Without masks.

What is moral character…?? What is integrity..?? What are true moral values…??

Today, many people fail to realize that attitude, behavior, habit, is everything that makes a better human being. Words are just that: Words. So, let’s say you have great talent for something specifically, and this makes you be proud of yourself and attract people. You are charming. You always say nice things. You always give advise to others. But then you have your other side, such side unfriendly to others, not loving and tolerant with your own family. This makes you a “fake.” See, everything in life is about character, which is about being in touch with your own self; however, you do not have any character, true moral values, if you wear a mask just to deceive people.

Check out my article: For your moral development.

Let us say now that a businessman dresses well, talks well, acts professionally with other people he tries to impress as potential clients. Most people would say that he is a good, mature, honest man; because they see this man nicely dressed, responsible with his business and good with all this people/potential clients. This man is superficial, and here’s why. He then shows another side. He does not treat his wife with respect. He does not spend time with his family. He scoffs at homeless people on the street. He hates people who are not important and wealthy like he is. Would you say this man is a decent human being now..??

So, the point I am trying to make here is that what makes us decent human beings is not how we look to others or how others see us, but it is moral attitude every day. How I talk to my neighbor. The example I give to my kids. The daily habits I practice. Moral character shines in our small day tasks. Do I keep a good attitude in my difficult times or do I become intolerant and hurtful to others. So, whatever you think of yourself, however cool and charming you believe you are, nothing matters if you do not strengthen your moral character.

The right one.

It so happens that life is really just a mirror of us. Not a mirror of our desires. Because most of us desire goodness for ourselves and for others. And most of us also desire good lives. But this does not really help. Thoughts and feelings do not create your life, but behaviors do. The right habits daily mold your character, build your life slowly.

1- If a man wants a beautiful and healthy looking woman, he must be that; which means that he must take care of his health, mind and body. Once he becomes that, he can now attract and get the same from a woman.

2- If a woman wants a good and decent man who seeks true love, then she must become opened to meet good and decent men in the right places, but she must be patient and not give herself easily. She must give herself time to fall for such man. She must get to know him deeply and not fall for romantic or lustful words and advances.

These are just two examples out of the many. Point being that in life you must become first. You want love?? Become it first in your daily behaviors towards yourself and others. You want success?? Become that yourself in the same way. You want happiness?? Become that as well. Life will give you what you already are inside yourself. So many people reach wealth status, have big families, great positions in society; however, this is not love and happiness. They must become inside themselves first. Take this to heart and adopt better habits. Take care of your body and mind. Become yourself all you seek in life.

Steering our lives.

We make choices each day, each moment, whether aware of them or not. We choose what to eat. We choose where to go. We choose how to spend our time. We choose what to think and what thoughts to let rule our thinking and feeling. Outcomes are then results of these choices.

One can believe that one was forced, pushed, made to do something; but, as grown ups, we steer our lives. Some choices we make in ignorance, unaware, and blinded by passions or fears. Some other choices we make knowingly, stressed, or fully clear on what we want. But the worst thing we can do to ourselves, which is exactly what most people do unconsciously, is to remain stubborn and blame others for the direction of our lives.

Life is your mind, meaning that we build our lives as we go. Of course, we might feel pressure, frustration, anger, and the rest; however, the truth still stands. And what is the truth…?? The truth is that our choices make our habits, our behaviors, and everything we experience. While you are reading this, you are probably coming up with excuses to blame your life on others. But deep inside you, you know the truth. Live that truth. Stop the excuses and self-pity.

Creating how you feel.

Young businessman in suit and colorful splashes

What builds character…?? What gives man and woman their self-respect…?? What gives you honest integrity and capacity to create a heaven for yourself…??

What builds the soul of the human creature, what creates value in him, what gets rid of feelings of emptiness and misery, is unquestionably his behavior in the personal and public life.

His strength of character in difficult or challenging situations is everything, because it makes him feel mighty, because it inspires him to feel that he is strong and truthful within himself.

These boosted feelings of strength and truth that he feels when he behaves with integrity in his life, create great self-respect, great self-love; and so, this evaporates any emptiness or darkness within himself.

See, heaven is a state within you which makes you feel whole and truly happy with yourself, with your life in general; and for this you must dedicate your time to behave with integrity in ALL you do, which means to discipline your mind to think in moral values for yourself and in your behaviors towards others.

You project into the world what you are inside, or how you feel inside; therefore, if you feel lazy, or empty, or miserable, or lonely, or immoral, then you will project that same state into your behaviors as well. And so, your life will always be what you bring into it.

Your life then is a mere reflection of what you are, how of you feel within; hence, it is pointless for you to complain and act out whenever your life turns out depressing or your situations challenging, for your inner states create your outer experience of life.

Your inner states then are managed and kept well nurtured when you choose self-discipline in your actions, through behaviors of integrity, even if you do not feel like it. Doing good, honest, and noble actions will create that love and happiness you need in order to feel a much better inner state constantly.

Baseless grounds.

The way we treat others is the way we treat ourselves. The way we understand others is the way we understand ourselves. Judging others then is a reflection of ourselves, the kind of persons we are, the characters we have; therefore, you can never know a person by what others tell you of that person, as you can never know yourself by listening to the petty voices in your mind.

You know yourself by the honest feelings behind your daily actions, not by the voices in your mind. You know others by seeing their actions yourself, not by what others have said of them.

You may listen to the voices in your head, which are influenced by the gossip and opinions of others, and this may even make you feel like you can judge or know a particular person; however, this is not so in reality, because you can only know a person by actually knowing that person and the way they behave.

Your imagination, calculation, ideas, thoughts about someone, are just baseless and ignorant even if you have heard about such person; unless you actually talk to that person and know that person’s feelings and behaviors.

Being quick to judge is one of the big mistakes which lead people to ruin any possible relationships or advancement in relationships of any kind. Have you ruined any possible relationship like this…??

Wars, racism, prejudice, intolerance and much more exist due to not really understanding one another, and so judging based on what someone says, on someone else’s deed, or in the past of that particular person.

There is no ethical and moral compass in this deluded behavior of the egoistical mind. In judging people without actually knowing them no integrity exists in you.

So it is that one must be aware of this, and not enter the petty game of gossip and baseless accusation others play.

Creation of Destiny: Karmic consequences.

Post author By thegodwithinblog

No Comments on Creation of Destiny: Karmic consequences.

Imagine the following:

Every time you raise your voice in anger, every time you gossip, lie, support any violence, or do any bad deed at all, a bee or wasp stings you and leaves you really hurt and feeling very sick.

You would do it once, twice, maybe thrice; however, soon you would come to understand that the bee or wasp stings you because you have done a bad thing, and so immediately you would change and stop doing bad deeds. In this scenario, changing into a better and higher moral character, into a better person, would be easy; since you would be doing it to stop all stinging/all consequence/all pain from ever getting to you. This is Karma.

Except, in real life, between the bad deed and the consequence (the sting) there is a longer period of time; so, people never actually see the relationship between their bad deeds and the suffering they encounter in life. Ordinary people then live their lives being swung here to there by the activities of Karma (Cause and Effect Law), over and over again, stubbornly, blindly; such activities, and such suffering, which they themselves bring upon themselves. But The Masters raise themselves above Cause and Effect, they find joy in the embrace of The Great Law of Life.

And who are The Masters…??: The ones among us who can actually see the inner and invisible working of Karma, and the ones among us who can understand that doing anything which goes outside spiritual evolution and human moral character is to bring chaos and to feed negative Karma upon ourselves and upon others. You already know what is going outside spiritual evolution and higher moral character, so I do not need to tell you; however, you may allow your ego and your excuses to defend your behaviors and your ignorance, but still, deep inside, you know what is right and what is not.

But know that the whole purpose in life is that you evolve and ascend, so you change and do ALWAYS what is right in order to raise yourself above Karmic consequences.

The prayer of Enlightenment.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date July 6, 2018
No Comments on The prayer of Enlightenment.

If I watch somebody else’s suffering, whether a human or animal or a tree being destroyed, and I feel as One with great empathy in my heart towards that being’s suffering–that is a prayer. If I keep a clear and truthful mind which sees through my own ego’s selfishness and frustrations–that is a prayer. If I consider my own body and mind sacred as the temple of the true God in me, so I eat healthily and feed my mind with compassion for others and for myself–that is a prayer. If I control my emotional reactions towards others and accept my own flaws and work on them–that is a prayer.

This is an example of what prayer really is. Because the ignorant people of the world believes prayer is a ritual, whether kneeling and repeating like a parrot stupid words or thinking about some saint and holding some religious object; however, this is the fantasy and ignorance of the ego, this is blasphemous and based on fear. The real prayer is Enlightenment, it is based on love, pure love for yourself and for all beings; therefore, the real prayer begins as a thought in your mind, then it turns into your better behavior–you eat right, you take care of your mind, you love yourself in all aspects, and thus this love expands onto others (thus it blesses others). Have you ever known real prayer then…?? Or are you still stuck in the prayer of the ignorant followers of the world…??

When you start living based on truth and see through the laziness and conditioning of your own ego, you will know true prayer; but until then you are bound to rituals, to empty words and religious views. Perhaps you are not religious per se, but still the influence of religions in this world is so vast that you see people kneeling and chanting mantras, baptizing themselves in some holy water nonsense, humiliating themselves in front of a crucified Jesus figure, or talking to some fantastical god in the clouds, and your own mind starts believing these forms to be prayers. These may fill the people with faith and good feelings, but these are just based on fear–they do this because everybody does it, they do this because it makes them feel superior as saints and good people, there is a selfish sentiment there, “I am doing it so people see me,” “I am a good person, a good saintly person,” “Look how devout I am, I deserve blessings!”

Do you see the mindset of these man-made creations…?? These people “pray” like this, as empty, as repetitive, as mere followers of some popular trend, and then what…?? They go home and treat their own bodies (their temples) as amusement–they think negatively, they argue, they eat greedily and unhealthily, they hate each other, they support wars and prejudice amongst different peoples, etc. Think about it carefully, answer yourself: Is this really praying…?? Do you pray like this…??

Business mind. Self-help life truths. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

To a better life.

61112284 - good habits sign with arrow on beach background

“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.

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:

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.
