Here’s what I know. When I “make fun” of other people with a sarcasm that criticizes, it is only done with an effort to build up myself; my ego self. This can be somewhat of a personal alarm, it tells me where my identification is. If I was more connected with truth, my actions . . . →Read the Rest: Personal Alarm; “Making Fun” of Others

Did you know that in some cultures men disregard the woman’s breasts when deciding their level of attractiveness; some see it as completely irrelevant, but see the back of a woman’s neck as the determining factor.

 The internal or verbal statement…”if only,” implies a need or desire for control. It says that life as it presents itself now, is not sufficient or is lacking. If only I won the lottery, things would be better. If only I could change, my life would be more fulfilling. If only I didn’t have . . . →Read the Rest: “If Only.” A desire for Control

Forgiving self may be our greatest challenge. However it is necessary if we wish to reduce the resistance we send out into the world. Why would one forgive self over forgiving another?

With a grin… Is it wrong that I see myself as a beautiful person? When I reflect on the “I Am” that I am, I get really excited about who this person is. It isn’t about having a high self esteem, or being arrogant, it’s being able to see the inherent beauty within my . . . →Read the Rest: Beautiful I Am

It is not the duty of the ego to judge, it is only his compulsion. Don’t you find it interesting, the nature of judgment; ultimately convincing the ego of it’s own presence. This is how one furthers his void hole, by building a display of significance through breaking down another. When in reality, this . . . →Read the Rest: Genuinely Free

When life seems to be failing all around you, and the pain of now blinds all direction, see it with a conscious mind.

What we consider the downfall of others, is simply their perfect life learning opportunity. To judge it as anything else is an escape from our own opportunities for growth.

I find it funny that we get so butt-hurt when the smallest amounts of rejection seemingly come our way. Whether it’s when someone doesn’t call us back, or a comment is made that bruises our ego. Tell me why this idea of possessiveness gives us the right to control the actions and thoughts of . . . →Read the Rest: Butt Hurt – 0075

The reason you feel so ungrounded internally, is because you’ve attached your identity to perception, which is only an idea or thought; it is not real. You have allowed the foundation of who you are, to be based on an illusion, a mental construct.
