Death of deep thought…

All television is educational television.   The question is:  what is it teaching?”  ~Nicholas Johnson; American educator  and self-help author.

Since the advent of television, and tragically through the advancement of more and more visual garbage, most people have become zombies of the trade of existing to pollute their own minds and fracture their own brains, inasmuch as becoming willing participants of their neglected relationships and poisoned thinking processes.

Most television shows, specially, but not limited to, the news and reality shows, as well as celebrity entertainment shows, deal with fear, as in gossip anxiety, jealousy, materialistic greed and the overall dumbing down of the human thought; therefore, via your watching these shows, your mind becomes affected, perhaps subconsciously, and poisoned because your brain plasticity (your structured learning) is absorbing and swimming in low vibratory images and words which trigger basic fears and anxious emotions within you–i.e., fears, jealousy, gossip anxiety, and poor development of intellectual thought.


Accordingly, this sick mental condition affects your behaviors and powers of intuition, such behaviors and powers of intuition which represent the key elements for all success in life, the path to all abundance and prosperity, your views in life, your awakening to the truth, and the freedom of the mind to embrace the happiness within you.


Television makes people dependent, it robs you of individuality and uniqueness without you knowing it; therefore, subconsciously, your mind alters and attaches to what you see, you learn and form your persona around what you experience, the world and reality are taught to you through this idiotic screen, your brain molds and beliefs and ideas are not yours anymore.  This continues at any age; however, the human developing brain is a sponge when we are children, so this is the time where we learn more about the world and the time where we create a strong base of reality.  What a young brain absorbs is what the individual grows up to be, either a follower who thinks and acts for himself and sees reality as it really is, or some drone who carries superficial thoughts borrowed from the mediocre masses with no inner vision of his own.

“The dumbing down of America, and of other media-heavy countries, is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a kind of celebration of ignorance.” ~ Carl Sagan; astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, lecturer.

Thinking positively.

“It’s really important that you feel good.  Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you.  So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher.”  ~ Joe Vitale; American life coach, teacher, and Law of Attraction author.


“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right.”  ~ Henry Ford; American captain of industry, business magnate–the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and the sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production.



Impossible things to accomplish and irrational fears are created by the human mind, and the human mind is tied and under the influence of time and space (thoughts only exist because there is time and space, and vice versa); and time and space, as we all can understand, are not eternal realities, they are constructs which help develop our humanity, but they remain as chains because for as long as time and space exists, for as long as we have a human mind and decaying flesh, as awakened as one can be, there will always exist fear and doubt.  Something which is not an eternal reality brings duality, and duality brings all fear and doubt.

1d0b971ee55d34a2f5c8f21babbc0008

So, allowing your mind to be positive and to desire for the best to come to you without overthinking–because overthinking brings doubt and fear–is to live without resistance, it is to flow with what is, it is to step out of your thoughts, out of your own head and accept whatever comes to you.
When you do this, your heart and your positive mindset become powerful magnets in attracting better opportunities and people to you; however, concealing and entertaining negative thinking, confusion, doubt, and the feelings which come with it, make you a repellent for better things and a magnet for what you fear might happen.
26734327_413103422456359_1569828563433381793_n

Obviously it is extremely hard to remain positive and appreciative of life when you have all these pressures daily, but if your life is to get better you must do this and stay patiently with it; therefore, you must be diligent in your new views of a healthier thinking, and bring those thoughts and feelings into your daily behavior as well.

Keeping the peace.

“What is tolerance?  It is the consequence of humanity.  We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly.  That is the first law of nature.”  ~ Voltaire; French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher.


It is really easy to give in to anger and all sorts of anxiety, specially when dealing with really stubborn and illogical people–i.e., people of set beliefs, fixed ideas, attached to traditions of old, and all this nonsense people fall into out of sheer ignorance and a lazy mind. Basically most people fall into this category, but quite often these still can be good and decent people, people who try to do their best even with the mental conditioning they have, and sometimes people do not try to even do their best.  It can be really frustrating to deal with this erratic crowd.


a022e424da034adcb5cb4c005411d43e--disrespect-quotes-tolerance-quotes
But we have to remind ourselves that people come from all sorts of places, environments, families, and with all different experiences that have shaped their minds one way or the other; so, for better or worse, these individuals must be seen from a psychological level, not just to understand what we can understand about them but to keep your own mind in peace when dealing with them.

And your mind must remain in peace and harmony, because, even though it can be difficult at times, it is all about you and not them, it is all about communion with yourself through a mind which is not in any agitation whatsoever.

Each one of us has a purpose for being the way we are, and we may not understand why this or that person reacts one way or the other, or why this or that person thinks one way or the other; however, life is conscious and wise, and it is not our business or concern to straighten them out or make them better.  Your only concern must be your own self and to show respect and love for people, and if they don’t care for you then just walk away and keep your ego tamed.

Watch your own ego, which always wants to fix everything and everybody.

Internal rusting…

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” ~ Albert Camus; French philosopher, author, and journalist.


The narrow and ignorant mind of man is steeped in tradition, in its beliefs, its ideas, its stubborn and obsessive thinking, its overall conditioned behavior in the masses of asleep people; so, church every Sunday, lots of gifts for Christmas time, praying for this and for that, read the scriptures every day, get married and have lots of kids, search for relationships because everybody does it and so I am not alone, choose a politics’ side and defend it, etc. etc.

26904196_412617715838263_4618893487148517081_n

As this process takes hold of the thinking and behaving of people, the mind in question is obsessive, fixed on an incongruous cycle, not able to be free and think for itself; and whenever the human mind seeks security on tradition, on set beliefs, on set ideas of the masses, this mind is not individual but collective, thus it is not based on self-love and freedom but based on fear of individualism–i.e., fear of being itself, fear of going against others, fear of not being accepted by others, fear of change, fear of making its own rational path, chained to the thoughts and opinions of others.


This mind is sick in itself because this mind allow its attention to fall on the outer surroundings–i.e., on what’s expected of it, on society’s influence, on its own ego fed by the stupid process of “fitting in with the popular crowd.”

And once this happens, there is no possible awakening and illumination coming to one’s mind, it does not matter how good, decent, and saintly the individual might be; consequently, this person’s whole world is his tradition, his beliefs, his reason, his egoistical views.

And it all happens subconsciously, without the actual knowledge of the person, unless he meditates on himself and on why he does what he does, as this occurs to the “normal” and decent among us, which could be you or your neighbor.   And in fact, this was me and the state of my own mind until I stopped and meditated on myself and my behavior–i.e., until I used common sense and logic, all rationale and truth within myself.
But a mind rich in uniqueness, free to be, emptied of all traditions and old beliefs, it is indeed a mind with space to be nurtured and filled with wisdom.  A mind which can use logic and intellect, and a mind which can be in harmony with its own heart; because this mind is empty of the world and of society and it can be filled each day with the wisdom found in self-reflection, where you see why you think the way you think and feel the way you feel, and now your behaviors can be truly yours and free, not chained to the mediocrity of others and to the influences of society.  This mind is elevated.  This mind is not mediocre.  This mind is different..

It is time to wake up!

Anatomy and physiology of life Business mind. Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

Spiraling With No End.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.


“You control your future, your destiny.  What you think about comes about.  By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands–your own.”  ~ Mark Victor Hansen; American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author.



Destiny

I kept the repeating question encased in pure gold,
Foolishly I tried to make sense of it as it grew in me;
I felt alone, confused, running lost in the winter cold.
Where was I going…?? What was I to be…??

I heard the cry of sheep and the howl of wolf.
Hadn’t I walked too long…?? Didn’t I deserve more…??
The moon was whispering to me about love
While my wings were broken and I couldn’t soar.

But the whispers were astoundingly sweet in my ear,
And were magically transforming my broken heart;
They spoke about absolute creation without fear,
They spoke about commitment from the start.

The moon told me about her love for the sun,
About the true essence of love between them,
How in spite of the distance they were One,
How their destinies shone together like a gem.

I again heard the cry of sheep, the howl of wolf to be.
I had to choose my destiny and renounce all fear.
The whisper was clear, it answered the question in me:
I created my destiny with the essence of love most dear.

26733758_411186749314693_2106993758612251513_n

 Spiraling With No End
My days were rainy and sad as I walked onwards to destiny,
Around me minds were conditioned to follow and compare;
The nuisance of their words, the ignorance without empathy,
The money schemes, the greed and jealousy stare.
And there seemed to be no return, as this was life,
And my mind was agitated, pressures to meet expectation;
The doorway was cold, heartless, Spiraling With No End,
Was this my life…??  Was this the lesson…??
The neighbors would rush past my chaotic mornings,
My family would become silent to my treacherous indifference,
My mind was in heavy fog and I couldn’t see the warnings,
Blinded by the Spiraling With No End in illogical defiance;
Was this my destiny as I had become this petty human being…??
Was this what my heart was destined to be, closed and sad…??
But it takes inward communion for the truth to be seen,
I had to stop my thinking and rushing day for myself to be glad.
To be truly awakened to the truth of me and the lies of society,
I need not to be taken by the inhumanity of the popular crowd;
To wallow in madness was every damn day to fall in anxiety,
To be myself now is to love each moment I live, happy and proud.

You are the Creator of your own destiny, not the stars, not any philosophy, not other people.  Never allow anyone to tell you differently.

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

Out of your head.

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.” ~ Pat Nixon; First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.


“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” ~ Socrates.



People get so caught up in their heads, in their problems, in their ideas not being recognized, in their obsessions, that they forget to live each moment with joy and understanding.

The value we can find in living the moment with integrity and comprehension cannot be compared with anything else; and that is because your life’s wealth is not in what you pursue or even in what you can fix of a certain problem with much work and dedication, but it is in each moment which you live mindfully by knowing that you do your best and that you do it unselfishly.

d07fde8d754f7933ae027bb9b877819e

And being present also means being thankful for what you have and for the people around you; this is the best and the only way you find the true value in life.  Because, even though society may bombard us with “buy this, buy that,” “Go to church and praise some bearded lunatic up in the skies,” “Get married and have lots of kids,” “Work hard and make lots of money,” and all this garbage, what truly matters is that you live rightly and to the best of yourself so you can give the best example.

It is extremely important that you can see the truth in this, and that you can be free to stay in the truth and get out of your own head.  Leave the stress and the problems and live in the moment, in reality, knowing that the true experience of life’s value is in the Now.

One with it.

“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” ~ Helen Keller; American author, political activist, and lecturer.


“You learn more from losing than winning, more from pain than joy.” You learn how to keep going.” ~ Morgan Wootten; American former high school basketball coach.



It is extremely important to develop ourselves and vital for true happiness in life to self-reflect and know our deepest selves, our darkness as well as our light, our pain as well as our joy.

26731505_411642822602419_3637707449312016357_n

Sadly, most people today do not understand that in order to know why something happens in life, you must embrace it, become well acquainted with it, study it closely; and, opposite to this, you must never escape and try to ignore it, specially when it comes to emotional and psychological issues.

The human being suffers pain, and, no matter your unique situation in life or who you are, you must learn to adjust to this; because pain is meant for your mind to analyze it and comprehend it in order to not allow it to destroy you and your dreams.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Do not run away from pain through activities, relationships, jobs, religion, travels, and the rest; but stay with pain and learn the lesson in them.  Do not avoid pain and what makes you uncomfortable, but realize that it is a blessing in disguise so you can grow.

Personally, I welcome challenges and pain, because If my father and brother hadn’t died, if my mother hadn’t nearly been killed by my once stepfather, if I hadn’t gone through so many challenges in my life, I wouldn’t have awakened to many wonderful things I see so clearly now, and, of course, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you and trying to help you in your own life.

5892e026ac7f5a1c5267e1d65a8906a5
So, you see, life turns to be wonderful and miraculous once you study and analyze those moments that have caused you so much pain and still anguish.  I hope you can see this, too.

“Greater Development.”

“Life is a moving, breathing thing.  We have to be willing to constantly evolve.  Perfection is constant transformation.” ~ Nia Peeples; American R&B and dance music singer and actress.


“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.” ~ Oprah Winfrey.



Are you the same person today that you were last month…??  Have you experienced something new and learned from it…??  Have you analyzed your mistakes or difficult situations of the past and learned wisdom to make better choices and build the best life you can…??


Life tries to teach you something so you can evolve and grow as a human being, so stop whining and train your mind to understand life and whatever you go through; because nothing is random, everything has a purpose, and your only task is to calm your mind in the middle of the storm and find a way to grow and progress.
26169855_408634759569892_3651138958519076514_n
Feeling sorry for yourself and remaining lost and confused will not help you in any way, but it will stop you from growth and fill you with contempt and fear.  This is what living life chained to fear itself is, and most people, even though they are good people and they even can be our family and friends, live like this without even realizing it.  The asleep state of the world.

It is interesting to me how life is constantly helping us to awaken ourselves to these things, helping us evolve because that is the whole purpose of being here, evolving, elevation; however, man has designed this illusion, this fixation with the negative, for this lower man truly believes that life is out to get him, that life has some demons going around wreaking all sorts of havoc.  Of course, these demons are the nonsense of religious thought since the beginning of mental slavery; and these are just ego-centered activity designed out of fear.


But the awakened man, seeing the ignorance ruling the lower mind of the masses, steps out from all this garbage; for he knows that this is the ignorant activity of a mind which is filled by superstition and tradition, so he frees himself, so he looks at life’s challenges and learns wisdom. 
So you must be awakened as well then, see life with a wise and positive outlook.  What is the point of living your life in fear of change thinking that you can’t achieve greater progress…??

seed-we-plant
Patience and faith, persistence and commitment, are very important for the healthier growth.  Don’t just work for what you want but experience the passion in each cell of your body, because this will help you create a greater development of yourself and of your life.

Learn to calm your mind, analyze what happened in your life, and create lessons which can help you evolve and grow stronger; otherwise you will not be able to heal yourself, move on, and create that greater life you want.

Without stop.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” ~ Norman Cousins; American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate.


“For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.” ~ Khalil Gibran; Lebanese writer, poet, and visual artist.



Time, as a necessary gift our minds create, has been given to us since the first speck of matter was formed, because time is what matter needs to exist; thus, in order for a process of any design, chemical or otherwise, to be given physical trajectory then time is vital, as well as space where events or processes can take place.

feature-image2
So, then time must be considered a gift, a blessing which moves this life forward, the one which allows you to experience everything, and the one which makes it all possible from one second of your life to the next.

This life then should be seen as time to experience and move forward, to develop yourself and your path in pure happiness, not to dwell in misery and suffering; time allows for all these, happiness and misery, and, even though we must embrace both, as both are part of life, there is no wisdom in dwelling in misery or pain more than is needed to learn and move on.

Because when you embrace the time you have and see it as a blessing, then you make everything about love and happiness, you don’t waste time being miserable, and you even make death into a door to a greater state or a graduation ceremony.


26168469_408301046269930_4164354282103538997_n
Death is only seen as the end or as very painful to your own experience if you live your life in attachment, if you only know and enjoy the pleasures of life, and if you crave relationships and material things as possessions/as source of considered happiness; for if you really understand and experience the essence of true happiness and love within yourself, beyond the superficial nonsense of man, then attachment and fear vanishes from your life and you see death as another stepping stone to something greater where you are absolutely free.

To a better life.

“I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.”  ~ Jordan Knight; American singer-songwriter and actor.


“The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your ‘rituals.’  I have a morning ritual, afternoon ritual, and Sunday ritual.   It’s one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits.”  ~ Lewis Howes; American author, entrepreneur, former professional Arena League football player, and social media expert.



The mind is the seat of all that we do, better put, ‘the seat of all habit;’ and so, most habits are done subconsciously, our minds conditioned since birth, but in order to make those subconscious habits conscious we must self-reflect, inquire within ourselves and watch how we feel and think, analyze our daily behaviors with conscience before doing them.

26169631_407890832977618_7609864089813573201_n
In order to create a good and truly happy life, and in order to create a successful and unique one, good thoughts and intentions are not enough; that is to say, good thoughts and intentions are important, but if you do not act on them, if you do not change your behaviors, is because your lazy ego, which does not like to get out of its comfort zone, is still ruling you and your life.

Good daily habits and a strong, healthy mind go hand in hand, and these are the cornerstones upon which all good actions in life are built; and so, you cannot be truly awaken if good habits and a strong, healthy mind do not dictate your behaviors daily.

You cannot be truly awaken just because you have good knowledge and deep thoughts, but these should be carried in your daily habits as well, otherwise they are null, void, an illusion of great and ego-centered activity.

Create good habits by analyzing yourself and your daily steps, understand that this process must be taken seriously in order for real and great change to come your way, and be conscious about each step you take:

Developing+skills+for+change +Creating+a+personal+plan

The road to being truly great in life must be reality, built facts which speak of your superior and wiser awakening; but a nice thought, a nice belief, deep knowledge, deep conversations, etc., these are not reality, these are not facts.

Thus, actions, real change, good behaviors which build and create, which mold and sculpt you like a masterpiece to make your life a masterpiece as well, yes, this is reality, these are facts you can trust for happiness and success.
