Mastermind (PART 2)

“To  be  effective,  leaders  must  have  the  qualities  and  attitudes  essential  to  work  in  a  group  setting.”   ~ Meg  Whitman;  American  business  executive,  political  activist  and  donor.


This is PART 2 of a short series of blogs on Mastermind  Leadership from a book I am writing, titled:  “Inner Wealth.  Outer Wealth.,” which deals with the spiritual, mental, and physical processes of all success achievement in life.


 

–Earlier, I talked about the core of mastermind and the Individual Mastermind.

I mentioned that Leadership  is  the  association  of  energies  living  in  your  consciousness  to  self-discipline  your  mortal  mind  and  lead  your  absolute  focus  to  target  in  spite  of  space  and  time  anomalies.  The  value  of  leadership  brings  the  strength  and  structure  of  the  mastermind  you  need  to  develop  your  idea  from  thought-form  into  actual  dynamic  delivery,  and  this  entails  as  well  the  mastermind  alliance  with  other  people  which  carry  the  same  ambition  and  intention.  This blog talks about then Collective Mastermind.

These  are  some  specific  thoughts  following  this  matter:

     1)  When  you  further  expand  your  mastermind  in  the  search  for  others  to  join  you,  do  not  settle  for  others  just  because  they  are  friends  or  family,  or  because  they  just  need  to  do  something  with  their  own  lives;  but,  instead  respect  your  own  vision  and  commitment  by  associating  with  people  which  shares  exactly  the  same  core  values  and  driving  force  you  do,  no  less  than  the  best  is  required  for  success.  This  might  seem  strict  and  cold,  but  the  reason  behind  this  rigorous  process  is  based  on  pure  excellence,  quality,  emotional  connection,  creative  management  of  the  vision  you  have  fashioned,  and  the  attraction  of  that  success  you  are  looking  for.  You  have  designed  your  vision  of  success  with  careful  effort  and  profound  love,  so  do  not  entrust  your  vision  to  just  anybody.  And  I  always  say  to  myself,  “Good  enough  just  doesn’t  cut  it,  excellence  does.”

 

     2)  When  you  choose  or  locate  the  people  you  will  be  talking  into  join  you,  you  must  transform  yourself  in  the  most  passionate  and  driven,  energetic  and  committed  person  you  know,  because  this  will  create  the  best  inner  and  outer  atmosphere  to  convey  your  thoughts  and  intentions  into  people,  this  process  will  also  keep  you  self-motivated  and  ready  to  transfer  that  value  from  within  you  into  the  mastermind  group.  People  respond  to  great  emotional  content  and  to  the  fulfilled  need  of  feeling  important,  so  your  job  is  to  make  them  feel  they  can  bring  expertise  and  value  (a  feeling  of  importance  within  themselves)  through  the  emotional  content  in  your  delivered  speech.

 

     3)  Believe  it  or  not,  the  way  you  dress  and  articulate  your  thoughts  matter,  so  when  you  talk  about  your  vision  with  yourself  and  with  others  you  need  to  feel  like  you  are  honoring  those  thoughts  and  ideas.  People  need  to  feel  this  commitment  as  well,  and  not  just  feel  it  but  become  part  of  this  noble  and  ambitious  process.  The  way  you  talk  and  dress  gives  that  needed  boost  of  serious  mental  planning  and  steely  determination  to  your  vision  before  yourself  and  others.  Always  remember,  carry  yourself  and  your  speech  with  good  pride  and  deep  love,  and  people  will  be  attracted  to  your  ideas  and  vision  like  some  sort  of  magic.

 

     4)  Before  you  deliver  your  presentation  or  speech  to  people,  make  sure  you  have  analyzed  and  planned  specifically  what  they  will  be  getting  in  return  for  their  alliance  with  you.  It  could  be  some  promotional  tool,  some  percentage  incentive,  some  level  partnership,  some  boost  to  their  sales,  or  even  some  fixed  payment;  but  whatever  it  is,  be  precise  and  put  attention  to  detail,  and  most  importantly  make  sure  you  are  clear  on  your  purpose  to  create  value  for  them.  Like  I  said  before,  nobody  does  anything  for  free;  whether  emotional  or  mental  gain,  whether  material  or  spiritual  gain,  it  is  your  main  job  to  produce  the  best  exchange  in  your  mastermind  group  as  the  excellent  leader  you  need  to  be.  Extraordinary  success  calls  only  upon  extraordinary  people;  therefore,  you  must  breathe  and  live  this  each  day  with  your  whole  heart  and  with  your  whole  mind.

 

     5)  Engage  people  with  great  mastery  (believe  in  yourself,  in  the  unique  persona  beyond  your  intellect),  find  whatever  makes  you  unique  and  practice  it,  own  it  and  nourish  it,  even  if  you  do  not  think  is  attractive  enough.  See,  in  this  day  and  age,  people,  even  good  and  smart  people,  behave  like  drones,  live  in  fear  and  embarrassment  to  be  truly  unique,  always  reciting  ideas  and  speeches  from  memory  and  following  others  in  the  way  they  do  things;  however,  the  fact  stands  on  its  own,  if  you  are  to  innovate  or  propose  any  venture  at  all  towards  success,  then,  it  must  be  yours,  and  only  yours,  uniquely  you,  emotional  you,  your  very  presence,  your  very  energy,  and  make  it  loud  and  known  to  people.  This  is  how  you  stand  out  from  the  ordinary  crowd,  and  this  is  your  ticket  to  all  success  in  life—i.e.,  financial,  mental,  and  spiritual  success.  Never  be  afraid  to  emanate  your  spiritual  strength  and  emotional  power  onto  others,  because  unleashing  this  makes  you  truly  unique  and  worth  the  time  of  others,  because  unleashing  this  makes  you  powerful  and  valuable  in  a  society  which  really  lacks  uniqueness  and  originality. 

Furthermore,  you  want  to  spread  real  love  and  motivate  others  into  being  their  very  best??  There  is  only  one  authentic  way  to  do  it,  the  rest  is  just  the  illusion  of  the  ego  to  make  you  feel  good  about  yourself.  The  only  way  to  help  others  see  their  own  value  and  power  is  through  your  own  winning  attitude,  through  unleashing  your  own  energy,  and  through  being  really  proud  and  loud  and  celebrating  that  with  them  (because  this  process  is  highly  contagious, it elevates the human spirit).

th
Unlock and elevate the greatest human asset in business and in all other aspects of your life, the human spirit.  That is where the power to everything lies.

 

6)  Once  you  have  your  partners  or  people  joining  you,  or  interested  deeply  in  your  ideas,  you  must  arrange  to  meet  regularly  (whether  in  person,  by  phone,  by  mail,  or  by  social  network,  depends  on  your  business  and  situation).  But,  and  I  cannot  stress  this  enough,  whatever  your  situation  is  or  style  of  communication  in  the  new  relationship,  the  mastermind  process  has  to  be  based  on  harmony  and  profound  connection,  and  you  as  a  good  leader  must  build  very  powerful  emotional  content  at  a  slow  pace,  that  means  trust  and  value  through  time  and  effort;  and  that  is,  people  may  intellectually  agree  and  be  on  your  side,  but  it  is  not  intellect  what  moves  people  to  connect  deeply  and  work  passionately  (and  stay  on  a  definite  goal),  but  emotions  rule  over  intellect,  and  so  emotions  build  through  time  and  persistence.  Do  not  rush  deeper  emotional  connection,  for  the  greatest  and  most  meaningful  things  in  life  are  born  out  of  the  heart  and  not  out  of  the  intellect—i.e.,  the  intellect  is  an  important  tool  to  build,  yes,  but  the  heart  is  the  powerful  magic  which  creates  greatness  in  the  world. 

So,  ask  yourself,  “What  do  I  want  in  my  world—to  achieve  the  acceptable  or  to  achieve  true  greatness…??  If  your  answer  is  to  achieve  true  greatness,  then  do  not  rush  the  process  but  be  persistent  in  your  determination.  Remember,  whether  as  a  businessman  or  as  lover,  this  is  the  universal  rule  to  be  truly  great  and  extraordinary. 

 

7)  Since  at  this  time  you  have  already  committed  yourself  100%  upon  reaching  the  best  mastermind  to  success,  then  you  have  committed  yourself  100%  to  step  into  the  shoes  of  a  true  leader,  for  they  are  both  two  sides  of  the  same  coin;  for  this,  you  will  have  to  listen  and  acknowledge  the  ideas  and  enthusiasm  of  the  people  who  have  joined  you,  even  if  the  ideas  or  opinions  you  listen  to  are  not  highly  creative  or  specially  tailored  to  your  vision.  Never  dismiss,  ignore,  or  humiliate  someone’s  ideas  or  opinions;  because  this  is  one  of  the  big  reasons  why  people  never  truly  succeed,  why  there  are  divorces,  why  there  are  different  problems  in  the  world  today.  As  a  true  and  powerful  leader,  you  must  not  feed  your  ego  in  feeling  yourself  superior  in  any  way,  even  if  your  vision  and  ideas  are  great  and  your  talents  are  vast;  like  so,  a  true  and  powerful  leader  leads  others  to  feel  themselves  important  and  valued  within  the  scope  of  their  individual  capacities. 

In  my  own  experience,  I  have  learned  to  see  beyond  my  own  creative  talents,  beyond  my  own  ego,  to  understand  and  acknowledge  the  talents  of  others;  furthermore,  I  admit  this  is  a  constant  process  in  me,  not  that  easy  to  maintain,  but  if  you  want  others  to  feel  comfortable  around  you  and  work  by  your  side,  then,  there  is  no  other  way.  Human  beings  accomplish  more  and  greater  things  when  they  work  together  towards  the  same  goal. 


Tomorrow, PART 3 of Mastermind Leadership, about mastermind persistence and its greater organization.

The Best.

  The Best

 

As the deep and powerful reds of the sunset at first light

And the incredible moonlight tucking the dozy wink,

It fills the essence of my cells and mind with such delight,

It becomes my best thoughts and intentions as I deeply think.

 

Beyond the deluded starlight and ill impersonations of others,

It remains rebellious and unique in my gaze pure and profound;

Beyond the narrow highway of provocation of my brothers,

It increases in brilliance and wisdom far passed the earthbound.

 

I just need to feel that I am alive and swimming in the very bliss,

For my soul and heart knows I am here to conquer the untamed creature.

Life is both the field of truth and the narrow path bordering the abyss,

It can be the darkest night or the lightest day and greatest teacher.

 

The sights and sounds of the very day can be the sharpest knife,

The dreams and visions of the night can rob me of healthy rest;

But that is the great purpose of living the challenging life,

To find the truth behind all the hurts to finally become the best.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

The most important choice.

 

The most important choice still is yours to make,

To reach all great success and happiness in life,

Is not confined to your voice or to the action you take,

But it is in the magic beyond all strife.

 

Some choose good looks and some skills for sport,

Some choose vast wealth and some a sense of duty;

But I enjoy powerful imagination and all that sort,

You know me, all my being is about creating beauty.

 

Which one of those would you choose before birth…??

Good looks are fine but may increase your self-admiration.

Skills for sport are great but limited to this earth.

Vast wealth does not work for me, I want spiritual elevation.

 

See, I wanted all, so I fought like a lion before birth for this:

I fought for unlimited imagination because it is the greatest power,

Our very existence and the natural magic which creates all bliss,

The deep sea, the intensity of the skies, the blooming of the flower.

The free mind of a human god!

The substance of the unique.

“The speaker is not important at all; what is important is for you to find out these things for yourself, so that you are free and not second-hand human beings.  You must look to find out, to find out whether or not it is possible for the mind to be completely and totally free of this violence, pride and arrogance, and so come upon a different quality altogether.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; philosopher, public speaker and writer.


 

     Human society, because of fear and confusion and the overall ignorance of the intellectual and limited ego, has created a myriad of institutions and philosophies to a false sense of freedom and security–i.e., religions and the blasphemous divine authority given to  its mediocre men, governments with no real human values and equality for all, business enterprises which only seek to grow richer and more powerful sacrificing the health and suffering of the poor bastards who buy their products, the military which promotes greed of power and vast death of human beings dressed in elegant suits of patriotic pride and noble pursuits of human growth, and so on and so forth.

And through all this ordeal there is the mind of the ordinary, everyday man, which not only sees freedom and security in all this nonsense but also finds a false sense of human individual and collective growth; however, this is the grand crystal illusion of society which prevents all freedom and peace from ever growing, and, most importantly, which veils the truth, distances the truth and distorts facts.  Freedom and love, all peace and individuality of expression is found within you, literally within you, and the illusion is that people follow these institutions like their masters and expect to find all harmony in the world by looking for it on the outside.  The world, the universe, the whole cosmos, was created from the inside of the entity essence of THE ALL, nothing was ever created from without.  The plants are born from the seed within the earth, not from without.  So, why would anybody that believes himself intelligent and rational look for peace and freedom, for love and security outside of himself…?? 

wisdomspiritual

     See, the core problem here is not that people look for these things on the outside, but it is that they truly believe this is the solution to all the problems in their lives; so, people look for real love in relationships with somebody else, people look for guidance in politicians which offer a good speech and a good personality, people look for their own value and identity in what they do, people follow the rich like they are full of wisdom and as role models to a better persona, etc.

As human beings we must understand that which is intelligent and rational for our own unique development, that to follow others and fall in their nice traps, it does not matter how nice they are and how good-intentioned they may seem to you, creates a distance between your mind and your heart, or between your intellect and your strong spirit of intuition.  This is conducive to wreaking chaos and all distress in your mind, in your views of yourself and your life, because you have been created from the center of your being, from your heart, the very seed of your existent organism, from that essence which is within the very core of your cellular make-up; so, to believe you will find all you need outside of yourself by following others and expecting others to guide you is literally madness, which is, obviously, why the world is what you see today.

     Let intuition guide you and strengthen you by eliminating the fear and confusion of your mind, but first make sure you have quieted your thoughts by not listening to others and so reacting to what they say and think; so, make sure you are well-disciplined in this, because a mind that is rogue and volatile covers the whisper of all intuition.

Samadhi

 


“SAMADHI”

The divine darkness of my mind ripples and flows,
Never-ending vastness, eternal ocean of the Soul,
Such universe of universes and portal into Brahman,
Which does not represent a past or a future itself,
Which does not divide and conquer my foes of old,
Where the pendulum of pleasure and pain vanishes,
Where happiness and depression has no meaning.
And there is no wake or sleep, no movement or stillness,
No delusion of ill thought and roused emotion;
However the smoothness and the dynamic ether,
It is just the allowance of being of what is being,
The essence of freedom and liberation from hues,
From forms, from comparison, from symmetry,
From the chains of lone-perception and trick-belief.

The most profound recesses of my mind fall into Brahman,
Such God be the eternal ocean of the Atman, the Soul,
Like raindrops into the vastest ocean, one is all, all is one;
By branching out the mind touches one drop of the ocean,
And the ocean be me for there is no body-mind, two are one.
The ego cannot poison the waters, it cannot soil the existence.
But the unity is light and yet it has no qualities of light as such.
But the darkness is the light and they are no opposites.
Where is the world of man…??  Where is the misery of man…??
Where is the aging universe…??  And who took it away…??
What has happened to my beliefs, preoccupations, needs…??
All the worries and illnesses have become one with me,
There lies no reserve or disorder, no confusion or riot within;
I have been revived into undying peace, which is Real Love
Beyond the senses of man, beyond such Mara the Tempter.
This is what they call the ultimate reality!  Ultimate beauty
Far beyond the known thoughts, emotions, and actions of man!

Here is Brahman, of no time and space, of no dogma and creed,
Endless joy and peace which has given ability to a body-mind
To know Being, to see beyond the illusion of the senses.
Nothing is separate from me and nothing can affect me,
The illumined no longer sees the limitation, the end,
This mystical wisdom feeds me and fattens me, the Real Me.
But I must return to consciousness of the objective dual now,
Knowing that this is just an appearance, a glove of The Infinite,
A form of thought and emotion to swim these unreal waters
And to experience the lessons of pleasure and pain of illusion.
