WEAKER SELF





WEAKER SELF

Spiritual Growth is like peeling an Onion, there are layers after layers and this causes a person to cry profusely, metaphorically speaking. Once the core of the Onion is reached then life hands us another new Onion and the cycle repeats itself. Any personal weakness experienced during these cycles is known as the WEAKER SELF. We must on-goingly work towards enhancing our WEAKER SELF into our HIGHER SELF though real life skills development and DAILY MEDITATION... 😊

HONOR & LEADERSHIP





HONOR & LEADERSHIP

HONOR - Doing the right thing by listening to our INNER VOICE no matter what the consequences are. For each individual this will be different and no one can judge another. It either IS or IS NOT. And only the individual will know.

LEADERSHIP - Inspiring others to be their best, by living our own best life and working towards our GOALS to reach our HIGHER SELF. It is our primary duty to first take care of our own Well-Being and then to do our best towards other's Well-Being. It is only when we are STRONG internally and externally that we can lead others towards Wellness and Happiness. A true Leader creates more Leaders, spreads knowledge to everyone around and inspires others to be their best.

Self Discipline and Defense





Self Discipline and Defense

Self discipline and defense is the natural occurrence of defense and discipline concerning the self. Though sometimes the natural occurrence may not be sufficient and additional work is needed to enhance and improve skills to gain an advantage, reverse negative belief systems and/or increase probability for certain desired outcomes. In normal day-to-day life we do not need a doctor and regular exercise with food discipline is good enough for our body's health. It is when we fall sick that we need additional help towards our Physical Well-Being. Similarly, our Daily Meditation is good enough for our Spiritual Well-Being. It is when we are going through a tough time and/or major transitions that we need guidance from an experienced Meditation Coach and/or Meditation Non-Profit Organization to support/guide us though these stages of Spiritual Growth.

Guiding Others





Guiding Others

Everyone is at a different place in life and as a Meditation Coach or as a friend our duty is to be neutral towards everyone and to do our best in any given situation. Everyone has a different learning curve. We must view everyone as the best version of who they can become in future and relate to them as if they are already transformed into that best version of themselves. Overcoming unhealthy habits is not easy because the amount of unhealthy options available at low costs is vast and we must do everything in our power to support healthy habits. However, during this process, we must not permit others to practice their unhealthy habits in our presence. When they are spending time with us they have to follow all our healthy rules and regulations, so that they know we are serious about their Well-being... 🙂

Charismatic Seduction






Charismatic Seduction

Charismatic Seduction make us feel good momentarily. This is a good thing if practiced within the boundaries of the relationship rules set-up between participating individuals. This will increase the emotional connection between the participants and add Excitement, Passion and Pleasure to the relationship dynamics. This will also increase the awareness, vitality and confidence of participating individuals. However, if this is used to deceive someone, used to escape reality or used for financial gains, then that will sooner or later cause problems in the future.

Destructive Good Feelings



(1) Eating High Sugar Foods like ice creams, cakes, donuts, etc. - This imitates the Good Feelings that comes with eating Healthy Fruits and gives the body the wrong signals that something nutritious food is being consumed. In reality this is confusing the body and causing harm in the long run.

(2) Winnings at Gambling like poker, horse race, scratch lottery, etc. - This imitates the Good Feelings that comes with random rewards and unexpected increase in income and gives the mind the wrong signals that something valuable has arrived. In reality this is confusing the financial and analytical mind.

(3) Excessive Competitive Environment at work/business or sports - Competition is great when it brings out the best in a person and motivates an individual towards creative solutions and wellness. However, when competition becomes about winning at the cost of someone else’s loss, then even though it creates Good Feelings, it trains the mind to suppress others with force. Similarly, with aggressive sports like boxing where the concept of Being a Champion is that of someone who has defeated several other boxers. On the other hand, Martial arts is about SELF DISCIPLINE, SELF DEFENSE, HONOR and LEADERSHIP which is really awesome. In reality excessive competition is confusing the emotional mind.

(4) Watching excessive TV, Movies, Netflix etc. and spending too much time on social media and mobile devices - This imitates the Good Feelings that comes from interpersonal interactions. However, this does not provide an individual necessary skills to solve real life interpersonal problems when relationship situation gets tough. In reality this is confusing the emotional mind.

Basically, anything that is harmful in the long run but FEELS GOOD in the moment can be categorized as potential Destructive Good Feelings. There is nothing wrong in using them for a short time period for entertainment or to gain some advantage. There is also nothing wrong in using them in a controlled fashion like enjoying ice-cream with family once a month or spending $10 on Powerball with some friends for excitement, as long as it is done in moderation and with care.

Meditating on a city street





ENERGY, MOTION & PRESENT NOW MOMENT



- Everything is ENERGY. Yes. All of existence the universal being is energy. And all doing (action), is a still being (ENERGY), distortedly perceived as none energy (active cause and effect).

- Everything is in CONSTANT MOTION. Yes. If the universe stops singing (vibrating) momentarily, It evaporates. If the brain itself wouldn't be singing psychologically (as well as physically), perception wouldn't occur. To every external phenomenon, an imitated internal psychological (musical) phenomenon has to be produced in order for (internal, self) knowledge to provoke and manifest itself.

- Everything happens in the PRESENT NOW MOMENT. Yes! As explained above (psychological perceptions (sensations) imitating projected external phenomena, the mere belief that there is external stimulation provoking our psychologically reproduced vibrations is enough to manifest a complete experience. And this aspect is always occurring right now, while the externally provoking phenomena is either provoked presently in actuality as well or psychologically only. So in the later case, there isn't a collaboration between external and internal, but even the (seemingly) external aspect of the relationship, always occurs internally psychologically only in the immediate present moment. Labeling the later (the purely internal experience), past or future, is only serving as a practical cue for survival purposes. But the energy fueling the cuing, is in the present. It is like a sign pointing to a direction, but the sign itself remains where it is regardless of the arrow direction.

Survive a Difficult Time









Yoga Sutra 1.36

viśokā - that which is devoid of worry and grief
vā - and/or
jyotiṣmatī - that which is filled by light; that which is accompanied by light

When a state of worrylessness manifests directly from inside, it leads the mind to a state of concentration.
