  1. Spirituality question has been finally resolved. Hopefully I don't have to engage into an endless search once again to make sense out of it or try to search for spirituality again. It's all about spiritual energy or fuel balance I have to get my mind rid of all the supernatural forces garbage because that is like 2 percent of the 7 billion people on the planet. So no need to be obsessed with that. I kinda have an OCD about the whole things and although the curiosity is good but I guess it's not healthy to be obsessed with the occult and all other bs stuff. I am also going to focus on reiki which I had found last year and which was good that time. So time to tune back into it. Also Leo's new video the life is a maze one is something to be looked into. I need to find my own escape from my own maze that I and the situation has created.
  2. I have discovered a new system now and that is the paper fold technique. It will be like a mini booklet with the date on front, the tasks on one side, the completed on the other and the back side for the report or the result phase. The front side for important reminders. Week goals 1. Working on health 2. Working on energy levels 3. Sleep schedule this time get it right. I will do some lung research later. 2st stage is supplements I have found yesterday the method to calm down and bring balance between raising energy and decreasing sp energy. That's all I'm going to focus on. I found that my Brain level has significantly decreased. My focus is bad almost horrible, I feel tired, exhausted, my concentration and memory is too poor, almost early dementia, and lack of alertness and lack of energy, lack of efficiency and unable to take a load.. Focus this week will be on Exchange of gases Exercise not too strenuously Dehydration Lack of focus Decrease in inflammation Steaming to open up Supplements Cut down fatty food Juices and antioxidants Cleaning or clean environment. Protection from cold. The tent technique Blood pressure
  3. So I was talking about the 40s crash yesterday. And then I listed three factors that were responsible for a lot of things Systems expectations and system fault Individual's crisis that they have suffered Individuals genetics Had a productive day today but looking forward to tomorrow. Had very low energy levels Want to set it all back on track Prp ended on 26 th August Today is 29th August. Still feeling the wheezing. I need nearly 1 week to recover and to feel okayish Started on my supplements and it feels better. Started a new supplement for Vit B today. Makes me groggy. Goals this week. Let me see. It's Wednesday 26 August Thursday Friday Saturday... 3 days One thing I learned today is to box people into positive energy and negative energy. Those who bully are in the second box. Also in the first box, don't give in right away to those who are sweet on the front. Because these are "masked haters", people who pretend to be nice to take all your information and then turn their backs on you. These are hidden bullies. Only keep those who show consistently good behavior and decency. Keep indecent fucktards away. I can call them cheapies. 1. Box them. 2. Do not completely rely on the positive box. Beware of masked haters. 3. Do not let people's judgement of you impact you. 4.most people who criticize positively are going to do so in a humble good manner. Not hurtful. Those who hurt are obviously with devious intentions. 5. Negative people are not worth your time 6. Cut them off. 7. Do not waste too much time 8. Morality used as a weapon. Some people that u come across will try to judge you and use morality in judging you, make it look like you are the bad person and they are good, good people do not fuck around with others, so those people are just insecure and use morality as a weapon so that they can feel better about who they are. You just don't realize this. Do not care about morality.fuck it. Be honest and authentic in yourself. That way you will attract not the hypocrites, not the skeptics but those who truly care and love you and believe you. You will not need to put on a show every time.
  4. The space you create is the embodiment of what your spirit wants.
  5. Key points from the video life is a maze by Leo. You start life like a rat dropped in a maze. You have no idea of how the world works, how the mind works and what the traps and dangers are. You have been bombarded with programming from the school, culture, media and society You have been chasing cheese all your life. Convinced that all you need is cheese. It's a maze within a maze within a maze and it's profoundly misleading. When you go deeper into the maze you only end up getting more clueless than before. This maze is very deceptive. The maze is your own mind. There are all sorts of deceptions, illusions, self deceptions But it is possible to master it and escape it. You created your own maze and nobody can solve it for you. Every rat's maze is different. You could be wasting decades in just one trap,like an abusive relationship. You can self inquiry to understand and explore these traps The problem is that most people don't do any serious research in life. They just stumble and bumble around. There is no strategy or intelligence about how they should go about doing research in life. What research means is that you should be devouring book, videos, workshops, Google, asking questions, philosophy, contemplation, forums, psychedelics etc. These are the forms of doing research. Everything you learned in schools or universities does not count as research. Research is something you do for decades. You haven't asked any high quality questions about life. You can Google a lot. But you should know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. But don't be a freak. You need the right videos the right courses and the right books But the problem is that most people are looking for a technique or a cookie cutter solution and that's not gonna work Most people don't do a hero's journey in their life and those who do are taken down. Most rats are just following one rat that existed years ago and they don't realize that the maze has completely changed since then. It's super important that you study hundreds of diverse perspectives. It's important because nobody provides you with the full perspective. Everyone will give you a partial perspective. At best you will get a partial truth. The other rat cannot anticipate all. Of your traps because you are different than him. Read good hardcore spirituality and psychology books cover to cover. Radical open mindedness is absolutely central to do this research. You need to have intention and focus to escape the maze. You need to have a strong work ethic and discipline to escape the maze. One thing. You can't keep all this information in your mind. impossible. You need to keep a commonplace book to keep all of it stored for reference. Organize it all. This is not a quick fix solution so you need a vision and patience to be in this life research project. Your entire life's work is escaping this maze. It's not going to be all sugary like a video game that rewards you because you won't have many rewards but it's a serious fun. It is something that keeps you happy in a way. It takes time and momentum to build it up. It takes a decade of work. Most people can't build the momentum Practicing awareness will help escaping this maze. However don't make the mistake of thinking that meditation and awareness alone will solve or escape the maze. You also need heart, love and intuition. The more you figure out the maze the more astounded you become at how amazing it is. You need to be a good strategist to make it all work. Research is not just googling. You will also need to take action. You baby step your way further up and up the maze until you are all the way out. You need your job too cause you need some cheese before you get your way out As long as you have the intent the solutions will present themselves to you. You are inside your own maze. You really created this maze on your own for your own amusement. An immature amusement is all sugar and positivity A more mature form of amusement will not only have joy but also pain and suffering. In fact the suffering is there to motivate you to be even more serious to escape the maze. In fact the suffering is also to show you that having the cheese is still not same as escaping the maze and therefor you aren't happy despite having the cheese. There is hope and you can work through it. Don't give up. Leo talks about some awareness practices that wil help you. Could someone list these methods to raise the current state of Awareness. Thanks.

  8. The 7 Hermetic Principles for Self-Mastery 1. The Principle of Mentalism: The All is mind; The Universe is Mental This first principle embodies the truth that ‘All is Mind.’ Meaning, the Universe itself, at an underlying and foundational level, is Mental. That all phenomena of life, matter and energy of the material universe are thoughts of an infinite and universal, living Mind. Which means all things share a connection in the fact they exist within the Mind of ‘THE ALL’, as it is put, and therefore are all subject to the laws of created things. This Mental Universe, for the sake of experiment, could be explained as an infinite intelligence, intelligent field, and even the nature of consciousness itself. Creating a dialogue of thought, which dances with thought. The Principle of Mentalism, explains the nature of ‘energy,’ ‘power,’ and ‘matter’ as being subordinate to the Mind, as it shows up within ourselves and the pervading nature of all things. When you view everything you think, and therefore do, as an interaction of thought with thought, you develop an understanding of the first principle of Mentalism, which allows you to grasp the the laws of the Mental Universe, being the 7 Hermetic Principles, and apply them to your well-being and personal advancement. Like using the knowledge of the Principle of Polarity, which is the fourth Hermetic principle, to understand that love and hate are the same intensity of emotion, varying only in degree. And through the power of the mind, can be transferred from one degree to another by the power of objective thinking and conscious choice. The two emotions maintain their intensity, only changing in degree to suit whatever outcome and experience you most desire. This is possible by the law of Mentalism to influence other laws, and the ability for the mental plane to influence what happens on other planes. In Hermeticism, there are many descriptions of different planes, levels or dimenions of existence, that overlay atop one another. They are usually depicted as layers of a concentric circle, where the inner-layers are more foundational and influence the outer layers. In Hermeticism, there are three Great Planes: the mental plane, physical plane, and spiritual plane. Which have varying lesser-planes between them that differ in degrees between undifferentiated matter and spirit. From a first person perspective, the mental plane is experienced simply as thought, insight, intuition, and reason. But wisdom of how this plane corresponds with other, unseen, or causal planes, tells us that there may be more to our thoughts than we perceive. That our thoughts are not tied simply to the physical plane, and have an effect on an energetic and spiritual level, which is less obvious but still very real. The different planes influencing the physical plane, visualized. This principle is what allows the student to apply their mental faculty to leverage all other laws, almost perceiving thought as the operating system, that allows us to interface with other layers of being. To anticipate other natural and energetic laws, and cause them to occur in ways that benefit us. Making a science of all phenomena of the universe, because all other planes still exist within the realm of a Mental Universe — and therefore can be reasoned with. Through this principle David can take down Goliath, man can explore the Moon, and we can reason with all phenomena of the Mental universe. 2. The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below; as below, so above. As within, so without; as without, so within. This principle embodies the truth that there is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of various planes that manifest as being and life. Grasping this principle is what allows one to deduce the hidden solutions to problems by looking at what exists a layer above, and below the problem, to infer the pattern and shadow nature of what is in-between. Of course, there are planes and phenomena beyond our knowing, as we are limited to the spectrums of visible light and audible sound, but by witnessing the patterns that do exist in our dimension we can deduce what may exist in higher and lower ones. Just as the knowledge of Geometry allows one to measure the cosmos and map its movements, as a dance of spheres and spirals. Observing the Principle of Correspondence, we can come to know the whole of the Universe by exploring the higher and lower nature of things, which surround the mystery. And likewise, discover more of ourselves, by experiencing and studying the world we are integrally a part of through the pursuit of Gnosis. The micro is in the macro, and vice versa. 3. The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates. This principle embodies the truths that ‘nothing rests,’ ‘everything is in motion,’ and ‘everything vibrates.’ It explains that matter, energy, and even spirit, are simply varying rates of vibration. A classic example of this being frequency in which the seven octaves of music, tuned up 44 octaves, miraculously becomes the spectrum of visible light (passing through states of being the buzz pitch of insects, ultra-sound, plasma, ether, hyper sound, and even octaves of heat.) While they change manifestation, the vibrations maintain the same correspondence, the difference being only in measurement and energy as frequencies slide up the electromagnetic spectrum. At the highest rates of vibration the rate and intensity are so rapid it appears to be motionless, like a spinning wheel appearing stable. And at the lowest levels of vibration, objects move so slowly they appear to be totally at rest. Between these two, exist infinite manifestations all occurring at varying octaves of vibration, each with their own phenomena. Knowing this, Hermeticists believe that even thoughts have their own rate of vibration, and can be controlled like tuning an instrument, to produce various results for the aim of self and environment mastery. As your understanding of vibration, frequency, harmony and resonance increase, so too shall your power over yourself and your world. 4. The Principle of Polarity: Everything is dual; Everything has poles; Everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same; Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet; All truths, are but half-truths; All paradoxes may be reconciled. The fourth principle embodies the truth that ‘everything has its pair of opposites,’ ‘everything has two poles,’ and exists in a state of ‘duality.’ But the true nature of this principle is that ‘opposites are the same, only varying in degree.’ It explains that there are two poles in everything and that opposites are really only two extremes of the same thing, the difference being only in degree. An obvious example being hot and cold — both being temperature, varying only in degree. And that there is no clear crossover moment when hot stops being hot, and starts being cold and vice, versa with no absolutes on either end. The same can be said of ‘light and darkness’ ‘hard and soft’ ‘big or small’ and even ‘love and hate.’ With ‘love and hate’ there is no clear point where one emotion becomes another, or when it passes through ‘like’ ‘dislike’ or ‘indifference.’ All are merely our perceptions of the degree. And the principle of Polarity exists to explain these paradoxes. This principle is important to Hermeticists, because it suggests we can change the polarity of a degree of emotion, by recognizing it is the same and choosing the degree which best suits our needs. Similar to how we can involuntary and rapid transitions in our psyche between love and hate, like and dislike, you can choose to experience these transitions by use of your willpower for the betterment of your life and others. That the difference is not a hurdle to be surmounted, but two expressions of the same thing, differing only in degree, to choose between. This practice is the art of Mental Alchemy. 5. The Principle of Rhythm: Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall; The pendulum swing manifests in everything; The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; Rhythm compensates. Between the opposite poles of the principle of Polarity, is the pendulum swing of The principle of Rhythm. This principle embodies the truth that everything exists in a measured motion, from here to there, moving in and out, swinging backward and forward, the rise and fall of the tides, ebbing and flowing and never truly sitting still. Never stopping, always changing. This principle controls the cycle of life and death, creation and destruction, rise and fall, and of course manifests in our mental states. When you are in tune with the Principle of Rhythm and understand that every mental state exists in Rhythm, always ebbing and flowing, you can learn to use this principle to your advantage by polarizing yourself to the degree you desire. Then, through awareness of this principle and how it manifests, holding yourself there to keep the pendulum from swinging you backwards to its extreme. Imagine going to an event that you know holds a lot of emotional significance for you, and checking in with yourself there. Knowing, you are experiencing a high and that this state is unsustainable, you can slot in time for transition to keep yourself from crashing, knowing the Principle of Rhythm is affecting or will affect you. Likewise, with times of stress and grief, giving yourself time to return to neutral before ramping back up again. Know that things you lose, will come back, and that things you own now, will disappear later. Being able to appropriate these smooth transitions can be the difference between days of recovery (mentally, physically, and emotionally) and smooth grace periods between times of intensity. Knowing when to retreat and when to return is one of the many keys to self mastery. Through heightened awareness gained by understanding this principle, you can experience transcendental states of consciousness to rise above the swing of the pendulum. Rhythm will have an effect on you one way or another, but with awareness you can use it to propel you forward and ride it back to recovery. All people who experience self-mastery do this to some degree, but those who exert their will upon this principle are able to act from a place of purpose as opposed to letting the pendulum swing them into reactivity. 6. The Principle of Cause & Effect: Every cause has its effect; Every effect has its cause; Everything happens according to law’ Chance is but a name for law not recognized’ There are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law. This principle embodies the fact that there is a ’Cause for every Effect;’ and an ‘Effect for every Cause.’ Meaning, that nothing merely ‘happens for no reason,’ and that there is no such thing as ‘chance.’ In harmony with the principle of Correspondence, there are higher planes dominating lower planes and nothing escapes the Principle of Cause & Effect. Nothing happens without explanation. The empowering use of this principle is to make the conscious choice to rise above the plane of thought you currently occupy to become your own Cause, and not just an Effect of others and the situations you find yourself in. That is to say, be your own first mover as opposed to someone who merely reacts to circumstance. I know I am out of alignment with this principle, when I find myself feeling reactive, stressed and frazzled; waking up only to handle and deal with the things that come my way. Instead, of going out of my own way to determine and create what I desire to experience. To put into action the first move, which will bring me the result I desire, not as a surprise, but a product of calculation. So, I know that if I want to be a better writer, I clearly need to write each day and read more often. As opposed, to not, and resigning myself to merely reacting to the consequences of not having done the work and experiencing the problems that inevitably arise when you are not pursuing your highest calling. Of course, when you are on the quest to become someone who has mastery over their self, and can control their moods, character, and the environment around them — you will naturally have to obey the causation of higher planes in accordance to this principle. But the important distinction is that having awareness of this will give you the ability to rule on your own plane, without resigning to the roles of the dunce or victim. 7. The Principle of Gender: Gender is in everything; Everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all planes. Painting Credit: Android Jones This principle embodies the fact that both the masculine and feminine exist in all things. Not just in sex, but in the creative nature of all things, on all planes. In harmony with the principle of Correspondence, this means that the masculine and feminine exist not only in the physical plane, but also the mental, and the spiritual as well. The principle of Gender plays a role in all things generation, creation, and regeneration — nothing can come into being without the use of this principle. The masculine is the penetrative, assertive, progressive, conquesting, explorative energy that drives progress. The feminine is the receptive, sacred, treasured, protective energy, that maintains tradition and honors the priority of what is most important, while nourishing that which is most essential to life. Too much masculine energy, without a balance of feminine, leads to a growth of power to the extreme of reckless abandon — where we lose perspective of what is most important and forget the principles which began the conquest in the first place. While, too much feminine energy, without a balance of the masculine, leads to a life grounded so deeply in the present, that our lives become determined by the cycles and external circumstance out of our favor. All beings contain this great Principle within them, as two parts. Every male has feminine energy, and every female has masculine energy. In sex we see the interplay of these energies. In our moods, actions, attitudes, and personalities we see the dance of these energies within ourselves. The most potent use of this principle is how Gender is responsible for creation, generation, and regeneration on the mental and spiritual planes, and not just the physical. True progress is possible through the balancing of the two energies of Gender in oneself, relationships, and environment. By examining how present are we with our lives. How focused we are on the future. What we sacrificed for our achievements. How much do we protect and honor what is our highest priority. How far from home have we traveled, in pursuit of what we desire the most. How much are we giving and how much are we receiving. Asking ourselves if these energies are in balance. To choose the middle path between these extremes of the present feminine and future-driven masculine and seek balance in all things, is the key to using all 7 Hermetic Principles principles to full effect and achieving lasting self-mastery, without straying too far from the path. A User’s Guide for Gnosis Each of these principles exists in nature, and applies directly to our mental, emotional, and spiritual states. They give us a map of hidden territory both within and without. Having awareness of these principles, and how the affect one another, gives us an understanding of our own patterns, what holds influence over us, and how we can use these principles and their laws to direct our own lives. The 7 principles of Hermeticism teach us how to use our minds to communicate with the Mental Universe. All dreamers imagine a realm of higher aspiration than ours and the base and gross matter we come from. Whether that be Plato’s World of Forms, a Christian Heaven, the New Age Astral Plane, or the Esoteric notion of a Higher Dimension — without trying to label or name them, these principles help us understand the phenomena of the planes above us, the planes below us, and how the patterns of how they intercede can illuminate what we cannot see. As well as, how we can tune our own vibrations and experience the ease of being in harmony with forces that naturally occur at higher vibrations. To choose the Polarity we wish to experience most knowing all choices are open to us. To remain where we choose, knowing how to transcend the pendulum swing of Rhythm. To realize that we are always being effected, that nothing happens to us by chance and knowing we can choose to cause the effects that we most prefer. And that in order to benefit from all of these principles, we must seek balance of both the masculine and feminine within ourselves to create our ideal realities, and wield this power without straying too far from the middle path. These principles have served as tools for the priests and pharaohs of Egypt, the philosophers of Greece, the artists and inventors of the Italian Renaissance, and the revolutionaries and leaders of America (among others to can be sure.) But remember: these are Gnostic principles. By themselves, these principles are useless, but when you creatively apply them, you can achieve any endeavor you dedicate yourself to. Truly understand them, by experiencing them for yourself. So, here are some questions to help you apply the 7 Hermetic Principles through direct inquiry and experience gnosis in your own life. Questions for Applying the Principle of Mentalism: Have you ever experienced the effect of mind over matter? Using the power of visualization to make yourself feel less hot, or cold. To taste a fruit in your mind, or experience a memory as if it’s happening now. What are things you are curious about and can learn about, even though they are not directly or physically in front of you right now? Have you ever had the same idea as someone else, or discovered something you thought was unique, only to realize it’s been written about before? Our thoughts are connected and this is one way we can tangibly understand that our thoughts are not our own and do not originate within us. Have you ever focused your awareness somewhere on your body and felt it tingle, or the intensity of sensation increase there, simply because you directed your mind toward it? This is a demonstration of the common phrase, energy goes where attention flows. Questions for Applying the Principle of Correspondence: Have you ever dealt with a personal problem, and begun to feel like the situations you find yourself prod at the issue repeatedly until you resolve it?The themes in our lives tend to re-occur and correspond on many levels, until we learn our lesson. Have you ever noticed a pattern in nature, that repeats whether in the bloom of a flower, or shape of a river, and wonder how these seemingly unconnected events share the same geometry? All things grow by the same sets of natural laws. Have you ever felt like you were a part of something larger, that you may not even be able to see or perceive, yet you are directly contributing to it? We, ourselves, are a part of the correspondence. Questions for Applying the Principle of Vibration: Have you ever listened to a song and felt a certain way about it, like some chords are pleasant to hear, and others feel inherently wrong? The way things vibrate effects us at a foundational level. In the same way, have you ever looked at a painting or a combination of colours and found it to be beautiful, and at other times find it to be distressing? The expression of certain vibrations, even that of colours, can affect us on an emotional level. Have you ever attracted something into your life, repeatedly by obsessing over it? The phenomena of synchronicity, or manifestation, occurs because of the resonance and harmony between the way things vibrate. Have you ever felt simply out of harmony with your environment, your job, or the people in your life? As we change, so too do the subtle vibrations of things and we can fall out of harmony with what does not honor where we are at this time in our lives. Questions for Applying the Principle of Polarity: Have you ever been in an argument with someone you deeply love and experienced your passion to transform into hate almost instantly, then return back to love later? The Principle of Polarity can confuse our emotions, if we do not control the way we feel to honor ourselves or those we care about. Have you ever dipped your fingers in water so hot that it shocks the nerves and feels cold at first? The way we experience the shock of extremes of polarity are similar in the mind and nervous system. Have you ever focused on what it would feel like, to feel a certain way, then began to feel that way spontaneously?Our minds don’t know the difference between what is imagined and what is experienced and we can self-author our own experience if we choose to. This may feel like cheating, but sometimes it is necessary in order to consistently be in a state of peak performance to accomplish our goals. Questions for Applying the Principle of Rhythm: Have you ever witnessed a repeating pattern in your own life or the lives of others? Our lessons tend to re-emerge if we do not learn from them and integrate them well the first time. Have you ever been to an event, or a party, and had the time of your life. Then, have a tremendous comedown the next day or even few days, even if you were sober the entire time? What comes up, must come down, and vice versa. Knowing how to ride your own rhythm gives you the ability to anticipate and plan accordingly. Likewise, have you ever spent several days in isolation then felt yourself propelled towards adventure and novelty? What is down, will eventually come back again. All things exist in cycles and the key to enjoying them is understanding them and knowing how to benefit them, without taking them personally. Questions for Applying the Principle of Cause & Effect: Have you ever felt out of control, or completely blindsided by something in your life? Little things lead to big things. In hindsight, sometimes we can understand what caused what happened to us, and learn from it for next time. Have you ever wanted to accomplish something that felt too big, or too unrealistic at the time? In the same way, we can start small with what we want to accomplish, knowing that these littles causes will lead to new effects. Which will put on further on the path of what we want to achieve, simply as a rule of nature. Have you ever felt reactive, like your entire days were consumed by dealing with things that were simply happening to you, with no time to create anything new? When we get caught up in the weeds of our to-dos, we can lose perspective of how today we are receiving the effects of causes that happened earlier. And even worse, lose perspective on how the wins of today will create the causes of tomorrow. Questions for Applying the Principle of Gender: Have you ever felt like you were so caught up in the future and the fantasy of your desires, that you never took the time to do what was necessary to experience them? Too much masculine energy, without enough feminine presence, can lead to unhealthy fantasy and disillusionment. Have you ever felt so present, so at ease, and hedonically enjoying the now, that you never cast your gaze on what would happen tomorrow? Too much feminine energy, can lead to such a deep sense of presence that we forget to create the causes today for the effects we want to experience tomorrow. Have you ever been addicted to one extreme or the other? True self-mastery comes from being able to tread a middle path. Knowing that this is where we are able to most accurately direct the path of our life and show up in a way that is most authentic to who we want to be. These questions are a great place to get started applying the 7 Principles to your life, but don’t stop here. Use your knowledge of these principles to create your own experiments and take your own notes through life. Gain direct experience of what you are curious about, without requiring spiritual permission from anyone other than yourself. Pursue that which you desire, so long as it does not bring harm to another. And along the way, remind yourself of these principles at every turn. Resurrect them every chance you get. Use them to sharpen your will, develop self-mastery and create what you wish to experience in this life, without compromise. — — Colton Swabb is a writer, marketer, and creativity researcher.

  20. Liked this It's a trap. When you have high self esteem and big ego it surely protects you from all the negativity and people being skeptical and judgemental. It gives a cover. At the same time it destroys the mountain of success you built with so much hard work. Because ego and Narcissism get the better of you and encourage you to make all wrong choices. Romantic amalgamation between the God and the Devil. That is the devil. The devil has intensity, huge energy and drive and passion and is very dominating and intimidating. They have fire. The God or the good is a delicate feminine rose that is good, docile, gentle caring good character but lacks fieryness and energy and doesn't look intimidating and is unable to protect itself. But now it blends and complements the devil and the devil's evil aspirations have been stunted or curbed so he no longer feels the desire for evil but uses the energy and intensity to fuel the intentions of the good /rose and protect them from despair and this is why the good suffers and the devil wins but the good can melt the heart of the devil and the devil then protects the good from suffering and despair. The devil has a change of heart out of love, gains satisfaction knowing that his energies were used to protect the good and not to destroy. So eventually love triumphs evil and conquers the devil and both get balanced by being together in a romantic harmony. Without the devil, the good is weak and fragile and suffering and without the good, the devil is alone and without love and caring and becomes destructive. Evil is a disorder or a disease and not to be punished or thrown away but to the healed and cured by love.. It happens when good has diminished in amount and lost its vigor or intensity and has no support and is suffering in silence and the devil has nobody to love him. Such a state of deficieny and negativity with no love and powerlessness on the part of the good, will the throw the system in chaos and conflict and disorder and then will come destruction and evil and temptation to do evil because the balance has been lost and there is terrible imbalance leading to a crippling disease that causes obsession and madness and cunning behavior and it ruins everything in its path.

  22. 4. "what if I told you I'm perfect," "what if I told you I'm God."
  23. ... You become engulfed in what you create. If you create jealousy, jealousy will consume you. If you create lies, you will be consumed by your lies. Create good and you will be rewarded by being a part of the good you created. This is like karma. Take out time for yourself and focus in the moment. Taking out time for yourself helps you to unwind yourself and not get overwhelmed, burdened or emotionally drained by the stuff in your life. Everything is a part of your spiritual expression. Starter exercise or warming up. Focus on the moment Stay in this noment Make your mind comfortable. Reduce the mental vibration completely.. There are 2 states ~ emotional unrest and emotional rest. Try to cultivate the state of emotional state. Be free Try to be happy and cultivate feelings of deep satisfaction and happiness. Now think of a state you want to create ~ any mental state, peace,love, happiness,freedom Now focus on your tasks and goals and work on them. Connection to self Connection to universe Connection to God Intuition Happy emotional state Detachment Thoughtless and emotionless state. An empty state Bullet focus Authentic life.. What exactly you want Spiritual investment Shadow work - this is like inner cleansing
  24. Good karma, positive loving spirit, good work, power of the good spirit, power of good karma, good intentions, power of acceptance, embracing the lack, power of letting go, power of honesty, power of positive affirmations, power of mental attitudes or paradigms, power of love, empathy, power of faith, power of resources, power of knowledge, power of actions or deeds, power of focus, power of righteousness, [doing the right thing at the right time], power of prayers, power of emotions, power of judgment and wisdom, power of people loving and supporting each other. Karma, actions, deeds, thoughts, work or job, intentions, words, affirmations, attitudes, faith, beliefs, values systems, knowledge, righteousness, emotions, judgement, love, empathy, prayers, spiritual investment. Spiritual investment - thought, idea, intention, attitude, karma, love, emotion, values you put into any physical thing or environment. The motivation /intention /purpose and craving/greed for power leads to crime, destruction and evil and loss and misery. The motivation /intent / or craving for God leads to love and peace and prosperity. Happiness is the antidote to everything. Can we take out time to be happy. Focus on the positive. Life is short. Life was never fair back then and will never be. People existed back then and will continue to procreate and survive. Suffering is the nature of life and humanity. There is good and there is bad, there can be no absolute. We learn to overcome suffering, get through struggles, make it through the world and be out of the tunnel of life. There is beauty in despair and heroism in triumph. Love will never be stronger If it isn't put to the test. If everyone before us thought that life was difficult and undeserving, we wouldn't be here to witness the triumphs of humanity. The solution may not lie in killing the experiencer of the problem but in dealing with the problem itself. There are mountains to climb and tunnels to get through. The strongest and the most intense love supercedes almost every weakness, every lack, fills every void, makes everything beautiful and brings hope and joy where there is none. The mind can be changed irrespective of outer conditions. If outer conditions are not desirable or ideal, the inner conditions can still be changed. Nobody decides how where when and what they will have when they are born. We can't control who we are. Nor we have the power to control what we can do even after birth. And we cannot change ourselves completely in our life. Also it is insignificant who were are or where we are born. Because inner happiness is important. As long as you are happy, that is the only thing that matters. Now If someone said that you lacked something, the simple thing is that you do not have to care what that person says since they don't love you or care about you. Therefore their opinions and judgment or evaluation on you is irrelevant. Anyway nobody changes anything, people just talk to bring you down. But they don't matter. The ones that care about you will never hurt you or judge you therefore you don't have to worry what an irrelevant person has to say about you. Weaknesses are a part of human existence. They are not to be hated or discarded but to be embraced and changed. That is when it's impossible to change you have to embrace them and make the most out of them. When it's possible to change them for the better then you need to work to change them.that's how nature works. If the world doesn't accept you for who you are it's the problem of the world and not your problem. Nobody has the right to judge or decide what' is perfect and what is not. Those who judge aren't trying to change anything. If you can't understand me, you have no right to judge me It's what you do with what you have that matters. Loving people embrace and accept and improve, they do not forsake or ridicule. Life is a lesson in heroism. There is no point in blaming yourself or others. Instead there needs to be a realization that if you lack something then you need to struggle harder in this world versus those who have what you lack. You need more help and not judgement. You need more resources and strategies to beat the system. You need love and strong support and motivation and positivity. And not negativity and criticism. You need strength to make it through when it might get harder. Grow a thicker skin Cristism, negativity and unfair judgement has never brought anything good other than just discouraging the person being targeted. There are haves and the have nots. Can the have nots be blamed. We are all selfish entities like floating objects in space blithely traversing through the matrix of the world colliding into each other , not uplifting each other but rather looking for every opportunity to thrive and succeed and only look after our own needs and seek our own goals and interests. At its core, humanity has no value, it's petty and hollow and self absorbed, who made all the rules, no one knows, but we do well only when we snugly fit into the matrix or we are lost and discarded. How is this fair. Let not the arrows of judgement hit you. Rise and fight. Live it up full, don't leave regrets. We can make it through together to the other side, we can be happy knowing we done it, not seeking division and separation by comparing one with the other, but by uniting and complementing each other and being together as one force and not letting anyone fall through the cracks, saving each other and helping those who deserve, giving more to those who have less. There is growth. What is not possible today might be possible tomorrow. A miracle is always waiting in the bud. We just have to let the bud unravel and let something wonderful to emerge out of the weaknesses and lack. Ugliness can be created out of beauty and beauty can be created out of nothing. From scratch to building or creating something magnificent, that's the power of the human spirit, it can change the obscurity of something into the magnificence of unbelievable beauty, it can restore, renew, revive, change, and resurrect that which was lacking by destiny to something that has superceded every expectation through sheer effort and hope. The struggles are bigger, the rewards satisfying, your little triumphs along the way to overcome those weaknesses are a blessing. That's the power of change. With change there is possibility of creating something entirely new or different and magnificent and this cannot be inspired by generic conditions. In the end every condition or situation is a blessing because it teaches us how to survive through it and how wonderfully it can be put to good use. How you use the condition or a lack of it, what it inspires you to make and what you ultimately create out of it is a test of what you can do. What you create is all that matters. Winning is not so much in achieving with what you are given on a platter but in achieving with what you don't have. I'm a tree. We should all be egoless trees. If someone constantly made you feel bad about yourself then they are abusing you, plain and simple because they enjoy seeing you hurt, they are sadistic, they are sociopathic and they enjoy putting you down. Why should you let them win and let them have their piece of cake which they are desperately trying to enjoy. If they were too happy being how much superior they are then they wouldn't be enjoying attacking you. That shows they aren't really happy with what they have or they are just pretending to be happy. Happy people don't feel the need to attack. Only insecure idiots do. So sad they can't be happy despite having everything they claim to be superior to what others have and that which should normally make a person happy.. At the end of the day whatever we use to describe someone are just labels and nothing more than labels and labels are illusions. Because those labels come with meaning and implications. And if we changed the meaning of those labels everything will be different, all biases are gone. What if you defied those implications and did exactly opposite of what should be naturally expected to happen as per those implications. Follow the path of God, and righteousness, spirituality not power. Small people judge things. Great people change things. Almost every form of media followed by tons of people is nothing but cheap propaganda and a propaganda mouthpiece. They try to insinuate and stoke the flames for profit and survival. Something you shouldn't buy into. Some part of it is truth and some not. The world needs solutions not descriptions and fights.. Generally only a fraction of what is being said is the truth because much of the stuff is sensationalized. An event is not an indication of tragedy just like a hurricane is not an indication of the end of the world. Such people are hogging the limelight, they are hungry for attention and Acceptance, they are fame hungry, power hungry and of course money hungry. They turn their passion into careers but they don't realize that it is just an opinion and it's very stupid and unwise to make a career out of just opinions and they don't realize that they are obsessed with something to an extent that it's nauseous. However as long as they make money or feel a false sense of accomplishment they carry on. This is a job for losers because real people make a difference. Their accomplishments are creating and stirring hate and paranoia. They are rightly put it the internet goons. They are also the most disingenuous of all people because almost every time they will try to hide the truth about their monetary intentions and their contracts or their personal lives or their past or background. Much of the stuff comes out later and it then exposes them for who they are. So it's all an exercise in futility and mockery. There is nothing even remotely inspirational about it, just tea talk. Or dreck talk. It is a distraction for those just sitting around, it's a chatter or monkey mind's endless mental masturbation. It brings nothing good or beautiful or worth following. Much of it is even unreal or not real. That is half the information is copied from some article that has no credible source and is regurgitated. This is how the cogs of the great propaganda wheel are oiled and kept in motion to keep fooling people and its all a make believe world. Whatever form it takes, whether mainstream, or alternative, journalism, books, private channels are replicas of each other when it comes to modus operandi. They all do the exact same thing but pitch themselves as different. If you relied heavily on them for information, your life is ducked. They do however give an overall summary of the goings on but that's about it. Much of the stuff that people want to do in life or get done is just withheld from the world. Nobody has the balls to refute them so they go on making their claims. Most common people can easily debunk what they say but people don't have time to waste. And notice that many of these mouthpieces who create so much noise actually do not allow audience input, they refrain from replying to comments which challenge their notions, sometimes even delete critical incendiary comments because it does not fit their narrative or out of fear that someone is about to expose their truths. You also have to see their possible motivation, whether they want success, fame, money, recognition or a sense of entitlement. Those are the keys. If they are looking for any of those, their work is mostly disingenuous. They lack credibility, integrity and honesty. So don't give in. Keep an open mind to all types of information. A person's behavior, conduct and character is completely irrelevant to their race, culture or religion. Its only group behavior that is correlated to stereotypes. That video. Cringiest shit ever lol. Egoic nonsense. Egoic rubbish. Ego stroking. Ego tripping. More ego tripping. Self delusion. Self deception. Defy implications. Learn to react in ways which defies what is implied. Defiant reaction mindset. React in ways which are opposite to what reactions are implied or natural in the case. You need to be detached and very positive and you have to have that "don't give a damn attitude" for this to be implemented. Emotional antidote mindset Do the exact opposite of how you should feel or react. So if something makes you feel sad, laugh and try to be happy.
