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

The Watcher.

“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, poet, and lecturer.

“I can have peace of mind only when I forgive rather than judge.” ~ Gerald Jampolsky; psychiatrist, health advocate, businessman, educator, and author.

Peace is synonymous with true love and real strength, with wisdom and tranquility during challenging times; when the mind is overly excited about something, overwhelmed with stress, swallowed by anger, and poisoned by all fear, the mind cannot align with the heart and so is taken by the ego, and so it makes mistakes and creates suffering.

When you can watch your mind and reflect over your thoughts, whether those are negative or positive, then you become better to what you were before in every way, your heart becomes purified and strong for the challenges of life, because now you are mastering yourself and so you become a Buddha or a Christ unto yourself.

Why allow your mind to be carried away by poisonous people around you…?? Why let your body get swallowed and overcome by all sorts of tensions and destructive behaviors…?? Why all these pressures when you can watch your own mind and see that it remains peaceful despite the bad energy of others and the chaos of the environment…??

Sure it is an effort, difficult at first, to constantly watch your mind and avoid situations and people that can rob you of mental peace; but, however, think it through, isn’t it worth to guide yourself and your loved ones to constant and pure happiness, to have the confidence to be unique and achieve your heartfelt goals in life…??What inevitably awaits for you in a mind that is not peaceful, is fear and all stress, lack of self-confidence and the trauma to your body which creates all illnesses. This is lack of self-love.

If you are one of those unwise people in the world that believes that peace of mind is weakness, you should really analyze what the meaning of universal love is, because love is the only constant reality–not romantic love, but beyond that.

The rest is the illusion the ignorant mind creates.

The free mind of a human god!

The purest light.

“You have to find out what meditation is. It is a most extraordinary thing to know what meditation is–not how to meditate, not the system, not the practice, but the content of meditation. To be in the meditative mood and to go into that meditation requires a very generous mind, a mind that has no border, a mind that is not caught in the process of time. A mind that has not committed itself to anything, to any activity, to any thought, to any dogma, to any family, to any name–it is only such a mind that can be generous; and it is only such a mind that can begin to understand the depth, the beauty and the extraordinary loveliness of meditation.” ~ Jiddu Khrisnamurti.

“You cannot meditate if you are ambitious–you may play with the idea of meditation. You your mind is authority-ridden, bound by tradition, accepting, following, you will never know what it is to meditate on this extraordinary beauty if you’re ambitious.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; Indian philosopher, public speaker, educator, and writer.

Meditation

Meditation is the flowering of the human spirit through inner attention on what is, it is nature at its purest, it is the place where man, or the form of man, does not exist because consciousness is free from thoughts and all ignorance. Meditation gives the serious meditator strong self-discipline which works in all aspects of his life. Meditation boosts emotional and intellectual intelligence to understand the depth of life. Meditation gives one the confidence and strength to be unique and a light unto oneself and unto others.

Humankind lives on the edge, on the edge of stressful and violent thoughts all day–anger, confusion opinion, gossip, embarrassment, shame, and all fears–which control people’s whole existence and interaction with the world around them. There is no wisdom in the things they do, thus there is not any deep understanding and not any insight.

The only condition in man which brings light to the chaos may be found inwardly and not outwardly, because outwardly there is nothing but the illusion of your beliefs, of your rebellions, of your violence, of your anger, of your stress, and so on and so forth.

The spirit of the human being then is trapped in this thought-form which controls man, and in order to be freed there must be communion with it–i.e., man must get in direct touch or communication with his own spirit through the sacred silence of his mind, through inner contemplation of what is.

And what is, that substance of pure consciousness which is all wisdom and love, transforms human thought once meditation is adopted, it transforms the whole being–via confidence, strength, wisdom, self-discipline, and via the elevation of the mind in all aspects.

Ambition then is the one opposite of all meditation, all desire for material gain which becomes an obsession when man’s life is seeing through the eyes of ambition; because ambition robs the mind of freedom to express its godly nature, and it fills the mind with desire for outward things, events, and people.

Practice inner contemplation without any ambition whatsoever and you shall see your light emerging and taking over your whole being, thus you shall attract opportunities for growth in all aspects of your life, as spiritual, mental and financial, people will see you shine and will be attracted to your light.

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

Anger (Part 1)

“Stop trying to leave, and you will arrive. Stop seeking, and you will find. Stop running away, and you will be found.” ~ Lao Tzu.

“The best fighter is never angry.” ~ Lao Tzu.

—————————————————————————————————————————-

Anger (Part 1)

Anger seems to poison most people in the world, not just violent outbursts of anger but, even worse, intense mental anger which spreads throughout the whole body and boils the blood and corrupts the nervous and immune systems (as well as the other systems of the body). This anger always provokes frustration and sadness or depression afterwards, it weakens us and it makes us darken our own energy, the aura around the heart gets depleted and we may suffer serious mental and health problems; however, this sometimes does not occur in our bodies right away, but it hides like cancer, and as we grow we get high blood pressure and we develop certain anomalies, and we might even get serious diseases like cancer.

You must understand that our human body works based on the energy which runs though it all day and night, and we cannot develop bliss or happiness if that energy is polluted and dark; that is, no matter what you do and how good of a person you are, if that energy running through you is poisoned and darkened by anger then you will live stressed and frustrated, and be a host for all kinds of diseases. And people who live stressed and frustrated, with diseases infesting their body, cannot embrace happiness, never, no matter who they are or what they do.

Control in those moments when you feel anger rising in you is key, whenever you feel that heat rushing through you, then you must stop yourself when that happens, don’t follow your thoughts of anger either, they will be the first to poison your body as they create all your emotions.
Most of the time anger happens because we have an image in our minds of ourselves or of what we do, or of what we believe, and someone else might attack that image we have built in our egos; also it happens because we resist change and do not let life or even other people around us disturb our comfortable egos.
There is a sick pleasure in this ignorance. This is indeed self-destruction. Evil done unto ourselves.

Anger can truly ruin your life without you even knowing it. Anger works smoothly most of the time, because everything the ego does is smooth and subconscious at first, we are not fully aware of our reactions and of the ignorant processes of our thinking.
There is strength and divinity in controlling one’s thoughts and emotions, specially of anger.

Be patient and wise.

Think about yourself and not about revenge words or thoughts or actions. Remember, by revenge thoughts, words or actions you are really distancing yourself from love and all beauty, you are poisoning your heart and mind.

The free mind of a human god!

Quintessence.

“And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.” ~ Plato; Greek educator and philosopher.

Life, as built by the common man and their narrow mind, is a myriad of confusion and ups and downs, unhealthy habits and misery, and so all of us try to do the best we can; therefore, we try to find happiness and deeper connections in the things we do and in other people surrounding us. Challenges rise and we either face them or not; but to face them sometimes we need to understand our inner strengths and the light we are within, such which knows no fear and which is all confidence and might.

If we inquire within ourselves and discover this light, we wake up from the deep slumber our societies are all about, so we begin our individual process of Awakening.

As one becomes awakened, the first symptom or mental elevation that one notices is the desire for knowledge, and also, very pronounced as well, the experience of bliss in the simpler things of life, like waking up early, walking the dog, going to work, or walking through nature.

All this and more makes you aware of yourself and of your environment, and that process alone is the soul intensifying itself through your journey, through the rich experiences of your personal awakening. This is something we recognize in the moment, but not always understand. The full recognition and understanding comes with deep meditation practices.

But the soul itself is the one which is most affected by the life we choose to lead, including our deep-rooted beliefs and our perceptions; for the soul is the essence that opens the portal between our consciousness (or spirit) and our physical bodies (including the mind).

When our minds suffer because of mental conflict or wrong beliefs that the ego creates, or even because we clash or differ with people we care about, we feel a little neglected, alone, or even dejected spiritually, down or depressed, and so we may fall into bad eating habits, drugs, religious fanaticism, violent behaviors, etc. etc.; therefore, this can be conceptualized as the soul “hurting” or “being mistreated by us,” “detaching a little from our pain.”

This knowledge, if remembered, may aid us in the elevation of our minds, knowing what happens to us, and within us, as we journey along our challenging lives.

Self-help life truths.

The thorn we allow.

“When we have painful memories from hurting experiences, we may feel justified in holding on to the resentment. But resentment is corrosive. It doesn’t affect the person we feel anger toward, it destroys the host.” ~ Susan L. Taylor; American editor, writer, and journalist.

Painful memories

Memories, specially painful ones, have the power to arrest our bodies, even our clear thinking; however, they only hold that power if we allow them to, because memories are just thoughts which somehow have stayed with us throughout our lives, and thought is always an entity we can watch.

Quite often, we go ahead and entertain painful memories because deep inside we like to feel like victims or feel that somehow if we remind ourselves of the pain we’d be less guilty, or, even worse, through reliving painful memories the ego manifests that we deserve our guilt.

This is getting some form of twisted pleasure from feeling guilt and blaming ourselves and carrying that weight on us over and over again–i.e., a sort of masochism, and certainly ignorance.

And, as we all know, self-blame is one of the most toxic forms of emotional abuse. It amplifies our perceived inadequacies, whether real or imagined, and paralyzes us before we can even begin to move forward. And what is even worse, because it poisons your body and causes all kinds of tension, and it changes your mood and the vibrational state of your entire body, your loved ones and all people you come in contact with are affected too.

As Buddha wisely said: “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.”
Painful memories are always there; but you can accept them and move on, do not engage with them as they emerge; or you can allow them to make you suffer and cripple your emotional body while affecting you and others you love.
Your life.
Your choice.

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

The Master Within.

“Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There’s going to be stress in life, but it’s your choice whether you let it affect you or not.” ~ Valerie Bertinelli; American actress.

As Buddha puts it, “What you think, you become.“

Life cannot be neglected, whatever happens around you is something which at some level has a reason and a hidden lesson–from the smallest cut while shaving to the loss of a dear person. Everything is meant to awake you, to help you grow and understand something. To the wise men among us, details tell us the next step to take and what is happening; however, as human beings we have been also endowed with the power to choose which direction to go next, which thought to entertain, which feeling to create and follow–i.e.,anger, joy, sadness, passion, etc. etc..

Even though life may throw at us obstacles and challenges, and ignorant people that may upset us or try to hurt us, What we Think, We Become; so, if we think, whatever we think, we should take responsibility for what we have become and chosen to think and feel in any given situation, no matter what happens around us.

In today’s world, people search for rich interaction with others and expect to find good moments and happiness there, but happiness, true happiness, is not found in anybody you interact with or in anything you do. Happiness is a natural state of consciousness, there is no reason for it, it just is, like the essence of love–i.e., it flows eternally, it is peace and has no special qualities, it is refreshing and wise in all matters of understanding.
Happiness or bliss is something you embrace within yourself and take with you wherever you go; therefore, if you have a good moment with friends or if you do not, if you have a good moment at work or if you do not, does not matter who did what to get you upset, is always about you. You choose to embrace happiness or not, you choose to let people and events affect you or not.

Your world is within, not without; so you must take responsibility for how you feel and not blame police, friends, family, a government, and so on and so forth.
Make sure you understand that the world and the interaction you have with people is a reflection of your mental state. If you find something annoying or depressing, it is your own fault and not the outside world, you chose to feel like that.

It is difficult to control your thoughts of depression and anger towards the stupid society we live in, I know this; but, however, it is a must to attend to yourself and comprehend that you are always in control of your mood, either of your misery or happiness.

And to embrace happiness, specially when your life does not go the way you want it to go, do not deviate your thoughts, do not allow your attention to go towards what is going wrong in your life and stay in misery there, playing the victim game; but to embrace and choose happiness above all else focus on your inner self, take care of it, stop negative self-talk and all negative thought from poisoning you, become a leader and a master of yourself and of how you feel.

Try this and do not give up!

Harmonious sync

“I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight So keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song – The song from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; American poet and educator.

It is conducive to a higher development in the evolution of the human mind when we associate and socialize with like-minded individuals. This not only help us to grow as human beings but it also creates harmony and synchronization of our spiritual vitality or energies; it is the vibration of the same frequencies that makes us united at an emotional level, and, beyond that, it raises both our vibrations because we are at the same level of vibration rate, learning from each other, without obstacles and without major conflict in the interaction of two human beings..

The more time you spend with people more at your level of understanding and vibration, the more blissful your life will become; because what opposes bliss in the human being is resistance to change your beliefs and thoughts, your attitudes and behaviors, and when you are in tune with one another you both vibe the same frequency and do not resist change but grow together as two souls merged into one.

Strive for a friendship in perfect synchronization.

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

The well-oiled machine

“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.

“The well-oiled Machine“

Far away my land of dreams expands my very human soul,

Where I was born and my heart beats for the terrain whole.

The rich earth beneath my naked feet designs the extensive harvest,

The mountains supply the water, the cool shade, the precious garnet,

The sky is blue and conscious of its everlasting majesty,

The birds sing to delight my people beyond all tragedy.

My mind expresses itself through my daily behavior,

My soul rules my mind, it expresses itself as my savior;

For the right mental expression I require higher elevation,

Knowledge, truth, health, love, the right sensation.

My body is the connection to my very vitality,

I must eat healthy and correct my mentality.

Every day I must act godly and see my body as a temple,

Powerful, incorruptible, poised, well-nourished, gentle.

There are poisons which kill the earth,

There are temptations since birth;

Of the earth my being must protect its merits,

Of my mind and body respect its divine inherence.
