LESS EGO / MORE SOUL

On meeting celebrities…

1. Smile, give them a chance to approach you.

2. Give them a lazy compliment, nothing too fanatic. Something along the lines of: ‘It’s a pleasure to meet you (first name). I really like what you bring to the table in the ____ industry…’ Note: Don’t ever lie when you compliment them. Just be honest. If you aren’t really a fan don’t pretend you are. Shit’s not for everybody. Remember that they are just as human as you are so if you can’t be nice stay away.

3. Excuse yourself from the conversation; give them space.

Too many people either crowd them and douse them in compliments or go to the other extreme by trying to put them down and feel insignificant. I’ve made both mistakes before; It’s embarrassing.

• People need to feel more worthy of pleasure. The more pleasure you give yourself, the more pleasure you can give another. This is true of anything – sex, power, material things etc.

• There is no such thing as ‘the wrong time’ – ever. Because everything is as it should be. Always.

• Stop worrying about how other people with view your urges. Like checking out your reflection in a mirror you pass by. It’s a natural human reaction. They can deal with it.

• If you really dig someone, there is no point in avoiding an intimate relationship with them just because you are unsure of how long it will last. Life involves taking risks. You already have a collection of great friends, you don’t need anymore. What you are looking for is another, completely different experience of love. You are never going to get that experience by playing it safe. Take the chance. If you really fuck up, you still win. You gain memory, experience and wisdom. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing lasts forever, and as Brittish India say ‘it’s so rare that we need somebody else’. You might be afraid of being left behind. But in playing it safe that is all that will ever result. Forget what might happen and allow yourself to experience what does.

• ‘Hey you do whatever you want to do – but I’m still Me’.

• You always have a choice.

• Treat everyone as you would bring up your own child. Show them acceptance and what its like to be loved unconditionally. Encourage them to use their creativity to pursue their desires. Model to them a life of freedom and what its like to live with abundance. Teach them that they are the conscious creators of their experience and for that reason alone, they can achieve anything.

• Suffering is the result of mistaken identity, the product of failing to realize your purpose and creative ability as a human being. It comes about when one does no accept that the present is the only relevant reality and that life is an experience not a classroom. We are free beings, there is no need to suffer. (CWG Book II)

• Everyone lives in their own world, however few acknowledge so. As a result the majority of the world just adopt that of their peers. In truth: your neighbor’s world is irrelevant to your life and your reality. When desires and beliefs conflict, other dimensions are created so that each individual has the opportunity to experience their own world as they would like it. But whether you get to experience that alternate reality or not, comes down to how invested you are in others experiences.

• When something good ends, let it go freely. There is more to come, for the law of abundance promises it will not be the last if it is something you continue to desire. This is particularly relevant with relationships, for holding on can often push away.

• If your intentions to have sex with someone are to feel one-ness in order to satisfy your attraction and celebrate it than you have absolutely no need to fear the aftermath/direction your relationship will take post action.

• Everyone wants more or extra but that is before we realise that enough is as good as it gets. In this modern world we are constantly overloading our body with more thinking that this translates to ‘extra care’. We think that we will feel more satisfied with more – that in ‘pampering’ ourselves we are reinforcing a feeling of abundance, but this is not so. Appreciate enough.

• ‘When you find inner peace, nothing can be the creator of our state of mind or the cause of your experience of being…but you.” Need nothing. Desire everything. Choose what shoes up. (CWG Book II pg. 151 – 153)

• When someone tries to make a statement about you – a misguided judgement that provokes you – rather than attempting to rebut it or tell them how wrong they are, accept it as their ‘choice’ of thought in that moment. It is by no means a reflection of who you are. People’s opinions change like the wind. Move on and let go – don’t hold it against them. Continue along your path doing as you do. You are what you are. Anger has no place in your reality. You are confident in who you are and as a result have no conern in the way others choose to feel, do and think.

• In a society with ‘one conciousness’ there is still room for individualism. It is like how in present society, you seek out people with common attitudes, values and beliefs so that you can act freely around wthem without having to worry about being  judged. In a society of ‘one’, people can live freely like this reguardless of individual preferences. Everyone would recognise the importance of and beauty in difference and happliy acknowledge that, ‘that which serves one, may not serve another’ – in other words: each to their own.

• ‘The first question when you encounter another in any circumstance should always be ‘what do I want here?’ (CWG Book II pg 157)

• Help the ‘less fortunate’ by sharing wisdom and encouraging them to be independant.

• If you  live with kindness there is no fear in being yourself. People love individualtiy and honesty – they are drawn to these qualities through mystery. Declare who your are to the world without fear, because you are interesting! People generally give one another ‘the benfit of the doubt’ until proved otherwise anyway.

* Please note, when I talk about not worrying about others, that does not mean failing to help another in need. I’m talking about unneccessary concern – thinking that you know what is best for another when really you have no idea – how could you?

We are all humans, and I believe that we should care and help for our contempries just as the age-old line goes to ‘treat others how you would like to be treated’. I am simply saying do not forget about yourself. Failure to meat one’s own needs leads only to unhappyness, and an unhappy person can help no-one. We have to love ourselves to be able to love another.

‘Just after the sun burned out
and all who were left
realized this was “it”
things finally got back to normal…
sleeping in the grass,
eating with your hands,
killing your enemies,
and sex at all hours for no damn good reason
right out in the open!’

Hi I’m Jiveny, from Brisbane, Australia.

I have created this blog with a vision to share my wicked and raw thoughts. Just putting it all out there, for you to explore. See what you get out of it…

I plan to keep this blog as uncensored and open as possible. Please understand that growing is an ongoing process of learning. And I am documenting these thoughts as I learn. So bear in mind, older posts may not be accurate of who I am today. I will contradict myself (don’t we all at some point in time?) but i am happy for you to see that. It’s a human nature after all.

I believe ideas are the way of the future.

Like you, I have brilliant ideas.

Read them, accept or reject. I don’t care, but the book is open for you to consider.

This where I keep it real.

Enjoy.
