The Three Spiritual Levels Of “The Self” & Consciousness Explained Here (Spiritualists Must See This!)

In Hawaiian Culture and it's Shamanic tradition of "Huna" the concept of the “self” is viewed in a holistic manner. It is delineated into three different levels or layers which exist both respectively and in harmony with one another. This theory can greatly help one understand their personality and how they exist and function as human beings. So here I am going to be describing the 3 different "selves" of Huna Shamanism.

There is a lot of controversy these days about Tobacco. It has been vilified because many people in the world are having adverse health effects because of it. And this is very unfortunate because this does not have to be the case. In actuality tobacco is a medicinal plant that has been misused and this causes misconceptions about it and how to use it. And of course when studies are done about tobacco by health professionals who wish to discourage its use, it is easy for them to make it seem unhealthy since it is being used in the wrong ways. And they even go as far as to say things such as “second hand smoke kills”, when in actuality they are testing second hand smoke in ways that would never kill in real life, because you would have to be inhaling it in an extreme manner that would in fact be worse than smoking (just like sitting in your garage with the car running inhaling its fumes), which no one would ever do. They give statistics about the thousands of chemicals that are used in tobacco, but most of which are not even naturally occurring in the tobacco. So the tobacco leaf itself is not the problem. Believe me, for as you know I am a long time health enthusiast, fitness freak, and holistic health practitioner and teacher. The issue is that Tobacco is a medicine and drug, and like any thing of that nature, using it wrong will make it unhealthy. But using it right is completely opposite.

Analyzing The Concept of “Groupthink” As A Mind Hack For Personal Development & Success

Human nature is sociological. We are social animals. If you have checked out my "True Life Relationships" main page you will know that that is exactly why I started True Life Relationships, so that I could offer not just the Psychologically based aspects of Personal Development, but the social science as well. Because social networking and relationships are very important parts of any human beings lifestyle here in society. And that is why we live in societies...

The Positivity Paradox & “Toxic Positivity”

A lot of people like to try to be positive, and of course, why wouldn't you? Positivity is positive....Except when it's not...

Many people have heard the term pH but do not know what it means. Still others have never even heard of it before...this is not good, because your pH is the foundation of your health! It is the balance between the acidity and alkalinity in your body.

Honesty is a scary idea for some

Should you always be honest?

Should you ever lie in your relationships?

Now I know what your probably thinking…what an obvious answer to this question it is that “Honesty is the best policy”…Right?

But if the answer was that obvious why would I write a whole blog on it?

Obviously this is still a necessary topic, as so many people in relationships still lie to each other…

Dishonesty is one of the biggest problems in relationships…It always has been, and always will be…

Because people just have trouble being 100% honest with one another! Even in the most intimate of relationships!

Why?

On The Social Science of Match Making & Compatibility

I have seen so many people in dating whose entire selection process consists of interviewing their prospective partners on things such as their interests, hobbies,and the things they like to "do for fun" in order to delineate if they are a good match or not. The decision on whether they are compatible and should be life long partners is mostly based upon whether or not they share a large number of common interests and activities. And I have a very important message for you people out there dating and looking for relationships:

COMMON INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES DO NOT NECESSARILY MAKE FOR GOOD RELATIONSHIPS!!!

If you are like everyone else out there, you probably feel a little down at times. Don't worry this doesn't mean that you are less of a person, or that you need to go see a psychiatrist and get on some pill. Not that you shouldn't do so for severe depression, but try these first before doing anything like that.

I have noticed over time that there are distinct differences in the mindset and my entire set of lifestyle practices (be it in business, socializing, or conducting my personal affairs such as learning or just living) that I had at times which were characterized by either struggle or success, and I have noticed the same elements in my clients and the other people I have worked with over the course of my life and career. And so for your benefit I have composed a list of these 15 factors that indicate paradigms of either success or struggle. Hopefully you will notice some of the ways in which you have been falling into the “struggle” paradigm and this will help you to shift your paradigm over to a Success based paradigm so that you can start living the life of your dreams!

Understanding The 6 Aspects Of Suffering

And How To End It

Many people turn to self help because of the fact that their lives are not what they want it to be...and they are oftentimes experiencing some form of suffering. In fact this is the reason why Buddhism is one of the most popular and prosperous religions today (not that this is going to be a religious article). The truth is that suffering is a huge part of life, and is something that everyone has to deal with at some time or another. And (not) ironically it is something that motivates people to want to try to better themselves (so that they can put an end to their suffering).

You may have noticed that I place a certain emphasis here in True Life Development on diet. You've probably seen the theme recurring as a focal point whenever I talk about health, which I talk about a lot. And yet this is something that people often seem to miss! No matter how much emphasis we health officials place on the food you put into your body...somehow the general population still misses out on the significance of our diet. And this importance does not just go for health, but for all things personal development and success oriented!(more…)

The more I look at other people and how they handle their dating life, and how generally unhealthy most relationships are, the more I realize how blind people are to what is really most important in relationships.

There is only one thing in life that we can be certain of. And that is that it is full of problems. If you have been alive for more than a decade then you know that. It doesn't matter how privileged you are, or how awesome you are, you are going to have problems in your life.

Constantly in my work with people I will hear them saying things like "I cant do this/that", "I can't change", "I just don't think it will work", "That's just who/how I am", "This is just the way I'm wired", "You can't change who you are", and so on and so forth.

The following selection of inspirational, philosophical and spiritual poetry is taken from the first volume of my "Spirit Metamorphosis" book series, which is the documentation of my own spiritual journey of holistic personal development, and the revelations that occurred as my mental processes evolved through it. I have selected for you here some basic introductory poetry samples to give you just a taste of what you get in the books (which gets much more intellectually/spiritually deep and intense). Enjoy, and be sure to click the link below and stay tune for another posting of poetry samples in the future.

And now it is time to talk more about the most fundamental part of your personal development, the food you eat! And more raw recipes to supercharge your health! The previous raw recipe blog, which if you haven't seen you can do so by clicking this link here, is more basic, simple and easy, using only a juicer and a blender. Here we will not be using a juicer or doing any juicing (but if you want to learn more about juicing I do have plenty of information on that in my "Curing Root Causes with Dietary Secrets" course too), but only a blender and a food processor. And we will very much be taking things to the next level with your raw food preparation and eating! So I hope you are ready and excited about these next level raw recipes! I'll be starting with the most fundamental and easy, and working my way up to the most complex.

I hear a lot of people complaining about not having what it takes to succeed. Not having enough money, or opportunity, or resources, or circumstances, etc. Which may be somewhat true. Maybe they weren't born into a family that had old money. Maybe they do not live in New York City where there are the most different types of jobs. Maybe they have problems that hinder them in certain ways...

So I am constantly coming upon people who have the same questions in personal development, or oftentimes they are not even questions, but ignorant thoughts that would be better phrased as questions so that they could become more enlightened. So I decided to do a FAQ for all of the common introductory personal development issues out there that someone might have coming into this self improvement work, for anyone thinking about starting this great journey of self actualization.

(more…)

A lot of people wonder what I mean exactly when I use the phrase "Self Actualization". And a lot of people who come into personal development wonder "Shouldn't I just accept myself the way I am?" and other such things.

Many people who are lacking in the success they want to have are in this place because of their lack of connections, and having a limited social circle and business network, both in quantity and quality.

It is no secret anymore that success is not about what you do, but who you know. After all, when a big business owner is choosing executives and board members for his or her company, do you think they accept applications for these positions? Or go with people they know?

(more…)

Many people have lives that they are not happy with and want to change. And yet when they do something to try to change their life and it doesn't happen, they wonder why. Why, having done whatever it is that they did to effectuate this change, have they not experienced a total transformation into the lifestyle that they want?

(more…)

Now you are about to learn one of the most awesome thing's that I teach in the realm of dating. Which is how to go from being complete strangers with someone to having sex with them, in a simple step by step formula. This is something very few people out there know how to do, but once you know how to do it, you can have the type of sexual relationship with anyone you are attracted to. But beware, this is a very powerful thing to know, and you will have to use some restraint to make sure you do not become a sex addict!

Can You Turn Loneliness and Sexual Frustration into Sexual Fulfillment?

I know what you are wondering. Is it even possible? Can a lonely person actually fulfill all of their sexual desires even if they have no prospects in their life right now? Can you instantly get the sex life you want?

And I know how hopeless it can seem at times. When you are sitting alone at home, wondering why you don't have someone special in your life and wishing you did. Just waiting for someone to show up in your life, yearning for the touch of another persons skin and wondering if and when you will ever get that...and telling yourself that maybe if you just keep waiting that someone will show up eventually and be that special companion to you...but they never do...because that's just not how the universe works.

And that is the problem that most people are faced with that can make life very hard and depressing because you have to live without the love and sex life you so desire. That can make you feel very lonely and desolate, which are two of the worst feelings to have. I know, because I used to be there.

The Secret Social Science of Attraction Revealed Here!

And now to discuss the topic that is the biggest reason people get into self help, to attract and seduce the mates that they want. Ain't nothin' wrong with that haha.

As you may know, there are specific tactics that are used by master seducers of all kinds which produce the sexual interactions and relationships you want to have. And being a teacher of these things, I know what these are, and have a number of my own special personal secrets. And while I never thought I would be releasing these secrets, my business consultant advised me that I should, so today is your lucky day!

The Secret Social Science of Seduction Exposed

Now that you have learned how to create attraction and chemistry with someone you like, which we covered in the first article (and if you didn't read it you can do so by clicking this link here now)...We are now going to get into part 2 on the science of seduction and the actual physical and sexual tactics for making sex happen with anyone you want to turn into your sex partner, whether you are on a date, hanging out as friends, working together, etc, just as long as you have already done what you learned in the first article on Attraction.

These moves are pretty badass and require a certain amount of sexual comfort and confidence necessary to really be proactive and physically dominant. But if you can have the right state of mind and go through these moves you will not only successfully engage in sexual play, but your date will become super horny for you and want you to take things even further.

(more…)

If you have been reading the articles and other content I have been posting on dating and relationships, you will have realized at some point that in order to do these things well they need to be done in connection with general personal development focus. All the time people tell me that they want to learn how to get more dates, more sexual partners, a girlfriend or boyfriend, or whatever the love life that they want is...but many of them do not want to work on themselves and making them a better person, and thus a more ideal mate for others. And that is exactly the reason why they are not getting the sexual partner(s) they want, and never will even with all the dating advice, secret seduction tactics and special sex moves and other tips and tricks I could possibly teach them. For having all the best seduction methods in the world will never make up for being a poor character at heart.

When it comes to dating the thing most people are concerned with is how to meet prospective mates and “pick them up” as it is called. And they should be concerned with this, as it is the most important point in any relationship, and the most important part of dating, because without meeting people, you can’t get into a relationship with them. And meeting people is not easy, in fact it can be very very hard. It is often seen as socially inappropriate to go up to a total stranger and talk to them. In fact we are taught and socially conditioned to avoid strangers from a young age, and that approaching someone with sexual intentions is improper. However nothing could be further from the truth.

(more…)

Everyone wants to know how to get the ideal mates. The biggest complaint people like me in the dating industry hear is things like "where are all the good girls" or "I just want to meet the perfect girl", or "where are all the decent guys" or "I just want to meet my Mr. Right".

But how do we find the ideal mates?

No one seems to know!

Because so many people are complaining that they meet lots of people who could be prospective partners, but just don't seem to be able to find the right ones...

If only there was some special way to be able to just get the right partner(s) we want to be with...

Well you are in luck...because there is!

And that is what I am going to reveal to you here.

(more…)

Everyone is so deluded about what sexuality really is. We're fed so much propaganda through our social conditioning that no one understands its true essence. And most people in the world live in a sex negative culture that makes them feel ashamed of their sexuality and like sex is wrong unless it is experienced within the very specific container society has deemed ok... Men are taught by other men that sex should just be about fucking, women are taught by other women that sex should just be about love, religious people are taught by religious authorities that sex should be about marriage…when are we going to be allowed to experience our sexuality naturally and freely for what it really is?

How Wrong is it to be Wrong?

Many people are afraid of ever admitting that they are wrong. They feel like it is wrong to be wrong, and better to just be right all the time. And even if they are not actually right, they feel it is better to assure others that they are. This comes from a place of ego and not wanting to admit than you had done something less intelligent than you thought. However admitting you are wrong and correcting yourself actually seems more intelligent. And if you look at history, you will see a lot of very large examples of highly intelligent people who did great things but also did great things wrong and should have realized they were wrong sooner when they could have done things greater.

What is “Love” Really?

The Complete Science Explained!

In this article I am going to be talking about and explaining the actual science of everyone's favorite topic: LOVE!

Love is the biggest thing that everyone seeks after in life. That or something resembling love. It is one of the greatest human desires, and not only that but one of the greatest human needs. But why is that?

It's not just because love feels better than anything else in this world (next to sex of course, which is a part of love). Its because of what is behind those good feelings and why exactly love feels so good. You see love is actually a function of evolutionary psychology that is very meaningful....but not in the ways that you think!

Emotions and Psychology in Athletics/Fitness (and Injuries)

Two weeks ago I sprained my ankle doing parkour, which was very painful, and set me back in my practice of it. It has been a rough experience mentally over these past 2 weeks since doing my parkour workouts has really been a large part of my lifestyle, and my personal identity. I has really made me realize just how much being an athlete is mental as well as physical, which is one of the reasons I chose parkour as my new sport in the first place. But I had not realized just how much emotion played into these things, as sometimes your mind and sense of self esteem is really put to the test in athletics, when facing failure and injury.

As you may know from my post on raw juices and smoothies (that if you haven't read yet, you can by clicking this link here) I love healthy drinks. A lot of people ask me about what health remedies I use, and my favorites that I think are the best ones anyone could use are actually special health drinks that I make. And just so you can try them yourself and see how good they are, I'm offering them freely in this blog article.

You Are A Product Of Your Environment And Your Environment Is A Product Of You

My Experience With Nature Vs. Nurture

I grew up in the country, a very small town on the outskirts of the city of Rochester NY about 40 minutes away from downtown, and 20 minutes away from the nearest grocery store. It had a lot of nature and that was great for many reasons, but it was also very desolate. My mother was very sheltering and isolated me from most other kids I wanted to play with. She was also very oppressive and wanted to indoctrinate me in her own ways and prevent me from associating with anyone she didn’t approve of, and she didn’t approve of most people. This conditioned me with a lot of social anxiety and depression, as well as other social issues. In fact as I would come to find out my mother was a sociopath, and really enjoyed causing psychological issues in me that she could then despair about and blame on things such as the divorce and my father and popular culture, and then force me into therapy that I did not want or need. For a while I was very unpopular in school, but I was not a stupid kid and was able to figure out what it took to become popular and get in with the popular crowd. However even as a teenager she would not let me hang out with other kids outside of school without first talking to their parents as if I was a child and she needed to arrange “play dates”. Thus I had to become very rebellious and independent and learned to just do what I want and find my own way.

29 Types of Erotic Touch

For Maximizing Your Sexual Pleasure

Through Foreplay and Sensual Play

It is no secret that most people out there are not having the best sex that they can possibly have. This is because they are not being as sensually engaging as they can be in sex. It is a great complaint among women that men usually skip foreplay and then ejaculate too fast, and sex becomes a "wham bam thank you ma'am" kind of thing that produces little to no pleasure for the women, and minimal pleasure for the man as well. This is why most people have very boring monotonous sex lives that they are not satisfied with, and causes most sexual relationships to end at some point due to the couples sexual frustrations and how they can affect the whole relationship.

Logotherapy & Ontology:

The Meaning Of Life & Purposeful Living

Many people these days do not have a great sense of self, life purpose, or meaning in their life. Many are simply walking through life in a waking daze like zombies or robots. You probably know a lot of people like that. Perhaps even you yourself have been this way at times. Is that how you want to live your life?

What Is Being A Couple Really About? Let’s explore the Definition of Romantic Relationships a little here. I hear from way too many women in committed relationships, even marriages, that they are not being sexually fulfilled by their partners, and sometimes their sexual needs are totally being neglected, or they barely have sex at all. And see too many men cheating, and even have married women propositioning me for sex, some of whom have never even been given an orgasm by their husbands. And I can’t help but think why are you in a committed sexual partnership with someone who is not actually your sexual partner?

What Is Shamanism Really?

The Most Mind Boggling Subject Fully Exposed Here...

Shamanism – What It Is: The Basics

To many people the word shaman is a stereotype which conjures vague images of an archaic and crude form of earth based magician. Oftentimes this word has dark connotations, ones of black magic or things relating to the underworld. Oftentimes people feel as though it is a native American title that most directly translates to “medicine man” or “witch doctor,” and refers to someone known for eccentricity, schizophrenic fits and other wild behavior who speaks of spirits and the spiritual realm in misty, ambiguous metaphors and far out aphorisms that don’t really apply or make sense to the rational mind of the average well grounded person.

It is no secret that most marriages these days are failing, and less relationships than ever are even making it to the point of marriage. I have a theory on one of the main reasons why I believe that this is, which I believe is due to the lack of proper power exchange in relationships today. Relationships are of course about two people being partners and thus sharing the power that they once had independently in their lives. This can happen one of two ways, 1.) Through the parties both struggling to have the same power in the relationship, and 2.) Through the parties exchanging power in the relationship. I have learned a lot about how to have a successful relationship through Power Exchange and Dominant & submissive roles in relationships over the past decade I have spent in the BDSM world. And in this article I am going to share what I have learned and the theories I have developed on healthy successful relationships through this information, which I hope will help you be able to benefit by having them yourself.

Dating With The Law of Attraction

To Get Your Ideal Mate

The Law of Attraction states that you will get what you think about and visualize getting. However in dating that is not often the case. You don't attract who you want, or imagine yourself getting, or think you should get. You attract who you are. Because as the law of attraction states, "like attracts like". And so you shouldn't be dating unless you have as much or more to offer as you need to receive in a partner. Because if you are approaching dating from a standpoint of wanting/needing something(s) from someone else due to a feeling of lack from within yourself, and not having much to offer that person, you are not going to attract someone who will fulfill your needs, but rather someone who will similarly be looking for someone to take from in a vicious circle of vampirically using each other and causing a constant energy deficit in both people, like being stuck in an energy vacuum. This is why so many people end up in partnerships based upon taking from one another that is mutually diminishing rather than mutually fulfilling. But relationships should be about mutual fulfillment, growth and synergy together, not mutual diminishing each other. Luckily through The Law Of Attraction you can create that kind of synergy.

I love it when people tell me I shouldn't be doing or teaching something about sexuality because God says its wrong, not knowing that I am an ordained minister and know what I am talking about more than they do. Here is how many of these conversations go, and an actual conversation transcript that happened recently:

Supposed Christian trying to tell me my business: "So what do you do?"

Me: "I am a Sexual Educator"

Supposed Christian trying to tell me my business: "So are you teaching sex as God intended?"

Me: "I teach how to have a healthy fulfilling sex life, its up to people to apply it to their own preferences."

Supposed Christian trying to tell me my business: "So are you teaching that this should only happen between a married man and a woman?"

Over the course of my life I have noticed that there are a successful socialite person who is welcomed everywhere they go and able to make friends with just about anyone. These rules are taught from childhood by high society or socialite parents, and sometimes by higher status individuals to lower status individuals when inviting them to social functions, or sometimes teachers or friends, but without having one of these people in your life to teach you how to function socially in situations where your manners really matter, you are bound to do something rude or offensive, or that shows low status or that you do not know how to function socially in these types of situations and probably do not get invited to many social functions of their nature. Thus showing bad social manners at any type of social function will most always cause you to not get invited to any like them in the future. This makes you socially unsuccessful and thus you will have low social status.

The whole reason I created True Life Development was because I am awake and aware enough to see all of the problems with the world and with human nature, at least with modern man. The world is failing, and in many ways headed towards an apocalypse because of this. There are so many of social issues and personal issues we need to correct if we are going to better ourselves as a species and make the world a better place. This is why I created True Life Development – to help people to better themselves in order to enact widespread social change over time and make the world a better place for us all to live in.

But of course widespread social change all comes down to the individual and their own personal development. If you are not self actualized and living your dream life as your highest self, then you are no good to society. And since most people are not doing that, but rather are doing the opposite, living in poverty, illness, and degeneration, hence we have widespread social problems in this world.

The Spiritual Merit Of Pleasure & Hedonism

What Is “Spiritual Hedonism?”

Is hedonism spiritual? Could a pleasure centric lifestyle actually have spiritual value, and not be as “wrong” and “immoral” as Christianity says?

Well let’s explore the philosophical world of spiritual hedonism and see what hedonism really means spiritually to those who are not rigid Christians who wish to never enjoy the pleasures of life.

Luckily, these are not very complicated topics, so we can keep it simple.

Many people have probably heard the phrase “Sexual Freedom” before, and not exactly know what it means. And many people may think that they have sexual freedom when in actuality they do not. We live in a very sexually oppressive and controlling culture in which most people are actually not sexually free, as they do not feel free to make their own choices sexually due to various social pressures. And thus most people are not sexually healthy or happy, and will even take on the social narratives of their oppression to make excuses for why they are not doing what they really want to, or even deny that they want what they want, and say that they want what they are told to want by society, when in fact they do not. I recently put out a video on my philosophy of the value of sexual freedom that you may have seen. But in such a culture of sexual oppression in which people have been so brainwashed with the narratives of sexual oppression most people are complete strangers to the idea of sexual freedom, and probably have no idea what it is or means, and why it is something that everyone should have. So many people may be wondering, what is sexual freedom exactly? What does it mean to be sexually free, and how does it work? And why is it something that everyone including you should have and how would it benefit you?

What It Means To Be Sexually Healthy

The Criteria Of Sexual Health

Most people in the world are not sexually healthy. Rather the opposite, most people do not have a healthy active sex life, and are sexually unfulfilled, repressed, and frustrated, and thus sexually unhealthy. This is due to the sexually oppressive cultures we all live in. But sexual health is an important and integral part of both physical and mental health. So without being sexually healthy one cannot be physically or mentally healthy. And one can also not have a happy fulfilling lifestyle, since sexual fulfillment is an integral and important part to general fulfillment and happiness in life.

Everyone has wants and needs in life, as well as things they do not want in life. And people want to be able to get what they do want, and not what they do not want. In fact being able to choose to get what you want and not what you don’t want is seen as one of the most fundamental inalienable human rights.

Why? Because that freedom to choose what happens to you goes right along with the fundamentally important human quality that we believe makes us human beings and gives us our humanity. What is that quality?

For those who know anything about psychology you know that there are what are called “Personality Archetypes” which were first set forth by Carl Jung one of the pioneers of modern psychology, but now there are a lot of personality profiles that can tell you what your personality type is as well. When it comes to romantic relationships and how we relate to the opposite sex there are a specific set of personality archetypes for that and how we do so. These are especially exciting and illustrate the various personality traits and behavioral patterns people use for seduction and romance.

Man in his natural environment, that is: “Paleolithic man”, actually never drank milk. He lived off of what nature gave him, and the only milk that was was the milk of his mothers. But as man evolved and spread out throughout the world, in some environments food wasn’t always easy to come by. Sometimes people faced scarcity, droughts, famine and starvation. We drink milk because starving people living in the wild learned agriculture and how to domesticate animals to help them survive. They found that even though human mothers don’t produce milk for very long, animals can be made to produce it all the time, and it gave them something to drink that helped them to survive since other food wasn’t abundant at all times of the year.

Everyone knows that there is nothing fun about getting older. In fact it is a very painful process that not only robs us of our youthfulness and everything that made it good, but causes us to lose our strength and energy, our health, our attractiveness, and causes us great pain and suffering and greatly depletes our quality of life. In fact some say that there is little reason to live for a long time because of the fact that the second half of your life isn't very good at all, and can get quite bad for many people who have to deal with serious difficulties and physical disorders that old age causes.

You may have heard before that there are a few different levels of consciousness, such as the unconscious, subconscious and conscious, or the Id, Ego and Superego. But there are actually 7 more specific levels of consciousness pertaining to how your mind processes thought and information in order to make it part of your consciousness and mental reality. These 7 are what I am going to teach you about in this article here today, and they are known as:

Introduction

It’s no secret that most men do not understand women very well, and thus they have very little idea about what they are doing when they try to get women. Even the men who are good looking themselves, or think they are good with women often actually are not, and will fail and get rejected time and time again because of the mistakes they make. For in fact ALL men have 10 common general mistakes that they make with women.

These 10 mistakes are so common because of a number of things: the way men are socially conditioned and made to think this is how they are supposed to act with women, a lack of understanding of women and thinking that what works on themselves should work on a woman, being taught the wrong things by parents and peers, which used to work or may work in theory but actually do not in the real world of today, and sometimes just having limiting mindsets. Unfortunately any time that even one of these common mistakes come up in an interaction with a woman it will kill all chemistry you had with her, all of attraction she had for you, and destroy any chances you had with her. For these are the things that most rejections are due to.

Enlightenment is seen as the spiritual goal of most all religions. The attainment of the highest spiritual state of being and consciousness. Having your consciousness completely illuminated with light, so that you can see and know everything. Having a rapturous state of consciousness that is like that of god, or what is known as “The Godhead”. Of having divine knowledge, and divine bliss, and blessings, and the ability to share that with others here on earth.

Luckily in Buddhism they have devised what I like to call an entire “Map To Enlightenment” that teaches you exactly how to make your way up the mountain, step by step on your spiritual path of attainment.

In the long tradition of courtship, there has been a tradition of drinking alcohol on dates. Having drinks has always been an integral part of dating for some reason. Most people when going out on dates, are for some reason going out just for drinks, or to a place where they will have drinks perhaps while doing something else, of not just sitting there drinking and talking. But not just any kind of drink, one that is intoxicating. It seems so natural and normal when you are doing it, yet when stated so plainly in this way it also seems very strange that people would consider sitting at a table having intoxicating beverages with each other and somehow view that as a romantic “date” and an important aspect of courtship. And no one seems to know exactly why they are doing this either, and are simply doing so because it is a common tradition. Do you know why people do this? What makes it a tradition?

The Types Of People Who Are

Incapable Of A Healthy Relationships:

The "Dark Triad" Person

Most people out there have been in unhealthy relationships before. And oftentimes you found yourselves caught in these situations because your partner made you believe that they really cared about you, wanted to have a healthy relationship with you and were capable of one, and were willing to do what it took to make the relationship work, and that you could trust them in all of that. But no matter how much they made you believe these things, the relationship never ended up being healthy.

Have you ever noticed how people in society tend to congregate into different groups (social cliques) based on their personality types? And that each person tends to have a certain status in their group, and each group tends to have a certain status in society? This is because societies exist with a social structure called a “hierarchy”, also known as “classes” of people, from the most dominant high status leaders at the top, to the subordinate/submissive and average members in the middle, to the unpopular low level/status members at the bottom, and even some outliers.

This is not something that has been organized intentionally by government authorities and social engineering, this is simply the inherent way of the world and the natural order of us social animals. And where you fall into place and exist in the social hierarchy is entirely based upon your social personality type and what your natural place in your social environment is. So if you have ever been curious about sociology and the social structure of society and why things are the way that they are, or wondered about who you are socially and why your social life is the way it is, this article is going to explain exactly that to you. We will start at the top of the social hierarchy, and work our way to the bottom.

The Horrible Problems With Christianity

Why Even though I love God & Christ,

I Am Not Only Not A Christian

But I Reject Christianity Entirely

Often I will meet christians who ask what I do, and when they hear that I am a metaphysicist, spiritual teacher, and ordained minister, they will want to make sure that what I am teaching is christianity. They are sure that christianity is the only way that a spiritual person should be and that being christian is all one has to be in order to be "good" and "right". Ironically I know without a doubt that even though I do not think of myself as a christian, I act more like Christ than people who call themselves christian, and live by the ethics of christ more. It is the fact that I know God/Christ and am a very spiritual person, rather than being a religious "christian" that I have a moral code that I live by and I live to do good in this world every moment of every day.

The 25 Worst Ideas & Advice About Dating, Love, Sex & Relationships That You Most Commonly Hear In Society

-DEBUNKED!-

We've all heard it before. Floating around in society there are tons of bad ideas and advice and other messages about dating, love, sex and relationships that we get fed one way or another through our social conditioning. These may be told to you in a more or less direct manner by someone who knows you are in a relevant situation, or they may be more abstract ideas that are simply widely accepted by the consensus but not really spoken about explicitly. Either way, none of these ideas are talked about literally or in depth, because the more explicitly you speak about them, the more absurd they seem.

People who do not eat healthy are almost always doing so because of a lack of vegetables in their diet. And the lack of vegetables in someone’s diet is often attributed to not having enough time for cooking them. Usually people are under the impression that vegetables only taste good if they are part of complicated recipes where they are cooked with a lot of other ingredients for a long time in order to change their flavor, and that they do not taste good on their own with minimal cooking. This however is certainly not the case, at least not for some types of vegetables. I have many favorite vegetables that require minimal preparation/cooking, and little to no seasoning. There are some that are delicious when just cooked right with a little salt, and take very little time or energy to make. This would make them an easy side dish to supplement your main course if it is meat, and turn a meal that would otherwise not be very nutrient rich or healthy into one that is. And some of these can even be substituted for meat and made into the main course themselves. Or because they are so quick and easy to make, they can be had as a snack anytime you need to give yourself a boost in energy. Here I am going to teach you about every one of these vegetables and how you can make them so that you can integrate them into your diet without any hassle.

Social anxiety is a topic that has been on the rise for some time, and something that most people experience at some point in their lives, if not much more often than that. Social anxiety is what happens to the brain when you are low on practice and the social centers of your brain aren't getting enough activity so they start to shut down and it goes into an anti-social mode. It is also what happens when we experience social traumas, that is, social experiences that do not cause us physical injury, but which the brain still wires in as trauma due to their potentially detrimental nature. These experiences include harsh rejections, bullying, public humiliations, heart break, and being ostracized from a social group. Basically being treated like the runt of a litter and having no social standing, or losing what social standing you once had, causes social anxiety. This is because in ancient times when we lived in small social groups, this was basically a death sentence. However today these experiences are not, they are simply an emotional hardship that we must sometimes endure. And it is natural to experience social anxiety in certain times and situations, such as when you are trying to meet new people because your last social circle had been treating you poorly, or towards potential mates if your last one broke your heart. And instead of going to a psychiatrist and getting prescribed some drug to make you feel better but not actually get better, this can actually be a growth experience that can lead to greater emotional strength, and social skills.

Understanding The Differences In Various Fitness Equipment

Are you just getting into fitness and don’t know what kind of equipment to use, because you don’t know what the differences are in the different types of equipment? Well each type of equipment does have its own uniqueness and will exercise you slightly differently than doing the same type of exercise on a different piece of equipment. So for instance: doing pushups, resistance band chest press, machine bench press, dumbbell bench press, and barbell bench press (all of the exercises that you will see pictured below) may all be essentially the same type of movement and exercise the same muscles, but they all do so in slightly different ways. And each will have various pros and cons and trade offs between them. It is important when getting started on your fitness journey to understand what these differences are so that you can choose to do the right exercises on the right pieces of equipment. So here in this article I am going to go over the different types of exercise equipment and what exactly the pros and cons and trade offs of each are so that you can understand them fully and know exactly which ones to choose for your exercises.

How To Have Amazing Sex By Combining Seduction And Sexual Escalation With Communication And Consent

Now I want to talk about a very important topic. How To Have Amazing Sex By Combining Seduction & Sexual Escalation With Communication and Consent! Which means how to escalate sexually into foreplay and sex with someone while also gaining their consent along the way so that you are only doing things that they want you to do with them (and in many cases making them want you to do the things you want to do to them through a seductive process). And communicating about them definitively to make sure that the sexual experience you are having with them is mutually agreed upon and pleasurable for you both. This will ensure you can have a good sexual experience together and that they will want to come back for more, rather than feel any kind of regret afterwards.

What Are Relationships?

Relationships all begin for the same basic reason. We have someone who we find agreeable enough that we find ourselves in accord with them on a number of things, and so we think to ourselves, “I like this person, I would like to sign up to spend more time with them.” Sociologically speaking a relationship is simply a social construct in which two people are continuing to interact over a prolonged period of time. In other words, they continue to sign up to interact over time, and their mutual agreement to do so forms the basis of their relationship, and their series of interactions, forms their relationship itself. Likewise relationships all end for the same basic reason. People think to themselves “This isn’t’ what I signed up for, I do not agree to this.” It may not be those exact words verbatim, but it will be some version of that, such as “I am not ok with this”, or “this doesn’t work for me”, or “I do not like this or want this anymore”, or “I did not know it was going to end up being like this, this isn’t what I wanted.” But whatever the cause they either do not find the person/situation/relationship agreeable anymore, and/or did not know that it was going to be like this and that this is what they had inadvertently agreed to when they signed up for their relationship (which they would not have agreed to if they had known and wish they had known sooner). So they exit their arrangement. That is what a relationship is. It is a social agreement, a verbal contract. Something that you commit to and sign up for, with some sort of mutual understanding between the two of you that you are going to maintain this arrangement and things are going to be a certain way between you two. However as the relationship ages and undergoes different situations and circumstances, different things come into play. The relationship may have started out with a certain basic agreement, but that basic agreement will not have taken into consideration everything that could possibly come into play over the course of the time you are going to be together. These things cause complications, because the partners never discussed them and what the agreement is supposed to be about them, and they may feel different ways about them.(more…)

The 30 Most Important Ways To Get & Keep A Quality Man (And You Won’t Without Them)

One thing that really pains me as someone who educates people about dating and relationships is when I see all the bad advice out there that is given to women. Most women get the worst advice from friends and family who aren't experts and are just saying things that they think sound good, and even from dating coaches which really only tell women what they want to hear because they know they will make more money doing so. The truth is that this information they are getting is hurting them, not helping them. Because of that more women are single than ever before and this is largely due to all of the misinformation they get about dating and how to get into a good relationship with a quality man. This is in part due to the fact that they would rather be listening to advice that sounds nice or tells them things that they want to hear rather than advice that is true and practical and works. But eventually I suppose any of these women will have to get frustrated enough to want to actually face the facts and learn the truth about what they actually need to know and what will work. And that is what I am going to give you here. As a man, who can assure you from talking to thousands of other men over the years that these are the 30 things definitive things that will make or break a relationship with a man. And coincidentally these are the 30 main things that most women are doing totally wrong in dating and I'm sure are the main causes of them not being able to get or keep a quality guy. So here to make sure you now can, I give you the 30 do's and don't's of how to get and keep a quality man.

Total Domination! The Inner Game Of Being A Dominant Man

Women want to be dominated. They enjoy being submissive. If you understand the nature of the yin and yang archetypes and energies, you know that the female archetype is yin, and the male archetype is yang. Feminine polarity is receptive, passive, and submissive, masculine polarity is proactive, aggressive, and dominant. It is the nature of the female spirit to be submissive to the dominant male spirit. This is generally speaking of course and is true for most women, with the few exceptions of the women out there who prefer to be the sexually dominant one in their relationships, but they are the exception and not the rule. Generally most (about 70%) of all women are submissive. And while many men are not dominant, it is not because they are not dominant by nature, for masculinity is dominant by nature. It is because they have been taught that it is improper to be too foreword or aggressive with women, and that if they do they will be seen as being “Creepy” or “perverted” etc. However nothing could be further from the truth. This is in fact the proper way for a man to behave when relating to women, if he wants them to be attracted to him and to be successful with them sexually. Though many men have been made to be weak and timid with women by their social conditioning, and submissive and supplicating towards them by their mothers. They have been taught to just be nice and not to be too proactive or assertive, and have even been made to feel insecure and ashamed of their sexuality, and do not have the confidence they need to succeed with women. So you must shed this attitude and realize that men are naturally dominant, and that it is in fact what women want. There is nothing wrong with being aggressive or dominant with women, they like it and want you to do it. They just don’t want to have to tell you that, they want you to be the one to take the initiative to go for what you want, that is attractive. And they want a good man to be able to submit to sexually to seduce them and give them pleasure. Submission is something that women desire greatly and find a lot of gratification in. Many women even consider male dominance necessary for their relationship to be satisfactory. When you are dominantly seductive you are giving the woman a gift of pleasure. (more…)

Introduction to Gynocentrism

And Misandry (Sexism Against Men)

I was raised by a first wave feminist and taught about equality and women’s rights growing up. That was decades ago though, back when men and women could get along. Over the last decade I have watched feminism come to dominate the political and social worlds, even the world of social media, the dating world, the sex ed world, and other niche communities, such as the online dating industry, the porn industry, and the Kink/BDSM world, and basically any social community or industry where male/female sexual dynamics are the focus. This has made the social world at large a gynocentric culture which caters to women at the expense of men. Since the third and fourth waves of feminism have emerged (which are more about women winning the battle of the sexes than equality,) there has been a growing trend of women who feel a need to emasculate men and make men feel like less of a man. This is most commonly and done with the phrase we are all too familiar with of "you are not a real man". We have all heard this phrase used to such an extent that it has become cliché. There is no good reason for it, and they only do this in order to coerce a man to try to behave the way they want, by attaching his sense of identity as a man to the behavior they want him to exhibit, and a break down of said identity to his non-conformity. This is similar to gas lighting and is an incredibly toxic sociopathic thing to do to someone. But women these days seem to love emasculating men because it not only is a great form of ammunition they can use to try to get the man to conform to their wishes, but it makes them feel powerful. This a very dark trait that is ironic because it is most often done by women who have a feminist "girl power" attitude, but yet they are completely ignoring the fact that this is actually an extremely and extraordinarily sexist thing to say to someone. This is so far beyond any form of sexism that feminism has rebelled against.(more…)

1 - Compound Exercises

Compound movements/exercises are exercises that engage multiple muscle groups, not just one. So for instance doing a chinup engages most muscles of the back, as well as the rear delts (shoulders), biceps and even the chest. Doing squats engages all of the muscles of the legs, and even a little bit of the lower back as well. These are examples of compound exercises, as opposed to isolation exercises (explained below), and are superior to isolation exercises because compound exercises engage and work muscle groups together as they were naturally meant to be, give you the ability to do more work in one exercise, and create more anabolic hormones/processes in the body.

The Positivity Paradox & “Toxic Positivity”

A lot of people like to try to be positive, and of course, why wouldn't you? Positivity is positive....Except when it's not...

Many people have heard the term pH but do not know what it means. Still others have never even heard of it before...this is not good, because your pH is the foundation of your health! It is the balance between the acidity and alkalinity in your body.

Honesty is a scary idea for some

Should you always be honest?

Should you ever lie in your relationships?

Now I know what your probably thinking…what an obvious answer to this question it is that “Honesty is the best policy”…Right?

But if the answer was that obvious why would I write a whole blog on it?

Obviously this is still a necessary topic, as so many people in relationships still lie to each other…

Dishonesty is one of the biggest problems in relationships…It always has been, and always will be…

Because people just have trouble being 100% honest with one another! Even in the most intimate of relationships!
