It is the place where yin and yang meet.  In the chakras, it is considered the heart chakra, anahata.” ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz.


 

The word “Chakra” comes from the Sanskrit word for wheel, and is more commonly translated to mean a point of physical or spiritual energy in the human body.

The seven chakras are the centers in our bodies in which energy flows through.  Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it is important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.

22489740_374331399666895_5281482910579817613_n

 

They key word then is ‘understanding.’  Understanding how to balance your life, your inner self and your outer self; therefore, balance is everything which brings bliss, but the ego tends to lean towards one side or the other and not to the middle where there is balance–i.e., strict healthy diet or lots of sugar and fat, lots of sex or abstinence from all sex, exercise for hours every day or no exercise at all, focusing on the misery of the world all day or living in your illusion, etc. etc.

That is why falling in the trap of the ego leads one to all self-destructive behavior–physiologically, mentally, spiritually, and financially wise.

It is extremely important then that you take care of your body and mind, by eating the right foods and not just the foods that you find attractive and that you are used to eating, by being positive and not stressing yourself over every event in your life, by practicing good and wise behavior towards yourself and towards others, by being in the moment and enjoying fully whatever is happening right now (whether pleasant or unpleasant), etc.

It is wise then to always have in mind great balance in all you do in order to clean your energy and be free to embrace a full happy existence.

Seeker.

“Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.”  ~ Buddha.


While thinking too much and living all day in your thoughts is a sure path to allow stress, worry, anger, and all tension to overtake your body, we have the real advocate for constant happiness and wisdom:  Our hearts.

heart-awakening-300x300

Through our pure emotions without the nagging insistence and interruption from thought, through our pure hearts, Infinite Intelligence works without obstacle from dogma, belief, or idea; therefore, this is the elevation of the human being via deeper connection to who we really are.


This establishes that everything and anything regarding thought is either pleasure or pain, and it is never happiness–i.e., the ego might make it look like happiness, but it is just an illusion tied to this plane of change.


Awakening to this, is indeed elevation and wisdom to see beyond the designs of the flawed thought of man–religions, governments, nationalities, social classes, etc.  It is unwise then to follow the illusion of a pathetic culture or thought that says, “Die for YOUR country,” or “Honor YOUR culture,” or “Praise YOUR religion and its beliefs.”

Outside of you there is only space and time and garbage from selfish men who are not awakened, nor will be if they keep veiling themselves from the truth, who then try to escape fear and confusion by designing flawed illusions to get your attention.

The only reality there is, the only true freedom there is, is found within yourself.


Awakening is waiting inside, not outside.

Love is no thought.

“He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment.  Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.”  ~ Chanakya; Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor.


 

Remind yourself that if you are going to live your life based on love, it must be true love, for the rest is just attachment, it is just an artificial form of selfish love your mind produces based on fear of loss–i. e., attachment to a person, attachment to a thing, attachment to a memory, attachment to an event, attachment to a thought, etc..

root-of-suffering-is-attachment

Humanity is flawed, society is corrupt, religions are invented, people are distanced, wars exist, people get together in romantic relationships to get married and then throw it all away, among other atrocities born out of ignorance, because mankind ignores what true love, the essence of it all is.  Mankind lives in the illusion of attachment and fear of loss, while thinking this is true love; even good, honest people, people you know, and maybe you too live in this illusion.

And this is the test, to find out what love beyond the nonsense of humanity really is, to find out for ourselves that love is not a concept of quality and form; however, most people live and die never really knowing what true love really is, married people even.
The fact is one can never, does not matter how intelligent and loving a person might be, really experience and embrace pure love if all one knows is attachment to their families and friends, to things and memories.

While you are crying and complaining about the loss of a loved one, while you are nagging because you want such and such thing, while you are asking people for pity because you are too self-involved in your narrow-minded mind to accept what is, then, you are missing the essence of love–i.e., acceptance, peace, freedom from thoughts of fear and loss; because love has nothing to do with thought, and when you miss someone, something, or when you cry for help, then you are following a thought, you are distancing yourself from your pure heart tainting it with a thought, you are not love then.

Think about this.

Blasphemous.

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?”  ~ Buddha.


“No one saves us but ourselves.  No one can and no one may.  We ourselves must walk the path.”  ~ Buddha.



Christians think they follow Christ, but following Christ means truly following his philosophy of Enlightenment, and not one of them do this; they just read stupid passages from the scripture and adore some nonsense statue or painting at blasphemous religions.

blasphemy1

When it comes to Jesus, Buddha, and others, people are so trapped and deceived by their own ego that they believe that their religions are right and truthful.  Ignorant people do not see that everything they know from clergy men and from the interpretation these men have given to the scriptures is totally crooked, fit to their blasphemous and stupid institutions which only seek mental control and the selfish growth of their establishments on earth.

And the pathetic part of it all, is that most of these people are reading this right now.
Wake up!
