Random Thought: Are you embarrassed?

Me: The only thing I'm embarrassed about was pretending to be someone I'm not for 10 years of my life.

Entry 212.1 - About Meditation

Meditation can activate bioelectric energy, and with practice, you can direct this energy to the pineal gland, stimulating and helping it open.

For meditation to be effective, your mind must become still so the scattered energy in your body can consolidate.

This relaxed focus releases neuropeptides and nitric oxide, triggering the relaxation response. These chemicals allow you to move into deeper meditation while stimulating the third eye region.

Melatonin, the primary chemical produced and circulated by the pineal gland, increases in meditators' brains, as studies have shown.

Using functional MRI scans, researchers at Taiwan University found that meditation activates the pineal gland.

A study involving two individuals during an ayahuasca (DMT) experience showed increased “global EEG coherence in the 36-44 Hz and 50-64 Hz frequency bands.” These frequency bands are known as gamma waves.

Next, consider what brainwave frequencies correlate with melatonin production in the pineal gland. The answer: delta waves, which occur during deep, dreamless sleep.

During REM sleep, the brain is active with theta waves, and theta and gamma waves work together during this stage.

To use brainwave entrainment for pineal gland activation, employ binaural beats and isochronic tones that activate delta, theta, and gamma frequencies.

Entry 212.2 - February 13th 2020

I think the reason there’s such an element of mystery surrounding our existence is that maybe—just maybe—we're meant to discover something profound.

Maybe there’s more than religion, more than education, more than where you live or who you marry. Maybe the point isn’t solely about building a relationship with God, family, and friends, but about "solving the puzzle" or "winning the game of life." Perhaps the setup, where no one truly knows, is part of the game.

Entry 212.3 - January 14th

When you accept "what is" in every moment as the best possible outcome, that is enlightenment.

Entry 212.4- February 13th

Look in the mirror. Don’t label yourself, don’t judge yourself—just look. The person you see has endured so much. You’ve faced some of life’s hardest challenges, and you got through them. Here you are, standing strong. Remember when you thought you couldn’t make it through that trial? Look at you now. You did it. Remember when they said you couldn’t do it or tried to bring you down? You’re still here, standing tall.

You’ve experienced incredible highs and crushing lows, but here you are. Alive. Breathing. You still have so many years to live life to the fullest. So, focus on every single moment. Be so immersed in the present that you’re fascinated by life and curious about everything. Give your fullest attention to the present, to yourself, and to others. Seek out ways to improve someone’s life—not in a few days or months, but right now.

Entry 212.5 - February 7th 2020

If life is a game, I want to win.

Entry 1,630 - January 15th 2023 There’s a difference between spiritualizing life by moralizing and immoralizing daily matters and living life in such a way that uproots preconceived notions of what is considered bad and good by the religious. One intends to force morality into life inorganically according to the groupthink of the religious group, and the other intends to live life more freely and harm-free according to universal principles of life. The latter does not mean you live life without morality but rather that you live beyond the cut-and-dry staples of what each religious group considers moral and immoral. The latter means you go to the essence of what true morality points to—whether someone’s actions cause harm or healing. It does not seek to go beyond that universal essence of morality. It does not puff up the essence with unnecessary doctrines and concepts that clutter and confuse the mind. It does not go beyond the essence to instill unnecessary fear, guilt, and shame. It ...

Entry 45 - Lesson on Compliments

-
7/28/19 The old self is attracted to negative thoughts and the new self, the real you, is attracted to positive thoughts. The old self embodies all the negative so it wants what it is, and the new self embodies all things positive, so it seeks to be reinforced with what it already is. That's why I believe it is so important to speak truth into people, to reinforce who they truly are because it awakens the real self and keeps them consciously focused on who they really are. There was an experiment done where they insulted a plant and then for another plant, they only spoke nice words, and the results were shocking. The words carried weight on the actual growth or decay of those plants. So if plants don't speak English, then what could possibly be the reason behind one plant living its best life due to the positive words spoken to it and the other plant withering and dying due to negative words being spoken to it in the same controlled situation? Everything, and I mean everyth...

Entry #21 - Lesson on Problems

-
I was contemplating how small I am compared to the universe, and then I considered how much smaller my problems are compared to the universe, to the mountains, and even to me. I considered what even is a problem? And I realized that problems are problems because they affect us in some way that we wish we weren't affected by. However, we have the potential to determine if something is actually a problem or if it can be seen in a new light.  We can focus on how something is negatively affecting us, or we can focus from another point of view and see the positive lessons we can learn it. Truly, a positive perception on this could definitely help retrain ourselves to think much more positively and contribute to a better overall way of thinking when they come our way. So I'm going to propose looking at "problems" in a new light. So I said a problem normally is considered a problem because it affects us in some way, shape or form; but if we choose to change our perception ...
