“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.” ― Marianne Williamson
Experts say that energy is contagious. Just like when your friends are excited you get excited too.
If you associate yourself with people who are successful then the odds of you succeeding dramatically improves. And when you associate yourself with the unsuccessful the inevitable will happen, you will fail.
"You are the sum of the 5 people you are with everyday."-Robert Kiyosaki
I know some people who associate themselves with groups and leaders who are happy, successful, industrious, confident, open-minded, kind, loving, courteous, speaks kind words, eats healthy food, intelligent and positive find themselves becoming happier, more successful, more industrious, open-minded, more confident, more loving, kinder and more positive in their overall outlook in life.
And I know some good-hearted people, who have unconsciously or accidentally associated themselves with groups and leaders who are unhappy, unsuccessful, lazy, insecure, close-minded, says bad words, swears, judging, condemning, rude, angry, irritated, hateful, unintelligent, drinks, takes drugs, eats unhealthy food, criticizing and negative… find themselves slowly becoming all of those unfortunate qualities that the group have.
Then they are wondering, why they experience those things in their lives. And the worst part is that they don’t know that their family and loved ones too, gets infected unconsciously by the virus that they have infected themselves with.
"Attitude is greatly shaped by influence and association." -– Jim Rohn
You will not stay in a place where there is a lot of poisonous rattlesnakes right? You don’t want to get close to it. Especially, if you are with your friends, family and loved ones correct? You will leave that place because, you don’t want to be bitten by the snake’s sharp fangs and get poisoned, it will hurt you or kill you and your family, friends and loved ones.
It’s the same thing you do when you find yourself in such groups, you leave, instantly, without hesitation.
And now, what you want to do, is to go ahead and spend your time, energy and associate yourself with people, groups and organizations that aligns with the constructive way of life. That is founded in love and that allows you to become a more loving and caring person. This not only benefits you but also benefits your family, friends, loved ones and the world.
"Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure.
Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. "
-Lao Tzu
Psychologists believe that material things used as bragging rights is a sign of insecurity.(i.e. money, car, house, college degree, clothes etc.) A form of defensive shell to hide the true feelings of a person from the public.
Be sure that when you buy things, it is because you truly want it and you are not just buying it to please other people to feel good.
The saying that when you give an insecure person success, then you have a successful insecure person. A mouse driving an expensive car is still a mouse. While a confident and comfortable person who achieves success is a confident and comfortable successful person.
Money will not change you from within. It will just make you more of what you are right now.
People who draw confidence from external forces don't get ahead much in life. Because, all these insecurities always holds them back especially in dealing with people.
Ask yourself this question: "Will you still be happy, comfortable and confident if all your possessions or status taken away from you?" If the answer is no and if you are thinking of what other people might say, then you are in trouble.
Absolute core confidence is being comfortable and feeling good with your own skin, irregardless of your economic state. It comes from within and not from external factors. This is what real champions are made of.
"The proof of this truth is in every person, and it therefore admits of easy investigation by systematic introspection and self-analysis. Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life. men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot. It rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into habits of drunkenness and sensuality, which solidify into circumstances of destitution and disease."
-Impure thoughts of every kind crystallize into enervating and confusing habits, which solidify into distracting and adverse circumstances.
-Thoughts of fear, doubt, and indecision crystallize into weak, unmanly, and irresolute habits, which solidify into circumstances of failure, indigence, and slavish dependence.
-Lazy thoughts crystallize into habits of uncleanliness and dishonesty, which solidify into circumstances of foulness and beggary.
-Hateful and condemnatory thoughts crystallize into habits of accusation and violence, which solidify into circumstances of injury and persecution.
-Selfish thoughts of all kinds crystallize into habits of self-seeking, which solidify into circumstances more of less distressing.
On the other hand...
-Beautiful thoughts of all crystallize into habits of grace and kindliness, which solidify into genial and sunny circumstances.
-Pure thoughts crystallize into habits of temperance and self-control, which solidify into circumstances of repose and peace.
-Thoughts of courage, self-reliance, and decision crystallize into manly habits, which solidify into circumstances of success, plenty, and freedom.
-Energetic thoughts crystallize into habits of cleanliness and industry, which solidify into circumstances of pleasantness.
-Gentle and forgiving thoughts crystallize into habits of gentleness, which solidify into protective and preservative circumstances.
-Loving and unselfish thoughts crystallize into habits of self-forgetfulness for others, which solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity and true riches.
"People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, others the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot." - Archie, (from the movie RocknRolla.)
This has been percolating in my mind since yesterday.
Question: In life, what is the difference between Geometric growth and Linear growth?
Answer: Geometric Growth is like body building that is focused on the entire body. Which means every part of the body is exercised and taken cared of. And this makes every part of the body powerful.
While Linear Growth is only focused on one part of the body. And only one part gets strong and other areas are taken for granted. Sometimes it doesn't proportionally look right. Get the idea?
There are I think, 5 Major parts of a person's life that he/she must put careful attention to Health, Wealth, Relationship, Spirituality and Education-Overall Personality Development.
Most people (due to our society's programming perhaps?) are focused on only one area of their lives for growth to the expense that the other areas are sacrificed. Like how they focus on money first then relationship second. I think that this is unhealthy.
Just like how some retaurants have good food but the waiter is rude. The management only focused on one area of development and training which is cooking and the waiters were not trained properly thus the results of bad reviews.
Or another example is a businessman who focuses only on product development and failed to hire a good marketing team and the results were not that delightful.
While there are firms and companies who have developed all the areas of the company. From the President down to the R&F are the dream team. The cook, staff, waiters, marketing, managers, accountants, lawyers were all the best in their field and the results were all excellent.
I believe, with every fiber of my being that a person who chooses the path of Geometric Growth outperforms by lightyears the person who chooses Linear growth. Geometric Growth might be a slow process compared to Linear Growth but nevertheless is the best way to take. Geometric Growth vs Linear Growth is like the classic children's story of the Tortoise and the Hare.
Now, I think the person who focuses on Geometric Growth becomes more well developed and holistic in a lot of areas. There is harmony or synergy in every area of its life. Like a body builder who has perfected every part of its body. Think about this, what if you have applied the principle of Geometric Growth in your life 10 years ago and developed each and every area as well? How would your life be now?
This post is a bit deep, too deep perhaps. But bare with me.
This has been brewing in my mind for a number of days already. If you have already read about The Myth.
This is about to blow your socks off.
"It's called the American Dream because, you have to be asleep to believe it."-George Carlin
Have you ever asked yourself if there is anything more than this so called LIFE? I mean, is that it? Study, Work, make money, buy stuffs,
make friends , get married, have children, act normal and die? Same damn boring routine everyday and not everybody ever questioned WHY are we here?
I believe that the life that we have is a spiritual one. And most of us heard this before, that we are only living in a physical body and this body is but a container for our spiritual body.
You could compare your physical body to a puppet and You(your true spiritual self) are in total control of the puppet.
You feed it. You make it healthy. You allow it to have friends, have relationships, create a family, fall in love, fail and succeed to gain experience. Study spirituality and religion. You enroll it to a school to study and a whole lot of other things.
I'll use this wonderful metaphor to easily explain it.
Imagine yourself inside a Computer Gaming Shop and there are numerous games available. Now, compare this to this thing we call life and these games are what you play.
Games about finances. Games about relationships. Games about school. Games about health. Games about spiritual growth. Games about entertainment and other games that are available in this world that relates to life.
Now, with some of these games you play, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But as long as you learn your lesson and keep a positive attitude you will win and succeed.
And now, here is where most of us get trapped.
Most of us gets trapped with this Physical Experiences and appetites that we have and instead of YOU- having total control of all your Physical Body, the Gaming World is now in control of you. According to scientist all the sensation that we experience is but a chemical reaction that is done by our minds.
The Gaming World tells you what to do, what to wear, what kind of life to live. Who wins and who loses. Who is rich and who is poor. Who to hate and who to love. Who is accepted and who is not.
In other words, you lost control of your Physical Body and thus fell into a dream.
Sad, but true.
Instead of having total control of your Physical Body you lost control, you lost your way. All these external factors are now in control of you. Instead of what is within you that controls you, what is outside control you. Most people allow themselves be controlled by external factors than them having control of their reality. And most of us got trapped into this Physical Plane of existence and totally forget about our Higher Spiritual Nature.
That body that you have that is supposed to be controlled by you, is now controlled by the Gaming World. And you can't get out, because you got addicted to the physical stimulation and totally have forgotten the Spiritual Path.
Ancient experts on spiritual teachings says that we all got 'amnesia' and got trapped in this stimulating maze. Because of all the physical distractions there is. And we got fixated to this Toy( Physical Body) just like a kid who never wants to go home and just wants to stay inside the playground because it feel so good there.
The so called 'Prodigal Son' has to return to the Father's house where anything is possible and you have total control and stop this insanity someway, someday, somehow.
Now I know the full meaning of the phrase '"You are not your body and you are not your mind". As Eckhart Tolle put it- Most people think they are their mind and that brings them all sorts sadness.
Sometimes when you are so deep asleep somebody who is awake needs to wake you up.
Have you ever experienced having a good dream where you don't want to wake up? You are in It. Time to wake up. See you on the other side.
"If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of
light." -Matthew 6:22
The difference between a Master and an ordinary person is their ability to
hold their unwavering focus, the power of their WILL.
These Masters has so developed their Thought, feeling and word focused
entirely on God every second. That the entire atomic structure of their body is
in their conscious control. Even the beating of their heart is within their
control.
A Master could concentrate their entire attention into one thought for a
very, very, very long time and never lose it. And that makes them powerful.
In sports, business, war, meditation, hypnosis and science FOCUS is power.
You have to keep at it. You have to focus until the manifestation of your goal.
Most people don’t have this unwavering focus and they wonder why they don’t
achieve much success.
When I was studying Magick, casting spells, agimat and all those stuffs. I found out that the person needs to do
ceremonies or orasyon for a couple of days and hold their focus without
breaking their concentration, so that the power will be magnified and will be
potent. Some of them do fasting, chant mantras or prayers to help them focus.
In meditation, one of the basic trainings they teach students is to have
their focus to a single point. They use prayers, mantras, drumbeats, chanting, picture of a deity or breathing and other forms that gets the mind to focus its attention.
"You get more of what you focus on."
In the practice of Magick, one of the training for a beginner is that to Hold
the picture/image of what you want for fifteen minutes without drifting or
breaking the concentration through undivided focus.
For advance students, the concentrated focus sometimes requires them to hold
their thought for days, weeks, or years even. Sometimes it even requires
forever. Imagine the power.
Somebody once told me that the very first training for a student to undertake is, mental. That is to have complete control of
your thoughts and consciousness and not let it run on random. You must have
complete inventory of your thoughts.
One of the best ways of determining, if you have conscious control of your
thoughts is to always ask yourself this question: “Why am I thinking this
thought?” and if you don't know the reason why then you should control your mind, just like a pet dog don't let it run loose, take a hold of it, before it creates disturbance in other people and most especially yourself.
Most people don’t even have any idea why or what they are thinking.
Their mind is like a ship without a captain, just aimlessly drifting in in the
ocean. Waiting for the next surge of emotional stimulation.
Energy and feelings follows Thoughts. Thoughts can never become things unless
clothe with feelings.
Here is the challenge. Not everyone could endure such focus. Their mind
starts to wander and think about a million random thoughts. That is why the
monkey mind of the whole of mankind is in their state right now, just like the
changing sands of the desert that could not be still.
"Where your attention is their you are, and that you become."
The monkey mind of a person could also be compared to that of a ranging sea,
out of control. Just like a child that changes their attention and keeps on
moving all the time, uncontrollable. A true master has control over his mind.
As still as the quite sea. Focus is control and control is power.
When you have control over your mind, you have control over your feelings,
which gives you control over your emotions then control over your body, atoms,
and you control everything.
The challenge to all of us is to develop the focus until the thought about
God and holding that picture will be second nature to us, just like breathing.
If you can achieve full control of your mind with undivided, unwavering
focus. Then the sky is the limit into the development of your abilities.
Imagine the potential.
"If you chase two rabbits both will escape."
Focus is selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while
ignoring other things. When your focus is on God you are sustained with energy, and when your focus is not on God you are drained with energy.
Why the control of thoughts is crucial in the development of the student of
life? It is because with the power of thoughts you are able to control your
consciousness and the thoughts that gets in your mind.
The aim of this article is to make you realize why problems occur and the
nature of it.
When you meditate you only focus on one thing which is God. And when you
maintain your undivided attention you achieve focus. Focus is control and
control is power over your thoughts.
If you ever find yourself drifting, what I mean by this is for example, you
are meditating and giving your full attention to God and then suddenly, a
thought got in your mind, it may be about your bills, things to do, food you
want to eat or problems the moment you entertain that those thoughts you will
lose focus!
The aim of meditation is to help you focus only on one thing only, and that
is God. The moment you entertain thoughts that is not unlike God, you
lose your concentration! You lose focus, you lose power and control.
The average person thinks about more than 10,000 thoughts a day. They don't
have any conscious control of what they are thinking. They just let the
environment dictates to them what they want to think.
"An average man's mind is filled with countless thoughts, and therefore each individual one is extremely weak. When, instead of these many useless thoughts, there appears only one, it is a power in itself and has a wide influence."
Most people who meditate do it wrong. What I mean is when they meditate they
entertain thoughts other than God and that is their stumbling block.
When you meditate and focus to your God you allow all your mind to be
occupied only with the thoughts of God, It may be thoughts of love, peace, health, abundance, forgiveness or any of the higher virtues and not of the lower ones.
We don't think about our problems, we don't think about money, we don't
think about ghosts, we don't think about entities, we don't think about feeling
other people's energies. YOU FOCUS ON YOUR SELF. Be Self-centered. YOU ONLY
THINK ABOUT YOUR GOD.
Saint Germain said that you can't serve 2 masters. That is very true. You only must think and serve your
God. The moment you lose your focus to your God and thinks about problems,
money, or anything that is not your God, you lose focus and you lose control of
your will.
When you meditate you train your power to control the WILL. The Will is very
powerful. The Will is so powerful that this will help you in anything you want
to accomplish, just like that, consciously.
Below is a video representation of a strong will and a weak will.
It's having undivided focus to a single point which is your God. The moment
you entertain thoughts that is not your God you lose control.
When you develop your will the moment you want to do something there is no
resistance. When you say I want to stop this or do this, instantly and naturally you can do it.
That is why whenever I meditate and starts to feel or thinks about something
that is not my God(I.e. money, problems, your love one that needs healing,
rain, food, ghost, spirits, auras colors etc.) I immediately stop it and return
my focus naturally back to my God.
You must come to a point that when you sit in meditation you can last for
more than 20minutes Thinking Only about your God. Then if you can do it the
whole day tremendous transformations will take place.
Another is that, if for example, you are walking in the mall and suddenly you
get random thoughts. Always ask yourself why am I thinking these thoughts? Most
of the time you don't have conscious control if that happens. Then go back to
your God and keep your focus there at all times. What I mean is as you go about
your daily work always think about your God.
If you find yourself in meditation and suddenly problems or things seems to
bug you, do not give your attention to it! Because it will pull you to its
reality, just like as if you throw a net and grabbed the ‘thing’ towards you,
and you have nothing to blame but yourself because you lack the will to focus
ONLY to your God.
The only way to develop your will power is to keep your focus. On the other
hand if you lose focus your Will Power weakens.
"Life remains the same until the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change."
The other
day, somebody approached me and asked me if I could help them with this person’s
pressing problems. It seems like that this person has a lot of challenges
going on within a lot of areas in his life. Areas such as love, relationships,
work, money and family is kinda out of harmony.
So this
person said to me :”Bro, I know you're into these personality development stuffs.
Maybe you could help me with my problem.
I said: “Sure.
What do you want?”
Person: “What
do you mean, what I want?”
I said: ”I
need to know what you want first before I could give you some pointers to get
there.”
Person: “Okay.
I want 3 things. Make this much. Have this. And Find somebody to love.”
I said: “Good.
So this is how you should do it. I will give you 3 tips on how you could get
that.”
Then… I gave
the person 3 things to do to get what this person wants. And this part is where
there was a little commotion.
And the
person replied: “But I can’t do that! because, that wouldn’t me.”
I said: “Precisely! Because, not being ‘me’ is what
change is about. You can’t be the way you are and change at the same time.
Change is becoming not ‘me’. You got to stop being who you are and you got to
become someone else.
You’ve spent
your whole life practicing being you and you are really good at it and look at
where it got you… now you got to let go of being ‘me’ if you want to get the
things you want to get, In order to change. Change is about becoming not ‘me’.
There are
certain advantages of being not ‘me’. Your whole life is stuck in a rut. Your
life is a habitual mechanical pattern and habit that you repeat again and
again. It’s time for you to change this habitual process.
There are
good news and bad news.
The bad news
is that your family, friends and associates doesn’t want you to become not ‘me’.
Because, they have done a good job for being what you are and keeping you what
you are. Your friends doesn’t want you to be empowered all of a sudden. They’ve
figured already a way to manipulate you and if you become not ‘me’ they have to
start all over again and it will be a real challenge for them. So your friends
don’t want you to become not ‘me’.
And there is
a part of you who doesn’t want to become not ‘me’. That part of You who doesn't Want to Step out of the comfort zone. So it’s all about becoming
not ‘me’. It’s about letting go of who you are and becoming of who you can be.
How come you
got these problems? How come you still don’t get the success that you want? The reason
you got them because the ‘ME’ you are has done a great success from preventing
you to change. And so far it has done a good job.
So if you
are going to get success then you got to have to change. You got to become not ‘me’. You have got to
develop new skills. You have got to develop new abilities. You got to have to
organize things in a totally different way in order to get the results you are
not getting now. You have to change your mind.”
"He who reigns within himself and rules passion, desires and fears is more than a king."
-John Milton
Some people
have no control over their minds. So they don’t have control over their
thoughts and feelings. And because of
that, they don’t have control over themselves.
Since they
don’t have control over themselves. They don’t have control communicating their
ideas and feeling over other people. And this makes them have no control of
their world.
Because they
don’t have control of their world, this in turn makes them have no control of
their life. And because they don’t have
control of their minds they could not produce the results they want, they could
not figure out where to go, they are stuck in a rut. And they simply went through life as victims.
Then there
are some people who are tragically, were not in control of their minds. So they
were not in control of themselves. And because they were not in control of
themselves and they don't have control over their bodies and the food they eat so they are unhealthy. And because they don't have control over themselves, they don’t have control of how they deal with other people so their
relationships are tragically out of control. Their family is out of control.
Their work and business is out of control.
And because they
don’t have control over themselves in dealing with other people, other people
don’t want to be around them. Because they don’t have the ability to empower,
other people avoid them, when they cross the street people don’t want to meet
them.
Do we like
to be this kind of person? NO!!!!
On the other
hand, there are some people who taught themselves to learn how to control their
minds. So they were able to control their thoughts and feeling and thus
allowing them to control themselves.
And because
they were able to control themselves, they have control over other people in
communicating their ideas and that gave them control over their world and their
entire life. Because they have control of themselves, they have control over their body and the food they eat and their bodies remain healthy and strong.
Since they were
able to control their life, they were a cause. They were able to achieve
amazing things by putting their plans into effect in their lives and were able
to make a difference in other people’s lives as well. They were in charge of their destiny and
they were not victims.
Also, there
are some people who were able to control their minds. And they are comfortable
with themselves therefore, they are comfortable with other people. And other
people are comfortable with them.
They could
reach out to other people and empower other people. Because they have power
over themselves. They could build bridges with other people they could create
connections. They could create relationships.
And because they have power over
themselves they could easily empower other people and other people want to be
round them. People are attracted to them like a magnet. They seem to live a
charmed life and everywhere they go they were a blessing.

Though doubt could be a hindrance to a person's spiritual progress. Doubting is a sign of thinking. But the antidote for doubt is not blind faith. Certainty of conviction is founded on individual experience or scientific reasoning.
While a child may doubt the accuracy of the multiplication table, but through mathematical experiment and reasoning, his doubts could easily be cleared up and believes that the statements in the multiplication table is true.
He believes that 2x2 is equal to 4, not merely because he has been told so, but because it has become to him a self-evident fact through his first hand experience and scientific reasoning.
And this is exactly the method, and the only method, of resolving doubt, through experience and scientific reasoning.
"The Latin word for Induce is Adduco. Adduco is defined as:
to lead, persuade or to induce from within."
I was in a business meeting and I was talking to a guy and we were discussing a international business deal. I know he is a NLP Master Practitioner in their country.
After a few minutes of talking I could already smell the neediness in his vibe. Because, he keeps on DHVing himself unconsciously through DHV spikes during the entire convo. And he keeps on doing these long pause, as if thinking of the next 'move' to influence me that even made him give-off a 'creepy' vibe.
How many have you experience this? Where you are talking to someone and he might be saying all the right things but it just does not feel right.
A big chunk of the way we communicate is through non-verbal or sub-communication it is what you don't say. Your tonality, facial expression, body language and other minute details.
On the other hand I'm just being my self and keeping it real.
Base from our talk, there is nothing wrong in talking about his accomplishments. But when you are coming from a place of insecurity it will eventually leak out of your being and people will eventually smell it and once they do you are a goner.
So I just brushed it off and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Then a few weeks have passed and the inevitable happened. His real manipulative and greedy self came out of him as if all his NLP background was forgotten and the deal didn't go that well.
And I said to my self and my partners.. So I am right after all.
Remember guys, you can study all the routines and techniques of influence out there But there is nothing more powerful than Authenticity. The self is always coming through.
When all the techniques are gone, when all the outer facade is taken away what are you inside? Just like in the movie Avengers when Iron Man was asked when he removes the armor what will happen to him.
Most people studying seduction and influence hide behind the techniques and strategies. There is a saying that a mouse given a technique is still a mouse. But a Lion with a technique is still a lion without the external factors.
The most powerful way to attract is Authenticity. It is being not doing.

When the leaders becomes so dogmatic in their beliefs. Mostly they close their minds to any more new information thus they become stagnant. Once something becomes stagnant it refuses to grow and innovate and it simply decays and gets left behind just like what happens to some old 'close-minded' and fearful indigenous tribes who still wants to live in mountains and caves.
People are afraid of change. If they only know that Love opens-up and grows but fear closes-down and dies.
Most of us are familiar that Henry Ford built the automobile. Back then people are contented with the horse although, there is nothing wrong with the horse but there is always room for improvement and when the first car came into fruition transportation became more convenient.

How many times have people become so dogmatic and close minded in their beliefs because the their ego takes over them and instead of innovating and progressing they get trapped and growth become next to impossible. Just like some cancer patients who rather dies than try alternative cures.
Even our DNA according to scientist is evolving. The DNA of people a thousand years ago is so far ahead form what we have today. IQs from 200 years ago is nothing compared to the minds of the young generation right now.
A hundred years ago when you want to communicate to somebody across the continent you have to wait months before your letter gets to them. Now, all you need is to go online and talk with them inside the comfort of your room with the use of internet.
In technology alone the first calculator was invented by IBM but the next generation of computer experts like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs took the wheel and revolutionized the computer industry. If you compare the Computers now to the computers back then the difference is light-years ahead.
Society evolves when old beliefs are improved by new ones.
"I know you're out there. You're afraid of change. I'm going to show you a world without
rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where
anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you." - Neo, The Matrix
Every area of our world evolves. Technology, Health, Money, Religion, Information, Spirituality and Philosophy.
When the old leaders are replaced by new ones who are fresh and even
more open-minded in their ideas, these new ones takes what the old have
built to a higher level. And accelerated progress and innovation takes
place and life becomes even more worth living.
The past is like a sign-post, a reference for us but we must leave it there because everything is moving forward.

And so I arrived in a friends home, to my surprised there are new faces and I realized he has some visitors.
I sat down and tried to catch up with what they are talking about.
Then in a few minutes the conversation started moving and everyone is having a naturally healthy chat. Suddenly, the group discussion went to discussing about each other's point of few about religion.
I tend to shy away from these kinds of discussion because not many are that open minded but it seems like the crowd is pretty open and so I just joined in.
From the corner of the room the leader of the group who is with the visitors was asked what his perspective on the subject matter. And what he said totally made impact in the room.
He said:
"I will share to you something that I always asked my friends who are part of these religions that claims they are the only one who will be saved as long as you must be a member and believe."
Here is the story...
"Imagine, that you are just a typical person who has a fair amount of general knowledge about math, science, health, agriculture and God.
Then you are in an jumbo jet airplane traveling to a destination and the people on board that plane is having a relaxing time in their journey towards let's say Europe. And without warning the plane crashed! Boom!
After the crash you wake up and learned that you are the only survivor of that airplane and now you are in a remote island and discovered that you were rescued by tribal people from the burning wreckage.
The sad part about this is that there is no radio, telephone or any form of communication you could use to ask for help.
So you decided to settle down and live with the tribe.
A few years have passed still there is no help from the civilized world and slowly you just realized that maybe you will stay with the tribe forever. And so what you did is help the tribe develop.
You taught them math, science, health and agriculture. And to your surprise the small island prosper and you decided to go on and live with them for good.
Fast forward into the future, because of your contributions the people loved you and you loved them and until the day you die they remain close to you and they treated you like a Hero for teaching them."
Now, here is the question I often ask my church going friends, He said:
"After all the love I've given the tribesmen. Take note, I'm not a member of any church and I don't believe in your God. Will I be saved or not? "
"You know what is funny? Most of my church going friends tell me I will not be saved because you are not a member of our church or because you don't believe in our God."
"You mean mean after all the love and contribution I gave until my dying day, I will still go to hell or not enter the kingdom of heaven? It just does not make any sense at all."
END.

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking.
It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
― Albert Einstein
A foolish person tries to ignore the phenomenal facts of life. Simple because he cannot learn or is stubborn to study the logical theory which explains them for him to succeed.
Experience has taught me that proper education not blind faith will help you understand anything and help you improve your chance of succeeding. On the other hand, faith coupled with proper education most certainly could assure your success.
Making money, relationship, spirituality or health does not operate on faith or belief alone. From another perspective.. Money, relationship, spirituality or health does not operate on Logic alone.
Man always loves to separate things. Subconscious and conscious. Spirit and Science. You versus them etc. and these just creates more confusion and prevents rapid progress.
Oneness brings unity of focus and focus is power.
Logic is Education. Faith is Emotion.
When logic and emotion is combined, you are unstoppable.
There are some things in life that are best narrated in an allegorical manner in order to be remembered easily as we go about our daily life. Specially when it involves our altruistic relationship with mankind. As the universe is governed by both, the physical law and the spiritual law, may I share with everyone this law to serve as a barometer and guide in our path to spirituality...
"THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK"
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage such as full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointments.
As their garbage piles up they need a place to dump it. One way or another they dump it on you. Try not or if ever don't take it personally.
Rather, just smile, wave and wish them well. Then, move on. Try not or don't take their garbage and dump it as well to other people at work, at home or in the streets..
The bottom line is that people with a high level of awareness in spirituality try not to let garbage trucks take over their day..
Life is too short to wake up everyday in the morning with regrets... So... Love the people who treat you right Love the people who treat you wrong Life is ten percent of what you make it and ninety percent of how you take it
