Eckhart Tolle's "What if Ducks had minds like Humans?" analogy

Wouldn't it be excellent if humans could "let go of negative energy" the same way ducks in nature do?

How is that you ask? How does that make sense? Let me then elaborate on my hopefully thought provoking questions,now that I've peaked your curiosity.

The point of this blog, I humbly mention, is to provide you with hopefully thought-provoking insights that might lead to an "AHA" moment of your spiritual journey, your evolving journey of consciousness. I like to call it self-directed maturity. After all, what is maturity? It's an ever expanding wisdom, or 'prosperity' consciousness I beleive.

Yes, if you're an Eckhart Tolle book fan, and have read his "A New Earth" book, this blog post will be an interesting mention of his work for you.

Eckhart uses an analogy of ducks flapping their wings to "release negative energy" after ducks have a disagreement or argument. Ducks don't of course have ego's so they don't 'carry around negative baggage'. If two ducks on a pond get into a tussle, afterwards they vigorously flap their wings to release any negative energy so it doesn't get pent up within them after the tussle.
When this 'wing-flapping' is done with, they swim off in opposite directions, once again resuming the calm, tranquil, serene life of a duck.

Mature Insight:
********************************************
Since humans have ego's, if we "psychologically flap our wings" to release negative energy so it doesn't accumulate and build up. Our true nature is really joyous emotions from a state of being, just like a duck returns to enjoying their true nature after a tussle.
********************************************
Eckhart points out it's almost as if the duck's 'tussle' never even happened! Afterall, they are by nature, positive, peaceful creatures. So they simply return to enjoying the moment of "Now", as they go back to just 'being'- ducks. What a great example from nature!

Remember that ego is false self, so if it generates any negative thought - negative thoughts are not our true nature, they only result from the ego - the body will respond with a corresponding emotion. To the body, any thought the mind generates is real, factual in external existence or not; even if it's only imagined. It's why we feel stress!

The solution to release negativity then for humans? One way, as Eckhart points out is to 'psychologically flap our wings'.......lol! I think it's a cool and wise analogy, - it get's the point across!

Love from the Universe,

Inner Freedom-The Depth of Your Being; How do you FEEL, with Respect to What your Doing, with Respect to What YOU Know?

How are you? I mean really, how are you? Are you doing fine? Are you on the way to prosperity? Are you enjoying prosperity, well being?

I want you to maybe take a deeper look within yourself. Go beyond your thoughts. Realize YOU ARE the 'awareness' of being aware of you, your humanity.

That awareness - your 'witnessing' of your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own beingness is your consciousness. It's your conscious awareness.

I've noticed as I evolve myself; evolve my consciousness, that it yields to greater inner freedom, where I began to really get a sense of the infinite vastness of the potential of inner freedom available to oneself, through the journey of self directed evolution, because I want that inner freedom!

Maybe I'm not telling you anything new. Maybe this is philisophical jargon to some. If you are still reading this though, it must 'twig' with you a bit or maybe quite a bit. Perhaps this concept of inner freedom really hits a nerve with you.

I've had friends in my life previously that were revelling in their own inner freedom. Wowww! I noticed how intricate these fine people were, and I so admired it! I realize now, they had simply conquered their own inner self, and were basking in the joyousness of inner freedom!

To sum up my thoughts in a nut-shell, I have really pondered the traditional or conventional definitions of success, as I look deeper and deeper within myself.

True success is, or seems to be self-mastery; where truth,real truth, universal truth; "authenticity" is the ONLY guiding influence of our human experience.

The most gratifying thing one gains, from really what becoming your authentic self is,is you gain the peace of mind which surpasses all understanding.

Why is that? It's being true to oneself. It's having integrity, it's being congruent in your life, it's being transparent, it's being fearless, invincibly sensitive, it's what creation; infinite intelligence, meant you to be.

It's coming from LOVE, as opposed to responding from false evidence that appears real, which is fear.

Love is coming from a standpoint of what you have within, and sometime making decisions based on the concept of what you'd like to have in your life.

It's going beyond ego of course, which is the false sense of self, to the true sense of self, which perhaps has been obscured in the mire of the ego.

It would be a tragedy, to reach one's death bed and perhaps to never have known the infinite depth of our being, wouldn't you agree?

Shine the light of your consciousness on your OWN BEING. Shine the light of your consciousness on your own 'inner resistance' Shine the light of your consciousness on those 'outer edges, outer limits of your beleifs and realize that those are all self created! The simple act of shining your inner light; that light of your consciousness can melt resistance, can disolve fears, can crumble inner barriers that are mostly ficticious anyway.

Nature shows us a wonderful example of perfect harmony, so to acheive that deliscious harmony within yourself, use your own wonderful human nature, the AWESOME POWER of YOUR own human consciousness to shine the light on those false limits you, we, create for ourselves unknowingly, through self unawareness of our own true and wonderful nature.

This universe is indeed a benevolent universe!

Make your inner universe even more benevolent! You will realize heaven on earth..... your dream!

Love from the universe! - My inner universe!

The Magnificence Within You

I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"What lies before you, and what lies behind you, is of small consequence to what lies within you"

I've noticed that when you are at the so called limits of your beleif system, in other words if you are challenging your self maximally, you might reach a point in your feelings - the indicator of your internal guidance system, where you feel maybe the challenge is beyond your scope of capability or comfort zone.

I took on a challenge of this nature recently with my work. I changed 'jobs' to put it plainly, to increase my income. The work I'm doing has huge potential, yet productivity is a challenge unto itself.

My point being is I hurled myself into a type of work where being productive means facing a quantum number of variables, any one of which can 'trip up' your productivity. Yet I continue on with these motivating quotes in mind, because I know I'm stretching and growing.

Here's another beautiful quote about human potential, which I heard the great Les Brown say. I beleive he mentioned Marianne White quote this originally:

"In life you always be faced with a series of GOD ORDAINED POSSIBILITIES, BRILLIANTLY DISGUISED AS PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES. Love that!


I've always said "All the answers are within, simply look within." PH

A Perfect Manifesting Mindset (by Abraham)

I love this; one of my personal goals is to acheive excellence in manifesting skills. Essentially, I am training myself, with the help of others, to become a "Mental Engineer"

Here's our friend Abraham's perspective on 'a perfect mindset':

I'm really good at what I do. Whatever I want comes to be. The Universe always has my back. Everything that I want unfolds easily. It's the most exhilarating thing I've ever done. Every day I wake up excited to do more of it. The clarity that pours through me is invigorating. The base of knowledge that I hold is intoxicating, because I always know exactly what I am doing, and I love every minute of it!

Abraham'

WOWWWW!!!! You have to love it! Can you imagine living at that level? Every moment?? I Can!!!! That's 'mental excellence' !!!!

Allow Infinite Intelligence to Guide You

In my mind, Infinite Intelligence IS scource energy.

One meditation I use on a weekly basis,if not on a daily basis, is the following:

The principle of "right action" and divine order govern my entire life.

I know my major premise is based on all the eternal truths of life. Therefor I know and feel and beleive that my subjective mind; my deeper mind, is responding 100% to the "positive nature of my conscious mind thinking".

I know infinite intelligence gives me all desires, all ideas, and leads, guides and reveals to me the perfect plan for the unfolding of these desires.

So I can feel the deeper wisdom of my subconscious mind is now responding, what I feel and claim within, is expressed in the without. There is balance, equilibrium and equanimity; peace of mind, power and compassion.

My real conviction is setting free the majesty and glory of my subconscious mind and I rejoice that it is so!

Thanks to the great Dr. Joeseph Murphy for the above meditation; it's comprised of parts of many of his meditations in his excellent book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind". This book is 'featured' on this blog.

Love from the universe,
Peter!

Maintain Integrity & Mind Sovereignty

During a conversation with a friend this evening, I spoke about how essential it is to maintain sovereignty of one's mind. If one doesn't have sovereignty, the mind can be influenced toward someone else agenda, sometime's quite unfavorably. I let it happen to me a few years back, so I want you, the reader,to learn from MY mistake.

True integrity is being 'present' in the moment, true integrity I think is being mindful of 'being'; ie: being present in the moment, which if done effectively, yields to one 'sovereignty' over one's own mind while remaining principled in your actions

My friends Diane Hochman and Joe 'Big Hat' Schroeder, being the unassuming and helpful social activists that they are, always advice people to become the influence, not the influenced! Being the influence IS 'having sovereignty' of your mind.

I have said or tweeted recently on twitter, "Stand within your silent power and maintain INTEGRITY". That is a friendly 'relateable' way of saying to someone, stay in charge of your mind. Maintain spiritual sovereignty!

Added perspective: I just began watching a Mind Cleaning and Healing DVD that I own called Zero Limits III by Joe Vitale and Mark Ryan, when it hit me, one of the main reasons for watching this subconscious mind clearing and cleaning DVD is to guarantee myself sovereignty over my own mind.

Ok, so what's the big deal about keeping sovereignty of one's mind you might be saying to yourself????

Here's the deal! This morning I was listening to the audio version of "The Science of Becoming Great." Yes, I am a true keener on self-directed self development, so this flash of insight ran through my brain,

MatureInsight:
***********************************************
Integrity + Mind Sovereignty + Immersion/Reprogramming + Commitment + Beleif + Detachment + Trust in the Process = CLEARITY = Authentic Self
************************************************
Joe Schroeder and Diane over at the Million Mind March phrase it like this: Become Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof! I kinda like that.

I welcome any comments or reply's to this or any of these blog-posts.
I sure hope you find these posts helpful
