Smarter Than You! 😜 Inline image The world ‘shakes and teeters on the verge of destruction’, while its inhabitants, from top to bottom quibble over who’s right and wrong, ignoring that more love decides that there is much beyond. We are all blessed and picked to be here at this extraordinary moment in time to rise and shine above the waves of obstruction that thwart our journey to a more promised land that is here now. Those loved ones who’ve passed to the other side are watching, hoping that their efforts to make this opportunity to fly above the ages of sorrows is a clear path to a new superconscious planet. The lids on truth are smothering our ‘blackmailed’ leaders into nothing but helpless followers. The sun can’t shine when our portals of hope and social advancement are addled in darkness and deception. It’s time to shut off the distractions from truths and see that we are the apathetic sleepwalkers who have kept the shades of truth closed to create the stumbling and pains for the gains of the individual and collective over and over again. The ‘birth of a new dawn’ is within each who steps into the light of the opportunities that are now before each of us. We are each limited in more ways than not to be the answers to the journey into a better world, and yet each of us is unlimited in someway to have the gifts to open windows of light. We all have the debilitating darkness and ignorance within but together, seeing and accepting each’s gift of contributions, we rise in unison to be the ‘second coming’ of life that creates a heaven on earth like never before. We all know little, yet each of us knows more than most in individual endeavors. Tomorrow is here now. The past is now to accept and rise beyond with the positives, and let go of the negatives. The future is here and now. The chains of mediocrity are unlocked for freedom to choose how best to use the opportunities to rise to the occasion. Throw out the old, and make room for the new. Change of the ‘chains of habits that we all lug like a ball and chain’ can drift away and open the answers to a new way. We are all smarter than we think as long as we know that everyone else is too. The ‘hit of the moment’ is ‘you’ seeing the truths within. Inline image

June 30, 2021 These are the days of censorship, political incorrectness, and ‘words that trigger’ unnecessary reactions & judgments. Maybe those were always here, but covered up and now exposed due to technological innovations. Because of this, these are the times of forgotten ‘Days of Wine & Roses’ by Henri Mancini from a more innocent time of the early ’60’s. That being said, I’ve come up with my own list of ‘trigger names or words’ that need to have a ‘let go’ of attachment to negative reactions enabling a more spiritual time to begin: My sometimes shocking censored (?) selection: RACIST; RACISM; bonehead; numbskull; idiot; knucklehead; moron; meathead; jerk; turkey; imbecile; loser; nutcase; screwball; joker; shit head; fuck head; fuck face; killer; bubble brain; hayseed; schmiel; do do; redneck; pothead; nitpicker; cornball; dope; asshole; bastard; cock sucker; birdbrain; moose breath; couch potato; schmuck; sheeple; brat; bimbo; lowlife; fucker; scum; scumbag; space head/cadet; air heard; skitso; simpleton; batty; glutton; man eater; robot; candy ass; twitter brain; nerd; geek; psychic vampire; dipsy doodle; tweaker; psycho; battle ax; scatter brain; dingle berry; creep; scoundrel; tripper; stray dog; pig/piggy/piglet; ugly; numb nuts; melon head; hair brain; bitch; egg head; son of a bitch; cunt; prick; bible thumper; noodle brain; meth head; goofball; nincompoop; cracker; pea brain; nigger; yo yo; wacky/whack job; basket case; hooker; bozo; lunkhead; porch monkey; jungle bunny; simpleton; fag; hypo; low life; bottom feeder; lunatic: dweeb; du-fuss; dork; Mamby pamby; ding-a-ling; sourpuss; goober head; jackass; cockroach; loggerhead; mealy mouth; fart head; sweat hog; beetle brain; drama queen; wind bag; douche bag; ditsy; dimwit; blood fart … So many more… No word should control your ego negatively, nor should anyone have to walk on eggshells wondering what can be said or not. There are hundreds of languages and dialects with an equal amount of words that have been ‘control words’. Life is best knowing how to live in the ‘wordless heart’. Always remember, ‘words are just sounds’ and someone speaking another language only hears what amounts to a non decipherable ‘sound. Judgments are really against yourself. In being ‘more spiritual’, clutter in the mind, even if trauma memories, is not the highest spirit of you. In unlimited past lives, likely most everyone has experienced traumas that they even clung to throughout life, that could have been healed through the use of the mind and heart techniques that are more available now than ever before. You are in charge of the inner you that is no less than your best friend and perhaps more. Always, seek to let go, sometimes it’s instant and sometimes things have a reason to take longer. You are a miracle, and on a ‘clear day, you can see forever’. Let the mind be that consistent ‘clear day’ and be the ‘days of wine and roses’! Arhata~

Informational Firewall ⚒️️ Inline image June 20, 2021 Do you have an invisible barrier to hide behind from who you really are, and cloaked in denial because of fear of rejection. Perhaps it could just be just an unconscious protectiveness from what ‘broken’ or damaged things are within. The ‘firewall person’ usually doesn’t have a ‘firewall or tongue tourniquet’ about outer things that they are knowledgeable about including ‘outer experiences’. However your inner experiences need not be put in a closet to be forgotten, or even more to be avoided and denied. Many often, to avoid exposing their true nature and feelings, put up barriers that amount to evading exposure of their life’s resume. In a way, it becomes like a ‘prolonged adolescence’. Life need not become a slow quicksand where you age into immobility. The body ages, although less than it does for many, if your attitude is to live with what inspires growth within as well as without. Each is ageless, but susceptible to imaginary control self evaluation that stimulates either growth or only deterioration. Critical ‘self thinking’ for the best choices of the many before you is a ‘best choice’ for inner growth to a more positive, useful, and joyful life. Do you worry about the unknown, uncertain and unpredictable future? Stop worrying about it, and start trusting life a little bit more.Trust that everything that happens, happens for your growth and is an opportunity to find something that will enhance your life. Trust that life knows your potential and it will nurture you. Help it along by seeing and knowing that. Trust that life works for you and with you, no matter how things work out. Trust your future and this may help you to make the most of life as it happens. Like a car stuck in the sand or snow, the car gets unstuck because of intent, examination of how to right the wrong, and motion (emotion) to move on. We are all running out of time. Why run in place with no direction? Everything will be alright if you wake up and start moving into the way of the light. Wake up and don’t be a milquetoast and slip into an eternal sleep. The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others. The moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a ‘sheeple’, you become a lion and a great roar arises in your heart and that is the roar of freedom. Arhata~ Inline image

June 21, 2021 The reason for two ears and one mouth is to ‘listen’ more than talking! Joining a big Corporation in NYC out of college, one thing stressed in our sales meetings were, ‘shut up and listen! Another good complimentary advise with that was the acronym, ‘KISS - keep it simple, stupid’. Talking too much (a tsunami of the lips) for the listener to care or pay attention to is being too self absorbed and insensitive to the hopeful listener. Talking over people is akin to quickly going thru a red light rather than stopping as a courtesy and respect for others. I recall one friend who was so non stop talking, that I could put the phone down and come back minutes later, and he would still be talking. Of course, that sounds impolite too, but over time I’d asked him to tune in to the art of two way communication which involves empathy for the others feelings. Why be attached to your bad habits, or the fear of getting others opinion about them, especially those who you value as having common sense, and having a constructive criticism. Worse yet perhaps is to ignore a habit that annoys others rationalizing because no one says anything (out of politeness or fear of your reaction) that is symptomatic of selfishness. Continued non correction of unthoughtful outer behavior is a reflection of an inner reaction to unresolved issues. It’s a given natural to want freedom, yet we put ourselves often in the shackles of our own rigidness to positive change. Listen to the heart speak its volumes while seeking its unison with the receiver. Words are overrated and the volume of hearing automatically goes down with lack of or feigned interest. Certainly there is a time for words, but best when in synchronicity with conscious openness and sensitivity. Words in print allow for keeping in precise tune with no overtaking. Sometime the ‘sounds of silence’ can open a new world of communication that mysteriously foments a deeper understanding and friendship. Words can clutter the mind such that many are in a ‘word jail’ or life with them shackled in prison. Intellect is of the mind, and it’s good to have the ‘intelligence’ to know when to let it go and enjoy the nature of just being in a healthy, calm, smiling way. You are ‘saved’ when in harmony with all! A smile is wordless!

WTF is Meditation? 🙏 Inline image June 13, 2021 Is it vitamins for the heart and mind? An inner vacuum cleaner? A reboot technique? A technique to soften and/or un-attach from personal traumas? Creating a mind/heart set to reexamine situations in your life for lessons and/or opportunities? A method to heal whatever ails you or at least make it more manageable? A gift from the Eastern guru’s? A focus and development into an art of deepening our love of self and ability to love another more? Why was this technique practically unheard of in the western world until it silently and gradually slipped in during the 60’s and 70’s with it’s Yoga and meditating techniques as well as it’s popularity of the music group, the Beatles and guru’s or Masters of the ‘spiritual’ from India like Yogananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Vivekananda, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (aka Osho), and the first popular American, guru Ram Das (Richard Alpert), etc. Meditation (meditating is the act and art of non doing and ‘letting go’). It’s a process of getting to know yourself deeply and completely, both who you are inside and how you react to what is outside. Meditating is, in its many different techniques, a helper for you to enjoy yourself beyond the stresses and troubled moments to see that they are merely superficial. You will experience that your true nature, and the real you is actually very positive. You are really in the true sense a miracle of nature born to see and experience that. The essence of meditation is just witnessing the body, mind and feelings without judgment. Modern humans, of eastern or western origin has changed so much that new methods are needed. Hence, many ancient methods of meditating are available that counter sitting and ‘just contemplating one’s belly button. Many methods besides forms of breathing and being still embody Yogic techniques and many pre meditative techniques that involve sounds, movements, aerobic exercises, etc. Infinite forms of meditating can be tailored to the individuals wants and needs. Meditation is a very simple phenomenon. Meditation is not to do something, but to just be and not doing anything while being at your center. It’s a knack of un-disturbance, and being with the flow. Utter silence is its empowerment for more joy, clarity, vision, and creativity. To be the watcher and not the doer. Watchfulness and awareness, unclouded and not disturbed. A main thing to know is that meditation should be a fun thing to look forward too. It’s not often thought of, but coupling in deep love is perhaps the greatest meditation opportunity. Be the wordless watcher and experience who you really are. Arhata~

Islam Best Religion Inline image June 10, 2021 There is ‘no comfort in the truth’, and this is one! The last major religion to survive, I believe will be the last of the Abrahamic religions consisting of Judaism, Christianity, and lastly, 'Islam'. Others may say Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, etc. Actually, it doesn’t matter. There is a new religion already here in its infant stages hidden in plain site. People are ready for it, but they just aren’t of the mindset to move away from the churches, temples, and mosques that are run by well meaning administers who bring the words of god by whatever name to billions of people. It’s not wise to suddenly take people out of the rural country of say 100 years ago and suddenly put them into a bustling modern city of different rules, regulations and expectations. Life is and will always have mysteries hidden from all eyes. Why are we here, what’s it about, where are we going after death? Why is there such trauma? On and on. All religions are man made (no women) for the people of the times who needed allegories, parables, and archetypes to have moral guidance, optimism, hope, promise of an afterlife, etc. Also, they were/are control devices of the people (major). Still most are of the mindset of people hundreds, thousands of years ago, and they still have a purpose now. There are of course many truths in all religions, but many falsities and bullshit also. As one evolves and sees another way of seeing the same thing with more clarity, religions will slowly disappear and holy books will become museum pieces. Not time to throw the baby out with the water! There is beauty in all religions but mixed with a lot of statements that need better usage of words, ie., King David was a Muslim is a perception that is 'feel good' for Muslims while not so for normal evolved Jews. The good news is no one 'has to’ change their belief in their God or holy man. Beliefs have meaning and will continue. It’s good to know though that all beliefs come with doubt by definition. One should have strong ‘faith’ in their beliefs, without that beliefs are weak. One can be blinded by religions if there is no questioning. Love or religion best experienced is from a clear heart and open mind. The scriptures are in the loving heart. Most carry the burdens of unresolved issues which inevitably, like a changing weather day of sun, clouds, and showers, need belief that there will be days of comfortable sun. There may be a rainbow of hope, but a clear sky within the heart and mind lets the sun of love and the ‘Sun of God’ shine in. A mind and heart of meditation knows that regardless of systems of belief, there can be a godliness and a savior in the heart regardless of how the holy books describe them. Positive Prayer and Meditation are roads to knowing the new religiousness. Arhata~
