Tao 31, Throw Down your Weapons

140992_e7a9

Tao 31

All decent women detest violence,

and so they never take up arms.

Weapons are the tools of fear, decent

women use them only in direst situations

**

When women must use weapons

they act with calm and carefulness.

For the Sage knows there is no

delight or beauty in destruction.

**

The Sage enemies are like herself

and she mourns when she must do

them harm.

**

Peace is the highest value,

and violence cannot replace it.

The Sage never rejoice in the

slaughter of her enemies.

Violence must be mourned

and never celebrated.

Are you a Slave Pretending to be Saved?

403187_04f6

That’s a Bad Man,

**

Countless hours invested in worship, The Tao, Joyce Meyers, or Oprah and we remain spiritually disable.  Our public persona cast a shadow of invincibility; however, deep down inside, we would die if others really discovered the truth.

The truth that reveals the ‘Godly Breastplate’ we proudly display as spiritual supremacy: screens a frighten child.  However, luckily for us, we realize our counterfeit bravery-(Don’t we?).

Why do we perform this pious high-wire act?

Regardless of the circumstances, a static state of judgment is synonymous with self-hate. Our condemnation of someone else indicates a low-level of consciousness.  Our  condemnation removes the bright light away from us. This deflection allows us to fly below the moral radar. Covered by darkness, our inner fears and doubts go unnoticed.

As We Judge, We Deceive

**

Sadly, we defend our indifference to people (e.g., drug-addicts, adulterers, liars) as a noble cause based upon religious convictions. Give me a break. Our public and private scorn reflects our fearful-consciousness. 88062_2d31

When we see others’ darkness and make judgments, we tighten our resolve to keep quiet about our own. The public must never discover what our hidden-thoughts describe.   As slaves, we live in fear of our secrets becoming public.

Regrettably, cocoon in fragile capsules our refutations loudly proclaim spiritual instability. Unfortunately, what appears saintly is actually a display of deceptive consciousness.

Keep your Mind Shut!

**

In this deception, we create a behavioral hierarchy, which protects our behaviors as not being as detrimental as others. (However, we know the truth-don’t we?) Deplorably, when we misbehave, somehow we are not as bad as the persons without God’s grace. Are we?  We deceive ourselves.

The person who judges man’s behaviors possesses a life of limitations and repetitiveness. Unaware of the flaw of self-identification, we falsely perceive a duty to judge, correct or condemn. This thinking is superficial and renders most holders of it to chronic spiritual disability.

Save the world by saving yourself. Surrender mental concepts of judgment and those secret behaviors you hide, may no longer exist.

Who’s Responsible For Your Pain?

580070_7d63You and you alone created your world. Satan, the evil spell or ridiculous superstitions deserves no responsibility for your illusions. Stop, stop right now with the blame game, this contagious spectacle spoils my appetite.

Your obsession for external culpability to your predicament refute solid evidence against the true perpetrator-You. Yes, that is right; it is you. What is the common denominator in all your troubles?

It’s Not My Fault

**

Stop blaming the old boyfriend, the present girlfriend who talks behind your back, or unrealistic missed opportunity. You are the inventor and demolisher of all you perceive. There is no outside comforter responsible to remove your frail consciousness. Stop the irritable speech about who wronged you, we get the picture; it is a broken record.

Cease with the thunderous public declaration that some external force sole responsibility is to make you feel better. Just stop it! What responsibility do you have to your spirit? Do not give me that dress up for Sunday thing, or discipline not to taste a delightful pork sandwich, you made this mess, you get out it.9142_b1d8

Stop using Facebook, Twitter or texting to indict others for your misery. A subtle complaint to the boys indicate a temporary deficit in your consciousness not hers.

All attachments dissolve your capability to develop a relationship with God. All mental and spiritual dissonance signals disconnection from your higher source. The winds of the world controls the mind when this occurs.

Stop Your Complaining!

**

The acceptance that external variables control your emotional and spiritual state demonstrates a lower consciousness. I do not care if the external variables are family members, friends, children or employees; your misery is internal.

Get off the couch, look in the mirror, and destroy the enemy within–Now, do it.

The busy egotistical mind swirl your consciousness wildly and toss your fragile being like a small sailboat. Why does your screams go unheard? You are what you Seek! You are the Great teacher, Guru, and savior to your spirit.

Think about it for a second, all spiritual teachers say what I have written. Your redemption is not only your responsibility, it is within your power.

If honest to yourself this makes perfect sense, however, some will blame  me for saying it.

The Dragon’s Apology

30991_c62cI created a learning mistake. Normally I do not venture into mainstream conversations. I do not want to sound callous, but I do not care to view into the world of 10, 000 things.

There are millions of views published on the internet. Geniuses to illiterates can push a power button, open a word processor and write. (Like Me) I do not comment normally on people’s thought, I am content to comment on a few blog buddies posts on occasion only.

**

A Mind divided

**

The Invisible Dragon is my fortitude for spiritual restoration and divine living.  I do not use it to battle against anything.  I have no wars to fight.  The past couple of days I discovered myself as an antagonist to another individual’s views.

Unfortunately, those views became a topic on the Dragon, this was a mistake. I was prideful, arrogant, and a  malcontent in posting those feelings. I am not the keeper of man’s thoughts. I am an Invisible Dragon.

**

Thankfully, my Zen (Fuu) brother helped guide my spirit back to a higher consciousness. I will return to writing  from my consciousness only, it is peaceful, and it is stillness. The last couple of days were evil; I placed myself inside the evil, I was evil.

The Dragon does not care who you are Jesus Christ, Buddha, Lao Tzu or Joe the Plumber. To fight someone is to fight one’s self. This is the way of a fool. The Invisible Dragon is not a fool.

I do not want to be engaged to man’s thoughts. It is not wise.

A Brother’s Oath

I rightly contend words

from man’s mouth.

Men not well-trained

in human kindness

I lend only an ear.

**

My consciousness

normally waits

in another room.

**

No measure of words convince

the heart more than actions

which proceed the beliefs.

**

Religious piety, noble position,

familiarity or social

acceptability does not

cloud my assessment.274572_ce5f

**

To all men who speak

kind words, I applaud you.

To all men who live

kind words, I am

your brother.
