DAY 44 - When you're angry . . .

A dilemma: how do I know which is which?
Am I sad or mad? Or both? Or none?

How do you know when you're angry? That's the question.

The answer is you don't. Why? 

- First of all, a person rarely knows specifically when he or she's angry. Only the people around them, those who are directly affected by their anger. They know for they can feel it. Then the moment you know or are aware, you're no longer angry.

- Second, anger is relative because it's emotionally subjective. People may tell you that you have a hot temper or you're depressed at the time, but you don't think so. For you, you're not. For the men, normally you'd say that's the way men are. You're being assertive and a little noisy. And for the women, you're just sad and worried. For you, that's not anger but melancholy. I got some news for you, sadness is anger in disguise. Observe and see. Basically, your perception of anger is different from others. 

Well, whats' the point then?

The point is simple: Be Aware. 

Subjectively speaking, when you enter a room or a place where there's someone you're at odd with but don't want to admit it, have you ever felt a kind of tension under your throat or a tingling sensation in your brain or a rushing of the blood onto your face or shortness of breaths or rather, a sudden natural suffocation? Put simply, do you feel suffocated at the presence of that particular individual? 

If that's the case you can safely say to yourself you have a lingering anger. If this anger is not addressed it will control your attitude and behavior.

Look and see for yourself. 

Whenever you feel that way, breathe out . . . Here's where your breathing out . . . is useful and really helpful.

Breathe out . . . now into the serene surrounding of the peaceful and gentle Holy Spirit.

God bless y'all.

DAY 43 - Emotion Question.

You look yummy. Should I eat you or not?
To eat or not to eat, that's the question.

Questions arise from two (2) sources: your mind or your heart.


From your mind they're logic. They're cold, calculated and structural. They give no life but deplete your strength. You need rest after a time of the mind questioning.


From your heart they're emotion. They're real and natural for you can feel it. They burn you like wildfire. You can't help but to allow them to expose and express themselves. If you don't they'll eat you up inside. Then you'll have ulcer or some sort of sadness or depression.


The heartfelt emotional questions already exist in your mind and occupy your inner space. They will fight until they emerge. They come from the sense of righteousness and justice or rather, frustration because of injustice.


So what to do with them? 


- Let them out. Release them in the most helpful and healthy way. And how?


Stay still and completely calm. Don't make a move. Observe them lovingly. Listen to them carefully as if you're listening to a chirping bird or a barking dog. If you move they may fly away or even attack you. Cherish them so you can understand them. In fact, it's really understanding yourself.


What you want to do is to see its real nature and enjoy its presence. You do that by being with them and you breathe them out . . . into the peaceful atmosphere of the Gentle Holy Spirit.


God bless y'all.

DAY 42 - Nose Conscious.

Your nose is the gateway to the ultimate all-in-all. 
Don't leave home without it. 

Have you ever observed your nose? Or as a kid have you ever tried to look down at your nose directly?


If you haven't, try now. It's fun, especially when do it in front of the kids. You'll get their attention and they'll follow you everywhere. But you have to do it conspicuously and dramatically.


Nevertheless . . . don't do it front of adults or the nobles and notables. They'll think you're a stuck-up weirdo and need psychiatric help!


And why? 


- Try it with anyone of those respectable adults, perhaps your own boss for instance, you'll know right away.


Now here is how. Everytime someone, especially your boss, wants to talk to you, look at him or her through your nose and respond, you'll see their reaction. This is a 100% guarantee!


Mind you, this kind of behaviour only reserves for those of you who are bored with life and have nothing to do or want to feel what it means to be real. Are you one of them?! If not then this is not for you. If yes then have fun. Try it and see, that is, observe people through your nose. However, do it with discretion. Don't act too conspicuous like you're nose-observing them!


When you do this often, it'll become a habit. Then you'll become professionally nose-conscious. 


- But why? Why should you be a nose-conscious professional? What do you gain from it?!


Simple. You'll be self-conscious rather than self-centered and self-serious. You'll be real and in the moment. Most of all, it's fun.


Nose-conscious is the condition for you to be in the present. 
Nose-conscious is also the condition for you to be self-aware.
Nose-conscious is the ultimate condition for you to be breath-aware.

A new dance move: Nose Breaker . . . Bet you can't beat that!

Truly the hinge of life and death lies at the nose. Thence comes in life and thence comes out demise. Thence comes in divine breath and thence comes out human death. Thence one finds strength for the body, clarity for the mind, peace for the heart and rest for the soul.


Once again, here's how. 


Be aware of your breathing . . . . now.


Be aware of the breath entering and exiting your nose. 


Be aware of the breath entering and exiting your right nose and then your left. 


Notice when you shut the right hole of your nose with your right thumb and breathe out 12 times, you'll find your mind become quite clear and your body relaxed . . . . . Then you shut the left hole with your left thumb and breathe out 12 times, you'll chase off tiredness and regain your strength naturally. That's how you get rid of headaches and get back your energy quickly without resorting to medicines or becoming drug dependent.


Simply close your eyes, shut your right nose and breathe out 12 times . . ., you'll feel lightness and stress free . . . . . Then do the same for your left nose and breathe out 12 times . . ., you'll find strength and self-composure.


Breathe out . . . now into the atmosphere of hope and love in the Most Humble and Holy Ghost.


God bless y'all.
