Don't react, impact. Enlightenment is not merely a passive or receptive experience. It should be assertive. The Absolute is the ultimate Alpha. Resolute single-minded focus is required to be your best. When you aim for your best, you are closing in on the Ultimate best, the Absolute. The ego is not your enemy. People have egos because subconsciousl…

The Spirituality of Defiance Potentiate your potential. Be maximal. Defiance is a path. Be resolute. The Truth is defiant. "Potentiate your potential" - this means that your potential is greater than you can conceive of. No one can fully know your potential, including you. Any idea that you or anyone has about you will always be less than the True …

The world is about the outside in. Masters are about the inside out In physical, reality is never as good as the fantasy. In spirituality, the fantasy is never as good as the Reality. The important thing that people don't realize is that there is no external Authority. There is only an internal Authority that you are either aware of or that you are…

External desire is not to be confused with biological impulses such as hunger, wanting to be comfortable physically (not feeling too hot or too cold), wanting to sit down to rest your tired or sore feet, feelings of thirst, etc. External desire also is not to be confused with having personal preferences in terms of what food you want to eat or what…

The Absolute: The Ultimate Individual The Absolute is a unique singularity that is the Best in all things. I call it the Ultimate individual. When we discover ourselves more deeply, we recognize our connection with the Absolute, which makes us even more of an individual. It is the best potential for all things and yet it is so unique that it makes …

First, what does it mean to be last? It means to put the Absolute Ultimate first. By doing this, you put the Best in everything and everyone first, and yourself last. Ironically, I consider this Selfish behavior. Everyone is naturally selfish. People may deny it since nobody wants to be seen as "selfish", but we all put who we identify with, first.…

Liberation Defined I guess it all depends on how you define what it is to be liberated. Some on the extreme might even say that not identifying with self is liberating because then you are no longer responsible for what you do. Others might say meaninglessness is liberating because then you don't need to search for meaning anymore. I say liberation…

It is a false perception of self that can be a failure, not Self itself. People who demean the concept of self just fail to understand it. The Ultimate individual is the Absolute, which is a singularity. Although it is One, it pervades all things. The same is true in the microcosm of being human. Through your individuality, you also can have the ex…

No mind can be a master. Mastery is experiencing the Oneness of the Ultimate all the time. It is a lifestyle. I don't want to act like I'm evading the question, but to even understand Mastery is to understand it is not about being a master over others, but in seeing the greatness in everyone. It is a humble experience. Humility is not measured by h…

The Definition of Reality One of the biggest deceptions ever devised was to convince people that life can end. To define life by biological sensual parameters is to underestimate reality. Only material existance, the most superficial version of life, can have the illusion of death. Death itself was created as a release from sensual prison. So that …

Nicotine withdrawal has such wonderful deep meaning. It certainly is a conflicted state of being, whereby divisions occur within yourself. It is almost like a "civil war" in a sense. The biological cells of your body crave nicotine since they are addicted and they covet this as a source of power and pleasure. They try to send all the signals they c…

"The 3 Levels of Samadhi The Yoga Sutras describe the way to regain Higher Consciousness. By Roger Gabriel The Yoga Sutras describe the way to regain Higher Consciousness. As you follow the Eight Limbs of Yoga, you can reach the freedom and enlightenment of Samadhi, the realization of your spiritual practices. In his illuminating text, The Yoga Sut…

I disagree that those words are applicable today. The chain of succession was broken. In such a situation, definitely the Absolute can intervene directly. The fact is that in any succession, there is always at least one who was the first. Whoever this first was, was not in a line of succession. In fact, the Absolute can do anything it wants and ins…

The problem with those who think everything is about love being the solution (love is very important), is that they are only seeing a fraction of what is going on. Love does not bring equanimity or discernment. The concept of order itself is a deception. Chaos/order dichotomy is a false dichotomy invented as a deception. There is only one true dich…

The next version of psychotherapy is applied philosophy. By changing how you think and your concept of reality, it is possible to cure psychosis. However, for this step to occur, a certain baseline of independence is required. Mass psychosis is a form of mass ideological possession, which in turn can just be a code word for an external entity/entit…

The arrogance of science is to assume that consciousness is biological. Actually, consciousness is beyond biology and physicality. All of biology is like the tip of the iceberg. Biology in a sense is like puppetry, animated by the spirits within. It's not the biochemical process that creates the reaction, but consciousness itself that initiates the…

Maybe it is necessary to explain what a yogi/mystic/master is. I guess in movie terms it is the equivalent of a Jedi master but instead of saber skills and just gravity manipulation, it is much more than that. In fact the Star Wars idea of Force is kind of superficial and unscientific. If you could have telekinetic powers over objects, you should b…

Love and Truth are the two primordial forces of the universe. Love is born from Truth. Truth is experienced via the Crown and love is experienced in the heart. Love is everywhere in living creatures but Truth is only experienced by more intelligent species. I can only confirm that humans can experience it but I don't know about if aliens can. I say…

The most perfect philosophy allows you to see through the eyes of everyone and yet still retain your individuality undisturbed. It is big enough for everyone to be the best of who they are. It advocates for a Supreme experience because it wants nothing less for everyone. Just as nature is not one color but many beautiful colors in near infinite sha…

There is some controversy as to what is an "awakening" or an "enlightenment". Everyone has their own opinions, based on either personal experience, books and/or groupthink ideology. The funny thing about groups is that they tend to mob together in unified cynicism toward any "radical" idea outside of established group consensus. Ironically, science…

Not everything "natural" is good for you. Natural poisons exist. This is the purpose of discernment. To discern is to recognize the difference between healthy and unhealthy. Just as not all plants are healthy for you, so also not all ideologies are healthy for you. This includes spiritual ideologies. The group doesn't come first, before the individ…

This kernel of truth opens the door to limitless possibilities of Excellence. Science agrees in truths such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics. The same principles can be applied to philosophy. In other words, science recognizes certain laws or truths as more accurate than other concepts. For example, someone might say that the earth is flat…

No mind can own the Truth, just as no fish can own the sea. Minds can only swim in It. Where Buddhists frequently seem to strive for Nothingness or Emptiness, Yogic tradition is more about Atma and Brahma which means there is a Supreme conscious entity that pervades all and is the source of all True Knowledge. However, many Buddhists try to aspire …

To be a true Master is about mastering your mind and defanging the primal animalistic savagery of your negative emotions. Certainly, you can have Awakening experiences while still in the process of mastering and coming into Yourself fully. However, these temporary experiences and flashes of inspiration are no substitute for the continuous and never…

There is no part of You that you need to get rid of. It is deluded to think so. The only thing to dispose of is your delusion. It sounds like a bold and audacious thing to say, this concept that there is nothing wrong with You. But the key here is that we are talking about you with a capital "Y" the problem isn't that you are amazing, the problem i…

Many people are, instead of fixing their delusions, deciding to spiritually bypass them. They do this by not recognizing their delusions, but instead declaring that it is all ego and that it is only by getting rid of this mysterious thing called "ego", that they can be happy and at one with the Universe. Although their goal is admirable, through th…

God wants you to be wealthy. God has made you wealthy on the inside; society has made you believe that you are not. This widespread delusion of scarcity is one of the principle reasons for desire and attachment. This is a big lie that is designed to keep you chained down. Belief in a limited supply is what keeps you running on your hamster wheel, c…

Humility is not about putting down your ego, but about seeing the best in others. Humility has nothing to do with worship. Worship means you are elevating someone or something above yourself. You can never become someone by worshipping that person. If David never recognized his own kingliness, he could never have become King. In the same way, you c…

Choices themselves are a limitation. Meditation is proof of free will. If we are merely the byproduct of our environment, there would be no reason to do it. It is the anti-choice. The moment we choose anything external, we have limited ourselves to that choice, however momentary it may be. Choices trade our limitlessness with a limitation. When you…

"Realists" are pessimists in disguise. What is real? If you take drugs to get high, you found a crutch, not the Crux. Science tels us that everything you experience is a result of neurons and synapses in your brain firing off to one other. In other words, your life experience is entirely composed of electric signals. If you can master these signals…

God may give you strength, if you ask for it. And even if you don't. All of creation exists by its Grace. The balance between retaining your individuality while also merging with the Infinite is the only "balance" to be concerned with. The difference between a wise man and a foolish man, is that the foolish man is like a shallow stream and loudly p…

Without darkness, beauty would not exist. Without darkness, we would not be able to distinguish the Sun. Darkness is just a canvas for light to paint on. The most concentrated source of light from the highes perspective is Utimate Truth. Symbiosis with Truth is the only independence. Otherwise, you will be affected by your environment. When we love…

Many find it hard to believe that a pure motive exists or that it is possible to achieve such a thing. "What is this strange concept of a 'pure motive'?" they might ask. Many people are unable to comprehend that there can be a motive that is not self-serving. The fact is, that most people's motives are based on their own personal desires and what t…

God is more than equal with everything, it is greater than everything. It has no equal , and exceeds the sum total of everything. Enlightenment is not determined by your actions or your inactions but by your deepest inward experience. Deeper than your gender is your unlimited nature. To identify with gender alone is to limit yourself. The illusion …

Namaste .. this means the Divinity in me honors the Divinity in you. This is the true definition of humility It is humble to think God lives within you. This is the superhero inside of you and your Ultimate superpower. When trying to start a fire in the heart of humanity, the kindling can be damp and moldy. It takes persistence to get the fire goin…
