In reading through Pavel Tsatsouline’s books on flexibility and health I was struck by a powerful integration! He claimed we already have all the muscles we need but we only use 5 or 10% of what is available to us. Does that sound familiar?

He goes on to say the mother that lifts the car to save the life of her baby is not doing it through emotional strength or magical levitation. She is simply using all of her muscle strength. Apparently only 5 or 10% of the muscles we use have nerves firing at any given time. The trick is to get the nerves firing on the other 90 to 95%!

The Russian kettle bell exercises do this through the process of ballistic shock. The entire body absorbs the shock during a kettle bell workout and by spreading the impact throughout the body helps more of the nerves to fire. In my opinion this is why kettle bells are so effective

If we apply the same concept to our mind and thought processes it’s pretty clear that the analogy still holds true. If we want to use more of our mental ability we need to fire those nerves through some form of ballistic shock. Perhaps it might be the exposure to a radical new idea. This shock absorber method is unique in that just a few shocks a day gets better results than a steady grind. The trick is to get more nerves to fire and then let them rest and recuperate till the next time

We can apply this concept to all the energies generated by the physical body. Living intensely means to create spikes or shocks throughout the day with each of the energies. This involves planning and living a balanced life that has a bit of everything in it

What happens is that the physical body becomes filled to overflowing with energy and can no longer contain all the energy. The energy is then released into the astral through one of the bodies energy centers or chakras. We can feel the energy released when it happens

In athletics this is called getting the second wind. But we can experience it with all of the other energies generated by the physical body.

Who created the universe? What is God like? How many angels can fit on the end of a pin? These are all meaningless infinite regression questions that cannot be answered because any reply only brings more questions.

What they do is keep people living in their heads and not involved in physical life or the present moment. That makes them easier to be manipulated and taken advantage of by those that do choose to live in the physical world. In today’s world people are deliberately encouraged to live in a world of fantasy, whether it’s in their heads, watching TV or playing computer games. Our attention is being diverted away from physical reality and that is a very dangerous situation!

How can we discover the infinite possibilities that exist for us within the present moment if we refuse to even be in the present moment? How can we achieve our dreams in life if we never wake up?

Why not simply state that God, the Supreme Creator or the Grand Architect of the Universe is beyond human comprehension! There is no way that our finite minds can comprehend the infinite. But there are things which we can comprehend and let’s turn our energy and discernment toward those things instead! Let’s turn our energies and discernment toward the achievement of our dreams!

Infinite regression questions only bring new questions and the only solution is to stop asking those kinds of questions! Once we realize that is the only way out of the trap we can become free! We have limited time and energy available and we don’t need to waste it pondering imponderables!

There are two types of mysticism. One is healthy and one is unhealthy. Healthy mysticism is organic Gnosticism. It is the wisdom inherent within the cellular structure of all living things and its connection with human awareness, the ego, the watcher self or the soul. Healthy mysticism allows a person to perceive the nonphysical energies in a way that helps us discover the infinite possibilities hidden within the present moment. This is awareness of sensory data from nonphysical sources such as the emotions and intuition as well as direct perception of self-evident realities.

Unhealthy mysticism is living in your head in a reality that is no longer connected to physical reality or to the needs and requirements of your physical body. You can’t achieve the things that you desire in life if you’re not living in life! This means not living in the past and not living in the future! You need to live in the present moment!

Unhealthy mysticism involves surrendering to an external authority and sacrificing one’s personal power to that external authority. The entire concept of sacrificing one’s personal power to an external authority is completely flawed! There is always a win-win situation when we follow our own internal authority! When we do what we were born to do the rest of the world rejoices and supports us! There is no conflict! There is only win-win!

The most healthy type of mysticism is living in one’s heart and listening to the still small voice of conscience and the Christ spirit that dwells within every human heart. This is where you begin to integrate all the other aspects of who you are. This is where you meet others in the most real way possible. This is where true sharing begins!

Some people say that we have natural born rights, rights that belong to us by simply being human beings. You could call them hereditary rights or any other term that’s convenient. We might think of these as rights that we enjoy that have come from our parents. Perhaps our parents were wealthy and we enjoy a good education and many of the finer things in life. Perhaps we are born into a poor family and enjoy the right to work at minimum wage jobs!

There’s another group of people, and I suppose that I belong to this group, that believe in earned rights. That a person has the right to keep those things that they have honestly earned.

Now you see a big war between these two groups! The one group says that we are born equal and have equal rights as human beings. The other group completely ignores natural born rights and focuses exclusively upon earned rights, those things that we earned through our personal efforts. There is bickering and arguing since neither side will ever give in to the other.

So what happens is that somebody more powerful comes along and takes everything away from both of us! They believe that might makes right! And they laugh at the other two groups in amusement.

Now I could leave it at this, but I won’t. I believe in the nonphysical worlds or astral realms and over the past several years I have dreamed about anything significant before it manifested as a physical event in my life. My experience has convinced me that things will happen in the astral planes before they will manifest in the physical. Dreaming about these events before they happen in the physical has become so routine that I no longer question it.

So the true solution is to develop the spiritual self, the soul and its powers so that you can protect yourself spiritually and magically against those that might be physically stronger and more powerful than you. Strength of soul and spirit is much more powerful than physical strength!

Anger, fear, pain and anguish are all lower emotional energies. Determination and resolve are the traits we acquire as we develop these energies. The development of these energies is not easy because there is often a gap between the way we wish things were and the way things really are. Lower emotional energies fill that gap.

At first we are confronted with negative or harmful physical circumstances which we have no control over. We are victims and feel the paralyzing despair of helplessness as events damage our lives and the lives of those we love. That is until we get fed up and decide to do something about the mess that we are in.

We develop these energies by deliberately and methodically confronting our deepest fears and bringing them into full awareness. As we develop these energies we still feel fear but we force ourselves into physical action to defend and protect ourselves from further damage and suffering. We learn to physically respond in an appropriate manner despite our fear.

In the jungle the roar of a lion makes some animals freeze with fear and the lion eats them. It makes other animals run like hell and they get away. How we deal with our own fear is quite similar. We can freeze and not do anything or we can move in spite of our fear and become free to move forward toward our dreams.

Through repeated frustration and experiences we become angry instead of fearful. We physically lash out in pain and rage at what is hurting us. We gain the ability to defend ourselves and are no longer victims. The point is reached where we use our anger in creative ways to propel us forward in the fulfillment of our dreams.

This is the development of courage, determination and resolve. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let that stop me!,” is an example of using anger by turning it into resolve and determination.

The person that develops these traits has a magnetic charm and attraction that is emotionally powerful and overwhelming. He or she is a natural leader and takes control in emergency situations. This person overwhelms the opposition through sheer force of will and personality. Their aura radiates from them and dominates all others. When they walk into a room heads turn and notice.

It has been said there are three great stages in a woman’s life. These are the three faces of the goddess, maid, mother and Crone. For the male this evolutionary stage involves crossing the great abyss and the destruction of the false ego. For the female the great abyss is entering the Crone stage. Her childbearing years are done and she is known for her great wisdom.

In entering this stage she is finally able to develop a strong ego for herself and turn toward the achievement of her own needs and dreams. She has lived so long for other people that living for herself can be a strange and uncomfortable change. It is new and not comfortable at all.

She remembers being a maid and being a mother. Now she is once more developing a more global perspective. She understands completely what it is like to be a woman and is able to help those younger than her get through tough times. She has become Mother Nature.

She becomes a great spiritual sea that embraces all the tiny drops that are others. She is the empty space that supports the stars. She is an illusion, only real through the actions of others. She is illusion and all else is real. She supports the entire cosmos. She seeks harmony and stability. She is inseparable from life. Life is action, she is reaction. She is order, life is chaos, together they create all things.
