Tips on Problem Solving

“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.” ~ Sir Bernard Williams; English Moral philosopher.

Life is challenges, that is the value of life, the rich essence of human existence. Imagine if you didn’t have problems or challenges, you would never grow and learn, you would never feel blissful and accomplished whenever you have achieved something you have worked for. Human beings only know success because they know frustration and failure. Human beings only know happiness because they know unhappiness. Human beings only know how love feels because they know how fear, hate, and rejection feels.

A few tips on Problem Solving for your everyday life:

Accept the problem: Quite often we try to push on, live our lives ignoring a problem or just hoping it goes away on its own; however, this might be counterproductive for growth and for a solution, because it could backfire on us. Acceptance of a problem means that you are not resisting and not feeding that problem by an immature and damaging process. Accepting it means that you allow peace and clarity to enter your mind and so think better, to become one with the problem and not running away from it like it is your enemy. Problems are not enemies, they are there for a reason; to help us grow and master ourselves, master our skills of creativity, of imagination. So become one with the energies of your problems; because those energies can be transformed in solutions if you work with that problem.
Keep calm and analyze: Ask yourself: What’s the worst that could happen…?? Is this really the end of my life…?? Should I let this problem rob me of happiness and clarity…?? Should I allow fear to take over my mind and my body…?? Thoughts of obsession and darkness seem to overwhelm the mind when we have a problem, and by taking a step back, sitting calmly, breathing deeply and meditating or contemplating on the problem, we can then become rulers over the situation and get rid of the brunt or heart of the stress we feel. And remember that stress is conducive to illness and all sorts of problems, specially it blocks your creative thinking.
Remember who you are and look at failure as nothing to you: This is a big one, and one that most of us forget. What human beings really are, beyond the mere thoughts we have and the decaying flesh we see in the mirror, is energy, energy inside each atom that makes us; and this energy is what we call Imagination or Creativity, and this is why we are given by life problems and challenges in the first place, because we are equipped by nature to solve them, whether you are conscious of it or not… Also whenever problems overwhelm you, look and learn from highly successful people and their views on failure–i.e., failure is just a state of the mind for them, and something not to be feared but to be welcomed and learn from.
Don’t be proud, ask for help: Quite often, there is that foolish pride the ego creates, that embarrassment perhaps, that fear; but, the opposite of fear is love, so you have to accept to expand that love to get rid of that fear, and you do it by connecting with others, by sharing the weights you carry on your shoulders with others. As human beings, we are to support each other because we are a collective species, we are one in the sense that we must help each other with the challenges we present. Pride drives the ego and so the problems you may have exacerbate or become heavier on you; therefore, help others with their problems, and help yourself by connecting with others and sharing the burden you carry. Asking for help means trust, and trust is the expansion of love; the expansion of love is not a weakness but a strength, an imaginable power.
Use The Universal Law: This law says that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity depending on the time you set aside for it. For instance, if you say to yourself that you will come up with a solution within a week, then the problem will seem to grow more difficult and you will spend more and more time trying to come up with a solution. So focus your time on finding solutions, be clear of mind first and then give yourself an hour or so (instead than a whole week) to find that solution. In this manner, you will rule your own mind and not allow panic or stress to set in and take over, you will give your mind a definite time frame and structure to come up with a solution in a very ordered way; and this will drive the best methods to use the energies of creativity that lie within you.
Watch your words about the problem: Words, like thoughts, are energy, powerful energy which attracts either positive or negative outcomes. Most people fail on finding solutions to big problems because they ignore this deep understanding; this can either bring more problems and stress or it can bring solutions and mental peace. Your choice… Whenever you feel frustrated and say something negative like “I cannot do this!” or, “There’s no solution here!” you allow more stressful thoughts and situations to appear in your midst, to overwhelm you further. Whenever you do this, you are summoning negative energy by picturing a “giving up” image in your mind. This is the loser’s mentality, but most people do not realize it. The winner’s mentality realizes that there is no failure or losing in life, just challenges to learn from and always grow. So be wise, adopt a winner’s mentality!

There is always a solution to your problems, but the challenge is to keep your mind clear and peaceful to find it.

A little reminder.

“Stories are life.”

They shape our lives.
You were born, you grew up, you chose your path, you struggled in your path, then you die.
These are stories. And the way you live yours is the most important part; because karma, the change of events, the content of the realm of Akasha and your life’s records, the godly essence that moves it all, is all in the details of every moment in your life, of each present moment that you live.
Your thoughts, your words, your intentions, your behaviors (conscious and subconscious), all these are recorded and they forge your future, your destiny.

So live your life with wisdom.

Self-help life truths.

The ugly and heavy rocks.

Post author By thegodwithinblog

No Comments on The ugly and heavy rocks.

“A few vices are sufficient to darken many virtues.” ~ Plutarch; ancient Greek biographer and essayist.

This morning while walking my dog I encountered a guy, like I had many times before, bumming cigarettes, poorly dressed and with a really anxious demeanor and countenance. He came to me and asked me for a smoke; of course, I told him I don’t smoke, but it also made me think of the fear that wretched vice was holding in his weakened mind, he wasn’t able to control his urges thus becoming a puppet of the addiction of smoke.

I wanted to write this because vices and their fears are poisoning our minds, and they are keeping humans hostage, not able to express fully their excellence through talents and creative thinking; furthermore, vices themselves are ruling over the minds of people making them weak and subservient. Most of us are not able to be absolutely free because of these vices which act subtly over the hearts and minds of men and women. And then people complain about not having success in their own lives, and also become jealous of other people who do embrace their own excellence through controlling their urges. Human vices–i.e. smoking, drinking, any drug addiction, food addiction, sex addiction, friending your fears, work addiction, etc. etc.–are the very heart of mediocrity and misery in people, perhaps subconsciously; because these things soil your higher talents and higher thought processes.

Habits are what shape us as human beings, what either elevates or diminishes our mind, our thought processes of creativity and understanding; therefore, if we do not watch what we do and just acquire foolish habits, we will not achieve excellence in our lives, and not even a life we can be proud of beyond our nonsensical egos. Habits can destroy your happiness or help you embrace happiness, and it is always up to you, up to what you choose to start doing in your everyday living. Habits become who we are and they mold our futures, but addictions are habits which are foolish and habits which you haven’t thought through; of course, your ego trap is that you think through all that you do, but addictions only happen when we are not leaders of our own minds, they happen when we are followers of other people and society–this EXTREMELY weakens you.

And vices come in many forms and varieties, as you deep inside can understand, but the thing to have in mind all the time is that spiritual values, or the mighty power of the human spirit to achieve all we need and desire in our own lives, are the expression of our higher selves, the expression of who we are beyond fear and stress and all anxieties. And addictions, OF ANY KIND, bury that power of expression and genius we all have deep under muddy layers of mediocrity and filth.

This seems dramatic, and even over-the-top, but deep inside you know it to be true; because there is a small light of wisdom within you that tells you what is right and what is wrong, but perhaps your ego and foolish desires cover that wisdom on a daily basis.

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

Beyond the ego of man.

Due to the power-mongering and mind-controlling agenda of the Church, many ancient manuscripts have been cast off and ignored (this happened when Emperor Constantine ruled the land and gave complete control and power to the Church, so they chose some holy books to build the religion upon and the other holy books were hidden away into darkness from the world), because these very manuscripts contain truth revealed which are not good for the prosperity of a deceitful church or religion. The ego-driven institutions of the world born from the ego of man couldn’t survive if the whole truths from these manuscripts were revealed, for this case you only find the books in the Bible which say nothing to evoke a consciousnesses transfiguration in man, but instead you meet only emotionally compelling stories which boost the ego and start the imagination of the already mediocre mind, leading thus to no independence of thought and reach of the Higher Self in any man.

And while there may not be any direct references in the known Bible by Jesus (Yashua/Yeshua) regarding a vegetarian diet, text does exist with Jesus teachings that we should not only be eating a vegetarian diet, but that we also should be eating a living-food diet (we should not be cooking our food!).

Now, it is indeed the understanding of the truth and the acceptance of profound wisdom that which elevates the mind of man from the pitiful and enslaving condition of mediocrity and puerile existence, which gives limitations to that same man, to the godlike condition of a higher consciousness which knows no bounds and creates prosperity and growth. We should understand that when Jesus talks about a vegetarian diet he does so because in those ancient times man did not pump cows and all the animals with chemicals to extract their milk, and did not exert the massive cruelty man inflicts on animals to get their hide, milk, honey, and other animal-related products.

Now-a-days, a compassionate saint like Jesus would indubitably talk about Veganism, for the singular fact that being Vegan causes no suffering to animals, while just a vegetarian diet means not eating meat but still partaking of the related products–i.e., animal milks, animal cheeses, honey, using leather, etc.–causing yet animals to suffer greatly by the cruelty of the present industry. It is much worse and a greater sin whatsoever to make animals suffer like that–i.e., being skinned alive to get their hide, fill them with poisoning chemicals to get their milk, shave them raw to get their fur, etc.–than to kill them and be done with it. The world has gotten more and more cruel and ignorant towards all nature in these present times, no doubt; however, the simple and narrow minds and the lesser emotionally developed of the world cannot see this, for they have blindfolds of their choosing, which are their egos always talking over their hearts saying “Me Me Me! – Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more!”

Here are some of Jesus’s teachings, the ones that the Church hid from people:

(But you certainly do not need to be a follower of Jesus to understand the truth in these scriptures; so, cast aside your ego and your prejudices to read this and accept the truth in the words you read.) I bring the absolute truth.

The commandment. “Thou shalt not kill”

‘Thou shalt not kill,’ for life is given to all by God, and that which God has given, let not man take away. For, I tell you truly, from one Mother proceeds all that which lives upon the earth. Therefore, he who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink;in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels to decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death.

It follows… “I have given you every herb bearing seed… to you it shall be for meat”

Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan (these are the thoughts, ideas, and behaviors of the ignorant which bring all suffering upon man). For that is the path of suffering, and it leads unto death (spiritual, physical, and mental dullness and decay). But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Obey, therefore, the words of God: ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every green herb for meat.

Self-help life truths.

Beyond the everyday slave-driver.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date July 26, 2017
No Comments on Beyond the everyday slave-driver.

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” ~ Confucius; ancient Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher.

When a baby is born, he’s born pure and flawless, untainted by beliefs, dogmas, opinions, corrupted views, and all that which separates human beings and makes them design stupid differences and all kinds of hatred; however, as he grows up and leans on subconsciously ignorant parents (which might be good or bad, but still ignorant) to teach him and guide him, he thus builds himself from the inside and generates identity and value to himself based on the process of growing up with those parents and in that environment. When that baby becomes an adult, he does things, interacts and connects with the world around him, quite often not knowing why he does anything he does, hence, he does not know himself in deep, just on the surface, and this causes him to suffer and bring all sorts of problems to himself and his life.

And, of course, the mediocre society, culture, nation, people around him does not help, cannot help really, because they are ignorant as well. This is the process of real sin we are all tied to, or as Buddha puts it: “Pain is the outcome of sin.” His life then becomes a mess, he gets anxious and stressed, he believes himself to be unworthy of success, his mind shrinks, his heart becomes polluted, there’s no critical intuition or sixth sense, he falls prey of his own beliefs and theories, etc. etc.; consequently, he creates more distance between himself and other human beings, and he separates himself from nature–i.e., from animals, from trees, from mountains, from rivers, from the air he breathes, and so on and so forth.

In short, he becomes ignorant to his connection with the whole of creation and he finds his identity in what he thinks he is. Thoughts become his world, he follows thought and he praises thought, so his entire life revolves around thoughts from the past and the future (for thought only belongs to the past and the future, and the only reality is the present Now).

It can last for generations without conscious awareness of it. Don’t let it ruin your kids.

And in this stupor, the grown man now cannot understand why events, relationships, ventures, and all interactions in his life go wrong and bring him stress and suffering, and make him doubt himself and devalue himself. But deep inside he knows something, some real essence, even if his own thoughts do not know it; he knows at a deeper level that he is worth, that he is good at something, but the problem is that he cannot bring that value up to the surface and use it to connect with the world–so in this way he is basically in a prison that he built himself by putting his value on his thoughts, when his thoughts, or ego, cannot help him reach that real inner value he has. Then, obviously, frustration and violence (mental, emotional, and physical) take over him, control him, drive his destiny.

But the cure for this has been in him all along, he just did not notice because he was always connecting and praising his thoughts like some god; and this cure needs remembrance, for if he is to get the truth out of him then he needs to remind himself of the truth. And this is the truth the baby knew long ago, and that the baby still within him knows. His real value and the wisdom to discern everything that goes on with him and with his life. The truth to drive his destiny. The truth to all bliss.

To get and embrace this deep inner truth, he needs knowledge, but not any knowledge; but this he needs, self-education of where he really came from as an energetic or spiritual being, self-education of the science of the atom which makes all matter, self-education of the society he interacts with ever day, self-education of the emotions he has and why he thinks what he thinks, ad infinitum. Some call it “Knowledge of Self.”

Discovering yourself is a journey and not a destination, and it will help you understand the road to success on anything you search in your life, it will open your sixth sense and you will see magical things with your heart, you will experience things you haven’t experienced before, things which thought cannot help you experience, things beyond the physical properties you experience every day.

But you need to remember who you are and the real value you have. This is done ONLY through acquiring the right knowledge that can shock your current thinking and erase all your wrong beliefs of yourself and of the world around you. It is destruction of the old you, to thus build the new and powerful you.

As Buddha said, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and with your own common sense.” And as he also said, “No one saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

Deeper Understanding (video)

1 Comment on Deeper Understanding (video)

“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci; inventor, painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, musician, engineer, philosopher, anatomist, astronomer, geologist, botanist, and historian.

We live in an information-based society, and so everything we do is based on what we understand of ourselves, of others, and of the environment. That information is translated into understanding, and it all must be seen through our physical senses. This is how we lead our lives; break-ups, divorces, wars, bullying, unhealthy habits, nonsense of all types, as well as good decisions of course–it is all based on our either narrow understanding or clear and deep understanding.
Understanding deeper than what is the superficial will manifest bliss into our lives, it will open our minds and hearts to the profound meaning of things, events, and to all that happens in our environments; to be stress free, and of clear minds, to accept and elevate above the nonsense and mediocrity of the world.

The bird that flies.

“We know that in tough times, cynicism is just another way to give up; and in the military, we consider cynicism or giving up simply as forms of cowardice.” ~ James Mattis; American Marine Corps general, and United States Secretary of Defense.

Yes, it is true that life is challenging and painful, and this is why life, this wonderful physical existence we have been gifted with, is precious and rich; and this is also why it requires a higher mind, a higher person living based on truth and love, to understand why you should see life as what it is and not as what you think it is. Look, if you see life as what you think it is, as what your thoughts are telling you it is, then you will probably end up suffering in all you do and even killing yourself because of all the enormous stresses weighing you down; however, if you put aside your opinions and immature thoughts about life, and so see it as what really is, then you will definitely thrive and gain the wisdom to move forward even when things seem dark in your path.

Life is like a little child: If you use violence and try to force your own way, then the child will become resentful and unruly, disobedient and with a vengeful heart towards you and towards others. But if you use good communication, trust and faith on the child, and, most importantly, patience in the rearing of that same child, then he will become giving and obedient to you, he will do as you say and make life really easy for you.

People adopt certain postures and views of life, either positive or negative and for whatever reason, this process can either blind people in darkness or turn on a powerful light on them, but always remember that life, in its natural or divine context, is pure and innocent like the child; so, it will do based on your thoughts, words, and attitudes, and like the child it will take the course you are telling it to take. And like the child, life will observe you and see if you give up on it or not; then, if life sees that you give up on it, it will take offense and resentment, it will give you your deserved reward, the reward of someone that gives up and has no faith; but if life sees the patience and faith you have on it, the commanding voice and the deep love, then you will be blessed with great rewards and a life of a great attitude towards you..

The light at the end of the ladder which is your path is always brilliant and refreshing, but we cannot see it sometimes, or even feel it, because we let darkness, knowingly or unknowingly, overwhelm us with its presence. And darkness always lives within us because it is that negative part in our human psyches, that challenging part which gives worth to that physical existence I was mentioning at the start; on the other hand, we have been given powerful light within us as well, to battle and extinguish that same darkness from affecting us to the point of breakdown–i.e., because our bodies and minds are like very sophisticated computers, they can either run with power and efficiency, or breakdown with poisonous viruses and lack of good maintenance of the software.

You are the maintenance of your own sophisticated computer, so it is up to you!

In order not to give up and let darkness take you over in life, you MUST become aware of your thoughts and emotions, not let thoughts and emotions dictate your existence but raise above them and rule them like a god rules over lesser beings. By becoming proactive and practical, by stepping out of your funk and out of your own biased opinions and narrow views of the sadness and pain in life, you become truly aware and faithful and patient towards life; consequently, life will become your best friend and you will start seeing opportunities and reasons to feel happy every single day (some may call this blessings, but in essence it is just that you are following the Universal Law and not going against it).

Being creative and engaging in activities that create good thoughts and feelings in us, specially when darkness and misery knock our psychological door, is the biggest and most important tool life, in its wisdom, has given us to battle these demons of darkness. This is not about denying pain and misery, or not feeling the ugly things about life, but this is about not letting darkness and misery consume you. This is about the bird that flies into the vastness of the blue sky, and not about the bird of broken wings that lies in the dirt waiting to be trampled by someone.

As Napoleon Hill said, and it is in fact a powerful writing hanging on my wall which I contemplate every single day, “A Quitter Never Wins. A WINNER Never Quits.”

And I never give up. I always steer to win.

The hidden you (first video)

No Comments on The hidden you (first video)

“Our mind is like a cloudy sky: in essence clear and pure, but overcast by clouds of delusions. Just as the thickest clouds can disperse, so, too, even the heaviest delusions can be removed from our mind.” ~ Kelsang Gyatso; Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, scholar, and author.

To me, the essence of what we truly are is the most essential understanding I carry with me about life which influences my thought and behaviors.

Most of us walk around blind to our real worth and identity, so, in this mirage so real to us, we engage in arguments and fights, and rebellious and ignorant attitudes which take us to pain and suffering and all kinds of negative emotions of destruction. This is because we find our identities, our value in what we know, in the knowledge we have acquired throughout years and all experiences we have gone through in this physical realm; however, the energy within those atoms that form you is what you truly are, it is your ONLY real identity and value because that never dies, but your body and mind do. Some of us call this energy imagination and the process of creating value to connect to other human beings.

In this video, I explain certain things about it from my own experiences in life:

The powerful and wise ally.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date June 26, 2017
No Comments on The powerful and wise ally.

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” ~ Leo Tolstoy; Russian writer.

An ancient Chinese warrior once said that you become good with the sword and powerful and swift in your fighting movements through working steadily day by day throughout years and years, that only patience can be your greatest ally in becoming the best in the battlefield.

Life is a roller coaster and we are on the ride whether we want it or not, because this life is movement and growth, ups and downs, moments which seem like we are falling off the ride and moments which seem like we are flying across the sky free of all harm; which it is the whole purpose for matter to exist, the whole purpose of life, learning from those moments when we think we are falling and from those when we believe we are flying free like birds. The illusion of falling off and flying free makes it worthwhile, all that you think, believe, and experience each day, even thought it can be tragedy, make this physical life of value to really hold dear in your heart. Perhaps you see and understand the development of life itself differently than I; however, the absolute truth is that which you live each moment, not the past or the future but the right now.

And life plays this on us, past and future in our minds, so we can adopt the powerful character and develop the wisdom to experience the only true reality that matters and see past the deception of past and future. Of course, the illusions of past and future have been given to us for a mighty reason, which is to sharpen motivation and create a sense of growth; because your mortal mind values the right-now moment based on what you did and experienced in a past moment, and your mind values the right-now moment based also on the prospects for the future that you have–i.e. the promotion you are expecting from working hard, the business success and development, the wonderful dinner with family in the celebration coming up, the learning and growth of your kids and you experiencing that, the growing old with your partner, etc. etc.

And for this time exists precisely, the distance from one event to another, because you need time to develop yourself as a human being from the past into the future, where you find value and identity in those important illusions to enrich your right-now moment. That same distance to develop yourself and design the rich events happening in your life, certainly you can agree, needs patience and perseverance; the character and wisdom to create whatever you desire to see in time, in your life, is found in the patience which takes to create in that time. Life is always moving and creating based on your unconscious or conscious desires, and based on your unconscious or conscious behaviors; the only difference between positive and negative creations is your awareness of what you are creating or telling life to create around you.

And that difference is ruled by time and patience. Patience not only aligns with the natural evolution of the universe in creating beauty around you, but it creates strong character within you to see that those creations fit your search for success or that image in your mind that warms you and gives you a feeling of joy; because all the purpose of life itself is that you master the patience to align with the universe in creating your reality as you want it to be. Impatience rushes the universe like rushing the construction of a building–i.e. if you rush the construction of a building, then, the workers won’t use the best materials and methods to build, so the building will be crooked and of weak foundation, and soon it will crumble into pieces over your head.

See, patience builds the momentum needed to work out the details of something great, or a great creation coming in your path, but impatience rushes that wonderful and needed process. Impatience is an obstacle for creating success. Impatience gets in the way of Universal Law by deviating the process of creation and by stopping construction ahead of time, so the ultimate result is rushed and ugly and everything which is the opposite of what you wanted. Impatience is the enemy of all the heartfelt desires of growth you have in mind for you and your family.

Patience itself is wisdom because through patience you find a kind of peace within your chattering mind, and so your views and attitude about your own life change, they become more aligned with the joy of the right-now moment, and, even though you still think of the past and the future, you now find yourself less anxious and more self-disciplined to find value living in the moment, enjoying the moment.

With a better mental attitude brought on by patience, your mind becomes powerful and wise, because the power and the wisdom are found in the freedom of the moment and not in the stress of the past and in the anxiety of the dubious future.
