Sweet Treats???

The sticky, sweet sustenance of sugar are ingested to help give our bodies a simple solution to its depleted energy, but how long will that energy last? Within every issue in life, sugary, sticky solutions arrive. It’s like candy to a baby, why not take a bite? Why not embrace the simple, the easy, the icing on the cake? I want to bask in it; I want to indulge in the sweetness no matter how quick that energy may leave me. Why not simply over eat? Lets just devourer all of the sticky treats that lay at hand. It’s like heaven in a plate, a dish of delectable deserts. So if I eat them all then I will gain the feeling of being satisfied. Or maybe those sweet treats my just sit in my gut and cause it to protrude. Is this what I want? A fat gut at the cost of the sweets? Do I want to feel again depleted of energy in a few moments because I’ve chosen the sweet treats as my only sustenance? And so it is with life, wisdom and knowledge are at hand but then the lucidness of just giving in is there as well. Feed the mind with insight, not junk. Stand for what you feel you should, remain in growth and keep it going. Never give in to fear no matter what. Never allow others to dictate what is good for YOU. If one can’t accept you for all that you are they truly aren’t accepting YOU. If it is only an aspect and not the whole then how is that love? If they allow the sweet treats to remain but frown at the nutritional entrées then what are they to you? A growth will occur; it can occur in a bad, ugly growth or in a beautiful, enlightening, strengthening growth. Evolution is happening right now and change will transpire. These sticky treats may be tasty for the moment but why would you want to fill up on junk? Why not be free, embrace the sustenance that will take part in your growth instead. But in saying all of this; there is nothing wrong with indulging in a “sweet treat” here and there. Keep life interesting yes; but still fill yourself with the nutritional, loving, empowering sustenance for your body and soul in a plenteous manner. It’s not the all out only gossip truth that I speak, but these are my simply, very, humble opinions that I share, do what you want with them and BE LOVE!!!

Namaste : )

Give Love freely.

"If you are feeling hurt or just plain angry, don’t give in to it! Instead go and give someone an unexpected compliment, smile at a stranger, do something for someone without expecting something back in return, just go find someone and serve them in a loving manner. This really does works better then drinking, smoking, or drugging your problems away. Its guaranteed to work. You will feel better, stronger and more ready to take on whatever the world throws at you after doing any loving, kind act for another. This really works!"

There are actually endorphins that are release within our physical, bodily structure after we do a kind act that gives even a physical reason why my quote which I used above is truth. We are loving individuals because we come from love and love truly is the answer to every issue bad or good. Someone that we care about may have rejected us in an unseen way, someone may have lied to us or cheated us out of something, we might even feel that things are going so bad in life that taking our very own life in itself may seem like the only solution out of a situation. We begin feeling negativity in any aspect because we align ourselves with a vibration of fear, this is what fear does, it separates us from joy and happiness, and it bars us from simply growing in a free manner. The best way to gain the vibe of love back from this fear vibe is to be love, be loving and that light of love will always outshine the darkness of fear. Simply head out, go and sweep off some elderly person's porch then leave without even letting them know you did it. You can even simply tell someone that they look lovely today without expecting anything in return, or why not just simply look a stranger in the eyes and smile at them. In doing any of these things (or any positive thing you can think of) love will shine bright, heaven on earth and within LIFE will be a step closer and you will simply feel great about yourself and about life. It really isn't hard to find someone in this fear based world to cheer up at all so the task is very easy to accomplish.

So instead of yelling at an individual because they've "pissed" you off or thinking that it would be better to hurt someone because they've hurt you, go out and be of service to someone. Seriously do this without the intentions of gaining anything back in return. If you do I promise you that happiness will spring from within your soul like a jack in the box. You will feel so euphoric that you won't even understand why you bothered to feel angry in the first place. This world is full of love and that love is the light of God. God is really everywhere all of the time but for you and me, the most potent place that God does dwell is within our hearts and souls. Simply do as God does, radiate love and joy and your whole mood will change to one of imprisonment to one of empowerment. An answer to all of your hard issues will come to you in a more potent manner if you are in a loving mood. If you aren't, don't expect insight to find you. Be love, let go of all of your issues, allow God to handle things that you find too much for you (by simply not even worrying at them) and simply serve in a positive light. I promise you that even if an answer doesn't come right away, the serving part will make you feel better, then and only then will you hear the voice of God speaking to you from within your heart and soul, and then, all will be well and everything will turn out perfect.

Solution within

"When we are immersed in the depths of a problem, our situation is like the baby chick encased in its shell. As the chick evolves, the shell becomes a polluted and claustrophobic environment where its space, mobility, and plenitude are challenged. God does not step up to the plate and "solve" this problem for the chick. The solution has already been placed in the seed of the chick's existence-the chick pecks its own way out when it has sufficiently evolved to maintain a life outside the shell. And so it is within us. All that we need to do is peck our way out of any challenging predicaments, its (our solution to an issue) is already within us, awaiting activation by our taking self-responsibility" Michael Bernard Beckwith

I've learned a lesson in life which has served me in so many ways. Its a lesson of failure and pain. I've also tried to push the reasons for my failures and pains on others in the past and with that, I've uncosciously embraced more pain. As a matter of fact, every time that I've done this I've basically empowered individuals with the charge of my happiness. Then one day I came to a realization. This came in meditation. Following my meditation session, because my mind was no longer like a body of water which was shaken up so that ever piece of muck and murkiness floated around I was able to see. My meditating calmed the waters of my mind down in a much needed way. Life is so full of hustle and bustle, we are so full of this world and its demands and within all of that mess, our mind waters become shaken up. Nothing but worldly mess floats around within our minds. Our jobs, our family issues, our financial situations, our this and our that, we never see the end of it. Then when we find ourselves in a struggle and we are hurting for a way out, we then see no one else to put our pain on but the people who are within our lives. Then we start the blame game and it never ends. It becomes never our fault. But the thing is, every solution to our problems lie within us. We do know what to do in order to get out of an issue because quiet frankly, we are the ones who put ourselves in these so called issues anyway. The issue and the solution is simply located within and calming the mind with sitting in silence (all televisions and radios must go off for this!!!!) is the quickest way to see this as fact. We must allow all of that muck which the world has place in our mind waters to settle. It needs to settle just as dirt and muck would settle to the bottom of a pond once it has arrived at a calmness within itself. Then and only then will our mind waters be clear enough for us to see a solution.

Do you think a chick which is still encased in it's shell blames the shell for its situation. Do you think it sits there and says, "damn shell, why don't you move out my way!!" or do you think that it simply comes up with a solution to get out of the shell by itself? Chicks know that they have the power to free themselves from the shell when it is time. They realize that it's all within them, this power which can give them all the freedom they need to gain. We need to take a lesson from the chicks. All is located within us, we just need to find calmness within ourselves and the answer will come. It may come in the form of someone talking to us, or in the form of us leaving a relationship or a job situation that doesn't serve us. It make come in the form of us simply putting a stop to fights that we may constantly have with people in our lives and allow them to be right (even if we know they aren't). It make come in so many forms but for it to be felt, we need to first gain this insight from within. We need to feel it in our hearts and in our minds. After this occurs we will come to the realization that we are strong enough and wise enough to get out of a harsh and hurtful situation. It is all within us all, the solution to an issue always dwells with us no matter what or how harsh.

The Ankh cross (life)

The Ankh Cross represents life (immortality) and death as one aspect of it all, also male and female, balance. It can also represent zest, joy of life, and energy. It's closely related to the looped cross that can mean fertility and life. The Ancient Egyptians used the ankh to stand for the word ʿnḫ meaning life. It is also called crux ansata, Latin for cross-with-a-handle.

Symbols are a very important aspect of humanity. Ever since humans emerged and gained the intellect that comes with the human spark, symbols have been in use. A symbol that I've come to embrace is that of the Ankh cross.

The Ankh, also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata, was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life", a triliteral sign for the consonants ˁ-n-ḫ. Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest.

Some people embrace symbols that represent suffering, some embrace symbols that represent hate. Others embrace symbols that represent the eternalness of life which is at hand. This is what the Ankh cross represents for me. It is a symbol that started as a Egyptian hieroglyphic, then it was embraced later on by certain Christian groups. It is a symbol that represents the power of life, it stands for the utter strength of God. In Egypt, gods are often represented carrying an Ankh, these gods and goddess are depicted as some of the more powerful ones. To embrace ones own God given divinity would be a great benefit in life. With a power like God's within, what could stop you from achieve great heights in life? Well, this power does dwell within all of us but some are ether afraid to embrace it or were taught that they weren't good enough to embrace it in full. It is something that dwells deep in our souls, something that gives us strength to rise out of the darkness that life sometimes puts us through, and it is a very empowering bit of wisdom to maintain. We all are One and apart of Love which is God in its truest form and I for one am not afraid to tell anyone whom I blatantly see this light shining through so. Nothing wrong with being one of the great ones to bare that Ankh, even if you don't have one of our own to bare, bare it within your heart and soul.

For me to say that nothing is needed accept belief in oneself is to cut off all of the egoic folk who want you to find God or happiness through them. It isn't cutting off God because God is just as much apart of us and with us as our own essence is. Empowerment gives and allows growth within itself, it doesn't strike fear in the hearts of its beloved. The Ankh is a powerful symbol to embrace if it is understood in an empowering way. To be love is to be one with God, to be One with God is to dwell within heaven's gates, and to dwell in heaven's gates is nothing but sheer, utter joy. If it isn't an Ankh that you choose to embrace, embrace something else that gives power and strength. To acutally make it really simply, all one actually needs to do is embrace the power of Love but even so, I personally think that Ankh cross is pretty darn cool.

I'm not afraid!!!!!

"I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) To take a stand (to take a stand) Everybody (everybody) Come take my hand (come take my hand)We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just lettin you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)" Eminem, Not afraid

Why is this road which is full of darkness within my life for? What is this road of harsh realities real purpose for me? Why must I see myself as an aspect of the weak, too afraid to speak on things that sit within my heart ready to causee all that I am to explode? For me, the time has come, the time has arrived for me to stop walking that same road of darkness within any aspect of my life and make what I've been dreaming of happen. Growth has occurred in great measures for me, I've reached heights in my physical, spiritual and mental self more so then I would have ever imagined. I am definitely walking a righteous road , but I can't say that I've been placing every footed step of life on this road of righteousness.

An opportunity did recently rise within my life that might have had more promise then I could have even thought it to. This opportunity if taken just may have brought my most potent dream to reality. As a child growing up I never even imagined that I would gain an opportunity that would bring so much happiness from within me to the surface, I guess I still have a little bit of that childhood fear within me because when the opportunity presented itself I felt as if wasn't able to take advantage of it. I told myself that there was a chance that all may not turn out for the better, I also said that there was a chance that I would get rejected, I could get spoken to in a negative way and in turn could become very, very hurt. But even so, at lease I would have known, I would have known with sheer truth and strength that I did give it a go, Iwould have known that I wasn't afraid and I would have been able to grow from the experience into a better me.

We've all been given opportunities in life that seemed too good to be true. We all have dreams and hopes and these dreams and hopes are the seeds which God had planted in us for a reason. Fear truly is darkness, its like a drought, no moister. Like sheer blackness to a seedling which is in the soil, waiting for the light; ready to sprout. Fear literally "nips it in the bud" for us all. Nothing that we've dreamed of is impossible, nothing is unjust and the day will come where we all will gain an opportunity to make all that we've dreamed of and deserve come to the light of truth. We may need to go through a "dark night" to get to the shine, but even so we will gain at lease an opportunity to gain that shine. Situations as such reminds me of a biblical story that I've read in the pass, this story was about an individual named Job. I'm not going to tell the whole story here but I will share the reason why I've brought this story up. Job had faith, an unshakable faith and with that faith he knew what he wanted out of his life. He went through harsh circumstances and still maintained his faith. His faith in love (God) was what shone the light which did eventually eat away at all of the darkness which had been manifesting within his life. He did have fear at times but that aspect of love which was always with him was stronger then the darkness still. There is nothing that can shake Love because Love is all and Love is everything. It is the answer to all of our issues in life and all of our problems. Love always empowers, this is all it does and fear disables. Fear really is darkness and love is light. For a plant to grow, it needs light. It needs this light because this light is its life force. This is the same for all of the dreams that are sitting dormant within our hearts. Its the same for this dream that has been sitting in my heart ever since I've encountered "her". Now just as it is with me its time for us all of us to rise.

"And I just can't keep living this way. So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage. I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons. I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground, I've had enough, now I'm so fed up. Time to put my life back together right now! (now)" Eminem, Not afraid

This now moment is the only moment we ever will have, it is all that ever will be. Opportunities present themselves ONCE in a lifetime. We may get opportunities similar to those that we've passed up (if we do we are really fortunate) but it can't been counted on. So in short, this blog is about becoming empowered. If you have a career that you really want to obtain, you have a person whom you have "deep" feeling for and you want them to be with you and be within your life, if you have a fear that is stopping you from moving forward, you have extra weight that you really want to lose, take the step now!!! Do it now and stop living the same way you've been living. It isn't working!!!! Fear is nothing but a cage and we are all strong enough to break it. So let's all come together and face it down. I'm no longer afraid, are you??

They know not what they do

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. (Luke 23:34 )

Last night I came home to a very unpleasant situation. Someone had broken into my home and ransacked everything; stuff was literally thrown about ever which way. They (the individuals that broke in to my home) made away with my cell phone, computer and my digital camera and then pretty much ruin the house to a point that it took me hours to clean the mess up. As a matter of fact I just got done cleaning all of what they did today (last night I cleaned just enough so that I could go to bed, I finished up with the cleaning today). Now last night when I found out about the situation I was out on the town in that act of enjoying my Memorials day weekend. I was in good spirit and I was having plenty of fun. Then as soon as I found out what had happened my sprit totally plummeted. I felt angry and I was no longer able to enjoy my night. I thought to myself that because I spend my life helping people out that it just wasn’t right for anyone to do to me what occurred to last night at all. I still feel this way but the way that I perceived the situations in general has truly changed. The thought that caused me to totally look at the situation in a different and more in a positive light was the verse that I used for this blog today. I thought of Jesus and how he was nailed up on that cross, suffering more then I have ever suffered in life and he still was begging for forgiveness of the people who were putting him through what he had to undergo. This is the case because Jesus knew who he was and he also knew that the people who caused his suffering did not. As a matter of fact these people didn’t truly know who they were because if they did there would have been no way that they would have done to Jesus what they did. They wouldn’t have been able to do the kind of heinous act which they did to Jesus to anyone if they truly knew who they were.

The reasons which eluded the people who burglarized me and also eluded the individuals who did what they did to Jesus is the same reasons that made Jesus feel that it was his responsibility to enlighten the masses like he did, he did this because he knew that he was one with his father God and also he knew that every single person who lived also shared that oneness. He knew that within the heart of each person lies something that defines what he was in full. Jesus knew that within each person’s heart, God truly does dwell. He knew that the energy that drove him to do his good works was within everyone and because of this fact he was connected with everyone who lived and who was in existence in more of an intimate way then any of them realized. There is no way that a person’s arm would try and break a finger on the hand that was connected to that same arm unless it wasn’t aware of what it was doing. There is no tree which has branches that are foolish enough to fight among themselves. It makes no since because if the branches on the tree would try and hurt each other those very same branches would only be hurting themselves. This is the same “oneness”, the same connection that we all here on earth have with each other. In all essence there is One earth and that One earth dwells in One universe. As in uni which translates into one and verse which can be seen as song, so we are all a part the same song. There is One of us and that One which is the truth of us all is expressed in different manners. There is one universal field which is the ultimate energy which actually gives life to us all. If we try and take away or destroy any aspect of that Oneness then we truly are taking away or destroying ourselves. We all are here in existence for a reason just as every cell in our body has a reason. If one cell starts to take away from other cells it is called a cancer cell and if it isn’t set straight it will destroy the body in whole thus destroying itself in this act. The world we live in will fall apart if this fact isn’t realized. We all will be destroyed and it will be out of self destruction. So this is why I ask all who come across this to pray in the truest manner that they know to pray in for the individuals whom burglarized me last night. Pray for all who take away or hurt others for they own ego’s purpose. Pray for them so that they will see the light and they will realize and understand. Pray for that aspect of Love which lives within them to shine through them just as it never has before. Pray for them so that they will become that aspect of Love in full, thus they will become the true person that they were meant to be.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44

That is what it is all about, they truly know not what they do and they really need prayers more then any of us. They need this prayer before they destroy themselves and in the same act destroy us all. We are all One, we are all of One Love and that is as true as it gets.

The Big Wow

According to the generally accepted cosmological model, there was a period of rapid inflation during the split second that directly followed the big bang-something like 10 seconds-in which the universe expanded very, very quickly. After this initial burst, it slowed down and has been expanding much more gradually ever since. An Italian physicist named Paola Zizzi came up with a theory that during this rapid expansion, the entire universe may have been in a kind of cosmic state of quantum superposition in which multiple universes were possible. She made some calculations and found that by the end of the rapid expansion period, the universe had reached the same critical threshold for quantum collapse that Roger Penrose had Founded to occur in the human brain during each moment of consciousness, In other words, in the split second after the big band, the universe had a cosmic moment of consciousness. This was later named “the big wow theory” Zizzi went on to suggest that our human consciousness may be a literal microcosm of the cosmic-consciousness moment that occurred during the big bang. This means that we’re all subcomponents of that initial conscious awareness that still pervades the entire universe. (Article taken from “EnlightenNext” magazine)

In the theory above, the implications that are stated dictate a universe that was began with pure consciousness. There is a lot to this theory and I’m not going to be able to cover all of what it entails in this blog, I will however go deeper into it in a book that I am now writing called “Namasteday”. When that book is written I will that all know within this blog about it but in the meantime I did want to touch a bit about this theory. Basically Paola Zizzi came up with a discovery about the universe and consciousness and she also wrote a paper on it (if that sparks your interest you may want to read her actual paper. If you decide to look it up, it is called “Emergent Consciousness; From the Early Universe to Our Mind”). She speaks of a universe that instead of being manifested from a big physical explosion, it was a spark of consciousness that birth our universe instead. This concept goes more so with what I’ve come to understand about our physical universe, it also is aligned more with quantum physics. Physics and quantum physics alike tell us that everything is made of energy. Vibrations, waves and energy are what everything which dwells in the physical is really made of. But quantum physics states that a conscious individual needs to be present for anything physical or otherwise the physical can’t exist. It says that we as conscious beings are the creators of this whole universe. One could look a little deeper in this theory by realizing that everything that we experience truly couldn’t be experienced if we didn’t have the mental capacity to do so. If this were not the case then a blind person would be able to see and a deaf person would be able to hear. We need these functions to work within us to experience them physically. With this realization gained we can now see that we truly are what makes the physical world physical. Now, the universe and this earth were around way before human beings, it was around before life itself was around so with this being known (and proven) by scientist then how could a universe exist if there was no one around to perceive it? That answer would lie in the theory which Paola Zizzi came up with, the answer would lie in the “Big Wow Theory”.

Einstein made a discovery about energy. In his discovery he stated that energy does have mass, as in energy does have weight and substance to it. If this is the case then that means that energy and mass are made of the same things. They are the same stuff and they need to be perceived in order to be. But if there was a time which no life existed and the universe did then how could there have been a universe at all during that time? If we are looking at quantum physics then a universe without conscious beings just couldn’t be, unless consciousness did exist before any “beings” did. This consciousness which I am implying which existed before beings is the ultimate collective consciousness. This is what I like to call the universal field which was what everything that is in existence came out of. This field is energy and this field is also consciousness. This conscious field is the same consciousness that we all have within us. We are all part of this universal consciousness; this consciousness is the original consciousness in existence. According to the big wow theory it was an expansion of consciousness that created the universe. To me this theory is the same as the big bang because all the big bang was, was an explosive of energy and this energy is what consciousness is made of. We are all connected to this ultimate consciousness; it is the realization that our consciousness is One with this ultimate field of consciousness that is the beginning of enlightenment.

There is a lot more which could be spoken on within this subject and there will be room for that in my Namasteday book that I am working on and also, if you want to do research on this fascinating subject it is easy to look into. The point of it all is that existence came to be because of consciousness (according to the big wow theory) and within us lives this same consciousness. It also connects us all thus making it quiet apparent that we literally are all One.
