The Path to Enlightenment: an inside affair?

The Path to Enlightenment:  an inside affair?

I love movies where humans seem to be endowed with supernatural capabilities. They are fun, and they give hope to people. For me they show the possibility of being a human being, shows me what’s possible, what kind of being is possible for human beings.

Hope in those supernatural beings, like in all saviors, allows humanity to be wretched, to buy time, to live below its potential, to live in hate, to live in pretense, to live in unreality, to never have to take responsibility for who we are and how we are.

Many ways to unhappiness, but only one way to happiness

Many ways to unhappiness, but only one way to happiness

There are thousands, millions, even billions of ways to unhappiness, but only one way to be happy

Controversial statement, isn’t it? It is reminiscent to Jesus’ saying: only through me… whatever he said.

Although the statement is grandiose, it points to a very simple truth. Simple doesn’t mean easy. It only means ‘uncomplicated.’

No one is really teaching it. It doesn’t sell. It is near impossible, and yet, it’s been done, and we just did it this past Saturday. We demonstrated that it’s possible. Continue reading “Many ways to unhappiness, but only one way to happiness”

Nothing is enough proof that you aren’t…

military-makeover-before-and-after-293nmCatch A Glimpse: Part Two: nothing is enough proof that you aren’t… and how that tends to take over your life

When you are not something, nothing is enough proof that you aren’t… you can only prove something that is… not the absence of it.

I left off the article yesterday that in preparation to Saturday’s Activate Divinity, I found and integrated a fragment of my self.

Here is the incident how come I lost that fragment: Continue reading “Nothing is enough proof that you aren’t…”

Magical Solutions to life… so you can experience love, care, and appreciation, finally… Part One

Why can’t you really experience love, caring, appreciation? What displaces all these wonderful feelings?

Part One of this article will bring focus to the real cause of why you can’t really experience love, joy, happiness, real connection, gratitude… all the wonderful feelings that would make your life worth living, and make every moment a celebration.

One of the magical results of my online workshop is that they return love, care, appreciation to your life.

How do I do it? It is surprisingly simple. And I just found a poetic way to express it.

I am quoting my most magical teacher’s Monday Morning Memo: always an inspiration, but today especially.

Time is a Solvent

An auction house is an island of cast-offs and misfits where the rejected and broken feel finally at home.

I am speaking of the merchandise, of course, not of the people.

Perhaps I am speaking of the people, as well.

From the age of 18, Pennie and I have searched for buried treasure in auction houses. When you collect the misfit and the broken, you quickly learn how to accentuate natural beauty and disguise the inevitable flaws. These are valuable skills for a marketing consultant.

There is magic in that moment between Before and After.

What is the real you? Your Facebook persona?

What is the real you? Your Facebook persona?

fake identity and the price you pay in your real lifeWhat is the real you? Your Facebook persona? Your failing, lonely, fat and clumsy one hiding behind the computer?

A really interesting article about the state of “you” in this new world of “jack of all trades, master of none.” My experience echoes his. Please read and comment.

Are You Losing Self to Your Virtual You?

We have something of a major shift in our society right now with all the social networks like Twitter, and Facebook. Often people associate more with their online identities than their actual identities in the real world. As the coordinator for a think tank which operates online I’m beginning to see a rather troubling challenge which lies ahead. You see, when folks fill out their applications to join, they have all sorts of ideas, but they have no practical experience in the real world.

Your Mind Acts As A Filter. The Filter Decides If You’ll Be A Failure Or A Winner, Not Your Talents, Education, Skills, Or Smarts

the mind is a filter illustrated Your mind acts as a filter. It filters everything. It works 24/7. The filter decides if you’ll be a failure or a winner, not your talents, education, skills, or smarts

What the heck does that mean? Most of us will never get it. Most of us will never experience it.

Why? Because most of us will never see the difference between one filter or another, we are so locked into our fixed filters.

What is a filter anyway? you ask.

Filter is the mind’s distortion of reality, a distortion in your view of existence, in a predetermined way.

Much like a window pane: it is never quite smooth, and as you move your head up and down, or left and right, you can see that the picture you see slightly waves, and gets skewed this way or that.

A not totally smooth window pane is a filter.

The mind’s filters are verbal. In fact, everything that the mind stores is verbal, or words. The distortions are caused by the words.
