When you judge this natural tendency or resist it, the emotion has nowhere to go and stays stuck. The nervous system then becomes a “mine field” of intense emotions easily triggered by people and events that remind it of its cause of pain.

Don’t let the Ego judge itself was weak or “unmanly” for crying. It’s something that ALL humans have as a built-in mechanism for dealing with emotional pain.

The key is to use crying to release the emotion but then also quickly release the thoughts that are causing the pain in the first place. If something is not happening RIGHT NOW, it’s over. Most emotional pain comes from REPLAYING what happened over and over again. You have to consciously let go of this painful process.

Sometimes that’s not so easy right?  Instead of asking questions like, “how could this person do this to me?” or “how could I have been so stupid?” you must extract the valuable lesson by asking questions like “what’s valuable here?” and “what lessons can I take away from this?” .. you must find the valuable lesson or discover the subconscious pay-off for hanging on to something so that you can give yourself the greater benefit of letting it go for internal peace.

Crying helps you
1) release intense pressure so you can
2) effectively discover the value of the experience, and
3) then allow yourself to let it go.

Your body will help you with #1. You are responsible for the last two.

At the heart of it, we all want the same thing: to provide a happy, sustainable and enjoyable environment that we all want to live in. The rest is just details.

Fear (and thus war) CAN be overcome when rational people communicate openly and share an interest in the SAME outcome.

We humans have evolved from a time when resources were scarce and we didn’t have the ability to satisfactorily sustain ourselves on this planet. It was a time of eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. That time is over – yet we are still genetically designed to fear, fight for survival and be selfish.

Fortunately, we are equipped with a consciousness to recognize and therefore correct the primitive workings of our human body and brain. But first we must WAKE from our Ego (constructed self) auto-pilot, built for an earlier time. It’s still running the show.

Once we are operating from a higher perspective, we can view the Ego as a silly child acting irrationally in the short term, against ALL of our long term interests.

When the Ego is no longer in charge, especially at the highest levels of leadership (securing resources and power for itself) , we’ll have peace and an opportunity to reinvest resources in constructing a more joyful environment on Earth.

The biggest battles are not fought on land, nor sea, nor air. They are fought in our minds and in our hearts. It is Ego vs. the Soul. And this battle is being fought at every level of our humanity.

It is a matter of urgency that we seek this higher awareness and gain victory within ourselves, especially now that we live in age where we have the capacity to destroy ourselves as a race. Never before has so much responsibility been in the hands of such unready Souls.

Every day is an opportunity to wake up .. wake up from Ego with more awareness, wake up from Ego with more urgency.. especially if you should find yourself in position of growing responsibility, status and power. A powerful Ego is far harder to master than one that is still under construction.

The next big global change, will not be a change in political parties, it will be a shift in consciousness from the inside out.

Left alone too long, without awareness or willful direction, however and the Ego may fall back into older, more instinctive tendencies.

And to clarify – even this statement is not an absolute, its just one perspective on truth. Multiple perspectives help us to see a thing more clearly and can be appreciated, as long as no perspective is forced or threatens our free will.

The Self Bias
We believe that our own self is more important than others. This sense of self importance often leads to a quest to make all other living things and material resources on this planet self-serving.

The goals of power, wealth, fame and status are examples of self bias.

The Species Bias
We believe that human kind is more important than any other species on the planet. We believe that we are the pinnacle of evolution and that we are the only life form in the Universe. When humans cause the extinction of other species it is acceptable in the name of progress or better living. Progress being defined as human progress.

Cutting down the rain forest, poisoning the rivers, over fishing the oceans, or euthanizing animals are examples of species bias.

THE TIME BIAS
We believe that this moment in time is more important than any other. We focus most of our time and attention on making results happen in this lifetime. In general we are willing to borrow from the future (and therefore let them suffer the consequences of our actions if necessary) so that we can live better today.

Drug abuse, global warming, and massive public debt are examples of time bias.

CONCLUSION
The biases are not necessarily good or bad, they simply exist as part of the human condition. The goal here is to become aware of how they underly our perspectives by default so that in awareness we can elevate our perspective and make the best choice possible for all life.. not just for our self or the human race at this time.

The latest – I’m currently in San Francisco visiting friends and working remotely with Shereen for the next few weeks. I’m working on several projects at the moment:
- Growing Full Potential Speaking biz
- Growing Global Sky and Outbounders
- Moving forward on an invention that allows you to work from laptop while laying down
- Researching best location for Full Potential Community in Philippines
- Development of Full Potential Club membership area (pretty cool)
- Building up Full Potential Show on Youtube

Over the last month or so I was living in Portland, Oregon with Shereen and her family which is where she’s from originally. Our plans are to stay in San Francisco until mid-October then Vegas for a week or so to see family and then Scottsdale for an event in early November before we head back to Portland for a couple of weeks to wrap-up some family business related things there before we venture off to Hawaii (the big island) as a possible landing spot and future location for the Full Potential Resort. We’ll be there at least through December.

I’ve decided to start sharing more about my personal life than I have in the best. I used to avoid it because I thought it might be considered “fluff” and I wanted to only give you the highest value ideas I have when I write and avoid any Ego spotlight – but I realize that the personal “context” stuff is part of an important connecting and relating process. Feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts on this as your feedback will help me know whether I should continue this course of more personal share on top of the insights.

The Ego makes a poor master but a wonderful instrument. Like a beast with its own intentions, and dangerous to its owner if uncaged, unharnessed or unguided, the Soul must skillfully master this human body and brain.

REMEMBERING TEMPORARINESS

Going from dream state to waking I find myself wondering about the temporariness of it all. How lives when surrounded by things like war or when death is regularly discussed or shown openly – it must be easier to see the transitory nature of life and imagine how soon our own end will unfold.

DEATH IS ALWAYS JUST A BREATH AWAY

I think we live with the illusion that we have “some” number of years stretching out before us before we even have to consider the prospect of an ending. To remember that death always exists, even if its just a breath away from some accident or disease – is paramount.

How can we function and create something of significance in this life when at the same time we are in recognition that this life will surely end?

GOAL SEEKING ONLY FOR INDIVIDUAL COMFORT OR STATUS IS SILLY

I think the answer came out before I even finished – live with the idea that the individual self is temporary and that its goal seeking for recognition or comfort is of the most ridiculous sort. Be focused instead on leaving something behind for the next generations of humanity. Be focused on passing the baton instead of building a home.

LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND

What would you like to leave behind to the next generation coming up behind you. What will make their passage smoother or more enlightened? How can you raise the consciousness of the coming generations to raise the overall consciousness of the planet as wave upon wave of life passes through it? Indeed these are the questions you should be asking your self.

HIGHER ENERGY IS ETERNAL

By aligning with the greater idea of serving humanity you connect with a higher, more eternal source of energy. You are no longer operating as a single individual. Though you may die the true nature of your goal lives on and may be carried out by individuals aligning with the same source. The only thing that dies is the physical sense perception of the individual. On Earth, thoughts, dreams and ideas live on in the minds of the living. And the higher energy of “mind” is not Earth bound – it operates in the dimension we know as thought. Thought energy is boundless and eternal, though it may be accessed by mortal brains. Higher truth may only be accessed in the realm of thought energy.

For example the inventions of the past on Earth and the many inventions of the future have their home in thought energy. The difference between what arrives in this lifetime or not is the ability of the receiver (the imagination of the visionary) to discern or extract thought energy in a clear and usable form during a period in which the resources for its construction are available. A cave man could not construct a rocket ship, though the possibility for its construction existed as evident by its later construction, the probability of its construction during the Bronze age was nil. Leonardo Da Vinci worked up inventions on paper that would become a reality hundreds of years later. He was able to discern and extract them from the thought dimension as his creativity operated there most of the time, but he wasn’t able to construct them on the Earth plane since most of the resources and knowledge did not yet exist on the Earth plane yet.

HIGHER ENERGY LIVES ON BEYOND PHYSICAL DEATH

The goal of your higher energy may still be carried out. What dies is not “you” its your lower energy, the energy that is on such a lower wavelength it has become matter. That physical matter, or lower energy is what dies on Earth. The higher energy is released and continues on in other forms, in higher thought. At the spiritual level higher energy has a tendency to transcend individualism – it can see and feel through multiple physical bodies or, in the terminology of individuals, it can appear as “one” spiritual entity. But higher energy is boundless in form and therefore it cannot be placed and labeled in a single box.

LIVING IT

The purest expression of an individual human being is the serving of now and future generations – sharing information and creating environments that will serve them best in their temporary journey across the Earth plane. What will you leave behind?

THE INTENTION BEHIND OUR INTENTION

The world is a temporary place and our lives in it, incredibly temporary! There must be a spirit greater than what is observable in this world – it must reside in each of us, it must move us with an intention greater than we know. We must tune in to know this intention – we must be consciously seeking it to find it and it must be given permission to direct our lives. It must be the same intention that gave birth to us and all forms of life before we ever came upon the scene. As a human being it was impossible to have choice upon the matter for we were never in the world, so before we were born there was the intention of our parents and their parents and their parents and so on down the line of a mind boggling succession of intentions that eventually gave birth to the life that now walks the planet today. But what before them? What ultimately intended life in the first place? Surely there was a great intention prior to life even existing – even the concept of life, where does it come from? It surely stands apart from matter – and even if all atoms in this world are alive what gives it life? What is life and why do we exist?..I’m not just asking this question for humanity but asking it for all life forms. Let’s explore.

EVIDENCE FOR A CAUSE

The reason of our existence may not be easily comprehended in this short life-time, but the observance of a cause that precedes all life gives us almost an undeniable evidence for an intention that precedes that of all individual intention. This intention is what we not only can have faith for but that we can rely on for existing. Just as one might look upon the ancient Pyramids or temples and know beyond a doubt that an intention preceded their existence – even though their creators are nowhere to be found.

A HANDS-OFF OR HANDS-ON CREATOR?

Now begs the question: Were we and the laws of the universe created and now we’re running on our own power? – As there seems to be no God really intervening in our every day affairs. Or were we created and now the creator hides behind a thin veil of energy that we cannot see with our physical eyes nor hear with our physical ears, but we can still surely feel it and be guided by it (therefore it still intervenes albeit indirectly) by purely tuning into it with the quieting of our minds and the directing of our own individual intention? If so, this gives rise to a third question – why? Why must we be so vigilant in our seeking this creator. Like a child forced to find it’s parents – seemingly ill equipped for a world full of delusion, distraction and temptation.

WHY MUST WE SEEK IT?

If this creator does exist behind a thin veil and one of its laws is not to intervene with the affairs of life or man – then the individual intention to seek it out is then perhaps a test? Or a gift of love? If you do not seek it out, you are not wrong or judged by the creator – you are simply running on your own power and must be doing well enough without it. But if you are in trouble or suffering, by seeking out the creator you are then given comfort and love. Like a child perhaps steadying itself to walk – the creator chooses not to intervene so that the maximum growth and development of the child is not hindered. But when the child cries out for help the parent is there to offer comfort. Still not sheltering the child or doing the works it must do, but offering it a place of rest to renew and recharge, and a source of guidance to help it be maximally efficient with its use of limited resources such as mortal time and energy.

POSSIBLE ONGOING INTENTIONS OF A CREATOR

The final resolution being that if indeed a creator exists, evident in that an intention MUST precede all life forms in order for there to be a cause of life, and that creator is not a visible part of our every day affairs it must be behind a veil of some sort:

• testing us

• awaiting our call for help and guidance

• or both.

WHAT THESE INTENTIONS MEAN FOR EVERY DAY LIVING

If a creator is testing us – we should make the most of this life through the development of our character and the sincere concern for the impact our daily actions have on our core self or Soul, and the impact it has on all other life forms (not just human) - since these were also intended by the creator and we must not be so arrogant as to judge them to have been made for solely humanities enjoyment or consumption.

If it is awaiting our call for help and guidance – then we should seek it out daily, in earnest – for the source of power it must provide would dwarf any and all visible creations, since it is the root power of all creations.

WHAT IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN A CREATOR?

If you don’t believe in a creator, the first consequence is that you won’t seek it out – and you will learn what little your own power has to offer in face of entropy (chaos, darkness) in this world. In this case lack of faith is not bad or evil, but as a consequence it cuts you off from its power and guidance, which magnifies suffering and may lead to actions considered bad or evil, for as you stumble in the dark of ignorance you are bound to trip up others in their journey towards the light.

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR YOUR NON-BELIEF AND WHY IT MIGHT BE WORTH A SECOND LOOK

If you have sought out a creator with great expectation and been disappointed with the vicissitudes that have come in spite of your faith – then consider what you gain by non-belief? The heart may harden as you determine that you are on your own. You curse an invisible creator and you forever cut yourself off from perhaps a more divinely inspired plan. Perhaps the suffering you experienced in spite of your faith is the loving hand at work, showing you what you needed to learn – a painful whip that was meant to help you let go of your unnecessary attachments. But if upon the first whip you cry, hang on to your attachments even tighter (as if they were permanent) and curse the creator, believing there is none – you turn away from the guidance that was perhaps lovingly guiding you with the most fundamental tools of life – pain and pleasure.

MY PERSONAL POSITION

All of this said, I don’t know if there is a creator because I have no other evidence than the conclusions I’ve formed above and a few personal experiences with a feeling of love that seems to transcend anything I have experienced in this life, which came only when I was earnestly seeking to know myself in relation to a creator. I certainly feel as though there is a strong possibility for a creator and even great probability that one exists, but I don’t know with absolute conviction, which I think is healthy – history has shown that those who have felt certain about their faith have dictated and crusaded to prove others wrong with severe consequence.

I do know that when I’m not seeking to know the creator of this universe that I feel so distant from a source of love and guidance within myself that I dare not consider any other alternative. I follow no religious doctrine nor have any agenda other than this: consider the possibility.

CLOSING THE MIND TO POSSIBILITY IS NEVER A SMART IDEA

Like anything in life, unless you know for sure, closing your mind to the possibility blinds you from seeing opportunities that could pass right in front of your closed eyelids, figuratively speaking. Keep an open mind. No matter what you have suffered, consider the possibility that the creator exists, it’s testing you and its waiting to be sought daily for guidance. Consider the possibility that in order to hear it, you’ll need to take time out in silence to quiet the chatter of the mind, which normally acts as a great noise drowning out the more subtle energy vibrations whispering inside you. If you’re still alive, you still have time to gather more evidence – the trial is still on.

Life is like a book, you don’t rush through the chapters to find out at the end if its good. Enjoying each chapter is what makes it good.

So often we get attached to the achievement of some goal, or the outcome of some project – and we forget that all the little moments leading up to the conclusion are the “meat” of life and, conclusions are only a very small part of it. If we hunger for the outcomes we so desperately seek – we rush through the most important part and arrive at the end only wishing we could do it all over again, a little slower this time.
