I often wonder how people can live without expressing the true nature of their being. It makes me so grateful that I have multiple abilities to express my inner-being as extensions of myself, in the things that I do, say, write, and create. I am blessed to have these gifts to share with others, and to help them to become better people. We are bound by duty, to our brothers and sisters, to aid them in their times of need. To move forward together as one, and to embrace each others ideas... To understand rather than be understood is a selfless act, and not to be taken as an easy task. For to put aside the ego, and become a true soldier of the cause to perpetuate the light in others, is a noble and just existence. When you tap into the source within you, the world becomes your oyster, and you become aware that anything you decide you want, will be yours. There is great power in that, and with great power comes great responsibility. My cliche laydened, rantings of a mad man, are meant to connect the reader with simple concepts, hold their attention, and provoke their thoughts. Obviously only those on a certain level of consciousness and awareness will be interested in my work. I recognize that my sometimes seemingly pointless string of complicated vernacular twists, tend to turn a lot of people off. At the same time, I recognize that not everyone is ready to absorb my line of thinking. It is sometimes much easier to stay sleeping in a nightmarish lie, than wake up to the truth. I have been around long enough to come full-circle in my life. The square that I stand on as a man is 90 degrees at each corner. The total of those corners is 360 degrees. I am mindful at all times of the fact that my body exist in a world of the material, but I at the same time connnected to the universal One in the eternal world. My life's intention is to transcend the state of the human condition, and achieve peaceful balance in this world, as well as the eternal. As a human being I aim to unite the people with their own individul purpose. To find the spark that will ignite the flame inside those who would take the journey inward, to uncover their inherent greatness. To act as a guide to the seekers of light, but always being mindful of my duty, to remain a perpetual student of life, love, and understanding. I invite you to take the journey with me, to a place where we can overcome our fears, anxieties, and difficulties. The very same place, so many have spent their life avoiding due to their fear of the unknown... to innet-self, from the outside world. Where truth is the foundation, and consciousness becomes the key. I challenge any man or woman to take that journey, and not feel the Godly power within. It is there, within each of you, patiently waiting to be let out. Only the individual can cause their own evolution, and as such, they must absorb the knowledge from life to have understanding, or their vision will not be clear to see The Path. Take each day as it comes, but know where you are going. Plan for the future, but live for the moment, as it is all we really have. When that moment is gone it ceases to exist expcept for in our memories. Grab hold of loved ones and hold them close to you. Be sure to bless those you love with your energy and good deeds. Transfer the burdon of life's greater purpose to the universe, and trust in your own ability to achieve. Always remember the duty you have as a powerful being, to make this world a better place to exist while we are here.
I sit in contemplation of all the more simple, yet greatly significant moments that life has blessed me with to savor and digest. As my spirit learns and becomes more aware of the inherent greatness that lays within, I am reaching for my point of potential but like a mirage it is always further than I think, pushing far beyond what I ever thought was possible for me to achieve. It is in that moment that I see through eyes of new perception, to recognize what was always there but invisible to my lower resonating existence. What wonderful peace comes with knowing purpose, and having the clarity to see in between the negative noise and interference, where the truth always sits. It is confident and in wavered in its absence of error. Nothing unreal can threaten, and nothing unreal can exist. Therefore all that negative noise that we allow to dissuade us from our paths of greatness, is not real and therefore can not threaten us. We create the reality and allow for truth to turn to error because we perceive error, and as we perceive, so shall we believe. So educate the faithless, learn to release the your hatred, spread love not war, and press beyond the Matrix. Be unique, find your peace, transcend energy received, if you seek out the answers, the universe will teach. Look within, mind your sin, bring your greatness to men, bless those you greet with all you have to send. Spend your time wisely, release your mind, treat other hearts kindly, speak peace to the blinded. In speeches we teach kids what words have true meaning. With beaches we show them the nature is our play thing. It is time to take responsibility for our roles as teaches and students of life. Others look up to us for answers, and surety that things are easily dealt with. We need to keep on keeping on, always remembering how to connect with the more simple things that make our life significant. Please click here to see post on Original Guidance Foundation Blog
I appreciate you support, please share it with your friends. This is one of my favorite metaphors for how meditation sometimes works when I'm emotionally frayed. Imagine you're in a deep bathtub and you can only barely keep your head above water to breath. That would make anyone stressed, anxious and irritable. So, the water is the chaos of samsara and the bathtub is my mind. What meditation does for my troubled mind is drain that dirty bathwater out. As it drains, it takes with it all the grime and grit my confused mind accumulates in samsara--greed, hatred and ignorance. In these moments, gone is the static noise of life that usually prevents me from hearing the Buddha within. It is then that I follow my breath deeper to release all the labels, boundaries and tethers placed upon my mind by the ever cleaver, yet misguided, ego. It is the ego that Christians label "Satan." As a Buddhist, however, I believe that we are the only one's to blame for being influenced by the aforementioned ego. Perhaps that's disconcerting to learn, but that also means we can be our own saviors and chart out own destiny. We don't have to accept the limitations of ego, we can be our own saviors. This is liberating to me. Those precious, moments of meditation enable me to simply "be." In those moments I am at one with all things in the universe, which grounds my spirit and makes me feel whole again. Once all the artificial limits are stripped away, the oneness of the universe envelops me with such joy and freedom that it often brings tears of peace to my weary eyes. Thank-you, dear Buddha, for taking the leap to teach your inspired wisdom on meditation, and the Dharma. Did you know that Buddha almost decided not to share what he learned during his enlightenment within the forests of India? It is out of honor and respect for such an unselfish and generous man that I bow before Buddha statues. It's not worship. It's showing gratitude. It is also bowing to the Buddha within all of us. We practice the Dharma to grow our Buddha within, until it will finally breach the muddy depths of life to open atop the water and bask in the sunlight of awakening. ~i bow to the buddha within all beings~ http://thebuddhistblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/this-is-one-of-my-favorite-metaphors.html This is meant to open your mind to a different way of looking at things in the world, nothing more, nothing less…The ideas that exist in your head, may very well be more perfect than the manifestation of those thoughts into phenomenal reality. The universe is endless and infinitely expanding and contracting at the same time. The facts that our consciousness is connected to the ethereal universe, and the human brain has the same mapping sequence as the universe, are no coincidence There is a connection between the human mind, consciousness and the universe..if you are interested in learning more please contact us for reference sites and materials. |
