Thoughts, Wills and Values in Materialist and Spiritual Realms

A thought always perpetuates and oscillates within the mind of people, how the situation develops and culminates. The passage of life progresses on predetermined path yet the last leg of the journey which conspicuously and candidly reflects the synopsis of the journey. A sentimental attachment that embodied and leaves an imprint on the mind which reminds him continually of past and present events. A ray of hope becomes the source of satisfaction if situations converge into happiness and peace of mind. Otherwise, it leaves trails of agony and pain.

These memories of the past and its repercussions within the existence itself either be melancholy or cheerful if the story revolves around near and dear persons. It establishes a fact that people's expectations and hopes do not always translate into success and satisfaction. Alternatively, it relegates into a shame and agony thus causes immense pain. Exceptions are not rules, yet we have witnessed the outcome, where the undesirable events progressively turned into happy events and vice-versa.

It generally gives immense pleasure when someone commences the journey on a preconceived idea. Otherwise, he or she acts and reacts on their impulses about the past and present events. However, the transformation of thoughts which streamline to guide the masses will prove beneficial both subjectively and objectively. What conspires and transpires at this crucial juncture is a matter of interest and great concern. There is a silver lining in the dark clouds when people dwell upon their impulses and make inroads into their consciousness. As they progress on a predetermined path, they expect support from like-minded people.

The thoughts that ignites the inner feelings in the unconscious state travel into a different state of mind. It progresses through sub-conscious and finally emerges in conscious state. These values, which are the manifestation of a character outlines an image in the frame of a mind which subsequently gives birth to 'wills and values.' Either the picture gets distorted or shapes up and becomes a focal point of attraction. These deviations are very effective and reflect on a person's mood and behavior. However, these behavioral patterns affect directly and contextually on the subject.

The story quite often reveals realities, although it starts on a fictional note. The reality generally revolves around his or her own home, yet it touches the heart and mind of many families. The end result is the core concept of families where materialistic attachments become their goal to dwell upon. At the outset, it appears advantageous and satisfactory, but it has its own miseries beautifully camouflaged and becomes deceptive.

People did not observe or notice the signs until its deeply rooted effects show its unconquerable might. Thus, the perception rules the reality and leaves the recipients lure in a state of uncertainty. It is an established fact that perception is a reality, but not the whole truth. We as human beings must follow the righteous path to achieve a desired goal. It is necessary to understand that this materialistic world is a passage through which we have to reach our destination. This passage is not a piece of cake, it has many hurdles and detours. We must sensibly and judiciously explore the right path and should also become the beacon of light to others. This is the humility and the source of spiritual attainment of body and soul.

It is appropriate to pen down a stanza from Longfellow's "Psalm of life", and it goes like this.

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

The Law Of Attraction Secret

Many people try to use the Law of Attraction to build a life that is truly worthy of them. They become frustrated at their lack of progress simply because they have gotten the order of manifestation wrong. Don’t fall into the same trap. Learn that you must first Be what you want, then Do what you is necessary to achieve it, so that you can Have your desire.

One of the biggest problems people find when they try to use the Law of Attraction for the first time is resistance from the outside world. It seems that no matter what they do the world pushes against them. It appears that the harder they strive for their desires the more the world pushes back. They then fall into the trap of blaming the world for their woes or even blaming God. This is a disastrous mindset to have if you wish to successfully and consciously employ the Law of Attraction to your advantage.

Mahatma Ghandi, the great Indian leader who peacefully freed his country from British rule, told his followers, “become the change you want to see in the world.” These words are just as true today as they were when this wise man walked the planet. In order to have what you want you must be willing to do what is necessary to achieve it and this can only be achieved when you become the very thing you want!

Let me explain this in a little more detail.

The Law of Attraction can bring you anything and everything you want. In fact, anything you can hold in mind can be yours if you follow the rules of this Universal Law.

Trying to change other people or change the world is the wrong approach to achieving your dreams. You must change yourself. By holding in mind the things you want and believing that it is truly possible for you to have them you will immediately begin to attract them. However, if you wish to change the world or other people you are holding in mind the very things you do not want. You are affirming to yourself that things are not OK the way they are and that the people and environment around you is a certain way ‘ the way you don’t want it to be. The Law of Attraction immediately kicks in and you begin to attract more of those things.

By allowing the world and other people to be fine the way they are you will begin to embrace the moment and unleash your true power to create. You cannot change the world and you cannot change others but you can change yourself. This is where your true power lies. When you change yourself internally the world around you begins to change as you start to attract people, circumstances, situations and physical objects that reflect your changed beliefs, attitude, thoughts and feelings.

This is why it is important to hold on to an attitude of gratitude for the things you already have. You can even be grateful for where you are in life right now, no matter how bad it is, because this is the launching platform for your new improved life. Start from where you are. Wherever you are in life it is the right place for you right now. Just be satisfied to begin from where you are and you will soon get to where you want to go.

Once you have identified those things in life you wish to have, begin to think of them often. Imagine that you are already in possession of them. This is you becoming at one with your desire. Once you can hold your desire in mind and see, feel and accept that you are in possession of it you have become your future vision. This is Being your desire. Look at children they are excellent at this. It is a natural state of mind and not as hard to achieve as you may imagine. Just allow yourself to do it. Have fun and play with your internal vision. Enjoy it!

Be flexible enough to allow the Universe to deliver these things to you as it sees fit. However, some action is required! The Bible tells us that, “faith without works is dead”, James 2:14-26. Be prepared to take some steps towards your goal. No matter how small or insignificant these steps are take at least some action everyday that will bring you closer to your desires.

You will soon find that as you take even small steps towards your desires and stay true to your inner vision the Universe will rush to meet you. Coincidences will occur and you will find opportunities are presented to you. As long as you are generating positive emotions around your internal vision the action needed by you will be pleasure and feel natural.

So remember, Be what you desire, Then Do what you have to in order to bring you closer to those desires and then you will Have everything you want!https://populararticles.co/the-law-of-attraction-secret/

One of The Most Eye Opening Speeches | WILL SMITH - Manage your Mind

DANDAPANI : How To Control Your Mind (USE THIS to Brainwash Yourself)

Moral Courage

Courage, what is it? Everyone wants it, but nobody seems to know for sure what the word means. To me, a definition of courage without a spiritual basis is useless. My guru was certainly the most courageous person I have ever known. He dedicated his entire life to his ideology and proved that he was ready to sacrifice his physical existence at any moment for that ideology. From my observations he seemed to be without fear. Furthermore, his writings provided insight into the very meaning of the word courage that was astounding. It seemed he considered fear to be a fundamental block to spiritual progress and warned seekers against “worshipping” their fate out of fear. “A man must be bold. He must boldly face all troubles, all reactions to past actions!” is but one small example of his take on the importance of moral courage.

Normally, we think of bravery as something involving confrontations with other people or at least some emergency that pops up suddenly and separates the “men from the boys”, but my guru used the concept in reference to facing day to day events large and small, in stark contrast to being subjugated by them. Why would we worship fate? For the same reason that primitive people worshipped volcanoes; fear.

I remember an old song with the line: “As we lick the boots of death out of fear….” Ultimately what do we fear? Death, pain and related unpleasantries, disease, poverty… So, I suppose the courageous are more willing to face these things than most. Are the courageous free from fear? Or are they just willing to undergo fear for the sake of some greater ideal? And what ideal might that be which could inspire them to face the ultimate loss, physical death? Something more substantial than our physical existence perhaps.

So, is risking one’s life for something proof of a belief in God? Not necessarily. During the depression folks were committing suicide because they lost their fortunes. They were Intentionally losing their lives, because they felt life was too painful without money. So people will probably risk their lives for the sake of money and a variety of other things which they value more than their own physical existence: money, romantic partners, friends, family. Not only that but we often hear of folks killing themselves not over loss, but out of aversion to something in their lives, or something soon to come: disfiguration, incapacity of some sort, public humiliation, painful disease. So, there are apparently lots of things that people fear more than death; lot’s of stuff folks don’t want to do, or have done to them to the point they will face almost certain death.

So, suffice it to say that courage is tough to nail down. It’s got to be something strong enough to help us to face things even worse than death!

Myself, I try to live by certain ideals. I believe there is a God, a benevolent entity that created this universe we live in, and one who maintains contact with his creation in a way that has profound importance to us. A way that invites us to participate in a practical process whereby we achieve personal joy and fulfillment on the one hand and the ability to provide great benefit to our fellows on the other hand. OK, so that is what I do. I am involved in this relationship with God project, and that largely dictates my daily activities.

Most of those activities are very pleasant, but if it were all that easy, we would be bumping into enlightened beings at every corner, and that is hardly the case in my neighborhood anyway. So, many of these activities (let’s call them ‘yoga’ in the larger sense of the word) require discipline… AND I would go so far as to say many of them require what I would call courage. So maybe we are talking about some sort of stuff that is variably referred to as discipline, will power, hutzpah, guts, courage etc etc. Where does discipline end and courage begin? Probably that is a moot point; just different amounts of the same stuff, though I suppose few are going to salute us and exclaim “that took guts” when we get out of bed and brush our teeth in the morning.

So, perhaps a working definition of courage might be action performed against resistance of some sort, and we might add the particular that some risk is present.

Now the “moral” part; maybe this will separate us from the suicides and folks facing danger to save their financial empires. This leaves us with facing danger for the sake of an ideology (some sort of higher belief system).

At this point, I would like to descend from the theoretical to the mundane quite suddenly. I’ve noticed in my life lately the presence of two distinct forces, both trying to get me to behave in a certain predictable pattern. Let’s call them the the “low road” and the “high road”. I’ve already mentioned that I try to live by a certain set of ideals. That would be the “high road”. The low road is an amalgam of crude but quite normal tendencies: hunger, lust, greed, pride, and these two roads are often if not always in conflict with one another. Both forces have a life of their own with rewards and punishments at their disposal, and treading either road therefore requires some sort of courage in order to make progress.

Let’s take a look at the “low road” for a moment. Maybe it’s not really all that “low”; let’s just call it the “normal life”, “unexamined life” or something like that. You get up in the morning, you eat, you make money, you reproduce your species, you fill up your free time with entertainment. As long as no-one interferes with these activities, life goes on comfortably, but if someone gets in the way, what happens then? Probably you want to annihilate him, no? In any case, a conflict occurs and you have to choose between fighting and walking away from the conflict. Probably neither of these two options is very inviting.

OK, now let’s look at the “high road.” How does it differ? There is an interesting Zen saying: “Before Zen, chopping wood and carrying water. After Zen, chopping wood and carrying water.” So, you still get up, you eat, you go to work, you get married, you fill up your free time, but now you do it for the sake of your ideology. Not as a means of accumulating stuff, but as a means of achieving a spiritual goal, getting enlightened.

OK, cool, but what happens now when someone tries to interfere? Now things get interesting. If you have spent most of your life in “low road” modality, your gut is going to tell you to waste the guy, but now there is this “high road” voice beckoning and so you stop and think. Do you just let the guy take your stuff now that you are all spiritual and everything? Maybe he even wants to kill you.

I spent some time in India over the years, and I noticed one peculiar thing: there are no Buddhists: lots of Hindus, lots of Muslims, lots of Sikhs, but no Buddhists. Now how can that be? Buddha was born in India and spent his entire life there. What happened to all the Buddhists? They were exterminated by various invading armies over the centuries. In some cases, they just lined up in an orderly fashion while they were beheaded one by one. Is that moral courage? Not if you think that Buddhism is good for the world.

OK, facing danger is courage, right? But what if a man is drunk? What if a guy gets blind drunk and starts a fight? Is that courage? No, of course not. What about drugs? No, that isn’t courage either, is it? Then what about anger? What if a man is in a blind rage and punches someone. Is that courage? I don’t think so. I’m not striking an idealistic pose here. This is science. I just don’t think it is of any value for us to consider an angry man courageous. The rage might serve to intimidate others, but it isn’t courage in my book. It’s no different from any other drug.

There is a well-known scripture in Hinduism called the Bhagavad Gita. It is particularly appropriate to a discussion on courage, because the entire book consists of a conversation between a warrior and God immediately before an enormous battle. A battle which actually took place about 3500 years ago in India. The conversation is initiated by the warrior, Arjuna, because he has decided that fighting this battle is not the right thing to do, and the rest of the book/conversation is about courage, ideology, the nature of God and the universe; stuff like that. Arjuna is without fear, without anger, and considers the obvious moral issue of warfare and after taking God’s counsel finally decides he should and must fight. He survives and guides the human civilization of that era on to a new and brighter era.

Now my life seems very small in comparison, but it is all I have to work with, and I reckon I might as well take it seriously anyway. Despite it’s size, it bares a striking resemblance to the life of Arjuna however, in that I have lost my taste for fighting over the table scraps of this worldly existence in favor of the pursuit of more spiritual pleasures if I may be so bold as to say that. I find myself wanting to walk away from “battles” that I used to routinely wage out of anger and the fear of embarrassment. I get some sort of slap in the face challenge, yet figure I really don’t need the contested item, and prepare to walk away from the conflict. For better or worse, it just doesn’t work like that. I get this feeling like I’m supposed to take some sort of action for the good of the equilibrium of the cosmos, but in that moment, I have a hard time figuring out where the heck I am going to come up with the strength to fight “the good fight” as we used to say in Aikido in my Japan days. I’ve gotta say though, that some magic often happens in these moments. It doesn’t come easily, but it comes and brings with it a new found peace and strength. Dare I call it courage?

Peace and Love to you all.

Redirecting Mind Chatter to the Mental Spam Box

houghts are so often with us but, like a letter in the mail, we do not have to receive them: they do not belong to us.

It can be hard to detach ourselves from these results of the mental process, particularly those which create a negative emotional reaction as so many thoughts do. It feels so personal as the what-ifs and perhapses run through the mind like an out-of-control child, absorbing the attention and triggering feelings of fear, stress and anxiety.

It is interesting that thoughts that are from the Higher Mind are quite different - not random or chaotic but reasoned, clear and helpful, and often decisive. They are an inner knowing, the certainty we have occasionally when we wake up about what to do or where to go. We could call them messages from Spirit.

Higher Mind thoughts are letters we are pleased to receive. Lower Mind thoughts are junk mail, communication you have not asked for and do not want: if you can't stop it coming through your mental door, then when it arrives you observe it for what it is and dispose of it calmly without getting attached to it.

I find it helps, if I get caught up in some mental spam, to take a few deep breaths when I am able to see what is occurring, to break the thought pattern and bring myself back to the present and myself, in the knowledge that the thought is not who I am. It is one of the hardest parts of being human to do this and after years of trying I do not always succeed. I will persevere, however, for I know it is worth it.

Nature provides us with the perfect example of how to do this. While birds and animals like to have structure and routine in their lives, largely driven by the rhythms and pulses of the Planet and beyond, they have the capacity nonetheless to change what no longer serves them effortlessly and move on.

If a nest of fledglings is predated, the parents will, season permitting, create a new brood; if the local climate becomes colder or hotter, species affected will move north or south; if the lion king in a pride dies, another is found to replace him. There is no sentiment in the world of nature, rather there is pragmatism and intuition based on the immediate need in order to survive and enjoy life. It is not cold-blooded, for there is much caring and tenderness and a shared sense of community responsibility based on the present moment.

Living as I do surrounded by wildlife, I am blessed to have many opportunities to observe how nature works, and to learn constantly from it. I see that a deer, say, has a wonderful capacity to accept, adapt, and let go. It carries no burdens, is (unless ill or under threat) physically and emotionally relaxed, and is fully connected with its environment. Apart from the need to subsist and beget new life it has no cares.

As I reflect on animals' capacity to let go and just be, I see how often I and perhaps you are not. Sometimes I find my back is tense, shoulders are raised, my mind is chattering and I am on auto-pilot, somewhere else than in my present. More and more I try and pause periodically in my day and check in to see where the tensions are and where my mind has gone, to try and bring myself into a constant state of "let go" at every level of my being. Just like the birds, the more I do this and am able just to be, the greater my sense of oneness with all that is above, all that is below, and all that is around me.

The more I do this, the more I watch my nature teachers, the more I realise, with gratitude, how much I have to learn - and that is fine.

The Power of a Made Up Mind - Thoughts to Make You Think

The ability to make up the mind and stick to the things that have been decided is indeed a very powerful quality to possess. It was found that the ability to make a quick decision and stick to it was discovered by Napoleon Hill in a 20 year research of 500 self-made millionaires. It was found that making quick decisions and sticking to the decision was one of the things that allowed a person to find success in life. People tend to follow a leader who has a made up mind. People who keep changing their mind tend not to achieve much success. In the bible it says that a person who is double minded is unstable, this is a firm principle that shows that it is important to make decisions and stick to them.

The ability to make a clear definite decision is a quality that allow stability. In any business that is to prosper the ability to have clear decisions made has got to be key in allowing success in that business. People who tend to achieve success tend to have a clear picture of what they want and what they want to achieve.

To look at this another way, imagine two different people who decide that they want a house. The first person goes to an architect and says that he wants a house. The architect says what type of house do you want? The person replies I do not know. The architect ask how many rooms do you want? The person replies many. With these types of answers the architect would not be in a position to produce a design. But let us look at the other person, this other person tells the architect that he wants a 5 bedroom house, 2 floors, and a double stairway. He also wants each room to have a built-in bathroom and toilet. He wants two kitchens one upstairs and one down stairs.

He wants two living rooms at the front of the house and a large garden at the back. With these instructions the architect would now be in a position to produce a drawing, because the person is very specific. So we can see that it is important to be very clear about what you want. When a person has a clear picture of what they want, and can specify their exact needs, then those instructions can be passed to someone to produce their requirements. Do you know clearly what you want, and do you have a clear plan to achieve it?
