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

Death of deep thought…

“All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching?” ~Nicholas Johnson; American educator and self-help author.

Since the advent of television, and tragically through the advancement of more and more visual garbage, most people have become zombies of the trade of existing to pollute their own minds and fracture their own brains, inasmuch as becoming willing participants of their neglected relationships and poisoned thinking processes.

Most television shows, specially, but not limited to, the news and reality shows, as well as celebrity entertainment shows, deal with fear, as in gossip anxiety, jealousy, materialistic greed and the overall dumbing down of the human thought; therefore, via your watching these shows, your mind becomes affected, perhaps subconsciously, and poisoned because your brain plasticity (your structured learning) is absorbing and swimming in low vibratory images and words which trigger basic fears and anxious emotions within you–i.e., fears, jealousy, gossip anxiety, and poor development of intellectual thought.

Accordingly, this sick mental condition affects your behaviors and powers of intuition, such behaviors and powers of intuition which represent the key elements for all success in life, the path to all abundance and prosperity, your views in life, your awakening to the truth, and the freedom of the mind to embrace the happiness within you.

Television makes people dependent, it robs you of individuality and uniqueness without you knowing it; therefore, subconsciously, your mind alters and attaches to what you see, you learn and form your persona around what you experience, the world and reality are taught to you through this idiotic screen, your brain molds and beliefs and ideas are not yours anymore. This continues at any age; however, the human developing brain is a sponge when we are children, so this is the time where we learn more about the world and the time where we create a strong base of reality. What a young brain absorbs is what the individual grows up to be, either a follower who thinks and acts for himself and sees reality as it really is, or some drone who carries superficial thoughts borrowed from the mediocre masses with no inner vision of his own.

“The dumbing down of America, and of other media-heavy countries, is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a kind of celebration of ignorance.” ~ Carl Sagan; astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, lecturer.

The patient one.

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller; American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

“There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.” ~ Swami Sivananda; Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.

We all understand that the origin of wisdom is not the mind of man, seat of the ego, but the heart, not the heart as in the muscle but the heart as the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, where all true love emerges and fills our cellular make-up.

To rush into things, to prematurely act and make decisions, to say without thinking, to react, is not wisdom from the heart but ego activity from the mind; therefore, when it comes to good decisions and behaviors to better our lives and ourselves, rushing into things is to deny wisdom, it is to purposefully ignore our divine trait of patience.

One must understand that patience is indeed divine, because everything that happens, when it happens, whether you understand it or not at the moment, has a divine purpose, and you must be patient and trust that purpose. Don’t try to understand it or analyze it, because your mind is limited in that regard; just be patient and trust the process.

There is no greater wisdom than to be patient, so breathe, calm your mind, before you rush into something, anything; but specially if it is about some great move or change in your life.

Remember, patience is divine; it means we all have it within ourselves. So, do not look for excuses and say that you cannot use patience or that you don’t have it; because you do have it, but you might just choose to be too ego-centered to reach for that patience within yourself. Know your own nonsense.

Choosing right.

“Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.” ~ Hans Selye; pioneering Hungarian-Canadian endocrinologist.

“To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.” ~ Eckhart Tolle.

What good is it really to always complain to yourself and to others, and have negative self-talks about your own life…?? Is your life really that bad and dark that you do not have any positives and so you must always focus on the negatives…?? Perhaps you shouldn’t always analyze and think things to death, but accept things the way they are and feel more while moving on.

People tend to live and subconsciously choose in their minds to experience the negative more than the positive, and this comes about because the human mind, which is the ego, is more attracted to chaos and entertainment, something to analyze and dissect; however, positive and all things of the heart are not that attractive to the ego, because these things of the heart are purer things and experiences to feel and not analyze to death.

Analyzing and formulating opinions, over and over again, quite often non-stop overthinking, is the realm of our mortal mind, the purpose of the ego; but one cannot wisely trust this process of over-analyzing because the deeper things in life, the ones which matter more mostly, are the more emotional things, the more direct in regards to life itself, thus just flow and acceptance. Flow and acceptance means that they cannot be questioned over and over again, because if they are then the process of questioning will make the mind focus on the pain or failed attempts, and so the mind will suffer, soon poisoning the whole body and leading to illness and all decay.

When challenges arise and your mind feels confused and bent on the negative, you must remember that in focusing on the wounds you may have or on the negative, then your whole experience, your whole world, is going to be negative and confusing; but, however, you will find strength and wisdom if you choose in your mind to see the positive, the things you can feel with your pure heart, without the analysis and stubbornness from thought, the things from the challenge that you can learn from.

Furthermore then, where you allow your focus to be is where your experience will be; so, the human mind is that powerful, and it will create your own experience based upon the attention you direct in life.

As Buddha said, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.” So, pain is in the challenges and obstacles to make us grow and learn wisdom, but suffering that pain is a choice the human mind makes by allowing your attention here or there.

So, choose wisely.

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

Consuming yourself…

“All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Jesus Christ.

“The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors.” ~ Lao Tzu.

Once your mind gets agitated by thoughts of envy, anger, even simple attraction to another’s possessions and lifestyle, and all violence, your whole body becomes infected and overwhelmed by feelings which bury the truth and love which dwell within you, which stunts your mental elevation and expansion of all love and light; because in this process of covetousness, which sometimes seems harmless, you direct your attention to the exterior and to others, and this distances you from your true self and from the embrace of true happiness living inside you.

The human being then, merely because of his thoughts and choices, falls trap of distractions and ego-centered activities which lead him to all kinds of disguised corruptions; and so, these corruptions, which most of the time seem to happen without his realization, deviate him from his higher goals in life and from the free expression of his own human spirit, such which must always be noble and inspirational to himself and to the world.

This appears to be simple enough to embrace in your own life, but one must always remain vigilant of one’s own mind, care for oneself, and honor oneself. If you watch your mind in silence, then, you will discover how overwhelming thoughts are and how they are always popping up and guiding you to temptation; however, if you do not remain vigilant and observe your own mind, then, this mind will lead you to commit serious mistakes and lose the goodness in you, thus lose yourself and become of a dark character full of envy and greed who only lives for the gain of material things.

The good life is one of inward reflection and analysis, meditation and acceptance; because once you master you inward state, then, your outward state, all the opportunities and economic, societal, and all the rest come to you as the outcome of your inward conquest. Your worst mistake in life would be to believe that by envy and greed, and by ambition and hard work only (all outward projections to the world), you will reach everything you want out of life. First, start from within you, then, with patience life will heed to your inner mastery; second, you will obtain what you seek in the world, it will become yours.

To be truly happy you must become a light unto yourself and unto others, you must keep your mind clear from all agitation and thoughts of envy and anger.

The Greatest Sage.

“Discard everything that does not spark joy.” ~ Marie Kondo; Japanese organizing consultant and author.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” ~ Steve Jobs; American entrepreneur, business magnate, inventor, and industrial designer.

People are either of ordinary thinking or of a higher thinking, good, loving people even:

Ordinary thinking ones will always feel jealous of others, perhaps without realizing it, and live in fear, because they cannot understand that life changes by the mind one has, so they believe that life changes due to external conditions–economy, neighborhood, president, and so forth.

Higher or extraordinary thinking ones will always see life with a positive outlook because that is their character, and even though they may be poor or unsuccessful in their own lives they will support and wish well for others.

23031704_1136263353171649_7183004885517543632_n

One may be born in a family of ordinary thinking, in an atmosphere of emotional neglect and fear-mongering; however, your mind is what truly changes your life and not your external conditions or surroundings, so in order to follow your dreams uninterruptedly you must focus in you internal environment, and whenever you hear negative or mediocre talk in your external environment make sure your attention remains within and not without.

Small minds, ordinary thinking, are there to challenge you, to make you stronger; so, even though these small minds do not realize it, they are a source of strength for you, and as long as you have this in mind you will grow and your mind will achieve great things.

A great mind then will drive you forth by creating really strong and intense feelings within you that will mold your behaviors to design your better reality and access the wiser you. The purpose of a great mind is to raise above the mediocrity and self-pity we may all feel at some point in our individual lives, and also it is to shut out all the noise and opinions of the people around you, such people who may be your loves ones or society in general.

Stop waiting for approval or for the support of others, take charge of your life and become the Master of your life; and the Master always stands out from the crowd by making his own rules, by creating his own path, by not giving in to self-pity and pressures from outside himself, and by not following or leaning on others for the design of his life. The Master knows that the path is the Warrior’s individual design, by molding his thoughts, by not letting small minds interfere with his vision, by embracing his greater destiny the Master becomes the Greatest Sage.

imagesr — Retire daily to a quiet place, analyze things, plan your moves, build your life step by step. Your mind is the base to build your desired life, so don’t forget that.

The key here is patience and perseverance while you allow your attention to focus on your internal environment and not on your external one…

Mind.

???????????

“Meditation is not a way of making the mind quiet. It is a way of entering the quiet that is already there–buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person has every day.” ~ Deepak Chopra.

Mind

It has been well said of the elevation of the Sage,
Whose mind touches the stars and feet the ground,
Whose wise finger points the Vastness of no age,
That his Mind reaches the Cosmic, Universal Sound.
But what is it that makes the Mind of the Sage…??
The world keeps dying and the people is blind,
The world keeps dying, lies, wars, hate, rage.
You see, the Mind of the Sage sees beyond this bind.

First it appears randomly within the dark space,
Then it is consumed by the pettiness and greed;
The thought begets an idea wicked and base,
When the heart dies, the ego of the world seeds.
But self-reflection is what the lowest Mind needs,
For it is to dwell and know your own dark room.
But self-reflection is where the superior Mind lives,
For it is where self-love and the flower bloom.

As the deer focuses on the lights and freezes in fear,
The Mind of man cannot see beyond what is allowed.
As the emergent world turns and produces a tear,
The Mind of man cannot see beyond the ill crowd.
The Mind must seek its own individual place
Far from the beliefs and deceits of the throng,
The Mind must elevate itself to heavenly grace
Where the Light of rationale is clear and strong.

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

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.

“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, lecturer, and poet.

“You have power over your mind, not on outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

When you face a challenge or your mind for any reason gets confused and agitated, ask yourself what can you do to feel calmer and stronger to see things with more clarity and less confusion.

And if you are really asking to your inner self, beyond your agitated ego, then the answer will be clear, it might not come up to you right away, but if you are patient then it will come to you as clear as rain.

Your mind’s task is to quickly throw opinions and thoughts at you in order for you to choose and create behaviors to events, in order for you to create and interact in this world, in order for you to make things happen and build your path.

These judgments or opinions are just tools, they are not you; they serve a purpose, that’s it. What creates mental suffering and chaos in your life is what you choose, your internal decisions and not what is happening outside.

The whole world is in your mind, because you make reality in your mind, thus you make the world and the experience of it. Whatever you encounter, whatever you see or battle in your life may not affect you if you have mastered this mental law; for if you choose your thoughts, if you follow and dwell upon the ones which give you peace and clarity, then, your body will be built in self-love from within and you will gain faith and confidence in all you go through, in all you do, thus eliminating fear and confusion.

The world can come down in pieces on you and yet it cannot affect you if your mind is tamed and you keep choosing right.

Choose what leads to mental peace and your body will find the strength to keep going; but, choose what leads to stress and violent thoughts and your body will respond by bringing illness and more stress into your life.

The Greater Way.

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.” ~ John N. Mitchell; American attorney general and politician.

“From the way most people live, one would never guess that humans are beings of free will. Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn’t. The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal. The unending repetition is a conscious choice in the pursuit of a life dream. But what about the sameness of most lives? Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink, the Sunday football game or religious service–how many of those people are consciously following their dream, training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition? And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day out of habit and boredom?” ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie; philosopher and self-awareness author.

Do you have a goal that makes waking up every morning worthwhile…?? Do you plan mentally your day or you just mindlessly behave like a robot…?? Do you envision a future and work intelligently towards it or you just work and hope for the best…??

You know, most people really believe that in life all that is necessary to achieve all your goals and experience life to the fullest is just being a good person, so they read this and that, they pray and behave kindly, they wish and keep the word ‘love’ in their mouths all day.

This is all good and heartwarming, it molds you as a good and decent person if done sincerely; however, the truth is that the purpose of life is not just that, but the purpose of your life is to find greater ways to absolutely express your human spirit through greater experiences, through all your hidden talents.

Physical life is a chance to develop your human values and create yourself, embrace self-love and expand it through your talents and skills, to be the hero of your own life, to conquer your negative mind (to conquer your villain) and to spread that inspiration onto the world.

You do this by feeding your mind properly, by getting up early, by planning your day, by working towards a goal and enjoying every second you are alive (every pleasant and unpleasant second).

Only you can do this, not your parents, not your friends, not your religion, not the dead people you pray to, but ONLY YOU. And the secret to all is in your mind, the hero and the villain dwell in your own mind.

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

The eternal dance.

“True happiness is… to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.” ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca; Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and humorist.

“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.” ~ Michael Jackson.

Happiness is not something esoteric and mysterious, but happiness is the very experience of the moment by allowing your full attention to be expressed in that particular situation.

37b11bde2a09bf4328cd2695c2a580ab--psychic-quotes-linear — The present moment carries our past and future, and it is the only reality there is. By allowing your attention on the present, you shift your emotional body into experiencing this reality which is eternal.

All things carry expression and is your mind the one that finds either misery or happiness there; therefore, is not the situation itself, but your mind and the choice it makes.

For example, your house gets ruined by a flood, you lost many precious things you had. Now, you cannot do anything about it, what you lost you lost; but, however, your mind is the one who chooses to relive the past and cry over what you lost, or your mind can choose to look into the good things in the present–perhaps that you and your family are alive, that you have friends who support you, that you can be patient and strong and work towards a better life, etc.

By acknowledging the present moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant, you free your mind from suffering, from thinking of the past and/or future; therefore, you don’t live in the illusion of a past memory or in the vision of a future, but you embrace the present and live in the reality which is eternal.

Your mind is everything, everything you think and feel is due to your mind; so, if you control your mind and allow it to live in what’s happening around you, in the present, then you can avoid the painful lingering of thoughts which do not help you move forward but which only serve the purpose of crippling you emotionally.

Control your reactions by knowing yourself, then your mind will shift to the present things which can help you experience happy moments. Constant happiness.
