Put yourself around positive people

Saint Paul said, " all that light touches becomes light.." for example if you bring a candle into a dark room what happens,? the whole room lights up just as the candle enters. Be that candle. Put yourself around others candles(obviously i mean other positive people. Just like the fire n light become hotter and brighter. So do you by being a log that is part of a large fire. If you stay around positive people all the time you will never fail.. I would bet a million on it. Be a light for others. others who dont know as much as you. Others who will lighten up and burn brighter do too you..

Wish Me luck

I have a shoot with American apparel on sat. put me in your prayers

spirit n ego (atheist) 2 seperate parts of all us

Spiritual perspective vs. atheist
Our perspective about life; life in general, and the lives of others, are based on spiritual laws. These Laws are laws of nature and laws of physics. Starting with laws based on the law Balance and the law of plenty and ending with about ten more of these laws are proved to be true, through love and compassion, that we all can be happy we all can have our dreams come true. The atheist perspective is different.
If there are 5 billion people on earth for example, and some think from a spiritual perspective, then there would be some that look at it from an atheist perspective. The atheist perspective would be scared (ego based). They would want to hoard everything for them and their friends. They would be all Ego and afraid of annihilation, annihilation of ego, and or of the self. They would want to live better then the other 5 billion. Because they have no higher power, comes little sense of others, they are solely based on taking care of themselves. I could get deeper into why not having any sense of something bigger than your self creates misery, evil and greed. With a false power they see themselves as higher power than others.
Now to the positive and uplifting insight! As spiritual beings we are linked to the Universe. We are linking ourselves deeper and deeper into the universe by using meditation. By looking at the world, and seeing infinite possibilities we can manifest anything we want. By first looking at the work involved in what you want. Next one must decide if you want to do it. If it seems overwhelming and difficult then the universe is telling you that isn’t what you really want. The universe (which I call God) knows what it is that will truly make you happy. We see things and we feel like we should be doing it, you probably should be doing it The only catch is you can always have it(whatever you want) if it benefits the universe and others. Nice houses, nice cars, fancy vacations, as long as you make the money and intend on making the world a better place, you can have it. Listen to what it is you want. It will be like neon lights when you n the universe agree.

Mindfulness....#2

The feeling of mindfulness cannot be described in words or written down in words either...The Term "Natural State" refers to the goal of every Buddhist.. Natural state can neither be described in words.. It is a state of calm bliss but gentle discomfort.. In the book Science of Happiness, it is described as the same feeling of reaching a goal, finishing a project, and/or after a great workout.. With all the Drama in life it is impossible to achieve natural state, we have many egoic identifications. Witch our mind identifies itself with.. For instance any "thinking" as Pema Chodran calls it, is just your ego trying to identify yourself as something..Without this cloud of thought your mind is in Natural state of being.. This is why we must practice meditation... It causes the neuro-plasticity to engage in the more natural states of mind...My newest student taught me that We are all always students.

Fear and Love The only two emotions

Men especially dont express emotions well.. We vent every emotion through anger or guilt.. When I say we I mean some of us..
All negative emotions start with fear-under fear you can find all insecurities.. As I have described previously on the blog Fear is just the Ego and the Egos sense of being beaten..To move from Fear to love you must start with forgiveness..In terms to support the rest of my blog you must change the neurons firing through pathways that have been engrained with fear.. With Neuron Plasticity(changing the pathways through meditation)We can actually change the neurons and have them fire to the love and compassionate sides of the brain..Or what I like to call the spirit.By changing the perspective from egoic to sriritual.. The power to do this is a miracle to me..Even something as simple as a young teen training herself not to be scared of dogs after having been attacked at a young age..Another case in change of perspective(neuron plasticity) is anger(fear) turning into forgiveness for no apparent reason..Fingers hurt More Tommorow
