Business mind. Poetry and prose from the heart. The free mind of a human god!

The power of a thousand suns!

“The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle.

“When you accept what is, every moment is the best moment.  That is enlightenment.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle; Spiritual teacher and author.


Desire is the one which drives humankind, the one which points our routes in this physical life–i.e., you desire to eat, you desire to find companionship and and get into a relationship, you desire to better your education to get a better job, you desire to be the best you can be so to achieve greater things in life, and so on and so forth.  And, of course, there is the real us, the subconscious, which takes care of breathing, heartbeats, blood circulation, immune system, etc. etc.; and so our subconscious does not do things based on our conscious desire of daily living, its energies are the essence of our life and what keeps our motors running.

But desire, good or bad, or the process of desire, lives in the conscious mind, it is our ego; however, because it is our ego is tied to birth and death, it is mortal and flawed, it is a superficial entity we use every day to function as human beings.  But there are energies driving the forces of desire, and these come from the subconscious mind that I mentioned above.  These energies from the subconscious are “enlightening”, or what most of us call “Enlightenment”, energies, and these divine energies are shaped soon into our ego, by our conscious (because through the subconscious they penetrate and give life to the desire that drives us every single day, they feed the conscious mind to our advantage and human survival). 

True spiritual awakening, the intelligent power fueling all of our being, is then embracing fully these divine energies flowing through the subconscious; therefore, true spiritual awakening is embracing who you really are beyond the ego and the desires you have (which can be good or bad).  Knowledge and all information is good for the mind, but it will only enter your mind and boost your ego.  This knowledge could help you in your life’s path, perhaps help you remember who you are deep inside; however, it will not give you a deep and shocking realization of who you are in the Absolute Essence (which is, in fact, your Absolute Essence, your Vital Life Force, what is called an Awakening).

 

th

Awakening

When someone becomes truly awakened, your whole belief system shakes and your views on life are altered, you start shedding intellectual and emotional layers of your persona because you start seeing your ego for what it is, and once you truly see or realize your ego and its reactions then you become bigger and stronger and more able to tame it or control it.  

This spiritual process we call “Enlightenment” or “Awakening” comes when the universe or God (the vital life forces in you/the wisdom deep in you/the subconscious or Infinite Intelligence in you) “find you” ready; therefore, this process of awakening does not come with your mere desire (which, as I mentioned above, all desire lives in the ego).  And this process is also called Entering The Light…

“Entering The Light.”

Of many a dreamland and conscious travels,
Only the purest inner contemplation unravels
The dimensions and elevations of mental planes,
The absolute freedom and love the mind gains.

I was obscured by stress and a dark life,
I was put down and belittled by ill strife;
Living every day had become boring and dull,
And my ‘good friends’ were trying to make me fall,
My family was distant and my suffering was great,
Hate and loneliness I thought it was my fate.

One day I found the passage beyond pride
For rich silence and self-acceptance I tried.
It turned out that within me was all along,
The dreamland, the conscious travels, the song;
The absolute freedom and the love was in sight,
I became the Alchemist by Entering The Light.

~ Asa Rodriguez.

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!).
Fruits and vegatbles
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.
18199438_1450266441702484_4758607954381029754_n
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.

The LION roars!!!

“Believe in yourself!  Have faith in your abilities!  Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”  ~ Norman Vincent Peale; American minister and motivational author.

 

What is blocking you from being the BEST you can be…?? Why aren’t you the motivated beast I know you are deep inside…?? Is it because you are shy? Is it because you have negative people around you? Is it because you have negative self-talks?
If you want to achieve success in all you do, if you want bliss at every moment in your life, you MUST find it within you to be your very best and stop looking at others and becoming self-conscious, which is mental torture to your very self and a damaging way of keeping yourself down.
God’s Nature is where you should find motivation, God’s perfection is where you find true strength. It is certainly where I have found my motivation and strength.
All of us, absolutely all, have a strength similar to a lion’s: See, the lion is king, nobody moves an inch when he appears, the lion roars and others shrink, the lion controls his rebellious emotions, his wayward thoughts, the lion knows…

The ugly faces! (Video)

“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.”  ~ Japanese Proverb.


Fear is the opposite of love. Fear is what stops and kills all motivation in the human being. Fear is made by the mind a powerful entity. Understanding and always remembering the root of fear will expand our knowledge and boost our sincere love, towards ourselves and others; therefore, it is paramount we delve into it.
If something goes wrong in your life, it can be traced back to fear, perhaps conscious, or perhaps subconscious from childhood. You want a successful and happy future and to enjoy each moment, then, know your fears…

Hidden power of the beast (video)

“Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.”  ~ Roger Ebert; American film critic, historian, journalist, screenwriter, and author.


 

Becoming acquainted with your own emotions at a deeper level is a sign of strength, it is the most important step in knowing yourself and your value as a person.  How you feel, why you feel that way, how did that feeling emerge, and what is causing it; see, all these are extremely delicate and essential for all human beings, for your thoughts are biased and they can deceive you, but your emotions under the microscope of your own inner understanding cannot, and in fact they will build your intuition powers and your strength as an individual human being.
This is a MUST DO to achieve all growth–i.e., spiritual, mental, and physical.

Strength-1
In my own experience: Once you connect with your deeper emotions, a transformation happens, you hold the greatest power, and you become a beast.

 

In this video, I talk a little bit more about it…

The one who laughs.

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”  ~ Pat Riley; American professional basketball executive, former coach and player.

 

When our energy to keep going is drained and we feel exhausted, heavy thoughts and emotions overwhelm us, and our minds, without our knowledge sometimes, start narrowing in size blinded by clouds of polluted confusion; then, as we all know, we create the dark concept of failure, which, obviously, being a construct of the exhausted mind, does not really exist but it only springs from our ego.  And when the mind becomes exhausted and overwhelmed by thoughts of failure, self-pity arises and takes over our thinking, kills all rationale, and poisons our ideas and behaviors. 

But in this state of absolute stupor, we cannot see the true reality, that the chemistry, the neuronal circuitry of our entire nervous system has been compromised and directed to bomb our bodies with toxins to make us have darker thoughts and to see only sadness and misery, and in turn these neuronal connections drive toxins into our cellular make-up to thus attract unhealthy habits and illnesses into our system/organs, hence, it is why we become sick and also moody.  And this can either happen consciously or subconsciously.

Now, there is something which can override this system of poison or toxic processes, and it all starts in your mind, is free and extremely powerful, and you do not have to go and take outside medicines of any kind; because this remedy is in you already, IT IS YOU, but perhaps you have not noticed it because of all the negative processes consuming you when confusion strikes and the illusion of failure is created within your mind.

 

13043265_1102574936471638_3681344354966699402_n
Oh, so that’s what happened to humanity! See, when you laugh at the problems presented in your midst and to the nonsense other people do, then you become stronger and resilient to deal with whatever happens in your life, your mind elevates and you see above your own problems, you come up with imaginative ideas and great solutions to further progress.

 

What can override this system of dangerous proportions taking over your whole body and wreaking havoc within your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, is just the simplest, silliest thing, “LAUGHTER.”  This means seeing above your own problems and nonsense from other people, so you can realize that you are not your problems, so you can realize that you are the reaction to your problems; therefore, you are always in control, whether you know it at the moment or not.

Don’t think you will be able to pay the mortgage coming up?  The kids are being kicked out of school?  Someone called you something you don’t like?  You lost your job?  Someone close to you died?  You engaged into a conversation with a moron who has a very small mind?  Your reaction is everything in life.  I am not saying is easy, mind you.  I am not saying you shouldn’t care, mind you. 

I am indeed saying that you should always think clearly, and do not become trapped by thoughts of destruction which can alter your mood and behavior thus making the problem even worse.  There is always a solution, and you will only find it if you can remain stress free.  If you still do not find a solution, find another idea and move onto something else.  Put your whole energy into something new.

Laughing through your problems or seeing them as something that is beneath you, will make you stronger and clearer of mind to use rationale and think sharper.  Remember the toxins being dumped by your nervous system that I mentioned at the beginning, the loads of poisonous chemicals going throughout your system and affecting your whole molecular make-up when you feel overwhelmed by stress…??  This is nullified and cleaned instantly by a bigger perspective, by laughing or seeing beyond your problems.

It is like a system of pipes:  If you add garbage and toxic waste, then, the pipes will be grimy and clogged, spreading diseases to whomever is nearby; however, if the pipes are clean and washed of all toxins, then, they can run smoothly and they will be working perfectly.  Inside you, the system is just like that, and laughing at your problems (however large or small they are) will clean those neuronal pipes running throughout your entire body, it will bring energy that is healthy and positive and then it will spread that same energy into your very cells and into your very thoughts, thus giving you ideas that are clear, solutions that are efficient, and behaviors that are constructive.  A better life overall.

This is one of the most important things to understand about life, because quite often one ignores it or forgets it.  But if you are able to remember this in the moments when you are confused and exhausted mentally, in those moments of stress and tragedy in your life, then, you will rise yourself above all that and grow your mind and human spirit to not only better your own life, but to spread and affect others around you with this godlike quality of laughter and joy through the challenges of life.

The God-Man exists, is not just a crazy idea; however, it lives beyond mediocrity and filth, because it is in fact your higher mind, and it does not dwell in any mental and emotional garbage.

The present to Enlightenment. And Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now.”

“To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.”  ~  Eckhart Tolle; spiritual teacher and author.

Being in the present is not a concept, an image, or a word that our mind can create, like it creates the past and the future.  Enlightenment, or higher spiritual awakening, can ONLY be realized through the communion with our own biology, our inner essence of the divine; however, most people search for Enlightenment outside of themselves, or even in their own minds, by filling their minds with knowledge, by doing good acts, by following spiritual teachers and hoping Enlightenment attaches itself to them, but, of course, this is a serious mistake.

The mind, the ego, does not have anything to do with higher spiritual awakening. Find out what does.

The story of the God-man (video).

“People  are  like  dirt.  They  can  either  nourish  you  and  help  you  grow  as  a  person  or  they  can  stunt  your  growth  and  make  you  wilt  and  die.”  ~ Plato;  Greek  philosopher, educator.


 

The  very  act  of  man  standing  erect  and  walking  upon  this  earth,  of  building  shelter,  of  enjoying  foods  which  sustain  life,  of  the  marvelous  working  of  the  lungs  and  of  the  miraculous  powers  of  the  heart  remains  unpaid  to  a  divinity  which  shall  bear  no  worthless  name  according  to  man’s  weak  confusion;  but,  however,  in  the  Eternal  Mind  such  is  the  almighty  power  of  Creation  itself,  which  has  thus  fashioned  all  space  and  time  and  the  bridge  that  unites  man  to  the  highest  and  most  blissful  riches  of  the  universe,  the  subconscious  force  or  omnipresent  mind—the  origins  of  the  god-man  bestowed  upon  and  introduced  within  the  human  form  of  the  everyday  facade.  

The  science  in  this  is  profound  and  in  agreement  with  the  great  sages  of  old  times.  That  the  heartbeats  themselves  produce  vibrating  forms  of  energy,  waves  and  ripples  of  the  electromagnetic  aura  around  the  heart  deeply  connected  to  a  source  of  prophetic  wisdom  and  emotional  power  the  common  man  whose  consciousness  is  planted  upon  the  physical  senses  dares  not  think  of.  That is the God-Man.

Now the story of how we became beings, then corrupted, and then lost in this land.

Since before time and space we existed and we were literally one, then chaos started, ego came into being and greed and the need to enslave the minds of other men. 

How did we get to this point…??  How to be free…??  What or who is the God-Man really…??

Let’s find out together.

The free mind of a human god!

The substance of the unique.

“The speaker is not important at all; what is important is for you to find out these things for yourself, so that you are free and not second-hand human beings.  You must look to find out, to find out whether or not it is possible for the mind to be completely and totally free of this violence, pride and arrogance, and so come upon a different quality altogether.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; philosopher, public speaker and writer.


 

     Human society, because of fear and confusion and the overall ignorance of the intellectual and limited ego, has created a myriad of institutions and philosophies to a false sense of freedom and security–i.e., religions and the blasphemous divine authority given to  its mediocre men, governments with no real human values and equality for all, business enterprises which only seek to grow richer and more powerful sacrificing the health and suffering of the poor bastards who buy their products, the military which promotes greed of power and vast death of human beings dressed in elegant suits of patriotic pride and noble pursuits of human growth, and so on and so forth.

And through all this ordeal there is the mind of the ordinary, everyday man, which not only sees freedom and security in all this nonsense but also finds a false sense of human individual and collective growth; however, this is the grand crystal illusion of society which prevents all freedom and peace from ever growing, and, most importantly, which veils the truth, distances the truth and distorts facts.  Freedom and love, all peace and individuality of expression is found within you, literally within you, and the illusion is that people follow these institutions like their masters and expect to find all harmony in the world by looking for it on the outside.  The world, the universe, the whole cosmos, was created from the inside of the entity essence of THE ALL, nothing was ever created from without.  The plants are born from the seed within the earth, not from without.  So, why would anybody that believes himself intelligent and rational look for peace and freedom, for love and security outside of himself…?? 

wisdomspiritual

     See, the core problem here is not that people look for these things on the outside, but it is that they truly believe this is the solution to all the problems in their lives; so, people look for real love in relationships with somebody else, people look for guidance in politicians which offer a good speech and a good personality, people look for their own value and identity in what they do, people follow the rich like they are full of wisdom and as role models to a better persona, etc.

As human beings we must understand that which is intelligent and rational for our own unique development, that to follow others and fall in their nice traps, it does not matter how nice they are and how good-intentioned they may seem to you, creates a distance between your mind and your heart, or between your intellect and your strong spirit of intuition.  This is conducive to wreaking chaos and all distress in your mind, in your views of yourself and your life, because you have been created from the center of your being, from your heart, the very seed of your existent organism, from that essence which is within the very core of your cellular make-up; so, to believe you will find all you need outside of yourself by following others and expecting others to guide you is literally madness, which is, obviously, why the world is what you see today.

     Let intuition guide you and strengthen you by eliminating the fear and confusion of your mind, but first make sure you have quieted your thoughts by not listening to others and so reacting to what they say and think; so, make sure you are well-disciplined in this, because a mind that is rogue and volatile covers the whisper of all intuition.

The free mind of a human god!

Sage within.

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.  If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”  ~ Buddha; ascetic and sage, spiritual teacher.
“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw; Irish playwright, critic and polemicist.

     Most of us believe that our actions will make a dent in time and space for the creation of our path to better health, better economy, and better relationships overall; however, we often get so caught up and lost into the murky waters of our thoughts of anxiety and stress that we think that we are making the right choices and cementing a solid path to individual success and all bliss.  There is no solid path to bliss though, no direct path to what we deserve or want, but only the capacity to learn and discover wisdom within ourselves through all the rich experiences (some pleasant, some unpleasant) we live as human beings; hence, life is not bias or egotistical, life is pure and free-flowing, not tied to anything like we are tied to our views and opinions, to our intellect and knowledge of the world around us, so we must discover the truth to follow within ourselves and our hearts, and not follow the opinions and biased views of our own intellects.
     It happens all too often that we have a death in the family, go through bankruptcy, or through some other personal tragedy, so we build a wall around our hearts and we weaken the ability to all emotional intelligence and human connection while trying to protect us from the blow.  We feel miserable and treated unfairly even though we wear a smile on our face and go through life like everything is perfect, but inside there is always something which does not feel right and, perhaps, makes us feel inferior at something or broken or suspicious at others.
    Failure at creating rich value within ourselves, and thus keeping our feelings bottled up by not sharing and connecting with others, will rob us of the discovery of wisdom within ourselves to create all beauty and success in our life.  And true wisdom is not something you find in the experiences you live (although that seems to be the main consensus nowadays, among all the divorces and the wars and the corruption going on around us), but true wisdom to enrich your own life is found within yourself by stopping your ego (the everyday monkey mind that goes 100 mph within you) and absorbing the details of your outward experiences–i,e. being curious about your own life, as in:  Why did this happen right at the time it happened…??  What is the significance of the things I feel based on what happened…??  Why do I react the way I do to what is happening…??  Etc. etc.
knowyourself2
     We cannot expect to find wisdom out there, in our relationships, in our actions, and in all the events out there; but we must be diligent and curious about inquiring within our own selves at all times, which is when we find out that we are all we need to reach all success in life.  Once you discover this within yourself, than you accept yourself as you are and feel, and accept others as they are and feel as well, and you then reach true and immense wisdom which creates enormous value to connect with others and build bridges to all prosperity out into the world around you and far from all anxiety and stress brought by your intellect/ego.
