I had a student ask me once, "What is it called when you meditate on an idea, such as 'happiness and productivity' and then later you look back and realize that you have actually been 'happier and more productive' all week? But, when you don't do that (meditate on a positive idea), you just kind of 'get what you get'?" This is the perfect question from someone who was actively discovering how to use the mind in order to create and 'enjoy' a much greater momentum in 'life'! And I know first hand that this works wonders - I use it every day (and I have studied it). Just the same they could have asked, "What is it called when you climb into your car and have a clear decision to 'go somewhere' and 'do something' worthwhile, then several hours later you return with a realization that you have just added yet another truly great-and-worthwhile adventure to your life? But, when you just climb into your car with no real intention and start driving, you just kind of 'go where you go' (and just kind of get what you get)?" With this story in mind, about using 'self-hypnosis', 'the power of intention', the power of prayer, and/or whatever we want to call it, let this be a greater-&-greater, more-&-more beautiful, and more-&-more fulfilling life for all! ---

In life, it is ‘bright, sunny and happy’ on the other side of that ‘towering human wall’ that is: the desire to be attractive, the desire to be popular, the desire to find love, the desire to have sex, the desire to be admired, the desire to satisfy cravings-&-addictions, the desire to be accepted, the desire to be seen-&-heard as important, etc, etc. Clearly, on the other side of this wall, true happiness awaits all who ask aloud with a truly honest desire to really know, “What is on the other side of this ‘name obstacle here’?” Let us ask this question, wherever and whenever needed, with a truly honest desire to really know and really experience the answer, and then we really will (know-&-experience the answer just as soon as now, very soon, or just very soon thereafter)! ---

With greater-and-greater ease now, let us enjoy ‘accomplishing and experiencing’ (more-and-more) the kinds of ‘greater-&-greater than just human fulfillment’, the kinds of ‘greater-&-greater than just human achievement’, the kinds of ‘greater-&-greater than just human success’, and the kinds of ‘greater-&-greater than just human happiness’ that really are going to bring us deeper-&-deeper now into infinitely greater-&-greater realms where we enjoy ‘great mastery of freedom’ and where we experience ‘great freedom’ to enjoy mastering mastery of mastery itself! ---

As we remember the past in powerful and positive light, dreams of greater-and-greater futures now appear, even more-and-more, exciting and bright! ---

To Be 'Relaxed' Is To Be Ready To Be 'Ready' Is To Be Clear Minded To Be 'Clear Minded' Is To Have Focus And Clarity To Have 'Focus And Clarity' Is To Seek And Know Truth To Seek, Know And Act Upon 'Truth' Is To Have Freedom To Have 'Freedom' Is To Be Relaxed And To Be 'Relaxed' Is To Be Ready...

Let us 'master freedom' while using our freedom to 'master mastery' of mastery itself. Let us wake up, right now, to discover even more thoroughly our greater-and-greater opportunity to 'really live' and to therefore 'really grow-for and achieve' that which is 'experienced even now' as infinitely greater-and-greater than mere humanness on earth! And, let this powerful intention generate the kind of greater-and-greater adventure in life that 'lifts and propels us all' to 'enjoy experiencing' and simply 'enjoy becoming' 'one with this true greatness' each and every day! :)

In the total of life's greater-and-greater 'past present and future', let us 'add up all of the pluses', 'subtract all of the minuses' and actively grow this 'more-and-more enjoyable' number into 'infinitely greater-and-greater realms' to then experience-and-enjoy 'the mastery of freedom' and to then experience-and-enjoy 'the freedom to master mastery of mastery itself'. Let us do this now and in the most 'beautiful and positive' earthly languages so that we can then begin to experience 'at least a life-changing glimpse' of what really is going to be 'much-greater-than' and really is going to be 'beautifully-well-beyond' mere humanness. Let us begin now to graduate forward with this kind of forward momentum using this kind of 'greater-and-greater than earthly' way to do so brilliantly-and-adventurously now that we know for certain we really can: ..."'add up all of the pluses', 'subtract all of the minuses' and actively grow this 'more-and-more enjoyable' number into 'infinitely greater-and-greater realms' to then experience-and-enjoy 'the true mastery of freedom' and to then experience-and-enjoy 'the true freedom to master mastery of mastery itself'." :)

Let us 'choose wisely' to 'delete at least one' unnecessary-human-concern 'at a time' on our way to now-and-instead becoming much more relaxed, becoming much more playful, becoming much more enjoying and therefore becoming much simpler, becoming much happier, becoming much healthier, becoming much more natural, becoming much more loving of life, and certainly becoming much more beautiful than ever before, starting right now in this very, greater-and-greater, moment! :)

Those who do not yet feel as though they deserve to 'be happy' :) come in two varieties: 1) People who feel that nobody should 'be happy and healthy' :) And 2) People who feel that only they should not 'be happy and healthy'. :) Since people who are 'truly happy and healthy' :) tend to be much more productive, constructive, loving, safe, and enjoyable to be around, etc, it could be argued that 'being truly happy and healthy' :) is our personal responsibility to 'ourselves' and to 'others' around us as well. I am inclined to suggest, that for most people (but unfortunately not for all), being 'truly happy and healthy' :) is a natural state that is experienced when we are 'working well' to 'keep things simple' and 'keep things in harmony'. In this way, it can be seen that humans must 'do a certain amount of work' in order to 'satisfy the basics of life', in order to 'keep things simple' and in order 'keep things in harmony' enough to then experience a natural state of 'happiness and health'. :) The word 'deserve' seems to imply that we should be happy 'without' having to work as described above. Any approach to 'happiness and health' :) that does not also include a certain amount of 'happy and healthy work' :) is likely to be problematic. With that said, I believe that 'working to be happy' :) 'really can be' and 'really should be' an enjoyable process (when done right). Therefore, by extension, I believe that more-and-more people can learn to enjoy working be 'truly happy and healthy' :) in life. Then, after a person really is working successfully to 'satisfy the basics of life', 'keep things simple' and 'keep things in harmony', they are going to be faced with two simple choices: 1) Maintain and enjoy their own 'happiness and health' :) in creative ways that also 'avoid preventing others' from doing the same And/Or 2) Extend their 'knowledge and skills' in ways that 'help-and-support' others who are working to 'satisfy the basics of life', 'keep things simple' and 'keep things in harmony' on their way to unlocking their own natural state of 'happiness and health'. :) Truly 'happy and healthy' people make this a greater-and-greater world for us all to enjoy. This is one great reason to actively wish 'true greatness' upon the earth, universe, all of nature, and well-beyond! Let us enjoy now and forever this 'greater-and-greater mission in life' and well-beyond! :)

What if it were true that at the 'end of our lives' we get to attend a 'great big cast party' where we meet-and-greet with all of the unique characters from our lives, both good and bad, and discover that in actuality 'we are all friends' and that 'we are all just actors and actresses' playing ''characters and roles in a 'great big production called life'! I like this idea, because I have a lot of appreciation for many of the characters in my life, both past and present, but often I find that I am not positioned well to express-and-celebrate with them. Some are no longer with us, and many are no longer in an available mindset to appreciate-and-celebrate such things in life. Often times, while actively appreciating a person or persons, I will think to myself, "I hope to see them at the cast party - then we can reflect back upon this great moment and celebrate together!" If nothing else, my notion of this 'end of life cast party' provides a truly enjoyable frame-work for remembering to reflect-upon, appreciate and celebrate the many characters we are experiencing-and-enjoying each day! :)

This is kind of a tough read, but after you are done, you are then going to be primed-and-ready to enjoy thoroughly a deeply relaxing session! Whether we like it or not, our ability to 'relax deeply-and-completely' is equal-to and contingent-upon our ability to also 'forgive deeply-and-completely' - one must accompany the other. However, if we are not yet ready to 'forgive deeply-and-completely' in order to also 'relax deeply-and-completely', which is often the case, then perhaps we can get started now by allowing ourselves to enjoy at first 'just a little bit of relaxation' which only requires just a 'small and barely noticeable' amount of forgiveness to accompany it. Now, as it turns out, complete 'mental, physical and emotional relaxation' is experienced the moment we 'intend fully-and-completely' to let go of all human concerns. Naturally, after we 'do let go' of all human concerns and 'do have a chance to enjoy this feeling' deeply-and-thoroughly enough, we can then decide (if we choose) to pick up and hold just as many human concerns as we would like. Once we realize that we can 'pick up and hold our human concerns' once again just after 'letting go deeply-and-completely', so long as we choose to do so, we also learn that there is no real risk in 'letting go deeply-and-completely' enough to give complete 'mental, physical and emotional relaxation' a good and healthy try. And this means that we really can decide now to 'relax deeply-and-completely' and decide now to 'forgive deeply-and-completely' long enough to then really enjoy the kind of complete 'mental, physical and emotional relaxation' that feels just like we have finally taken time to hit that reset button! Once we do 'hit that reset button' and are 'then feeling free from all human concern', we can take pride in being wise enough to 'pick up again' only what is needed from moment-to-moment. In this way, we can all enjoy the truly relaxing pleasure that comes right along with having a mind-and-body that is now 'naturally at ease' anytime we choose to 'let go and enjoy life' more-and-more each day! :)

Let us 'actively use our skills', 'actively use our intelligence' and 'actively use our growing sense of wisdom' to 'earn a greater and more fulfilling place in life' among family, friends, community, and well-beyond. And, let this 'beautiful-and-fulfilling intention' become a greater-and-greater part of our daily mission, starting now so long as we really do plan to enjoy doing so! :)

Let us become much 'more interested in solutions' and 'less interested in problems', in ways that now allow us to 'experience all of the joy' that comes right along with 'now having solutions' instead of problems! :) ​

Since life on earth appears to be a 'limited time offer', let us decide now to 'wake up more-and-more each day' and 'really live' beautifully, actively and fully so that when we do finally die, people actually do notice the difference! :) ​

Speaking symbolically, if your dream is to "have your own forest someday", are you in fact willing to get started and 'plant the first one-thousand trees' in order to do 'even-more-than' have 'all the joy' that comes right along with truly working to earn, achieve and exceed the greatest goals you have in mind? ​ Or, instead, are you not yet ready to 'invest wisely in yourself' and 'invest wisely in the process' that you are 'going to take' in order to enjoy earning, achieving and exceeding your greatest goals in life? Let us be 'guided, inspired and motivated' now to 'reach, achieve and exceed' our greatest goals in life! :)

Since there is 'no real effort' where instead 'there is enjoyment', let us take creative aim then to 'make everything enjoyable in life', even those things that few, except for masters, are 'willing and therefore able' to make enjoyable! ​ And further, let this become our own personal-and-beautiful 'art of appreciation and enjoyment', starting now when such things as 'appreciation and enjoyment' really do count the most! :)

Do you actively allow the 'quality of your life' to be 'created and generated' by the 'positive narrative' you now have power to 'create and maintain', in life, and enjoy all of the greater-and-greater benefits that come right along with doing so actively moment-after-moment? ​ Or, instead, have you not yet become determined to create and maintain your positive narrative in ways that now allow you to use this effective power to in order to 'generate quality', 'generate happiness' and 'generate your greatest successes life'? :) Now, is a great time for us to put our positive-and-creative imaginations to work! :)

Do you take quality time to 'have fun' exercising outdoors and 'have fun' playing outdoors in ways that give you natural power to hit that mental-physical-and-emotional "reset button" like perhaps no other activity can? ​ Or, instead, are you not yet determined to use of one of nature's most powerful and effective tools in order to generate and enjoy your 'greatest health' and 'greatest happiness'? Now is great time to be certain that we are using this 'simple, natural and powerful' tool to 'be even happier' and 'be even healthier' in this 'great opportunity' that we call life! :)

Are you determined to 'create and share' all of the 'beauty' that you can... 'Create and share' all of the 'love' that you can... 'Create and share' all of the 'appreciation' that you can... And 'create and share' all of the 'greatness' that you can, and do this right now while you are 'still this healthy' and while it’s still 'not too late' for you to do so? ​ Or, instead, are you not yet determined to become your master-level self and to share your, growing to the master-level, ''beauty, love, appreciation and greatness with everything and everyone around you? Now is a great time for us to wake up in this way and really go-and-grow for full potential! :)

When we take a moment, just before eating, to imagine what positive things we 'plan to do with the energy' that eating-and-digesting are going to provide, we can then allow the power of our unconscious minds to help inspire 'proper-and-fitting choices' in terms of 'which foods to eat' and in terms of 'how much of each food to eat'. This is a simple-and-powerful way to be absolutely certain that our food choices really are going to be fit according to our greater-and-greater narrative! Now is a great time to start eating according to our greater-and-greater plans to create-and-use our energy wisely! :)
