The Golden One First.

“Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?” ~ Bob Marley.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi.

We attract what we are. When our thoughts and intentions, our personalities and views in life, are similar or they resonate with each other then there is harmony, deep connection, and sense of communion which unites us both. And there is no point then in trying to find the right person or someone who can help us become better, because that is the ego always seeking outside for new experiences and relationships, seeking for something new which can bring entertainment to the emptiness inside.

Seeking without is seeking in the world for whatever we haven’t searched in the inside, it is a way to distance ourselves from the emptiness we fear inside, and it is definitely a way to escape the silence we fear within our true selves.

People seek all their lives, seek and seek, more shopping, more relationships, more children brought into this world, more traveling, more parties, more noise, add infinitum; however good or bad these may be, these are pleasures of life, and one must recognize in oneself first why are these needed. Am I seeking out there all these things and experiences because I am empty inside…?? Am I seeking these because I am unhappy and so I want to find happiness and a solution to the problems in my life…??

Maybe the solution to every little dilemma you have in life is within you, literally seeking within, getting used to the silence within, exploring the beyond within.

Ignoring your true self and covering it with relationships and things is just fooling yourself, which is just adding more thick mud to your emptiness and adding to your problems. And by doing this, you are not just damaging yourself further but you are damaging another person brought into your life.

You must love yourself first to love another. You must be successful and happy first to find success and happiness in the world. You must be the right person first to find the right person in the world.

Don’t be ignorant and foolish. Realize the truth within yourself first.

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

Mutual respect.

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.” ~ C. JoyBell C.; American philosopher and inspirational writer.

When it comes to true love there must be respect, because true love is indeed a constant celebration of respect and deep connection; and so, respect means freedom to be who you are without being bullied or judged, it means you respect the other person and are yourself respected for how you think and feel. That is self-love.

How you think and feel must be respected, even if the other person does not agree with you. You either respect each other or there is no love, and if there is no love to celebrate, then, what is the point of staying in a relationship with no love…?? All relationships should be for your development.

One must develop patience and understanding in any relationship, but not allow oneself to be put down or treated badly; for it is all about self-love all the time, it is about your own individual development.

To have self-love, you cannot live in fear of being alone, of ending the relationship and starting a new life where you can be yourself; self-love is freedom to be yourself, it is knowing that you are already whole and that people have nothing to do with how you love yourself.

So, in order to recognize true love in another there must be mutual respect, which is freedom to be yourself and not his/her slave. And self-love is not fearing change, such is change to fix your life and get rid of relationships that do not serve you.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

Superior man.

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” ~ Swami Vivekananda; Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.

“Be. Don’t try to become.” ~ Osho.

Men, more than women in this aspect, have to look deep within themselves and get more in touch with their emotional bodies, feel more by looking into the silence of their own beings; and also, like women, stop dwelling in the fear of rejection and judgement from the ignorance in the world of form and deceit. Many things drive superficial man, but fewer things drive the inner man; because the innermost recesses of the soul need no drive, they just are… and it is there that man comes into being, thus the realization of the superior man.

Awakening is the inner realization that you are already all that you need, that you are already all that is, that you are connected to all; so necessity for anything above you is the delusion of the unawakened one, who is always searching for something better out there, always seeking for love and happiness desperately.

The connection to the heart is what this man of the world lacks, and when he thinks he follows his heart he is just following his own ego masked as the pure heart; so he fears the opinions and judgement coming from other men, even lesser men. He is lost in the world, and he becomes violent by losing himself and his true purpose.

There must be then an internal revolution honoring the wisdom in man, honoring the real strength of the light in man; so he can be the example, who does not shy away from being connected to his priorities and his inner wisdom, who does not listen to the superficial masses of people who claim to know what a man is.

He is now a light unto himself and unto others, and he is understanding and patient, and he is wise and a protector because he knows what love truly is and he dares not deny it.

He is his own master and god, and he denies not what he is to the ignorant world.

He shouts his true happiness to the world.

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

Vital essence…

“I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, ‘love lifts me’.” ~ Hafiz.

“Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature, ‘to move’.” ~ Adyashanti.

Essence is what permeates and fills the shells which move about in this physical world. Essence is what makes all possible–the trees, the bees, the flowers, the winds, they eyes that lock into each other when there is attraction, and the burning of the Sun above us. This is what love is–not romantic, sexual, and the rest. But the essence of The Great Spirit which is all that is, which exists in the present because it fuels all there is, all that is real.

And there is no agendas or purposes for this essence–for how can a self-aware, all-wise entity have any agendas…?? Agendas, purposes, desires, and all ambitions of goodness or wickedness come from a conscious mind, from a mortal thought which one day loves and desires and the next day fears and repulses.

This essence existed always, before the mortal mind was born and will be after, because this essence of Creation is all there is… in darkness and light… beyond the qualities it is all there is… the rest is the shell. And it is all we know, many times poisoned by the ego and turned into wars and hate. Man goes after his own terms of love, searches everywhere and anywhere out there, destroys himself over it, blinded, ignorant, not seeing what is in front of him… or within him.

And what is that which creates deep within the being the desire for life if not love…?? What makes you want to read this and seek the truth to better your own life if not love…??

But do not be like the common man, do not put it qualities and aspirations; because when you do, it stops being the true essence of love. If you do put it qualities and aspirations, it just becomes more garbage from the ego of the ignorant man.

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

It is yours!

“We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.” ~ Virginia Satir; American author and family therapist.

“Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but 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; American musician.

The human potential is often wasted and even ignored, because the human potential, the strength and the capacity to be happy and express ourselves through our talents, is within each one of us, it is the divine light beyond the ego which gives life to all rationale and is there to guide us forth.

But it is ignored because most people choose to allow their attentions to fall on other people’s opinions and judgments, so they themselves become self-conscious and embarrassed, fearful and even consider themselves worthless; and they also become crippled by all this turmoil which brings confusion and fear into their minds.

Life is a beautiful journey to create yourself–that is, YOURSELF, not others. And how can you create yourself and enjoy your journey if your mind is upon what other people think…?? How can great imagination to create happiness and success in your life exist in your mind while you remain in fear and chained to what others believe of you…??

You must break yourself free from caring what others think of you, free from the chains of mediocrity; for it is your own perception of yourself the one which matters, because it is your life and you are unique, but unless you become free to imagine and create you cannot know how unique you are.

You won’t be able to see the whole forest if you can only see the tree. And you won’t be able to see your opportunities and talents to progress in life if you can only see the people who judge you and consume your mental energy.

But, having said that, it is not the people’s fault but your own; therefore, you must take full control of your mind, seek peace, inquire within yourself, and follow your heart and care only about what you see for yourself.

Awaken and Hunt!

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain. To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices; but today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.” ~ Kevyn Aucoin; American make-up artist, photographer and author.

We all have gifts and talents, and we were given the opportunity in this time, in this era, in this life period, to live this physical life to find them in each one of us; but, sadly, many people ignorantly look for them outside of themselves, and thus they never find anything which can bring them true happiness.

But you, as an awakening and wise person, must not waste your time here on this earth, look within you for whatever is for you expressing your unique self, freeing your spirit and being truly you. That is the whole point of this life. And if you can’t understand that then you will never find true and constant happiness.

To be here on this planet and fully live and enjoy life means to be present, which means you observe before you judge and complain, you learn what experiences may want to teach you before you get angry with life, you pay attention to what is happening around you in the present moment and not dwell in past memories or visions of the future.

The reality of life is that you must be present, focused on the moment of Now; so, live and enjoy wisely, follow your goals and love without fear, respect yourself enough to give yourself chances to become better, find your true passions and gifts within yourself. And for all this, again, be present, because happiness is now, in the present and not in the past or in the future.

Whether you think of an afterlife or not doesn’t matter, your beliefs don’t matter; the only thing that matters is reality, which is that you were born to be happy and successful in whatever you choose to do; but you do have to work at it with heart and intelligence, patiently, wisely, because you have been given time for a reason–i.e., so you can regroup your thoughts, discipline yourself, and learn to create your path.

25398828_760107287513374_3664472929160547245_n

So, mind your time on this earth, be patient, do not rush into things, plan and analyze what you are going to do, but be constant and do not waste your time.

As long as you are alive, you have a chance to better your life.

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

Being wise and happy.

“Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to hunt for happiness.” ~ William E. Gladstone; British statesman and prime minister.

“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” ~ Lao Tzu.

Being happy is a state of mind, and whichever thing is a state of mind is under your control, you choose it, whether you know it or not, whether you are conscious of it or not.

And your mind is extremely powerful because it has been endowed with higher processes of existence, namely the condition called ‘attention.’ Happiness then can be found within yourself by the masterful use of your attention; so, if you focus on directing your attention to the positives in your life, however meager they might be for you, then soon you will clear your mind from negatives and experience a constant feel of happiness spreading throughout your whole body, even in the midst of chaos and economic challenges.

This is a good and simple practice, which brings humility and happiness in your daily living, I have adopted and that I suggest to you: Remind yourself that there are people in the world that do not have even what you have, the basic necessities of the human being as food and shelter; they struggle for these things and suffer mental and physical pains you will never have to suffer. So, no matter your troubles, you are blessed.

Analyze your life and awaken yourself to this greater realization; train your ego to acknowledge this, and know to focus your attention on being constantly grateful of what you do have.

The world, with its greed for more, wants and desires that never end, buy more of this and that, immature competitions and jealousies, does not have this wisdom. You must develop this wisdom and raise yourself above the pitiful and asleep world.

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

Truly loving.

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.” ~ Lao-Tzu.

“Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.” ~ Ram Dass.

It is attachment to someone or to the idea of a relationship the one thing who distances you from self-love, and it clouds your rationale because it fills your mind with desire and obsession.

When this happens you only see and feel what your ego designs, and so you start believing you are being guided by your heart when you are being fooled by your own selfish ego.

If another does not accept you how you are, if they force you to change, if they are always arguing and complaining about the way you are, then it means there is no love from their part; and you must love yourself enough to end the relationship. Because happiness is not something you should struggle for, or beg for, and specially you must understand that happiness is self-love. And how can you have self-love if you allow yourself to be forced to change and be controlled by someone who says he/she loves you…??

Life is not meant to be hell, unhappy, chained to struggle and suffering; but life is meant for you be yourself and surround yourself with people who really understand you and support your happiness. Thus, life is meant for you to elevate yourself in self-love and wisdom.

Communicate how you feel deep inside to others, let him/her know your innermost thoughts and feelings, and if there is no change in how you are being treated, then you will know that there exists no real love in the relationship.

You must then do whatever is better for your own development, focus on your inner peace and embrace a strong self-love. This is key to be happy and grow as a human being.

TED Radio Hour: Forgiveness

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate others.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.; American Baptist minister, spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement.

Self-love is the beginning of every great and inspirational thought, of every great and inspirational feeling, of every great and inspirational deed; so, if a human being cannot love himself beyond his mundane thoughts and superficial appearance, then he will not be able to experience true happiness and truly love others.

But he will confuse pleasure with true love and thus he will suffer and fail many times in his life, while making the same mistakes over and over again until, and if ever, he learns to develop self-love.

Forgiveness is one of the greatest acts regarding self-love, because it is all about truly freeing your own mind, loving yourself; and once you let go of the hurt from past memories, then your mind is free to embrace self-love and to move on, while you are not tied anymore to hate and anger and you can heal yourself.

Even something as terrible as rape can be forgiven, not forgotten, obviously; but, nevertheless, you can remove the anger and hatred from your mind which is destroying your abilities to move on and be happy, thus you self-love.

I am not saying forgiving the stupidities of people is easy, not even close to that; but I am saying that it is worth it, because it is all about your healthy development and the embrace of greater strengths.

Whatever happened in your life a minute or ten years ago is in the past, and now in your memory; and because it is a memory, you may never forget it, but because it is in fact this memory in thought-form, you can make peace with it. And so with daily practice, patiently, focused on your own development, you can let go, you can help yourself.

The easiest, most selfish and lazy thing the human being does is to follow his own ego blindly, like a brute with no brains at all; so, to remain attached to anger and hatred, to choose to follow stupid memories and let these thoughts consume you, is to deny the divine opportunities, the inner strength, life has given you to move on and raise above your own flawed mind, thus stupidity and stubbornness, thus a very selfish and pitiful state of mind. This is of the weak mind, thus also of the weak individual as a whole who cannot even rule over his own mind.

To forgive then is of the strong mind, because to forgive is to see beyond your own lazy ego and reach deep within you for the strength to move on and be happy. This takes guts and a very tamed mind. This takes some greater mastery over yourself.

Are you the weak one or the strong one then…?? Are you an inferior human being or a superior one…??

Self-help life truths.

Essential.

The hand of the man and woman connected with a red

“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” ~ Maya Angelou; writer, poet, and civil rights activist.

“Most good relationships are built on mutual trust and respect.” ~ Mona Sutphen; Foreign Affairs Officer, consultant, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

Trust is the emotional connection in any relationship, being romantic, friendship, co-workers, or any other sort; and trust increases love and peace in the mind, thus creating a deeper understanding of the foundation of any committed and sincere relationship.

But trust must be earned also, it does not matter who you are, or who the other person is, and it does not matter the story in the relationship; and it must be displayed in behaviors and honest and open communication with one another, it must increase harmony and divine union–one must feel at ease and understood by the other, and vice versa.

And as with all serious interactions in the wide human spectrum, trust always must be founded on self-love, because if you love yourself, you trust yourself; and so, now you can carry this personal experience onto the outside relationships with another, you can truly give trust, and also recognize trust in the other person.

But you must be able to live and trust in the present moment, for the only true happiness you can fully experience is in the present moment, not in past memories or in future ones.

This is to say, that you cannot fully trust and be trusted only by what has been said or done in the past, or by what has been solely promised for the future, but you must watch the behaviors of the present and also listen to the words and thoughts being expound in the present.

People’s minds, egos, are tied to different moods and characters, so trust must be experienced in the present to know that is real trust. Watch for the signals in others, and also watch that you give the right signals so others can trust you.
