Tylenol Kills Almost 500 People A Year!

July 26, 2010 admin No comments

Every month someone tells me they use Tylenol Pm to help them sleep. This in spite of the fact that over 26,000 people a year are hospitalized from adverse reactions to the drug.  And that almost 500 people in the US alone die from it! Please do not consider Tylenol PM a sleep medication. This is dangerous.

Ironically, people worry about the dangers of nutritional supplements, when the data shows not a single death reported from the use of nutritional supplements.

Gabatrol can help you sleep better. When you reduce stress and anxiety, its easier for your mind to let go and drift into deep, restful sleep. Plus its a safe, healthy alternative to risky OTC and RX medications.

Kill Your Self! The Easy Way To End All Your Problems

July 14, 2010 admin No comments

My brother has this fascination with a psychological theory called ‘the denial of death’ that posits much of what humans do sociologically and psychologically is to deny their death.  Humans, as conscious creatures, are the only poor animals that can be tortured by thoughts in their mind. A mind they obviously have little control over (much to their denial of this fact too…but try yourself to just stop your thoughts for even 30 seconds! You cannot do it.)

People look for endless ways to lose themselves – to not have to really face themselves. Because the truth is there is no real self – its an artificial construct. In essence the self is already dead! How ironic! I mean after all, is a robot alive? No wonder someone once said, ‘let the dead bury the dead’.

The ’self is a reflection of the group, for in essence the self only exists in association with other ’selfs’. So we run around to various activities, losing ourselves in work, the kids, music, sex, drugs and alcohol, on and on, anything but to have to be still.  Stillness is painful. Painfully similar to …death.

How much better my brother would be if he took his learning and applied it on a personal level. All our anger, stress, anxiety frustration, and other negative emotions are because in essence – we deny death. Our ego assumes it will go on forever.  So we have a right to be angry and stressed because to endure forever in these situations of pain deserves our negative reactions.

We all are like little David, out of our mind, asleep to reality, and convinced this is real life. And that its going to be forever!

But if we were to awake to the fact that relatively speaking, we will be dead tomorrow, it might cause us to shift perspective.  I always remind myself on difficult days “What is there to worry about? I am going to be dead tomorrow!” and the shift begins. (In case you missed it, 70 short years on a cosmic scale is but a flash in the pan!)

Or said another way, “I am on vacation today, its my last day, and I fly home tomorrow. So what am I worried about? (Nothing).” It helps.

Every prophet from Jesus to the Buddha spoke of killing your self. what the heck do you think “Born Again” means? All wise men pointed to the fact that until you kill the ’self’ aka ego, you will forever endure the pain and suffering of this world. Some people love hell, they really do. And its easier when you are young, or rich, or successful. The trappings of this world bring you down deeper into it, and when its good, boy is it good! But what goes up must come down, and as they say “Oh how the mighty have fallen” (and sorry…”I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” lol)

Start killing your self today! Its easy, get some rope and string a noose…just kidding! The only way to escape – the only way out – is in! You need to go inside the hole, the emptyness of self – to discover the whole. And in the process, magic will happen!

Start by doing some walking meditations, in the woods, alone – just focusing on one thing – each foot as it hits the ground. Its so simple, I bet you still cannot do it! Because you are possessed by the self that tells you do ANYHING but kill it!

The Holy Grail Of Happiness

July 7, 2010 admin 2 comments

How An Atheist Got Into Heaven:

Strange title? Not really, for once you understand that what you are seeking really cannot be put into words, then there are many ways to describe it. After all, what is heaven? A place? Or a feeling?  Your biggest error is thinking once you see yourself in heaven, then you will feel happy. But that is not true, heaven is not a place, at least not in this universe. But it can be a feeling. So heaven is the same thing as The Holy Grail of Happiness: its the unconditional feeling of happiness, joy, bliss, love etc that is the very fabric of reality.

Most people are stuck in primitive ways of understanding concepts like God, heaven, good, evil, etc. which for as much joy as they bring, also bring their opposite.  These people are ‘of this world’ – the world of love and hate, war and peace, etc etc. But what we all seek is the freedom from all this, to be ‘in this world, but not of it…’ – to be unconditionally happy.

If life itself is inextricably tied to death (it is), then war is required for peace, and love too, is married to hate.  So too acceptance creates rejection, and happiness brings with it sadness. This is what reality down here is.  Society – the collective ‘ego’ of millions of individuals, tell us otherwise. Just like our own ego lies to us (scientific studies prove this), society is built upon the notion that ‘we all just want peace, love, happiness, etc – all the good stuff. None of the bad stuff. We are after all, good people…’.

But if everyone thinks they are good and righteous, why is the world so full of all the bad stuff too?  Oh yea, society tells us “we are good, but other people are ‘bad, etc…’” or the perpetual victim mentality also explains it away. If you still believe all this, then stop reading.

There is the possibility in each and everyone of us, to realize, and live from – another perspective.  Free from the pull of opposites in this world, or as I like to say – ‘to be the eye of the hurricane’. (the eye of a hurricane is typically calm and quiet with no danger).

How do you get there? First realize that such a place exists. Yes Dorothy, Oz was real, and yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus – they exist as long as you beleive they do.  These places, like heaven, and I might add if you read enough about quantum physics- this world too, are all fabrications of consciousness.  Fabrications of mind. Fabrications, or creations, that we relate to through our feelings. So this place you seek is a feeling inside your heart and mind.

How To Walk On Water or Get To Heaven- Right Now: ‘Click your heels three times, saying ‘there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…’

Just kidding. Well, sort of. There is a grain of truth in that famous line by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. What she was doing to get home was focusing her attention. Your greatest power is will power, or attention. So great in fact, that you cannot even imagine how great.  I believe, in fact, it is so great that contained within this power of yours is the ability to walk on water and to move mountains! The only question is, “How far down the rabbit whole hole can you go Alice” in your quest for Wonderland? The truth is Alice was already (always) in Wonderland, she just needed to go deeper to realize it.

Many great therapists work their magic simply by helping their clients become more present. By using focus, clients are able to become aware of the polarity of the issue causing them pain, and see that both good and bad dwell within the issue. Only their perspective shapes which side they see.  With this new awareness, they see they can appreciate both sides and as such neutralize their strong sense of emotional pain and restore harmony to their life.

So on a more practical level by working on your will power, your focus, attention, its all the same thing – you develop the ability to choose happiness in spite of your current emotional feelings.  In truth, being negative comes natural – its due to entropy, a natural force in the universe that makes things fall apart. Since this is very threatening to fragile little creatures such as we are, being negative and afraid is how we protect ourselves. But it comes with a high price.

But with practice we can develop our power to overcome this natural way of feeling – and in doing so banish stress, anxiety and all negative emotions from our mind. It’s not easy, but with practice it become possible. As we experience this power on deeper levels, we realize a shift in our awareness of what exactly this world is, and why we are down here.  Everything makes sense when we return to innocence. (Innocence by the way refers to ‘In no sense’ for it refers to the awareness that transcends all senses).

Statements like ” What does it profit a man to gain the entire world and lose his soul?” by Jesus, and “Thus she remains serene in the midst of sorrow…because she has given up helping, she is the peoples greatest help…” by Lao Tzu, all make sense on a deeper level. Even statements by the quantum mystic Depak Chopra now make sense “Turning back within myself, I create again and again.”

While understanding this is the first step, the key it to practice it enough so that we live from this power in each and every moment. But we have an enemy dead set against our quest: our very own ego.  This is why “most men live lives of quiet desperation and go to their grave the song still in them”.

Practicing Unconditional Happiness:

How do you practice unconditional happiness? Simple – by doing nothing! That’s right, its so easy, all you have to do is nothing! So just get comfortable and sit. Sit and focus your attention on your breath. Yes, it sounds like meditation, but that word is often what holds people back. So lets call this practice: practicing unconditional happiness.

So if, like Bono of U2, you feel you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, or that you are ‘running to stand still…’ (running around doing stuff all day just so you can relax at the end, only to get up the next day and do it all over again) – realize there is a way out of the madness.  Committ just 10 minutes a day to sit and do nothing, just practice unconditional happiness and discover the Holy Grail for yourself.
