Curses, Attachments, Dark Side, The Evil Eye

Curses, Attachments, Dark Side, The Evil Eye: Desire to receive for the self alone

It’s nearly six months that I haven’t written anything about this topic. On a certain day, sometime in July, I think, the Dark Side got eliminated.

For a few months life was sweet (for me) but then the Dark Side started to rebuild itself.

The Dark Side is made of the “Desire to receive for the self alone,” and I want to relate to the three “moves” that grows the Dark Side, and possibly sends you over to the Dark Side.

The first one is curses.

Curses are not 4-letter words, they are a wish expressed in words, uttered or not, that direct bodily harm to another.Some cultures have more affinity to Dark Side than others. The culture I was born into, Hungarian, has a huge affinity to the Dark Side. People habitually wish each other dead, limbs lost, fortunes lost, etc. Other cultures, like American, are really tame in comparison. I used to be a typical Hungarian in this regard, I used the words dead, death, kill many times a day. I took after my mother: she was like that.

Can you get to heaven while living on earth? Heaven on Earth

Heaven and Hell… Heaven on Earth… Can you get to heaven while living on earth?

Let me start with a story from my favorite novel, The Journeys of Socrates:

…a proud and hot-tempered young samurai who routinely cut down any peasant who gave the least offense. In those days, samurai were a law unto themselves, and such behavior was accepted according to custom. Continue reading “Can you get to heaven while living on earth? Heaven on Earth”

How do you squash Life Force so you are never really well?

Well Being, Aliveness, Energy, Inspiration, Life Force: How do you squash them so you are never really well?

About 50% of my site’s new visitors come in search of a miracle way to get well.

Another 30% come to find a way to love and the good feelings it gives you. Mostly they were disappointed in Christie Marie Sheldon, the ‘love-or- above’ lady I write about.

The rest come to learn about muscletesting, vibration, and other stuff… Continue reading “How do you squash Life Force so you are never really well?”

Passivity… the worst plague in the history of humans

Today’s human’s biggest issue is passivity.

A normal 98% human lives their life like the vagrants in the famous Samuel Beckett’s nihilist play: Samuel Beckett: Waiting For Godot.

If you have never seen it: it’s an empty stage signifying an abandoned filthy littered lot in the middle of nowhere.

Our vagrants talk about nothing for the entire length of the play, while waiting for a guy named Godot.

In the end we find out that Godot never goes that way. So why are they waiting for him there? Because they can wait there… everywhere else they would not be welcome.

Beckett and his anti-heroes are exactly describing the current state of humanity: do what you can where you can, talk about nothing, and wait for something. Never cause anything.

On the surface this is not a bad life, but if you look how it looks and how it feels, it is the underlying cause of depression, melancholy, lifelessness. Walking dead… zombie…

Soul Correction: Sharing The Flame, The Light

Soul Correction: Sharing the light. (23)

A single candle, though its light is weak, banishes darkness. But it needs to be lit.

When you hide your light under a bushel basket so no one can see it: you are doing no one a service, including yourself.

Your job is to share your light, and trust that your single light will light up the life of all you touch.

what is love? how do you go about getting it? what is it buying you?

What is love?

When we are babies: love is attention. We can’t do anything for ourselves, and someone paying attention to us equals love to us. Our comfort, our survival depends on it.

We each “earned” the attention in different ways, and then settled on one or two ways that worked the best.

We cried for the bottle in a whiny way, suggesting to our caretaker that we are dying. Pleading, begging, modulating our cry until we got a response.

We cried for the bottle with anger, anguish, or threat. We cried to get a clean diaper. We cried to be picked up.

We also manipulated our caretakers by smiles, by reaching out to them, grabbing their fingers, maybe laugh, little manipulative signs that made them feel good, liked, maybe even loved.

Just like pets learn to push your buttons: it is all self-serving, to make us get attention and food, shelter, and petting.

Soul Correction: Diamond in The Rough

Diamond in the rough

Soul correction is the soul’s purpose. No matter what activity you choose for your life, you can use it to be perfect for your soul’s correction.

This particular soul’s purpose is to find the diamond inside the rock: it’s there.

When life gives you rocks, they contain the diamonds. You did get rocks from life, and it is consistent with this soul correction.

So far you have been behaving like a victim, but the truth is that your soul really trusts you to turn it around.

You can do it, and this program is here to guide you through it.

On the other hand you may be the one who is the Diamond in the Rough… maybe you have the diamond inside you and you have been thinking that what you see is all you have.

But like with any diamond, the value in the removing the parts that are not diamond, and then the creating the lots of surfaces: that is what makes a diamond a brilliant cut diamond… that people pay all that much for… because they reflect the light in so many beautiful ways.

Which is true for you? My guess that it’s the second… So get going, get chiseling, get yourself out of the prison.

DAILY PRACTICE

DAILY PRACTICE: Push hard to get better, become smarter, grow your devotion to the truth, fuel your commitment to beauty, refine your emotional intelligence, hone your dreams, negotiate with your shadow, cure your ignorance, shed your pettiness, heighten your drive to look for the best in people, and soften your heart — even as you always accept yourself for exactly who you are — with all of your so-called imperfections. ~~ Rob Brezsny

The Heaven on Earth or HOE

If you were a garden, we could be pretty sure that it would be full of weeds… and all your good qualities, your good aspirations would be threatened by the weeds that want to take over your garden.

Negativity, bad habits, bad thoughts, character flaws… all threaten to drown out what’s good about you.

Activators produce permanent change once they are established… What’s in the way? What’s the difficulty?

Activators produce permanent change once they are established… What’s in the way?

In several tests, comparing comprehension and the ability to recall and use the information after reading a book, people performed much better when they read the book with the PhotoReading method than when they read it “normally.” The retention, the length of time that the knowledge is available was also multiple of the “normal” reading length.

The tests compare the same person, (as opposed to groups) so the base knowledge, the vocabulary, and interests, (which are fundamentally influencing the results,) are the same in the comparison. Person A, normal reading, vs. person A PhotoReading, got it? If you compared my results with yours, the comparison would not be valid, because we have a different level of knowledge and vocabulary, and interests.

So the comparison is comparing comprehension between two states:

you have a chance to read every word with your conscious mind, look up words that you don’t know, re-read paragraphs that you don’t understand completely, ponder, etc. You can read, at the rate of about 30 pages an hour, and it will take as long as it takes.
in an altered state of mind, with eyes fuzzy and focused behind the pages so you cannot actually see what’s on the page, at a rate of 1 page a second… a normal book takes a few minutes to read this way.

Why would it be so? After all it doesn’t make sense, does it?
