Internal revolution.

“We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that should matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.” ~ Tony Robbins.

“One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.” ~ Lao Tzu.

To live life is not just to survive but to overcome and awaken to deeper truth, and to awaken to deeper truth one must question and meditate and not just blindly obey and follow.

Sadly, what most people in this world do is to obey and follow, perhaps without actually knowing it, choosing their own superficial ignorance and the ignorance of others.

But the truth of life then, the answers to all the questions of your purpose, of what is right and wrong, of where you are going, of what death really is, etc. etc., are found in questioning yourself, not questioning the world but yourself.

Questioning yourself means meditating about your reactions, your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviors; furthermore, it means analyzing carefully and truthfully all the beliefs you have, the ideas, the surroundings, the people influencing you.

All that you come to realize then, if you do this, is that everything to develop yourself and your life to find truth, and thus live by the truth, is self-love, which is to respect yourself enough to change your thinking and behaving to embrace true happiness and be guided by wisdom and not by ego-centered activities.

This means an internal revolution, and this means destruction of the old you to create the new you. It is to empty your mind and become free, because once this happens then your mind is not confused and suffering anymore but free to create itself and elevate itself.

And then, once your mind is free and full of self-love, you can help others by example.

The Magical Core.

“Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return. Each separate being in the universe returns to the common source. Returning to the source is serenity. If you don’t realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow. When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king. Immersed in the wonder of the Tao, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready.” ~ Lao Tzu.

Meditation is the core or essence of life, contemplation, the absorption of wisdom, the reflection of your inner being to strengthen your outer being and the one living in the world of form and deception. ‘

During meditation you do not engage with any thoughts, you just flow in peace and harmony, one with Source, and see thoughts rise and vanish; you focus upon the breath of life, your breath in the moment. This is life.

For the awakened one, the true sage, life is just like meditation; you keep yourself immersed in peace and harmony, mind without heated thoughts and tempests that could rattle your meditation, flowing with what is, not rejecting whatever happens but accepting it, watching your emotions and reflecting upon the content of those emotions.

This process of meditation in life vanishes fear, because all fear comes from an agitated and perturbed mind, an unruly and rogue mind, a mind who always wants to be in control; therefore, if the mind in question is under meditation, then there exists no agitation and perturbation, for the mind dwells in peace and harmony, one with what is, and so there is no energy agent creating fear or great confusion.

And this higher mind, which is in meditation, reflects inwardly, watches the movements of Nature inwardly; and so, there is no beliefs and distractions from the outside, because this mind knows that whatever is outside is the illusion tied to space and time, tied to moods and changes, tied to all creation of man.

And this mind knows that the eternal reality is only inside, outside there is just a window into physical experience; and it knows and understands that all evolution and elevation happens from the inside.

Remind yourself to keep watch on your own mind, maintain an inner attitude of meditation every day, and erase all fear from your thoughts and actions.

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.

The taming of the brute.

“In the age of technology there is constant access to vast amounts of information. The basket overflows; people get overwhelmed; the eye of the storm is not so much what goes on in the world, it is the confusion of how to think, feel, digest, and react to what goes on.” Criss Jami; American poet, essayist, author, and existentialist philosopher.

“Until you realize how easily it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game.” ~ Evita Ochel; consciousness expansion teacher, author, optimal health and wellness expert, holistic nutritionist, yoga and meditation teacher, and web TV host.

When we experience anything at all, our minds create thoughts regarding that experience; however, our task and challenge is to choose those thoughts with wisdom, thus lead ourselves to happy outcomes.

But, having said that, most of the population of the world are ignorant of this, even though they can be good people they let thoughts randomly guide them, thus create the outcomes in their lives; and this is so because the ego lives in the reaction of the ignorant.

Real-knowledge-is-to-know-the-extent-of-ones-ignorance.-500x471

In order to tame your own ego, control and choose your thoughts, so people, events, and the world do not control you, you must be fully conscious and aware of your reactions, you must not react but wait, give time to information to be analyzed, gather facts and involve the wisdom of your heart.

If you only react based on knowledge your ego gives you in the moment, you might just fall prey of your stubborn ignorance.

True intelligence to decide does not live in the mind, because in the mind you only find facts and data your physical senses gather; and precisely this most of the time may trick you.

True intelligence is absorbed by your heart through Infinite Intelligence; and there is where you find wisdom to make big decisions.

True intelligence is the one you must use daily, and true intelligence comes from the Infinite Mind, known as the subconscious mind. The subconscious works through the silencing of your mortal mind/your ego/the brute thoughts popping up all the time.

When your heart is pure, or without the influence of your ego and the beliefs and reactive thoughts it forces upon it, then you can listen to this Infinite Intelligence or subconscious; thus, patient and wise communion with your heart and its whispering give you that mighty insight you need into any decision you make.

Be patient, don’t react, wait for the heart, do not follow simply your impulsive ego.

Silent killer.

“We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh; Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist.

” From the passions arise worry, and from worry arises fear. Away with the passions, and no fear, no worry.” ~ Buddha.

Worry is another delusion which spreads sickness into the body, its power if allowed robs you of the joy of the present moment; consequently, it weakens you into thinking that you are progressing or better preparing yourself for whatever the future holds in this process of worry, but all it does is bring more suffering to your body and designing non-existing images in your mind. This is full-blown ego.

thu — Worry becomes an obsession and it darkens the path to light until the light disappears completely.

In those moments of worry and anxiety, redirect your mind to the present moment by doing something which can occupy your mind, perhaps art or entertainment as examples; for if the mind is occupied on the present moment, on what is actually happening, then there is no room for worry.

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure (free of worry in this case), joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

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

Without loss.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ~ C. S. Lewis; British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” ~ Winston Churchill; British statesman, army officer, and writer.

People allow themselves to be so overwhelmed by their failed attempts, and also many times people compare their successes or failures to other people’s; thus, missing the focus in their own path, missing the opportunities they could see if they let themselves stop comparing and judging in their minds.
If they were wiser, then they would experience bliss in their own journey; and when you experience bliss, true bliss, in your own journey, then, there is no time or wish to compare yourself or your efforts with somebody else’s. Like this, the sky looks bluer than ever before to you.

We are here to experience and learn, not to wallow in misery and waste time and effort measuring our progress with that of others; and in the same sense, we are not here to give up because the challenge seems too big or too rough for us. If you feel tired or exhausted, then take a break, gather yourself and your thoughts, look into your heart, and keep going.

The reality is that there is no failure in life, but there is the illusion your mind creates of failure. And so, it is wise to understand this, if it is about your life’s progress; because there should be nothing more important to you than your own life’s progress–spiritual, mental, and financial. If you do not have your own experience of progress, how can you guide others to their own progress…??

Life is about leading and helping others with your own example, not just with your kind words (this is the stupid nonsense most idiots are about, and that is why 90% of the world’s minds are mediocre and pitiful).

No interference.

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.” ~ Bruce Lee.

“When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.” ~ Joyce Meyer; Christian author, speaker, and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

This is the great prison of suffering of humanity, and the great tool of elevation of humanity at the same time. Through thinking we all communicate and move in this world of form, and it is so crucial in our everyday living that most people make it a god unto themselves; therefore, they praise the content of their thoughts–i.e., all the data, the beliefs, the ideas, the memories, the cultural background, and so on and so forth. This strengthens the illusion of thought being their true nature, this transforms people into automatons, which are basically artificial beings acting in a monotonous, routine manner, without active intelligence.

Now, thinking and analyzing things carefully is extremely important, specially for intellectual thinkers like myself and others; however, thinking may become an obsession where we dwell on memories and future visions, where we live with regret and stress, and where our whole perspective of ourselves and of life comes from thought. This, whether you know it or not, contradicts the heart of life; because life is not moved by thought, but life is moved by the hearts and good intentions of people which act on their own paths.

You see, real love makes the world progress, build, innovate, into the spiritual, mental, and financial aspects; and so, real love then, must be action.

While you sit and think, ponder your life and your next move, time passes and opportunities go by like dreams at night. While you sit and think, fears appear, images of reality get distorted, you experience regret or other forms of stress and fear in your mind/the ego.
The pure heart never experiences these by itself, but is always thought which brings the weight upon the heart; therefore, is always thought the one which creates more problems than solutions if we allow it to do so in every situation we encounter.

It is wise to understand then that thought, or thinking, might be left alone at times, so you can build true and direct communication with your own heart, pray in it, absorb the wisdom, and renew yourself.

Enlightening matters.

“God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.” ~ French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher.

There are people out there that all they do is watch the news about the world and wallow in its misery, whether animal killing or human injustice they are always complaining and suffering about something. But this is not really living, because true living is to allow your attention to steer to more positive and enlightening matters.

Of course there is suffering and misery in the world, that is why is the world; if there were no suffering and misery, then what would be the point of having a physical existence. What would we do without challenges…?? How could you know what happiness is without sadness…??

So, the terrible sin, if we could call it a sin, is to not focus your attention on the beautiful things in life. Among the misery, suffering, and corruption, there is always some ray of sunshine; honor life, be conscious and look for the good things.

Once you practice this and emanate a positive view and peace out into the world, then you give your gift to the world, you beautify wherever your attention goes.

Stop asking questions in your mind and overwhelming yourself with whatever is ugly and sad in the world, be conscious of other people’s pain but do not dwell in it; if you do dwell in it, then your mind/your ego slowly will darken and you will adopt negative views which will affect you and your life.

The free mind of a human god!

Cast down…

“THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental.” ~ The kybalion.

“Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art.” ~ The kybalion; Study Manuscript of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece, by Three Initiates.

Man has been cast down to earth, or, better put, man has been given humanity and tied to a mortal thought process, because in order to experience the “reality” of matter, all time and space, and enjoy its joys as well as learn the lessons from its pains, there has to exist a fake entity which creates fear, thus thought which makes us flawed and mortal on this earth is born.

It is the Bible’s famous story of Lucifer and his angels cast down to earth, banished to hell because of some rebellious attitude. Lucifer was once the most beautiful being, the angel of dawn or the morning son; and thus its symbolism is taken from the planet Venus when it rises in the morning.
But, however the story goes, what matters in reality in our lives is to understand that we are God and “Devil.” Therefore, our thoughts/our egos tempt us every day, thus it is Lucifer or Satan. What lies inside our cells, the energy that we are beyond all thought and flesh, the strength and wisdom within that we are, is sensed in us because it is our human spirit to bring happiness to our lives; thus God is us.

All wrong doing, ignorant pleasures and pains emerge from the unruly mind, the conscious mind of our mortality; such mind which if allowed to roam free can bring us self-destruction and agony. You may see it as Lucifer’s playground, when the mind is allowed to roam free without being conscious of it.
When highly conscious of our minds, we initiate the process of awakening in us, thus we empty our minds from beliefs, ideas, and free ourselves from the oppression of society. This is embracing God, thus God meets man, thus God-man fuses, Oneness happens.

It is all about the mind. The mortal mind was the one cast down to earth in the story of the Bible, and the one that gives us our flawed humanity, our temptations, our desires. If this mind is controlled consciously every single day, the body transforms, energy clears, pollution disappears, and you become a god in the flesh.

Remember the wise words of Lord Buddha, “What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.”

Desire is Lucifer, the root of evil; so, tame thought, where all desire lies, and you will tame Lucifer.

Expression…

“Use this time of fresh beginnings. Use it as an impetus, the force or energy toward change. Become stronger, a better leader, more focused in your thoughts. Exert more influence over your dreams by bringing them closer to your thoughts, every day.” ~ Mary Anne Radmacher; motivational author, artist, and calligrapher.

In order to be productive and express ourselves in a wise way, we must learn how to use our time and end energy properly. It seems like something that is not crucial for our development, but in fact it is.

Most people live and do whatever their impulses tell them, they do as they please and never analyze if what they do has any real value to their progress in life. But by analyzing on what it is you spend your time and energy, you become more aware and thus develop more self-discipline and confidence within yourself.
