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

Hidden paradise.

“Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.” – Richard Branson; English business magnate, investor and philanthropist.

Life as human beings have distorted it is not reality, it is a fake reality that societies nourish with the ignorant sense of pride which comes with billions of comatose people; thus, such people who hold materialistic values, which are not real values because they pass away like the wind blows on a cloudy day. This is the sickness of society, the cancerous tumor that they cannot see or feel but that it is there spreading and poisoning slowly from the inside out; and they feel moody and go through changes, and complain about their lives and blame the world for every misery that their eyes see, ergo they are extremely unhappy and extremely attached to the concept of human happiness they create for themselves.

Then comes TV, movies, the media telling people what to believe and what happiness really is, when they themselves form part of the most egotistical section of our society. People’s ego is powerful and it is an entity constructed out of your physical senses and what you allow your mind to experience on a daily basis; these experiences formed in your mind from the outside environment tend to influence your whole being, thus you create your own reality of what happiness really is for you based on what the populous displays.

21231952_1101741169957201_3700036361642786577_n — Society is sick and going in the wrong direction. Choose you own direction.

But, even though society’s nonsense and lack of wisdom, happiness is really an inside job and you won’t find it in people or things, events or relationships. Of course, these things I’ve mentioned are important sources of pleasure and joy in our human lives, and this is something we should aim at getting if we feel inclined to it; however, whatever you encounter outside of yourself cannot bring eternal, constant bliss or happiness because it lacks self-love, as the word says, “Self”–it lives in you, you just have to embrace it and look beyond society’s influence.

Here are some signs you are happy already, even if you do not pay attention to these in your own daily living–for happiness is experienced in yourself based on where your attention goes:

You are alive and healthy: Now, first you need to understand that by healthy I don’t mean perfect health, because we are all different physically and perfection is not something our bodies can ever attain. For example, I suffer from really strong allergies at times which make me really miserable; some other people might suffer differently, worse even. The point is that we can always find a moment in our lives to enjoy ourselves and experience life, because we are alive, and so if we focus on putting our attention on each moment we live we can choose to experience happiness.
Someone loves you: Whether is your dog or another human being, this is a clear sign that you are valuable for someone, it is a clear sign that you matter and that you are a shining personality for someone. This is success because you succeed on sharing some part of you enough to attract another soul. “If you have people around whom you love and who love you back, you are successful.” ~ Liz Ryan; author.
You have learned forgiveness: Forgiving is getting over anger and all fear, and anger and fear is what distances you from experiencing happiness in the first place; therefore, if you embraced the strength in you and allowed yourself to forgive, then you are successful and happy.
You can be truly yourself: In this world is extremely rare and unique to be yourself, because of all the TV commercials and media telling people how to behave and think. If you have found a way to express your unique self and embrace who you are without fear of what others might think, then you are truly yourself and allowing your human spirit to soar. Being yourself has nothing to do with money or a career, but being yourself is expressing your talents and skills through arts, important conversations, meaningful connection with yourself and with others, time with yourself, etc.
You have dreams and you follow them: Even if you think you are going nowhere, if you keep those dreams and goals alive in you and you still fight for them, then it means your human spirit is expressing itself and shining a light inside you, and this light is pure bliss if you pay full attention to it. Happiness is not measured by what you achieve in the outside environment, but it is measured by how you embrace and attend to your inner one.

Success and happiness are about how you’ve grown as a person, discovering yourself beyond the world’s influence. Some people live their whole lives never making that journey of discovery. So, if you are discovering yourself in any way, you are successful and happy already; but you need to pay full attention to that, not allow your attention to follow the world.

If you do this, then you will find the clear skies of eternal bliss.

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

Fully conscious.

“Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future.” ~ Daphne Rose Kingma; psychotherapist and author.

In order to let go we must realize that we can’t live and experience the past if we are to focus absolutely on the present, such present which is the key to all happiness.

People distance themselves, perhaps unknowingly, from the strength to move on because of guilt and self-punishment; the ego loves to feel like a victim and blame you for whatever has happened in the past. There is a related or familiar disposition, a sickness really, in this process of the ego which brings misery, because pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin, just like love and fear, we just choose to experience them differently.

21740339_364033140696721_2799202600123956361_n

This relationship between pleasure and pain is so intense and familiar to us that it is almost hazy to try and see the difference when our minds are experiencing past pains, and it is so intense that it takes much courage to summon the inner strength to get out from the dark abyss. But it helps to remember that this is just another great illusion by that master entity called ego; because, as we all know, the only reality is the essence that watches those thoughts of the past, that very essence which is the real you.

So, whenever you become aware that you are holding on to some regret, big or small, from the past, remind yourself that you are not stuck in that past, that you are the eternal present, and that you only need to forgive yourself and others by seeing beyond your own ego and its self-inflicted suffering.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder.

“The Winged Spirit.”

“Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.” ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam; Indian president, scientist, and engineer.

The Winged Spirit

Times of grief and deep misery

Of dark days in past history,

Jackals and wolves ruled the night,

Wicked men of pain were the sight,

Streets of great pestilence and crimes,

Taxes, debts, of people suffering times;

Hate and fear were the ones in power,

Love and peace did not exist, nor the flower.

Broken I felt my heart in those moments,

My thoughts were miserable torments;

My abode, my wife and children were gone,

Light had left me and to dark I was drawn,

My dreams had fallen into the obscure abyss

Where I could not reach and there was no bliss.

I walked the path of no return one night of fate,

Of death I saw shadows summoning the gate;

Then the path was illumined at far sight on end,

Fear held me at first but then it became a friend,

There was an explosion of light which I did endure,

The love expanded, the warm peace was most pure,

I realized something extremely bizarre and out of place,

Time had vanished, I was within no common space,

Bubbles and ripples were all about my formless essence,

My mind sensed deeply the wonderful quintessence.

Then there was deeper realization and I came to see,

I had died in pain but was now reborn in profound glee,

The Winged Spirit in the midst of pain and turmoil,

Ready to advocate truth and all men’s suffering foil.

My losses were then met with wisdom and true heart,

My fear and anger, misery and frustration had part.

The game

Illusions are about us and all the time emerging,
Thought-forms and mediocre ideas without purging,
Men and women experience ambition in the mind,
They constantly plot all selfishness most blind.

Regarded I the coin of all treasure, the shiny thing,
I labored constantly like a puppet on a string,
Hurt was disguised as purpose, love was not there,
Misery was disguised as passion, stress I couldn’t bear.

Fleeting pleasures, incoming pain, I lived confused,
Society’s schemes, man of ignorance, I was used;
There was a brilliant light I couldn’t see at first,
Madness possessed my form, beyond cursed.

Love had been my savior then and it took time
To stop all anxiety and experience The Sublime,
For I elevated to the paradise of mental peace,
Because she found me the illusion did cease.

Realized then I was the pawn of the crude,
As the servant to the rich and powerful glued;
One lives as a puppet every day of his life,
I had awakened, cut the cord with a knife.

The game is thought by the ignorance of humanity,
Everybody desires happiness but cannot see vanity;
Love is the answer and the deepest connection,
Of the poisonous illness in life is the grand injection.

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

Prime.

“May your time in and with Nature, lead you to yourself.” ~ Native American proverb.

“Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.” ~ Pythagoras.

Love is the only universal constant. Remember that this love essence is not the love most people know, the love of the flesh and the thought; no, this love which is the universal constant goes beyond all this, because it is what permeates every thing and any thing, and because it is what connects us all–Blacks to Whites, Catholics to Buddhists, Muslims to Americans, Swedish to Argentinians, Mexicans to Canadians, criminals to normal citizens, lovers to haters, humans to rocks, animals to air, chairs to tables, light to dark, and all in between (whether you consider it alive or not all is energy, Oneness).

21369492_361448470955188_5039290144399066768_n

When someone truly accepts this universal love, not just with his mind seat of concept and all illusion from the ego, but with his whole being–his heart, mind, cellular composition, behaviors–then this person starts to see the invisible but very intense spirit of Oneness that links everything together, so that person starts a process of transfiguration from inside his being, and beauty and great wisdom takes over him, become him.

Life is the primordial unity, Nature constant, universal Oneness, and it can only be felt intensely if you allow yourself communion in silence with yourself, with your mighty and wise subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, with patience and self-love, with character and confidence in yourself and in the connection you yourself have with every thing and any thing around you.

But you must make an effort to control your anger, your opinion, your judgements of difference in your mind towards all which surrounds you (everything that is breathing or not); for Oneness, true connection with all, can only be felt if you avoid the poisonous influence of your own ego separating everything all the time, making labels and concepts to divide life all the time, and also if you see the love or primordial essence linking us all as one.

This is ultimate wisdom which shall give you all the strength you need to elevate your mind, body, and spirit to heights of bliss you never before knew.

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

The most powerful engine.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date September 15, 2017
No Comments on The most powerful engine.

The mind of the human being is ruled by duality–i.e., happiness and misery, pain and pleasure, success and failure, sex and celibacy, peace and violence, accepting and rebelling, real love and the mere attraction of two bodies, and so on and so forth. This duality is what makes physical life worth experiencing with all its ups and downs like a roller coaster.

Imagine what life would be like without challenges or without sadness to learn from, to raise ourselves above mediocrity. No, it wouldn’t exist. True happiness in this physical life is known once you know misery or overcome suffering.

When the baby suffers the pains of traveling from the nice womb to the outside of the mother, he starts realizing that there is a new world to discover; in his own way, he is filled with joy and amazement. When he was in the womb, he was already in duality, because he felt misery and happiness as well; when the pregnant mother became sad or entered into arguments that affected her, the baby or fetus inside felt pain; when the mother had a foot massage and was surrounded by love, the baby felt warm love and happiness. (Although the baby or fetus did not know the mental concepts of happiness and misery, because his conscious mind was not formed yet since the conscious mind is formed mainly by the full physical senses, but he felt the natural emotions that tied him to the mother).

13087497_991469280934342_7762408034270852382_n

This is to say that to understand the strength you really have within you, you must know and experience pain, welcome it and do not try to avoid it or run away from it. As a wise grown up you walk your journey in life with this duality in your mind, your ego is powerful like for the rest of us; however, you have the capacity to understand pain when you feel it, so then learn to accept it, and become one with it, because you experience life at its fullest by understanding its ups and downs clearly.

See, the problem that most people have and do not understand why they have it in the first place, is lack of comprehension on duality, pain and pleasure, happiness and misery; and this comes about because they just experience life on the surface, they just live their own life as it comes, there is no understanding of why things happen and of why they feel what they feel.

This is just cruising by and letting the waters of the sea rock your boat and toss you here and there in danger of losing your course and drowning. You must guide the boat or ship with a mighty engine, with mighty understanding only the wise possesses. Because to elevate your own mind and reach that state of conscious bliss, you must become wise and embrace pain to be strong and confident.

The free mind of a human god!

Beings of light.

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.” ~ Buddha.

We are a species of energy and light wrapped in deceiving thought-forms and aging flesh, we are that which illuminates the mind and the cells of our body in order to think and move; however, what is reflected in our mirror, what the physical eyes see is merely the shell, the wrapping of what we truly are.

You can know this for yourself in many ways, by the many expression of the human being, and you can absolutely know and experience this when you truly fall in love.

But even so beyond all romance (which is just a small conduit of love), the expression of love is universal, and it is communicated through many forms–i.e., self-love (the biggest and most important expression, the one upon which the other expressions are based), art forms, kind gestures, protection of other species inhabiting earth, etc.

People tend to see this as human beings having a spirit, instead of the spirit having or allowing the human form to experience life. And this is the problem in the world today, because people obey their ego-mind thinking it is the main entity, instead of the spirit which is certainly the energy giving life to the ego-mind; however, the ego is merely a thought-form which is bound to birth and death like our aging flesh.

Obeying and following the ego-mind is sure to design the illusion which will separate us from all reality, such reality which leads to bliss and wisdom.

This is something upon which we all must ponder in order to elevate the mind.

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

Magic source.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” ~ Albert Paine; American author and biographer.

“A man should fear when he enjoys only the good he does publicly. Is it not, publicity rather than charity, which he loves? Is it not vanity, rather than benevolence, that gives such charities?” ~ Henry Ward Beecher; American abolitionist and clergyman.

Generosity

The words of Buddha always are in my mind when it comes to generosity, “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Happiness is the light and flame of the candle, and it is the core of generosity. Sharing your happiness, your inner light with someone.

See, people tend to give money away, buy this and buy that; however, that is just a facade, others will see you open your wallet, therefore that is selfish. Now, I am not saying here that everybody who helps the homeless giving money or a friend with a gift is being selfish per se, but I am saying that the heart of real generosity does not look for recognition. Generosity comes purely from the heart, because generosity is self-love poured onto others for no special reason more than just share and enjoy the Oneness beyond all form which connects us all.

We all carry generosity within us, even the miser, because as mentioned generosity is a form of self-love (as beings of energy and light we all have it, just our thoughts can be generous or not).

Because of our minds and the stress, or because of outer environment chaos, some of us lose that self-love for a moment, or, better put, that self-love gets buried under the stress holding our minds hostage; so we need another kind soul with pure thoughts who can share by generosity, who can really make us feel elevated over the stressful situation we are going through.

This is sharing your light with others, because by sharing it never decreases but the opposite is truth; by sharing our time, our happiness, our hearts, the things which are special to us, then we become connected and grow ourselves.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths.

The Everlasting.

“What you are, and who you are should provide greater clarity about where you have been and where you are headed. Although one distinguishes spiritual from physical nature, the ultimate unification of the two is the consequence of the struggle for internal, external and eternal peace, true love, truth.” ~ T.F. Hodge; writer, blogger, commentator, graphic design consultant, virtual assistant and author.

Awakening, illumination, deep understanding, is a wonderful and mysterious process; it can happen in a flash, in a minute, and in the most simple things. And this is because this process of divinity does not come with the desire of our minds, of our egos, but this divine process emerges via Infinite Intelligence through the patience and non-resistance to the flow of life from our conscious minds, from our egos.

We must be receptive and open, very patient without expecting and obsessing; patience is divine and has the power to elevate our minds and light our hearts in perfect unity, in perfect harmony.
This will really open a new world unto us.

A New World

Stress, anger, jealousy, all darkness,
My form, my thoughts, were heartless;
My passions were unclean and weak,
My actions were selfish, ill, not meek.

Arguing, fighting, and protecting my belief
Poisoned my whole mind in time brief,
Rebelling, resisting, cursing people
Built in me hatred which made me feeble.

My old world was definitely upside down,
My energy was infecting the whole town;
My vision and understanding was not wise,
I was buried in pride and all destructive vice.

One day it felt in me like a exploding Sun!
I became so relaxed, for with nature I was One!
I cannot describe to you the beauty in the fish,
A New World of compassion became my wish.

This is extremely bizarre in its simplicity and I know,
But my new world of beauty did not have a foe;
Swimming with nature was a love expression,
My mind and heart united suddenly in connection.

The Rose of Love

The Rose of Love I gave without hesitation,
You and I, different time, different nation.
Pockets of ether scared me at first as I did travel,
Mysterious energy around me I wanted to unravel.

It all was to meet you and pledge my love sincere,
From the letter and the story of your life most dear,
A jump through time for love has no deterrence,
In my memories I found our emotional transference.

The Rose of Love held steady and firm to greet
That beautiful goddess beyond time Oh so sweet;
There was no moment in time more precious,
God was upon our meeting most gracious.

I held you, became aware of our merging souls,
One godly existence beyond all romantic goals;
Now I know true love does not surrender to time,
Space or form, because love is the eternal prime.

Portal to Elevation.

“Truth is, I’ll never know all there is to know about you, just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candor.” ~ Tom Hanks.

Keys to an Open Mind.

To have an open mind means that you accept that you do not know everything, and to accept that is indeed the beginning of wisdom. And people come from different backgrounds and experiences, so to be close-minded to what they have to say or to believe that they cannot teach you anything is rather foolish, selfish and ignorant indeed.

The fact is that one cannot truly awaken if one has not an open mind, because the process of having an open mind allows Infinite Intelligence to flow freely through our minds to elevate the same; however, the ego makes people believe that just by knowledge the mind elevates, but this is one of the major illusions. And the example is that there are people out there who are true encyclopedias and have large amounts of data stored in their brains, but their minds are not elevated one bit. Wisdom does not reach their minds for this matter; their minds are full of beliefs, ideas, and thoughts from another.

I agree it is not easy to have an open mind, specially with so many nice but egotistical people around us; but in order for us to connect to self-love and reach that condition of bliss which elevates the mind, there must exist the deeper understanding of an open mind which steps aside all selfishness and ignorance for the sake of love expansion and true mental elevation.

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.
