Be-ing REAL
Once upon a time I faked my way through life. I was very successful by pretending to be something I was not. Pretending was very stressful and robbed me of my peace of mind and dignity. I no longer pretend about anything. On this blog, I am as real as real can get. - Jonathan

America Demonizes the Bad Guys
America demonizes the bad guys, never thinking that the bad guys think they are the good guys and we are the bad ones?
Do we take any responsibility for people like Bin Laden coming to believe we are his enemy? Are we too arrogant a nation to see the part we play in making other people see us as their enemy?
Are we that much better than people who believe and think differently than we do?
As the most progressive nation in the world can't we find ways to harmonize the differences between cultures different than our own rather than using our force and might to destroy those differences?
World peace begins with you and me...
Join the PEACE ALLIANCE Work together with other Americans to make the Dept of Peace a political reality in our United State Government.

Feeling the NOW, right now...
You can't see, taste or touch the NOW but you can feel it. In fact, you are feeling (experiencing) the NOW, right now.... and now... and now, all the time.
The NOW feels delicious, sumptuous, tasty, flavorful. The NOW feels refreshing and peaceful. The NOW is totally satisfying, now...
When you feel the NOW, that is when you feel as healthy and as happy as you can be. The NOW is judgment free. There are no regrets or disappointments living in the now. The NOW is complete and that make you experience yourself as complete.
If you are not experiencing the NOW, now, that's because you are short-circuiting your experience of the NOW by having your attention focused on your thoughts rather than focusing your attention on your feelings of NOW.
To feel (experience) the NOW, now, focus on something outside yourself that is more important to you than the non-stop thoughts galloping through your mind. Focus your attention on a rose, a plant, a blade of grass, a chicken or a fish.
Focus your attention on a tree, a cloud, maybe the stars in the sky.. Allow yourself to be drawn into what you are looking at because all of those things live in the NOW. Allow yourself to be the cloud, the bird, the tree, the baby in your arms but for a brief moment. When allow yourself 'to be' what you are totally absorbed into, you experience the now NOW and feel the power of the now coursing through your veins.
ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DRAWN INTO THIS FROZEN MOMENT IN TIME.
A picture is always a snapshot of the NOW, with nothing added. Focus
your attention on this picture, and feel the NOW now...

Be-ing REAL Defined
Being real means being true to your own beliefs, thoughts and opinions and not the beliefs, thoughts and opinions of others.
Being real means telling 'your truth' to yourself rather than mentally parroting the truth of others. 'Your truth' will always make you feel good while the truth of others will not. If 'your truth' doesn't make you feel good, you are not telling your truth to yourself, you are lying to yourself. (For more in-depth information about lying to ourselves, click here.)
Being real means you don't feel bad because of other people's troubles and you don't do things for other people comes from feeling bad about their situation .What you do feel about their situation is love for them. And what you do see is if they were powerful enough to create the troubles they have by the choices they made, then they are powerful enough to make the choices they need to make to solve their problems for themselves.
When you believe people can't solve their own problems, you weakens them. Thinking people aren't capable of solving their own problems is an ego trip. An ego trip most commonly taken by parents whose children are having troubles. Parents take this ego trip out of guilt and blaming themselves for the troubles their children have.
If there is something you can do for people having troubles (family members, friends, strangers) coming from a 'feeling good state of mind' because you genuinely want to do it, and guilt is not part of the equation, by all means do it.
Being real means you do not allow yourself to get dragged into other people's soap operas. You no longer accept the false belief that you must feel bad for others when others feed bad. Feeling bad empowers no one, especially yourself.
Being real means you tell your ugly truth to yourself (things that upset you, piss you off or make you angry) as a way of releasing your 'ugly truth' from your mind so you can be as happy and carefree as you want to be.
Being real means admitting 'when you don't know what to do next' and instead of feeling bad about not knowing what to do next, you relax your mind instead and go play. As my friend Frederick Zappone says, 'In the spirit of play, life is easy'.
Being real means you accept the fact that all thoughts that make you feel good are from God (by whatever name you call God *) and the rest are not.
* Organizing Intelligence of the Universe, Infinite Mind, Universal Intelligence, etc)
