I was frustrated a few days back because I couldn't find my things in place. I need to read a few more books on the subject of discipline.

It seems to me that one of the goals as a spiritual person is to achieve harmony between the spirit, mind, and body. Here, I would define harmony as congruity between these three aspects of being. All three are integral parts of our existence, and as such interact with, and influence one another.

I think congruity is a key word here. In order for there to be harmony, the mind must be aware of the spirit and understand the nature, meaning, and purpose of a spiritual life. The mind must also be committed to a life of goodness and virtue. The body finds congruity by cultivating good health to fully support expression of the mind and spirit through outward action.

The state of the mind determines the extent to which the spirit is able to express itself. If the mind is at peace, open, and seeks spiritual awareness, it will come. When this happens, the mind is compelled to seek outlets for expression of the spirit-self. There is a transformation in one’s motives, intent, and desire.

When harmony is achieved, love and compassion for all things dominates the person’s world view. One’s thoughts are outwardly directed toward the needs of others. There is a strong desire to serve God and humanity, and material things become relatively unimportant. Expression of the spirit energizes mind and body bringing feelings of happiness and well being.

I'm going to be making notes on the nervous system specifically. There's much left to talk about. I want to ramble on and on. It won't stop here. I really don't know what subject I'll be currently talking about but it will be something vital. The component of the human body - the brain. Why it matters? I want particular research in this area. These components. How emotions rise and fall and impact the brain neuro - circuitry. 

specific benefits of developing self-awareness:

  • It gives us the power to influence outcomes
  • It allows us to understand things from multiple perspectives
  • It frees us from our assumptions and biases
  • It decreases stress
  • It makes us happier

Today I applied for the tefl program. I'm succeeding in little ways. Whatever way is possible.

In the grooming department, not much success. Still struggling with basic stuff. Depression can be a hell ride.

I'm thinking about the powerful power of contemplation. Just forgive, let go and move on.

Spiritual Resonance

As the cosmic energies align, we journey through the luminous veil of awakened consciousness. Embrace the vibrational frequency of universal love, allowing your essence to merge with the boundless flow of divine intention. Within the sacred geometry of the soul, we unlock ancient wisdom, transcending the illusion of separateness.

the Clare Graves & Spiral Dynamics theory (which I felt was so accurate in the first tier) from the perspective as a yellow, what is the transitional dilemma and what is aqua like?

So, I'm pretty scared of over-raking myself, but I feel like I am a yellow - I have done a lot of self seeking for years now, and when watching Leo's Clare Graves & Spiral Dynamics, I could follow the system right up to yellow, and I could see in my life how I went from blue, orange, green, yellow. I do associate myself with yellow quite a lot when hearing about their qualities, but as to what might be next seems alien to me, and what aqua could be for me. I want to aim to change myself for the better (obviously), but is there any advice for yellow except to be open minded (which is working really well lately)?

I have read about aqua but I'm not too sure about what I read - even the other colours seemed off in their descriptions.

Here is my theory, 

Yellow is like enlightenment.1 in which you realize your ego, gain a strong and real sense of losing the self, seeing life as the pure-experience it is just in this moment. But, at this stage, as to what reality actually is, is still a bit of a mystery - and studying about quantim physics and science in general doesn't help that much. This seems to be where I am at I would say, and although I am learning new realizations steeply (as compared to before), I cannot tell where this is leading, and I just feel a bit lost as to what I should be changing into with these new realizations.

Aqua is like enlightenment.2, as a common example, what people say Buddha would have reached. This would be complete connection with reality (I have heard that is a theme).

 The brain should have some physical limit as to its comprehension, there must be a limit somewhere right

This was sort of hard to communicate with language but I hope that is clear and all.
