Be Anti Belief & Faith

January 14, 2012
Being ‘religious’ is a blessing! Being part of any religion is to sell yourself, and purpose in life short! Religions are a box, and have a lid on the possibilities that are available for you who are courageous enough to fly to the heights of consciousness where the mysteries of life, and love are stored. Until you escape from the box of any religion, or denial of the spiritual, you are a slave to ‘dead men’s words that have nothing to do with ‘god’ or godliness but to subjugate you to the guilts, and fears that you conjure up all around you. To be religious is a beautiful thing – being part of a religion endlessly is ugly given the alternative of following blissfulness.

To be religious to me means to find enjoyment in love and life. Let religiousness be a thankfulness to being in existence with it’s opportunities of love, joy, laughter, and the ability to grow in consciousness. It leaves one in awe, and with the desire to give back in gratefulness to all of life and love.

God would have committed suicide if he/she had seen the ‘holy scriptures’ allegedly written by him just out of embarrassment. Religions are dogmatic with threats of eternal hell if seen stepping outside of the ‘box’ of their dictums. You must ‘believe’ in their scriptures and have faith that they are ‘God’s word’. I am against belief and faith where one has the possibility of ‘knowing’. It won’t be long before someone comes out with a ‘pill’ that allows one to ‘believe’. To know must be from your own experience. Only the ‘blind’ believes there is light – those who can see – know. If you are blind – then believe there is light.

Why be tethered to the chains of a claimed holy man who didn’t even write what is in the scriptures, let alone having credible evidence that he even existed. Of course, millions, billions, have belief and faith in what hundreds of men have put into writing with no consultation with the alleged source as to what he spoke. People are gullible and blithering idiots to at some point not ‘look beyond’. The ‘takeover’ of the human mind is easy when the people are too busy to challenge the incredible inconsistencies with the ‘intelligence’ of a god who knows everything.

Be your own generating station! ‘Believe’, if you must, while looking for the real answers, and have faith that they are there, but not until you personally know! That’s gratitude for the ‘godliness’ of life given you! Is there a greater sin than betraying yourself, and stopping short of available knowing, with ‘believing’? Knowing comes from the power of truth within. Why stop at ‘believing’?

Fuck Negativity

January 13th, 2012
Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car, nor does the use of any word make you a wordsmith, but it’s a start! People who are not sensitive about the freedom of others speech are repressive and negative! ‘Negative behavior’ is to be avoided, as part of making life for others a more positive experience. Negativity comes in many forms apart from human interaction, let alone humans taking over the leading edge of it. Negativity from others is dependent on your perception of it as being so, and how you deal with it.

Accept that life has infinite negativities. and in sense, part of our evolutionary purpose in life is learning how to turn ‘reacting’ into ‘responding’ from the heart and skillful means. Negativity is like an electric fence to alert others to not touch, and stay away from what’s inside. Likewise, humans harbor unresolved issues behind a fence that has a warning for those paying attention. Why tread in deep water unless you’re prepared to handle it? There is no point in delving into people’s negativity unless it’s a ‘choice less choice’, like in a work environment.

All forms of fear and violence are from not harmonizing with others, creating a negative environment, and putting you possibly in ‘harm’s way’. Three pillars of being ‘spiritual’ are coming from the heart, being aware, and using discernment or common sense in dealing with anything that may have negative overtones. In Manhattan of NYC, where I lived for many years, socializing was most advantageous in ‘dance night clubs’ or upscale singles bars. Almost never did I experience ‘negativity’ from others. On the other hand, the same types of places in other more negative environments frequently experience belligerent behavior.

Negativity is mostly a choice – often a choice of your perception that can be looked at as an opportunity on how to best deal with it, and avoid the unnecessary in the future. As you reach higher in consciousness, and from the heart, you will either ‘overlook’ what once was seen as negative, learn to position yourself at a distance which makes it less negative, or avoid negativity that can be seen ahead of it’s interference with positivity. Life is best when always choosing the top of numerous options, even with a little humor – ‘I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.’

Allowing, and nurturing the love of the beauty that resides in you (as it does for everyone) will clear the skies of your daily life. Always look for the advantages of any negativity, and relocate to higher grounds for the joys that come automatically for those who’s hearts are filled with love.  We need a planet with fewer reasons to grieve and far more reasons to celebrate.

Keep Negative Friends

January 10, 2012
But, don’t call them ‘negative’ and expect a kiss on the cheek! The smarter ‘negative ones’ are likely at least ‘sociopathic’, and almost impossible to reach beyond their invisible guards. A couple I know, are very adept at spiritual talk, being almost impenetrable, but certainly a challenge that can be learned from, if you should see it’s worth. The common negative people, at this time in life, come in all sizes and shapes as well as intensities of negativity. Isolating yourself from all negative people is to not grow in wisdom, however it’s best not to be caught between a rock and a hard place for it’s you who gets smashed.

Many ‘negative types’ wear the occasional clothing of a very positive, charming demeanor that revolves to the ‘dark side of the moon’. Best to position yourself always ready to distance yourself skillfully, or be prepared to walk into their fire, and be blamed for the situation. The positive person who is vulnerable with no experienced, skillful defense, is likely to have the demons from the negative hop onto their mind, and maybe heart. Truth be told, this planet at this time, is more negative than positive, but focusing more on the positive, and how to handle the negative is a divine challenge that helps to make it a better, more harmonious place to live.

Take the ‘negative on’ for a game changer challenge. Seek skillful ways to find some harmony with ‘negative situations’ rather than react. Life needs the negative, although much of it is perception, but always affording the opportunity to see the light in the situation. Balance is the key to dealing with the negative. Balance may mean seeking the positives, or reassessing what appears as an uncomfortable situation of negative stimuli, and seeking the best, positive way to handle it.

I once had a negative rascal who did my customers work in the financial Wall St. deals while I did the marketing. Clearly, he was the most negative of a hundred people in the office, but he knew more than anyone about the business, and how to satisfy the legal and corporate clients. I let him know, how special he was, regardless of his insulting behavior. We became friends, and I got better service than anyone else in the company! Often ‘negative types’ have come from difficult backgrounds, and have not resolved their issues. They likely appreciate compassion and understanding for that. Let compassion and empathy have a chance to grow, and harmonizing while keeping your ‘self knowing’, is an excellent way.

We are all teachers, even the unconscious negative teaches the more positive, and with empathy and compassion, the positive teaches back, particularly if done discretely. We never know who, when, where, or how we can affect others. Let the divine energy accumulate in you, and it’s aura will silently spread out to others. Give positive, and receive negative positively.

Dogs, Wives, Cats

January 4, 2012
Put your dog, wife, and a cat in the trunk of a car for a few minutes. Open the trunk, and notice each’s behaviors, especially who still is glad to see you! One jumps out, and runs away, the other is angry and pissed, and one is excited to see you! Abuse of women, be they a wife or little girl. is rampant in some cultures, and is a crime, sadly often taken without legal recourse. Early abuse by males of the ‘weaker’ sex (?) is the leading reason why many females may not be the ‘goddesses’ that they can be.  Additionally, cultural deprivation of education and love is epidemic in most societies.

Religions are all male created for domination, and control of more than their neighbors, but also as an excuse to put females in an inferior place with reasons why that’s not true. No religion or culture has been dedicated to teaching all humans as equal except recent social moves in educationally advanced societies, and apart from religions.

Males in the billions create situations where women are kept, and treated, no better than animals. Sadly, women often serve men because they have allowed themselves, usually with little choice, to be controlled by men for perceived survival much like a dog who knows where his food comes from. In this new world of expanding ways to find information on creating a better ‘self awareness’, females must take the initiative to gain ‘self power and love’.

Going ‘too far’ in liberation or independence needs a balance of self love, or females can become like the ‘cat’ who thinks it needs no one. We are all interdependent. We are all built to enjoy our lives more by opening our hearts to all sensitivities. Perhaps the greatest one is to excel in communication of all forms, verbal, emotional, and by actions.
Dogs and cats are limited in their ability to communicate, and certainly, to find out how. No longer is that the case for all humans in countries with access to forms of education. World wide in past history females have not been as welcome as a new born as males for twisted male reasons amounting to stupidity and non compassion.

Largely in the animal kingdom, males are a significant minority. It seems reasonable that we need methods to control the birth of the number of males to give females a chance for once to make this a world more gentle and humane. It’s time to put male energy in the ‘trunk’ of the future, at least until there is a healthy balance of female and male energies world wide. If we need religions, let women create them new and fresh for a more loving world, and one, unlike the present ones, that include humor and laughter.

Don’t Forgive, Just Forget

January 3, 2012
Breaking News:
Please don’t laugh, but open you mind to the possibility that our cultures, and religions need to be reexamined for words that no longer mean what someone once thought. My insights on this were prompted by a friend’s viewpoints that made me think of a recent real situation for me with a dear loved one who turned away, and disappeared only to unexpectedly, after 8 years, resurface to reconnect with warm, loving words which continue from nearly a year ago. Her sudden exit was very hurtful, but I could understand the unresolved issues that allowed her to do so quite disconcertingly. Resolved personal issues in her, made her available, and with greater love.

When you feel love for yourself, you automatically feel it for others, and even more for someone very close. No need to forgive, and a natural opportunity is to forget. Forgetting is not necessarily a quick response, but needs not be something harboring inside instead slowly moving on. Focusing on forgiving is to dredge up memories that are perceived as negative (and may well be), but what service is it to you to dwell on the negative instead of using the same energy to look to rise above the lingering anger, hurt, sadness, confusion or whatever?

Focus on being more aware of what caused unhappy situations, while looking to be more aware, hence discerning of all aspects of life encountered. That which can’t seem to be forgotten, needs to become unattached to while in remembrance of opening the heart for love within as well as for others. All experiences are ‘teachers’ or a ‘guru’ for further use on the journey. Look deeply, with compassion, common sense, and an open heart at all challenges, and move on, in a more positive direction. Position yourself in the most harmonious way to everything. Know when you’re crossing over a line putting yourself in harm’s way.

Religions have taught us forever to ‘forgive’, but why the mess of violence, and every negative imaginable continuing? Forget, then forgiveness is not necessary. Why spend endless time remembering what you need to forgive someone for? Holding grudges is immature, and an impediment to other proactive decisions that are life and love supportive. When you forget, then all you have to do is focus on ‘self awareness’. Be the watcher, and open the heart. Stick your wife and pet dog in a car trunk for a few minutes before opening, and see which one is really happy to see you. No forgiving necessary for the loving one who just ‘forgets’, and is in natural love! Keep an open heart!

Bubble of Love

January 6, 2012
People love each other from different energy intensities. Does anyone ever ask the other what their intensity is on a 1 to 10 scale, or is it safer not to ask, particularly thinking the question might be asked of you! Likely both wouldn’t rate love of themselves as a ’10’, and be able to reasonably prove it. Love appears illogical, but is actually ‘very logical’ and can be measured with near accuracy by accounting for one’s past experiences.

We, in the US, think we have a way of measuring a students aptitude for achievement in college, using a standardized test call the SAT, which is now recognized as an empty acronym, and more and more controversial as to it’s reliability. These SAT results can have control of millions of lives even though the results are highly questionable, and leave out, in testing, many other factors such as ‘emotional stability’, self awareness, happiness, personal evolvement, love capacity, etc. The SAT is about as reliable in determining practical aspects of a persons future life as does how much milk one drinks – in other words – nothing. Follow the money in the educational systems (factories), and for the corporations that hire on the basis of their outcome, as well as who profits for millions of them administered.

Love, on the other hand, is much easier to measure than a persons mental aptitude which has little to do with life’s most important value, namely love. In measuring a persons current love ability, it all depends on asking the best questions, and allowing the other to answer using a ‘logical numbering system’ to represent quality self analysis. If one knows how to ask the right questions, as well as check for accuracy, the answers will be near accurate for where one is presently in terms of ‘love capability’.

Love is like a ‘bubble’ in that sometimes even the smallest action can burst what others saw as a ‘relationship made in heaven’. ‘Bubble love’ means ‘conditional love’, and that is where one has to ‘walk carefully’ avoiding either many inner thoughts, actions, or feelings, to protect the ‘bubble’. Love that’s never a bubble comes from unconditionally loving oneself as you are inside. Love is stronger than death. If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got! Why live life avoiding all the air available to breath? Love is in the air, in fact air is love!

Marry for Money

January 4, 2012
Love for love! Marriage is totally unnecessary for love as are infinite other things that are reasons why people marry. My focused observation over the years on marriage is that almost no couple consist of two people who love unconditionally, and have the same, or a high passion for being married for reasons other than ‘insecurities’. I love the real complete harmony of two people deep in love with each other. Nothing to do with marriage, or how long the physical connection will last! Nothing! Rare is the couple in unconditional love who marry – why should they other than to receive government monetary benefits if available?

Any one truly in love, does not insist on holding on to it, but is open to the ‘freedom’ of the other as more important. Marriage is a contractual bonding, and is maintained primarily by agreements, fears of what changes might occur if terminated, and a less than desired fear of losing whatever love is there, if only in memory. Love is life’s golden opportunity to raise one’s level of consciousness, and lead a more full and blissful life. Love comes ‘alone’ especially through parental love, or later meditation on the ‘alone path’.

Few are ready, or will ever be, to reach to love’s pinnacles but to squander in some semblance of love coupled with a variety of negative clouds where love can be seen or felt for all but a minimal percentage of the time. Being in love is wise. Marrying frequently isn’t, and does not guarantee continued love. Unconditional love from two people guarantees a permanent fixed smile of love within for each, together or not. Few men seek to marry for the security of money from the woman. Few women don’t seek security monetarily and otherwise. Nothing wrong in that, but realize that if genuine love is the primary reason to be together, the pickings are extremely small for those qualified, including your unconditional capacity to respond.

Love for money and love for the other is all too often about the same. Always make sure, a sufficient amount of love is in you, and the other, then if you must, seek one who makes living comfortable which likely includes money in marriage seeking. Why not have money if quality love is not easy or hopeless to find? It will require losing some of the ‘freedom’ that real love brings, but money can buy a lot of privileges. Far less than 1 out of a thousand will be focused on superconscious love, and few of those find a ‘need’ to marry. Married or partnering in a superconscious love may be the best existence available, but the same ‘alone’, and centered is not far behind!
