Unshackle Your Mind: Part 1 of 2
Written by Jerry on January 4, 2010 – 5:56 am -Part 1 – This video is about how-to release your mind from the bonds of man-made external boundaries placed upon us by social and intellectual "programming". These boundaries cause human suffering and are the source of disharmony and violence in the world.
As we are ALL Spiritual Beings, we must Realize that we must take full responsibility for ourselves as individuals. We all need to reduce all external distractions and programmed conditioning, as well as, those who distract and create those programs. We must be careful of the media we let into our lives. We must organize our OWN MINDS. We do not need anyone else to do our thinking for us. We are Free, as we are born to Be, and we must acknowledge ourselves. We need to discover our OWN TRUTH.
Stay tuned for part 2 soon!
Never Stop Exlporing Life!

CAUSING THE BEST TO HAPPEN
Written by Jerry on December 16, 2009 – 2:03 am -
by Christian D Larson
A certain phase of modern optimism has fallen into the habit of saying that everything is for the best. Whatever comes or not, according to this idea, be it good or otherwise, the mind is consoled with the belief that it is all for the best. And although there is a pleasing side to this belief still the final result of it is not desirable. To live in the belief that anything is for the best is to get into the habit of becoming content with anything; and to become content with anything is to cease practically all efforts toward the attainment of the higher and the greater. Such an attitude will also cause the mind to admit everything that may enter its world, no matter how inferior it may be.
A great many people, however, think that if we live in the convictions that all is for the best, all things will work themselves out for the best, and there is some truth in this. But things will not work themselves out for the best unless we cause them to do their best; and before things will do their best we must do our best. But the doing of one’s best requires more than a mere statement that all is for the best. No person is doing his best unless he is giving his entire life to the very highest goal that he can possibly imagine. And no person can cause things to do their best unless his desire for the best is so immensely strong that all things are drawn into the irresistible life current of that desire. The mere passive belief about all being for the best is powerless in causing things to work for the best. And besides, to think that all is now for the best is to blind the mind so that it cannot see the better.
The rising mind sees greater things in the upper regions of the mental world, and must therefore realize that things as they are in the present are not the best, for they all can even now be made much better. The ideals of the present should be realized in the present; at least we should grow constantly in that realization; but the fact that we have failed to get what we want does not prove that it is best for us not to have it. It usually proves that we are incompetent, or that we have been negligent and indifferent, or that we have permitted ourselves to drift with the uncertainties of things. Had we lived more wisely in the past and taken advantage of the opportunities that the past presented, we should not have to wait now for opportunities to do now, what we think we should have the privilege to do. It is not for the best that any good thing should be deferred if we are ready to appreciate it in the present. It is not for the best that anyone who desires the greater should have to wait for oppor- tunities to attain the greater. If he has to wait, his own past negligence is usually to blame. How- ever, there must be no regrets. To weep over past failures is to waste those very energies that are required in the promotion of our present attainments. Read more »

Some of the Golden Sayings of Epictetus
Written by Jerry on August 25, 2009 – 1:16 am -
The reason why I lost my lamp was that the thief was superior to me in vigilance. He paid however this price for the lamp, that in exchange for it he consented to become a thief: in exchange for it, to become faithless.
You must know that it is no easy thing for a principle to become a man’s own, unless each day he maintain it and hear it maintained, as well as work it out in life.
The beginning of philosophy is to know the condition of one’s own mind. If a man recognises that this is in a weakly state, he will not then want to apply it to questions of the greatest moment. As it is, men who are not fit to swallow even a morsel, buy whole treatises and try to devour them. Accordingly they either vomit them up again, or suffer from indigestion, whence come gripings, fluxions, and fevers. Whereas they should have stopped to consider their capacity.
Wouldst thou have men speak good of thee? Speak good of them. And when thou hast learned to speak good of them, try to do good unto them, and thus thou wilt reap in return their speaking good of thee.
No labour, according to Diogenes, is good but that which aims at producing courage and strength of soul rather than of body.
A ship should not ride on a single anchor, nor life on a single hope.
No man is free who is not master of himself.
When you have decided that a thing ought to be done, and are doing it, never shun being seen doing it, even though the multitude should be likely to judge the matter amiss. For if you are not acting rightly, shun the act itself; if rightly, however, why fear misplaced censure?
As a mark is not set up in order to be missed, so neither is such a thing as natural evil produced in the World.
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means; and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
(From the Golden Sayings Of Epecttetus)

How to STOP Being a Person that NOTHING Seems to Work For
Written by Jerry on August 22, 2009 – 12:17 am -Guest article 
How to STOP Being a Person that NOTHING Seems to Work For -
by Bob Doyle
Do you ever wonder why great things happen to some people
but not to you?
Do you ever read about people who have tried this or that
product and had some incredible result, but when you try it,
you don’t get the same result?
Have you become a person who NOTHING seems to work for?
Maybe you’ve thought about trying the some new self-
improvement package that sounds great, , but you’re just so
tired of things not working for you.
Let’s take a look at how you’ve gotten where you are and why
these things might happen.
First, at some point, you tried something – either based on
a recommendation, a testimonial you read, or some other
reason. Basically, you tried it based on someone else’s
positive experience. However, when you tried it, you did not
get the same result so you made the assumption that it
didn’t work for you. But how true IS this? Often – VERY
often – things work differently for different people, and
it’s a mistake to judge your life by comparing it with
others. Perhaps you just needed more time. Maybe your
circumstances are completely different! Regardless, however,
you made up – you CREATED a Truth for yourself at that time,
that truth being "This didn’t work", although remember, that
truth is based only on your surface comparison with someone
else…and it really doesn’t have anything to do with you,
and what – in the cosmic scheme of things – is best for you.
Those results you read about for that other person are what
was right at that time for them, and that doesn’t
necessarily mean that NOW is the time for you and that it
will happen to you the same way that it happened for them!
From then on, every thing else you try is then compared to
that first experience, with the Truth in your mind being
"Well, it didn’t work that time…let’s see if THIS works".
So again you’re comparing…and not really trying anything
"purely" and on it’s own merit without preconceived notions
or judgements. You are already working against yourself! You
may not yet automatically expect failure, but you have it as
an option, and perhaps even a probability based on your
previous experiences.
The more things you try with this mindset, the more you
fortify this mindset – it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
that "Nothing works for me". Before you know it, that is who
you Become. The person you are about reaching your specific
goals or trying this or that product or technology is "It
works for others but never for me." Once you reach that
place, it will most certainly become true for you.
So what do you do? How do you break out of this pattern?
First, acknowledge how you got here…by comparing yourself
or your results with other people who are really on a
completely different path then you, although they may have
been after similar results. Then create a new idea for
yourself – give yourself permission to experience success on
your own terms, without judging what happens based on other
people or expectations set up by anyone other than yourself.
Once you believe that you deserve to succeed and that you
CAN succeed and that you WILL succeed, your life will
change. Whatever you try will work for you, because YOU
define what "working" is – not somebody else! You set your
own timetable, you are relaxed, and non-judgement. Your
infinite patience and lack of expectation based Externally,
will work with you in very powerful ways and you will regain
control over your destiny.

You’ve Been Lied To About Law of Attraction
Written by Jerry on August 14, 2009 – 12:32 am -The Big LOA Lie
You’ve been told it’s as easy as Ask, Believe and Receive.
Just look at the sky and ask for a million dollars and in just a few minutes you’ll get it. Does that sound like a load of crap? It is!
You see the Law of Attraction does really work. It is simple but, it’s not easy!
You’ve been told to Ask. Just what does that mean? Is it as simple as looking towards the sky and saying “Will you please give me a new BMW?” Not really.
Asking means that you create a very clear picture of what you want and then start creating energy around you to start the manifesting process. It also means that while you are waiting for the universe to deliver, you are grateful that your desire is on the way.
Then, you’re told to Believe. But what if you don’t? What if deep in your heart you don’t feel like you deserve to have what you really want in life?
And what could be easier than to Receive? They told you that if you just asked and believed that the money fairy would just drop the rent check in your hand, right? And if not it was because you screwed it up, right?
Well, you’ve been lied to! No they didn’t mean to lie, they are just regurgitating what they’ve heard everyone else saying. The fact still remains that it’s not working and you’ve been made to feel like a failure.
There is some truth to the Ask, Believe and Receive idea. In reality that is the complete recipe to attract all your desires but here’s what they left out…
Before you are ready to manifest your true desires, you must first master basic skills that will prepare you to properly Ask, Believe and Receive.
Just like you had to learn to walk before you could run and learn individual letters before you could read, you must build a solid foundation of basic skills before you can apply the Law of Attraction in your life.
You will hear some people who claim manifesting is a 3 part process. Some say it’s 5. And I’ve heard some that have 7 steps. It doesn’t really matter how many steps are in the system. What matters is that everything is covered in those steps.
I choose to follow the 3 step Ask, Believe and Receive model. However, you will hear me say more than once that most books forgot the taking action step. So what gives?
Well, I believe that taking inspired action falls under the step of Believing. If you are taking inspired action in the direction of your desire you are proving to your subconscious and the Universe that you really do believe.
Let’s use another example. You must be crystal clear about what you desire and only when you are clear will you be ready to ask. So having a clear vision falls under the Ask section.
You don’t need to understand the whole concept of the Law of Attraction right now. Just know that each component in the Ask, Believe and Receive model has several sub-components that they forgot to tell you about.
I’ll be telling you about them later.
Never Stop Exploring Life!
