An Inner Outer Exercise of Oneness
Close your eyes for a minute, then open your eyes. You should have contemplated this practical truth from just opening and closing your eyes. You can no longer focus outward and you get a feel for existence beyond the senses. Close your eyes for a minute, contemplate what you just read, and then open your eyes again to continue reading. Do this after every sentence for the rest of this exercise. You are left with the reality...the seen is small compared to the unseen. You are forced to become centered inward and travel inside. Observe your thoughts, feelings, fears, and questions. Who is observing, and who is having the thoughts and questions? We create a personality...a persona...a mask from the outward journey. Take the mask off and stay the observer. You already know. The outward journey forces you to "add" or accumulate for success. The inward journey is the inverse because you let go as you dissolve into the center again as the one...in oneness. There is no inner or outer in reality. These polarities appear as real in this world of persons, places, and things. One travels inward because they must untangle and unwind all the knots in their life from traveling outward, remove all the barriers and blockages they have unknowingly put between the self and oneness. Once the union is re-aligned and the flow is restored, the one becomes All by dissolving into oneness again. Everything you can think of leads you to happiness, and every discipline prepares you for the state of happiness...which is but an expression of love. When you close your eyes there is the union, and when you open your eyes there is the separation again. Bring the union of the darkness and the unseen into the light and the seen world. Unify the whole you and end the battle between within and without. This is but a glimpse of the real work that has to be done, the real mysteries unraveled right before you...so you can experience for yourself. Open your eyes and stay the observer in this world of persons, places, and things. Bring the happiness and messages that vibrate with the reality when you close your eyes...from that world.

Are Relationships Predictable?
Some believe money is the issue in relationships, but millionaire's break-up and divorce too so that can't be it. All you have to do is look into the entertainment or sports industry to verify that.
Some think they need someone that matches up well with them (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually). On the contrary, people whose astrology or numerology charts that show they are compatible still break-up. People who have the same faith or spirituality still break-up. People who are of the same class or gender still break-up.
Some say they need a person to be a friend as well as a companion/mate. Many friends who take that next step together still break-up too.
So what is the real reason or issue that can be corrected??? Hint...all the examples above cause you to give away your power to circumstances/events/people outside of yourself. YOU have the power to start or maintain any situation no matter how favorable, unfavorable, or predetermined it seems.
This is why sometimes one may see a couple who seem to be not compatible at all. One may be tall, and the other short. One may be outgoing, while the other is shy. This goes to show they have tapped into the REAL secret of relating-ships...contrary to public opinion.
People can talk about the possibilities, but they cannot plan and predict your actual CHOICE. That is the gray area. Always remember that. Your decision or choice gives you the ability to "flip the script" and the power to do the unexpected to make what you want to happen.
Although things may line up the way it is supposed to happen, it CANNOT foretell the ACTUAL decision or action taken at the appointed moment. The POWER is within...which is connected to the seen and unseen...know thyself!

Unlimited Assets
The real asset is not your cash, gold, or properties. Your real asset is your mind which appreciates into usable thoughts. Unlimited return.

Compatibility Part 2
It is very difficult to solve a situation between one person to another when you’re dealing with one person to a group of others.
For each person has their own motive for trying to solve the situation or to not solve the situation.
So you can never solve a personal relationship when one person is confronted with a group, and the reason being when one person is confronted with a group of people it’s not like when one mind is confronted with one mind and therefore they can come to a clear distinctive definition of their words.
When a group of people are confronting one man we have mass confusion for each person that comes to this meeting to solve the problem comes with their own motives and their own reasons and whether or not they personally want to or don’t want to solve the problem.
So it is important that when you imagine a person in your mind’s eye that you imagine just one person in your mind’s eye.
So I repeat, imagine the other person in your mind’s eye and begin to talk to them.
How are you assuming their response?
Are either of you hurt, angry, defensive, fearful?
Is there some way you can speak to them so that they will respond in a more positive way, or so that you can face them more compassionately?
Do either of you have an unrealistic expectation of the other?
What would your life be without them?
How would their life be different without you?
In what way and ways are your lives connected?
What is the context of your relationship?
Is there a particular issue that causes tension between you?
Can you visualize a solution that will ease the tension?
Are you willing to negotiate a resolution?
Explore the relationship in your mind’s eye from as many different perspectives as possible.
Be aware that your relationship grows and changes as you do.
The more objective you become, the more you free yourself from fears, the more insightful and creative your thoughts will become.
Gradually you will be able to relate fear with feelings of self-love, worth, and compassion.

Compatibility Part 1
-Excerpt from Compatibility Code of Harmony for Love and Unity
First, we must do what we can to help resolve the situation.
Second, it is important to access the relationship on the basis of need and expectation.
We all have certain needs which are met within harmonious relationships such as the need for companionship, for love given to receive, given and received, for compassion, for recognition, and acceptance.
We must come to the reality that most of the time inharmonious relationships between two people are coming from either both or one.
Neither can come to a sensible acceptance that it could be themselves.
There with, they cast the stone.
We all know that when we live and work in harmony with others, we release creative energies to achieve great goals than we are capable to do on our own.
Relationships are jeopardized when we translate needs into unrealistic expectations, and in most cases to our own benefit.
Meaning, we tend to look into the eyes of others but to see from our own hearts.
As adults, the two most common distortions are the result of expecting to be taken care of and/or expecting one other person to be everything to you according to your wishes, according to your likes, dislikes, and your expectations.
However, mutual trust and respect and acceptance are the best nurtures when we are willing to risk vulnerability.
Most people engage in relationships where they expect the party to be the source of all the intellectual and emotional feeds.
They tend to rest in another person’s responsibilities, and therefore blaming the next person when they can’t come to mutual agreements on things that are based on their own inner thoughts.
They count 1,2,3,4, and 5, and expect the person to pick up 6, 7, 8, and 9 without having any root understanding or emotional meaning to what they’re trying to say.
Most people when they approach you they begin a conversation abruptly, and they assume that you started out in their head with them.
They start such conversations as, “remember when we did such and such?” or “if you had so and so?” or “did you see so and so?” or “didn’t you see it the way I see it?”
And no two people will ever see anything the exact same way because everybody that exists is a personal individual and an incident that will never ever happen again in life, nor has it ever happened before.
Often what happens is we shut out all possibilities for true loving relationships because we allow fear to dominate our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Mutual Love
Finally, it is important to face your own loneliness.
Only when we are willing to be alone, to commit ourselves to a relationship with the master within do we discover the captivity of our love with a whole heart.
Our sense of belonging to something larger than ourselves brings true emotional stability.
Until we bring our own relationships into context of our highest ideals and dedicate our lives to the service of those ideals, we will not be effective in creating loving, harmonious relationships with others.
Peace begins within each one of us and extends beyond us to an ever expanding network of connections dependent only on the strength of our commitment to spiritual realities.
Ask our self if we confront one another as spirits, or do we confront one another as bodies?
If we confront one another as physical beings, then we have so many gratifications and things we need to keep the physical body supplied that we demand more of a person than is expected.
For physical things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. However, spiritual things can submerge, blend, or mix.
Now when two people come together to solve a problem, the first thing that they must confront themselves with is themselves and come to the reality that 90% of the problem is themselves and what they expect of the other person and not so much of what the other person should expect of them.
Most arguments stem from somebody feeling they were righter than somebody else.
And if the second person immediately agrees that they are wrong, then there is no place for an argument.
Arguments are born on confusion, and confusion is a collaboration of many thoughts and ideas or situations and purposes
Once you establish a mutual understanding, our purposes, our ideas, and our thoughts will automatically mesh.
This is called mutual love.
If mutual love is to be found in any individual or group of people, they must approach it individually and look from the inside outward and not from the outside inward.
You’re not supposed to dress people in your clothes and expect them to fit.
You have to let people come to you dressed the way they’re dressed so their clothes fit and therewith they’ll put forth their best effort.
Every journey is began with one foot step.
If we are to establish a relationship which is harmonious and be compatible to one another, we must start step by step, not leaps and bounds, and not runs.
So let’s gradually learn to understand each other, or to re-understand each other and to reconnect the joints that have been broken out of both or all of our ignorance’s.
We must learn to live and get along with one another.
This is called compatibility.

You can have a religious mind and not prescribe to religion
The root meaning of the word "religion" is debatable at best. One of the accepted origins or etymology of the word is Religare which means "fasten; to bind fast" expresses something fixed or the earth principle. It leads to the word "rely" (which has its origin in Religare) because a person depends on it. It is a form of union, and there are different ways to see that union. On a broader level, there can be a union in the sense where one is accepting of other than one's own beliefs. Oppositely, there can be a union in which one is united to a fixed position. As you see, there are degrees of union just like there are degrees of temperature with water. One can be united to one way, and one can allow unity among all ways as one.
When one accepts a religion, they fasten or bind fast to that religion, rely upon it, and exclude the need for other religions or beliefs. It is not good or bad. It just expresses a choice that one has the right to accept without being ridiculed. When one ties to religion, they tie to everything that comes with it. The place of gathering is needed, rituals, prayers, conduct, rules, etc. Many people have a religious mind and do not know it. I have taken time to express the origins of the word in order to lead to this point. To have a religious mind also means to tie or bind to a way of thinking, and not allow another way of perception (looking at it). This means one does not have to prescribe to a religion to have a religious mind.
It is highly likely you have a religious mind if you are overly defensive, hard to communicate with, argumentative, inflexible, view others ways or beliefs as wrong, and have to be right. So if you have one or more of the traits, then don't be surprised if someone refers to you as being "religious" or says, "that's religion." Religion is not a bad word, but it can be used as a compliment or the opposite of that. Everyone has his or her definition and use of the same word, and that is why it is best sometimes to go back to the origin of the word. When someone uses it in that way, it is not a term of endearment. Actually, it is a form of humor, sidebar joke, and comedy for some.
Oneness is the ability to be the best you can be and unify with accepting others to be the best they can be. Oneness is accepting others may not agree with you or your thoughts, and it doesn't make it wrong. Oneness is unity in accepting those who consider themselves religious because it is their choice. Some may be on similar vibrations, while others may be on different vibrations. It is good to respect all vibrations as one, just as nature utilizes and balances all things. If you have a closed mind, then you in principle have a religious mind without even stepping foot in a church, synagogue, or masjid. It also shows that as much as one tries not to identify with one thing, the similarities in principle and effect show more similarities than differences. Not having a religious mind means you can allow others views, communicate without judgment, and accept another person’s path. One is open to agree or disagree with this blog post, because it is still oneness. Peace

Long Lost Friends
Thoughts are fruits of the mind which draw things to you, or push them away. Strengthen the bridge within, and remove the roadblocks of this simple fact concerning energy. Activate your inner cellular phone, and travel those roads designed to connect the unseen with the seen. Recover from your mental handicap, and release the need to depend on physically sending and receiving everything around you. Unify the mental and the physical as if they are long lost friends. Long lost friends have a lot of catching up to do, and the same is with the inner you. Now that you are aware, deliberately use your mind to unlock the thoughts, draw what you want in your life, and live in fulfillment!
