Impotence of the mind


Is not something we think about too much

Time though to understand how it damages you

If you feel disgust at the behaviour of grotesque greedy leaders, businessmen and others

Then over time this creates a feeling of powerlessness

A powerlessness which in turn creates depression

A depression that we are nothing

That we can do nothing

That our lives are worth nothing

Nothing we do makes any difference

That we are obliged to watch and hear about endless scandal and wrong behaviour for the rest of our lives

This might be true if you choose to let it be this way

However this ignores nature, which even the most negative of us would acknowledge has power over man and not the other way around as some try to suggest

Just one flood, earthquake, pandemic or hurricane and it is clear who is boss

Nature does not just act globally, nature also acts upon us individually through the operations of karma

Every second of every day we create and experience the actions of karma

Karma is the basic rule of the universe and all are governed by karma


So if you want to feel impotent at the vile actions of leaders, fine it's your choice
.
However understand they will pay.

Maybe it does not appear so

Probably we will never see it

But pay they will

So do not waste your time worrying or feeling impotent

Get on with your own life lead it in a moral and ethical way

Grow, learn, and move on understanding that your future lives are a function of how you behave now

The choices you make determine how you experience karma

So if you choose to live a productive, generous and healthy life
.
If you do this then something remarkable occurs

You can begin to experience for yourself the positive power of nature or karma

Sure we will know more pain in our lives because this is how we learn

How we pay off our negative karma

We will also begin to experience the positive effects of karma

These are what initially we think to be nice coincidences
.
And when they keep occurring we begin to realize that they are not just coincidences something more must be at work

They are the actions of positive karma

Karma rewarding us if you will

Slowly we begin to realise that whatever our role in life it does not matter

It does not matter being rich or poor, clever or not

What matters is being the best we can every day

Whatever our job sweeping leaves, boring office work it does not matter

What matters is that we understand that we are here to do the best we can in whatever comes our way

So no life is small only our understanding is small

Nature gives us all that we need in order to grow in any given second of our lives

Yes what we need to grow in any given second of our lives

Not what you might want but what you need

So back to impotence

Impotence is just a sign of us not understanding what it is all about

Stop wasting your energy on nothing

Focus on being the best you can

Be generous with your love and life

Live life to the max every day in every way

Sunday

Was literally that at one time the Sun day

A day to pay homage and respect to the sun

Giver of so much on our little planet

Without the sun we are no more

Yet as with so many things we hardly notice let alone pay respect

Today Sunday is the day of kicking back, doing what you want

Just feeling relaxed or maybe doing some sport, watching some maybe

Spending time with the family

So many of the old meanings of things have disappeared

So much forgotten

Then along comes a flood or tsunami and we are reminded why people did not live there or do that

Myths are regarded as just that stories of impossible times gone by

Beware you do not personally fall into this trap

All myths are based on some long ago knowledge

Usually on some truth

Ponder next time a myth comes your way

What did it really mean?

Not all our ancestors were fools

Any more than the majority of humans today are so smart

Notice how nature works in cycles

Ever wondered where we are on those cycles?

Ponder once in a while you might find some interesting things about our history
.
About where we are today
.
It makes sense to think for .
.
Also it is intriguing to wonder why something came to be the way it is
.
Monday?
.
It was Moon day

Is it so hard


To tell the truth?

Modern PR people would say no as they deal in lies all day long and so feel that the truth is something they create to fit any given situation

In fact they would not know truth if it came and sat on their heads

So leaving aside modern cynicism and casual corruption of the truth

Truth at our level of consciousness is relative

Absolute truth is something we cannot approach at our level of consciousness

Tough but there it is

So relative truth is still pretty useful

Why?

Because amongst other things it allows us to function more comfortably

If you are always wondering about the truth of things you place stress on yourself

This over time will lead to health breakdown or other serious problems

To live with the truth of things requires that you know the truth about yourself otherwise you have no platform to work from

Knowing the truth about yourself needs an understanding of right and wrong

Morals and ethics

Simply stated the Christian ten commandments or the Buddhist eight precepts are fine and easy to understand

Both are taken from the teachings of the perennial or ancient wisdom

The perennial wisdom being the basis of all major religions and teachings

Once these are your chosen base point then truth is easier to find in any given situation

When you chose to live in truth it takes away one source of stress in life

A major one at that

Over the course of a lifetime truth will aid your journey through life

Not so easy as it requires courage and discipline

So yes maybe it is so hard, but the alternative is harder

Believe us it's the truth!

Spot the nasty guys



They look like everyone else

They often seem nice

They feign interest in you when they want something

They turn on you when in trouble

They have no humor

Little or no tolerance

And a long long memory for any real or preceived injustice

Hold grudges

When you know people fitting this profile beware

Generally speaking they will only use you

They have no capacity for warmth or relationship

Only using others

Stay out of their way they will certainlyl harm you if not now then later

Leave nasty guys alone walk round them, do not engage

And where you must engage do so openly with absolute clarity that they are not your friends

Can never be and therefore are to be treated with extreme caution at all times

Any financial or other involving business to be conducted through legal channels

Nasty guys are just that nasty

Be warned


They move amongst us usually pretending to be nice guys.

What better place to hide?

Pre-programmed brain



Just try this.

It is from an orthopedic surgeon ............

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to............

See if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's preprogrammed in your brain!


1. WITHOUT anyone watching you, they will think you are weird

and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer,

lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.


2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your Right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!!


And there's nothing you can do about it!

Buzzy


Felt buzzy lately?

Do you even go to places where you might?

Places with plenty of life and action

Not necessarily nightclubs or raves although if you are of the age where these appeal then fine enjoy

If you are not so keen then places where there are young people and action

People who still believe that life is fun

Is positive and exciting
.
Being around such people is interesting as they exude a total preoccupation with themselves their peers and what they are doing
.
Which is probably why they feel good because they are not thinking about or interested in what other age groups might think of them
.
Nor how others might judge them
.
Or what they might feel or say
.
Maybe a lesson for everyone else
.
Get on with your own life
.
Think less about what others might think or say
.
Maybe you can find some buzziness for yourself
.
Try being free of what others might think or say
.
Just put some zest into your own life
.
Live it like it is fun even try experiencing it as fun

Adjustment

Is required for us to live happily in these overloaded times

Overloaded in the sense that there is os much of everything we use or come into contact with

And yet when we go shopping it is often difficult to find what we want

A surfeit and yet a drought at the same time

Look at your own life plenty of some things and not enough of others

Creating a better balance is one of the skills of life

How to organise things better?
.
Start by noticing how many things are surplus to requirements
.
Cut out all those things that do not bring you anything helpful
.
This means if you have not worn those clothes for some time then give them away
.
If you have not eaten those things in months then do not buy them or store them
.
If you did not contact them in months then let them be

In other words time to refine and adjust your life

With so many things demanding our attention it is easy to build up clutter in our lives

Clutter that we do not notice is draining our energy and taking our time

De-clutter your life and you have time to do those things you truly want to do

Once you refine your life down to the critical few then you can add things that bring pleasure

And if you do not know what brings pleasure then start experimenting

Do something new every month.

Virtual sex

Is for many people an escape

Another nicer world

Their own private world

No one says no

No one judges

No one controls
.
And the attraction of avatar sex is what?

Watching your created dolls simulating sex?

Maybe this is it a vicarious release.

More likely to avoid real relationships where the other party talks back

Has an opinion

Expects reasonable treatment
.
Wants to relate to you in real time, in the real world
.
So virtual sex might be your choice but think on this

Isolation in a pseudo world only removes you further

Further from learning about yourself

From learning to master and control your emotions
.
From handling pain and disappointment

Isolation is not the best way to achieve this.

Pretending

So many people pretend

All their lives they have been pretending

For so long in fact that they actually believe the pretence, the lies

Lies that have built up over the years

Lies of omission

Lies of exaggeration

OK for many years even decades the lies might sustain or support you

One day however the lies will out

Of that you can be certain

Why?

Because karma cannot be avoided

Worse lies and deceit create more negative karma

So yes you can have your time in illusion

And then one day you pay twice

Once for the lies

And once for all the harm and damage you have caused

Lies are a common strategy

Honesty the more uncommon strategy today

Be uncommon live in honesty

Let life unfold as it will not as you think it ought

Stop trying to control everything


Stop manipulating

Let go of pretence

Keeping up a pretence is debilitating

It takes your energy

Over a lifetime this is not smart

Pretending is not a clever strategy
.
Being open to life is

Because you can feel self respect for yourself

Can like yourself

Can like life

Being open to life and experience is so much better than thinking you know best how things ought to be

Stop pretending
