The Original…

“Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.” ~ George Kneller; portrait painter.

How many times during the day you have the opportunity to be yourself as you are, flawed, free, without embarrassment, without feeling self-conscious, but instead you fall into the trap of the ego and you shrink before a challenge or a situation…?? How much more time do you need to finally take the opportunities life throws at you and engage socially, or start your business, or begin writing that book, or do what you always wanted to do…??

There is no excuse for staying in your comfort zone and lose all the chances to free your human spirit into expression, because you are unique, deep inside you know this; but there is that embarrassment or fear which is created by allowing your ego to cement and rule your life, to poison your mind and spread throughout your whole body.

See, being yourself, being unique is gold, is really a rare and expensive treasure nowadays; society has designed all these ways of getting comfort and settle in the life you have now, instead of pushing people forward to become better and elevate themselves.
But in order to be yourself then, you must distance your mind from all these comforts which are not healthy for your development as a human being–that is, smoking, drinking, doing drugs, gossiping, blaming everything on others, praying to some pathetic god outside of you, belief in what they call patriotism, and so on and so forth.

Being yourself and expressing your creativity in many ways is an outlet to leave all the garbage from the outside and embrace the gold shining inside.
Do this then, and your bliss will be constant. This is my own experience.

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

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 Greatest Prayer.

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, lecturer, and poet.

How many times do we say “pray for this” or “pray for that”…?? How many times people put their faith and their prayers on an illusion outside of themselves…?? They put all their expectancy and effort into thoughts geared toward this magical illusion the ego creates for them through the Bible, through religions born of man, through a statue or a cross.

The point is that these processes create more beliefs, and beliefs are what creates problems in the first place/what fuels the ego.Beliefs are not facts, but are false entities created by fear in order for you to feel a fake sense of safety. But this leads to suffering and stress.

But if you pray in your thoughts to yourself and embrace that magnificent godliness you are within by doing actions and believing only in the results you can create, than you are using conscience and wisdom, and this will certainly lead to success you can trust fully.

The root of all prayer is patience, because patience goes beyond time and space, because patience is divine, because through patience you allow yourself and the universe to guide your mind towards success or the bliss you seek.

Patience should be your chosen life journey, because the process of patience is wise and it will keep your mind self-disciplined to understand life and the events occurring in life.

Stories to ponder.

The transfiguration.

“The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.” ~ Muhammad Iqbal; Indian poet, philosopher, politician, academic, barrister, and scholar.

Year 2045.

In a distant world where thinking deeply got you in trouble, where going against the establishment and its rules got you excommunicated and locked behind bars.

A dirty and trembling man sits upon the floor within his enclosed jail cell, close to him The Lord of Darkness himself sits under the form of a bright window…

…After several minutes had passed under stress and thoughts of grim death, the man dares finally ask, “Who–Who are you…??”

The Deceiver responds in a haughty and soothing tone after a poised chuckle, “You know who I am, Adam. You brought me here, to this… place you chose.”

The dead air stunk of sweat and hell ashes. Adam swallowed nervously, “…I didn’t choose this. And I didn’t bring you here.”

He was in meditation, brooding deeply. “Thoughts, intentions, and actions open portals into that which is represented by light or darkness in the cosmos. You chose your fate.”

Screams of anguish and people being punished pollute the air further. “Am I dreaming..?? This must be death… Is it not…??”

“How amusing you are.” His lips curled into something someone could call a smile of derision, “Life is all there is. Death, what you call death, is but a door into a higher level of consciousness, one level you cannot achieve in this… pitiful form you carry… No, not death. This is something else.”

“What is this then?”

“This is your world, the one you’ve chosen. Everything exists still, no life passes away; your wife, your children, even your dog, they all live. But you can’t see them, you lost that privilege when you chose me into your life.” The air became electric and cool. The bright window form became dark and the scenery through it purely wretched. “There is a balance for all that exists, Adam. You pushed on that balance too far, and life became… well this.”

Silence corroded the dungeon.

The Deceiver pierced his eyes, “Did you think your rebellious nonsense wouldn’t upset the balance of your life? Did you ever think of your family, how your selfish actions would affect them?… No, you were too self-involved. Your ego and your beliefs, thus your illusions mattered most to you. Congratulations on killing them. Congratulations on choosing me.” Then he vanished into thin air.

Tears began streaming down Adam’s face bathed on the memories of his family being killed in a shootout with police. It felt like he finally understood his whole world had come down on him. Several minutes he felt darkness consume his soul, grip his mind with a vise. His screams filled the air with terror!

Suddenly, a ray of electrified light came down, penetrated the jail, and swallowed him whole! His body and mind became light and each cell of his composition was stretched and filled in.

When he woke up next to his wife, his children were jumping on the bed. Covered in sweat and stinking of hell ashes, he ran to his bedroom window: Darkness and wretchedness had gone…

He looked at his wife and kids, then understood that he needed to stop being selfish and thinking about how to bring down the government, others and their nonsense, he understood that following others means being self-centered and radical while praising his own ego in any situation…

The free mind of a human god!

Forged extraordinary.

“Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.” ~ B. R. Ambedkar; Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer.

As human beings, we begin to understand the depth of life once we mature or our minds mature, or so we should. It is then internal evolution the one which facilitates the greatness of the human spirit through our mental and physical expressions.

“The Wisdom of The Gods”

In spite of what our ignorant society claims, that an adult is over 21 or around such age, that an adult is the one that can drive a car, that an adult is this and that in the grandiose and illogical norms built today, an adult is really beyond all that pitiful nonsense; because, if logically defined, an adult is a person who lives constantly great integrity based on accepting, respecting, and deeply knowing his own human condition–all this cemented within his own conscious awareness as habits and ways of living, following honest and practical principles which may guide him/her into higher levels of conscious growth and more profound understanding of him/herself and others.

As a consequence of this, we have the realization of ‘The wisdom of the gods’: The inexhaustible wisdom we all have within us beyond the thought and the flesh we carry around, beyond the physical aspects of all happenings and the egotistical perspectives and opinions we may have built.

As human beings we live under Universal Law, whether we believe in it or not, and whether we know it or not; and is this perfect and all-knowing Law that determines the degree of adulthood we have reached through the reactions we choose to adopt when challenges arise.
But, in the ignorant and egoistical attempt to control life, the ones that believe maturity and wisdom comes with age and with sheer desire of the mortal mind, are the ones that suffer the most–through rushing into relationships at any age, through believing that they always make the best choices based on their high education and intellectual prowess, through believing life and society owes them something for having lived and worked hard for a very long time, through not accepting that times and the way the world works change and demand a new adaptation of the human mind, through believing they are always in the right because they lived the toughest experiences in life.

There is no excuse for pursuing the world and forgetting the wisdom which is character of a god, because that is like asking and nagging yourself to get a car without knowing and wanting to learn how to drive it. It is pointless. In the same sense, life is about facing challenges and growing in wisdom, elevating yourself, learning or knowing how to drive the car.
If you don’t learn how to drive properly, what’s the point in having it…?? Crashing over and over again…??

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

The golden original.

“Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.” ~ Linda Thompson; American songwriter/lyricist, actress, and beauty pageant winner.

As human beings are born is purity, originality, the true essence of individuality is each of us, but as challenges rise and the people surrounding us shape us to their views and experiences, our powerful subconscious change and absorb new views, they store beliefs and ideas which are not deeply us and which do not define us. So we grow up and cement these ideas and beliefs as our own, we lose or bury that spark of uniqueness, of individuality, of creativity that defines us, that is really us.

But, of course, we still carry that spark within us, no matter how old or polluted by vices we are; however, most of us have forgotten what makes us really unique, special, powerful, able to be whatever we want to be, and that is why most of us cannot really figure out how to achieve great success in our lives, and so we start praising and following others we call geniuses or even people which we deem better than us–i.e., religious people, celebrities, politicians, spiritual teachers, athletes, etc. etc.

You must look within yourself and figure out the wisdom lies in you, that it always was in you, you just had to take the time and stop your mind from telling you who to follow and what to be.

If you want to figure out who you are and how to achieve more, then, stop your mind from all the noise and commanding over your life, listen to your heart with patience, do not rush into any decision (rushing is what creates problems and mediocrity most of the time), and convince yourself that you can master yourself and think positive to allow progress into your own life.

Do not compare yourself to others or to the accomplishment of others. Comparing yourself will keep you down and allow your ego to belittle you.
Be really unique again.

There is that originality, that uniqueness, that creativity still inside you, no matter if you are 90 years old. Originality, all creativity is your energy, the energy within each atom that makes your body.

Self-help life truths.

The smoking gun.

“Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.” ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.; American motivational author.

There seems to be a distortion in the rationale of most human beings, one which is clouded and poisoned by our own subconscious habits, and it is the fact that criticism takes over and lashes out onto others. There is not enough looking into oneself and fixing one’s own issues, which is self-love and so the mind occupies itself on something actually worth to our human condition, but instead the lazy and easy path is taken to tear down others and build this false sense of superiority in oneself. This is the very opposition of wisdom.

How many times you have looked at the news and criticized the way society does something or the way people behave? How many times you have criticized your family and friends? Why do you allow the actions of others to annoy you enough to grab your own attention so you say something to criticize or belittle them?

Human beings have this process the ego has created and which is being allowed to rule their interactions, it has become part of their habits even, where if there is something wrong with the world (whatever it might be) is time to criticize, like some automatic button pushed right when something they don’t like happens.

And most of us do this because the better and wiser habit of looking into ourselves and into our own behaviors is not there, it hasn’t been built into us, because the ego is lazy and it takes honesty and courage with ourselves to have this self-love and inner contemplation, something we haven’t worked on.
For the ego it is easier to criticize others–i.e., our families, friends, coworkers, even people we do not know–and it gives us a false sense of superiority and responsibility disguised as love and constructive criticism.

But this process is the illusion we built out of ignorance and pride, it does not elevate our human spirit but it shrinks it. Conscious elevation can only happen if we are actually conscious and have developed authentic self-love, for once we have developed this we can pour this true love onto others and truly help; but, until then, whatever we do by criticizing and however we disguise it, is an illusion which harms our very awakening.

Business mind. Self-help life truths.

The golden steps.

“Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.” ~ Shawn Achor; American happiness researcher, author, and motivational speaker.

Humanity tends to fall into the trap of society and so follow the mediocrity they so proudly parade everywhere, and then this same humanity complains about this and that and the lack of happiness. The road to mediocrity is easy, but it is not what we are here for. Unless one really cares about happiness, one is not going to get even near being happy in life; because there are steps to happiness, and once you introduce them to yourself and these same steps become a part of you, then you enjoy them and love the change. And so that is when happiness or bliss starts to become you and fill your whole being, and thus you start waking up each morning eager to commence your day and face the challenges of it.

When healthy habits are introduced in the individual, they become part of us and the steps to reach our goals and dreams. But these steps must be enjoyed all the way, otherwise there won’t be any real commitment to this healthy habits and we will weaken on the steps. It is like drinking water with salt to satiate your thirst, you will drink but it will give you more thirst and the frustration that comes along with the nagging feeling.

Our habits shape us, what we do every single day is what we create; so, if you watch TV and complain about the world all day you will develop a lazy and obnoxious behavior, if you read inspiration and work diligently then you will develop passion for success and a determination to not give up in the face of challenges.

Life is not that complicated, we tend to make it complicated because we resist to change and to challenges; and when we do this, stress and fears enter our mind, doubt and procrastination become us, we cower and shrink before the steps to the extraordinary achievements that we could otherwise accomplish.

Then in order to be our very best, motivate ourselves and even motivate the people we come in contact with, there must be harmony, consistency, and vision in what we do. This means that whenever you start your day, you must envision your goals (your goals for the day and for years from now). For example: You want to start your own business, then imagine your life and the steps to take towards that goal; therefore, start waking up early and making plans (this should be your routine and should become your day to the day habit, start saving money for whatever expenses your business will need (even $10 dollars a month or the minimum in your national currency; this will tell your mind that you are determinate to succeed and it will strengthen your habit to be a self-confident individual), etc.

Little things like this, which sometimes do not seem important because we only see the big goal, will construct your vision into reality through time, through patience and perseverance.

Remember, the focus one gives daily to small habits or details builds empires and great success through perseverance.

Self-help life truths.

The Method of The Wise.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond the winning.” ~Lao Tzu; ancient mystic, philosopher, and writer.

“Learn to let go”

Happiness or peace, or love, or any emotion of well-being or tranquility within you is pure, untainted, natural; and that means that it is a condition or essence already there, inside you. You do not have to do anything special to experience that emotion of peace; however, since we have problems at work, or with our families, or any other issues in life, we have an ego, so we tend to design and follow these thoughts of stress which cover the natural peace we already have within us, thoughts of stress which create feelings of anger, jealousy, hatred, exhaustion, and the rest which spread in our bodies poisoning our minds and hearts.

The most difficult thing for most people is to let go of these harmful thoughts and feelings of stress and anger they feel. But if you can understand deeply beyond your own ego, and remember that you are peace already, whenever you think and feel stress because of things happening in your outer environment, then, you will start to embrace this peace. Of course, this comes through practice, by reminding yourself every time of this whenever you think and feel stress of any kind.

If you do this, your life will become less heavy and stressful, because everything you experience and go through is mind. Your physical senses translate every experience into thought form, so you think and feel whatever thought imposes upon you.

Remember what Buddha said, “What you think, you become.”
You think stress, you become stress.
You think peace, you become peace.

Learn to let go.

Opposite friends.

“The Mind-Heart Struggle.”

Quite often in our lives we must deal with pressure and decision-making processes, but this is not easy because we must juggle work life, family life, our-type-of-society life, deeply personal life as inner struggles, and many more aspects of our unique daily living which throw challenges at us. So, many times we find ourselves pinned against a wall, sort of speak.

We must decide what to do in certain situations, but at the same time there is something nagging within us that we do not recognize; then it feels like a dark, heavy cloud, because we know in our minds a solution or a way to direct our decision, but there is also something else telling us something different or making us worried about the decision our minds have made. And thus sometimes wrong decisions can be made. This is the Mind-Heart Struggle we all go through at some point in our lives, specially when big decisions have to be made.

We must use wisdom for these big decisions, not just information or knowledge about the matter in question, but inner wisdom which is what our intuition and Infinite Intelligence can only give us. But you must understand that the wisdom in you, which comes from intuition and Infinite Intelligence like above-mentioned, does not cave or respond to pressure like your flawed conscious mind does, because the wisdom flowing in your subconscious follows only its own process. It’s own process being wise, being patience and time.

Sometimes we need to relax our anxious conscious minds and take some time to let the subconscious go through its own process. It is like when great artists receive great, genius ideas for a masterpiece; genius comes, great ideas come to them after sleeping on a problem or allowing certain time to pass.

I understand that quite often this is not the way we do things, humans tend to rush important decisions, specially when there is passion or anger involved; but, however, from my own experience and studies of the subconscious, I know this is paramount when dealing with very important decisions in my life.

The Struggle within

Important decisions have to be made from a point of love–and by love I do not mean romantic love, but I mean honesty and love for the matter we are trying to resolve or decide. One must be patient and let the mind and heart reach the same sensation or feeling within you, if they are opposites in this, then, you will probably end up with problems and suffering consequences.

Everything in our lives must be harmonious to be truly successful, and even though this is not easy there has to be coherence in the decisions we consider important in our lives. The heart and the mind have been given to us not to be opposites and confuse us (we choose to confuse ourselves out of ignorance), but they have been given to us to guide us into the same direction. Into bliss.
