Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Knowledge and Self-Awareness

No one can give you this knowledge. All that anyone can do is to offer you keys that can open doors, but no one can open the doors for you... Thus, ultimately, door opening will always be your choice and your responsibility.

For example, because I started becoming aware of the action of my mind some 20 years ago and I know that having that awareness is what eventually brought me to a place of being happy and feeling good for 95% of my daily life; I love to pass on the knowledge that:

Awareness Is the Key to Understanding

And from that basic understanding, all of the other ideas and knowledge naturally finds its way to us. However, nothing can happen unless you make the first move by having the desire and the willingness to begin by actually doing the mental work of paying attention to your thoughts.

Not tomorrow or next week or some nebulous future time, but right now. If you put it off and never begin, then really, reading about these ideas and subjects becomes nothing more than a form of entertainment, an escape or a fantasy of your mind.

I have no intention of convincing anyone of anything, as I’ve seen through the futility of that! You’ll know by how you feel about what’s being said if it contains value for you or not, and whether it seems rational, reasonable and right to you.

And once you begin doing the mental work, you’ll no longer demand proof from external sources because you’ll find all the proof you need, both within your own being and in your external manifestations.

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Thought and Beliefs

Becoming aware of the action of your mind naturally leads you to an understanding of thought, thinking and beliefs. Not another’s ideas, observations and conclusions, but your own. The Belief section goes into more detail.

Then you may begin to understand what it means to be truly rational, reasonable and logical and you’ll discover the nature of the personality construct of the physical mind and the importance of the present moment of now. The Self Shortcuts section goes into more detail.

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Science and Belief

Although you may not realize it, science is a belief too. Both scientists and spiritual teachers believe what they believe. Neither science nor spiritual teachers can prove anything as an absolute; that’s where belief comes in.

For instance, scientifically, we believe the Earth to be some 4.5 billion years old. However, no one out there can confirm or rebuke this claim as an absolute, so it’s a scientific belief; nothing more and nothing less.

And although scientists demand scientific proof to confirm the existence of god or aware consciousness, god or aware consciousness demands nothing of anyone; it just IS and it knows it exists.

I love the fact that science has enabled us to live longer lives as a species and has brought many wonderful innovations and technological improvements into our lives. However, science is not the be all and end all to understanding our reality; it’s only one path to gaining understanding.

Even though some scientists, who understand that our reality is a sea of probabilities and possibilities, which only come into focus when a conscious observer is present; they still seem perplexed when faced with the ideas of duality and paradox.

If scientists could bring themselves to detach their rational mind and suspend their judgment. And then inquire with an open mind into the insights of Buddha not Buddhism, maybe they’d see that everything is illusion and thus, by definition, that includes scientific inquiry.

All reality is created from consciousness and is consciousness, there’s no real separation. And once you see this, the idea of duality dissolves and you realize that meeting with paradox in every direction is normal. The About Me and Reality sections go into more detail.

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Remembering Truth

So if you’re ready to allow yourself to remember these truths, then little by little and month by month I’ll share this remembered knowledge and truth with you. I’ll pass on practical tips, hints, inspiration, shortcuts, insights and reminders to anyone who wants to know; to anyone
who's asking.

When you think about it and ask yourself, the one truth that's undeniable and indisputable, and which doesn't require any form of belief is the fact that:

I Exist Now

Most other things are open to individual interpretation and hence belief; belief in the form of individual opinions, assertions and delusions.

And from there, from that place of knowing, belief or insanity, we attempt communication with others, who have their own form of opinions, assertions and gods; be they of a spiritual or materialistic nature. And right there is where all of the confusion, ugliness and mess begin.

When I say remembering, I’m referring
to remembering the truth and regaining
the knowledge of who we really are.

Deep down each of us already knows this truth, and one of the purposes of this inspired self help website is to help you to re-discover or remember this knowledge for yourself. The Life section explores who we really are.

Once everyone who wants to becomes aware of the existence and action of the personality construct of their physical mind, as discussed throughout this website, they’ll be happier, healthier and wealthier. And perhaps more importantly they’ll exist in a state of well-being that feels wonderful all of the time

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Eternal Consciousness

What helped me to have a clearer idea of who we really are was inquiring deeply into the true nature of life, including this time-space reality in which our consciousness is presently focused.

Following my own inquiries, it now makes sense to me I believe that consciousness is fundamental to all life, it is life. Consciousness is eternal and everything That Is springs forth from consciousness, including all possible realities and our body, mind and spirit.

Now, let’s consider eternity. Eternity means forever, always or throughout time. However, what you may not have considered is that by its very nature, the true definition of eternity means without beginning and without end. And that’s one way to understand why:

Time is Always Relative

And if you say: no it’s not, while at the same time you consider that we exist now somewhere along the scale of eternity, which never had a beginning nor will it ever have and ending; then where did time that’s absolute or non-relative start?

So time is always relative to a starting point that we define as a beginning. We invent calendars and clocks to record the passage of time from the starting point, which is a collective arbitrary decision, and there can be no space without this arbitrary time that we invented.

Think about it. It takes time to travel the distance or space between A to B, but without time that space doesn’t exist, cannot exist. Thus space and time are inseparable like two sides of the same coin; they’re a single unit of measurement.

So time and, by definition, space, are always relative and are both concepts that are created and used by our collective consciousness to navigate this 4 dimensional time-space reality called life on Earth.

Once we grasp this truth, we begin to remember and understand that the only real time is now and the only real place is here. The Spiritual and Reality sections go into more detail on these subjects.

'Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.'
Socrates - 469 BC - 399 BC

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Who We Really Are

With the understanding that the only real time is now and that we exist now, again, by definition; we’ve always existed as consciousness right here and right now and we always will. Thus, one way of seeing who we really are is as:

Eternal Beings Existing Here and Now Forever

And simultaneously we’re physical beings animated by consciousness, us, for the purpose of experiencing the game of life on Earth. The apparent duality and separation is an illusion created by time. In truth all of life springs forth from the one consciousness and thus, there’s no real paradox or contradiction.

Realizing that whatever we do we do it now, tells us that our only point of power is always in the present moment of now. That’s why it’s better in every way not to live our life by the clock, because that kind of time is an artificial construct devoid of any real power.

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Deliberate Reality Creation

By focusing our thoughts on the types of experiences, the kinds of people and the things we want to have in our game of life on Earth; we’re paying attention to and saying YES to those things, we’re asking for them to come into our experience.

There are no exceptions to this Universal law. And an easy way to remember it is simply by saying:

When You Ask It Is Always Given

Because we create our own reality as we move through life, by our paying attention to, appreciating and loving those things; the Universe has no choice other than to yield those things to us by reflecting the essence of them back to us through the Universal mirror of our life.

However, due to our ignorance and negative thinking, when we make a Universal request we usually say to ourselves something like: Yes, I want that, but I can’t really afford it; thus we contradict and counteract our own intention of receiving whatever it is we want.

For clarity, by saying: I want it, but I don’t have enough money to buy it or I like him, but he’s too good for me or I want more money, but I don’t really deserve more or I’d like to have it, but someone else will lose out etcetera; the BUT serves to negate whatever request we make.

You’re the boss. If you say, YES I can have it, followed by a negative BUT you’re saying, NO, I can’t have it. Because you’ve focused on your belief that you can’t have it, so you’ve countered your own intention.

The bottom line is you can have anything you want as long as you believe you can and you don’t negate your own intention. Ideally, when you think pure positive thoughts towards whatever it is you want, ultimately, it must be yours, so it will be

'Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.'

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Knowing Yourself

We can perceive our being as consisting of multiple parts. There’s our spirit or soul which is our true self. There’s our physical body with the center of feeling and emotions called our heart, and our physical brain. Then there’s our physical mind and our higher mind or higher self.

Once the personality construct of the physical mind has been understood, the next step is:

Remembering our Higher Self

Surrendering to and working harmoniously together with one’s higher self is the epitome of self help or helping self. Balancing our physical and higher minds and being aware of the emotions of our heart is all that’s necessary for a joyful life experience.

Nothing ever happens until there is movement of our thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality. Through the contrast of our experience our physical mind automatically desires positive change, so new desires are constantly being born.

This wanting is received by our higher self through the channel of imagination. Then our higher self goes forth and instantly, vibrationally, creates our desired future and then calls our being towards our already existing future reality.

Our higher self continuously sends inspirational messages to our physical mind, using the channel of imagination, directing it to do what’s necessary in physicality in order to real ize what’s wanted. Ideally, the inspiration is received by our brain and our heart keeps us on track through feeling.

The mechanics of the feedback loop of the higher self.

The self help image above represents my idea of how new desire is automatically created by contrast and sent to our higher self using the channel of imagination. It also indicates how we can stay in balance and harmony, by acknowledging and acting upon the inspiration, intuition and feelings being looped back to our physical mind from our higher self.

The now wave of positive and negative energy.

The self help image above represents how if we remain in balance and harmony, we always get everything we desire. I’ve noticed that the things I want always seem to come to me in waves. Remember that vibrational attraction is activated by both positive and negative emotion.

The now wave contains both positive and negative energy, so by staying positive as you travel along it you’ll receive all good things and minimize receiving any negative things. Remember that these images are tools used to represent abstract concepts; don’t get hooked on them.

When we vibrate in the vicinity of
our higher self we always feel good
and all things wanted are near and
then manifestation is imminent

Our physical mind cannot see into the future, that’s the job of our higher self. Our physical mind’s job is to perceive the Now moment and to simply say Yes to what’s wanted and to do what feels good in every moment. However, through self-imposed forgetfulness, we’ve forgotten about some of the elements of our being.

And so through endless action we burden our physical mind with the job of creating our future, a job it’s not designed to do. And thus we create worry and stress which taxes our mind and our body and is a major cause of illness and dis-ease.

In many ways this inspired self help shortcuts website is about remembering who we really are and reminding us to release all resistance to the things that we say we desire and just to allow them to naturally flow to us.

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Reality Creation using Imagination

Once we see the truth that imagination creates realty, as I believe John Lennon did; we understand where he was coming from with his music, as in this classic song Imagine:

Watch this video and listen to the words as if
for the first time. Pay attention to the lyrics and you’ll
understand what John was saying in this song.

This self help website was conceived through imagination and
the information contained within it is of an inspired nature.

In truth, the realities of war and peace both exist simultaneously and we get to choose whichever reality we want to experience through our mental action and our imagination

'The event you imagine must not be forced but allowed to happen!'
Neville Goddard – 1905 – 1972

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Loving Your Life

Always follow your feelings on any subject. Doing what feels best to you IS always the best thing for you to do. Following your feelings means doing the thing that excites you the most in every moment; it is also bliss, ecstasy and love.

Following the feelings which feel best to you in every moment is using your emotions to guide you. When you’re doing something you love, in that moment, there’s no resistance to the things you say you want, and therefore, you’re allowing those things to come to you in the fastest time.

Your emotions are always there, but may be covered up by continuous repetitive thinking that leaves no space in your awareness for feelings to take center stage in your life. Hence, meditation in any form can be used to quiet one’s mind or slow down one’s internal dialogue. The Spiritual section goes into more detail.

In the West we strongly believe in the supremacy of reason and logic, but really, as certain individuals and cultures on Earth know, our heart is our primary tool for navigating this reality, rationality is secondary.

With this in mind, the most important self help shortcut that I want to share with you is to always do your best to:

Be Happy Now and Feel Good Always
then all good things will come your way!

Once we achieve this state of being, our life truly unfolds as we want it to because abundance, well-being and spiritual understanding are natural for us. And when we're truly happy there's no resistance to allowing the natural order of things, people and wanted experiences flowing to us.

When you’re in that happy state of well-being, you’re not focused on the things that could go wrong or spending your time in worry or doubt, and thus you’re allowing all of your desires to come to fruition at the perfect time and in the timing that’s right for you

'Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.'
Albert Schweitzer - 1875 - 1965

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Fear and Ending

The personality construct of our physical mind or ego-self, consists of memories from our past experiences and because it cannot see into the future, it fears the ending of itself at the time of the physical death of
our body.

However, once our ego-self realizes that change is the only constant in the Universe, it understands that it can never be as it was before nor can it remain as it is now. Thus our ego-self realizes that like everything else, it must and so will always be changing.

Our ego-self also understands through its own past and present experiences, that the sense of self and who we really are forever remains. Thus, fear of death or any kind of ending is no longer a part of our experience because we've realized that there isn't any of that.

In other words you will never lose your personality, it’s a part of who you are; however, your personality is forever changing. When you really think about it, it’s obvious, because we’re all ephemeral or transitory beings and change is the nature of life and of living.

Ideally with this newly remembered self help understanding, we choose to only take the good-feeling memories with us and to release all of our negative and resistant thoughts as we move through life and perceive each now moment; then our life becomes one of eternal joy

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Dream Big and Be Childlike

I love exploring the nature of life and reality. It’s one of the things I do that’s exciting and fun for me. I also play games, go to the beach often, party, celebrate and have fun with my friends; I love it

Why not do the things that excite you the
most while having as much fun as you can
along the way; what’s stopping you?

By believing that you need to grow up and stop having fun, you’re doing yourself a major disservice and limiting your potential for growth, ecstasy and love. So why not be childlike and have fun in your adventure and game of remembering and exploring; while being happy and feeling good in
the process?

Why do you believe that life should be anything other than fun anyway?

Forget about mediocrity and move beyond past memories which don’t serve you and only do the things that are worthy of your time and participation. Use these inspired self help shortcuts, and then dream big and imagine whatever future you desire; because life may just be a dream after all...

So why not start living the life of your dreams today?

'Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.'
Bill Hicks – 1961 - 1994

Inspired Self Help Shortcuts – Being the Change

Whatever your current life story is you and you alone have the power within you to make the desired change. Ultimately your current life story, whether you perceive it as good or bad, began within you and you are the only one who can change it!

You could spend years doing what you're currently doing or studying endless self help material to make changes in your life; without seeing much or any actual change. Remembering who and what you are and what life really is, is the catalyst that will move you to lasting positive change!

As the broken light bulb said to the psychiatrist, you can analyze ME indefinitely or you can simply decide to change ME right Now.

Are you ready and willing to change? If so, you'll find these inspired self help shortcuts invaluable. Enjoy
