Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder.

“The Winged Spirit.”

“Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.” ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam; Indian president, scientist, and engineer.

The Winged Spirit

Times of grief and deep misery

Of dark days in past history,

Jackals and wolves ruled the night,

Wicked men of pain were the sight,

Streets of great pestilence and crimes,

Taxes, debts, of people suffering times;

Hate and fear were the ones in power,

Love and peace did not exist, nor the flower.

Broken I felt my heart in those moments,

My thoughts were miserable torments;

My abode, my wife and children were gone,

Light had left me and to dark I was drawn,

My dreams had fallen into the obscure abyss

Where I could not reach and there was no bliss.

I walked the path of no return one night of fate,

Of death I saw shadows summoning the gate;

Then the path was illumined at far sight on end,

Fear held me at first but then it became a friend,

There was an explosion of light which I did endure,

The love expanded, the warm peace was most pure,

I realized something extremely bizarre and out of place,

Time had vanished, I was within no common space,

Bubbles and ripples were all about my formless essence,

My mind sensed deeply the wonderful quintessence.

Then there was deeper realization and I came to see,

I had died in pain but was now reborn in profound glee,

The Winged Spirit in the midst of pain and turmoil,

Ready to advocate truth and all men’s suffering foil.

My losses were then met with wisdom and true heart,

My fear and anger, misery and frustration had part.

The game

Illusions are about us and all the time emerging,
Thought-forms and mediocre ideas without purging,
Men and women experience ambition in the mind,
They constantly plot all selfishness most blind.

Regarded I the coin of all treasure, the shiny thing,
I labored constantly like a puppet on a string,
Hurt was disguised as purpose, love was not there,
Misery was disguised as passion, stress I couldn’t bear.

Fleeting pleasures, incoming pain, I lived confused,
Society’s schemes, man of ignorance, I was used;
There was a brilliant light I couldn’t see at first,
Madness possessed my form, beyond cursed.

Love had been my savior then and it took time
To stop all anxiety and experience The Sublime,
For I elevated to the paradise of mental peace,
Because she found me the illusion did cease.

Realized then I was the pawn of the crude,
As the servant to the rich and powerful glued;
One lives as a puppet every day of his life,
I had awakened, cut the cord with a knife.

The game is thought by the ignorance of humanity,
Everybody desires happiness but cannot see vanity;
Love is the answer and the deepest connection,
Of the poisonous illness in life is the grand injection.

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

Prime.

“May your time in and with Nature, lead you to yourself.” ~ Native American proverb.

“Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.” ~ Pythagoras.

Love is the only universal constant. Remember that this love essence is not the love most people know, the love of the flesh and the thought; no, this love which is the universal constant goes beyond all this, because it is what permeates every thing and any thing, and because it is what connects us all–Blacks to Whites, Catholics to Buddhists, Muslims to Americans, Swedish to Argentinians, Mexicans to Canadians, criminals to normal citizens, lovers to haters, humans to rocks, animals to air, chairs to tables, light to dark, and all in between (whether you consider it alive or not all is energy, Oneness).

21369492_361448470955188_5039290144399066768_n

When someone truly accepts this universal love, not just with his mind seat of concept and all illusion from the ego, but with his whole being–his heart, mind, cellular composition, behaviors–then this person starts to see the invisible but very intense spirit of Oneness that links everything together, so that person starts a process of transfiguration from inside his being, and beauty and great wisdom takes over him, become him.

Life is the primordial unity, Nature constant, universal Oneness, and it can only be felt intensely if you allow yourself communion in silence with yourself, with your mighty and wise subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, with patience and self-love, with character and confidence in yourself and in the connection you yourself have with every thing and any thing around you.

But you must make an effort to control your anger, your opinion, your judgements of difference in your mind towards all which surrounds you (everything that is breathing or not); for Oneness, true connection with all, can only be felt if you avoid the poisonous influence of your own ego separating everything all the time, making labels and concepts to divide life all the time, and also if you see the love or primordial essence linking us all as one.

This is ultimate wisdom which shall give you all the strength you need to elevate your mind, body, and spirit to heights of bliss you never before knew.

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

The most powerful engine.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date September 15, 2017
No Comments on The most powerful engine.

The mind of the human being is ruled by duality–i.e., happiness and misery, pain and pleasure, success and failure, sex and celibacy, peace and violence, accepting and rebelling, real love and the mere attraction of two bodies, and so on and so forth. This duality is what makes physical life worth experiencing with all its ups and downs like a roller coaster.

Imagine what life would be like without challenges or without sadness to learn from, to raise ourselves above mediocrity. No, it wouldn’t exist. True happiness in this physical life is known once you know misery or overcome suffering.

When the baby suffers the pains of traveling from the nice womb to the outside of the mother, he starts realizing that there is a new world to discover; in his own way, he is filled with joy and amazement. When he was in the womb, he was already in duality, because he felt misery and happiness as well; when the pregnant mother became sad or entered into arguments that affected her, the baby or fetus inside felt pain; when the mother had a foot massage and was surrounded by love, the baby felt warm love and happiness. (Although the baby or fetus did not know the mental concepts of happiness and misery, because his conscious mind was not formed yet since the conscious mind is formed mainly by the full physical senses, but he felt the natural emotions that tied him to the mother).

13087497_991469280934342_7762408034270852382_n

This is to say that to understand the strength you really have within you, you must know and experience pain, welcome it and do not try to avoid it or run away from it. As a wise grown up you walk your journey in life with this duality in your mind, your ego is powerful like for the rest of us; however, you have the capacity to understand pain when you feel it, so then learn to accept it, and become one with it, because you experience life at its fullest by understanding its ups and downs clearly.

See, the problem that most people have and do not understand why they have it in the first place, is lack of comprehension on duality, pain and pleasure, happiness and misery; and this comes about because they just experience life on the surface, they just live their own life as it comes, there is no understanding of why things happen and of why they feel what they feel.

This is just cruising by and letting the waters of the sea rock your boat and toss you here and there in danger of losing your course and drowning. You must guide the boat or ship with a mighty engine, with mighty understanding only the wise possesses. Because to elevate your own mind and reach that state of conscious bliss, you must become wise and embrace pain to be strong and confident.

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

The harmonious.

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ~ Lao Tzu.

“You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward.” ~ Conrad Hall; American cinematographer.

Life does not just happen, but it is created with a purpose by this universal essence behind all forms of matter, behind all atoms and corpuscles of all substance. Human beings, the shell we see in the mirror and the thoughts we experience every day, are a product of this life-force or life-energy.

Things flow, nature follows its course, and the purpose behind it all is hidden from the rebellious human mind; and it so happens that resisting to this natural flow creates friction, such friction creates ripples of tension in us and around us, the natural flow gets interrupted, and we force vibrations to create negative outcomes we call dark energy, stressful and damaging events. And then most people say, “Life is not fair” or “Life just happens to be this way.”

Is life really unfair…?? Perhaps is our perception through our resisting of life that is not fair…?? Life is beauty in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder must be wise in this.

And we can never assume that we have mastered life or that we are always going to do well; life is change, life is challenges, even for the most elevated minds among us. Experiencing life must be unique and something we enjoy through curiosity and exploring ourselves, so we are bound to make mistakes; however, the worst mistake which can really hurt you is to follow the path or the life of another.
Love another but follow, invent, do your own life, assuming nothing and always moving forwards, embracing that the next step you take could be a storm or a sunshine. You never know

And if you expect always the best, then you won’t be prepared for the worst. If you do not train yourself in this way, your ego will get used to comfort, and when things go wrong then you will suffer greatly and blame life.
Physical life, its joys and pains, is a gift from the highest condition of existence, from the only real condition of existence.

Learn to appreciate it and align yourself with its movement of creation.

Thought-vibration.

“Every single second is an opportunity to change your life, because in any moment you can change the way you feel.” ~ Rhonda Byrne; Australian television writer and producer.

“What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” ~ Mark 11:24.

Thought is a very powerful weapon we carry, it can either destroy us or help us elevate ourselves in life. Thought is an intense entity of vibrational energy that has been given to us to be used appropriately, because life is to be experienced in full bliss, life is not meant to suffer and to feel pity for ourselves.

Out of all the many wonderful creations on earth, human beings were given intense thought which is always interacting with us; animals do not have this higher intensity of thought, and that is why they cannot accomplish what we can accomplish, and that is why they also are more pure when it comes to love (no obstruction from polluted thought).

But, of course, this high intensity of thought we humans have also works to our disadvantage; because due to our physical senses, our thinking is always rushing into conclusions and overwhelming us with prejudices, and beliefs, and all ignorance.

Thought is very powerful vibrational energy, such energy which is everywhere. The thoughts of people, whether positive or negative, are always everywhere and anywhere; because thought swims in the waters of mind, and mind is not just confined to our head, but it is everywhere–and that is why there exists such phenomena as remote viewing, certain intuition, and many more psychic experiences.

But obviously I am not talking about the limited human mind, but about the wonderful subconscious, Infinite Intelligence. Whenever you reach a high vibrational state in your conscious mind, so high which aligns the vibration of your thought with that of your heart, by deep feeling we magnify or intensify the connection to our subconscious, and so vibrations start creating in the outside environment.

This is the real prayer, when uniting vibrational thought with vibrational heart… “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” ~ Mark 11:24.

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!

Beings of light.

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.” ~ Buddha.

We are a species of energy and light wrapped in deceiving thought-forms and aging flesh, we are that which illuminates the mind and the cells of our body in order to think and move; however, what is reflected in our mirror, what the physical eyes see is merely the shell, the wrapping of what we truly are.

You can know this for yourself in many ways, by the many expression of the human being, and you can absolutely know and experience this when you truly fall in love.

But even so beyond all romance (which is just a small conduit of love), the expression of love is universal, and it is communicated through many forms–i.e., self-love (the biggest and most important expression, the one upon which the other expressions are based), art forms, kind gestures, protection of other species inhabiting earth, etc.

People tend to see this as human beings having a spirit, instead of the spirit having or allowing the human form to experience life. And this is the problem in the world today, because people obey their ego-mind thinking it is the main entity, instead of the spirit which is certainly the energy giving life to the ego-mind; however, the ego is merely a thought-form which is bound to birth and death like our aging flesh.

Obeying and following the ego-mind is sure to design the illusion which will separate us from all reality, such reality which leads to bliss and wisdom.

This is something upon which we all must ponder in order to elevate the mind.

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

Magic source.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” ~ Albert Paine; American author and biographer.

“A man should fear when he enjoys only the good he does publicly. Is it not, publicity rather than charity, which he loves? Is it not vanity, rather than benevolence, that gives such charities?” ~ Henry Ward Beecher; American abolitionist and clergyman.

Generosity

The words of Buddha always are in my mind when it comes to generosity, “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Happiness is the light and flame of the candle, and it is the core of generosity. Sharing your happiness, your inner light with someone.

See, people tend to give money away, buy this and buy that; however, that is just a facade, others will see you open your wallet, therefore that is selfish. Now, I am not saying here that everybody who helps the homeless giving money or a friend with a gift is being selfish per se, but I am saying that the heart of real generosity does not look for recognition. Generosity comes purely from the heart, because generosity is self-love poured onto others for no special reason more than just share and enjoy the Oneness beyond all form which connects us all.

We all carry generosity within us, even the miser, because as mentioned generosity is a form of self-love (as beings of energy and light we all have it, just our thoughts can be generous or not).

Because of our minds and the stress, or because of outer environment chaos, some of us lose that self-love for a moment, or, better put, that self-love gets buried under the stress holding our minds hostage; so we need another kind soul with pure thoughts who can share by generosity, who can really make us feel elevated over the stressful situation we are going through.

This is sharing your light with others, because by sharing it never decreases but the opposite is truth; by sharing our time, our happiness, our hearts, the things which are special to us, then we become connected and grow ourselves.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths.

The Everlasting.

“What you are, and who you are should provide greater clarity about where you have been and where you are headed. Although one distinguishes spiritual from physical nature, the ultimate unification of the two is the consequence of the struggle for internal, external and eternal peace, true love, truth.” ~ T.F. Hodge; writer, blogger, commentator, graphic design consultant, virtual assistant and author.

Awakening, illumination, deep understanding, is a wonderful and mysterious process; it can happen in a flash, in a minute, and in the most simple things. And this is because this process of divinity does not come with the desire of our minds, of our egos, but this divine process emerges via Infinite Intelligence through the patience and non-resistance to the flow of life from our conscious minds, from our egos.

We must be receptive and open, very patient without expecting and obsessing; patience is divine and has the power to elevate our minds and light our hearts in perfect unity, in perfect harmony.
This will really open a new world unto us.

A New World

Stress, anger, jealousy, all darkness,
My form, my thoughts, were heartless;
My passions were unclean and weak,
My actions were selfish, ill, not meek.

Arguing, fighting, and protecting my belief
Poisoned my whole mind in time brief,
Rebelling, resisting, cursing people
Built in me hatred which made me feeble.

My old world was definitely upside down,
My energy was infecting the whole town;
My vision and understanding was not wise,
I was buried in pride and all destructive vice.

One day it felt in me like a exploding Sun!
I became so relaxed, for with nature I was One!
I cannot describe to you the beauty in the fish,
A New World of compassion became my wish.

This is extremely bizarre in its simplicity and I know,
But my new world of beauty did not have a foe;
Swimming with nature was a love expression,
My mind and heart united suddenly in connection.

The Rose of Love

The Rose of Love I gave without hesitation,
You and I, different time, different nation.
Pockets of ether scared me at first as I did travel,
Mysterious energy around me I wanted to unravel.

It all was to meet you and pledge my love sincere,
From the letter and the story of your life most dear,
A jump through time for love has no deterrence,
In my memories I found our emotional transference.

The Rose of Love held steady and firm to greet
That beautiful goddess beyond time Oh so sweet;
There was no moment in time more precious,
God was upon our meeting most gracious.

I held you, became aware of our merging souls,
One godly existence beyond all romantic goals;
Now I know true love does not surrender to time,
Space or form, because love is the eternal prime.

Portal to Elevation.

“Truth is, I’ll never know all there is to know about you, just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candor.” ~ Tom Hanks.

Keys to an Open Mind.

To have an open mind means that you accept that you do not know everything, and to accept that is indeed the beginning of wisdom. And people come from different backgrounds and experiences, so to be close-minded to what they have to say or to believe that they cannot teach you anything is rather foolish, selfish and ignorant indeed.

The fact is that one cannot truly awaken if one has not an open mind, because the process of having an open mind allows Infinite Intelligence to flow freely through our minds to elevate the same; however, the ego makes people believe that just by knowledge the mind elevates, but this is one of the major illusions. And the example is that there are people out there who are true encyclopedias and have large amounts of data stored in their brains, but their minds are not elevated one bit. Wisdom does not reach their minds for this matter; their minds are full of beliefs, ideas, and thoughts from another.

I agree it is not easy to have an open mind, specially with so many nice but egotistical people around us; but in order for us to connect to self-love and reach that condition of bliss which elevates the mind, there must exist the deeper understanding of an open mind which steps aside all selfishness and ignorance for the sake of love expansion and true mental elevation.
