Openness ~

Deep breaths.

A lengthy inhale –

A lengthy exhale.

Echoing.

Inhaling and

Exhaling  –

Sweetly.

Riding the stretched waves of breath…

Deep waves of life energy.

If ever drowning is what may seem,

The life-saver is to literally Breathe.  

Each breath counts.

the choice.

There is a lens linked to a machine that directs a system of sensory reactions.

The lens takes in data from its surroundings and sends this input to the machine,

which will then inform the sensory system how to react.

Depending on how the machine interprets the information,

The system will thus be directed into any reaction.

While the input is the mere observation of surroundings,

The interpretation is what governs the reaction.

The interpretation can only be determined by the machine.

When information is received,

The machine’s interpretation stimulates the sensory reactions

which are then experienced in the system of physical senses

as a spectrum of differing degrees of enjoyment.

Frequently, the receiving and interpreting of input happens at such a rapid pace

That the interpretation & reaction occur instantaneously.

Such reflexive patterns occur

When the machine neglects to actively review and modify the process.

Instantaneous interpretations & reactions

Usually produce a sensory experience with a lower degree of enjoyment.

Or, they can bring instant enjoyment,

But it quickly fades back to none.

Ironically, there can be some enjoyment from the lack of enjoyment,

Since it’s all a part in the ranging spectrum of sensory experiences –

Experiences must be experienced.

As different reactions are expressed,

The spectrum of experiential expression runs its course;

As each reaction demonstrates a differing shade of enjoyment,

The entire gamut of expression can be known.

As the fullness of enjoyment reveals itself,

The lesser degrees of enjoyment can no longer suffice;

The senses crave only to experience enjoyment in its fullness.

Thusly, 
The machine learns

To actively choose

Interpretations & reactions

Which produce sensory experiences

That are not of varying shades

But only of enjoyment at its fullness.

When the fullness of enjoyment is chosen,

The spectrum of sensory experiences

Unifies into only one experience: full enjoyment.

The colors of the spectrum unite into one unified light - EnJOY.

actions speak louder than words.

Communication – it’s how ideas are transferred, thoughts are exchanged, intentions are expressed, and meanings are understood. One can say that the entirety of functioning society is based on some type of communication. It is also quite sensible to say that the more effectively we communicate, the more highly we function.

There are two main avenues of communication. The first of these avenues is concrete and defined; this is verbal communication through the expression of words – concretely expressed by being either spoken or written. The other avenue of communication is non-verbal, and this involves our attitude, our disposition, our body language, and our behavior. We communicate non-verbally with the intentions we have, with our demeanor, and with the actions we choose to take – including our mannerisms and physical expressions. It is said that 80% of communication is non-verbal.

         Yet, words are so important. Just think of how much we all use words everywhere – even right now as you read this. All of our verbal communication is based on the usage of words which are just letters that symbolize sounds that are jumbled together to transfer some specific meaning. Words are merely symbols that carry within them a meaning, and the meaning within the symbol is the precious cargo that the symbol carries.

            Although the meaning itself is the crucial purpose of a symbol, the symbol itself is also vital because it is the vehicle by which the meaning can thus be expressed. Without the symbol, the meaning could not be manifested into expression. Thus, the symbol is also precious because it is the means by which the meaning can be brought into manifestation – and can thus be known and understood. The symbol manifests because of the meaning it carries, and the meaning manifests because of the symbol that carries it. 

As much as we attempt to choose exact symbols in order to express an accurate impression of the meaning we intend to imply, the symbol will usually be interpreted differently by different beholders. Hence, this is why its so important for us to always keep our focus on the meaning itself – and to not get caught up in the symbols themselves – because a symbol is merely a conditional transporter that can easily be transformed and converted according to the situation and the audience. The essential element is always the intention of the meaning. The intention is the source. We must keep in mind that symbols are merely instruments that can easily be switched and replaced; the most important part is the intention of the meaning within. Intention is the essence within. Begin Within.

The purpose of communication is rooted in the abstract world of meaning and intention. The intention we hold within us is the most powerful communicator of the deepest source of meaning.  

Our inward intention and our outward actions are non-verbal symbols that speak louder than our words. The way we choose to be and behave is the most dominant way of how we communicate. When we become aware of this, we learn that how we are and how we act is more influential than what we say. We can then learn how Non-verbal symbols can be utilized in practical ways to help express ideas and feelings that go beyond words. These non-verbal Symbols help us communicate effectively by translating the abstract into a concrete expression, because symbols have the capacity of expressing many words at once in a precise and succinct way. Non-verbal symbols include your general attitude, as well as your actions and your body language - like facial expressions and eye contact. For example, the act of smiling is a non-verbal type of communication that has powerful meaning in its expression. A smile is the symbol of a positive Intention / Attitude within. When we smile, we are outwardly expressing a symbol that represents an inward intention. Instead of saying “I am happy,” the symbol of a smile says it all without saying a thing.

Utilizing any non-verbal symbol is a highly effective way of communicating beyond words – thereby allowing the potential for expression and understanding to expand. Communicating non-verbally is an exercise in which we feel as though we are practicing telepathy because we engage in transmitting and receiving information without the use of any words! This type of activity is an experience in which the brain begins to consciously and actively work with the power of influence found in one's inward intention and outward behavior. We realize that we communicate with more than just words, but also with our actions, our gestures, and our attitude. Hence, how we act can speak louder than what we say.

The practical application of this lesson is to apply it toward how we live our lives and to take this practice into every moment so we can employ its understanding into all our interactions and exchanges. When we learn to remember that our communication is more than just our words, we remember to be conscious of the non-verbal ways we are communicating at all times. When we are conscious of how we are non-verbally communicating, we become aware of the ways in which our attitude and our behavior serve as the primary, most powerful means of expression.

to Begin Within.

* 100 principals were asked about the people-skills they look for when hiring a new teacher.
In no particular order, the following traits were listed:
--Good attitude / optimistic, --Love of learning / inspiring this in others, --Handling stress / being resilient, --Ability to read emotions, --Responsible, --Resourceful, --Willingness to try something new or different, --Likes people / children, --Willing to be a role model, --Wants to make a difference, -- Being a team member,  --Enthusiastic,  --Good sense of humor,  --Flexible,  --Creative,  --Self-confident, --Passionate about what you do.

How can we ever teach ourselves all of these many traits? It may seem daunting to try to memorize all those qualities and to try to make sure each item is checked off the list. 

But, the way to change / modify our actions begins with our thoughts and feelings – Begin Within.

By modifying the intention & attitude we hold within us, we are aiming to modify our thoughts and feelings, and thus consequently our actions. All of the above traits are just outward manifestations of one way or mode of being which begins from within us. That mode of being is the umbrella that holds all these traits together.

~ If you hold the umbrella, then you hold all the traits it carries. ~

The concept / term that is the umbrella holding together all the traits listed above and sums up the source of all these traits into ONE word is: CARE; Caringness; To be Caring. This umbrella term is just a word I chose to describe a type of general attitude which is positive and compassionate towards all of Life: every moment and person. There are other words such as Compassion and Love that can be used as well. However, Care is such a useful and practical term because it is not so abstract or loaded with connotations. The concept of Care is graspable and precise. It’s about Caring.

When we are Caring, we have the best intention for all aspects of Life – including others and ourselves.

When we have Caringness, we are wishing the best for the situation and everyone involved.

To be Caring is to want a positive experience for All.

Caringness is about being open to allow everyone to reach the best possible experience.

Care is about being present to each moment and to each person.

Care is about being accountable for what you care about.

Care is acceptance and appreciation.

Care is Love.

When we Care, then we take care – we give Care to the fullness of our capacity.

Ask yourself: is it possible for you to be Caring and to NOT live out any of those traits listed above?

The state of Caringness is one which effortlessly ensures that all those traits are naturally manifested because there is no other way of being if one is being Caring.

This is what “Begin Within” is all about. It’s about changing the world within you, which then changes the world around you. The inner atmosphere we create is the one we outwardly manifest. One can not create a positive outer reality if one’s inner reality is not positive.

When we create the energy of Caringness from within, then the only natural result is that this Care will manifest outwardly. 
Then, the outward manifestation of one’s inner climate of Care will precipitate to spread onto other people as they begin to shift their inner climate as well - from the catalyst of being inspired by feeling positive energy. 

People will shift their energy when you shift yours. 

Begin Within.

to Love All Now.

Love = All = Now

In this simple equation is the delicious recipe for Enlightenment…

Enlightenment is the continuous evolution of our awareness – as we more fully attain a state of Being Peaceful, Joyful, and Loving. 

With an enlightened perspective, we are able to accept, appreciate, and enjoy Life.

Enlightenment is our infinite journey to more fully realizing ourselves as Beings of Infinite £ove.

Our external circumstances are not the true determinant of our state of happiness. They are merely transitory conditions that can be transcended when we realize that we create our reality from within.

We create reality from within – whether we are aware of it or not.

When we become aware of it, then we become conscious co-creators of our reality.

Love = All = Now.

Love is All. All is Now. Now is Love.

Now is All is Love. 
Love is All is Now.

Love All Now.

The Holy Trinity of Infinity: Infinite £ove = Infinite All = Infinite Now.

The Holiness of Oneness:  One Love = One All = One Now.

Love is the essence of the All of space and the Now of time. Infinite essence, infinite space, infinite time.

There is no other moment but Now. Now is All there is. 

If you choose to Love in any other moment, when will you ever Love? There is only Now. 

Now is All. Now is Love. Love Now.

We think Love is limited to certain times, certain places, and certain people, but Infinite £ove arises from every moment, and it is felt for every atom of existence. 

Unconditional Infinite £ove is for All people and places and situations in All moments. 

Love All Now.

~ Love is the highest expression of Emotional Intelligence (inward awareness): empathy, cooperation, consensus building, the ability to read one's feelings, the ability to calm oneself down, & the ability to maintain a positive attitude in the face of setbacks.

~ With awareness of our inner world, we can cultivate Love. This cultivation results in: knowing one's emotions, managing emotions, motivating oneself, recognizing emotions in others, & handling relationships.

~ When we have cultivated a state of Lovingness, our choices reflect this inward Love as: listening and communication skills, adaptability, creative thinking, solution-finding skills, & goal setting.

~ When we cultivate a state of Lovingness from within, we see major enhancements in how we engage in: teamwork, interpersonal skills, and social interactions. 

The Practice of Love = All = Now is based on Love for the All and Love for the Now.
It is the acceptance and appreciation of All and Now.

It is totally inclusive of every aspect of existence and every person in existence within every moment of existence. It is a practice in which we engage our mind and heart to be Present and Accepting in each moment for each and every person and part of Life.

Now is All is Love. 
Love is All is Now. 
Love = All = Now. 

This simple doctrine is the entire manifesto for the recipe of Enlightenment.
  
Choose to Love All Now.

there is only Now.

Time is like the dancing smoke of burning incense.
A silky stream emerges and its tender tendrils flutter away.
It has no form before it appears. 
It has no form after it disappears.  
It only exists Now.

The Mind has Thoughts; the Heart has Feelings.

When Thoughts are applied to understand & energize Feelings,
the Mind is thus utilized to activate the Heart.

To Think with Feeling is the Union of Heart & Mind.

This Moment.

We can never really determine the outcome; 
It's in the future and does not yet exist.
.
The only thing that we can determine is 
Ourselves Now in This Moment..

To be Present to how one feels 
in This Moment 
creates an atmosphere 
which therefore allows

Belief.

If you think "god" just means some old dude up in the sky, 
then you probably don't believe in god. 

If you think "god" is just a word 
that aims to describe 
the energy that is infinitely present in All, 
then everyone probably believes in God.


~*~

Everyone is Extraordinary.

Anytime you think you're better than someone.. 
Or anytime you think someone is better than you.. 
Those are delusions of the Ego. 

How could each unique person ever be comparable ?

No-one is above or below another.
Every-one is Extra-ordinary in their own way.

how to Be Love.

Have / Do / Be

Be / Do / Have

We 'have' thoughts & feelings. 

We 'do' actions. 

We 'are' beings.

Your vibrational imprint as a human being is the totality of all your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

All of what you think & feel, plus everything you say & do – it all amounts to your total vibration. 

The inner self is comprised of the thoughts and feelings that occur within us.

The outer self is comprised of the actions which manifest as a result of our inner self –

As we interact with the world around us.

The entirety of our inner and outer self becomes how we are who we are.

* The thoughts we choose directly influence the feelings we have – inner self.

Our thoughts & feelings directly influence the actions we choose to do – outer self.

Thus:

What we choose our inner self to be

is how we choose what our outer self will be - 

which becomes who we are.

~ Begin Within ~

If we choose to have thoughts of Love, we will have feelings of Love – a Loving inner self.

Then, we choose to do actions of Love – a Loving outer self.

Therefore, we become Love – a Loving being.

Have Love Inwardly.

Do Love Outwardly.

Be Love Totally.

what Rings True for you.

When people come to me with a question, I do what I do for my own questions:
I take an honest look at what I know, and what I don't know.

Along with knowledge gathered from a variety of sources (such as certain books and individuals),

I look to my own intuitive inner knowingness to point toward the answers.

*All you need is your own inner knowingness to answer all your questions.

But, yes, sometimes we may benefit from seeking some external hints and nudges.

So, I follow the hints which have resonance for me - they resonate within me.

Truth truly “rings a bell” within.

~ the Bell Tolls for All ~

Analogy in everything.

The use of Analogy has a prevailing universality found ubiquitously in all cultures and minds. 

I can recall many analogies my parents have told me from axioms in our Persian heritage:

Proverbs, sayings, stories, quick verses, epic poems, & folk songs.

There are some things that can only be described and understood with analogies
because of the expressive and expressible way they carry inexpressible ideas.

Analogies convey profound depths of meaning which transcend into vast dimensions of comprehension;
An analogy transmits a comprehensive scope of information that consists of 
multiple implications which are connected together 
through a nexus of associated meaning. 
Inherent associations between the implications 
allow for the synchronized transfer of multiple meanings.

An analogy is the multifaceted amalgamation of coalesced implications -
converging to form into one unified implication.

Throughout the fiber of Analogy, a connective thread is pervasively infused -

linking all the meanings together to form the overall meaning.
. 

(fractal)

Symbols are analogies that exemplify 
the simultaneous transfer of numerous implications: 

“A picture says a thousand words.”

An image can be the symbol of an entire story, 
A story can be the symbol of an entire lifetime.

Analogy is the channeling of meanings 
into an expressible & graspable medium 
through which an array of inexpressible & ungraspable implications can thus be expressed & grasped.
When we express an implication that we can grasp, 
the deeper inexpressible implications that are connected by associated meaning are thus also expressed. 
When we grasp an implication that can be expressed, 
the associated ungraspable implications can be grasped.  

*The magic of Analogy :

Expressing what can be grasped

Allows for the expression of the inexpressible.

 Grasping what can be expressed 

Allows for the grasping of the ungraspable.

Any & All Art is Analogy.

All of Life has correlation.

Every bit of life has meaning. 

Every moment. Every person, place, situation…

There is Analogy in everything throughout all nature and all states of being – Waking & Dreaming… 

The most intricately meaningful metaphors are in dreams.

.
A Metaphor consists of many micro-implications that converge to form the overall macro-implication.
Life consists of many micro-metaphors that converge to form the overall macro-metaphor(s) of our Lives.

The grasping of a micro-implication leads to the grasping of macro-implications.

To grasp a micro-metaphor leads to the grasping of Life's macro-metaphor(s).
