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 human miracle.

There  are  only  two  ways  to  live  your  life.  One  is  as  though nothing  is  a  miracle.  The  other  is  as  if  everything  is.” ~ Albert  Einstein;  German-American  physicist.


The following is an excerpt of a book I just started writing, titled, “Inner Wealth!  Outer Wealth!”

 

The  brain  and  the  mind,  of  course,  are  two  very  different  things,  working  in  tandem  but  very  different  from  each  other;  but,  as  it  were,  the  ego’s  deceit  makes  it  look  like  they  are  one  and  the  same  (the  ever-nagging  duality  of  the  truly  mental  energies  and  the  basic  physical  ones),  because  that  is  how  most  people  experiences  this  phenomenon  on  a  daily routine—the  brain  emits  thoughts  and  this  is  the  mind,  plain  and  simple  this  is  the  common  belief  of  the  average  person. 

Now,  to  find  out  the  reality  we  must  delve  deeper  into  that  which  is  mental  science,  so  one  must  come  to  understand  that  thought  is  simply  a  physical  tool,  that’s it,  a  “dead”  object  itself—like  things  emerging  or  being  thrown  at  us  to  be  used  to  navigate  and  make  choices  in  our  daily  living—which  is  completely  mechanical,  crass,  base,  and  which  creates  from  the  past  and  the  future  because  it  lives  indeed  in  the  past  and  the  future.  Like  we  have  seen  before  this  chapter,  thought  is  just  a  reflection  of  our  physical  senses  on  the  outside  environment,  obviously,  to  sense  our  way  in  this  material  universe;  and  this  is  why  thought  is  mechanical  and  base,  objective  and  dualistic  in  nature,  always  changing  and  obsessive  if  maintained  unruly,  for  the  mentioned  reason  that  it  acts  upon  what  the  physical  senses  receive  or  gather  from  the  outer  world,  the  ever-changing  environment,  and  so  thought  in  our  conscious  mind  is  an  entity  which  is  physical  itself  and  subject  to  all  change.

Having  established  that  premise,  for  thought  to  be  born  and  emerge  within  the  physical  brain,  via  electric  signals  and  chemicals,  there  has  to  be  “space”  for  it  to  flow  unencumbered,  a  space  in  which  it  can  gravitate  and  expand  if  it  shall  become  a  thought  we  may  choose  to  officiate,  perhaps  a  vast  grid  where  it  swims  and  it  flourishes  and  ferments  (a  field-stream  where  the  seed  or  thought  can  germinate  richly)  to  create  great  ideas  to  thus  move  our  life  forward,  to  innovate  our  unique  craft,  to  weave  inspirational  stories  from  the  past  and  mold  our  future,  and  to  finally  bestow  upon  life  schemes  of  love  or  hatred.

This  vast  grid  or  space  in  which  thought  can  emerge  and  manifest,  as  an  idea  that  grows  and  grows,  is  the  mighty  but  misused  human  mind;  so,  as  one  can  easily  tell  by  now,  thoughts  are  like  ripples  or  waves,  and  the  mind  is  like  the  ocean. 

108eebdd3117803856fe06081baff36c

The  human  brain  then  acts  as  a  receiving  and  also  signaling  antenna  for  energy  patterns  residing  within  the  mind  itself,  which  exist  as  consciousness  conveyed  in  the  physical  form  of  thought.  Thoughts  are  not  created  out  of  nothing  and  not  only  out  of  our  own  physical  senses,  but  they  are  “dead”  objects  flowing  in  and  out  of  this  vast  grid—such  being  a  grid  of  in-formation  and  energy  fields  known  to  science  as  Attractors.  Thoughts  are  then  constantly  flowing  when  the  conscious  mind  is  on  (when  one  is  awake)—i.e.,  your  thoughts,  my  thoughts,  everybody  else’s  thoughts  swimming  in  this  vast  grid  or  ocean—but  arranged  to  each  Attractor  or  energy  field—i.e.,  my  energy  field,  your  energy  field,  etc.  etc.

But,  however  personal  these  thoughts  flowing  to,  and  within,  each  Attractor  Field  are,  still,  people  quite  often  might  pick  up  the  thoughts  of   somebody  else  since,  like  above-mentioned,  the  brain  acts  as  a  receiving  and  signaling  antenna  and  this  antenna,  depending  on  how  powerful  it  is,  does  not  discriminate  among  different  signals  that  might  cross  the  individual  Attractor  Field.

Needless  to  say,  our  individual  brain  receives  the  thought,  molds  it  to  our  own physical  senses,  computes  the  new  information  gathered  and  creates  our  unique  perspective.

For  example,  a  great  artist  in  one  side  of  the  world  has  access  to  an  inspiring  idea,  in  the  form  of  raw  energy,  to  create  a  wonderful  masterpiece,  and  that  same  idea  is  also  available  to  be  picked  up  from  this  grid  by  the  brain  of  a  janitor  living  on  the  other  side  of  the  world;  however,  the  difference  here  is  that  the  physical  and  mechanical  brain  of  the  artist  has  been  conditioned  and  strengthened  for  years  in  creativity  and  innovation  through  self-discipline  (could  be  more  grey  matter  formed,  more  neural  connections  in  the  physical  brain,  etc.)  to  receive  this  grand  signal  he  will  turn  into  a  great  idea,  but  the  janitor’s  brain  is  not  prepared  to  receive  this  signal  (could  be  not  enough  knowledge  of  the  craft,  less  neural  connections,  polluted  brain  by  drugs  or  unhealthy  foods  or  poisons  of  any  kind,  etc.)  thus  he  will  not  access  this  mental  energy.

Of  course,  this  is  just  an  example  and  in  no  way  I  mean  to  say  that  a  janitor  couldn’t  achieve  great  accomplishments  as  the  artist;  even  so,  the  message  here  is  clear,  that  preparing  the  brain  through  self-discipline,  for  as  long  as  it  takes,  is  all  there  is  to  access  these  wonderful,  raw  energies  of  mental  origin. 

The  molding,  shaping,  and  managing  of  these  energies  create  genius  as  we  know  it  in  our  human  society.

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.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

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.

Business mind.

The one with all.

“You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful.  It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.”  ~ Wallace D. Wattles; American author and New Thought writer.


 

When choosing your greatest desire make sure it assimilates the nobility and incredible power of life inside you; that rigorous selection, and only that, may give you the strength and burning passion you need to reach success without fearing the obstacles and falling prey of the distractions in the path ahead.  This is absolutely paramount for us to understand when we initiate the process of choosing the right and most important desire, because if we have in mind that life itself is success and also the greatest desire of existential growth, then we will choose that very desire which is brilliance in the path to our goals but also challenging to our minds’ development as life itself, the greatest teacher, is to each of us.
See, the problem with most people’s desires is that they have only superficial and known glamour which do not go beyond simple imagination, and hence have no uniqueness and warrior spirit in themselves.  People watches TV and want to be the successful businessman or famed actor, people reads popular magazines and want that car or that amount of cash, people praises leaders in the economy and politics of our society and they feel they can follow them and learn to lead like them, people see great houses and cars and boats and wishes to possess that same luxury, people hear of great science and/or spiritual educators and they follow them and read their books religiously to gain their wisdom and reach their level of mastery.

But, you tell me, where is the uniqueness and the creativity of a powerful and inspiring desire in that..??  Where is the incredibly magnificent design of life’s ultimate desire in that…??
No, it is not to be.  That is shallow and mediocre, dull-witted and crude, the spawn of a lazy and selfish mind which only sees itself and its ego possessing riches and knowledge without a unique, inner identity to advocate mankind’s higher growth and purpose.
And mankind’s higher growth and purpose is not what the asleep and unperceptive society dictates, and it is definitely not the soulless consumerism you watch on TV, read in magazines, or hear on the radio; however, I do understand the tremendous mind control and emotional hold these “fashionable” media sources wield upon the weak minds of the pitiable masses, but I also see beyond the misleading façade of these thieves of all reason and healthy encouragement, and I experience in myself the incredible greatness and potentiality of all mankind well past what the misleading physical senses tell me every day.

 

business-success
Remember this higher law of the universe, that the true and higher living is indeed life, and this life is success; on the opposite, the law of the lower ego in man deceives thus, that the lazy and selfish living is life, and this life is success.  Now, meditate on them, choose between the two, and do what truly elevates your spirit and makes you into a better man for the sake of all mankind.
You see, growing a true and spiritually elevating desire to better yourself, your life, and your loved ones, is the key to motivate yourself and surround your heart with a burning passion so great which cannot be extinguished by nothing at all.  Now, this is especially true for the acquisition of material riches, because in the faithful pursuit of these your heart has to be in it with a burning passion which surpasses all fear and indecisiveness within your dual mind.
The deepest desire of growing economically has to be built upon the greatest and most noble foundation humankind may yet reach from within itself, which is in fact spiritual foundation due to the origin of divinity and perfect life the mortal body and dual thought lack; consequently, the noble and honest desire for riches and economic abundance in your life must be originated and sustained by the spiritual motivation/fuel of reaching your higher self, and thus not based on the competitor ego which deceives the human mind into believing that wealth has to be attained by means of aggressive and selfish nature.
Life in its true essence beyond this physical realm is an active DESIRE of dynamic evolution, a self-motivated engine moving ever forward, energies of creativity and conscious awareness of themselves as all corporeal existence is brought into being, then the most beautiful and perfect dance throughout itself and designer of all space and time; for this reason, the desire in man to obtain riches and a prosperous life is something natural and good if the mind in question is under the right impressions and guided by wisdom.  The natural desire born in man to have wealth is not something to feel ashamed of, run away from, or even loathe, as many religions and “spiritual” people seem to believe and self-righteously condemn in other men.
Isn’t it pathetic and hypocritical that many religions of the world express great disapproval, and even hellish denouncement, of the pursuit of wealth while the same institutions take billions of dollars from their blind followers to build hugely massive and pompously luxurious places to worship their blasphemous nonsense and feed those obtuse egos they have…??  They make billions each year and pay no taxes, gloat and teach about the virtuous pursuit of a common life with no riches whatsoever, and all this while millions of people around the world suffer extreme poverty and starvation under conditions which are gravely inhumane and that of the lowest creature existing under God’s shining Sun.
Human beings are meant to obtain growth, not only spiritually but economically as well, because that is what the essence of life itself is, unlimited and powerful growth.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in achieving material riches is absolutely weak and wrong.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in reaching spiritual growth is narrow-minded and obtuse.  The two pursuits shall go together in order to be and feel whole, the spiritual and physical beings we are.  We are dual beings and as long as we have a body and a flawed mind we shall be that, no matter the enlightenment or the status in society.

We need to embrace what we are and what we need in this life.  No wise man can lead a full life either only spiritually or only materially.  The wise sage finds the balance in the pursuit of both.
Economic growth must be seen as something noble and good because it adds to a better life, a freedom’s advocate; but the spirit and mind have to grow with it, lest we become monsters which remain enslaved to our own physical senses and commanding ego.  The same goes for spiritual growth.  They both need to find balance in order for the mind of man to reach spiritual, and also human, freedom and bliss.

Business mind.

Creator of worlds.

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”  ~ Pablo Picasso; Spanish painter, sculptor, ceramicist, printmaker, stage designer, poet and playwright.

 

Daily stress, as we all know and science proves, is a sure sign of the mind and body decaying, even though we might not notice it at first, and it shall become our very path to an early grave if we let it.  The bloodstream gets slushy or thick, exhaustion sets in, energy becomes drained easily and rapidly, sleep at night gets difficult, our immune system has problems, the mind gets foggy and overwhelmed and we cannot see a solution to our problems, etc. etc.; hence, we now feel depressed, moody, and our perception of ourselves, of others, and of life itself changes for the worse.

We fall on all sorts of vices because there is no clarity of mind and spirited emotion to sustain the energy which runs through us daily, so we are now polluted and living in darkness, perhaps without even noticing it, until is too late because we find ourselves at the nearest hospital under a serious condition.

That is why embracing your energies of creativity, which is who you really are (because you are not your limited intellect but unlimited imagination to create), is so important, and really the most important activity one should embody; consequently, shaping and directing those energies will get rid of all stress and give you that fresh mind to think clearly and see solutions and even find great ideas for your business and personal life.

I personally base my life on my creativity and the power of these energies living and flowing through me, and dwelling within my very cellular make-up, within my very consciousness; and, furthermore, I do this not only because I feel the desire to express these energies of imagination, but also because this activity of pure expression clears my mind and emotional body from all clutter.  I wanted to share a few forms of expression which help me see and understand myself and the world around me with clarity:

I love cooking. Creating in the kitchen for a healthy body and mind.

Titled: “Kate.” I love painting. It is a powerful way to be stress free and sharpen my mind for better ideas in general life.

Titled:  “Raw Rage.”

Besides that, I enjoy exercising and writing whatever can wake my emotions into a deeper understanding of myself and of life. 

Any form of artistic expression which involves your emotional content in a personal way will bring you great peace of mind and strength that you never knew you had before; and I attest to this because it is my direct communication with my subconscious, which is where the great energies of creativity come from.  Imagination and creativity is the process of creating value within yourself, distanced from your intellect and ego, and then bringing that value out into the world to create connections, as in ideas, partnerships, entrepreneurial and private undertakings, and, of course, the constant experience of freedom and real bliss within yourself.

And the great thing about expressing yourself through artistic forms is that you are not limited, but with knowledge from school or books only you are indeed limited; therefore, by creating any form of art on a daily basis, it does not matter if you are good at it or not, you are soaring beyond all limitations imposed by society and its rules.

By creating something, anything, you are not just another person following the trends set for you and the masses, but you are unique, truly unique, and highly expressive; and this will transform your life in many ways, for the art is not just a drawing, or a writing, or a painting, or a food dish, but it is the very process of recharging your whole body to grow in E.Q. (Emotional Quotient or Intelligence), which is the power you need to reach success in all aspects of your life.

Stories to ponder.

Out and without limits.

I…  I saw blackness…  Yes, pure and frightening, cold to the very marrow of my bones.  Pitch dark like night without moonlight, it was.  I…  I thought I was done, or… I did not think I existed or I had ever existed.  Who was I…??  Or what was I…??  Are you taking notes right now?  I see your bright eyes upon mine and I think you are following this, but your expensive pen is not moving.

The…  The obnoxious, chattering voices were gone now; they had haunted me while I stared into that ceiling, white and smooth, in the corridor and then in the room.  I thought my casket.  Blood was everywhere, somehow I knew but I couldn’t feel it because I was cold and in a… in a state of… absence, you know…  Suddenly, I felt fresh and sharper, mentally, all I felt and experienced was my mind, but quiet, forgiving, in peaceful unity somehow because there were no dual voices, no noise and no distraction.  Just the experience of being there.  And a bright light, not blinding but spewing energy and a brightness which gave me confidence, strength, courage.  It was not above me this light, but I…  I think it was all over, wherever I was, or perhaps I was the light because I found no division between this light and my persona or my mind.  But, yes, definitely, I knew I existed now.  Yes.  Hey,  pay attention–  People should know this; some will mock it, some will believe it and connect to my experience, some will just accept it for what it is…  Whatever it is.

The article will be in the cover, yes?  I need to spread my message.  Or whatever happened.  It is unbelievable, isn’t it?  Is hard to believe it myself, but I was there, I… was everywhere.  I think.  Maybe.  Definitely!  …So the light, man, wow–  I cannot explain really.  I had walked under the very Summer sun before, but this… this was me, and I was the sun.  But I was more, much more.  There was no tunnel though, there were stars and forms and other lights at a distance.  And soon there were many colors, textures, sweet harmony–music or sounds really low but kind of vibrating…  Yes!  Vibrating within me, or around me, or all over really.  Was it all a dynamic but peaceful dance…??  I am not sure, but I was fresh and moving.  I do not know for sure if I traveled or not, if I displaced an inch or not, but I did see everything happening.  The doctors.  The nurses.  The techs.  The constantly loud machines.  And… the blood.  So much of it.  And I saw and I experienced myself.  How was that possible…??  I don’t know, but my vision, my hearing, and everything else was maximized tremendously.

And I was now feeling my arms, my legs, my head, my heart beating steady, but my thoughts weren’t there, it was a blank.  Was I really empty…??…  Mind is everything, I read in one of your articles.  And, yet, mine wasn’t chatting anymore, it was not there.  Perhaps, I was experiencing my mind in quiet mode, a more elevated mind I did not know existed before.  Universal Mind…??  Infinite Intelligence…??  But I kept looking at me and the others in a sort of trance.  I was there but I was not there, like I was experiencing a world beyond what I had before experienced.  Don’t forget to add that to your notes, it is very important.  We’ve just started this…

Your consciousness is not limited to your brain and body, but it is outside them as well.  Through the hidden and mysterious mind, the subconscious mind, you tune into Infinite Intelligence.  In certain human situations, people call this out-of-body experiences and also astral projection, but in reality you do not go anywhere; you stay put because your consciousness is everywhere already, but your mind and body are limited and affected by what you know of your limited world, stored memories in your subconscious, so you feel like you have moved to places.  You are everything already.

Self-help life truths.

The powerful and wise ally.

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”  ~ Leo Tolstoy; Russian writer.


 

An ancient Chinese warrior once said that you become good with the sword and powerful and swift in your fighting movements through working steadily day by day throughout years and years, that only patience can be your greatest ally in becoming the best in the battlefield.

Life is a roller coaster and we are on the ride whether we want it or not, because this life is movement and growth, ups and downs, moments which seem like we are falling off the ride and moments which seem like we are flying across the sky free of all harm; which it is the whole purpose for matter to exist, the whole purpose of life, learning from those moments when we think we are falling and from those when we believe we are flying free like birds.  The illusion of falling off and flying free makes it worthwhile, all that you think, believe, and experience each day, even thought it can be tragedy, make this physical life of value to really hold dear in your heart.  Perhaps you see and understand the development of life itself differently than I; however, the absolute truth is that which you live each moment, not the past or the future but the right now.

And life plays this on us, past and future in our minds, so we can adopt the powerful character and develop the wisdom to experience the only true reality that matters and see past the deception of past and future.  Of course, the illusions of past and future have been given to us for a mighty reason, which is to sharpen motivation and create a sense of growth; because your mortal mind values the right-now moment based on what you did and experienced in a past moment, and your mind values the right-now moment based also on the prospects for the future that you have–i.e. the promotion you are expecting from working hard, the business success and development, the wonderful dinner with family in the celebration coming up, the learning and growth of your kids and you experiencing that, the growing old with your partner, etc. etc.

And for this time exists precisely, the distance from one event to another, because you need time to develop yourself as a human being from the past into the future, where you find value and identity in those important illusions to enrich your right-now moment.  That same distance to develop yourself and design the rich events happening in your life, certainly you can agree, needs patience and perseverance; the character and wisdom to create whatever you desire to see in time, in your life, is found in the patience which takes to create in that time.  Life is always moving and creating based on your unconscious or conscious desires, and based on your unconscious or conscious behaviors; the only difference between positive and negative creations is your awareness of what you are creating or telling life to create around you.

And that difference is ruled by time and patience.  Patience not only aligns with the natural evolution of the universe in creating beauty around you, but it creates strong character within you to see that those creations fit your search for success or that image in your mind that warms you and gives you a feeling of joy; because all the purpose of life itself is that you master the patience to align with the universe in creating your reality as you want it to be.  Impatience rushes the universe like rushing the construction of a building–i.e. if you rush the construction of a building, then, the workers won’t use the best materials and methods to build, so the building will be crooked and of weak foundation, and soon it will crumble into pieces over your head.

 

th

 

See, patience builds the momentum needed to work out the details of something great, or a great creation coming in your path, but impatience rushes that wonderful and needed process.  Impatience is an obstacle for creating success.  Impatience gets in the way of Universal Law by deviating the process of creation and by stopping construction ahead of time, so the ultimate result is rushed and ugly and everything which is the opposite of what you wanted.  Impatience is the enemy of all the heartfelt desires of growth you have in mind for you and your family.

Patience itself is wisdom because through patience you find a kind of peace within your chattering mind, and so your views and attitude about your own life change, they become more aligned with the joy of the right-now moment, and, even though you still think of the past and the future, you now find yourself less anxious and more self-disciplined to find value living in the moment, enjoying the moment.

With a better mental attitude brought on by patience, your mind becomes powerful and wise, because the power and the wisdom are found in the freedom of the moment and not in the stress of the past and in the anxiety of the dubious future.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

Hope and belief

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”  ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.; American Baptist minister, and Civil Rights Movement activist.

 

“Hope and Belief”

It is a sign in the sky,
When all is blue and begins to cry;
And when the drops start to fall,
It is like falling out of love;
And when love away does fly,
It feels like a void deep inside;
And when our life feels hollow and dry,
It feels like withering to little by little die;
And when we have no goals at the end,
It is just like direction from above hasn’t been send;

And when we are lost and set adrift,
There is only the memories we have lived;
And when we stop making new memories to remember,
It is like no personal growth or bliss to enter;
And when we change direction to thoughts of depression,
It is like we lost all sense and determination;
And when we give no sensitive ear to the whisper of the heart,
It is like drowning ourselves in the depths of the seas’ most dark;
And when our hearts stop the rhythm of life,
We have lost the beauty around us which lies in plain sight …

The free mind of a human god!

Sage within.

“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; ascetic and sage, spiritual teacher.
“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw; Irish playwright, critic and polemicist.

     Most of us believe that our actions will make a dent in time and space for the creation of our path to better health, better economy, and better relationships overall; however, we often get so caught up and lost into the murky waters of our thoughts of anxiety and stress that we think that we are making the right choices and cementing a solid path to individual success and all bliss.  There is no solid path to bliss though, no direct path to what we deserve or want, but only the capacity to learn and discover wisdom within ourselves through all the rich experiences (some pleasant, some unpleasant) we live as human beings; hence, life is not bias or egotistical, life is pure and free-flowing, not tied to anything like we are tied to our views and opinions, to our intellect and knowledge of the world around us, so we must discover the truth to follow within ourselves and our hearts, and not follow the opinions and biased views of our own intellects.
     It happens all too often that we have a death in the family, go through bankruptcy, or through some other personal tragedy, so we build a wall around our hearts and we weaken the ability to all emotional intelligence and human connection while trying to protect us from the blow.  We feel miserable and treated unfairly even though we wear a smile on our face and go through life like everything is perfect, but inside there is always something which does not feel right and, perhaps, makes us feel inferior at something or broken or suspicious at others.
    Failure at creating rich value within ourselves, and thus keeping our feelings bottled up by not sharing and connecting with others, will rob us of the discovery of wisdom within ourselves to create all beauty and success in our life.  And true wisdom is not something you find in the experiences you live (although that seems to be the main consensus nowadays, among all the divorces and the wars and the corruption going on around us), but true wisdom to enrich your own life is found within yourself by stopping your ego (the everyday monkey mind that goes 100 mph within you) and absorbing the details of your outward experiences–i,e. being curious about your own life, as in:  Why did this happen right at the time it happened…??  What is the significance of the things I feel based on what happened…??  Why do I react the way I do to what is happening…??  Etc. etc.
knowyourself2
     We cannot expect to find wisdom out there, in our relationships, in our actions, and in all the events out there; but we must be diligent and curious about inquiring within our own selves at all times, which is when we find out that we are all we need to reach all success in life.  Once you discover this within yourself, than you accept yourself as you are and feel, and accept others as they are and feel as well, and you then reach true and immense wisdom which creates enormous value to connect with others and build bridges to all prosperity out into the world around you and far from all anxiety and stress brought by your intellect/ego.
