The Ultimate Understanding

The major purpose of the Mind Adventure Learning Center is to invite folks to assemble and support one another to understand what it truly is to be a human being:

I believe the above understanding is a culmination of man’s endless search for something beyond himself. The search is over. The something that we are looking for is an understanding of this truth:

Understanding this Ultimate Understanding places one on a high mental vibration that attunes him to many more supporting truths. You need not understand everything there is to understand about yourself, but if you are to live the glorious life you came here to experience, it is important to understand that you are a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence. When you thoroughly understand this, understanding the rest is easy.

Speak these words slowly: I am a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence. Speak them with full meaning in your voice: I am a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence. Speak them aloud and hear them with mindfulness, not just with your rigid intellect: I am a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence. Sing the words from the heart until you intuitively feel the tantalizing lure: I am a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence.

All efforts to understand this first part of the Ultimate Understanding strengthens you. It leaves you with an astonishingly agile mind that enables you to abandon any false image that you’re holding of yourself.

You decide what this understanding specifically means to you. One thing is certain – contemplating it deserves your time and passion. With contemplation, you travel the inner road to higher ground where you unite with your soaring spirit. Your spirit knows this truth about you.

Feel the rightness of what you are reading. The feeling of rightness makes it easy to erase any misleading opinions that try to ground you.

It is great news to understand that you are a rich and majestic child. The mental magic can be used to prove it is true. Infinite intelligence is an endless source of incalculable wisdom and truth. When you understand that you are a child of this intelligence, your mind tunes into universal mind and it’s endless reservoir of enlightenment.

When attuned to universal mind, you cannot help but feel super self-sufficient, which is the feeling of being whole and complete, just as you are. There is something very appealing about this. Would you agree?

 

This Ultimate Understanding is the fundamental philosophy of Mind Adventure Inc. It is the raison d’etre of Mind Adventure Inc. And the purpose of the Learning Center is to spread the word.

We are used to being human, aren’t we? However, the human beings we are used to being are fraught with thoughts of inadequacy and unworthiness to some greater or lesser degree. Thus, we hear people commonly say, “I’m only human” or “It’s just me.” At the Learning Center, we will conduct classes to ponder the ‘I AM’ that exists beyond ‘only human’ or ‘just me’.

The next time you hear yourself saying, “It’s Impossible” about achieving something … stop and say, “Impossible?… not so. I’m possible, therefore it’s possible.” What’s in it for you when you say this? New possibilities!

Student: What is the ‘I AM’ that’s possible?
Teacher: The ‘I AM’ that is possible is the rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence, and therefore the ‘it’ that is possible is whatever you set your mind to.

 Now sing out the truth one more time.

 

Are you beginning to understand? Be glad when this understanding reveals something very different from what you believe about yourself right now. The revelation is lifting you to higher plateaus of perception.

I’ve only written about the ‘majestic child’ part of the Ultimate Understanding because there is only so much room in a blog. The whole enchilada is covered in my soon-to-be-released book.

Please share your thoughts on this Ultimate Understanding. No one needs to remain timid anymore. Be bold. Speak out! Let us know what this brings to mind for you.

Thank you and Blessings

Atomic Action in Action – It’s Happening…

Mind Adventure Inc has finalized the purchase of its new home and is opening a Learning Center. The purpose is to allow like kind minds to mingle.

Student: What’s the outcome of mingling minds?
Teacher: When two or more minds align with an aim in sight, a Third Mind is created. This third mind contains a powerful dynamic that all of the aligned minds can tap into.

Imagine mingling your mind with other like-kind minds and arousing a common interest to accomplish a singular outcome. When the minds align in the name of the agreed upon outcome, disquieting confusion and doubt quickly dissipates. Each mind is able to plug into the created third mind, and think beyond the usual.

Most ‘genius ideas’ come from the mingling of several minds. Was the Declaration of Independence written by one person? Did Wilbur Wright invent the heavier-than-air flying machine by himself, or did he mingle his mind with his brother, Orville? What about the Marx Brothers – was their comic genius found in only one of them?

‘Genius ideas’ come first as a sensing, as when you feel the rightness of your intuition. Then, by actually talking about the idea with those who mingle their minds with you – you proceed from one illuminating thought to the next. At that point, it is possible to turn the idea over to the created mind – the Third Mind. Then the rewards will come.

 

The mission of The Mind Adventure Learning Center is to help folks come to the Ultimate Understanding:

Human beings are rich and majestic children of Infinite Intelligence. We are marvelously made, and destined to win at whatever we set our minds to. We are also worthy all that is good and beautiful. 

 

Imagine mingling your mind with other minds with the intention of gaining this Ultimate Understanding. Perhaps it’s a group of real estate brokers who want to gain this Ultimate Understanding so they can generate more sales. Perhaps it’s a group of mothers who want to gain this Ultimate Understanding so they can pass the message on to their children. Perhaps it’s a group of struggling individuals, in all walks of life, who want to gain this Ultimate Understanding so they can turn their lives around.

Seeking to gain the Ultimate Understanding is seeking to gain that which is most valuable to any human being on the planet. It supplies incredible inner strength in all walks of life.

Imagine mingling your mind with other minds, and making it your chief aim to see and be someone who feels marvelously made and destined to win at whatever you set your mind to. Read that sentence again, please. Take a minute to reflect on it. Obedience to truth is one’s first obligation; that is if he wants to ‘win at winning’. The other option is to win at losing. You will win at whatever you set your mind to – winning or losing. How have you been doing with that?

So, that is what Mind Adventure Inc is up to right now. The sale of our new home is complete and is being converted into a Learning Center as we speak. No one is obligated to think like a victim, just because millions of people do.

The Learning Center will help folks bring a new kind of happiness into their lives, a happiness that they never before believed was possible. And Guess what! The Learning Center is located right in the center of the vibrant city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is right across from the famous Jamaica Pond, and it has plenty of free parking. How great is that!

 

Are you ready to mingle your mind with other minds in the name of gaining this Ultimate Understanding? Are you ready to fly easily over the walls that block you from solving life’s problems? Are you willing to turn your problems over to a Third Mind, created by the mingling of minds? Will you stop insisting that you can find the solutions to your problems by using your old method of logic? If you’ve answered, “YES, YES, YES, & YES,” then your own released light will guide you to the Learning Center. I’ll see you there.

Have you discovered the difference between doing something by yourself and doing something by mingling your mind with others? Will you tell us about it?

Thank you and blessings

The Best Wish You Can Ever Have

This blog is for a friend who I will call “Sam.” Sam is making $65,000 a year as a life-coach; a decent living. Sam asked if we could meet and talk a little about esoteric ideas; he wanted to learn a little more about what it means to go deeper than motivational theories.

Sam appeared calm and easy going, but underneath I could sense a nervous man. As we got into the conversation, he said that he often feels anxious, even though he dresses to the nines and goes into the world pretending to be very happy, confident, and successful.

Sam asked me, “I just want to understand myself so I can understand how life works; Where have I gone wrong?”

I just want to understand myself so I can understand how life works.
I just want to understand myself so I can understand how life works.

The above statement rang through my ears; it is the best wish Sam could ever have; it is the greatest wish anyone could ever have.

I told Sam, “Understanding yourself is more important than understanding principles of success, understanding the keys to happiness, and even understanding God. All of those things will be understood when you understand yourself.”

I told Sam a story that touched me years ago. A woman was thrown into prison in India in the early 1900’s. Because she understood herself, she understood her capabilities, she understood her power. She was absolutely free, and it was obvious to her neighbors.

This woman was gathering large crowds of people who wanted to be in her presence. They were amazed at her easy and loose way of living. This was intolerable to the male authorities in power at the time. Woman were not to hold themselves in such high regard – it’s just custom. One day, soldiers came and took her away in chains.

There seemed no possible way that this woman would ever get a reprieve, be released, set free. However, she knew she was born to be free and her destiny was to live her life as she intended it to be. She was as relaxed in jail as she was in the streets. There is nothing that can interfere when we TRULY know ourselves and know what we want.

This woman had discovered the passage to inner liberty, and within a few weeks she was released to outer freedom; she was set free. How could that be? There was no explanation given; providence seemed to just move on her behalf. She’d designed her destiny to be free; she’d vowed never to do anything just to please others, and she dropped all inner chains of guilt, shame, inadequacy and fear. Outer chains cannot hold the person who drops all inner chains.

I explained to Sam that millions of folks toss themselves in psychic prison; they wrap themselves in chains. Then they search for the key to the prison door by looking for recipes and prescriptions and methods and techniques to pick the lock. Moreover, thousands of people try to set themselves free by reading self-help books and even becoming life-coaches (like Sam). These folks work hard writing blogs, chatting on the computer, tossing inspirational quotes back and forth, but still fear looking foolish or being ridiculed.

I explained to Sam that many folks who become life-coaches, believe that if they work hard to find answers, and work hard to fix others, sooner or later the answer they are looking for will come. However, they do not find the answer they really want because they are always looking outside of themselves.

The problem is this: millions of people seek to understand everything else in life, but they don’t seek to understand themselves, they don’t observe themselves with painful honesty. They wish to find the castle beyond the dense forest, but they do not want to confront the one thing that stops them from finding it – themselves. They cannot get around the obstacle to life’s real treasure because they refuse to say, “The obstacle is ME.”

Student: Why would anyone avoid confronting himself?
Teacher: He is frightened by the discouraging ideas of self that are buried deep in the basement of his mind. The 60,000 NO’s that are heard during childhood rearing, have him believing that he is undeserving of the castle. He believes he is inadequate or unworthy to some degree, and fears that if he confronts this belief, it will destroy him.

Most human beings feel a dull ache as they go through the days and weeks and years of living (relationship aches, money aches, health aches), but refuse to acknowledge it. They stuff it deep and put on an act.

I informed Sam that thousands of ‘life-coaches’ suffer with the same dull aches that he experiences while striving hard to help others improve their lives. One’s real answer is to stop trying to solve everyone else’s problems and ‘solve yourself’.

A wise man told me, “It is said that the best way to find answers is to help others find answers. However, you cannot find answers if you spend all of your time avoiding looking at yourself by looking at others.”

YES, YES, YES, there is something beyond the ache, Sam. Life truly is meant to be a joyous experience, day in and day out; watch children and puppies.

Student: How can Sam make a fresh start in life?
Teacher: A true fresh start requires developing an awakening love for what’s authentic about oneself; it requires wanting freedom from concealed anxiety. Sam’s first duty is to himself. How can a bahing sheep teach others about soaring high in the sky like an eagle?

Recognition of one’s woeful state is the perfect opportunity to begin understanding one’s authentic nature … which is WOW. Your real nature never fears your real nature. Start seeing the difference between the false self and the real self. Voluntarily detect and abandon all thoughts of insufficiency that make you feel insecure and anxious.

It’s the enlightened individual who recognizes that his struggling personality is nothing more than a cheap imitation of what he truly can be. When you recognize this, you meet opportunity after opportunity to prove it is true. Prove it to whom? To YOU!

Student: What’s the first step toward recognizing the cheap imitation of myself that I’ve created myself to be?
Teacher: Recognize that almost everyone you meet is more confused and scared than they show on the surface. Have absolute compassion for them, and realize that you are not alone. Now you can safely walk home; the way will quite naturally come to you.

Blessings

The Ego Is Made of Fear

All of your ego’s responses come out of fear. He / she who acts fearlessly, is acting from authenticity (which is different from the ego).

The ego is your coat of armor; it’s what you use to protect yourself. As a child, you started feeling fearful because of the 60,000 NO’s you heard between age two and six. Do you know what you did about that? You created a false version of the original you IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

You created this false version of yourself (ego), so no one could harm your real nature. You were saying to the world, “It’s not the real me that you are scolding – it’s a false version of me … ha ha to you.” Not a bad trick, except most of us never drop the coat of armor; we live our lives from the ego – forever reacting to fear (be it fear of intimate relationships, fear of money, fear of adventure, blah, blah, blah).

You are looking into your ego right now. GOOD! Once you see the basic cause of your ego, life gets easier. Perhaps you cannot shed the ego all at once, like a snake sheds its skin in springtime, but becoming aware of the cause gives you a great start.

Student: So what is the ego – the symptom or the disease?
Teacher: Great question; the ego is the symptom; the disease is the different fears that come with 60,000 NO’s.

The secret to success, when dealing with the ego is this: begin looking at your fears. When I was twelve, I had pimples on my back. I feared that I would be made fun of, so I always wore a t-shirt at the lake, when swimming. There, right there, was my ego (my coat of armor). I decided that I was an individual who made up my own mind … and I decided I would never take my t-shirt off in public, and no one could make me. This decision became part of my ego’s point of view. Did the EGO do me harm, or did the FEAR do me harm?

The ego was simply a symptom of the fear … the fear did me harm; the fear of being humiliated. My coat of armor was to act tough and insist that I think for myself (so nobody’s going to tell me what to do).

So, if you want to recreate yourself anew, don’t fight with the ego; look at the fear that created the ego and deal with that. Why are so many millions afraid of money? They must be – so few have it. Why are so many millions afraid of being humiliated? They must be – so few dare to dance like nobody’s watching. Why are so many millions of people afraid of ill-health? They must be – hospitals are filled with people with psychosomatic illnesses (doctors estimate its as high as 60%).

All human beings experience fear of one kind or another. Perhaps a few don’t, but the rest of us do; this is why we all have egos.

The answer to recreating oneself anew is to accept the fears you have, and decide to work on ridding yourself of them. If you do this effectively, you do not have to deal with your ego; it will vanish on its own. If it has no reason to protect you from fear, it has no raison d’etre (reason for being).

2012 is a great year to begin working on your fears – fear of poverty, fear of loss of any kind, fear of criticism, fear of success, fear of death, fear of loneliness, fear of the world coming to an end (according to the Mayan Calendar). What is one fear that it’s time to work on?

You took on a personality to hide your fears, now take on the courage to look directly at your fears (the fire-eating dragon ‘harrumphs’ and walks away when the dragon slayer confronts him face to face).

With even a small but sincere wish to understand your fear, something cracks wide open – your EGO! Now you see things totally different; you are a little more conscious, which causes more cracking.

What is a fear that gives life to your ego? What do you do to protect yourself from the fear? What past fear no longer affects your attitude or mood? How did you deal with it to vanish it from your psychic state of being?

Have fun with this; leave us a comment. Your insights bring the conversation alive.

Blessings
