The Law.

“There’s a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.” ~ Sylvester Stallone; actor, producer, and director.

“Change is the only universal law.” ~ Egyptian footballer.

There are many people in the world who do no realize that life is progress, change, adaptation; thus, this people seem to choose to remain attach to memories of events, objects, ways of living, beliefs, ideas, and even to people who are not in their lives anymore.

Attachment to these memories is extremely foolish and unwise, not only because you go against the natural forward flow of life, but because you spread poison into the lives of the ones around you. Remember, you guide others with your example; and if you are stuck in a belief, a memory, or a lifestyle, then you carry no real light in your example.

Spiritual_Warfare_by_NylaRossini — Carry the light of thriving change, of great adaptation, and transform your life and the life of others around you.

In adaptation to all these changes there is great wisdom hidden, because this is the way life itself teaches wisdom, through change, through new perspectives, through minds which can let go of stupid and old dogmas and beliefs, cultural habits and lifestyles.

Whosoever adapts to change and learns from this change without disturbing the peace of others, respecting the way others choose to live, indeed, he is enlightened.

Bruce Lee puts it so beautifully when he talks about the mind in change, adaptation, in this quote: “You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

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

Forged unbreakable.

“Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes in you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.” ~ Phillip Sweet; musician.

“I will keep smiling, be positive and never give up! I will give 100 percent each time I play. These are always my goals and my attitude.” ~ Yani Tseng; Taiwanese professional golfer playing on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. She is the youngest player ever, male or female, to win five major championships.

In life you will have challenges that will try to really, deeply break you and show you the light you really are, and this cannot be avoided because life is wiser than any of us and knows exactly what you are capable to overcome; therefore, your enemy shall not be the challenges themselves, but the people around you and also your own ego, for they will try to infect you and sicken you so weakness may overwhelm you and the light in you gets lost.

stopbadvibes_compressed

Life tries to break you through big challenges, indeed it does in its unlimited wisdom, because in order to be reborn into the light you must die, or your old, weaker self must die and be forged in the pits of hell to now re-emerge as the unstoppable god who is not deterred by any mediocrity around him.

It took me years, but after my father’s death I understood that human beings have been given much more strength than we think, and this might be obvious to some; however, until you really realize this in your heart and embrace it by creating a path of self-discipline, you won’t really experience this mighty truth in your existence.

Remember who you truly are beyond all thoughts of self-pity you may have. Remember that the only true reality comes to you when your mind is free from the influence of others.

Stop talking about your goals and dreams, and use that energy to step by step go towards them.

Forge your own destiny!

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

The Fearless Master.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt; American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, reformer, and United States President.

“Don’t obsess about the failures. Instead, investigate and close the successes.” ~ Chip Heath; motivational author and public speaker.

Quite often life challenges us and the human mind mind gets so overwhelmed with illusions of miserable failure and great embarrassment in front of others that we tend to sabotage ourselves, we shrink a little and smile on the outside but our emotional states are not elevated one bit. This is when the ego is allowed to rule our lives.

To act opposite the ego and its depressive chatter in this case is truly wise, because to reach true success means getting out of your comfort zone and becoming a Master of new life philosophies, a Master of your mind.

A master of your mind does not mean that you are always free of thoughts of failure, but it means that you have raised yourself above those thoughts and that now you can see them without engaging with them, without allowing these same thoughts to take you over and cloud your judgement in life.

The Elevated One.

“The brainy class is made up of individuals who think for themselves and beyond formal education are continuous learners who tend to be self-taught.” ~ Maximillian Degenerez; author, philosopher, and entrepreneur.

Do not let your ego veil you from reality, do not let your mind trick you into thinking that society’s education, society’s knowledge will awaken you, give you a better life, spiritually, mentally, and financially.

Most people become depressed and discouraged for not having formal education, but if they were to look into great men in all aspects of life in history–Jesus, Buddha, Edison, Rockefeller, Ford, etc.–then they would find out that the minds of men and women are only as good as their true divine desire to progress in life. Formal schooling had nothing to do with their success, but their own self-taught journey did.

thlu

Be yourself and do not put your trust in the world, in what the world teaches; the human mind’s only value is the one you give it by your own hard work and dedication, and it is not given by books or other minds (that can be of help but it won’t bring true success and happiness into your life).

Life is not a destination but a journey, and so happiness is; therefore, mental elevation and all self-education is the same. Many people stop learning and creating ways to learn just because they finished college or high school and went on to a good job–and this won’t bring the experience of true happiness just because you feel good in your field, because you went to a good college, and because you make good money now, even if you are a good person.

What makes for the experience of happiness, not pleasure but happiness, is your own directive and determination to learn for yourself throughout your life; because this is life’s true purpose: Mental elevation and your own individual progress.

Analyze this and be wise.

Silent killer.

“We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh; Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist.

” From the passions arise worry, and from worry arises fear. Away with the passions, and no fear, no worry.” ~ Buddha.

Worry is another delusion which spreads sickness into the body, its power if allowed robs you of the joy of the present moment; consequently, it weakens you into thinking that you are progressing or better preparing yourself for whatever the future holds in this process of worry, but all it does is bring more suffering to your body and designing non-existing images in your mind. This is full-blown ego.

thu — Worry becomes an obsession and it darkens the path to light until the light disappears completely.

In those moments of worry and anxiety, redirect your mind to the present moment by doing something which can occupy your mind, perhaps art or entertainment as examples; for if the mind is occupied on the present moment, on what is actually happening, then there is no room for worry.

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure (free of worry in this case), joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder.

Rainbow colors.

“In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.” ~ Eckhart Tolle; spiritual teacher, author, and public speaker.

Rainbow colors

Close your lovely eyes, look at the rainbow,
Beautiful and cosmic colors–how they grow…??
Left to right, colors of rebirth and peace,
Low to high, where all fear did cease.

The flowers bloom and the rainbow heals,
Warm sensation of nurture my body feels;
The eternal ether of love be the sensation,
Our deep love of no distance the emanation.

Through meditation the soul is free to be,
Profound love within us as vast as the sea;
For true expression is the colors in you found,
For true love in the universe is the Cosmic Sound.

You and I were buried in tender harmony,
That day of fate so wonderful in history;
The Cosmic Law was of one and the same,
Mental heights, mutual growth it became.

~ Asa.

Committed to success.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” ~ Dalai Lama.

“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.

Success in life is not something far-fetched, as our minds would have us believe; but it is something we have to reach by mastering ourselves every single day, because success and the bliss along with it is right around the corner for everybody, but we have to become ready to materialize it from energy into something we humans can actually experience. Take love, for example: True love is a substance which is perfect and that elevates your mind and heart to unlimited heights of existence, and it is already who you truly are; however, you cannot experience love in your physical body unless you experience some human interactions first–like relationships, or living your life without fear, or giving your life to the service of others, etc. etc.

believeinyourdream

Happiness, bliss, is something we already are, something we are by divine nature; however, because we are human beings and bound to space and time, then, in order to experience our own divine nature, our own happiness, there are certain habits and styles of being we must welcome and adopt every single day.

This divine nature is energy, and so we must be vigilant of its vibrations; therefore, our surroundings and choices, our communications and interactions with the world, must be aligned, to the best of our knowledge, with our own divine energy in order to elevate ourselves and not pollute ourselves.

And this is extremely important to have in mind always.

“It’s really important that you feel good. Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you. So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher.” ~ Joe Vitale; American singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

Taming the Beast.

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” ~ Marie Curie; French-Polish physicist and chemist.

“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, lecturer, and poet.

People are born into this world, live through it while aging, then die; however, most only exist, due to letting fear consume them–i.e., fear of aging, fear of an afterlife hell or heaven, fear of embarrassment, fear of failure, etc. etc. Fear is always running wild in the mind of the unwise, untamed, disturbing, without a real understanding of fear’s nature; and exactly this makes the perfect recipe for just existing and not experiencing true, constant happiness.

confusion

Anything and everything is a lesson to be learned, even Hitler’s megalomaniac rampage in history had a purpose in the overall context of humanity’s evolution; furthermore, nothing, absolutely nothing happens by chance in this life, but it is the human mind which creates distances as fears when something unpleasant for the same mind occurs.

Obviously, this is to protect us; however, often it becomes an obsession for the untrained mind, because fear spreads like poison in the blood and distances us from the clear understanding and deep wisdom carried by all tragedies.

Learn to stop your chattering mind from creating chaos and self-destruction, specially in those moments that bring challenges to you and to your loved ones; thus, teach and remind yourself to analyze with wisdom and introspection everything that happens around you that is affecting you in any way.

Do not give in to the ignorant ways of people and of your own wild mind, remain calmed and poised in the face of chaos and disruption. This is not that easy at first, but with faith and by inner strength–all natural traits of self-love–these can be practiced and influenced in your own behaviors, thus eradicating your self-destructive reactions.

The reflection.

“The course of true love never did run smooth.” ~ William Shakespeare, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’

“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.” ~ E.A. Bucchianeri; novelist.

The reflection

I was seeing myself in the reflection,
The world in me was full of tension;
Violence and arguments in constant display,
The outer world’s madness night and day.

Thoughts of anger threatened my sanity,
Beauty and obsession were sheer vanity;
Depression, people’s demands were upon me,
Worries of the future did not let myself be.

Love was a thing I never knew, never understood,
But beyond my self-pity my heart told me I should;
Experiences I had allowed to keep me down,
Past memories and rejections had me bound.

I had neglected you as a friend but you remained,
Your beauty, personality with my anger had stained;
Many moments I had hated myself in my own lunacy,
Poison in my blood was affecting my heart brutally.

One day tears of deep expression in your eyes,
They made me turn and see through my own lies;
There was absolute truth and divinity in your soul,
There was immediate light and truth as my goal.

I sensed my world moving forward into the light,
Not anymore held I society and man to that height;
Love was a new horizon in my life, now bells rang,
You made my reflection beautiful, now angels sang.

~ Asa Rodriguez.

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

The guide.

“The Law of Divine Compensation posits that this is a self-organizing and self-correcting universe: the embryo becomes a baby, the bud becomes a blossom, the acorn becomes an oak tree. Clearly, there is some invisible force that is moving every aspect of reality to its next best expression.” ~ Marianne Williamson; American spiritual teacher, author, and lecturer.

“Accept, then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it; this will miraculously transform your whole life.” ~ Eckhart Tolle; German-born spiritual teacher and author.

Why is people feeling lost…?? Have you noticed this…?? How many are just existing and suffering greatly in life, choosing resistance and fighting life itself; however, this is a vicious circle which brings more suffering and confusion to the mind. Anger brings more anger. Frustration brings more frustration. Stress brings more stress. And it goes on and on in this sea of ignorance.

15-Brandon-Kidwell-Stories-in-Double-Exposure-Portrait-Photographs-www-designstack-co

The great sage of life sees acceptance and feels the connection to everything, whether good or bad, without stressing over it or resisting it; because he knows that life is conscious and always moving without restrain from any flawed human, and so every event has a purpose, and so each person in your life has a reason to be there. And to live a good life, you must not ask why things happen the way they happen, or why this person hurt you or sabotaged you; but you must trust and respect life enough to be wise and patient, then light and understanding will come to you in due time.

Rushing life, becoming violent towards the world and life, embracing anger and frustration, will only lead you to more suffering; furthermore, you are distancing yourself from life, from the light of understanding which brightens all human rationale and true intelligence.

Doing this, is just allowing your ego to rule you; and if the ego rules your life, you age faster, you lose human connection, you become blind to opportunities (spiritual, mental, and all financial opportunities), and your world darkens while you only experience misery in you.

Always aim and focus on higher understanding and wisdom, but do not rush life, accept what is and behave with poise and tolerance.
With wisdom, you follow the light.
