Ernest Hemingway: There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.

Darren R. Weissman: If we look at the mind as an iceberg, and the tip of the iceberg is what’s above the surface; that’s the conscious mind; that’s the mind of choice; that’s the action mind. What’s below the surface, and that’s most of the mind - right - that’s the subconscious mind; like a submarine you don’t know it’s there - but it’s there - unless it surfaces.

Aldous Huxley: The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.

Bertrand Russel: The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Mark Twain: Never argue with stupid people, because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Albert Einstein: Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

Aldous Huxley: Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Mark Mincolla: To be isolated in your own mind, not knowing to what extent you’re paralyzed, has a way of just isolating you within your own soul.

Jesus Christ: But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

Oscar Wilde: To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

You must realize the power of what if today was my last day, and before doing this give up the person (persona), who is an accruement of trying to make sense of everything which has ever happened to you and devising a framework which works you out to be a “good person” because this is a prerogative of conditioning. Soul is consciousness and how could consciousness, which is just awareness, be “perfect” in any sense? So, you loosely accept that any day could be your last, and then start to let go of anything which happened in the past that is holding you back, and effectively give up an egoic sense of control. You surrender to now, because even if it feels awful you can only heal from acceptance, not struggle. Besides, you never know when the plug could be pulled on consciousness. How would you change?

Accept that it was way too much for you to handle - whatever hurt you - and cultivate this mindset. Accept that you cannot just make it go away, and that it hurts. This is surrender. You are not the worst thing you ever did, nor mistake you made. Focus on what you can control. Flow with the love and the pain. You are not the hardware but the software. The hardware has taken control. You cannot think or feel to see properly. Do not waste energy fighting, pretending or anything when you may simply release.

The mind becomes a blackhole from trauma, constantly sucking lifeforce and draining you of any vitality. Change feels like an attack but this is not the case. Be aware this is unconscious, because of wounding. Super consciousness is the key. Everything is utterly special and perfect. This is where sages operate. Namely; accept, surrender, love and relax in order to reach an attainment of objective inner truth.

You come to the planet or any planet as a traveller. You accept the means because they are well beyond your control. Just like with humans, the pre-planning of a soul before incarnation often goes awry on the plains of animate life. You are not these contents, and what then is so wrong with any cards or choices? Judgement and righteousness are a deep sickness, generally interwoven with guilt, shame, fear, hatred, which are the current products of what was once helplessness or powerlessness. All pain is just sadness, although this becomes distorted. If we wore our faces honestly, without pretense, after a great trauma the countenance would be so misshapen in such a melancholy way not even the minstrels could pay. And this is much to deal with. So the mask is worn, the facial rearranged due fear, and the outcome a mirror showing a reflection of normality when the realistic version would resemble Dorian’s portrait.

There is a chronic loop with humans that leads us to seek out deservedness introspectively, constantly striving in some direction to ascertain the impossible question have I now done enough? or do I deserve to be happy yet? Just know that you do not have to follow this direction willingly. What is in the mind can be allowed to play out on its own dime and you need not divert all your resources to satiate your ego here. Be always centered to the best of your ability. Fasting is an excellent tool to achieve clarity because it well opens the higher chakras. And food-related fasting is not the only kind you can practice. In our times, sexual and technological fasting are paramount. You do not have to wear a chastity belt, become a celibate monk or behave like an abstinent Christian teenager. Nor do you have to go all Ted Kaczynski and move to the deep woods by yourself. You would be best served with intermittent periods of practicing each of these variations on fasting. Real change cannot happen internally barring external adjustments and vice versa, alterations need to happen outside to complement those shaping within. Furthermore, deciding non-suffering will change your life. It is the holy elixir. Choose non-suffering.

The path of non-suffering is mindset and actions-based. Create the idea of non-suffering and cultivate this mindset. It may take some time. But then also remove the circumstances in your life, be they activities, relationships and patterns that culminate in suffering which cannot be avoided. For instance, even if I have taken it upon myself and found success in restructuring my thoughts and beliefs to focus on non-suffering, if I continue to engage in any certain practice(s) that reduces me by expelling much-needed energy to grow and heal, I will still suffer and the body/ego will react with old thought-forms. You must commit to walking a path of non-suffering in both physical actions and consciousness. Life is a project with many assignments. You make the grade not by fixing your mistakes, but by accepting them. Lastly, it’s not enough merely to commit to non-suffering - but rather, are you committed to practice? Suffering is judgement of yourself and others, regardless of circumstance, borne of righteousness. On the other hand, inner peace via non-judgement is the road to non-suffering, and will bring great love. Fear also creates suffering. This is an emotional state, not thought-form. Release, flow with feeling.

The alchemist is one who turns lesser metals into precious ones and this is what is for us beings to do physiologically. The paradigm we leave in is fraught with severe challenges and you must be willing to face whatever comes your way, to surrender, release and heal it. All you must do is turn pain into love. You have done this many times before and are mighty and more than capable. Imagine, visualize, and manifest the changes you dream of. You cannot fear any contention. This universe is with you always.

People are frustrated since they are limited and this because they are compromised. In our natural state we are powerhouses of creative energetic flow. I believe people want the truth and also it is a potent dose of reality to get the species off of life support. We are factory-farmed food living in this unconscious way, with health, wealth and our powers stripped of us by being beyond the veil. You really are no one, so what if your sacrifice or the hardest thing you ever had to do was really your saving grace, redemption run and salvation. Do not make judgements, for assumptions have no principle same as arrangements and appearances. If you are tired of being on the shelf or feeling like you have been living life stuck on timeout, consider there is responsibility to be taken for past and current conditions or perhaps for the inaction of a course neglected. Not blame. But taking up the mantle yourself.

Chances are you know someone not, especially in this world, but merely their surface. Such is, the finite expression of mind-matrix programming a personality in the shadows atop of karma, conditioning and trauma. Any affect, no matter how severely traumatic, can only disturb the surface. That is all. It will never alter the substantial body or envenom its substance. To the same effect, you are not impulses, reactions or even actions, nor sickness or conditions. We honour ourselves by learning how to take care of the animal, which is half of us, surrendering to truth, and healing that which has oppressed our being here for time immemorial. Learning to make choices soul would make by releasing our bricklike hold on the self. Soul could not function either with thoughts like harden molten dykes. We must be free of fear of anything if we are to starting going where we are meant by becoming who we are meant to be here.

We walk through the warehouse of instructed and prescribed being our entire lives, picking out certain techniques, styles and skills to brand ourselves with, unaware that this whole condition is due to us living backwards in every sense, from the conscious mind which is roughly 5% of total mindpower, instead of in the 95% abundance of the subconscious. You do not have to subscribe. Let go, relax.

Thought without any emotion and the flow of energy is a compass without magnetism. If you are so lost, and of course we understand belief is thought in motion, then you have run into some fundamental, yet transient, problems. It is probable and in fact definite you believe there is some flaw in the system (you). There is not. Nothing at all is wrong with you. It follows that you can decide through glorious choice that you are perfect in every single way. Stop eating and bearing rotten fruits. The Cornucopia awaits within. We plant many seeds, but the ones you pay heed unto faithfully are the ones who soak in all the water, grow profusely and, if dark, became so imposing and entangled that complete shadow overtakes yours inner forest, and then you can’t see anything at all. No clarity nor insight into your position or suffering.

It is because of a pattern of misinterpreted information you find yourself with a hard false diagnosis and prognosis. The diagnosis is that you retain ownership, therefore must attend maintenance in your sense of perpetual goodwill and the prognosis that the former necessitates suffering, to alleviate, absolve and atone, while the latter will undoubtedly cause it. When you look around your house at sources material possessions you know that, though these things are there and called yours, you cannot actually possess them. It is the same for your thought, feeling, energy, hardware, even software which is what you think yourself to be, and then your reactions, also actions, illnesses, disease, conditioning, trauma, karma. In honesty consciousness is a state of being, like continual buzzing, or more so a streaming where there is awareness. This is it. I am, and that is all. Thank you, time again, Mathias de Stefano (last night S:1 E:3).

Space from external distractions will create space for you to strive away from internal distractions. This means that we need room to practice being less of the conscious mind and more of the subconscious. Because our power as a being comes from one’s greater mind which is the subconscious. To illustrate, Alan Watts referred to the conscious mind as spotlight and subconscious as floodlight. The spotlight is always focused and observing operative functions through the mechanisms of brain and software of the subjective mind. When we release and relax, the floodlight kicks in where we begin to see exactly what – meaning the contents of which – we have been living with, but it also allows conscious to blossom and so while we see the truth of what is inside the genuine truth begins to grow with relaxed intentionality. You have been existing backwards. It is really the objective mind that requires your nurturing affection. Just as the subconscious does not need to feared but gently instructed so it can attune to its devices.
