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

Beyond the ego of man.

 

Due to the power-mongering and mind-controlling agenda of the Church, many ancient manuscripts have been cast off and ignored (this happened when Emperor Constantine ruled the land and gave complete control and power to the Church, so they chose some holy books to build the religion upon and the other holy books were hidden away into darkness from the world), because these very manuscripts contain truth revealed which are not good for the prosperity of a deceitful church or religion.  The ego-driven institutions of the world born from the ego of man couldn’t survive if the whole truths from these manuscripts were revealed, for this case you only find the books in the Bible which say nothing to evoke a consciousnesses transfiguration in man, but instead you meet only emotionally compelling stories which boost the ego and start the imagination of the already mediocre mind, leading thus to no independence of thought and reach of the Higher Self in any man.
And while there may not be any direct references in the known Bible by Jesus (Yashua/Yeshua) regarding a vegetarian diet, text does exist with Jesus teachings that we should not only be eating a vegetarian diet, but that we also should be eating a living-food diet (we should not be cooking our food!).
Fruits and vegatbles
Now, it is indeed the understanding of the truth and the acceptance of profound wisdom that which elevates the mind of man from the pitiful and enslaving condition of mediocrity and puerile existence, which gives limitations to that same man, to the godlike condition of a higher consciousness which knows no bounds and creates prosperity and growth.  We should understand that when Jesus talks about a vegetarian diet he does so because in those ancient times man did not pump cows and all the animals with chemicals to extract their milk, and did not exert the massive cruelty man inflicts on animals to get their hide, milk, honey, and other animal-related products.
18199438_1450266441702484_4758607954381029754_n
Now-a-days, a compassionate saint like Jesus would indubitably talk about Veganism, for the singular fact that being Vegan causes no suffering to animals, while just a vegetarian diet means not eating meat but still partaking of the related products–i.e., animal milks, animal cheeses, honey, using leather, etc.–causing yet animals to suffer greatly by the cruelty of the present industry.  It is much worse and a greater sin whatsoever to make animals suffer like that–i.e., being skinned alive to get their hide, fill them with poisoning chemicals to get their milk, shave them raw to get their fur, etc.–than to kill them and be done with it.  The world has gotten more and more cruel and ignorant towards all nature in these present times, no doubt; however, the simple and narrow minds and the lesser emotionally developed of the world cannot see this, for they have blindfolds of their choosing, which are their egos always talking over their hearts saying “Me Me Me! – Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more!”

Here are some of Jesus’s teachings, the ones that the Church hid from people:
(But you certainly do not need to be a follower of Jesus to understand the truth in these scriptures; so, cast aside your ego and your prejudices to read this and accept the truth in the words you read.)  I bring the absolute  truth.

The commandment.  “Thou shalt not kill”

Thou shalt not kill,’ for life is given to all by God, and that which God has given, let not man take away. For, I tell you truly, from one Mother proceeds all that which lives upon the earth. Therefore, he who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink;in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels to decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death.

It follows…  “I have given you every herb bearing seed… to you it shall be for meat”

Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan (these are the thoughts, ideas, and behaviors of the ignorant which bring all suffering upon man).  For that is the path of suffering, and it leads unto death (spiritual, physical, and mental dullness and decay). But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Obey, therefore, the words of God: ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every green herb for meat.

Self-help life truths.

Beyond the everyday slave-driver.

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”  ~ Confucius; ancient Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher.

 

When a baby is born, he’s born pure and flawless, untainted by beliefs, dogmas, opinions, corrupted views, and all that which separates human beings and makes them design stupid differences and all kinds of hatred; however, as he grows up and leans on subconsciously ignorant parents (which might be good or bad, but still ignorant) to teach him and guide him, he thus builds himself from the inside and generates identity and value to himself based on the process of growing up with those parents and in that environment.  When that baby becomes an adult, he does things, interacts and connects with the world around him, quite often not knowing why he does anything he does, hence, he does not know himself in deep, just on the surface, and this causes him to suffer and bring all sorts of problems to himself and his life.

And, of course, the mediocre society, culture, nation, people around him does not help, cannot help really, because they are ignorant as well.  This is the process of real sin we are all tied to, or as Buddha puts it: “Pain is the outcome of sin.” His life then becomes a mess, he gets anxious and stressed, he believes himself to be unworthy of success, his mind shrinks, his heart becomes polluted, there’s no critical intuition or sixth sense, he falls prey of his own beliefs and theories, etc. etc.; consequently, he creates more distance between himself and other human beings, and he separates himself from nature–i.e., from animals, from trees, from mountains, from rivers, from the air he breathes, and so on and so forth.

In short, he becomes ignorant to his connection with the whole of creation and he finds his identity in what he thinks he is.  Thoughts become his world, he follows thought and he praises thought, so his entire life revolves around thoughts from the past and the future (for thought only belongs to the past and the future, and the only reality is the present Now). 

13620094_1166111260118005_640028241895248438_n
It can last for generations without conscious awareness of it. Don’t let it ruin your kids.

 

And in this stupor, the grown man now cannot understand why events, relationships, ventures, and all interactions in his life go wrong and bring him stress and suffering, and make him doubt himself and devalue himself.  But deep inside he knows something, some real essence, even if his own thoughts do not know it; he knows at a deeper level that he is worth, that he is good at something, but the problem is that he cannot bring that value up to the surface and use it to connect with the world–so in this way he is basically in a prison that he built himself by putting his value on his thoughts, when his thoughts, or ego, cannot help him reach that real inner value he has.  Then, obviously, frustration and violence (mental, emotional, and physical) take over him, control him, drive his destiny.

But the cure for this has been in him all along, he just did not notice because he was always connecting and praising his thoughts like some god; and this cure needs remembrance, for if he is to get the truth out of him then he needs to remind himself of the truth.  And this is the truth the baby knew long ago, and that the baby still within him knows.  His real value and the wisdom to discern everything that goes on with him and with his life.  The truth to drive his destiny.  The truth to all bliss.

To get and embrace this deep inner truth, he needs knowledge, but not any knowledge; but this he needs, self-education of where he really came from as an energetic or spiritual being, self-education of the science of the atom which makes all matter, self-education of the society he interacts with ever day, self-education of the emotions he has and why he thinks what he thinks, ad infinitum.  Some call it “Knowledge of Self.”

 Discovering yourself is a journey and not a destination, and it will help you understand the road to success on anything you search in your life, it will open your sixth sense and you will see magical things with your heart, you will experience things you haven’t experienced before, things which thought cannot help you experience, things beyond the physical properties you experience every day.

But you need to remember who you are and the real value you have.  This is done ONLY through acquiring the right knowledge that can shock your current thinking and erase all your wrong beliefs of yourself and of the world around you.  It is destruction of the old you, to thus build the new and powerful you.

As Buddha said, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and with your own common sense.”  And as he also said, “No one saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may.  We ourselves must walk the path.”

Poetry and prose from the heart.

Love, magic, and the immortal warrior.

 

“Love, magic, and the immortal warrior”

 

I WAS JUST MORTAL BACK THEN…

 

My kingdom lost and buried,

My heart and mind poison carried;

So I dared follow the lonely path,

The violent and destructive inner wrath.

In times where magic had taken all possession,

Family, friends, wise teachers and all connection,

In my life there was not any hint of hope or light,

Or even a romantic and noble poem I could recite.

 

In my madness I was blind for needed I to make him fall,

My feet hurt, my mind exhausted, but he would pay for all;

And then it happened for a vision of perfection my eyes beheld,

She upon a tree smiled and my heart was instantly compelled.

My wrath quelled for a time because there was magic in the moment;

Her voice, her beauty, her aura, she connected with my torment.

 

1067071636711171320

 

I was a wretch swallowed and haunted by violent visions of the past,

She saw it in my eyes, in my broken spirit, and she didn’t need to ask.

The connection between us grew, we engaged in conversation for hours,

She became my partner and she, to my surprise, held great powers;

I needed her love and her aid in such quest so we were one and the same,

We shared personal experiences, made meaningful love, expanded the flame.

Then I learned deeply her ways of hating the same evil-spirited foe,

Her family and village utterly ravished under his dark magic and twisted law.

 

abbadon_by_bpsola-d53c4oj

 

Once we planned and analyzed with precision our steps to follow,

We ready were to attack, we penetrated the fortress and his hollow;

However, powerful light and dark forces, great magic met,

His dark soul was ready to conquer us and we fought a real threat.

Yes, we almost died, I was beaten badly and she severely wounded;

But light and love finally won, hell took him, and it concluded.

 

867417-pop_concept083

 

I took her swiftly into the woods and treated her wounds with deep love,

Aloe and guava leaves, she was cured, angels sang to my ears from above;

Then we ate and got merry because we remained together,

For ever and ever, warriors in love, Sir Alketas and His Lady Saether.

                                              I WAS IMMORTAL NOW.

Self-help life truths.

The bird that flies.

“We know that in tough times, cynicism is just another way to give up; and in the military, we consider cynicism or giving up simply as forms of cowardice.”  ~ James Mattis; American Marine Corps general, and United States Secretary of Defense.

 

Yes, it is true that life is challenging and painful, and this is why life, this wonderful physical existence we have been gifted with, is precious and rich; and this is also why it requires a higher mind, a higher person living based on truth and love, to understand why you should see life as what it is and not as what you think it is.  Look, if you see life as what you think it is, as what your thoughts are telling you it is, then you will probably end up suffering in all you do and even killing yourself because of all the enormous stresses weighing you down; however, if you put aside your opinions and immature thoughts about life, and so see it as what really is, then you will definitely thrive and gain the wisdom to move forward even when things seem dark in your path.

Life is like a little child:  If you use violence and try to force your own way, then the child will become resentful and unruly, disobedient and with a vengeful heart towards you and towards others.  But if you use good communication, trust and faith on the child, and, most importantly, patience in the rearing of that same child, then he will become giving and obedient to you, he will do as you say and make life really easy for you.

People adopt certain postures and views of life, either positive or negative and for whatever reason, this process can either blind people in darkness or turn on a powerful light on them, but always remember that life, in its natural or divine context, is pure and innocent like the child; so, it will do based on your thoughts, words, and attitudes, and like the child it will take the course you are telling it to take.  And like the child, life will observe you and see if you give up on it or not; then, if life sees that you give up on it, it will take offense and resentment, it will give you your deserved reward, the reward of someone that gives up and has no faith; but if life sees the patience and faith you have on it, the commanding voice and the deep love, then you will be blessed with great rewards and a life of a great attitude towards you..

TextPicture20170716_0759

The light at the end of the ladder which is your path is always brilliant and refreshing, but we cannot see it sometimes, or even feel it, because we let darkness, knowingly or unknowingly, overwhelm us with its presence.  And darkness always lives within us because it is that negative part in our human psyches, that challenging part which gives worth to that physical existence I was mentioning at the start; on the other hand, we have been given powerful light within us as well, to battle and extinguish that same darkness from affecting us to the point of breakdown–i.e., because our bodies and minds are like very sophisticated computers, they can either run with power and efficiency, or breakdown with poisonous viruses and lack of good maintenance of the software. 

You are the maintenance of your own sophisticated computer, so it is up to you! 

In order not to give up and let darkness take you over in life, you MUST become aware of your thoughts and emotions, not let thoughts and emotions dictate your existence but raise above them and rule them like a god rules over lesser beings.  By becoming proactive and practical, by stepping out of your funk and out of your own biased opinions and narrow views of the sadness and pain in life, you become truly aware and faithful and patient towards life; consequently, life will become your best friend and you will start seeing opportunities and reasons to feel happy every single day (some may call this blessings, but in essence it is just that you are following the Universal Law and not going against it).

Being creative and engaging in activities that create good thoughts and feelings in us, specially when darkness and misery knock our psychological door, is the biggest and most important tool life, in its wisdom, has given us to battle these demons of darkness.  This is not about denying pain and misery, or not feeling the ugly things about life, but this is about not letting darkness and misery consume you.  This is about the bird that flies into the vastness of the blue sky, and not about the bird of broken wings that lies in the dirt waiting to be trampled by someone.

 

TextPicture20170715_0350

 

As Napoleon Hill said, and it is in fact a powerful writing hanging on my wall which I contemplate every single day, “A Quitter Never Wins.  A WINNER Never Quits.” 

And I never give up.  I always steer to win.

The free mind of a human god!

The substance of the unique.

“The speaker is not important at all; what is important is for you to find out these things for yourself, so that you are free and not second-hand human beings.  You must look to find out, to find out whether or not it is possible for the mind to be completely and totally free of this violence, pride and arrogance, and so come upon a different quality altogether.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; philosopher, public speaker and writer.


 

     Human society, because of fear and confusion and the overall ignorance of the intellectual and limited ego, has created a myriad of institutions and philosophies to a false sense of freedom and security–i.e., religions and the blasphemous divine authority given to  its mediocre men, governments with no real human values and equality for all, business enterprises which only seek to grow richer and more powerful sacrificing the health and suffering of the poor bastards who buy their products, the military which promotes greed of power and vast death of human beings dressed in elegant suits of patriotic pride and noble pursuits of human growth, and so on and so forth.

And through all this ordeal there is the mind of the ordinary, everyday man, which not only sees freedom and security in all this nonsense but also finds a false sense of human individual and collective growth; however, this is the grand crystal illusion of society which prevents all freedom and peace from ever growing, and, most importantly, which veils the truth, distances the truth and distorts facts.  Freedom and love, all peace and individuality of expression is found within you, literally within you, and the illusion is that people follow these institutions like their masters and expect to find all harmony in the world by looking for it on the outside.  The world, the universe, the whole cosmos, was created from the inside of the entity essence of THE ALL, nothing was ever created from without.  The plants are born from the seed within the earth, not from without.  So, why would anybody that believes himself intelligent and rational look for peace and freedom, for love and security outside of himself…?? 

wisdomspiritual

     See, the core problem here is not that people look for these things on the outside, but it is that they truly believe this is the solution to all the problems in their lives; so, people look for real love in relationships with somebody else, people look for guidance in politicians which offer a good speech and a good personality, people look for their own value and identity in what they do, people follow the rich like they are full of wisdom and as role models to a better persona, etc.

As human beings we must understand that which is intelligent and rational for our own unique development, that to follow others and fall in their nice traps, it does not matter how nice they are and how good-intentioned they may seem to you, creates a distance between your mind and your heart, or between your intellect and your strong spirit of intuition.  This is conducive to wreaking chaos and all distress in your mind, in your views of yourself and your life, because you have been created from the center of your being, from your heart, the very seed of your existent organism, from that essence which is within the very core of your cellular make-up; so, to believe you will find all you need outside of yourself by following others and expecting others to guide you is literally madness, which is, obviously, why the world is what you see today.

     Let intuition guide you and strengthen you by eliminating the fear and confusion of your mind, but first make sure you have quieted your thoughts by not listening to others and so reacting to what they say and think; so, make sure you are well-disciplined in this, because a mind that is rogue and volatile covers the whisper of all intuition.

Business mind.

The one with all.

“You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful.  It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.”  ~ Wallace D. Wattles; American author and New Thought writer.


 

When choosing your greatest desire make sure it assimilates the nobility and incredible power of life inside you; that rigorous selection, and only that, may give you the strength and burning passion you need to reach success without fearing the obstacles and falling prey of the distractions in the path ahead.  This is absolutely paramount for us to understand when we initiate the process of choosing the right and most important desire, because if we have in mind that life itself is success and also the greatest desire of existential growth, then we will choose that very desire which is brilliance in the path to our goals but also challenging to our minds’ development as life itself, the greatest teacher, is to each of us.
See, the problem with most people’s desires is that they have only superficial and known glamour which do not go beyond simple imagination, and hence have no uniqueness and warrior spirit in themselves.  People watches TV and want to be the successful businessman or famed actor, people reads popular magazines and want that car or that amount of cash, people praises leaders in the economy and politics of our society and they feel they can follow them and learn to lead like them, people see great houses and cars and boats and wishes to possess that same luxury, people hear of great science and/or spiritual educators and they follow them and read their books religiously to gain their wisdom and reach their level of mastery.

But, you tell me, where is the uniqueness and the creativity of a powerful and inspiring desire in that..??  Where is the incredibly magnificent design of life’s ultimate desire in that…??
No, it is not to be.  That is shallow and mediocre, dull-witted and crude, the spawn of a lazy and selfish mind which only sees itself and its ego possessing riches and knowledge without a unique, inner identity to advocate mankind’s higher growth and purpose.
And mankind’s higher growth and purpose is not what the asleep and unperceptive society dictates, and it is definitely not the soulless consumerism you watch on TV, read in magazines, or hear on the radio; however, I do understand the tremendous mind control and emotional hold these “fashionable” media sources wield upon the weak minds of the pitiable masses, but I also see beyond the misleading façade of these thieves of all reason and healthy encouragement, and I experience in myself the incredible greatness and potentiality of all mankind well past what the misleading physical senses tell me every day.

 

business-success
Remember this higher law of the universe, that the true and higher living is indeed life, and this life is success; on the opposite, the law of the lower ego in man deceives thus, that the lazy and selfish living is life, and this life is success.  Now, meditate on them, choose between the two, and do what truly elevates your spirit and makes you into a better man for the sake of all mankind.
You see, growing a true and spiritually elevating desire to better yourself, your life, and your loved ones, is the key to motivate yourself and surround your heart with a burning passion so great which cannot be extinguished by nothing at all.  Now, this is especially true for the acquisition of material riches, because in the faithful pursuit of these your heart has to be in it with a burning passion which surpasses all fear and indecisiveness within your dual mind.
The deepest desire of growing economically has to be built upon the greatest and most noble foundation humankind may yet reach from within itself, which is in fact spiritual foundation due to the origin of divinity and perfect life the mortal body and dual thought lack; consequently, the noble and honest desire for riches and economic abundance in your life must be originated and sustained by the spiritual motivation/fuel of reaching your higher self, and thus not based on the competitor ego which deceives the human mind into believing that wealth has to be attained by means of aggressive and selfish nature.
Life in its true essence beyond this physical realm is an active DESIRE of dynamic evolution, a self-motivated engine moving ever forward, energies of creativity and conscious awareness of themselves as all corporeal existence is brought into being, then the most beautiful and perfect dance throughout itself and designer of all space and time; for this reason, the desire in man to obtain riches and a prosperous life is something natural and good if the mind in question is under the right impressions and guided by wisdom.  The natural desire born in man to have wealth is not something to feel ashamed of, run away from, or even loathe, as many religions and “spiritual” people seem to believe and self-righteously condemn in other men.
Isn’t it pathetic and hypocritical that many religions of the world express great disapproval, and even hellish denouncement, of the pursuit of wealth while the same institutions take billions of dollars from their blind followers to build hugely massive and pompously luxurious places to worship their blasphemous nonsense and feed those obtuse egos they have…??  They make billions each year and pay no taxes, gloat and teach about the virtuous pursuit of a common life with no riches whatsoever, and all this while millions of people around the world suffer extreme poverty and starvation under conditions which are gravely inhumane and that of the lowest creature existing under God’s shining Sun.
Human beings are meant to obtain growth, not only spiritually but economically as well, because that is what the essence of life itself is, unlimited and powerful growth.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in achieving material riches is absolutely weak and wrong.  That one man occupies his whole time and effort in reaching spiritual growth is narrow-minded and obtuse.  The two pursuits shall go together in order to be and feel whole, the spiritual and physical beings we are.  We are dual beings and as long as we have a body and a flawed mind we shall be that, no matter the enlightenment or the status in society.

We need to embrace what we are and what we need in this life.  No wise man can lead a full life either only spiritually or only materially.  The wise sage finds the balance in the pursuit of both.
Economic growth must be seen as something noble and good because it adds to a better life, a freedom’s advocate; but the spirit and mind have to grow with it, lest we become monsters which remain enslaved to our own physical senses and commanding ego.  The same goes for spiritual growth.  They both need to find balance in order for the mind of man to reach spiritual, and also human, freedom and bliss.

Self-help life truths.

The powerful and wise ally.

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”  ~ Leo Tolstoy; Russian writer.


 

An ancient Chinese warrior once said that you become good with the sword and powerful and swift in your fighting movements through working steadily day by day throughout years and years, that only patience can be your greatest ally in becoming the best in the battlefield.

Life is a roller coaster and we are on the ride whether we want it or not, because this life is movement and growth, ups and downs, moments which seem like we are falling off the ride and moments which seem like we are flying across the sky free of all harm; which it is the whole purpose for matter to exist, the whole purpose of life, learning from those moments when we think we are falling and from those when we believe we are flying free like birds.  The illusion of falling off and flying free makes it worthwhile, all that you think, believe, and experience each day, even thought it can be tragedy, make this physical life of value to really hold dear in your heart.  Perhaps you see and understand the development of life itself differently than I; however, the absolute truth is that which you live each moment, not the past or the future but the right now.

And life plays this on us, past and future in our minds, so we can adopt the powerful character and develop the wisdom to experience the only true reality that matters and see past the deception of past and future.  Of course, the illusions of past and future have been given to us for a mighty reason, which is to sharpen motivation and create a sense of growth; because your mortal mind values the right-now moment based on what you did and experienced in a past moment, and your mind values the right-now moment based also on the prospects for the future that you have–i.e. the promotion you are expecting from working hard, the business success and development, the wonderful dinner with family in the celebration coming up, the learning and growth of your kids and you experiencing that, the growing old with your partner, etc. etc.

And for this time exists precisely, the distance from one event to another, because you need time to develop yourself as a human being from the past into the future, where you find value and identity in those important illusions to enrich your right-now moment.  That same distance to develop yourself and design the rich events happening in your life, certainly you can agree, needs patience and perseverance; the character and wisdom to create whatever you desire to see in time, in your life, is found in the patience which takes to create in that time.  Life is always moving and creating based on your unconscious or conscious desires, and based on your unconscious or conscious behaviors; the only difference between positive and negative creations is your awareness of what you are creating or telling life to create around you.

And that difference is ruled by time and patience.  Patience not only aligns with the natural evolution of the universe in creating beauty around you, but it creates strong character within you to see that those creations fit your search for success or that image in your mind that warms you and gives you a feeling of joy; because all the purpose of life itself is that you master the patience to align with the universe in creating your reality as you want it to be.  Impatience rushes the universe like rushing the construction of a building–i.e. if you rush the construction of a building, then, the workers won’t use the best materials and methods to build, so the building will be crooked and of weak foundation, and soon it will crumble into pieces over your head.

See, patience builds the momentum needed to work out the details of something great, or a great creation coming in your path, but impatience rushes that wonderful and needed process.  Impatience is an obstacle for creating success.  Impatience gets in the way of Universal Law by deviating the process of creation and by stopping construction ahead of time, so the ultimate result is rushed and ugly and everything which is the opposite of what you wanted.  Impatience is the enemy of all the heartfelt desires of growth you have in mind for you and your family.

Patience itself is wisdom because through patience you find a kind of peace within your chattering mind, and so your views and attitude about your own life change, they become more aligned with the joy of the right-now moment, and, even though you still think of the past and the future, you now find yourself less anxious and more self-disciplined to find value living in the moment, enjoying the moment.

With a better mental attitude brought on by patience, your mind becomes powerful and wise, because the power and the wisdom are found in the freedom of the moment and not in the stress of the past and in the anxiety of the dubious future.

Business mind.

Winning quality.

“Keep your dreams alive.  Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.  Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”  ~ Gail Devers; American track and field athlete, Olympic champion, World champion.

 

Living a whole and constantly fruitful life is running the business of life, just like running your job at the office or at the production line or along the road delivering pizzas; however, the business of life requires much more focus and attention, because the business of life should be based (and most of the time people forget this) on our inner worth and not on the worth of what we do or in the worth of the company we work for.  Quite often, we set ourselves adrift and follow the popular trends, follow the constant pace of the hubbub, and there is a loss of focus upon what is really important, we get thus sidetracked by the popular news or by the new gossip or by the pressures of this or that.  Our minds get overwhelmed and altered constantly, distancing themselves greatly from all focus and determination, just like a ship with no engine and no particular destination.

We then become blinded by mental stress and the narrow reality we create for ourselves; so, we tend to disrupt our peace and forget about our inner worth, going through life not seeing the good but the bad–i.e. not being aware of opportunities for real growth, such which can relate and connect us to natural life itself as it is really intended and not as we may be led by stress to see it.

And life itself has a rhythm, unlike the office which is ran by rules and man-made concepts of what success is, and this life is then harmonious and perfect, not random or ruled by “luck,” it always has an enlightening purpose and bright horizon to offer to the awakened ones who are able to recognize the hidden lessons in it (even the tragedies we live have something hidden which we can use to elevate our minds into better futures).  But the challenges can be daunting nonetheless and so we must remain cool-headed amidst tragedy and confusion, while we value ourselves and work hard to overcome all those obstacles that serve the purpose to mold and shape us into better and more developed individuals to seize greater opportunities; hence, this is useful to have in mind in all facets of life, from the stresses of work to the dues we pay in our life.

If you expect to see great opportunities appearing in your path, that great promotion, the bright side of that challenge, the value within your relationship, or that growth within yourself to achieve more in life, there is something you must always rely on, hard work and dedication to your cause; therefore, opportunities for growth and all that you want will appear in your life if you maintain focus on your goals and not get distracted or deviated from your path by stress or challenges, and hard work and dedication towards a set goal will alter your mind in such a way that you will see opportunities that you had not been able to see before.

A strong purpose upon a set goal will sharpen your senses and redirect your view with a mighty vision of the future, and noble intention included in that purpose will emotionally strengthen you and add that love you need to stay on your path without getting overwhelmed and deviated by stresses and challenges.  This is vital and extremely powerful energy to build patience and understanding, perseverance and character, which will give you the confidence and deeper insight to see beyond those challenges.

Keep going, even though you may see only tragedy and hurt in your path at the moment, because fear and courage are two sides of the same coin; which is why the fearful can become the fearless literally in the wink of an eye, for it only takes the wisdom to mentally turn around that coin and jump from fearful to fearless, and thus change your conscious awareness of life, of your reality, and of what you should do to reach your goals.  And this is my own experience.

The free mind of a human god!

Sage within.

“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; ascetic and sage, spiritual teacher.
“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw; Irish playwright, critic and polemicist.

     Most of us believe that our actions will make a dent in time and space for the creation of our path to better health, better economy, and better relationships overall; however, we often get so caught up and lost into the murky waters of our thoughts of anxiety and stress that we think that we are making the right choices and cementing a solid path to individual success and all bliss.  There is no solid path to bliss though, no direct path to what we deserve or want, but only the capacity to learn and discover wisdom within ourselves through all the rich experiences (some pleasant, some unpleasant) we live as human beings; hence, life is not bias or egotistical, life is pure and free-flowing, not tied to anything like we are tied to our views and opinions, to our intellect and knowledge of the world around us, so we must discover the truth to follow within ourselves and our hearts, and not follow the opinions and biased views of our own intellects.
     It happens all too often that we have a death in the family, go through bankruptcy, or through some other personal tragedy, so we build a wall around our hearts and we weaken the ability to all emotional intelligence and human connection while trying to protect us from the blow.  We feel miserable and treated unfairly even though we wear a smile on our face and go through life like everything is perfect, but inside there is always something which does not feel right and, perhaps, makes us feel inferior at something or broken or suspicious at others.
    Failure at creating rich value within ourselves, and thus keeping our feelings bottled up by not sharing and connecting with others, will rob us of the discovery of wisdom within ourselves to create all beauty and success in our life.  And true wisdom is not something you find in the experiences you live (although that seems to be the main consensus nowadays, among all the divorces and the wars and the corruption going on around us), but true wisdom to enrich your own life is found within yourself by stopping your ego (the everyday monkey mind that goes 100 mph within you) and absorbing the details of your outward experiences–i,e. being curious about your own life, as in:  Why did this happen right at the time it happened…??  What is the significance of the things I feel based on what happened…??  Why do I react the way I do to what is happening…??  Etc. etc.
knowyourself2
     We cannot expect to find wisdom out there, in our relationships, in our actions, and in all the events out there; but we must be diligent and curious about inquiring within our own selves at all times, which is when we find out that we are all we need to reach all success in life.  Once you discover this within yourself, than you accept yourself as you are and feel, and accept others as they are and feel as well, and you then reach true and immense wisdom which creates enormous value to connect with others and build bridges to all prosperity out into the world around you and far from all anxiety and stress brought by your intellect/ego.

The free mind of a human god!

The lone wolf (1-min. read)

“Being alone adds beauty to life.  It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”  ~ Henry Rollins; American musician, actor, writer, television and radio host, and comedian.

     Freedom is something most people do not really understand because they tend to be deceived by their egos and their pleasures or fanaticism.  No one can tell you what freedom really is, not the politicians, not the commercials on TV, not movies, not your friends, not co-workers, not your family, and not even your own intellect; for freedom is not really a concept but it goes beyond that, so it is not created by man, even though by being able to vote or walk around freely or choose your romantic partner you feel free.  It is all an illusion of the conscious mind, of the ego; there is no freedom created by man, there is only the grand illusion of freedom, and this is why people aren’t 100% happy and there are wars and divorces and this and that issue in the world.  People think they are truly free, and once the illusion runs out then their minds start feeling overwhelmed and overflood with fear and desperation, hatred and anxiety towards themselves, towards others, and towards situations which pin them against a wall they themselves have built.
     For example, people vote and think they choose, but the decision has already been made for them, and this is not democracy but the superficiality of it to keep the masses compliant and subservient, and this leads to the suffering of the many and the glory of the few–and yet the many do not see this, because they walk with a blindfold over their eyes.  Another example is watching TV; today the media exposes news of corruption and violence in the world–  But, think about it, is it really the whole truth that they choose to show you, or superficial news to entertain you and divert your attention from the core problems…?? 
Again, to keep the masses compliant and subservient, minds bent to the will of the society’s system they have already chosen for you; thus, the chaos of a rebellion of the Higher Mind and the individuality of each person are seduced and kept asleep, and if the masses continue their sleep then the illusions continue, rich empires continue growing richer, the poor get poorer, people continue to eat and drink ignoring all health while their minds and bodies are kept weak and chained to lower thinking and to doctors which pump the system with drugs, all profits from unneeded items go up, blood-money from wars and from the negligence of countries on starving people increases, etc. etc.
lonewolf1
     Now, it is the unwise man which follows all this, the sheep whose eyes are closed to that which lies beyond the facade of society.  The wise man understands and knows this and, even though he lives among these sheep (which are his friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. etc.), he becomes the wolf himself because he knows that truth and happiness are only found within himself and not in society’s magic tricks, for he doesn’t let the egotistical veil of the world fall upon his eye, and this is because he knows himself and others–i. e. he sees with his inner eye and so beyond the illusion his own ego and the ego of others create.  He is fully awakened, and yet he lives, loves, and interacts among and with the asleep ones.  He carries peace in his mind and heart, because he controls his desires and reactions to the environment and to the asleep people he comes in contact with.  He understands at a deeper level that which drives the asleep to anger and fills them with fear, which is all economic ups and downs, relationships misunderstandings, and the anxiety and mental distress death brings.  He sees clearly through the veil of the mundane life and he elevates himself to a constant state of mental and spiritual awareness which fills him with constant blissfulness.
     Being alone is a source of incredible energy and great wisdom for the mind, and that is why great artists and innovators, as well as great spiritual teachers, have talked about the power of creativity flowing from the depths of the subconscious (subconscious which can only be accessed through the process of being alone and in peace and acceptance of oneself and others).  Being alone, taking respectful and enriching time for yourself is recharging your inner batteries, the energy of your cells flowing freely and giving you deeper understanding and strength to create and stand on your own, uniquely and powerfully to reach all goals with determination and faith.
     The way to reach this state is to leave the nuisance and stupidity of the world and the society you live in, by being self-disciplined in your own mind and heart and rejecting that from your culture and your society which does not create health in you (mentally and physically).  And this goes against the ego, I know, which always points the way towards all unhealthy options and banal pleasures of the mind and flesh; however, there is no more misguided and obtuse path to self-sabotage of your higher goals and to all mental and physical suffering than to follow your lower instincts and rogue thoughts and emotions.  This should be a reminder for all of us to always be aware of ourselves and the society’s allures.
