Free to be…

“Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.” ~ Astrid Alauda; motivational writer.

“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.” ~ Steve Maraboli; American behavioral scientist, author, and public speaker.

Living your life expecting and desiring for something to happen is living in the illusion of the ego, in the illusion of the future, and it is not living the moment, enjoying every second of it.

You are mentally enslaving your whole body, with expectations, ambitions, desires, stresses which take this same body to illness; thus, you are projecting all these problems that do not exist or desires which are allowed to run your life, and you are inflicting suffering throughout your daily engagement. These are problems that are not really there but live in the imagination of your troubled mind, they seep into your psyche and then into your subconscious, pretty soon you make them into your habitual personality and your mind starts to think that this is normal behavior, while you become a magnet for illness and all kinds of hardships.

This ignorant process distorts reality itself because our minds live in constant agitation and worry about what we are expecting or about what we think it could happen in the future.

In order to live our lives with a peaceful and harmonious mind we must accept life and its events as they are, we must work towards a higher goal but never become obsessed or filled with expectation; so, just work towards something your heart desires but let it go in your mind, say “if it happens, happens; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It won’t affect me either way.”
And with this, your mind is liberated from all the chains of expectation and desire; then, your body feels free and no stress can overwhelm it, you become stronger and more confident, resilient and agile to endure all challenges.

Stress and all worry can only live and thrive in the past and future, as you recall memories that were and also expect the future to be the way your desire wants it to be. This is forcing yourself, not respecting nature to do its job; and it is the opposite of love, it is fear.

You owe it to your inner self to be stress free.

You owe it to your inner self to work and focus upon the moment.

This is embracing self-love and wisdom as you live in the Eternal Now for a better life.

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

The Unbreakable!

“Truth and Honesty is the oldest and most powerful of all of the human values.” ~ Gary King; American political scientist and quantitative methodologist.

“Truth allows you to live with integrity. Everything you do and say shows the world who you really are. Let it be the Truth.” ~ Oprah Winfrey.

People tend to follow their egos and always seek the approval and attention from others, they say and do to be liked, to be praised by others; however, this is as superficial as the understating of true love that they have, because this is the opposite of love, this is fear of not being accepted and liked by others.

And while you cave into this fear and focus on being liked by others, you neglect and disrespect yourself, you distance yourself from all self-love.

In this ignorant process of the mediocre mind then, one forgets one’s own deep value, namely the truth, God, peace; for truth is not to follow the ego and the selfish desire to be praised and liked by others, because if you do this you will never have a peaceful mind but an agitated one which always tries to please everyone you meet.

The truth is whatever is eternal and not tied to thoughts and characters of man, and this is why the truth will stand on its own and will strengthen the man and woman who lives based on on it, who experiences it in his thoughts, words, and behaviors every single day. To live with the truth is easier than not, because all that which is not the truth makes a cause for man’s deceit and ego-centered activities.

One must realize that man dies (ages and changes under times tyranny) and is ruled by his ego, which creates moods and characters within him, which may make a man weak and distanced from all love and rationale; however, the truth is what makes man elevate himself because there is nothing that can overcome the truth nor deny it, and the truth is eternal and to be 100% relied upon.

Furthermore, man is ruled by good and evil, all types of characters, moral and philosophical changes of all kinds, decay and death. But the truth stands by itself, rules itself, and it is freedom, it is one and is eternal.

Living and experiencing the truth in your thoughts, words, and daily behaviors is real power, because with the truth you are free to be yourself, unique, and so you are not chained to opinions, beliefs, influences, and the fear of not being liked by others.

Embrace this every day and become the truth to light up your mind and elevate yourself, and even help elevate others with your superior example, your superior behavior.

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

Choosing right.

“Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.” ~ Hans Selye; pioneering Hungarian-Canadian endocrinologist.

“To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.” ~ Eckhart Tolle.

What good is it really to always complain to yourself and to others, and have negative self-talks about your own life…?? Is your life really that bad and dark that you do not have any positives and so you must always focus on the negatives…?? Perhaps you shouldn’t always analyze and think things to death, but accept things the way they are and feel more while moving on.

People tend to live and subconsciously choose in their minds to experience the negative more than the positive, and this comes about because the human mind, which is the ego, is more attracted to chaos and entertainment, something to analyze and dissect; however, positive and all things of the heart are not that attractive to the ego, because these things of the heart are purer things and experiences to feel and not analyze to death.

Analyzing and formulating opinions, over and over again, quite often non-stop overthinking, is the realm of our mortal mind, the purpose of the ego; but one cannot wisely trust this process of over-analyzing because the deeper things in life, the ones which matter more mostly, are the more emotional things, the more direct in regards to life itself, thus just flow and acceptance. Flow and acceptance means that they cannot be questioned over and over again, because if they are then the process of questioning will make the mind focus on the pain or failed attempts, and so the mind will suffer, soon poisoning the whole body and leading to illness and all decay.

When challenges arise and your mind feels confused and bent on the negative, you must remember that in focusing on the wounds you may have or on the negative, then your whole experience, your whole world, is going to be negative and confusing; but, however, you will find strength and wisdom if you choose in your mind to see the positive, the things you can feel with your pure heart, without the analysis and stubbornness from thought, the things from the challenge that you can learn from.

Furthermore then, where you allow your focus to be is where your experience will be; so, the human mind is that powerful, and it will create your own experience based upon the attention you direct in life.

As Buddha said, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.” So, pain is in the challenges and obstacles to make us grow and learn wisdom, but suffering that pain is a choice the human mind makes by allowing your attention here or there.

So, choose wisely.

The free mind of a human god!

Beyond genius.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

“A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” ~ William Shakespeare.

Genius and wisdom is like love and understanding, one is not true without the other, one is not the real essence without the other; that is, genius lies in the deeper understanding of something, and so, the more genius means the deeper the understanding.

The greatest genius there is then, is the deeper understanding of yourself and of the wholeness of Nature, because this comprehension which goes beyond time and space is divine wisdom, superb genius above all other.

This genius lives deep inside all of us and it can only come out to the surface of our thoughts if the ego is well understood at all times, and also if the difference between what your heart whispers and what your ego shouts at you is well understood by you. The seed is the essence of it all, the ultimate and eternal truth of it all; therefore, genius is embracing, living, experiencing this truth in yourself beyond the intellect/the ego.

But this genius, of course, is not the mere creative genius an artist may have, for example, or the genius society praises.

For this genius, knowing and living the ultimate truth in yourself, is the genius of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, and other great men; this genius is the superb wisdom which knows no fear, because it understands and embraces fear, thus when this happens fear turns back to love, and so all is conquered and happiness is constant.

This is the cosmic or conscious essence that we all are and that it flows through Infinite Intelligence, which has no limitations and no source. This genius goes beyond the thoughts and imagination one may come up with when painting a masterpiece or building a great business, this genius is a deeper insight into life because it flows with life, and this genius is not of the mind of man but it lives deep within man. There are no heavenly or hellish forces to battle, for this genius all is natural, all is neutral; however, the only positive or negative, heavenly or hellish exists in the mind of man, his considered mortality, in his deceiving ego, in his lower artistic genius, as great and praised by the world as it is, confined and bound to time and space.

If the purpose of life is to discover true and constant happiness, then why not reach deep inside you and bring this genius up to the surface of your thoughts…??

Instead of reading and hearing about Jesus, Buddha, and all these dead men, why not becoming like these great men yourself…?? Wouldn’t that be much better for yourself and your life…??

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

Mastering life…

“When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you. We have much to learn from a simple dog.” ~ Eckhart Tolle; German-Canadian spiritual teacher, public speaker, and author.

“I hate prejudice, discrimination, and snobbishness of any kind, it always reflects on the person judging and not the person being judged. Everyone should be treated equally.” ~ Gordon Brown; British politician.

Life allows us to make different paths, and that exactly shapes people, and by the choices we make under any circumstance we are forging our journey along this path; this is something unique which is the heart of our level of living and understanding.

And nobody is better than anybody due to having different experiences; we are all different, perhaps with a lower or higher thinking depth, perhaps we have taken our time to meditate on ourselves or not, but we are all here to learn from our unique and challenging experiences.

31982e0984cd489032ddfab70045eaac--pink-quotes-yoga-meditation

Sometimes people make the mistake of seeing a rich person, a bully, an angry person, a hateful person, etc., and think that they have it easy or that they are evil because of their words or because of the violence they commit. But, the truth that your untainted heart knows, and that your ego may quarrel with, is that we have all gone through experiences and lifestyles that have shaped us as the human beings we presently are, and many times the choices we have made out of ignorance were not the best ones.

But whether you understand this and tolerate it or not is a reflection of you, not of the people you judge.

This speaks of your own knowledge of self and of the control you have of your mind, such must be always a peaceful and harmonious mind in order to see through all prejudice and anger from the rebellious ego.

You must accept people the way they are, even if we are talking about Hitler himself; because nobody is born evil, but the choices and the experiences growing up make good or evil. Learn to be the sage, the wise one who can see through this veil of prejudice.

And with this I am not saying that we should hug and kiss every damn idiot out there who rapes, murders, bullies, and even that talks down to you; however, I am saying that we must keep our minds peaceful and free of anger and anxiety, and I am saying that we must keep the attention on ourselves and not on judging others, because while you hate and judge others you are distancing yourself from self-love, you are letting evil into your own mind to take over, you are the one choosing wrong now, you are the one committing the sin.

Think about it and be wise in your own daily choices.

Discovering the eternal flame.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date November 14, 2017
No Comments on Discovering the eternal flame.

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.” ~ Socrates.

“My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.” ~ William Shakespeare.

Happiness and pleasure are two different things; happiness is what we are eternally (obviously has no beginning and no end), pleasure is what physical life created (has a beginning and end). Pleasure, if is chosen wisely, may be something noble to which aspire and seek in life, but we must never confuse pleasure with happiness.

Happiness has no purpose, no quality you can define; therefore, you are happy just because you are content and living in the moment, while you struggle and work you choose to embrace what you are, true and constant happiness.

Now, to acquire nice things and prosperity in your life by noble and inspiring work is great, it is to experience life and go after your goals; however, you must see that this is just pleasure, perhaps something you need to thrive day by day, but never happiness.

So, one reaches true wisdom when one is content and satisfied with the things and successes one has at this moment in life; of course, you may wish sincerely to achieve more, and that is okay as long as you see the difference between pleasure and happiness.

If your mind cannot understand and see this difference, then you are bound to self-destruct and lose yourself in the unhappy pursuit of your own ego which is never satisfied; this means, a life of all fears and vast suffering, a life wasted.

The greatest mistake of humankind is to believe that the outside pursuits will bring happiness to the emptiness they already feel inside; however, this is a deceptive dream and a fool’s paradise, because this is an illusion of their own egos which deceives them and distances them from reality, from the treasure inside themselves. Buddha has said, “Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth.” Furthermore, happiness lies in your choices, in your own mind, not in outside pursuits; you embrace happiness by not allowing the world and others to affect your state of mind.

Focus your mind on what you do have right now, and not on what you do not have; because most people in the world are never truly happy, due to following their insatiable egos and focusing on what they do not have–always wanting more, nothing being really enough.

You must be wiser in order to see through the veil of pleasure; you discover happiness in the pure heart, not in the insatiable and superficial ego.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Business mind. The free mind of a human god!

Forging steel.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ~ Marcus Aurelius; Roman emperor.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” ~ Socrates; Greek philosopher.

Life is not just some state we have to go through and experience, but life is a gift, the greatest blessing; and much more than that, life is something we create in order to reach experiences that fit our individual personas as human beings.

You cannot follow in the footsteps of others and expect your life to be some mirror reflection, but you must design your own life, correct your destiny, forge yourself into the person you want in your heart to be.

Forge yourself!

You have to savor the process of falling in love with mighty patience, enjoying the present and experiencing the bliss in you. Be wary of your conduct, watch yourself and analyze, study, let time be your ally as you trust whatever you go through in your life; and so, wise is the patient one, for patience is loving yourself enough to respect this process of trust.
But as you trust, you must be diligent because challenges will arise and shake you, so keep your head up high and do not quit whatever ignites your heart with a noble passion.

The fact is that life is perfect flow, but this world we inhabit, this society is flawed and far from perfect; so, you must watch your mind and your expectations, do not let your own ego create false expectations and reflections which may soon cripple you when things don’t go as you planned them.

Do your daily work with wisdom and do not carry yourself forth with ambitious and selfish desires; and in order to gain wisdom, you must silence the chatter of your mind and listen to your heart without interruptions.

And as well when dealing with people, it is wise to listen to what they say instead of listening to yourself and your grandiose ego.

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

The bully which rises…

“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.” ~ Henri Nouwen; Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer, and theologian.

“When anger rises, think of the consequences.” ~ Confucius.

We have all felt neglected, jealous, not understood, emotionally hurt, or psychologically insulted at some point in our lives; but, you must understand that anger is not something they made us feel in reality, such anger is something we chose to think and then create as an explosive feeling–due to our environments, events, ignorant people, yes; but anger is always a thought you create.

9082728_orig

The management of our physical senses dictates what thoughts pop up into our minds, and thus which feelings we follow or allow to affect us–i.e., for example, if you cannot control your jealousy and you are always watching how others live and so compare their lives to yours, you might get angry at your life because you don’t have the opportunities for economic growth your neighbor has.

Anger is a thought which is not rational, and it only exists because we have formed a prideful image in our minds; and due to the ego most of the time not being rational either, you have now a perfect recipe for self-destruction.

When you see misery, poverty, animals being killed, wars, etc., in the world, you feel compassion and great empathy for the suffering of others. But why do you get angry…?? Does compassion exists along anger…?? Isn’t love or compassion the only reality and anger the thought which the ego creates out of selfish ignorance…?? Why follow the ego and get angry then…??

Anger is selfish by its illusive nature because it poisons and veils the clarity of God, of pure Love; therefore, when you allow your mind to create emotions or feelings of anger, you distance yourself from the ultimate reality and follow your own designed illusion.

You leave the Light of God to follow your own ego, which in your stressed mind might be an accepted process of love; however, true love and anger can never exist together–i.e., one is reality, the other a deceitful poison.
