BP 75 - A Simple Ethos, Expressed Simply

A Simple Ethos, Expressed Simply...

 

Live quietly and at a Godlike Pace.

 

Pursue Intimate- and Divine-union with The Trinity, and Live in surrendered awe of Them.

 

Be and become (that is, incarnate) Loving-heartfulness, Loving-kindness, Exalted-joy, and Everlasting Gratefulness.

 

Forgive everyone—especially those who hate you—quickly and completely.

 

Listen intercessorily to everyone you encounter.

 

Approach everything with a “Beginner’s Mind;” and let every one, every thing, and every no-thing be Your Teacher.

 

Stand up for The Downcast; remember them in your prayers.

 

Be playfully present and presently playful in every aspect, arena, and relationship of Your Life and Personhood.

 

Be at Peace.

 

Work hard, and rest easy (and do so often).


Tell people what you really think and feel.

 

Eat really, really good and clean food; and drink a lot of mineral water.

 

In your work and relationships, under-promise, and over-deliver.

 

And…

 

Through emotional resilience, the quality of your bodily-postures and -movements, the look upon your face, and the precision of your vocal expressions, OWN every time, space, and place through which you live and move.

 

Above all else, seek The Trinity and Their Kingdom… Live in surrendered awe of Them.

 

Take really, really good care of your heart-mind (that is, The Eden of Your Soul)…

 

And…

 

In everything you do, focus on being and becoming A Person of Tearful Humility, Genuine Selflessness, Extraordinary Generosity, and World-class Creativity.

 

When you step into, work out, and then begin to walk in (that is, Live out) such Ways of Deep Life-quality, everything else will just seem to take care of itself.

BP71 - Aging

  What is human aging? The passing of time, during which a person gets chronologically older?   Sure.   But it’s much more than that. Personally, I don't care that much about my chronological age.  What matters to me are... 1/M y biological age. 2/My emotional age. 3/My cognitive age. And.. 4/My sagely age. In my life, I want to be biologically vibrant.  Emotionally, I want to be both young and old (that is, I want to be A Childlike Old Soul ).  Cognitively, I want to be vibrant, adaptable, malleable, and incredibly teachable.  In my sagely senses, I want, like in my emotional self, to be both young and old.   The factors that lead to the aging in the areas I care about most are many.  Here are the principal twelve factors I focus on daily.  I encourage you to focus on these things similarly... but in your own unique, awesome, and revellious way! Here you go... 1/Loss of fluids. 2/Loss of muscle mass. 3/Loss of bone mass. 4/Los...

BP 72 - Get Your Black Belt

  I tell folks all the time: "Get your black belt in 'something,' and then start exploring other arts." Every martial art (MA) has it's gaps. What are the gaps in yours? Once you get your black belt in one MA, you've graduated kindergarten. Now it's time to start exploring and filling the gaps. You do this, by enrolling in another kindergarten program... And then another... And then another... The cool thing is that you never really move beyond kindergarten. You just keep enrolling in one kindergarten program after another. A true master is really just someone who's repeated kindergarten more than anyone else. Here are the kindergarten programs I've gone through and am still enrolled in (some as an intentional repeat): In the below kindergarten programs... By "fluid (that is, within the arenas of 'fluid')," I mean that I've gotten my black belt (or what might be the equivalent of a black belt). Most of these disciplines...

BP 32 - Self-knowledge, a meditation

Image
It’s been said that the highest form of human knowledge is self-knowledge. I both agree with and disagree with this statement. My disagreement lies, mostly, with the stopping of the argument at the general (and exquisitely broad) category of “self-knowledge.” To begin, what is self-knowledge? Is it knowledge? Certainly. Knowledge about oneself? Most assuredly. But it’s more—MUCH MORE!!—than just knowledge about oneself. Self-knowledge is knowledge about oneself that’s truly “lived” and “experienced.” In a word, self-knowledge is “wisdom;” and it’s real (that is, based in reality) and not abstract [considered apart from concrete existence; not applied or practical; theoretical; difficult to understand; abstruse]. Wisdom is knowledge of oneself (and of why one exists [which is rooted in belief]) lived out congruently and concretely—and lived out well [this is also the definition of goodness]. You say you know how to make your bed. Well… that’s all fine and good. The question ...
