Knowledge and experience are universal phenomenon. Let’s take a deeper look at this statement.  If you truly do take a look at the experiences in your life you will find that there really is nothing new about them. We all experience the joy of birth, and the pain of death not only with our own bodies, but other people in our lives. We all have relationships, and there are always common threads in them as to how they succeed, or how they fail. No one has ever come up with a ‘new way’ of doing anything.

So with these statements why then do some people have better experiences than others? This is simple, it is all based on how you use your MIND, and what your core beliefs are. The fact is you have belief systems that change from day to day and others you are not even aware of.

The mind works by predicting the future with reference to the past using your belief system. There are several problems with this, but we must look at them one at a time.  First we must quiet the mind, and take control. The past is gone forever, it cannot be relived and only causes us PAIN. Even pleasant and happy memories do this because they are gone, and we mourn this.  Second the future is not set, but if you are using the past to create our future we will experience the same things over and over again.

If we quiet the mind and live in the moment we can then experience NEW things. These experiences are not new to the Universe, but they are US.  You mind is so messed up and confused when was the last time you really tasted the food you eat? Really? Calm the mind and eating becomes a new experience for you. All experience, good and bad can be linked to your habitual thinking patterns. Success and failure are all products of our thinking, not our environment.

So taking control of the mind is paramount. Without doing so you will be trapped into living the same experiences day in and day out, similar to the movie Ground Hog Day. In the next essay we will look into this in more depth.

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” Buddha

  I made this statement in a twitter post and someone asked, “what does this mean.” I will admit I was surprised at the question. Ignorance is the ONLY TRUE EVIL because all wrong doing comes from it.  This is not a religious point of view or a racial point of view it comes about from not having a clue WHO YOU ARE.

I have talked at length over time about duality, 99% of people don’t get it, because it is HARD to grasp, but we are again talking in the same arena! Evil is a step backward, good is a step forward, love is a step forward, hate is a step backwards. Love and hate, like good and evil are different sides of the same coin, once cannot exist without the other!

Ignorance and wisdom are the same. We look inside and don’t like what we see, we project it onto other people, other cultures, other religions and then we do evil things! If we look inside ourself, see who we are, cast out all things that are not based in love, not useful, then WISDOM comes forward and so does love, hope, forgiveness and GOOD.

Everything you JUDGE in this world is based on a reflection of YOU! When you hate yourself you see ugly things, evil, sadness, despair! When you love yourself you see joy, beauty and HOPE. Love comes from you to all things regardless of any man assigned label for it!

Look inside and find the BEAUTY that is your life, the love growing inside your soul. Let go of all that does not serve to make your life a joy! Ignorance is the only true evil, wisdom is the only true good, LOVE IS THE RESULT.

After you can see The Beauty in Life.

 

Knowledge and experience are universal phenomenon. Our brain is the tool of connection and our mind is the operating system that controls it all.  For the purpose of these articles looking at the brain itself is not necessary, we need to look at the controller, the mind.

The mind has 2 parts, the conscious and the sub conscious. We only see the conscious mind. It is funny that science calls it this because in fact we are mostly asleep. The sub conscious mind is what is calling all the shots, and it does so without emotion, directed by the input of the conscious mind.  The conscious mind is like a glass filled with water, the sub conscious or unconscious is like the Pacific Ocean.

Now going back to the first essay, the brain is only a transmitter, the conscious and the unconscious do not exist in the brain, they are elsewhere and everywhere in the universe. Birth is a connection of this source energy to the physical body, death is the disconnection of source energy to the physical body.  That is all, there is nothing tragic in death or joyous in birth, they are just part of the processes of the universe. We are joyfully or grievous because of the belief systems we have. Because these are our beliefs does not mean their are correct or truthfully, just beliefs, part of the experience we have chosen because we are physical.

Now we are here to ‘experience’ the joys of being physical, then why are so many people in misery and suffering? The reason is because they have not taken control of the mind (which is only a small part of who and what we really are). Instead we allow others to create our belief system, whether by accident or on purpose. Most of the belief systems we have come from society, religion and government.  These bodies are all self serving attempt of man to control man. None have any higher purpose. Only by you changing your belief systems, the way you think, can you experience a higher purpose.

The average person has 70,000 thoughts per day, but the problem is they are the same thoughts as yesterday and the day before. Why? Because this is the programing we are working with, the belief systems we have! Change the belief system by controlling and directing the mind, and you will change the experiences that you bring into your life.

People will say this BULLSHIT, yet they will believe something writing 2000 to 3000 years ago without QUESTION and the reason is this programming that has been handed down through the generations to them without question.

Man controlling man….. How did they get away with it? Very simple, we are all asleep at the wheel of life.

Do you want different experiences in your life, different knowledge? Then you must awaken yourself and discover the limitless experience and knowledge available to us.

Buddha said ““Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Who is Buddha? He was just a man, nothing special or profound. We are all Buddhas, the only difference is he was awake and most of us as still asleep.

It has been some time since I last wrote here, but I have now decided to start again. I am going to do a multi part essay on Knowledge and Experience being Universal happenings. Some of you will not like what I write, which is OK, others will connect with these words. Your only barrier is your beliefs.

Back about a year ago when I created this blog I was befriended by many Buddhists as you might imagine.  Some were deeply offended by what I wrote, others loved it. One person kicked me out of a Facebook mediation group and de-friended me because she was upset that I was teach against some of the things the Buddha taught. But this is so very typical of any religion……funny here is a quote from Buddha.

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

How convenient to forget this! This quote is also what we call WISDOM. I am often asked what religion I am. I am NOT a Buddhist, Christian, Muslim or Hindu. I simply AM.

But on to the topic at hand. It does not matter today if you are joyous or you are suffering, all Knowledge and Experience is Universal. When something happens in our lives we think that the experience is unique to us, when if fact considering the population the exact same experience is being had by someone else right this moment. But we believe we are alone in this experience, so we suffer even more. We cannot even truly enjoy a blissful moment, because we are waiting for it to end.

So first let take a look at the human brain, how it works and why these things are universal. The brain is essential a bio-electrical connection system. It is made up of neurons which connect to each other forming a neuro net as it is called. Each experience, each memory, each thought are written within this system. Science has looked for 100′s of years to find the information the brain is accessing.  But no matter how hard they try they cannot find a single thought. Why is this?

The reason is simply, it is not held in the brain. The brain is simply a very complex frequency transmitter, the knowledge it is connecting too is not within, but out somewhere in what we call the universe, or for the sake of this article, the universe of experience. So how do I know this? Well how did Einstein discover the properties of light without any instruments like we have today? Because knowledge is universal, and he tapped into the correct frequency to ‘discover’ something that always existed.

This is the point in this article when some of you will go “What a pile of Bullshit” and stop reading. However you will then text your mom or your girlfriend across the world and think nothing extraordinary is happening……. You believe in your Blackberry because you think you understand. It is not your fault, you are still asleep.

So why do we not know and understand all this? Because like my friend with the Blackberry who is PINing and SMSing the world with his thoughts, you are asleep, with the mind in control of your daily life.  You are on autopilot, experiencing the same thing the sleeping masses are experiencing because we read it into our own vibrations. yes, our autopilot attracts it all to us.

Now this is a lot of information, but in the coming weeks and days I will break it all down so it makes more sense. Because knowledge and experience are universal you can experience or know anything you chose, but not until you control your own mind and get off the autopilot!

In the next article I will breakdown how the mind/brain work.

  Have you ever noticed when you look at icons from almost any religion how sad and depressed they look?  Christianity tells of the JOY of knowing Jesus but all I see is sad, depressed faces. Why is this? Really??? It seems to me that all religion talks of is suffering, sadness, sin. No one seems interested in the teachings of the avatars, why??? Because with sadness comes the ability to control people! Happy people will never go to war!

Do you know that your “mood” directly affects your health? When you are sad, depressed, stressed your blood become more acidic and diseases like cancer can then run wild? Do you know that continued depression and sadness can actually change your DNA? Selling sadness seems to be the business of religion!

Look at Mel Gibson’s movie the Passion of the Christ.  Why is it Jesus message about life, his teaching,  the real meaning behind his life not being talked about? Or is it perhaps JOY and HAPPINESS don’t sell, don’t allow for manipulation? In the book A Course In Miracles the death of Christ is looked at in depth, especially why are we still talking about it and not his life?

Common people wake up and realize the Roses you have been sold are DEAD and smell like shit! Whatever religion you belong take a look at the meaning of the saint, prophet or messiah and forget the bag of crap you are being sold by the people making MONEY ON YOU.  The message in all religions is beautiful, it is not about war, hate and sin but about the salvation of the soul!

Stop looking outside for your answers, outside to other MEN who lie and don’t know anything! Look deep inside and you will find your answers, your Christ, your Buddha Nature whatever you chose to call it!

God has never been in any book, he is inside you, where your higher self resides.

This is an excellent video! Watch it and think about it.

If People Are Happy, Nobody Can Drag Them into a War

From an interview with Norres Kane Hasselholm, Sweden

  Suffering, the human race is full of suffering, the question is why? Do we suffer because we are sinners? NOPE.  Do we suffer because the world is cruel? NOPE. Do we suffer because………….??????

We suffer because sadly life did not come with an operators manual, people have no clue how to use their massive brains, and we believe everything we are told! OK there is the rant part of this essay done. People suffer because of unfulfilled desires and wants.  But really all this is, is BAD THINKING.

“I want this NOW.” is the mantra of the younger and much of the older generation. Once they have what they want they NEED something else, then the cycle of misery continues destroying friendships, marriage, and the lives of those around them. What is the leading reason for divorce? Money issues right? This is unfulfilled desires for something more.

Is there something more to have? NOPE. Nothing really matters because none of these things you desire have any permanence. They are simply objects, objects you become attached to and then you suffer. You look at the future wishing your life away because I WANT THIS NOW. Then when you have it the satisfaction is short lived and misery returns.

How do we fix this? Realize that the only thing that matter is this VERY MOMENT.  If you have a desire and you “enjoy” the feeling of wanting in the moment, not looking at the future and all the reason you don’t have what you want, then suffering ceases. People the only thing in life that matters is happiness and there is not much of going around these days! No one will ever MAKE you happy. Only you can do this and the ONLY way to lasting HAPPINESS is to wake up and enjoy the here and NOW.

Put “desire” in it’s place and end the DRAMA!

Live only for this moment and this moment is the only moment that matters!

  The Dalai Lama speaks of compassion, the entire Buddhist teachings are based on compassion. To show compassion for all living beings and if you cannot show compassion then at least do no harm.  I am a compassionate person by nature, it was taught to me by my mother at a very young age.  But in todays world this is often viewed as weakness.

What is wrong with our world today that compassion is so lacking, so dead? Once again boys and girls we get down to only one answer. The population is asleep, and they are looking for answers everywhere in the outside world and never within! I have noticed in the world today there are more and more people reaching out to a “god” for answers. Note REACHING OUT. They go to ministers, priests and rabies for absolution and advice. Meanwhile the people they seek help from are fast asleep also.  These same men and woman seek help from their “superiors” who are also fast asleep. The funny thing is there are NO superiors among men.

Love and compassion begin from within. Looking inside, seeing who you really are will allow you to extend compassion to friends, family and eventually the rest of the world.  But people’s focus is on the reality they think is real. The job, the house, the new car, the career. They miss out on what life is really about. What is life really about? Being happy. That is all there is!

Hate and cruelty breed more hate and cruelty. Love and compassion is the only thing that can destroy hate. Love and compassion bring more love and compassion. This is simple KARMA.

So today rather than opening a book that is 2000 years old or perhaps older take a look inside.  If you believe in a “god” rather than looking out, look within to find him or her. There is nothing out there out there. All answer are from within. When you look within you will find the love and compassion that is your true nature.

You will find peace.

 

  His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso is a man of extraordinary kindness and peace. He travels the world telling people his message of love and compassion.  He never preaches about who’s religion is right and who’s in wrong. He only speaks of looking within for your answers. He has spoken in front of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. He has met presidents and popes but his message is all the same. Find inner peace and end the conflict in our lifetime.

The Dalai Lama was born in Tibet before Chinese occupation which goes on to this day. He is an man who lost his country and became a citizen of planet Earth.  He is the icon for Buddhist but yet never tells anyone to convert, in fact most times he discourages it. No blood has ever been shed in his name or the name of Buddhism. No other “religion” on the planet can make this claim.  He travels with security, but not that of a pope or president because he is loved by all those who’s lives he touches.

He believes in his heart all men are inherently good and equal. He does not preach condemnation or about sin. He only talks of love and compassion.  Tenzin Gyatso is a LIVING Buddha….an enlightened one! He was asked one day by the media what the meaning of life was. He told the man – “to be happy.”

If you ask Tenzin Gyatso if he is a Buddha. He will reply with a smile. “I am a simple monk.”

  Our world once again is full of conflict, not that this is anything new. Why is this? After all these centuries why are so many nations still in conflict with each other? The answer is simple, 99% of the people on this planet are fast asleep. The are asleep while walking around.

We so often believe the lies of the media, the governments, the churches, rather than open our own eyes, think for ourselves and find our own answers. We are brainwashed to the concept of “absolute” truth and if someone disagrees with this truth they must either be converted, persecuted  or destroyed.  Don’t believe it is this bad? Take a GOOD look around you!

Since childhood we have been told to respect authority and listen to what we are told. But who makes them an authority? God? Common people! If God was making any MAN an authority on anything don’t you think HE or SHE would tell you? All this is is manipulation 101! Wake up!

What is the answer? Change in our world can only come one person at a time. I cannot change ANYONE other than MYSELF which is what I have been doing for years.  Look inside and you will find all your answers. When sometime tells you this is the TRUTH and you should not question it then the RED FLAGS should go up and you need to question EVERYTHING! Second realize the only authority in your life is YOU. Reject all others!

Peace comes from within not from the outside. Happy people cannot be dragged by any government into war.

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”……Buddha
