Not the end of the road.

“Authenticity is everything!  You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who’s looking back at you.  And you can only do that if you’re being honest with yourself and being a person of high character.  You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.”  ~ Aaron Rodgers; American football quarterback.

“I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.”  ~ Sylvester Stallone; American actor and filmmaker.


The mind can be a fatalist making challenges seem daunting and mistakes seem like the end of opportunities for progress in life; however, these ways of the mind themselves are challenges, distortions of reality due to a lack of self-discipline, and this is what is needed for us to become stronger and master ourselves.

Nothing in this life is given to you, but you create it with your thoughts of inspiration and persistence, never stopping because you make a mistake or you fall.

How can someone learn to understand and appreciate life if that someone gives up because of a bad experience or mistake…??  How can someone really practice true self-love and at the same time stop the expression of his human spirit from pursuing his dreams and goals…??  How can that someone embrace happiness every day if there is neglect to keep going and learning from mistakes…??

You were not meant to just cruise by and admit defeat, put a fake smile and pretend that you love your life as it is.  You must understand that life is not random, life is conscious, much more conscious and wise than the highest human I.Q., and even highest than any Enlightened human heart.  You are the creator of your life all the time; when you are conscious of what you create, you control what you create thus beauty surrounds you; but when you are not conscious of what you create, you are not in control of what you create thus ugliness surround you.

There is no mistake in life, not even if it is a major crime, that will mark you as garbage or sinful for ever, you have always the power within yourself to change and raise above yourself and what you did; so, your next choice, your current moment will modify it in your mind, you either learn from mistakes and bad experiences or you drown in a dark pool of self-pity and self-destructive thinking.

Life in its wisdom moves and never stops, and the clock never stops either; therefore, be wise as life itself is wise, mind your time and your thinking, act accordingly and keep going always aiming to be better than yesterday.

The Truth.

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”  ~ Galileo Galilei.

 

The truth

There exists in the beyond a place,
Of no existence of time or space,
Within me deeper than my sorrow,
Belonging to no past or morrow.

Where the heart is pure and the word is weak,
Peaceful and eternal are the waters of the creek,
I will bathe my conscience and elevate my mind,
I will let go all impurity and outside poisonous bind.

This miracle is a place of divine essence,
Of these glowing waters I feel the presence;
For within me they use no words of woman or man,
For within me it magically emerges my life plan.

I meet no quarrels or disputes here,
The ego of myself and others I don’t hear.
The fete, the fountain of eternal youth;
For all here is the discovery of The Truth.

~ Asa.

Truth lights the heart and clears the mind

As pure gold.

“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves—there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”  ~ Joan Didion; American journalist and writer of novels, plays, screenplays, and autobiographical works.

“That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.”  ~ William J. H. Boetcker; German minister and motivational speaker.


 
As pure gold
 
As the concealed mysteries of the deep seas,
As the creatures which no eyes have ever seen,
There is the glorious purity of your soul
As profound and valuable as pure gold;
For it is in thee that life is appreciated,
For it is in thee that such is elevated.
 
All the kind people one loves and cherishes
May be as the light bulb which flickers in the dark,
The light which changes intensity as mood,
The light which guides and obscures the truth.
They may ask and demand, rob you of your option,
Where the light is faint, where truth is distortion.
 
The rose blooms under the light of the warm Sun;
You and I develop under the warmth of self-respect.
To master the space and the planets is nothing;
To master the Eternal Love in thee is everything.
Why give knowing that they will just take and take…??
If you always give, play the fool, your love is fake.
 
The repeated mistakes of good and decent people,
To give and forgive about the love for themselves,
To expect the beast to change when it lives by instinct.
But to love oneself is the glorious purity of your soul,
To know that you are as profound and valuable as pure gold.
 
~ Asa.
Don't you know yet...__Your light shines by beingnourished with self-love.Enrich yourself first, not others.

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.

“Love is what shines over the trees.”

“You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.”  ~ Anonymous.

 

“Secrets of the stars“

If you look deeper into the magic of the stars,
Within the cosmos and wonders of your heart,
That is where you will find the sight to know,
The eyes to see the sexiest part of a woman,
Which lies not on her body
Or pretty face;
The sexiest part of a woman
Is in the recesses of her beautiful mind,
And that is where she hides away.
The kinky side which shines in the dark,
The naughty girl which conceals dreams,
The eternal believer of the magic.
The sexiest part of a woman
Is in the silent secrets of the stars
That she keeps locked away for someone to find.

                                                                                    ~ Asa.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.  Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all.  But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.”  ~ William Blake; English poet, painter, and printmaker.

 

“Love is what shines over the trees“

The wind carries the magic of the cosmos,
Yes, as it dances in your earthly mind,
Yes, as the morning dawn touches your heart,
Yes, as the birds sing in cosmic awareness,
Yes, as the lovely flower opens to the bees,
Saying, “Love is what shines over the trees.”

This cosmic essence is about us and them,
It is beyond the eye, the nose, and the ear,
And it raises the question of Infinity no one really understands:
What is that which you and I call Love beyond the petty sights…??
The Eternal Beloved knows, within us, the earth, the sky, the seas,
Saying, whispering with the winds, “Love is what shines over the trees.”

                                                                           ~ Asa.

Rise of The Gods.

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.”  ~ Earl Nightingale; American radio speaker, and self-help author.

“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”  ~ Abraham Maslow; American pioneer psychologist and professor.

 

This physical life is a beautiful succession of still photographs, and to find yourself and really embrace life at its fullest you must live in the moment, enjoy each moment, allow your attention to be on each moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant situations, do not escape but be there; however, because our human spirit needs to be allowed by our humanity to have outlets, to express itself freely, we, as human beings, need to rule over our egoistical and lazy minds and develop talents and skills in which we feel the passion and freedom coursing through our veins.

6863_20121103_111525_407632_343212045775236_294920062_n[1]

To free yourself, your spirit, to embrace true and constant happiness in your life, you must have a plan or vision of what is most important for you, a goal which helps you wake up each morning happy to be alive and working towards something heartfelt and noble; but, opposite to this, you cannot live each moment just hoping for the best and allowing your mind and the situations surrounding you to lead you randomly forward, for only you are meant to create and rule in your own life–i.e., not your ego, not your family, not society, but you and only you.

 

If you are not waking up each morning and loving every second of your life, breathing in and watching yourself get better and better in the development of your skills and talents, then you will not be able to free your human spirit from the bondage of a lazy and stressful ego, thus you will not experience the true essence of happiness which starts with self-love.

 

This self-development is all about your internal state, this is not about your country, culture, or your current financial condition; therefore, you could live on the streets or inside a very humble abode, but there is always something to improve in yourself–kindness, a deeper emotional connection with yourself, the planning of a future through planning strategies for a business, working on writing stories to develop imagination, drawing, mastering a certain topic to publish a book, selling something you make, etc. etc.

The goal here is not fame or fortune, but it is to train your mind to move forward and to create something that you keep dear to your heart, because in this way you free your human spirit and let it soar to new experiences, to new heights.
Remind yourself of this every single day.

The place for all.

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”  ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

“He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.”  ~ Buddha.

 

The place for all

Beyond wild thoughts and ignorant beliefs,
Beyond all your petty misconducts and mental illnesses,
There is a greater field of cosmic understanding
Which resonates beyond our Heaven and Hell.
This place knows not of birth and death,
This place is the silence of Creation itself,
This place is where we shall meet without barriers.
When the bird sings, the dog barks, the person talks.
When the winds whistle, the storm shouts in anger.
A space between the noise and the beat of the heart.
Between you and me where it goes far into deeper Nature.
Sunrise and Sunset live in this Conscious substance,
They carry the whispers of our immortality,
Where we become one and thought does not perturb,
Where you and I do not exist and where peace unites us all.
Springs the illusion of Heaven and Hell, of a dual existence,
Where there is only sleep and no one sees but dreams.
This is the abyss of difference as the wars rise.
You must wake up, see the horizon as beautiful as I see,
That beauty is the only constant, and we are in this together.

~ Asa

Under the moon.

“Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other.”  ~ Olive Schreiner; South African author, anti-war campaigner and intellectual.

Under The Moon

Our hearts dance Under The Moon so bright,
Angels sing as we hold each other tight,
Enjoying the experience of the eternal moment,
Two best friends and two lovers without comment;
Our eyes communicate what our mouths cannot utter,
Our ears listen to the sweet music of the river’s flutter.

Up into the mountains and away from the crowds,
Staring up into the heavens with no clouds,
We came through the path full of tree leaves,
Crossed the valley and passed the farm’s sheaves;
Seeing the open skies Under The Moon,
We sat upon the heart-shaped trunk hewn.

Blood within us boils as our hands gently touch,
For we connect in great measure so much,
For there are no words to describe our care,
The feeling so magical like walking on air.
And Under The Moon we become one soul,
Love shines through from within us as the goal.

~ Asa.

Greatness unleashed!

“Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things.  Believe in yourself.  Do what you love.  And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.”  ~ Stacy London; American stylist/fashion consultant, author, and magazine editor.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”  ~ David Frost; English journalist, comedian, writer, media personality and television host.


One of the problems people encounters is not to understand desire, so they believe that just by following a desire your mind came up with and you envision yourself enjoying is enough to reach success–so they see celebrities with money and fame, they want that; they see writers publishing successful books, they want this; they see great businesses expanding worldwide, they want it and start a business.


But the reality is that your desire alone, no matter how strong that desire is, does not drive you to any success, because you need constant confidence and patience to succeed at anything, such mighty things a simple desire does not give you; but only a truly passionate heart does, and that is more challenging than just a simple desire in your mind.

23131821_382847002148668_7090736365411008933_n

You must forge yourself and find your noble and truest passion, something you truly love from your heart, something you honestly believe in, if you really want great success in life.

See, it does not matter if you don’t think it would bring success, it does not matter if your passion is something you do not see as popular in society; because what creates success in life is not just the product or idea you sell or bring to the public, but the way you do it and the passion is, and the personal belief you have.


People take time, so you need patience, but they pick up on the passion you have; for it is the invisible force the one that attracts success, and that is your natural drive.
th
Either you live your life just existing and hoping for the best each moment without greater vision (loser’s chosen lifestyle), or you take full control with great strategy and working towards a vision, slowly but steady, patiently but 100% committed (successful mindset).  Your choice must allow you to experience true happiness–mentally, spiritually, economically.
A mind that is strong will learn and become stronger from obstacles and challenges.  A mind that is weak and pitiful will become weaker and quit on the first pebble on the road.  And if you don’t find your truest, most heartfelt passion, you will have no drive to last and endure the road to success.
Find that drive, be patient, believe in yourself, and the world is yours.  This is my current experience.

True heart of empathy.

empathy-quote-a-place-for-mom
Enter a caption

 

Empathy is that power with which all beings were endowed, which only concerns the pure heart, pure Infinite Intelligence, and has no reference or co-existence with and along the ego; because the ego is of the mortal mind, attached to the physical senses, it creates customs, traditions, beliefs, appetites, and all things which are bound to time, space, and to moods.

 

Empathy is then related to intuition, it is to listen and follow only the heart; but most people confuse this, because their hearts have been allowed pollution by a desire, by a belief, by an idea from their mortal minds, and thus they “believe” they are following a pure heart.  But the heart has no belief.  Truth has no belief. 

But this is the mediocre state of the human mind.  The only way to know empathy is to raise above this mediocre mind.  Do what is right, not what your appetites desire.

 

“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.  And to act so is immoral.”  ~ Leo Tolstoy; Russian philosopher, and novelist.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

 

The heart of man is polluted by the ego of the same man, such man of considered “goodness” and “kindness”–so they eat animals, wear them, destroy nature, pollute habitats, torture animals, etc. etc.

CHuinHwXAAANwy5

This is, of course, hidden in arguments and beliefs the ego creates and that “spiritual” and non-spiritual men and women of great weakness follow as their ravenous appetite.  And then they claim to know love.

 

But love, beyond romanticism and friendship, is an essence which creates, builds with FULL compassion and goodness, it has no ego appetites and it sees no differences between a man and a cow, or between the earth and a man.

This is true love.  Don’t try to understand what I am saying with your intellect, because if you do, then your ego will start making up excuses and justifying behaviors.  Only the pure, untainted heart of empathy knows my message.

22814302_10156673503262388_7359138747780244734_n

Love is an experience ONLY the truly awakened knows, and the rest who “believe” they are awakened because of their knowledge do not know (the ego makes them believe that they know it).

Love is Oneness and Oneness cannot exist if there are two beings with differences; for whenever you see differences and you say to yourself, “Is just an animal, buy the steak”, there is no Oneness, there exists no love.

Your ego can try to deceive you and justify all you do, but deep inside you know the truth.
