Beyond thought-forms and decaying flesh, right behind it, there is the superior god in all of us. We just have to reach for it and rise!

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

What defines you…

“Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and life coach.

“The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort.” – Colin Powell; American elder statesman and four-star general in the United States Army.

The ego-driven man, the one who lives focused on the fake thrill of material success, the one who lives envisioning a better future constantly, is the man who dwells in obsession and does not understand life itself, thus he makes selfish competition and running over others priority in his own life, thus he forgets his own greater self in the process.

But how can this man ever stop his own mind from searching and enjoy the moment if he is always seeking thrills and excitement…?? And how can this man experience the happiness living in each moment, whether considered good or not so good moment, when his mind is always lost in the outer pursuit of money and pleasures…??

This man can never know true happiness because for him happiness is a mere concept where he lives, in his mind, in his ego-driven lifestyle of selfish competition; thus, this man seeks out there constantly for value and for blissful experiences, but he never finds them because he misses the eternal condition within.

He indeed misses that spark of love and intelligence, of wisdom and peace, living beyond his own ego-centered activity which keeps him always busy making money and trying to find ways to entertain himself more and more while escaping from his own inner emptiness. He thus misses life’s moments with himself and his loved ones because he dwells in his rushing mind.

This lost man seeks things out there with the ego-driven process of selfish competition because he does not feel whole.

But there is also the man who understands and knows that happiness really lies within himself, so he seeks nothing out there; but, out there in the world of form, he works hard, intelligently and faithfully, to acquire what he wants, he studies and analyses what he wants, but he never makes competition a priority because he is already whole.

He is full and does not need competition. And so, whosoever is full and knows himself from within does not fall into the temptation of desperately seeking to be full further. Thus this man is not greedy or envies others and tries to compete to be better. He only works diligently each day to be unique, not better than the rest but unique as himself.

What defines you as a human being each day indeed is the man or woman you decide to be in your thoughts and in your behaviors.

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

The wider view…

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.” ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin; American psychiatrist, and author.

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” ~ Marie Curie; Polish-French physicist and chemist.

Happiness, true happiness, is realized and experienced in the individual by having patience and perseverance, by having diligence and commitment to a cause; that all means struggle through challenges, a deeper understanding, and reluctance to quit. Self-discipline is paramount through it all since self-discipline means passion to this superior commitment; this is the path to what lasts and to what gives profound meaning to our lives.

Of course, the rest is just fleeting pleasure, it will not necessarily be struggle nor make us get out of our comfort zones. The lower mind, the animal condition in man will always tell us of the easy pleasures in life, where the ego feels comfortable and gives mere satisfaction to the same ego-centered mind; however, most of the time this does not last and the mind is like in a sugar rush… it is extremely excited and high… but soon afterwards the mind goes back to its normal state and then there is the immediate sugar crash…

But through intelligent planning, analysis, hard and consistent work, and a noble and pure passionate heart, happiness can be experienced, true and constant happiness that is and not mere excitement and pleasure with a disguise to fool us into happiness condition.

For example, most of the time people get into relationships while confusing a mere attraction to the pleasures of the same relationship with true happiness, and that is because they are fooled by their egos and the feeling it superficially creates in them; however, the feeling of happiness is pure and is not based upon attachment to a face, to an intellect, or to a personality–these things might help, but they do not connect two souls because these things are tied to change (one day they are there, the next day they may not be.

No, happiness is not pleasure. Happiness is the deeper connection to a person or to an event just for the sake of giving love, for the sake of connecting; it has no reason more than the process of expanding love. The ego expects love and happiness. The pure heart just feels a soul connection and gives love because that is what it does… it just gives love… in the process of giving is the happiness experienced.

So, pay attention in your own life and learn to see the difference between true happiness and fleeting pleasure, between what lasts and what doesn’t. This will guide you towards true success and happiness which is real and thus brings real value to your life, to your superior development.

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!

The Way of The Warrior.

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

The Way of The Warrior

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage.

When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth. And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.

This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.

The Golden One First.

“Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?” ~ Bob Marley.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi.

We attract what we are. When our thoughts and intentions, our personalities and views in life, are similar or they resonate with each other then there is harmony, deep connection, and sense of communion which unites us both. And there is no point then in trying to find the right person or someone who can help us become better, because that is the ego always seeking outside for new experiences and relationships, seeking for something new which can bring entertainment to the emptiness inside.

Seeking without is seeking in the world for whatever we haven’t searched in the inside, it is a way to distance ourselves from the emptiness we fear inside, and it is definitely a way to escape the silence we fear within our true selves.

People seek all their lives, seek and seek, more shopping, more relationships, more children brought into this world, more traveling, more parties, more noise, add infinitum; however good or bad these may be, these are pleasures of life, and one must recognize in oneself first why are these needed. Am I seeking out there all these things and experiences because I am empty inside…?? Am I seeking these because I am unhappy and so I want to find happiness and a solution to the problems in my life…??

Maybe the solution to every little dilemma you have in life is within you, literally seeking within, getting used to the silence within, exploring the beyond within.

Ignoring your true self and covering it with relationships and things is just fooling yourself, which is just adding more thick mud to your emptiness and adding to your problems. And by doing this, you are not just damaging yourself further but you are damaging another person brought into your life.

You must love yourself first to love another. You must be successful and happy first to find success and happiness in the world. You must be the right person first to find the right person in the world.

Don’t be ignorant and foolish. Realize the truth within yourself first.

The patient one.

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller; American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

“There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.” ~ Swami Sivananda; Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.

We all understand that the origin of wisdom is not the mind of man, seat of the ego, but the heart, not the heart as in the muscle but the heart as the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, where all true love emerges and fills our cellular make-up.

To rush into things, to prematurely act and make decisions, to say without thinking, to react, is not wisdom from the heart but ego activity from the mind; therefore, when it comes to good decisions and behaviors to better our lives and ourselves, rushing into things is to deny wisdom, it is to purposefully ignore our divine trait of patience.

One must understand that patience is indeed divine, because everything that happens, when it happens, whether you understand it or not at the moment, has a divine purpose, and you must be patient and trust that purpose. Don’t try to understand it or analyze it, because your mind is limited in that regard; just be patient and trust the process.

There is no greater wisdom than to be patient, so breathe, calm your mind, before you rush into something, anything; but specially if it is about some great move or change in your life.

Remember, patience is divine; it means we all have it within ourselves. So, do not look for excuses and say that you cannot use patience or that you don’t have it; because you do have it, but you might just choose to be too ego-centered to reach for that patience within yourself. Know your own nonsense.

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

Balance and harmony.

“Do not give in too much to feelings. An overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; German writer and statesman.

“It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.” ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

The understanding of the activities or movements of the ego is vital to develop wisdom and lead a healthy and happy life, because the mind which is rogue and uncontrolled is the mind which will bring much more suffering and stress to the life of the individual. This unruly mind leads to obsession with what happened, with what affected us in the past, which leads to blindness of what is really happening in the present; thus we become reactive and wounded by whatever it is said in the present, just because our ego-minds are still fixated with past memories and still focusing upon the hurtful experience.

It is like walking around with your finger deep in your wound, as you walk it hurts no matter what you do or what anybody says or does; you cannot heal until you leave the past and get your finger out of the wound.

Being sensitive is one thing, but being over-sensitive is another. Like everything in life, you must find a balance, and so you must not obsess over your own wounds; because if you stay in what happened, if you allow your ego to obsess, you cannot get the strength to heal and move on, you will be hurting yourself even more and distancing others as well. In this obsession your mind gets warped into illusion, any words and messages from the world will appear hurtful to you due to your finger still in the wound of the past, and you will miss the joy of living in the moment where you find happiness and the reality of life.

Remind yourself daily to find a balance, and to remove your finger from past wounds in order to strengthen yourself, heal, deeply connect to people around you, and so lead your life forward.

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

Mutual respect.

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.” ~ C. JoyBell C.; American philosopher and inspirational writer.

When it comes to true love there must be respect, because true love is indeed a constant celebration of respect and deep connection; and so, respect means freedom to be who you are without being bullied or judged, it means you respect the other person and are yourself respected for how you think and feel. That is self-love.

How you think and feel must be respected, even if the other person does not agree with you. You either respect each other or there is no love, and if there is no love to celebrate, then, what is the point of staying in a relationship with no love…?? All relationships should be for your development.

One must develop patience and understanding in any relationship, but not allow oneself to be put down or treated badly; for it is all about self-love all the time, it is about your own individual development.

To have self-love, you cannot live in fear of being alone, of ending the relationship and starting a new life where you can be yourself; self-love is freedom to be yourself, it is knowing that you are already whole and that people have nothing to do with how you love yourself.

So, in order to recognize true love in another there must be mutual respect, which is freedom to be yourself and not his/her slave. And self-love is not fearing change, such is change to fix your life and get rid of relationships that do not serve you.

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

Superior man.

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” ~ Swami Vivekananda; Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.

“Be. Don’t try to become.” ~ Osho.

Men, more than women in this aspect, have to look deep within themselves and get more in touch with their emotional bodies, feel more by looking into the silence of their own beings; and also, like women, stop dwelling in the fear of rejection and judgement from the ignorance in the world of form and deceit. Many things drive superficial man, but fewer things drive the inner man; because the innermost recesses of the soul need no drive, they just are… and it is there that man comes into being, thus the realization of the superior man.

Awakening is the inner realization that you are already all that you need, that you are already all that is, that you are connected to all; so necessity for anything above you is the delusion of the unawakened one, who is always searching for something better out there, always seeking for love and happiness desperately.

The connection to the heart is what this man of the world lacks, and when he thinks he follows his heart he is just following his own ego masked as the pure heart; so he fears the opinions and judgement coming from other men, even lesser men. He is lost in the world, and he becomes violent by losing himself and his true purpose.

There must be then an internal revolution honoring the wisdom in man, honoring the real strength of the light in man; so he can be the example, who does not shy away from being connected to his priorities and his inner wisdom, who does not listen to the superficial masses of people who claim to know what a man is.

He is now a light unto himself and unto others, and he is understanding and patient, and he is wise and a protector because he knows what love truly is and he dares not deny it.

He is his own master and god, and he denies not what he is to the ignorant world.

He shouts his true happiness to the world.

Vital essence…

“I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, ‘love lifts me’.” ~ Hafiz.

“Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature, ‘to move’.” ~ Adyashanti.

Essence is what permeates and fills the shells which move about in this physical world. Essence is what makes all possible–the trees, the bees, the flowers, the winds, they eyes that lock into each other when there is attraction, and the burning of the Sun above us. This is what love is–not romantic, sexual, and the rest. But the essence of The Great Spirit which is all that is, which exists in the present because it fuels all there is, all that is real.

And there is no agendas or purposes for this essence–for how can a self-aware, all-wise entity have any agendas…?? Agendas, purposes, desires, and all ambitions of goodness or wickedness come from a conscious mind, from a mortal thought which one day loves and desires and the next day fears and repulses.

This essence existed always, before the mortal mind was born and will be after, because this essence of Creation is all there is… in darkness and light… beyond the qualities it is all there is… the rest is the shell. And it is all we know, many times poisoned by the ego and turned into wars and hate. Man goes after his own terms of love, searches everywhere and anywhere out there, destroys himself over it, blinded, ignorant, not seeing what is in front of him… or within him.

And what is that which creates deep within the being the desire for life if not love…?? What makes you want to read this and seek the truth to better your own life if not love…??

But do not be like the common man, do not put it qualities and aspirations; because when you do, it stops being the true essence of love. If you do put it qualities and aspirations, it just becomes more garbage from the ego of the ignorant man.

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

Visualize.

“Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.” ~ Donovan Bailey; Jamaican-Canadian sprinter.

“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.” ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.

Each creation has its purpose in life, each creature has its responsibilities and duties, and as a human being endowed with high levels of self-awareness you have yours. Your task then is to elevate yourself, to learn about yourself, to create your own path in this world, and to awaken to higher understanding; because true and constant happiness only is experienced by the ones who know and accept this, the ones who are willing to learn from life and keep their dreams, their goals, sacred.

You must focus and visualize your future, enjoy each moment, and be curious about life and about your own existence; therefore, inquire within yourself and find you inner strengths, your talents, your gifts, and the things in your heart that your ego tells you that you cannot do, the important things, the things that really matter to you, do them.

The first step to visualize is to delve deep into your heart, block the negativity and those thoughts from your mind, and within your passions and inspirations you will create the perfect image. Keep that image sacred and think about it every day, plan strategies and create a path to get there, but be patient when you do this. Remember, whatever comes easy and fast in life, is not great, it is just fleeting pleasure; but whatever takes time and energy, faith and endurance from you, it is great and of long-lasting result.

The worst mistake is to listen to your mind, to your ego, because that is where fear lives; so, just follow your heart and be patient, respect the process, respect people and yourself, but be consistent, faithful to your cause.

Acknowledge the people that stand beside you, that support you, and be an example to them and to whomever needs a helping hand; but never stop or deviate from your goals and dreams for anybody, because if people care about you they will respect you and your dreams, and if people do not care about you and your dreams, then, why would you allow those people, whoever they are, to distract you from your dreams…??

25443064_402244436875591_7334727463784792014_n

So, remind yourself that the first thing in life as a divine being is self-love, to love yourself enough to understand your role in this life and to know that you matter. Do not deviate attention from you. Help others with your example.

This is true love.
