The place for all.

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”  ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.


“He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.”  ~ Buddha.


 

The place for all

Beyond wild thoughts and ignorant beliefs,
Beyond all your petty misconducts and mental illnesses,
There is a greater field of cosmic understanding
Which resonates beyond our Heaven and Hell.
This place knows not of birth and death,
This place is the silence of Creation itself,
This place is where we shall meet without barriers.
When the bird sings, the dog barks, the person talks.
When the winds whistle, the storm shouts in anger.
A space between the noise and the beat of the heart.
Between you and me where it goes far into deeper Nature.
Sunrise and Sunset live in this Conscious substance,
They carry the whispers of our immortality,
Where we become one and thought does not perturb,
Where you and I do not exist and where peace unites us all.
Springs the illusion of Heaven and Hell, of a dual existence,
Where there is only sleep and no one sees but dreams.
This is the abyss of difference as the wars rise.
You must wake up, see the horizon as beautiful as I see,
That beauty is the only constant, and we are in this together.

~ Asa

Invincible.

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


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



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

244939761-Wise-Quotes-44004-statusmind_com

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

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

Greatness unleashed!

“Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things.  Believe in yourself.  Do what you love.  And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.”  ~ Stacy London; American stylist/fashion consultant, author, and magazine editor.


“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”  ~ David Frost; English journalist, comedian, writer, media personality and television host.



One of the problems people encounters is not to understand desire, so they believe that just by following a desire your mind came up with and you envision yourself enjoying is enough to reach success–so they see celebrities with money and fame, they want that; they see writers publishing successful books, they want this; they see great businesses expanding worldwide, they want it and start a business.


But the reality is that your desire alone, no matter how strong that desire is, does not drive you to any success, because you need constant confidence and patience to succeed at anything, such mighty things a simple desire does not give you; but only a truly passionate heart does, and that is more challenging than just a simple desire in your mind.

23131821_382847002148668_7090736365411008933_n

You must forge yourself and find your noble and truest passion, something you truly love from your heart, something you honestly believe in, if you really want great success in life.

See, it does not matter if you don’t think it would bring success, it does not matter if your passion is something you do not see as popular in society; because what creates success in life is not just the product or idea you sell or bring to the public, but the way you do it and the passion is, and the personal belief you have.


People take time, so you need patience, but they pick up on the passion you have; for it is the invisible force the one that attracts success, and that is your natural drive.
th
Either you live your life just existing and hoping for the best each moment without greater vision (loser’s chosen lifestyle), or you take full control with great strategy and working towards a vision, slowly but steady, patiently but 100% committed (successful mindset).  Your choice must allow you to experience true happiness–mentally, spiritually, economically.
A mind that is strong will learn and become stronger from obstacles and challenges.  A mind that is weak and pitiful will become weaker and quit on the first pebble on the road.  And if you don’t find your truest, most heartfelt passion, you will have no drive to last and endure the road to success.
Find that drive, be patient, believe in yourself, and the world is yours.  This is my current experience.

True heart of empathy.

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

 

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

 

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

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

 


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


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


 

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

CHuinHwXAAANwy5

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

 

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

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

22814302_10156673503262388_7359138747780244734_n

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

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

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

Winning.

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

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


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

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

conexion-con-el-yo-superior

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

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


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



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

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

The Greater Way.

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


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



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


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

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

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

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


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

The taming of the brute.

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


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


 

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

Live free.

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


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

a250bf9ed124e506c46922b9e1005b64

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

Beyond it…

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field.  I’ll meet you there.  When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.”  ~ Rumi; Persian Sunni Muslim poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic.


“Birth and death are events in time and space.  There is nothing but Life.”  ~ Dr. Betty Kovacs; scientific philosopher, businesswoman, and author.



Life is eternal, wise and ubiquitous, and the fact that Life itself branches out and offers these physical aspects which provide a rich experience for us to develop, springs a duality and creates birth and death; however, because physical life is just a small aspect or branch of Eternal Life, then it means that whatever–birth and death in this case–happens in the physical is really just an entrance and an exit.

22814348_380333145733387_5546634898382592379_n

See it as doors which we use to enrich the experience of Eternal Life, because in order for you to understand birth and death, thus in order to dissipate all fear and anxiety, you need to see this as doors into rich and wise experience.

Hello and Goodbye, in this sense, does not exist; but, however, only the mortal mind/the ego experiences it as hello in birth and goodbye in death.


So, birth and death are two concepts generated by the physical senses; because the duality of this life in the ignorant mind of man creates fear and the birth and death of superficial beauty–i.e., not true beauty, for it is bound to time and space.

There is then no greater deception than this, for this deception poisons the mind and causes all kinds of fears, it engineers a great distance between you and happiness, it mars the eternal beauty of Eternal Life, and it distorts reality of what this life period really is and how you should live it.

The eternal dance.

“True happiness is… to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.”  ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca; Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and humorist.


“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.” ~ Michael Jackson.


Happiness is not something esoteric and mysterious, but happiness is the very experience of the moment by allowing your full attention to be expressed in that particular situation.

37b11bde2a09bf4328cd2695c2a580ab--psychic-quotes-linear
The present moment carries our past and future, and it is the only reality there is. By allowing your attention on the present, you shift your emotional body into experiencing this reality which is eternal.

All things carry expression and is your mind the one that finds either misery or happiness there; therefore, is not the situation itself, but your mind and the choice it makes.

For example, your house gets ruined by a flood, you lost many precious things you had.  Now, you cannot do anything about it, what you lost you lost; but, however, your mind is the one who chooses to relive the past and cry over what you lost, or your mind can choose to look into the good things in the present–perhaps that you and your family are alive, that you have friends who support you, that you can be patient and strong and work towards a better life, etc.

By acknowledging the present moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant, you free your mind from suffering, from thinking of the past and/or future; therefore, you don’t live in the illusion of a past memory or in the vision of a future, but you embrace the present and live in the reality which is eternal. 

Your mind is everything, everything you think and feel is due to your mind; so, if you control your mind and allow it to live in what’s happening around you, in the present, then you can avoid the painful lingering of thoughts which do not help you move forward but which only serve the purpose of crippling you emotionally.

Control your reactions by knowing yourself, then your mind will shift to the present things which can help you experience happy moments.  Constant happiness.
