The well-oiled machine

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

“The well-oiled Machine“

Far away my land of dreams expands my very human soul,

Where I was born and my heart beats for the terrain whole.

The rich earth beneath my naked feet designs the extensive harvest,

The mountains supply the water, the cool shade, the precious garnet,

The sky is blue and conscious of its everlasting majesty,

The birds sing to delight my people beyond all tragedy.

My mind expresses itself through my daily behavior,

My soul rules my mind, it expresses itself as my savior;

For the right mental expression I require higher elevation,

Knowledge, truth, health, love, the right sensation.

My body is the connection to my very vitality,

I must eat healthy and correct my mentality.

Every day I must act godly and see my body as a temple,

Powerful, incorruptible, poised, well-nourished, gentle.

There are poisons which kill the earth,

There are temptations since birth;

Of the earth my being must protect its merits,

Of my mind and body respect its divine inherence.

Self-help life truths.

Warrior’s strength.

“No legacy is so rich as honesty.” ~ William Shakespeare; English poet, playwright, and actor.

It is well known that life is pressure and stress quite often, and so you might feel like concealing something from yourself and from others. Perhaps like in school, when children, telling yourself you’d do homework later after the video games, when you had your friends coming over to play with you and so you knew that you wouldn’t have time to do homework later, or even have a desire to do so later. Just kids, right?

But that kid grew up. And you must take responsibility for your actions now, good ones and not so good ones, and you must embrace every little thing that happens. This is the mature and strong kid still in you, now grown up, experienced, but still a creative kid that has to embrace imagination and solve problems and accept those challenges with a positive attitude. The attitude of the master of your life.

Absolute honesty means a free mind and an unpolluted heart, and it is the very core of the truly awakened one. See, if you must hide anything or trick others, deceive yourself and keep yourself tied to a belief deep inside you know to be nonsense, then, it is a lack of confidence and self-love that is ruling your inner being.
Subconsciously, something has taken your reality captive, you are not totally free and you need to make up your own reality, while affecting others. This is deceiving yourself, distancing yourself from all light, bringing more suffering into your life (perhaps without your own knowledge).

You must accept who you are with your flaws and strengths, with your failings and achievements; otherwise, you are just running away from the present and from the real you (where you can certainly find utter bliss).
And you are allowing yourself to grow your ego and create more dysfunction in your own mind, while affecting your loved ones and the ones who want to connect with you in the process.

Be honest with yourself and with others. The path to all light.

Honesty is being true with yourself and with others. This process takes a higher mind and is not that easy to keep all the time; and so it is why most people fail at this. Absolute honesty we may call a strength of the powerful, because it is getting over the temptation to lie and using the energy in a constructive manner, a constructive force.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

You must remember…

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” ~ Swami Vivekananda; Hindu monk, philosopher of Vedanta and Yoga, Spiritual teacher and author.

“The Forgotten Gods“

Once, the conscious realm was all there was,

Eternal, Omniscient, Omnipotent, vast;

Gods were one, power was Infinite,

What we call love remained its joyful visit.

The choice of the conscious was clear,

To design life to experience nature near.

Humanity, time, emotion, thought, were born;

All experiences of the New Being to warn.

The New Being was many, they grew and grew

Along physical quality, color, bliss, misery, hue.

The dark cloud of The Forgotten Gods was here,

The mind control behind all religion was fear;

Fear developed into the subconscious mud,

Ready to trigger the mind and poison the blood.

Humanity was lost in the illusion of the physical senses;

Man and women were ignorant of their offenses.

Wrong perception: All which happens in your life, does not happen to you or against you, it does not happen because you deserve it or not. It happens because somehow your thoughts, words, and intentions have masked themselves subconsciously and they have attracted energy, either positive or negative, which has built the progress of your events the way you chose to experience them.

Solution: Grab hold of your life, be a leader of your own mind. Work on not complaining, having good, positive thoughts and intentions. Slowly, your subconscious will transform itself completely and you will embrace the confidence and strength of you as the god you carry deep inside.

Poetry and prose from the heart. The free mind of a human god!

The mind of the fool.

“Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.” ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

“The mind of the fool.”

…But I do think humankind is heavily drunk,

And this concerns us all for we have sunk.

What do you mean by what you just said…??

Be explicit, Master. Please, go ahead–

When you base yourself and your life upon truth,

The true wisdom of the word could sound uncouth.

I do not mind, Master, if the word be true is power.

Trust me, my mind is open like the Lotus flower.

Well then, wisdom lies in what you cannot see,

People of the world are slaves, they cannot be.

Are their lives in turmoil, slaves to a belief…??

Are they chasing illusions which bring grief…??

Yes, they trust their physical eyes and emotions,

All pleasures with decay and painful notions.

You see, young one, the powerful eyes of intuition,

They see more, for love essence is the real fruition.

May I follow you, O Great One? You elevate my mind.

Walk with me and perhaps true wake you will find.

See the river, how it flows without resistance…??

Or how the birds in the sky fly without assistance…??

God’s Greatest Creations of Wisdom in purity,

But instead of learning man follows impurity.

The natural oceans are like the mind of the wise:

Very vast, flowing freely, clean and without vice.

The muddy waters are like the mind of the fool:

Heavy and dark, a prison cell, where the ego does rule.

The path to the extraordinary.

Post author By thegodwithinblog

No Comments on The path to the extraordinary.

“Pranayama is the practice of breath control. The word prana refers not only to breath, but also to air and life itself.” ~ Christy Turlington; American model.

Life can certainly get complicated for us, or, better put, each of our thinking and unique perceptions make life complicated; but, however difficult and overwhelming it gets for us, there is one thing we can count on to get through any hardship: Energy.

Vital energy to feed our inner strengths, to elevate our minds, to get more clarity to face all challenges and problems, to be more confident and determined towards our heartfelt goals in life…

Conservation of energy. The secret to mental elevation and all extraordinary success in life. What Buddha, Jesus, and other extraordinary men knew.

Prana, the vital energy that fills us with life, that empowers us to exist in this reality, is the gift that life gives us, enabling us to be one with life. The three major sources of prana from which we draw externally are: the earth, air and the sun. They all come together in the air and these globules of vitality, contained in the air are constantly being absorbed through our subtle mind and body structures.
You have noticed that most of humankind wastes thought and all thinking processes, behaviors and attitudes, in any trivial and obnoxious enterprise that attracts their physical senses; thus, subconsciously distracting and weakening themselves from more fruitful human endeavors, creating a gap between themselves and extraordinary accomplishments of the mind and body, and even depleting themselves from vast energy, cosmic energy or prana, energy of life, which we call conscious energy but not from any source science knows.
This is the energy meditators know and experience when in serious meditation trance.
This energy runs through us via the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence source, and gives life to all we do behind our heartbeats, blood flow, nervous system, immune system, etc. This energy conservation is vital for strength of mind through challenging times, such is the strength to remain undeterred and positive when problems or challenges which shake life itself are encountered.
It is core to powered and sustained confidence, energetic attitude, and all traits of the mind and body which are necessary for extraordinary mental control and inner and outer success; on the other hand, one that is low or weak in this prana energy will lack self-motivation and oomph, will lack confidence and will be shy and feel awkward around others.

This energy then drives mankind to great deeds and to believe in themselves; and one revitalizes himself with this energy by using the energy of his own thoughts and actions wisely, by not engaging in stressful situations that could be avoided, by controlling one’s own anger and all reactive emotions, by controlling sexual impulses, and by adopting a wiser stance on shopping and in the process of food intake (healthy of mind and body).

Tips on Problem Solving

“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.” ~ Sir Bernard Williams; English Moral philosopher.

Life is challenges, that is the value of life, the rich essence of human existence. Imagine if you didn’t have problems or challenges, you would never grow and learn, you would never feel blissful and accomplished whenever you have achieved something you have worked for. Human beings only know success because they know frustration and failure. Human beings only know happiness because they know unhappiness. Human beings only know how love feels because they know how fear, hate, and rejection feels.

A few tips on Problem Solving for your everyday life:

Accept the problem: Quite often we try to push on, live our lives ignoring a problem or just hoping it goes away on its own; however, this might be counterproductive for growth and for a solution, because it could backfire on us. Acceptance of a problem means that you are not resisting and not feeding that problem by an immature and damaging process. Accepting it means that you allow peace and clarity to enter your mind and so think better, to become one with the problem and not running away from it like it is your enemy. Problems are not enemies, they are there for a reason; to help us grow and master ourselves, master our skills of creativity, of imagination. So become one with the energies of your problems; because those energies can be transformed in solutions if you work with that problem.
Keep calm and analyze: Ask yourself: What’s the worst that could happen…?? Is this really the end of my life…?? Should I let this problem rob me of happiness and clarity…?? Should I allow fear to take over my mind and my body…?? Thoughts of obsession and darkness seem to overwhelm the mind when we have a problem, and by taking a step back, sitting calmly, breathing deeply and meditating or contemplating on the problem, we can then become rulers over the situation and get rid of the brunt or heart of the stress we feel. And remember that stress is conducive to illness and all sorts of problems, specially it blocks your creative thinking.
Remember who you are and look at failure as nothing to you: This is a big one, and one that most of us forget. What human beings really are, beyond the mere thoughts we have and the decaying flesh we see in the mirror, is energy, energy inside each atom that makes us; and this energy is what we call Imagination or Creativity, and this is why we are given by life problems and challenges in the first place, because we are equipped by nature to solve them, whether you are conscious of it or not… Also whenever problems overwhelm you, look and learn from highly successful people and their views on failure–i.e., failure is just a state of the mind for them, and something not to be feared but to be welcomed and learn from.
Don’t be proud, ask for help: Quite often, there is that foolish pride the ego creates, that embarrassment perhaps, that fear; but, the opposite of fear is love, so you have to accept to expand that love to get rid of that fear, and you do it by connecting with others, by sharing the weights you carry on your shoulders with others. As human beings, we are to support each other because we are a collective species, we are one in the sense that we must help each other with the challenges we present. Pride drives the ego and so the problems you may have exacerbate or become heavier on you; therefore, help others with their problems, and help yourself by connecting with others and sharing the burden you carry. Asking for help means trust, and trust is the expansion of love; the expansion of love is not a weakness but a strength, an imaginable power.
Use The Universal Law: This law says that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity depending on the time you set aside for it. For instance, if you say to yourself that you will come up with a solution within a week, then the problem will seem to grow more difficult and you will spend more and more time trying to come up with a solution. So focus your time on finding solutions, be clear of mind first and then give yourself an hour or so (instead than a whole week) to find that solution. In this manner, you will rule your own mind and not allow panic or stress to set in and take over, you will give your mind a definite time frame and structure to come up with a solution in a very ordered way; and this will drive the best methods to use the energies of creativity that lie within you.
Watch your words about the problem: Words, like thoughts, are energy, powerful energy which attracts either positive or negative outcomes. Most people fail on finding solutions to big problems because they ignore this deep understanding; this can either bring more problems and stress or it can bring solutions and mental peace. Your choice… Whenever you feel frustrated and say something negative like “I cannot do this!” or, “There’s no solution here!” you allow more stressful thoughts and situations to appear in your midst, to overwhelm you further. Whenever you do this, you are summoning negative energy by picturing a “giving up” image in your mind. This is the loser’s mentality, but most people do not realize it. The winner’s mentality realizes that there is no failure or losing in life, just challenges to learn from and always grow. So be wise, adopt a winner’s mentality!

There is always a solution to your problems, but the challenge is to keep your mind clear and peaceful to find it.

Self-help life truths.

A little reminder.

“Stories are life.”

They shape our lives.
You were born, you grew up, you chose your path, you struggled in your path, then you die.
These are stories. And the way you live yours is the most important part; because karma, the change of events, the content of the realm of Akasha and your life’s records, the godly essence that moves it all, is all in the details of every moment in your life, of each present moment that you live.
Your thoughts, your words, your intentions, your behaviors (conscious and subconscious), all these are recorded and they forge your future, your destiny.

So live your life with wisdom.

Self-help life truths.

The ugly and heavy rocks.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date August 6, 2017
No Comments on The ugly and heavy rocks.

“A few vices are sufficient to darken many virtues.” ~ Plutarch; ancient Greek biographer and essayist.

This morning while walking my dog I encountered a guy, like I had many times before, bumming cigarettes, poorly dressed and with a really anxious demeanor and countenance. He came to me and asked me for a smoke; of course, I told him I don’t smoke, but it also made me think of the fear that wretched vice was holding in his weakened mind, he wasn’t able to control his urges thus becoming a puppet of the addiction of smoke.

I wanted to write this because vices and their fears are poisoning our minds, and they are keeping humans hostage, not able to express fully their excellence through talents and creative thinking; furthermore, vices themselves are ruling over the minds of people making them weak and subservient. Most of us are not able to be absolutely free because of these vices which act subtly over the hearts and minds of men and women. And then people complain about not having success in their own lives, and also become jealous of other people who do embrace their own excellence through controlling their urges. Human vices–i.e. smoking, drinking, any drug addiction, food addiction, sex addiction, friending your fears, work addiction, etc. etc.–are the very heart of mediocrity and misery in people, perhaps subconsciously; because these things soil your higher talents and higher thought processes.

Habits are what shape us as human beings, what either elevates or diminishes our mind, our thought processes of creativity and understanding; therefore, if we do not watch what we do and just acquire foolish habits, we will not achieve excellence in our lives, and not even a life we can be proud of beyond our nonsensical egos. Habits can destroy your happiness or help you embrace happiness, and it is always up to you, up to what you choose to start doing in your everyday living. Habits become who we are and they mold our futures, but addictions are habits which are foolish and habits which you haven’t thought through; of course, your ego trap is that you think through all that you do, but addictions only happen when we are not leaders of our own minds, they happen when we are followers of other people and society–this EXTREMELY weakens you.

And vices come in many forms and varieties, as you deep inside can understand, but the thing to have in mind all the time is that spiritual values, or the mighty power of the human spirit to achieve all we need and desire in our own lives, are the expression of our higher selves, the expression of who we are beyond fear and stress and all anxieties. And addictions, OF ANY KIND, bury that power of expression and genius we all have deep under muddy layers of mediocrity and filth.

This seems dramatic, and even over-the-top, but deep inside you know it to be true; because there is a small light of wisdom within you that tells you what is right and what is wrong, but perhaps your ego and foolish desires cover that wisdom on a daily basis.

Poetry and prose from the heart.

The richest man alive!

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” ~ Albert Einstein; physicist and author.

“Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen; Danish prolific author, novelist and poet.

The spirit or energy body of the human being, the spirit or energy behind all we do, behind our daily thinking, feeling, behaving, connecting to others and to the world around us in any situation, needs to disconnect once in a while; however, the spirit, or energy, itself is an entity which never depletes, it never wanes, but since our thinking, feeling, acting is limited and fated to birth and death it is surely depleted and marred by the toxic waste of stress and anxiety, and so it needs to distance itself from the pressures of daily life. The spirit body needs to distance itself from all this and get in touch and surround itself with itself–that is to say, surround itself with peace and harmony, with Nature.

Peace and harmony is the deeper meaning/the essence of love itself, even though we human beings have made love to be about holding hands, sex expression, marriage, conversations, and the rest. This peace and harmony creates many miracles or powerful transformations within us, transformations in our mental perceptions, physiology, DNA structure, emotional content, etc. etc. This peace and harmony is a special peace and harmony which is only found by walking or staring at the wonders and beauty of God’s Nature, because God’s Nature emanates an essence of vitality and motivation into us.

Scientifically put, God’s Nature spreads energy into our tissues, into our being, and its subconscious links to our subconscious because it is all the same mental energy or Universal Mind, just kept in different form (one being our human form, and the other that of trees, grass, fresh air, and so forth). Also, Nature’s magnetism forces (that of what we call “love”) synchronizes or tunes in with our vital organs (heart, lungs, kidney, etc.), and that is why scientists say that walking through nature boosts your immune system, gives you creative ideas, and adds overall life to your whole body and mind…

There is a realm beyond what we see and feel in our everyday lives, the realm of energy or spirit; and it is a realm that lives here, in us and all around us, but it is at the same time found ONLY beyond the nuisance of conscious past and future thoughts and the emotional content we carry which can at times direct our attention to things that stress us. Walking in nature and even closing my eyes, while avoiding thought and the emotions thought carries, a deeper meditation, connects me to what we call God and the beauty that is beyond man-maned beauty–i.e., man-made beauty which depicts in fine paintings, inspirational movies, great poetry, beautiful cars, etc.

The smells, the sights, the sounds, the emotions of Nature Itself transport me to myself and remind me of the connection we share. The Oneness we all are. Creation is vast, unlimited, eternal beyond form and quality; and this connection is what the spirit or energy body craves or needs in order to dwell with itself, with the true essence of love. This makes me the richest man alive!

The richest man alive is the one who embraces the traits of Nature and the one who allows himself to be one with Nature. This is indeed the very heart of the ultimate power; therefore, the mighty power to achieve and create anything you desire in your own life.

Ha Ha! Sorry. I couldn't help to share this photo again. Ugly faces lol

“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.” ~ Japanese Proverb.

Fear is the opposite of love. Fear is what stops and kills all motivation in the human being. Fear is made by the mind a powerful entity. Understanding and always remembering the root of fear will expand our knowledge and boost our sincere love, towards ourselves and others; therefore, it is paramount we delve into it.
If something goes wrong in your life, it can be traced back to fear, perhaps conscious, or perhaps subconscious from childhood. You want a successful and happy future and to enjoy each moment, then, know your fears…

Ha Ha! Sorry. I couldn’t help to share this photo again. Ugly faces lol
