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

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).

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.


vital-life-force-manifested-in-all-things-prana-sanskrit-for-_breath_-and-_universal-life-_prana-is-the-essence-of-life-behind-your-thought-speech-and-all-motion-use-this-energy-wise.jpg

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.

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.

21462438_363270297439672_6693942028399746751_n


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.

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.

e

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.

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.

Time and Energy.

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” ~ Nelson Mandela.


“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~ Nikola Tesla.


“When Your Energy vibrates at a frequency that is in direct alignment with what the universe has been attempting to deliver your entire life, you begin to live in the flow and true miracles start to happen.” ~ Panache Desai; British spiritual teacher and author.


Time and Energy

Humans are beings of energy we call spiritual, coming from the realm of the immaterial and eternal, where no fear, thought or emotion exists, where all is peace and unity and no duality has place.  This is pure divinity, pure energy.


But in order for us to experience physical life, time and space opened the vortex into aging and moving from one place to another in forms of blemished matter.

So, we are ruled or based upon two conditions, which are Time (which creates all duality) and Energy (which irradiates life into otherwise dead matter and creates all human expression); however, these two are, of course, one and the same, but our minds separate the two, and that is why most people see only the differences on earth–i.e., trees, animals, humans of different colors, rocks, air, water, etc.

But either we see and understand Oneness in all Creation or not, the truth is that we must embrace the time on this earth and use the energy of the human spirit wisely, because our time here is to experience and reach higher levels of consciousness, but even more than that to experience through the efficient use of our energy, the energy forming our mind and body.

We cannot expect time to do everything we, as wise beings of energy, should do, because time is a constant flow and its purpose is just to allow us to create experiences which can bring us all growth; energy is the eternal entity we must move and use to create through time.

We do not become wise masters of our time here by sitting or even praying for a miracle or for time to create something great for us; time is just a constant which will only pass and it has no purpose of Creation, energy does.  We are Creators, manifesting is our work; and we have the right tools, which are our minds and our bodies, and through its proper use we become masters.

Don’t let time fool you. “Great things take time,” the saying goes; yes, but time itself does not do anything, the wise management of your energy through intentions and actions do.

The purest light.

“You have to find out what meditation is.  It is a most extraordinary thing to know what meditation is–not how to meditate, not the system, not the practice, but the content of meditation.  To be in the meditative mood and to go into that meditation requires a very generous mind, a mind that has no border, a mind that is not caught in the process of time.  A mind that has not committed itself to anything, to any activity, to any thought, to any dogma, to any family, to any name–it is only such a mind that can be generous; and it is only such a mind that can begin to understand the depth, the beauty and the extraordinary loveliness of meditation.”  ~ Jiddu Khrisnamurti.

“You cannot meditate if you are ambitious–you may play with the idea of meditation.  You your mind is authority-ridden, bound by tradition, accepting, following, you will never know what it is to meditate on this extraordinary beauty if you’re ambitious.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; Indian philosopher, public speaker, educator, and writer.


 

Meditation

 

Meditation

Meditation is the flowering of the human spirit through inner attention on what is, it is nature at its purest, it is the place where man, or the form of man, does not exist because consciousness is free from thoughts and all ignorance.  Meditation gives the serious meditator strong self-discipline which works in all aspects of his life.  Meditation boosts emotional and intellectual intelligence to understand the depth of life.  Meditation gives one the confidence and strength to be unique and a light unto oneself and unto others.

Humankind lives on the edge, on the edge of stressful and violent thoughts all day–anger, confusion opinion, gossip, embarrassment, shame, and all fears–which control people’s whole existence and interaction with the world around them.  There is no wisdom in the things they do, thus there is not any deep understanding and not any insight. 

 

The only condition in man which brings light to the chaos may be found inwardly and not outwardly, because outwardly there is nothing but the illusion of your beliefs, of your rebellions, of your violence, of your anger, of your stress, and so on and so forth.

The spirit of the human being then is trapped in this thought-form which controls man, and in order to be freed there must be communion with it–i.e., man must get in direct touch or communication with his own spirit through the sacred silence of his mind, through inner contemplation of what is.


And what is, that substance of pure consciousness which is all wisdom and love, transforms human thought once meditation is adopted, it transforms the whole being–via confidence, strength, wisdom, self-discipline, and via the elevation of the mind in all aspects.

Ambition then is the one opposite of all meditation, all desire for material gain which becomes an obsession when man’s life is seeing through the eyes of ambition; because ambition robs the mind of freedom to express its godly nature, and it fills the mind with desire for outward things, events, and people.


Practice inner contemplation without any ambition whatsoever and you shall see your light emerging and taking over your whole being, thus you shall attract opportunities for growth in all aspects of your life, as spiritual, mental and financial, people will see you shine and will be attracted to your light.

The indestructible.

“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.”  ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel; Polish-American rabbi and philosopher.


 

Plainly put, self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.  And as Lao Tzu wisely said, “Conquering others is mere strength, conquering yourself is true power.”

d10672083d024bfd5562e8b2793ef52b--self-control-quotes-successful-quotes
Most people do not have guidance in life, they lack structure and they are always set adrift in expectation for the next moment, and this happens because they are like ships without a sure route, without a destination mapped, they bounce here and there and when things go wrong they complain and feel like victims.

There is nothing more reassuring and excitingly peaceful, where your mind is set on a definite course and does not deviate, like self-discipline because it is exactly self-respect, it is loving yourself so much that you only do the things which are best for your life, the things that keep you in harmonious track–i.e., eating healthy and the right amount, getting right sleep, working when you have to work and enjoying yourself when you have time for yourself, thinking the right thoughts and sharing in good conversation which elevates, etc. etc.

That is called conquering yourself, ruling yourself, which makes you truly a master of yourself and of your destiny. 

Self-discipline gives you strength and confidence, and it helps you appreciate yourself enough that you want to better yourself every single day, while becoming more aware of the things you must do in order to be successful in life.

One step at a time.

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.  If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.” ~ Buddha.


“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” ~ Lao Tzu.


 

Do Not Rush Yourself To Wisdom

Quite often people rush into things and actions, into arguments and beliefs.  We all go through this, because this is living and experiencing life, because this is growing and in our flawed humanity it is also finding the right path.  The ego tends to influence us so we feel good with our beliefs and we feel important; because the lifetime craving of the human being is to feel valuable, important in our own life–that is why we form relationships, we build friendships, we visit religions, we engage in conversations, etc. etc.


We want to belong, we want to feel loved and express our love however we think or however the ego says is right.  This is healthy if we include our hearts in the process.
 


But most of the time, due to influence of the ego, we fall in the trap that says that wisdom is the same as experiencing life and the same as getting knowledge to fill our minds; therefore, we get excited by the new knowledge of a topic out there, or by all the years and things we have gone through, or by the incredible data we have of spiritual and scientific topics, and so on and so forth.


But we must understand that wisdom does not have anything to do with knowledge you can acquire in this life.  Now, don’t get me wrong on this, the right knowledge is extremely important to expand your mind and help you think deeply.

Wisdom is a brilliant “knowing” which already flows through us, because when we are born we are all “divinely infused” with this brilliance in our very cellular composition, and as we grow up it is still in us.
th


But as grown ups we have to deal with society and beliefs, and ideas and what she said and what he said, what she wrote and what he wrote, and all our complex experiences; therefore, so many things to deal with make the mortal mind confused and overwhelmed, so this wisdom or brilliance gets buried deeper within us.

This is to understand that you shouldn’t pressure your mind to understand something, study it carefully, yes, keep getting knowledge, yes, but enjoy the ride and relax.

Life is patience, and that’s true wisdom.

Wisdom is not out there, it doesn't exist in the experiences you live themselves. Wisdom is not in the time you spend on this earth,because wisdom is not of time and space.Wisdom flows t

Reality.

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.  The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”  ~ Nelson Mandela.


“Fear is not real.  The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future.  It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist.  That is near insanity.  Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”  ~ Will Smith.


 

Reality knows no fear

To know God is to understand that fear and love are the same.


Love and fear are the same energy, but just different degrees of the same substance, two ends of the same pole; just like fire and ice, they both burn, they are the same, just the vibration of fire is faster than that of ice.


When you feel fear but you develop strength from within and overcome that fear, your body and mind get used to it, there is no fear anymore; fear has turned to love–i.e., you were experiencing love as fear before because your ego was taking over your body, poisoning your mind with fear, but once you overcame your obstacle you began to see fear as strong love, so for your mind fear has disappeared now and you only feel love.


Think back before all matter was created, because if you do that then you can decipher what is real and what is not.  Reality is all there is.  And back then there was only this rich essence of Creation and all Manifestation we now call love.
Spiritual Love

The reality is still the same today as always.  But man was now born, and with his birth there had to be an opposite to love; because matter creates space and time, which is in the mind of man–this is the birth of fear, because mortality designs a fear of death, a fear of failure, a fear of this and that.
If you really understand who you really are, not just read it or have it as knowledge in your mind, then you know and experience in each cell of your body that fear does not really exist.


And if you know that fear does not really exist as an entity of reality, then your stress will lower greatly, life and challenges will look beautiful to you, and you will not consider failure upon anything you put your mind to achieve.

Reality knows no fear
