Common bond

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:02:06 +0000

The common bond off existence is a certain understanding, relationship, that attracts Life. It takes the form of anything imaginable. Love is the obvious polar opposite of hate, both of which are as attractive as one another. We can argue that love is all the race has to rely on to experience perpetual happiness because when we love it feels so good. Nonetheless balance has it’s purpose and in the pursuit of balance we attract more than one thing. Equally when we facilitate love that balances hate or hate that balances love; we are holding space for something. A phenomenal opportunity such as the challenging reality before us is our calling to love one another. It is our fate if our race survives. In the human experience our most powerful tool for living Well is love. Speaking to the whole race; love may not always be good enough however, love is a practice because we desire. Lets desire to practice love in ourselves and with each other now.

Interpretation of: Meditate for Conscious Prosperity at the New York Stock Exchange

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 01:58:48 +0000

In a lot of ways this meditation is a metaphor for something people from all walks of life deal with everyday. Fear of letting go, detaching, from what isn’t serving our needs anymore is a state of being that we can all relate to. Acceptance is a moment of truth. Meditating for acceptance is bringing awareness to the reality of our circumstance, it is a practice of revealing real experience in the hearts and minds of people. In many ways our lives have been built around capitalism and we all play a part. If we alienate, single out, point a finger or make wrong we only serve to provoke more of the same practices by those who facilitate the old system; A direct threat to ones identity is the deepest fear in any of us. Let’s bring greater awareness, revelation through acceptance, to an existing way of being. Those who are struggling can feel the deepest connection of humanity. In one way or another we can all relate to feeling desperate, confused, angry and intolerant. When we feel the embrace of acceptance we naturally open up to new possibilities. This is one perspective on the path of less suffering and healthy living.

Pinch yourself

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:23:02 +0000

What we’re going through right now is our experience, our time. If we accept that the way we have been doing something is not working then we can create new space for progress. Implementing measures that seek to prevent a breakdown of the existing system is an attempt to control the inevitable. The opportunity is to accept that our system isn’t working, release and let the chips fall where they may. Our communities, our country, our race will survive; we wont be wiped off the face of the planet. We will renew, we will find a way. We can take a deep breath together and go about our business; show up for work, discover our passion, plant a vegetable garden, have a conversation about our experience, practice a healthy lifestyle. The greatest opportunities are disguised as insurmountable challenges. Throughout time, this is what the human race has lived for. Our experience is a song of rise and fall, our experience is the opportunity. Wherever you are, take a moment to contemplate what acceptance of our experience feels like. Take a moment to practice tolerance; opening to an understanding that we are doing the best we can in this moment. In the end it will be okay and if its not okay then its not the end. One love.

Symphony of consciousness.

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:58:28 +0000

Symphony of consciousness is to realize greater consciousness of our senses.

The practice begins by focusing our meditation on listening. Experience in the form of sound enters the ear and is attracted by the mind. The practice is now followed by harnessing awareness in smell through the nose which is rooted in the stomach. Now, we focus on touch, the sense that is our most human attribute. As we connect with vibrations outside of our body we can share a physical connection with our environment including other beings we connect with. With a sense of speach comes a great responsibility to honor your intention and own the responsibility of asserting a perspective. In this awareness is an equal importance of honoring the influence that we may or may not have on other beings. As we move farther from obvious reality we are delving deeper into a conscious state of being as we taste the nectar experience of thought and expression into our body. This form of meditation is surrendering to a commitment to passing through our most sacred system the entire consciousness of history. Our multi-dimentional sense is a spiritual consciousness of opening to the point of exposed heart channeling whereby we connect with that which is not found through any other sense and is outside of the physical environment. All sense is summoned to the heart and is shared through the heart. Throughout this practice we surrender to our Self while retaining the power of honoring our place in Life moment. This is our human experience, it is now and will always be.

Underlying thread

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:13:18 +0000

The Human Race’ common desire to suffer as a means to satisfy moments of survival is a popular default mechanism for existence. I intend to understand how the Human Race and Universe can identify a common relationship for sustainable balance. This underlying relationship is the bond of Enlightened Species.

Conscious choice

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:07:58 +0000

Choice is a human beings most powerful tool. Consciousness is a present state of being as it were. Consciousness doesn’t exist at any time other than the present. Consciousness is a moment; strung together with other moments that are our reality.
.
Choices are made based on information of what we already know (memory), what is staring at us (reality, present) and what we expect to happen (expectation). On the one hand the only thing that actually exists is reality whereas memory and expectation do not exist in reality. On the other hand when we draw on memory to make a choice we bring it back into existence for that moment and therefore it becomes a reality once again.
.
I have discovered that much of what we believe or already know to be, our memory, can be a source of suffering. Information is often impressed upon us rather than learned through a personal experience. If consciousness is what we know to be in the moment then elevated consciousness is to be keenly aware of what we know and what we don’t know in the moment.
.
One of the reasons there is much suffering today is because we tend to live in our memory rather than practicing awareness of the moment. Many times we are likely to make decisions about our life based on the past with very little openness to the present moment, which is actually where life happens.
.
Convenience is a vice of human existence. It is convenient and sometimes very useful to draw on memory however, this convenience does not encourage the practice it takes to stay aware and live the experience as if it were the only experience: “being present”.
.
When we realize the true power in making a conscious choice we realize that suffering is also a choice. Practicing present awareness is the first step to making a conscious choice. A conscious choice is a small step towards finding clarity, understanding and eliminating suffering.

In my role at City Life Wellness, I am committed to providing a space where this conversation lives. I trust this space will foster greater awareness in this subject so that individuals can create a choice to live healthier lives.

Real superficial fear

Sat, 28 May 2011 21:13:59 +0000

If you fear it, then you believe that it is possible. If you fear it because you don’t understand it, then learn about it. If you think about it, then it is possible.

Real superficial fear is never in the moment, it is always in the future. It’s reality hasn’t happened yet. It’s a possibility; in some cases a consequence – a possibility. Without consideration: superficial fear is but a dream, by choice.

If possibility is the sum of our imagination then herein the lies the space for what is possible.

If we can understand what our fear satisfies then we’re half way there.

I expect to survive

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:51:28 +0000

By design, expectation of our Self produces satisfaction through failure.

An unfulfilled expectation of what we want for our Self often produces a subtle and unnoticeable sense of failure. Some of our expectations will be met however, the slightest bit of failure in the sum of our many expectations can generate a fear to prompt survival instinct. Said another way, the fear founded in unfulfilled expectations is what stimulates our desire to satisfy need to survive. When we advance and change for marginal benefit we are compensating an unfulfilled expectation. As our lives ebb and flow we fail and grow. Without some habitual stimulus to survive the individual and the human race may become extinct.

Summary:

a) Every expectation is intentional

b) Expectation is a source for failure

c) Failure is a means to promote survival

Consider what we expect of our self right now. For example: I expect to eat today, I expect to have a job tomorrow, I expect to be faithful, I expect to get what I want, I expect to be successful, I expect to be happy, I expect to be healthy, I expect to be honest with myself, I expect to discover my passion, I expect to be responsible, I expect to have a spouse, I expect to make friends, I expect to love myself, I expect to make it on time, I expect to get good grades and so on. It is possible to design and maintain millions of expectations at any given moment.

courage is the governor of choice

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:51:26 +0000

Courage is a bedrock state of consciousness for our being and is the governor of choice. A foundation for courage in our Self is conceptualized on an evolved genetic skill set and begins to take shape in the space of conception through birth. In this early stage of development courage builds by overcoming one obstacle at a time with the support of nurture.

I want to need

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:05:59 +0000

The distinction between needs and wants is the difference between survival and its steward.

Satisfying need is essential for survival e.g. food, water, shelter and self worth. Self worth, a need we cannot live without, is a measurement of how well we fulfill individuneeds. Individuneeds are needs unique to an individual.

In other words self worth is a measurement for how well we distinguish our Self. When individuneeds are fulfilled we establish an identity relative to our peers thereby, reinforcing our competitive nature for scarce resources and procreation.

An unfulfilled need is the basis of instinctual fear and triggers a survival instinct. Survival instinct is the will power or intention to sustain life. If existence at the individual level hinged on will power or intention to compete for life then choosing an identity that works for us is a matter of life and death.

Individuneeds are also a primary source for distinction between individuals.

Want or desire does not necessarily relate to the bare necessities nonetheless, want is a derivative of need. What we want or desire from the outside world is a system for shaping identity. When we succeed in obtaining what we desire from the outside world we are in a sense gathering those elements which alter our identity for better or worse.

Need is a passive and distinguished existence upheld by one’s desire to nurture it’s existence.

Summary:

a) Self worth is a need we cannot live without

b) Fulfilled individuneeds establish identity

c) Identity reinforces an individual’s competitive nature

d) Want or desire is a system for shaping identity
