Business mind. The free mind of a human god!

The patient one.

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller; American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

“There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.” ~ Swami Sivananda; Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.

We all understand that the origin of wisdom is not the mind of man, seat of the ego, but the heart, not the heart as in the muscle but the heart as the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, where all true love emerges and fills our cellular make-up.

To rush into things, to prematurely act and make decisions, to say without thinking, to react, is not wisdom from the heart but ego activity from the mind; therefore, when it comes to good decisions and behaviors to better our lives and ourselves, rushing into things is to deny wisdom, it is to purposefully ignore our divine trait of patience.

One must understand that patience is indeed divine, because everything that happens, when it happens, whether you understand it or not at the moment, has a divine purpose, and you must be patient and trust that purpose. Don’t try to understand it or analyze it, because your mind is limited in that regard; just be patient and trust the process.

There is no greater wisdom than to be patient, so breathe, calm your mind, before you rush into something, anything; but specially if it is about some great move or change in your life.

Remember, patience is divine; it means we all have it within ourselves. So, do not look for excuses and say that you cannot use patience or that you don’t have it; because you do have it, but you might just choose to be too ego-centered to reach for that patience within yourself. Know your own nonsense.

Business mind. Self-help life truths.

Lead.

“The reality is that the only way change comes is when you lead by example.” ~ Anne Wojcicki; American entrepreneur, and chief executive officer businesswoman.

“A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.” ~ Joe DiMaggio; American Major League Baseball player.

How many people out there say very wise and beautiful things, have vast opinions about everything, and are always judging and criticizing but never actually do the right thing, never follow their words, their opinions, never lead by example…??

These individuals are guided to think and say by their egos and not by their hearts, because when you are guided by your heart you are guided by truth; and when you are guided by truth you always lead by example because you can understand reality in the world as it is–not as your lazy ego says it is, but as it really is.

The fact is that by sheer thinking and nice wording the only thing stimulated is the intellect, the mind and seat of the ego; but, however, in order to change people and the world, in order to change yourself as well, you must lead by example, you must change your own behaviors, you must do and not just talk about it, and, most importantly, you must challenge yourself and your comfortable ego to real change you can see and do every single day.

Life itself is action, change, progress, and it carries lessons and strength in its change, in its actions, events, moments.

Now, wise people are the same, because deep within themselves they know they are one with life and not separate from it; therefore, wise people understand that human character, integrity, goodness, strength, and all which brings true happiness and success into their lives is a great change in their own behaviors.

Elephants

That is what other people around you will see and from what they will learn: your wiser example.

Anatomy and physiology of life Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

My Eye.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?” ~ Marianne Williamson; American spiritual teacher and author.

The Fire and The Waters

There is a magic well up in the heavens,
Waters of life which carry your image.
There is fire over the waters which burns eternally,
And its flames carry the truth of the waters.
There is a source of life in the soul of man,
And the passion for freedom burns over it.
Man blindly poisons the waters of life
And treads over his own soul.
He blatantly denies life and buries the fire,
He chains himself and ignores the passion.

I am here to see far beyond worldly perception,
The life essence which the heart in fire knows.
I am here to understand more than minds tell,
The freedom essence is the truth in my soul buried.
But where is the rationale of the ordinary man…??
Is it buried under the mud of his ignorant footsteps…??
The fire which fuels his muddy footsteps still burns,
The waters still carry his image of sheer divinity.
My heart cries because true love has vanished,
My heart cries because self-knowledge has gone.

~ Asa.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” ~ William Shakespeare.

My Eye

Over the mud of the past me and the trail of hazy vision

I rode the midnight train with doubt and indecision,

Where she stood as a mirage in the pantheon of My Eye,

Where she tempted my ignorance disguised as noble ally.

The stars and the moon were glowing but I was blind,

Time was the illusion of my impatience blooming in mind;

Man cannot see the vast forest when he sees the lonely tree,

Thought of aging is the obsession which cannot let you be.

My path was marked by my fears and frustrations,

As mankind hates itself and poisons all nations.

I saw it with My Eye as the night fell heavy on my soul,

The anger which distanced me from the universal whole.

As I made way through the station I saw destiny again,

As morning light woke me I saw the enslaving chain;

Then I contemplated myself as I awoke from the illusion,

The self-reflection fell upon the blind mob in confusion.

What is man if not his own master…??

What is destiny if not his creation…??

The darkness and light must be harmony inside.

The awakening in me lies in the visions of My Eye.

~ Asa.

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

Hostage.

“We are dying from over thinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.” ~ Anthony Hopkins; Welsh film, stage, and television actor.

“The head thinks. The heart knows.” ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru; British life coach, speaker, and motivational author.

“The mind is everything,” Buddha says. And that means that whatever you experience and whatever happens in your life is the influence and creation of your own mind.

We have been given a mortal mind to experience this physical life, and so without a mind this is impossible. Your mind makes the world, it allows you to physically exist in the world and interact with it every day.

conscious_universe436_01

But often one tends to believe and trust that the mind should always be in use, when this is rather the opposite of the purpose of life; even though the mind is everything, it is everything physical, but in order to embrace true happiness in life you must trust that which is not physical or which goes beyond it.

For example, the true essence of what we call love is not physical, and you can never find love in buying things, or in having sex, or in getting married, or in enjoying a conversation; these things are ways of connecting with the physical world, but true love goes beyond all these.

In the same sense, you must allow yourself love to flourish within you by not putting all your time and effort on your mind, on your ego. Stop overthinking, living in your head, becoming obsessed with thinking and following thought, because this process poisons you and distances you from the pure heart, from self-love, from God.

Overthinking is praising your own thoughts, it is allowing your thoughts, whether positive or negative, to shape your persona and rule your life, create your present and your future. Accepting life, however, is keeping yourself calmed under stress and also guiding yourself through obstacles and challenges to always come out wiser and successful; and so, to keep yourself calmed under duress, you must connect with your pure heart and silence your nagging mind, your obsessed ego.

Know that the mind, as important as it can be, is just a tool for the physical; therefore, there is more beyond this and you have to embrace it in order to spread love and peace within yourself, because overthinking is the opposite of spreading love and peace within you.

Shine.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” ~ Aristotle.

“Confidence comes from discipline and training.” ~ Robert Kiyosaki; American businessman and author.

Life is a never-ending, beautiful battle of strength and skill, where the strongest among us learn and progress and the weakest among us keep committing the same error and remain always in the same condition. Training your mind, your talents, your character, then is the wealth of the wise and the path to all achievement–i.e., spiritual, physical, financial.

And it is extremely important for the individual and also collective human evolution that we adapt and transform from the inside out, through self-discipline and patience we can then become what we desire with a pure and noble heart.

But do not follow a mere desire popping up in your mind, such desires are fleeting passions and do not carry the emotional strength to drive you daily to your goal.

Follow instead a desire which is nourished daily with patience and clear understanding of a goal, that then transforms you emotionally and endows you with the determination to overcome time, and so persevere through anything, through any obstacle

No interference.

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.” ~ Bruce Lee.

“When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.” ~ Joyce Meyer; Christian author, speaker, and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

This is the great prison of suffering of humanity, and the great tool of elevation of humanity at the same time. Through thinking we all communicate and move in this world of form, and it is so crucial in our everyday living that most people make it a god unto themselves; therefore, they praise the content of their thoughts–i.e., all the data, the beliefs, the ideas, the memories, the cultural background, and so on and so forth. This strengthens the illusion of thought being their true nature, this transforms people into automatons, which are basically artificial beings acting in a monotonous, routine manner, without active intelligence.

Now, thinking and analyzing things carefully is extremely important, specially for intellectual thinkers like myself and others; however, thinking may become an obsession where we dwell on memories and future visions, where we live with regret and stress, and where our whole perspective of ourselves and of life comes from thought. This, whether you know it or not, contradicts the heart of life; because life is not moved by thought, but life is moved by the hearts and good intentions of people which act on their own paths.

You see, real love makes the world progress, build, innovate, into the spiritual, mental, and financial aspects; and so, real love then, must be action.

While you sit and think, ponder your life and your next move, time passes and opportunities go by like dreams at night. While you sit and think, fears appear, images of reality get distorted, you experience regret or other forms of stress and fear in your mind/the ego.
The pure heart never experiences these by itself, but is always thought which brings the weight upon the heart; therefore, is always thought the one which creates more problems than solutions if we allow it to do so in every situation we encounter.

It is wise to understand then that thought, or thinking, might be left alone at times, so you can build true and direct communication with your own heart, pray in it, absorb the wisdom, and renew yourself.

Perfect tune.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

“To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.” ~ Pauline Hanson; Australian politician and founder.

Harmony is living the moment with acceptance, not letting thoughts of negativity and ignorance rule your life, not letting other people rule your life. We all know that there is a lack of harmony in the world today, only a few of us really live in harmony and understand that this condition is the condition of the soul, of the whole universe.

Harmony does not just mean the absence of physical violence, of course. People all over the world punish themselves every day without realizing it, by engaging with stressful situations and not watching their inner states, by being angry at others, by rejecting true love, by putting down others, by neglecting themselves, etc.

This is the opposite of harmony, the opposite of getting in touch with their own souls and embracing self-love.

Wisdom is seeing through all these things I just mentioned and accepting that it is what it is, accepting that you cannot change the world by force or by being angry with it; but, however, you can embrace harmony and peace within yourself by living based on truth and nobility, by uniting thought, word, and action into pure love which you can then expand onto others.

Worry about finding harmony in you. As Buddha puts it, “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

The free mind of a human god!

Forged extraordinary.

“Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.” ~ B. R. Ambedkar; Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer.

As human beings, we begin to understand the depth of life once we mature or our minds mature, or so we should. It is then internal evolution the one which facilitates the greatness of the human spirit through our mental and physical expressions.

“The Wisdom of The Gods”

In spite of what our ignorant society claims, that an adult is over 21 or around such age, that an adult is the one that can drive a car, that an adult is this and that in the grandiose and illogical norms built today, an adult is really beyond all that pitiful nonsense; because, if logically defined, an adult is a person who lives constantly great integrity based on accepting, respecting, and deeply knowing his own human condition–all this cemented within his own conscious awareness as habits and ways of living, following honest and practical principles which may guide him/her into higher levels of conscious growth and more profound understanding of him/herself and others.

As a consequence of this, we have the realization of ‘The wisdom of the gods’: The inexhaustible wisdom we all have within us beyond the thought and the flesh we carry around, beyond the physical aspects of all happenings and the egotistical perspectives and opinions we may have built.

As human beings we live under Universal Law, whether we believe in it or not, and whether we know it or not; and is this perfect and all-knowing Law that determines the degree of adulthood we have reached through the reactions we choose to adopt when challenges arise.
But, in the ignorant and egoistical attempt to control life, the ones that believe maturity and wisdom comes with age and with sheer desire of the mortal mind, are the ones that suffer the most–through rushing into relationships at any age, through believing that they always make the best choices based on their high education and intellectual prowess, through believing life and society owes them something for having lived and worked hard for a very long time, through not accepting that times and the way the world works change and demand a new adaptation of the human mind, through believing they are always in the right because they lived the toughest experiences in life.

There is no excuse for pursuing the world and forgetting the wisdom which is character of a god, because that is like asking and nagging yourself to get a car without knowing and wanting to learn how to drive it. It is pointless. In the same sense, life is about facing challenges and growing in wisdom, elevating yourself, learning or knowing how to drive the car.
If you don’t learn how to drive properly, what’s the point in having it…?? Crashing over and over again…??

Opposite friends.

“The Mind-Heart Struggle.”

Quite often in our lives we must deal with pressure and decision-making processes, but this is not easy because we must juggle work life, family life, our-type-of-society life, deeply personal life as inner struggles, and many more aspects of our unique daily living which throw challenges at us. So, many times we find ourselves pinned against a wall, sort of speak.

We must decide what to do in certain situations, but at the same time there is something nagging within us that we do not recognize; then it feels like a dark, heavy cloud, because we know in our minds a solution or a way to direct our decision, but there is also something else telling us something different or making us worried about the decision our minds have made. And thus sometimes wrong decisions can be made. This is the Mind-Heart Struggle we all go through at some point in our lives, specially when big decisions have to be made.

We must use wisdom for these big decisions, not just information or knowledge about the matter in question, but inner wisdom which is what our intuition and Infinite Intelligence can only give us. But you must understand that the wisdom in you, which comes from intuition and Infinite Intelligence like above-mentioned, does not cave or respond to pressure like your flawed conscious mind does, because the wisdom flowing in your subconscious follows only its own process. It’s own process being wise, being patience and time.

Sometimes we need to relax our anxious conscious minds and take some time to let the subconscious go through its own process. It is like when great artists receive great, genius ideas for a masterpiece; genius comes, great ideas come to them after sleeping on a problem or allowing certain time to pass.

I understand that quite often this is not the way we do things, humans tend to rush important decisions, specially when there is passion or anger involved; but, however, from my own experience and studies of the subconscious, I know this is paramount when dealing with very important decisions in my life.

The Struggle within

Important decisions have to be made from a point of love–and by love I do not mean romantic love, but I mean honesty and love for the matter we are trying to resolve or decide. One must be patient and let the mind and heart reach the same sensation or feeling within you, if they are opposites in this, then, you will probably end up with problems and suffering consequences.

Everything in our lives must be harmonious to be truly successful, and even though this is not easy there has to be coherence in the decisions we consider important in our lives. The heart and the mind have been given to us not to be opposites and confuse us (we choose to confuse ourselves out of ignorance), but they have been given to us to guide us into the same direction. Into bliss.

Unbreakable spirit.

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.” ~ Benjamin Franklin; Founding Father of The United States, political theorist, Freemason, politician, printer, author, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat.

The human spirit is the hidden mystery for the ones that dwell in fear and confusion, but for the ones that dwell in faith and persistence there is a bright light that is guiding our paths, and even if the path looks dark one must always keep looking at the bright light at a distance. If we stop looking at this brilliant light or deviate our course just one inch, then, the outcomes of our experience are bound to differ and we may not enjoy the journey of our path.

This is why the only unique way to reach success on anything great in life is to focus upon this brilliant light, our goals and dreams, through persistence. Persisting is remaining focused and targeted upon our heart’s innermost desire, walking the path no matter the obstacles and challenges we may encounter. But that is just the key: Walking the path, not running. If we run and allow excitement or anxiety to overwhelm us, then our minds will become obfuscated and stressed, thus we will quit; however, by walking you develop patience in your journey, your mind expands in understanding and resilience, you develop wisdom, and you enjoy every moment of this wonderful journey as well.

Never lose faith in your path or yourself. There is a higher reason, perhaps one you may not understand at the moment, for everything to happen the way it happens. Life is building you stronger, but you need to allow it to do so through persistence and faith. Give it time.

“The Only Path To Success Is Persistence”

All of us have dreams and goals, the expansion of our talents, the sharing of our love, the need to reach out and develop in this world. This is success, the bliss taking over our bodies and making us soar through the skies, the strong feeling of value and human identity in us, and the recognition as valuable human beings in our society; but, we must understand, success is not a destination, thus you cannot wait for success or wait to have success whenever you reach your goal.
Success is a journey you have to enjoy daily, otherwise it can become an illusion you’ll never reach. Do not let your ego trick you in this.
You must enjoy every moment you are alive and awake, through the good and the bad times; furthermore, this is success–a constant feeling in your heart and mind. And you can only feel success within you if you maintain yourself busy towards a goal or goals (whatever those might be for you). It is the persistence, and specifically the persistence through hard times, the one that will make sure you are feeling successful.
If you do not have goals and dreams, no matter your age, your mind will wither and you will become miserable, and emanate that misery onto others. This is the opposite of success, like fear is the opposite of love.
Be persistent, no matter your race, culture, or where you were born, because it is the only path to true success.
A Quitter Never Wins!
A Winner Never Quits!
