Be Kind to Yourself...

---

As I meditate and write, contemplate and illustrate, I come across some of the most interesting articles, blogs, web-sites and books related to kindness of self. At this particular time I am reading: Be Kind to Yourself, and being kind to myself by traveling to Ontario, Canada to visit family and friends. My trip has provided me with a stop-over in Vancouver where I've checked-into a luxury hotel to enjoy a massage and a relaxing dinner. I'm being kind to myself, living (not existing) in two of the five modalities that create joy [love and play]; as you may recall from an earlier post: What Makes Life Worth Living... there are five modalities that you should consider spending time in each day, or in a series of days, so that you're not wasting time simply existing (living in fear) in a world of stress and dis-ease. The five modalities, in order of priority, are: create, love, give, play and learn.

I do find it interesting that so many people yield to themselves; that they work hard, support a family, help their friends, but rarely are they kind to themselves. And this doesn't mean being selfish; on the contrary, it's more of a Spirit true-self conscious observation of giving, and loving, yourself.

Be Kind to Yourself...

With so much responsibility attached to survival, especially in Northern countries, there isn't always the time or money luxury to be good to yourself. There are, however, a few things you can do to take advantage of living, and giving to yourself:

• Take a long, hot bath
• Take a walk in the woods
• Talk to a friend on the phone for an hour
• Take a nap
• Eat chocolate without having to share
• Read a trashy novel
• Watch a funny movie alone, and laugh outloud
• Go to Walmart and greet the Greeter
• Post a blog entry
• Play with a dog (cat's don't count; they're too kind to themselves)
• Eat a toasted bagel with loads of butter
• Make hors d'oeuvers and toast yourself with a glass of wine
• Sleep late on a work day
• Eat a kid's meal at McDonalds 

Have a joyous day...

It's a Wonderful Life...

---

Although life itself is wonderful, living it can be a challenge; especially if your character misguides you, as mine has done, so many times.

In the past few weeks I've met some ordinary people with some very extraordinary challenges; mostly emotional baggage. When I listen to their stories I can't help but wonder how they ever managed to check their baggage and move forward.

Dianetics...

While visiting Cape Town, South Africa I picked up a book from a used-book store; a book titled: Dianetics, by L. Ron Hubbard.

All of us, at one time or another, has experienced situations that through our own actions [choice] or the actions of others have left emotional scars [baggage] embedded in our sub-conscious mind. I don't think anyone is immune to this. Left un-checked, however, it can lead to depression and anxiety. If you think your life isn't so wonderful you may desire to read this book.

If Life Had an Undo Button...

"We choose to create our own reality whether we're conscious or not..."

Make a List of Choices You've Made...

One of the conscious observation techniques, which works well for me, is to make a list of choices you've made in the past and assess its impact on your life. This is where the undo button theory is good; any decision you've made in the past—that you'd like to undo—will hit the list. I then divide the list into egoic false-self decisions and Spirit true-self decisions. To make it easier to identify which decision belongs to which self you can start with patterns; was this particular decision a repeat of a past decision (a.k.a., unconscious character trait - spontaneous - anger - jealously - fear - et cetera).

Are Not all Choices a Part of Learning?

Yes; knowledge (what you learn by study) + experience (what you do physically and emotionally) = wisdom. You cannot obtain wisdom without knowledge and experience; and this is only true if you retire old negative emotions to wisdom in the process so you can move forward; making known the unknown, as it were. Pressing the go button to experience new creations.

...have a joyous day; create, love, give, play and learn...

Your Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle..

Editorial Reviews...

Product Description...

Ignorance and fear have driven humanity to pass on the lies handed down to us by our parents, teachers, religious leaders, and politicians. In an effort to control the behavior of society they have not told you of your awesome power. They have not told you of the freedom that is yours - your birthright.

We have tried to work within the confines of morality and darkness for thousands of thousands of years - we have not received what we were promised for the struggle, hardship, and acquiescence.

What makes intelligent people ignore the obvious? What we have been doing for thousands of years has not brought us what we desire or what we were promised as a species.

"What makes life worth living? Creating, Loving, Giving, Playing and Learning."       
                                                                                               --E.J. Lister

Why is it that some people are poor while others are rich - is it luck, intelligence or just being in the right place at the right time? What is it that successful people know that you do not? Why is it that some people attract illness while others never catch so much as a sniffle? What is the secret behind a sudden recovery from a terminal illness? Why do some people have accidents and others not?

Why is it that some people attract the right people to them for mates while you struggle just to be noticed? Why is it that successful people have all kinds of friends and acquaintances around them that support them in abundance?

These questions have been asked for centuries, yet for all the history, insight, and enlightenment that humanity has - it always turns to the same source for answers. Too few have clued-in - it always brings us back to the same place of lack, accidents, war, illness, and fear. Hasn't anyone figured out the common denominator, what is wrong in the equation that is giving us the wrong answers?

Life was never meant to be a struggle, we were not put on this earth, we came by desire, and we are not here to learn anything. What is our real purpose - what transcends the obvious misery and struggle that we demonstrate in our lives everyday? Do you really believe that it is a God or Devil that is causing these things? Except for technical advances, as a species we really have not developed spiritually very much, and for good reason.

In my new book, Your Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle, I go all the way and push all the buttons. There are no secrets - only for those who choose not to see.



Your body is an illusion, and you are a process not a thing. Your Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle, takes you there - to the outer limits and beyond. Enlightenment does not mean you do not have to participate in life. It reveals purpose, and life is no longer a struggle. If you could amass great abundance at will - would you not be interested in the concept? If you didn't have to be sick or have accidents wouldn't you be just a little curious? If you could at least understand why your life is the way it is - would it not help you to know?

If enlightenment comes from awareness, then wouldn't a short glimpse outside of the box help you make better decisions? If there are secrets - who is keeping them from you and why?

Roy's thoughts are not new, they are simply said in a different way that most people can understand. Simple and eloquent in form that opens one's mind to new possibilities. No one comes away from this book without being enlightened.

"You are not a victim of circumstances, you are creating them."

Fearlessness and Faith...

---

Imagine a time when you weren't afraid; can you? Now think of a time when you were afraid. It's not surprising that we feel uncomfortable, alone, anxious or even down-right scared sometimes; we're only human. This primordial emotion, however, was meant to protect us; to help us survive. It wasn't meant to be a state of mind.

The opposite of fear is faith—a conscious and courageous sense of self that blocks all thoughts of failure and self-preservation. Is it any wonder then that those who simply exist on this planet live in fear; the unconscious ones who navigate life with only their egoic false-self voice-in-the-head to guide them. Add in the stems of fear, such as guilt, resentment, jealousy, anger and regret and you've got a recipe for pain and suffering, which ultimately lead to unhealthy habits and addictions as one tries to escape the pain in search of pleasure.

If you're trapped in this state-of-mind—whether addicted or not—you may find that awakening to your Spirit true-self through conscious observation will introduce faith in yourself, which not only gives you courage, it allows you to co-create a life of joyous experiences.

For the alcoholic who drinks to relieve his pain there is only one certain cure—faith in a higher-power. No amount of medical (physical or mental) assistance alone can help him overcome his fear, or pain; this phenomenon has been proven time-and-again through the Alcoholics Anonymous fellowship program.

I know first-hand how difficult it is to have faith; to consciously observe my self; to remember that I am only human, that I am not alone in this mind and body. How ever you acknowledge your higher-power (God/Consciousness) and your Spirit true-self is up to you. And how ever you choose to listen to its guidance is also up to you. I've found that conscious observation works well for me; even though I don't completely understand how it works. And maybe that's what faith is all about; a simple belief and awareness of my Spirit true-self, and its fearlessness.

I can't tell you how not to be afraid; but I can tell you that by not having faith—trying to rid pain with pleasure—will only result in more fear and pain as you cycle in-and-out of happy/unhappy states, injecting more adrenalin into your veins than you were designed to handle, draining you of much  needed energy for living a joyous life. It's a paradox, really. Just try accepting this idea for a time and see if you can't feel the joy of living without fear; without seeking pleasure... just be, for awhile...

Some ideas you can try to just be:

• Meditate
• Yoga
• Contemplate
• Walk in the woods
• Hold someones hand
• Consciously observe life as it unfolds around you
• Breath
• Simplify your life
• Bathe

Have a joyous day...

Kymatica...

---

Yesterday I watched the documentary: Kymatica; the sequel to the Estoeric Agenda. As part of the joy of living (learning) you may desire to watch these (I recommend watching Kymatica at least).

As part of my search for my authentic Spirit true-self, and the desire to create meaningful, loving experiences, and the ability to make conscious choices, I've read, watched, written and contemplated a number of things, which seem to help with discovery; however, there are times when I still don't seem to understand. There are times when I struggle with purpose and meaning; times when I just don't get it. Perhaps it is an unsolvable mystery. As I read The Philosophy Book I learn that throughout history man has contemplated: Why are we here? What is our purpose? Does God exist? What is consciousness? As far back as 624 BCE Thales of Miletus, the first known Greek philosopher, seeks rational answers to questions about the world we live in. So if human beings (intellectual, smart men and women) have been questioning and seeking answers for this long, concluding only mathematical and universal laws, does this mean those of us who search, who read this blog, who seek to discover, are amongst those intellectual, smart men and women? Does it mean we're not living a normal life, that which does not question; rather, those human beings who simply exist by survival, accepting the ups-and-downs and never questioning? Are we in fact driving ourselves crazy?

Acceptance...

Perhaps it's time to accept that life as we know it is a mystery and the paradox is not worth trying to figure out; because, if you really think about it, life has just 3 rules:

1. Paradox: life is a paradox; don't waste time trying to figure it out...
2. Change: know that nothing stays the same...
3. Humor: keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself; it is a strength beyond all measure... 

Rather than stressing and searching you may find that by simply living, that is to say, living a simple life, the frequencies you transmit as your thoughts will be free of static, allowing the consciousness (receivers) in every particle of the universe to clearly understand your message so as to co-create your reality in a joyous and meaningful way. What I am saying is, by consciously observing, practicing what we know is true, having patience and faith, expecting life to unfold in a peaceful, harmonious manner, that we may stop seeking and start living.

Have a conscious and joyous day...

When Life Falls Apart...

---

Although there are numerous experiences and circumstances in which we perceive our life as falling apart, there are only two reasons why. You may be experiencing a health issue; a relationship breakdown; a financial issue; a death in the family; a sudden relocation; or a business failure, and either the circumstances are manageable, or they're not; which takes us back to the two reasons why they happened in the first place. The first is related to your ego; your egoic false-self personality made unconscious decisions in the pursuit of happiness, as in wanting and having; or second, your Spirit true-self consciously created the experience to evolve, or to grow.

I've learned to tell the difference between experiences and circumstances that were created as a result of my unconscious egoic false-self decisions and choices, and the experiences and circumstances that were created as a result of my conscious Spirit true-self desire to expand (I'll elaborate more on this in coming posts...)

The trick, I believe, is to be aware of who is creating. I am experiencing a 'life falling apart' now as my relationship with someone has ended, along with much of the financial investment I shared with that person. At first I was angry (egoic false-self reaction); then I was depressed. Eventually, however, I traced the decisions of the past back to my egoic false-self personality, and discovered which experiences my Mind-made 'Me' egoic false-self personality created, and which experiences my Spirit true-self 'I' created. And even though I am faced with the clean-up phase I know it will be so much better to retire those emotions and experiences to wisdom and move forward with the knowledge of conscious and unconscious decisions.

The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart: from the book

1. Cry your heart out
   
2. Face your defaults - habitual behaviours (egoic false-self personality traits)
3. Do something different
4. Let go
5. Remember who you've always been
6. Persist
7. Integrate your loss
8. Live simply
9. Go where the love is
10. Live in the light of spirit

If Only Everything in Life Could be Covered in Butter...

From the movie, Paper Man. If you're looking for an uplifting movie you may want to watch this one. I've watched it many times, and each time it made me laugh, and made me cry.

How we look at things, that is to say, when we're consciously observing, knowing our Spirit true-self and egoic false-self personalities we begin to see that life is really an illusion that we either enjoy or feel bad about. Some people choose to look at life consciously through their Spirit true-self, while others choose to unconsciously look at life through their egoic false-self, judging, feeling victimized, feeling resentful, et cetera. I choose to look at life through my conscious Spirit true-self, realizing that everything has a purpose, and it's all good... everything is covered in butter... and what a buttery-world it is.



Have a joyous day, and remember: everything has a purpose...

Know Thy Other Self...

---

Once you have discovered your Spirit true-self through conscious observation you may desire to discover who you are other than thy own self. Understanding your Astrological and egoic false-self personality can significantly improve your chances of living with joy.

The Unconscious You... (egoic false-self)

Through self-awareness it is possible to determine the characteristics of your other self that exists on survival, instinct and fear, so that God Consciousness and your Spirit true-self can co-create the reality you desire to experience (a.k.a. living, versus existing) without the negative barriers of fear, change, or attachment. To do this it will be necessary to get out your journal, or a piece of paper, and a pen and answer these questions with honesty:

1. What do I resent? Someone or something from the past?
2. What do I look like? I would change ____________________ if I could?
3. I was born in ________________________ on ___________________.
4. I drink alcohol to alter my character; strengthen my confidence? Yes or No
5. I cycle in-and-out of happy times? Yes or No
6. I often tell myself that I'm not good enough? Smart enough? Write something about this.
7. I feel guilty for something I did in the past? Yes or No
8. I feel anxious about the future? Why?
9. I am in debt, for which I have little means of repaying? Yes or No
10. I am working at something I enjoy? If not, why not?
11. I work to survive? Yes or No
12. I know my natural born gift(s)? What are they?
13. I am talented, and these are my talents? List them.
14. I want? List them, i.e., money, someone to love me, power, control, sex, etc.
15. I dream about having or being something. List your dreams, remembering that these are not visions, desires, or intentions.
16. I need to be entertained? i.e., television, video games, movies, parties, etc.
17. I do not like to be alone? Yes or No (Why?)
18. I feel unloved? Yes or No
19. I don't know my purpose in life? I don't know why I'm here? Yes or No
20. I don't feel a connection with God Consciousness? I am a practicing ___________________? Spiritual, Agnostic, Atheist, Religious, etc.

Continue to journal, answering these 20 questions as best you can. Read previous posts if you're unsure of the meaning of some questions. On my next post I'll explain more about how to know your  other self and help you find that connection with God Consciousness so you can find peace and joy in your life through the freedom of fear (thy other self - eogic false-self).

"I don't tell God Consciousness how big my problems are; I tell my problems how big my God Consciousness is..."

Have a joyous day... and remember: Living with Joy means you're consciously observing and living in one of these five modalities at anytime during the next 24 hours: Creating, Loving, Giving, Playing, Learning...

The Scientific Revolution and the Church...

The Scientific Revolution: circa Late 16th Century - 18th Century - brought upon a fundamental change in the ways Europeans viewed the natural world. Discoveries, which revealed a universe full of potential (consciousness + energy) opened up a whole new concept of God that the church, at the time, was not in favor of.

We are fortunate now to have had people like Copernicus, Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton (to name a few) who were persistent and driven (passion, intention, desire) to make known the unknown, at the risk of being banished by the church.

I was not raised in an environment where the church influenced the way I viewed life; nor was I religious in any way. In fact, my father was an atheist. Fortunately for me, however, my mother was an Angel. She inspired me through her positive outlook on life; her Mind over Matter attitude; and her boundless energy; she still inspires me today, although it's often through long-distant conversations (thank God for science and technology).

Now that I know what makes life worth living: creating, loving, giving, playing and learning, I find myself closer to a God/Source that I know exists, but can't completely comprehend. And perhaps I (we) never truly will; the human Mind cannot comprehend what it does not perceive as real through analysis of its senses. A Mind that is occupied by an egoic false-self personality will challenge any idea of consciousness, God, or hope. Call it what you like: devil, demon, Antichrist; we all know the temptation for pleasure, wanting and having, power, sex, money, etc. is always there in the forefront of our unconscious Mind. So what if we didn't have this egoic false-self personality, Mind parasite? I wonder, during times of silent contemplation if Jesus of Nazareth was without this challenge? How else can you explain His ability to produce miracles. And what, if any, miracles are you capable of producing? Well, I guess that depends on how conscious you are; how quiet that egoic false-self voice-in-the-head is while you're co-creating your own reality. Think about this:

The Secret Language of Your Body...

---

I recently discovered that the hip and back pain I was experiencing over the past couple of months was due to a build-up of negative energy in my Mind and Body; it was all due to unconscious egoic false-self negative thoughts that I was not even aware of, but that I know now was due to the circumstances I was experiencing; circumstances that did not match the vibrational frequency of my Spirit true-self desires.

When the negative energy finally reached it's threshold (a.k.a. The Pain Body) it altered my behavior, releasing emotions of fear, which in turn made me angry. That period of anger lasted no more than an hour, however, the damage cannot be undone.

Strangely, in the aftermath of that experience, I found joy (the absence of negative energy and its accomplice - fear). The physical and emotional pain is gone; so too is the constant tiredness I had been experiencing. In the hours that followed I began to ask myself, "Who created that? What was the purpose?". And it made me think about how confession can release the demon (a.k.a. egoic false-self voice-in-the-head) in an otherwise perfectly normal human being.

The Secret Language of Your Body...

I completely missed what my body was trying to tell me; I had not been practicing conscious observation. Now although it did deliver me from pain—providing me with the freedom of living with joy—I know it could have been managed better had I listened to what my body was telling me, and been more conscious of my thoughts.

What my Spirit true-self was trying to tell me was to create new experiences; to remove myself from the environment, relationship, habits (drinking, eating, sleeping, exercising) and their associated circumstances. When I failed to do so—failing to be conscious—my Spirit true-self allowed the egoic false-self decision to unfold, knowing that I would grow as a result. But as you can see, it wasn't necessary for it to be that way. Had I been paying attention to the Secret Language of My Body and been practicing conscious observation I could have made the decision to release that negative energy in a more productive manner; or at least not added fuel to the fire by drinking.

So, if you find that you're experiencing physical pain, tiredness, depression or anxiety, why not learn from my mistake and practice conscious observation to determine if your thoughts are negative (more so than positive) and whether your circumstances (relationship, job, living conditions, etc.) are, or are not, allowing you to live with joy, or whether they're actually creating within you the potential to explode with uncontrolled fearful emotions.

My desire to share with you my discoveries of living with joy continue to unfold with enthusiasm and creative experiences. I am focused on attracting an agent to assist me with publication and distribution of my book, followed by speaking engagements that will allow me to inspire others to learn from my experiences...

Please share this blog with whomever you feel would enjoy learning more about consciousness + energy and the creation of a joyous life...

Everything has a purpose...

---

I've written a great deal lately on the topic of creating your own reality, while at the same time challenging you to be conscious of who is creating, i.e., is it your egoic false-self unconsciously creating, or your Spirit true-self consciously creating. There have been times when I say to myself, "I would never create that!", as I'm sure you've said to yourself as well, on more than one occasion. But then I ask myself, "Who is creating, and what is the purpose of this experience?", especially if it's something as tragic as a breakup of an otherwise healthy relationship, brought on by the egoic false-self unconscious negative-thinking, enhanced by fearful emotions.

Eckhart Tolle writes and speaks in great detail about 'The Pain Body' and how its negative-seeking appetite can turn a normal human being into a monster when, as he says, it comes out to feed. And although the normal human being never meant to act in such a violent manner, for which there is no excuse, really (except that we must consider the deep-rooted, unconscious egoic false-self and its negative self-talk and emotions of fear, guilt, resentment and jealousy) the choice was made, for which the actions result in consequences.


I have had moments of unconscious actions and reactions, both during times of sobriety and times of abuse. So is there a purpose? Well, perhaps awareness is the one good thing that comes out of the bad; breaking addictive behaviour and the cycle of happy/unhappy, becoming conscious of who you are really, and living a life of joy (meaning no attachment, no egoic  false-self wanting/having, no pain).

Unfortunately, remaining conscious, especially during periods of influence, can be very difficult indeed. Again, I've been through it, and I continue to grow with each experience as I work on myself to become a Conscious Observer. Fortunately, however, there are programs like AA that help people to recover and live a more joyous life.

So, my dear friends, never give up or give in; everything has a purpose...

Be good to yourself, wherever you are, and do the best you can to live a joyous life: Create, Love, Give, Play and Learn.
