(From same site as previous post)1. Marijuana Causes Brain DamageStudies of human populations of marijuana users have shown no evidence of brain damage. For example, two studies from 1977, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed no evidence of brain damage in heavy users of marijuana.That same year, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially came out in favor of decriminalizing marijuana. That's not the sort of thing you'd expect if the AMA thought marijuana damaged the brain.2. Marijuana Damages The Reproductive SystemStudies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system.3. Marijuana Is A "Gateway" Drug It Leads To Hard DrugsThis is one of the more persistent myths. A real world example of what happens when marijuana is readily available can be found in Holland.The Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 1970s. Since then, hard drug use, heroin and cocaine, have declined substantially. If marijuana really were a gateway drug, one would have expected use of hard drugs to have gone up, not down.This apparent "negative gateway" effect has also been observed in the United States. Studies done in the early 1970s showed a negative correlation between use of marijuana and use of alcohol.A 1993 Rand Corporation study that compared drug use in states that had decriminalized marijuana versus those that had not, found that where marijuana was more available, the states that had decriminalized, hard drug abuse as measured by emergency room episodes decreased.In short, what science and actual experience tell us is that marijuana tends to substitute for the much more dangerous hard drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and heroin.4. Marijuana Suppresses The Immune SystemInterestingly, two studies done in 1978 and one done in 1988 showed that hashish and marijuana may have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied.5. Marijuana Is Much More Dangerous Than TobaccoSmoked marijuana contains about the same amount of carcinogens as does an equivalent amount of tobacco. It should be remembered, however, that a heavy tobacco smoker consumes much more tobacco than a heavy marijuana smoker consumes marijuana.If marijuana were legal, it would be more economical to have cannabis food and drinks, which are totally non-carcinogenic. This is in stark contrast with "smokeless" tobacco products like snuff which can cause cancer of the mouth and throat.6. Legal Marijuana Would Cause Carnage On The HighwaysAlthough marijuana, when used to intoxication, does impair performance in a manner similar to alcohol, actual studies of the effect of marijuana on the automobile accident rate suggest that it poses less of a hazard than alcohol.When a random sample of fatal accident victims was studied, it was initially found that marijuana was associated with relatively as many accidents as alcohol.In other words, the number of accident victims intoxicated on marijuana relative to the number of marijuana users in society gave a ratio similar to that for accident victims intoxicated on alcohol relative to the total number of alcohol users.However, a closer examination of the victims revealed that around 85% of the people intoxicated on marijuana were also intoxicated on alcohol.For people only intoxicated on marijuana, the rate was much lower than for alcohol alone. This finding has been supported by other research using completely different methods.For example, an economic analysis of the effects of decriminalization on marijuana usage found that states that had reduced penalties for marijuana possession experienced a rise in marijuana use and a decline in alcohol use with the result that fatal highway accidents decreased.7. Marijuana "Flattens" Human Brain WavesThis is an out-and-out lie perpetrated by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. A few years ago, they ran a TV ad that purported to show, first, a normal human brain wave, and second, a flat brain wave from a 14-year-old "on marijuana".When researchers called up the TV networks to complain about this commercial, the Partnership had to pull it from the air. It seems that the Partnership faked the flat "marijuana brainwave".In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha wave activity. Alpha waves are associated with meditative and relaxed states which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.8. Marijuana Is More Potent Today Than In The PastThis is not a myth, on average the THC content of marijuana tested from 2000-2005 was about two to three times as high as it was in the late 1960's and early 1970's.9. Marijuana Impairs Short Term MemoryThis is true but misleading. Any impairment of short-term memory disappears when one is no longer under the influence of marijuana.Often, the short-term memory effect is paired with a reference to Dr. Heath's poor rhesus monkeys to imply that the condition is permanent.10. Marijuana Lingers In The Body Like DDTThis is also true but misleading. Cannabinoids are fat soluble as are innumerable nutrients (like Vitamin A) and, yes, some poisons like DDT.11. There Are Over A Thousand Chemicals In Marijuana SmokeAgain, true but misleading. The 31 August 1990 issue of the magazine Science notes that there are over 800 volatile chemicals present in roasted coffee.12. No One Has Ever Died Of A Marijuana OverdoseThis is true. Scientists have conclude that the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. You would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned.In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5,000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year, and no one ever dies of marijuana overdoses.

The smoking of marijuana initiates many processes in the body, mind and even soul, depending upon the intent with which it is used. In Part 1 many of these were mentioned in passing, and will be explored in some detail in this issue. It is very important for people to understand that marijuana, like other teacher plants, is properly called an “entheogen” or “agent in God’, as a psychoactive substance with spiritual properties. This may surprise most smokers to hear, but it is true nonetheless. It is a fact that when marijuana is smoked with the right intent, (a progressive, spiritual focus) that it can raise the user up to higher levels of consciousness. Among the effects of its’ consciousness expanding properties, the following are very notable;;1) A gaining of “chi” or energy in the physical body and aura.2) The raising of vibration according to the potency and vibration of the buds smoked.3) A crystallization of awareness upon itself, or put another way, greater clarity.4) An opening of the chakras and an enhancement of personal psychic power. Not only is “ESP” increased, but so are the intuitive powers of foresight, creativity and inventiveness.5) An aid to getting into better alignment with one’s own soul, Nature and God.6) Provides a common high vibration when smoked by more than one person at a time, allowing enhanced, group psychic rapport, (group mind in the high).Like all other entheogens, marijuana is properly considered a meditational and/or prayer aid, which allows the user many unique opportunities to grow and gain personal power. As a matter of fact, this herbs’ full potential cannot be fully accessed unless a serious and focused practice of meditation is employed, while both in and out of the high. I recommend using the World Mind Society’s basic “Chakra Meditation” (see the Library at http://www.eoni.com/~visionquest) in conjunction with the smoke. This fundamental inner focus will allow you much greater access to the powers and advantages listed above. It will also make the high much higher than it would normally go, while using less smoke to get there. The key factor here is what we INTEND while in the high. Intent is what we make every decision with, and it is also the key ingredient of the true self, (consciousness/soul). Before taking a puff, we should be at least basically clear about what the intention will be in the use of the smoke. I recommend two primary intentions in this regard to start. One is “energy gaining” and the other is “vibration raising”. Each of these is individually powerful, but when combined, they are extremely potent for consciousness expansion/spiritual progress. The gaining of greater energy and vibration allows the smoker to then accomplish other spiritual feats, both internally and externally. They provide the “basic building blocks” or MEANS by which other focuses can be manifest. All of this takes serious inner work, just like any other spiritual path. Please remember that although marijuana can greatly help you, it cannot do the essential inner work necessary for your spiritual growth. YOU have to decide to make that progress with dedication, and then actually LIVE OUT those changes in daily life. Remember also that any REAL shift of intent that has lasting value, is accompanied by a corresponding shift of inner state and outer action. The real challenge is not in getting extremely high, but in stabilizing such states both body-wide and socially, so that they are made PERMANENT.The basic principle of natural law behind these words is;The mastery of intent is the mastery of life.***1) The Gaining of ChiIn China, life energy is known as “Chi”, in Japan it is called, “Ki”, in India, “Prana” and “Kundalini” In the West it has been called, “orgone” and, “negatively charged ions”. There are other names used around the world for this universal energy, referred to frequently in various martial arts and healing systems, such as “Reiki”, “Tai chi”, “Pranayama”, “Kigong”, various yogas, and others. When marijuana is smoked, it opens the chakras and raises your vibration. This acts to increase energy flow into the users’ physical and energetic bodies.Chi is gained normally with each in-breath that we take. It accounts largely for the degree to which we feel either vitalized or tired. Standing in running water such as an ocean surf, stream or river, and even a common shower, acts to restore a measure of one’s chi when tired, which is why doing these activities feels refreshing. The same can be done via the wind and through direct sunlight. Everything we are as physical bodies, and everything in nature is composed of subatomic particles. The flow of electrons makes all of our electronic and electrical devices work, not to mention our own nervous systems. We’re surrounded by a sea of subatomic particles, which particle physics refers to as “fields” of energy. This it ultimately calls, as a sum total, “The Unified Field”. Unified Field physics was first introduced to Western science by Albert Einstein, and yet this area of study was common knowledge in ancient India some 7-10 thousand years ago, due to their direct perception of it’s reality. We too, can directly perceive the reality of the Unified Field through meditation, reflecting the truth of such statements as “we are all one”. The flow of subatomic particles also accounts largely for our shared, felt emotions with one another, an ability commonly known as “sharing vibes” or as “mutual psychic effects”. When we smoke marijuana or take other entheogens, these psychic, energetic streams of energy are enhanced from person to person, thereby allowing us greater opportunity to “commune” with one another, even at the level of soul to soul. A “contact high” is just such an example, one that can be mutually raised for mutual benefits. There will be more on this later.Therefore, chi can be best understood by the Western mind as the flow of particles both into and out of our being, much like that of any electrical system. There is some measure of chi in anything physical, but it’s presence is particularly marked in living things. The basis of molecules is the atom. The basis for the atom is the electron and proton. The basis of these particles are even smaller elements of matter until we reach a level of existence that is pure energy, (chi). Our own bodies are chi and vibration transceivers, just as a transceiving radio both sends and receives signals. Each part of our body in fact, sends out and receives energy from the environment, which is then received most readily by the corresponding body part(s) in other people. This fact is due to the principle of resonance, and is particularly noticeable in chakra to chakra interpersonal relations. We live as very permeable beings that are naturally sensitive to our environment, and this is primarily registered in terms of feeling. Because of our energetic permeability, we can be easily influenced by the feelings of others or by fields of energy at large. Wild places like forests and other areas where living things abound, are ideal places to restore our chi. Cities generally deplete our supply of this vital energy, especially in those areas where few trees are planted. It is wise then, to smoke marijuana in natural areas whenever possible, so as to enhance the availability of chi when it is drawn into the body during the high.What to Do;After taking a puff, focus on your energy level. One of the first things you’ll notice is that it increases after smoking marijuana, especially if you smoke in an environment that is filled with chi, such as woods, beach or other wild area. Stay focused on your energy level while in the high. First, observe your, “starting energy level” after the first puff. Then imagine, in terms of feeling, what “one level of energy higher” than that would be/feel like. Intend this superior level of energy body-wide by staying focused upon it, and simply “moving” your state, (of consciousness) there. INTENT is always the key in changing our consciousness, as well as doing anything in the physical realm. Experiment with your intent in the gaining of chi. Notice what works and what does not. Remember that in any inner work, self knowledge is key.For more advanced instructions, see the WMS, ‘Chi Gaining Meditation” at http://www.eoni.com/~visionquestThe high acts to draw environmental energy into the body like a magnet. Although this process is automatic to some degree, it can be consciously increased if we help it along, to astonishing levels of vitality. In various advanced martial arts and meditational regimens like yoga, the practitioner is taught to draw chi into themselves for the sake of greater fitness, fighting ability, alertness and spiritual realization. Many have become adept at the drawing of this energy from the environment, accounting largely for their extraordinary feats of strength, endurance and spiritual insight. The high of marijuana allows an opportunity to learn this ability at an accelerated rate.2) The Raising of VibrationPerhaps the most obvious of marijuanas’ effects is the vibrational quality of the smoke known as, “the high”. Remember that when we speak of “high” in this context, we literally mean “a high frequency” of being, just as the UHF radio band is of a higher frequency than is FM. The high has a literal and very relevant reality to the quality of our lives, and in fact all life on this planet. Marijuana is thus properly known as a, “priceless gift of nature” to humanity. The high is a sacred thing, and shares many properties with that state of being known as “love” as well as sexual pleasure. For this reason it has been widely used as an aphrodesiac throughout much of recorded history, but it has also been used for an even higher and more satisfying purpose…that of raising one’s entire vibrational level of consciousness.What to Do;Upon inhalation of a puff, focus on the feelings of the high itself throughout the body, rather than the usual stream of thoughts. This in itself will tend to amplify the vibrational level of your state of consciousness. . Learn about the high by observing the feelings of it closely, body-wide. You’ll soon realize that the high can be raised at will, by using your INTENT. Intend that the high get progressively higher by degrees. Initially observe the “starting high” after the first puff. Then imagine in terms of feeling, what “one step higher”, (in feeling) would be like. Intend this superior level of high body-wide by staying focused upon it, and simply “moving” your state, (of consciousness) there. The high, just like any other state of consciousness can be consciously shifted according to desire and ability. The high of marijuana can be made progressively higher and higher at will, and without known limits. It can therefore be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled as a matter of progressive intent. The main limit on this is our own self imposed fears which tend to say, “Should we really be this high?” and “How will I relate to others if I stay in such a state?” We’ll talk about those things later in this series.Let’s be very clear about the fact that when the word “vibration” is used in the context of consciousness, it refers to the “pitch” of feeling we’re holding at any given moment. Low feelings are rightly understood as being of low vibration, (such as depression) while high feelings are accurately referred to as being or “higher vibration”, (such as those states such as happiness, elation, “peak” experiences”, joy, orgasm, etc.). It is not at all difficult for even the beginning smoker to clearly feel the fact that smoked marijuana is of a high vibration. In Chinese medicine, all foods and herbs are known to have their characteristic vibration, which when ingested, impart that aspect to some degree to the body. This is only part of the reason that foods and herbs are viewed by such healing systems as “medicines” and not just nutrition. Marijuana is no exception to this rule, and is a supreme spiritual, mental and physical medicine when used with the right intent.“Vibration”, like “chi” is a term that refers to something real and concrete, not mystical and unknowable. Most things spiritual are often misperceived as mysterious, when in fact true spirituality is very real, matter of fact and practical.. In terms of a scientific understanding, physics describes vibration as the number of oscillations per second, (Hertz) that an energetic system is moving at. In essence, vibration is synonymous with frequency, and in terms of the experienced high, with “feeling pitch or level”. Therefore, the high of marijuana can be better understood as high vibration = high frequency = high feelings. The feelings we experience with the high are truly of a high vibration, and the advantages of this are more profound than just the upliftment of mood. They include better health, increased energy, higher manifest intelligence, (yes, when you feel good you can think better) greater wisdom, (since we’re more motivated to apply truth to our lives, due to the inspirational aspect of the high) greater body-mind-soul alignment, etc.The high of marijuana is a sacred and formidably useful herbal tool, for the accomplishment of many things. Foremost among these is the expansion of consciousness. Though this may sound like an indefinable or mysterious statement to the Western mind, it is a very concrete and real thing with great advantages, for the individual who accomplishes it. Consciousness expands by degrees, and when this has happened enough times a person is said to have, “attained enlightenment”. Consciousness is expanded by raising one’s level of personal energy and vibration, (we’ve talked about these briefly) as well as through increased clarity, through right intent/right action, “right alignment”. and by what is called “expansion” by the WMS literature, (See The Perpetual Raising series in our Library as supplemental reading). There is no “ultimate” state of consciousness or degree of enlightenment however, that can be achieved. There’s always a higher state to embody. When we use entheogens and their conscious-expanding properties, we are in essence, “traveling” states of consciousness that can afford extraordinary advantages to the meditator. Among these are increased healing powers for both yourself and others, the ability to clearly perceive what is true and what is not, enhanced ESP, the ability to direct your every-day state of mind, body and even soul at will, and a host of other benefits, to be described later in this series.By using a “progressive focus” with marijuana or other entheogens, I mean that the user, (before they ever sit down to smoke) firmly determines that the purpose of taking this sacred substance into the body is to gain personal/spiritual power. The user must also dedicate themselves in a serious and determined manner to the practice of meditation, while under the influence of any entheogen. Without these two prerequisites, the full potential of marijuana can never be realized, resulting in a degree of waste of its’ consciousness boosting properties. Marijuana should really never be used “recreationally” because it’s properties are just too powerful to play around with casually. Those who do often suffer the consequences of aggravated fear, (paranoia) confusion and even a lowered level of consciousness. Even though the Herb is a powerful spiritual tool, it must be realized by any user, that a tool, no matter how well it is made, is only as effective as the hand, (or spirit) that wields it. Play around with marijuana and you will likely accomplish little to nothing. Approach this herb with respect and a serious, focused mind, and there is little that you cannot accomplish with its’ excellent effects. Remember…Marijuana is superior, spiritual medicine.

Few natural food sources have withered as much confusion, controversy and misinformation (and lack of information) as hemp – which is unfortunate, and even ironic, given that it is one of the world’s most perfect foods.Actually, it goes far beyond food, as this super-plant has also been used for centuries as a wonderful source of fibers for clothing and accessories, soaps and oils, and much more. It's even rumored to be the world's "oldest food" consumed by modern man.But even despite the recent hemp boom which has hit the nutrition & supplements world over the last year, few still know just how impressive this plant is, or that it may qualify as one of the best brain health-boosting & anti-aging foods on the planet.Have you been seeing more and more health foods, snacks, nutrition bars, oils, breads and other products on the shelves with the word “hemp!” on the packaging? Protein powder that “now includes hemp greens!”, cereals with hemp seeds, hemp drink mixes, hemp bathing oils and soaps? Thanks to a recent explosion of legal hemp growing largely based in Canada (hemp has been legal to grow in Canada since 1998), a version of this plant – and more specifically, the seeds of the plant, has become what many believe to be the next revolution in health foods, based on its rather staggering nutritional profile.But before we get into exactly why hemp is such a perfect food (and specifically, a perfect brain health food), let’s clear up any misconceptions you might have regarding the hemp seeds legally sold and used in foods compared to its (illegal) other incarnation.The hemp available today in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and UK is based on a naturally selected strain of the plant, cannabis sativa, which produces effectively no measurable THC, the psychoactive element in marijuana. By law, this Canadian-grown hemp must contain less than .01% THC, which means that no, you cannot get “high” from eating even large amounts of these hemp food products, including the straight seeds or ground powders.While there may still be some lingering errata with regard to trace amounts of THC showing up on drug tests in some very isolated cases in which persons consumed hemp, the analogy of someone eating a poppyseed bagel and worrying about the trace amounts of opium from the poppy seeds comes to mind.Bottom line: these hemp food products are THC-free (which is also why they are legal). So put any pot-related misinformation, stereotypes, concerns or fears aside, straighten out your friends and family on the subject, and read on about just why this plant deserves unprecedented attention when it comes to your health as you age...The nutritional profile of hemp is perhaps the biggest reason for its recent (and historical) praise as one of nature’s truly perfect foods: high in protein, rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (with an uncannily perfect ratio of omega-6-to-omega-3, almost too good to be true), rich in chlorophyll and the green plant phytonutrients like the best green leafy vegetables possess, low in carbs/sugars, high in fiber.And it tastes great, with a nutty flavor that blows away flax and soy. No soy estrogens or the other negative properties which can make soy inappropriate for some people. Did we mention the extremely high amounts (and perfect balanced profile) of essential fatty acids, which are particularly important for brain health, memory, mood, and concentration?Let’s look at some of the specifics:- Shelled hemp seed contains 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein is comprised of 66 percent high-quality edistin protein, and that hempseed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source. Hemp also contains three times the vitamin E contained in flax.- Good fats: while hemp seed is an excellent source of protein that also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, its most important feature is that it provides both essential fatty acids (EFAs) needed in the human diet–linoleic (omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). These fats are "essential" because they cannot be manufactured in the body and so must be consumed as food. Hemp has an omega-6/omega-3 ratio of 3.38, which is closest to the optimum 4.0 average recommended by the World Health Organization for the human diet.- Hemp for Heart Health: EFAs are essential for the health of the heart. Numerous studies showthat substituting healthy polyunsaturated fats such as hemp for saturated fats can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest and fatal cardiac arrhythmia, as well as reduce blood cholesterol levels and decrease the cellular buildup in arteries associated with atherosclerosis. Hemp also contains phytosterols, which have been shown to reduce total blood cholesterol by an average of 10 percent and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by an average of 13 percent.- Brain health: because EFAs make up a large portion of the brain, hemp is especially beneficial for brain health, particularly memory function. Membrane loss of EFAs has been found in such disorders as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Research has shown that a diet with a proper balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids–such as in hemp oil–may help delay or reduce the neurological effects of these diseases and improve quality of life.- Skin health: The critical importance of EFAs for healthy skin makes hemp seed oil a highly effective skin care and cosmetic product. Its lipid constituents allow it to permeate through the skin and nourish skin cells directly. For this reason, hemp oil is beneficial for skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. For the health of skin and hair, nourishing and balancing hemp oil is now added to a multitude of soaps, shampoos, skin lotions, lip balms, conditioners and other natural skin-care products....the list of hemp benefits goes on, and that's not even getting into the topic of how hemp is also an incredible material for clothing, materials, industrial uses, and more -- and completely bio-sustainable, eco-friendly to the planet (unlike synthetic materials).The foods, products, and what's out there: at BrainReady, we've become huge fans of hemp foods recently, and have been trying many different brands and varieties of hemp foods (always raw, organic, pure hemp however...no hybrids). Many stores now carry shelled hemp seeds, which are a great way to get your hemp -- as you can eat them straight out of the bag, mix with cereals, put into shakes, however you like.There are also hemp protein powders, which are usually ground hemp seeds concentrated into a powder to provide a high protein, fiber, and all the other benefits in a powder form that is easily mixed with liquids such as juice or water (and are great after a workout!). Then there's even "hemp milk", similar to packaged soy milk (same form factor and idea as soy milk cartons, but with hemp instead of soy), which have become our replacement for soy milk recently. There are hemp nut butters (very tasty!), and of course, hemp oils (much like flax oil).A few of our favorites that we've tried (with links):Living Harvest Raw Organic Hemp Seeds: these are wonderful eaten straight, or mixed with other cereals. Great nutty taste! Our new breakfast favorite.Living Harvest Hemp Protein Powder: the concentrated, high-protein ground hemp that has become our new post-workout recovery favorite. We mix it with water and drink, but you can also mix it with juice or other beverage if you prefer. Incredible combo of protein, EFA's, branch chain aminos, fiber, wow!Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Butter: this tasty stuff is our new peanut butter. Great on organic whole grain toast, on crackers, or straight!Nutiva Organic Shelled Hemp: this 5-pound bag is definitely the best, most economical way to get ultra-high quality organic hemp seed...which we use as the basis for cereals, for adding to salads, anything. Hemp is definitely something you want to buy in bulk, and this is a good way to do it particularly as most stores do NOT carry this one, so get it online.Nutiva Organic Hemp Oil: the best hemp oil we've tried, and this deal (via Amazon.com) is great because you get two bottles for the retail price of one. Hemp oil is great on toast, salads, vegetables, and yes, you can use it on your skin (save money on the expensive anti-aging skin lotioons and try hemp oil...it's incredible).In summary, hemp is an incredible brain health & anti-aging nutritional powerhouse -- but it's also so much more. Suffice to say that we've made it a dietary staple at BrainReady and are feeling better than ever.- The BrainReady Team(What do you think of the hemp explosion?

Leading and Learning LifeA human being should take an interest in what he is living for.The biggest problem which can be seen nowadays in the world of human beings, is that most human beings do not try to know why they are living and what they should have to live for in their lives.We should see this as the result of human beings having abandoned themselves for greed and ignorance for a long time.Our life and the result of our life that we wish for is being ignored for darkness and unhappiness.Some people say that life is a never ending task and some people say that life is the secret which only God knows.We do not understand nor recognize the fact the pleasure of life can be found within ourselves; we do not have to live our life by throwing away the value of life.Most of us do not know about life and how to choose what we have to live for. The most important thing is to love ourselves and to create a good selves from within.Life is the whole process which exists from birth to death; individually we have the results in us through what happens in and to ourselves.Only when we know life we can see the real value of life and only when we know the real value of life can real love come out of ourselves.Unless the world of human beings can open their eyes to life, the value of life will disappear forever.When your life cannot bless itself the life is not yours anymore.The blessing for human beings is the ability that is inherent in human beings and the fact that most cannot use this ability that they have means they lost it themselves by ignorance.We should know what we know and what we are doing. All truth is appearing through as a result.When the question is wrong the result comes out wrong and only someone who understands the question can there be a good result.The most important thing that the world of human beings should know is how to accept our life and how to serve ourselves.If there is anyone who is willing to learn about life and to reveal the value of life to people then that will bring a bigger blessing than anything else.As long as our life does not change, then problems within us will not change forever and our life will never change.In order for the world of human beings to solve ignorance we have to learn things in life and when we have made ourselves open our eyes to see ourselves we can eventually keep ourselves from greed and falsehood. Life is the process from birth to death and the teaching of life will become the best teaching for us.Once again knowing life will make you obtain never-ending blessing for yourself and living without knowing life will become the biggest ignorance that you have ignored yourself.Life is an opportunity to choose which has been given to us, our life and our future can change through things in life. No matter what anyone says if we live our life without knowing life then we will be deceiving ourselves.Life is precious to everyone.Life can make anything happen to us.What exists in life produces our endless future.Life is the way to the eternal you.Through your life, you can be born as the best human whom you want or as the worst human that you will never want. Seen from all these facts, there is nothing more important than knowing life in terms of the survival of a human being.Life without understanding itself is the same thing as abandoning life.Expecting good results of life while you are living without being aware of the meaning of life is the same as waiting for a good harvest from trees you have never looked after.Being unaware of how to live is the exactly the same thing as doing something very bad to ourselves.This makes us change for the worse and causes wrong things in the world as well. Living in the state of being unaware of what results things we have will create and what effects they will have on ourselves, brings about nothing but mistakes.In the meantime, it is not so easy to know life according to most people. It is because people have the uniqueness of their own. For those who are unaware it indicates that falsehood has covered truth over.Knowing life is the way to gain oneself. Knowing life is the way to peace, happiness, eternal life, resurrection and the universe.Neglecting life or having no regard for it is giving up your whole future. In the state of abandoning future, how can you be happy and live well?If a person made a big fortune by doing something wrong with ignorant thoughts, the fortune would give that person a lot of troubles.Due to the fortune, all sorts of disputes and unhappiness can appear endlessly. Everyone is susceptible to these happenings.Through More Than One LifetimeAlthough life can be really hard and difficult (may be short and yet not) one wonders why we would want to bear and overcome it in the first place.It is because the way of our whole future (rebirths) is formulated during the process of life. If we choose to end life because of the difficulties of life, then there is no future.Even though we are going to be born again you will become much weaker and repeat the same mistakes.These are typical examples you experience due to ignorance of life.Learning the way of life, i.e. how you lead your life is the project of your life. Unless someone teaches you how to achieve it, you should not do it for yourself. Therefore, one should seek guidance when possible.However, people don't even try to recognize what the project is like let alone try to carry it out; this is the biggest problem faced by the people of today.Benevolence of a “God”?Under no circumstances, must we appeal towards any particular “object” for betterment within us or to have good things happen to us. In other words, do not seek benevolence from external “objects”.If we could obtain unexpected and incomprehensible profits by serving a "God", the happening will cause a much bigger loss.It is because offering nothing but prayer will prevent you from learning what you have to do and enlightening yourself about what exists and finally only gives you ignorance. The ignorance will perish us.It is irrational to think that only objects like "GOD" can make people change for the better or for the worse.It is yet to be proven in human history that God helps people be born again, or go to heaven, and enlighten themselves. The evidence has never been acquired yet.To truly know how to lead life is to know everything. The process of learning this is in itself a lifelong project that is virtually impossible to achieve in just one lifetime.It is an IDEAL that we should know how we should live so that we will be able to work hard and think only about what isn't harmful to ourselves/our lives. If so, we will ALL live well.Alas, knowing truly how to lead is not necessarily a blessing; it also can be an agony to those whose willpower is weak.Life Is a Lesson unto ItselfWhat we considered the most important during the process of learning is life.If we don't know life it is certain that you can never learn to love.If we can learn about life properly then we can live superbly.If we don’t know about life how can we lead our life?Therefore, we must always remember that life is precious.We must therefore, hold the confidence that if we lead our life well, we can make it more brilliant and bless it through endless future.The Soul in LifeIt's a universal fact that living things, as we see them grow and renew according to the foundation and environment. Trees for example thrive on fertile land and proper climate and grow/renew through fruit bearing. The human soul is also exactly the same as this.Although humans don't bear fruit, they germinate the consciousness which is inside them.In other words, they bear their soul.And when this soul dies it is revived and appears as life again.At the essence of this soul lie the things which were in ones life, just as they are.And when this soul is revived the nature inside one or what has happened to him again continues its activities.No matter how much somebody is eager to change their life, if they don't understand properly and they just go around relying on their own thoughts; they can never change their life for the better.The purpose of our living is that the very life is the source that makes us exist. Because we are doing the things that will make us exist in the future through this life, we live to the base of destiny which will influence endless future lives as well as the present life. We elevate our lives by elevating our souls. We elevate our souls through positive renewal.The Self-sacrifice “Problem”"Discovering what kind of influence a certain thing has on us, is the best teaching." In this world, certain problems can be deliberately made by humans. These good problems make good answers. But in today's society there aren't many who want to make good problems. Some self sacrifices are considered “good” problems.In the end as a consequence of solutions without problems people will be forced to continue to suffer great pain in the future and I want to point out that this is the cause which makes miserable things and which make people live their lives in Darkness!Although we were made to study, the importance of the problems has not been taught properly, so, in the end, people who can't see or know about life's problems will be living like a blind man.Once we know the things in truth, we ourselves can lead a life which we want.A lot of people are living quite a distance from happiness and peace.If we are awakened to what the truth is, we ourselves are able to get out of the wrong place.This is the way to bring glory to us!There is no greater blessing than living with a bright mind in a bright world.People who have dark minds can not see the things just in front of themselves, people who have bright mind can see things from a distance.And knowing what life is all about; is essential for us to get peace and happinessLove must be given and received with Blessings! Peace and Happiness follows.........!
