Some Parents Shouldn’t Have Kids
Recently, I keep coming across kids from well-to-do families but are given such miserly allowance so much so that they have to work part-time or scrimp and save. What in the blue hell is up with that?
Let’s dissect this.
One probable reason is that a lot of rich parents have this unquestioned fear that if they give enough money to their children, they will somehow become spoilt and bratty. That is not true. Teach the child how to spend his money. Proper education is the solution, not planting a scarcity mentality.
Another reason is selfishness. A lot of people are selfish, and that includes parents. Many parents are selfish in giving their children not just money, but also love, care and support. Even parents have this illusion that They are They, and Their Children is Their Children. Once again, the human Ego.
In the grand scheme of things, money is not important. Becoming more conscious is. Planting the sense of lack in children will just add another distraction called ‘money’ into their path.
Thanks for listening,

Something New…
Hey guys!
I just bought <Power vs. Force> by David R. Hawkins and so far it’s a damn good read. I’ll update more as I go through it.
I’m in the middle of some new realizations and I’ll share when I can test that it’s really true. Let’s just say it has something to do with monkeys, chickens and bishops. *wink*
Till then, stay light

Fake Confidence vs True Confidence
The problem with starting a blog years after I started down this path is that I’ll leave out a lot of the more fundamental stuff that I figured out/realized long ago.
One of them relates to confidence.
For most people, the confidence that they know is a result of knowing or believing that he is better than somebody or something.
I am (or I can finally be) confident because:
-
I am richer than him
-
I am more handsome than him
-
I lay more chicks than him
-
More people like me
-
I have better results than that ITE guy
-
I am better than I was
It is obvious that this type of confidence is conditional and therefore not real. In the absence of the conditions that gave a person his confidence, he will feel diminished. For example, someone who prides himself for his good looks is not going to be confident anymore when he is disfigured by an acid splash.
True confidence is a natural state. It is a result of knowing the falsehood of any of the above conditions.
No conditions can be the real You. Whether a person is or think he is worthy/unworthy, beautiful/ugly or rich/poor, it is ultimately not Him.
In the realization of the True Self, there is True Confidence. They are synonymous.
Hope that makes sense.

A Great Post by Brent Smith
There’s a Hindu legend that says we were all once gods. But eventually we abused our powers. Brahma, the chief god, decided to punish us by taking away our divinity. Brahma called a meeting of the other chief gods to figure out where to hide our holiness. One god suggested hiding it deep beneath the earth.
“No,” Brahma said, “man will just figure out a way to tunnel miles below the surface.”
Another god suggested hiding our holiness at the bottom of the ocean.
“No,” Brahma responded, “man will just learn how to dive to the seabed.”
A third god came up with the idea of placing our divinity on top of a towering mountain.
“No,” Brahma said, “man will just climb every tall mountain on the planet until he finds it.”
Stumped, the other gods told Brahma they gave up-there didn’t seem to be any place to hide our holiness and keep it out of our reach.
“Wait,” Brahma said with a smile. “I’ve got it. We’ll hide man’s holiness deep within himself-he’ll never think to look for it there.” Since then, we’ve spent ages digging below the earth, diving to the sea floor, and climbing tall mountains, looking for something that’s already within us.
I’ve met a lot of unhappy people in the course of my life and you all have one thing in common…you constantly search outside yourself for happiness. When things get bad you convince yourself that moving to a different city, changing jobs or dating hotter women is the obvious answer. But after making these changes, that familiar restlessness feeling starts again. You’re stunned to learn that wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you acquire and whomever you’re with aren’t working. Your unhappiness has actually followed you. In reality, there is no place to hide…you’ll have to deal with it right now where you are today. The good news is this means you have the potential to be happy. The bad news is your happiness is your own responsibility. You’re the only one who can allow yourself to be happy. No one and nothing else can do it for you. Not even me or my newsletters.
So instead of rushing to leave this life behind by moving out of town, leave this life behind by dealing with it now and changing what you don’t like about it.
Then, if you decide you want an adventure by moving to a new city you’ll be doing it for the right reasons, have an actual chance of succeeding and you won’t be stalked by your old adversary.
Socializing
Ninety percent of all people’s activities are utterly useless, What you call socializing, talking, meeting people, is almost all rubbish. It is good that it drops, when you become alert it drops.
Rather than talking the whole day, gossiping, you become a person of few words, but these few words will be significant. Now, only real relationships will remain.
A few deep intimate relationships are enough, that are really fulfilling. In fact, people who don’t have intimate relationships usually have many relationships to substitute. You can have one thousand friends that will not make for one real one.
Sadly, that’s what most people ever does. Talk all day about insignificant stuff and have friends like how many children a rat can have in its life time. They think that quantity can be a substitute for quality. It never does.
Kar
LOL!
You guys noticed the new disclaimer for this blog? I thought it rocks. GJ Kar.
On a side note, you guys saw the Edison Chen scandal photos? My ego has a thing against hairy untamed pussies.
Time to meditate on that.
Anyway I have been distracting myself, and generally just stopped meditating and reading aummy books. It just happened naturally one day so I thought “hey, let’s let everything be as it is”.
Surrender to What Is.
