Free Will & Incredible Suffering: A (logical) Paradox?
If you read my article about Free Will & our inherent rights, you might think that does not make a lot of sense: If we are the creators of our circumstances (as the 7 Hermetic Principles such as the ‘Law of Mentalism’ & ‘Law of Correspondence’ imply) and have Free Will about all aspects of […]
Suffering = implied consent: Time for intolerance! Or the ‘Anatomy of Agreements’
In the preceding 2 articles, we have established what our inherent rights are and that there is a difference between Natural Law and Man-made Law / the legal system (if you haven’t, read them first). Quick recap: Spiritual & Natural Law is based on objective / universal truth, morality & property rights and karmically binding […]
Natural Law vs. Man’s Legal Law: What are you subject to?
If you haven’t please read this foundational article first. Natural Law and Man’s Law or the Legal System are NOT the same. They can be aligned (theoretically) or differ (massively) – it’s a whole spectrum! Natural Law Man’s law / Legal Moral Relativism vs. Freedom True Freedom can never exist in a society that embraces […]
Spiritual & Natural Law: What are your Rights & what’s Freedom? Why Morality matters!
While this article is written from a perspective of us being consciousness / spiritual beings, it goes beyond a purely spiritual perspective. From a spiritual perspective it is very simple, as we are all consciousness from the same source there is no right or wrong – everybody is free to make their choices (and experience […]
‘The Law of Success’ by the Indian sage Yogananda
I just read the little book ‘The Law of Success’ by the Indian monk, yogi and guru P. Yogananda. It is truly wonderful as it condenses the path to Self Realization, what true success means & how to achieve it – and what really a fulfilled life is all about. All in such simple, short but truly powerful premises! (Although simple they surely take a life time (or many) to master). I paraphrase these premises below and add my take on it. Enjoy!!
Turning Tension into Creation – the Process
Moments of tension and conflict are great opportunities to train your awareness and put the spotlight on your patterns and programs. Important: Tension is great! Don’t let your autopilot resolve tension unconsciously by executing your compensating action. If you let that happen, you will continue the suffering and the pattern will recreate the same constellation in a new format. Its key to become aware of tension, conflict or dilemmas! And the underlying beliefs creating it. Once you acknowledge them, you can make a step back and reassign the power to what you / your Higher Self really wants! The below process is an incredible tool to become aware of where your current focus and power is (remember Set A and B?), and then reattribute the focus where YOU want it to be (Vision / Endgoal)!
Identity – Who are you?
Who do you think you are? How do you self identify? Are you your job, title, family, relationship, status, gender, race, your thoughts, your feelings? Who are you? Who have you been when you were 5 years old? Who will you be in 5 years? Who are you if you were to lose your job, […]
Limiting Beliefs – What are they and how do they manifest?
In my past post, I wrote about why our beliefs literally create our reality (If you haven, read it!). Therefore, it’s of utmost importance to discover what we believe. To leave the reactive loop and wake up to Free Will and our true Self. Once you follow the process outlined here, you start discovering your wrong (default illusionary) input: your Set A of messages (unconscious believes and programs) to your Subconscious Mind. Which creates your reality if you dont consciously intervene. This process leads you to dig out your underlying beliefs, which always come back to 12 fundamental limiting beliefs, which you cannot distill further down. (Please comment if you find more, I have not so far). Let’s explore what they are, where they come from and how they manifest. To become even more objective and stop being a victim of unconscious patterns and programs.
Free Will – A Journey of Discovery!
“Education should aim at destroying Free Will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.” Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell. Free Will seems dangerous, especially to authorities? Before we discuss, why that could be the case, let’s see first what it means and what it is. “Free Will is the ability to act and make choices independent of any outside influence.” That leads to a couple of questions: Where do our actions emerge from? Why does this even matter? Do we have resp. can we gain authority about that process? What means outside influence? Its common sense that our actions determine our results. Wherever we are in life is a function of our actions (or lack thereof). And better decisions lead to better actions, which equate to better results. But where do our decisions emerge from? They are seemingly a function of what we think & feel. Which seems to put a lot of importance on what and how we think!
Truth – The Ultimate Empowerment
“And the truth shall set you free.” Bible, John 8:32. Knowledge about the true nature of reality is key to wake up from unconscious limiting believes and individual perception (you are not your thoughts and emotions) and discover true Self = who you really are. Which leads to Self respect (how can you fully respect your Self if you don’t know what it is?), the requirement for your empowerment. And your freedom. There is an inherent truth to reality, it is not individual perception and opinions (“thats my truth!”) or dogmas & belief systems (cultural religion, money, new age, government, scientism). Discovering truth means waking up from unconscious patterns and raising your consciousness. Which means nothing else but aligning your individual subjective perception of reality more and more with the actual truth of reality.
