Human Energy Make Over

Meditation ~
Human Energy Management

Meditation has been around since the first Human looked to the sky and was lost in thought, wondering what was beyond the stars.

There are also many forms and styles of it, yet it is all designed to take us to the same place - ourselves. The infamous Self - I - I AM. Yet it is a simple process with extremely profound results. What was once a mysterious practice of Monks living in temples on a mountain, is now becoming an integral part of world cultures.

In my own teachings I have dispelled with the ancient terminology’s of Sacred texts, as science has now joined in the idea that Human wholeness is a matter of honoring the Sacredness and the scientific aspects of the Human experience. Meditation is as profound to the biology of us as it is to our spiritual aspects. No longer do we view these as enemies, or even as separate. I refer to meditation more as a skill of energy management in our lives, than a spiritual practice.

So - lets skip the tour of the ancient temples in the Himalayan Mountains and see where it applies in our lives we live everyday. I am not the Dahli Lama. Although I do have a deep and sincere respect for him and his work in the world.
I had children to raise, home to maintain, jobs to work, and all the stress that went with it.

Why did I choose to meditate regularly in a day already filled? To arise early and to make sitting for twenty to thirty minutes a top priority, staying up late to study and to learn things many considered a waste of time and nonsense to the lifestyle I was living within?
The answer was simple to me, I wanted control over my life, my - Self. As I looked into the life I was dealing with, kids running around, wife flipping out from the stress of all the days demands, thinking of my jobs demands, what needed to be done around the house, “ the American dream ‘’ I was hit with an epiphany - this is insanity! That as soon as I stepped into the midst of that, the repetition of the day before would occur, as the day before that one, and the next days to come, until I burned out or died - same thing. In that epiphany I saw clearly that my day was filled to the brim with trying to meet everyone’s demands, calming out of control emotions, putting out the fires, and smoothing out the short circuiting.
The clinical definition of insanity ‘ doing the same things, the same way everyday, yet expecting a different result. ‘ Summation - DUH !!!

I surrendered in that moment - I cannot change all this - only myself. Simply put, my days were lived in reaction to all those around me, I needed to respond to my own needs, and I had no idea what they were. In all that ‘ busyness ‘ little was being accomplished. As I looked into my life I realized clearly, there was no calm there, probably never would be, I had to become the calm of response and abandon the chaos of reaction. ( re- action )
This is what I have and had in common to people that I have taught this to, they wanted escape from the chaos. Yet life is chaos, it is messy, it is emotional, and in Human Beings energies of chaos find calm and purpose, direction and refinement.
The word emotion comes from the phrase, energy in motion. Human Beings are managers of energy, great energies and powerful ones. Or they are the controlled puppets of others energies. Ponder this a moment and it becomes crystal clear to you in relation to your own lives.
But what is it exactly that binds us to those that are controlling us? Some say it is love, but the word love often masks need. Need is the seed of addiction. So what need is being served?
In my own life, it was the addiction to chaos and bedlam, even violent energy, much like the person that does not leave an abusive relationship, it is their addiction that keeps them there, no other reason. I was raised in such energy, so it was natural to seek the same in my own life. Like a baby born by a crack addict.

We live on energy, not food. Our bodies eat food and convert it to energy, what it cannot convert, it classifies as waste and dispels. So our true life sustainer is energy, not food. This is not a belief, it is science agreeing with scripture. So in my earlier referred to epiphany, I saw my addiction to the chaos I was walking into everyday. Again - DUH !

In a state of meditation you are tapped into an energy that is pure, much as when person is praying, with sincerity and love of God, asking nothing, just desiring to be in that feeling because you know intuitively that is healthy and renewing to do so.
The chaos of life is still going on outside your prayers, you just are not feeling it while in that state. This defines the term Sacred, a state of pure and renewing energy.
Meditation is the same, but more powerful in my opinion and experiences. I often say that prayer is the art of talking with God and meditation the art of listening to the answers.
Speaking from an energy perspective alone, meditation switches your diet from fast food to healthy power foods. But the results remain the same as the one of food, you are in control of whether you go home and make a healthy meal, or hit the drive through because it is easier and what you know to do. Inevitably we all choose our own health and wellbeing. But remember, no choice is also a choice.
I have taught hundreds across the decades, some stay with the healthier choices, some do not, but it is not my choice to make.

Twenty to thirty minutes a day of deep meditation gives your body the rest equivalent of eight hours of sleep physically. It is not and cannot be a substitute for sleep, but it rests your body as it did when you were an infant. It also begins to release the stress that you body has accumulated in its systems, and releases the minds tensions and confusions.
As we progress we will talk of these benefits more and in more depth. Address your concerns and experiences. I only speak from my own experiences here. I have meditated faithfully for over three decades. Over time I learned to remain in the state as I live my life daily. I do not sit in meditation as I did in the beginning. Human Beings operate best in motion, we are deigned for it. Yet meditation remains the base program for all other forms of enhancement we see today. It is the foundational practice for health related issues and emotional ones as well.
The Secret and Law of Attraction all recommend it as a base practice to achieve the state to operate these new mind sciences that are appearing because it creates the optimum state of mind from which to focus.
The ability’s and potentials of the Human mind are just beginning to be understood and utilized. Ancient texts from all religions and spiritual minds state that the inner world of a Human Being is a universe unto itself, and this is quite true. It is filled with the same wonders and awe inspiring landscapes as the one we are discovering thanks to new sciences and technologies.
Yet such an ancient process as meditation is amazingly simplest and direct way to access this inner world. So take your first ride into that Universe, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Zen of Business

The Zen of Business
by Darrell Borza
(Email: zensunni7@neo.rr.com)

The business world is undergoing some very radical restructuring in these times, as old industries need to revamp themselves to survive in a world of evolved technologies, evolved workers and managerial perspectives.No longer can industry view the worlds people as an ocean of unlimited funds and tap them like it has the resources of the planet. People are more educated now, better equipped with information, and have evolved to see themselves as valuable assetes in their own lives. We are no longer just ‘ consumers ‘ but a force in industry to be dealt with more fairly and honestly. For centuries, people have been veiwed as mindless consumers of goods and services, lead down the primrose path of excess. American business has turned a corner, and around it they found buyers and sellers with a fully functioning brain. All of this is going to require the commanders of industry to re-evaluate their goals and obejectives for the coming decades. Business will have to set new priorities for its products and its people, and can no longer pretend that the planet will support the uncaring gluttony of its resource and its people. In the current system of things, we all need to work, to make a living and continue moving forward as individuals, families, and a race. We also need to see into our futures and work towards cleaning up the mess of our forefathers, organically and morally. I predict this will become an industry unto itself, as the damage has been great. But – greater still, are the abilities of the Human spirit and intellect, our seemingly greatest resource of Human inovation and design, the power of collective problem solving. In every country, city, and little ‘ burg ‘ of the world, people are finding new and creative ways to do things, better, faster, and with efficiencies that would make Henry Ford retire to his realization, that ” His time ” is done. There are more and more peole coming into corporate power that are based in values of integrity, compassion, and sensetivity to the reality that those working on the floor of the factories are just as Human as they are, with the same needs and desires as themselves, the same love of the Human family. The Zen of industry is knowing that only by working together as a whole can we rethink the old ways and create new ways that will move us all forward, while setting right the mistakes of the past. The ‘ common man/woman ‘ is not common any longer, and most importantly, they refuse to be common in any shape,form, or fasion. Human resources of a company are steering towards fullfilling the title, creating the means for people to become better Human Beings, resulting in a better company. Daycare at a company is a beginning, leading to a dept. of Human care. Putting Human needs and values first results in a company that acts as a family, while reaching outward to community and beyond. Enron is the example that will set the presidence of the future. Although one or two people are being prosecuted, it was the fault of many within Enrons doors, from the maintenance peole to the executive board of directors. One person cannot act in such a greedy manner without it being known throughout the comapany. Apapthy of this is what brought Enron down, not the people on trial. It is becoming blatantly clear that industry will rethink its prioroties as global changes force its hand, and their are Human Beings ready to accept the challenges of the future . The Zen of new industry starts with the realization that business is not who we are, it is what we do,to fund and support who we are, and we are moving rapidly towards an echelon of bussiness people that are reprioritizing the antiquated perspective of industry’s past. Although we are pounded daily and hourly by a negative oriented media, forever telling us of the worlds woes, there is a majority of the population working daily to create a positive exsistance in life, and across this planet, changing life for the better and creating industries that aid in the advancement of us all. The greed and gluttony of the past is being called to light in our time, but it does not shine brighter than the advances of the Human heart and soul of its people. This is the true Zen of industry, being compassionetly industrious at all levels of our lives, from the kitchens to the board rooms.

Spiritual Reality

Spiritual Reality
by Darrell Borza
(Email: zensunni7@neo.rr.com)

Spiritual Reality is all around us. It is in the winds, the woods, waters and skies. There is nowhere we can go that it is not. It is in the very air that we breathe.I beleive that spirit is a verb, not a noun, as it is an active force that brings oneness between flesh and soul. It is life as we live it everyday. It is where you walk, talk, love, laugh, eat and cry. Religion has taught us that it is something meant for only a select few in Human history, for Gurus and Saints alone. It is the greatest control hoax ever perpetrated on Humankind – it is a lie. The history of us all is one of controlling us and keeping a ‘ third world ‘ country within our our own race, a subspecies within those that want to raise themselves up on high. What good is wealth, power, and prestige, if all were to share in the abundance of the Universe’s gifts? What religion would we worship if all were to evolve to Jesus and Buddha? What would God be if we all realized our true potentials? Some call it energy, some call it spirit, and some call it God or Goddess. But the majority of the Earth’s people seek it, and after all the centuries, it remains as illusive as ever. I was raised religiously, and cannot abide it in my maturity, nor teach the religion of Jesus, and I feel Jesus is more than allright with that. ” Make no religion in my name ” and what part of that did we miss so drastically ? All of it I think. Buddah was not set as a deity until a good one hundred years after his leaving us, nor did anything he taught dictate that Buddhism should have grown from his teachings. We decided to call them teachers, prophets, and demi-Gods, we rearranged their words to fit our desires and needs. We built them into a religion, and then into a business. I feel we could not have come any farther from the truth of it all, and what these people tried to say. I image talking to Jesus, and it being just that, a talk between two men about life, living it, and how to improve upon it. I also hear him talking of the greatness of being born Human, the grandeur of my potentials, and the inborn design of such a miraculous creature as myself appearing in life. In times of trouble and stress, I feel Buddah walk me down by the creek and reminding me that life is a great adventure, and to see it once again through the eyes of a child, as I once did. I can feel Mother Theresa tell me in a scolding and loving way that I am too caught up in the drama of life, that in the midst of all that Humans do to one another, my troubles pale in comparison, and if I truly wanted to feel better, I would do best by helping someone else feel good about themselves. Albert Einstein would have me look at the vastness of space, all the many galaxies and universes, shaking a bony finger at me to make me see the incalculable odds of being born a Human Being in the midst of so many lifeforms, and the sin of wasting one moment of that gift. Sin is an ancient word meaning error, error in thought, and to feel less than a special child in all the Universe is an error in my thinking. We have rewritten scriptures, history, and the present to suit very selfish desires and agendas. We have believed lies in the name of tradition and honor, only to find they have left our lives empty and acting in ways that do not honor us, our children, nor our seeing any concern for those grandchildren that will inherit our dillusions of righteousness, and worship. I told my children as they grew, if they wanted to be near to God, then take a walk in nature, be silent in its presence, and the wind will speak to you, the words will not come in the wind, but cause feelings to rise from within, and you will understand the language of it. Religion can only be the manner we conduct ourselves in every moment of our lives. Spirituality, has been with us since we first looked at the moon in meditative silence, wondering who we were and why we lived. Since we realized that our life was one of learning about the lands we dwelled, and the voice from within that would tell us who we are. I don’t feel Jesus wanting to rush to church, nor Buddah to the centers built in his name, reading words he probably never spoke. Nor would they invite me anywhere but outside to show me the wonderous nature of what we do not see with our eyes . ” Love your neighbor as yourself ” words we all grew up with, and words we all know regardless of our backgrounds or personal beliefs. I feel we all live these words too. Some as a guide to their days treatment of those they meet, and some find themselves feeling angry, resentful, and bitter towards those they encounter, but they are still living the ‘ Golden Rule ” because they do not love or even like themselves. Somewhere it became wrong to love oneself, as selfish and selfcentered, a sin rather than a believable reality leading to a life of wealth, prosperity, and fulfillment. We were taught to give the best of ourselves away to beleifs that served only a few and rose the quality of living to them alone. Is this not exactly what Jesus got in the faces of religion in his time for? It is what Buddah walked away from in his time, but we are a stubborn race, we hold onto our self loathing until the Earth shakes and quakes our empires to the ground, returning equality to us once more, in the hopes it will stick this time around. If going to church, using crystals, attending the latest new age workshop, or reading the latest ‘ revelation ‘ does it for you, then great. But if it doesn’t, remember we were given all we need to realize ourselves within ourselves, and nothing ‘ makes ‘ us fulfilled and enlightened, all these things only exist to remind us we are . Every tree, brook, stone, and meadow is a living testament to the Love we receive as we continue to search for our particular brand of love, according to someone else’s definition of Love. Meditation is looking to the sky and feeling the greatness of the form you are, and realizing that we can overcome any circumstance if we choose to because we are the same Human that Jesus was, Buddha told us to be, and any other scientist can tell you we are by biology alone. Believe whatever gets you – there. But beleive it with your whole heart and mind, and let your neighbor know you beleive it.

I'm Alive

It Is A Feeling
by Darrell Borza
(Email: zensunni7@neo.rr.com)

I had totally forgotten. When my children were young, I did some very heavy construction work. It payed well, but I loathed it. By the time I hit the driveway I was using all my meditative, spiritual, and phsycological studies and tools to stay planet bound. Then I would reach the driveway, get out and see them all belching out of the doorway to greet me, all five, the loathsomeness and tiredness ran away from me. I was renewed absolutely and fully. It is a feeling, filled with emotion of rejuvenation, a firecracker that explodes all through you,each sparkle is as the very ” Breath Of God.” It is that completely healing, cleansing, empowering. I have forgotten, this is where my journey was heading in the very beginning, to feel that feeling from the very arms of God, confident and strong in the knowledge it would complete me. Through all the studying, all the experiences, the dirven aquisition of new and old knowledge, so many roads travelled for a straight path. Navigating the Universe to find a feeling, so strong, so powerful that falling in love is but a tease of its wholeness. I had also forgotten that the love pouring out my front door everynite was fired by the knowledge that I was able to feel it so strongly. I could wade in its substance , it is that real, all the while drawing strength from it. But mostly, I could return it to them, and therein lied the secret path of my journey. To Love so purely, sets the beacons course, the homing signal is active and each time we love for no reason, but for the feeling, we draw ever closer to home. I had forgotten also that I am created to feel this way, it is the purpose to my creation. To feel so confidently loved and empowered by it, so that I may enhance the world, by way of the truth, only completing myself fullfills my responsibilities in this life.

2012

It IS THE END OF THE WORLD ~ 2012 AD.

I have no fear of the world ending by the date given. We have seen many ' doomsday ' dates come and go. This event in 2012 is a unique event astronomically to be certain, and my feeling is that no-one from science to the most sensitive spiritual minds knows what will occur.
I think there will be great changes, alterations and realignments in energy fields, and this will of course cause changes in the Earths energy's and ours as well.
Yet the actual effects are totally unpredictable by any of us.
I personally am amazed and mildly appalled at the tendency of people to go to the dark and destructive side of things in the way of prophecy and prediction. Where are the positive insights to the Human race? Why are prophecy's seemingly always ones of doom and destruction?

The Law of Attraction is truth - then one has to look at the bigger picture of a large portion of the race believing these thoughts of the worlds end - creating a vibrational match to them. How religion became so dark and dismal in its view of the Human race is beyond my desire to know. I don't believe in the devil, but I know enough people believing it can create the reality ascribed to it.
I think the changes this time will bring will be very profound, it is a very profound event in the Universe, in our galaxy. But do we really feel that the Human race is so horrible that the Universe / God / Source deems us to be eradicated like a virus to it? Do we really believe we are so powerful our actions can destroy a planet this size and an integral part of the Universe? We are screwing up the environment, no doubt. But the Earth is a very powerful force with the ability to cleanse herself, and she will / is. I grew up in the fifties, I saw garbage on the side of the roads, lakes you could not swim in due to oil in them, rivers with so much garbage you could literally walk on it, and fires on the water that burned for days. I recall not seeing the sky from so much smoke from factories, days I could not go outside because the air was so thick with soot.
I do not see those things anymore.

Where is the belief in our goodness, our genius, our never ceasing creativity? Where is the belief we will live on and keep moving forward into the Universe.
2012 is the new fear date, it is marketed to us like other fears that make us buy things we do not need, think thoughts we should not be thinking and stay a controlled people we should not be. I saw people build bunkers, store food and move to places that were the " Only place that was safe " for the millenniums end. I just smiled at it. I saw people line up after 9/11 for gas on a rumor that gas was going to run out, I saw them run out of gas and deadlock a four lane street, police having to go to gas stations. I just sat on the picnic table and smiled.
I am a father and a grandfather, and how dare I preach such horrible things to them about their race. We are capable of great horrors, no doubt, but I invite anyone here to tell me what atrocity was committed in history that was not based in fear being marketed prior to its act.

What if this event were to cause the Earth to advance its cleansing and return it to the paradise it was once, if the air became pure again, the oceans bluer and healthier, and what if we were were actually more enlightened from it, less controllable by fears, and more courageous in our view of ourselves and this race?
I believe the Universe, Earth and all life is Human friendly. The media pushes us to fear, so do not look for this news there. It is greater and more powerful than the fear mongering media will ever admit, its about ratings, not reality.
