Awe… One path to feeling your Self you may want to take
One of the capacities you want to cultivate is the capacity of being in awe. Awestruck, awe-inspired.
Awe, the state, is when the spirit is surprised and moved. Inspired. Continue reading “Awe… One path to feeling your Self you may want to take”
When I wrote the article about racial, ancestral identity and its importance, I touched on something that is not valuable for most people… because I didn’t go deep enough and I didn’t accurately identify what it takes to be proud of who you are, where you belong.
I got on the phone with one of the people who was very unhappy about that article… I was eager to talk, because it is near impossible to go beyond the visible by yourself. It is a whole lot easier when you get input… because what is invisible to you can be visible for another.
The conversation was fruitful… And the insight to me was: it is not virtues, it is principles that form the basis of a happy life… I will elaborate…

Learning lessons and growing through them… seems to be how life works.
But most of us don’t think of life like that, and therefore we never learn…
Even though learning may be the name of the game… really.

Genetic determinism and the ego’s role in it.Genetic determinism is the mechanism by which genes, along with environmental conditions, determine looks and behavior.

I have been spending the last few days meditating, muscletesting, contemplating why it is that different people from different ethnic cultures are so different in one main aspect: caring.
Caring means that you are willing to consider another as important as yourself. And just the way you would not hurt yourself consciously and intentionally, you would not hurt another. Continue reading “Osho: Why does it hurt so much to be jealous?”
Did you notice that you don’t want to hear anything unpleasant? That the title of the previous article made you want to run?
Years ago I wrote an article, who is speaking, who is listening, what is speaking, what is listening.
Not one reader understood it… and that gave me the baseline to work with: nobody home, no distinctions, no who and no what is conscious over there.
Another possible reason why no one would understand is this: because the pretense you live, the fake life you live, the fake you that you promote in the world did not allow you to actually look, so you can answer the question.

Humans, this cunning species, want to know everything to be secure and superiorAll the animals, all the plants on the planet are “fitting in with the system” we call Life.
Humans, on the other hand want to “beat the system” we call Life.
We’ve been doing it for a long time… for about 30 thousand years.

Yesterday I did some teaching with some people and the stuff didn’t go through. I am at a point where I am questioning if anything can be taught, if any change can be accomplished, if the current humanity is even able to go to the next level of evolution.

Summary: An enlightened being is confident. Confident in their ability to be a match to whatever life throws at them, and therefore they don’t fret, don’t sit around, they do what it takes to achieve what they set out to achieve.
A confident person can do almost anything. Confidence is not a belief, confidence is a certainty, a KNOWING, and it is a very high consciousness level… it is the capacity to see what isn’t there… because that is what it takes to KNOW that you are a match to anything, and if you fail, you’ll learn from it… just another way to be a match to life.
We could call the process of becoming confident the Path to Enlightenment…
Enlightenment is a process, that could be called becoming an Expanding Human Being… And the path to confidence… the process to become an Expanding Human Being, is finally ready.
And not surprisingly, this is the same path to a higher vibration, all the way from the puny vibration you have now, to the rarefied height of the 900’s, and anything in between.
When I google this phrase, “become a match to your dreams” all the sites I find talk about the Law of Attraction or manifestation… so I have to suppress my distaste for the misdirection those sites and those teachers carry… and just relate to the sentence itself.
Most of the people, when I ask them what they want, talk about stuff that they have no business talking about. Most, I say, because I do have some, a few, exceptions.
When you consider that you have to work for everything… that the Law of Attraction, if there were anything valid like that, would say: when you are ready, when you have done your work, fully and without cutting corners, then the results will follow.
That is the REAL Law of Attraction. The law that tells you that you can earn what you want with work, that is complete, and thorough.
