<p>The leafless trees during fall and winter helped me come into an inter realization about not judging a situation base on physical appearance.</p>
<div id="attachment_205" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_1885.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-205" title="What_Is" src="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_1885-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Accepting what is</p></div>
<p>I have come to realize and accept the Buddhism&#8217;s definition and answer to <strong>the notion of Universal Human suffering,</strong> to be practical and true. This is not now my primary state of initial response to the ISNESS of the NOW moment of life as most <strong>human Beings</strong> have been socialized to <strong>BE</strong>. This as the teachings of Buddhism explains it, is the reason why we <strong>suffer</strong>. This would need to be put in context and have the following questions explored, addressed and possibly answered so that anyone can grasp it&#8217;s <strong>Universal Principle</strong> and <strong>TRUTH</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why do we suffer?</li>
<li>What really is suffering?</li>
<li>How can we view and embrace suffering differently?</li>
<li>If we accept our so-called suffering aren’t we saying it is good?</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>I explored the above questions are explored in detail in the following vBlog:</p>
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YDBbg5v3K-M?version=3&amp;controls=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;disablekb=1&amp;egm=1&amp;hd=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent" width="560" height="340" title="Accepting the ISNESS of the now now" style="background-color:#000;display:block;margin-bottom:0;max-width:100%;" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><p style="font-size:11px;margin-top:0;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDBbg5v3K-M" target="_blank" title="Watch on YouTube">Watch this video on YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>However I am humbled in the awareness not to judge my current <strong>LIFE situations</strong> but <strong>observe</strong> and <strong>acknowledge</strong> every MOMENT to be more empowered not to JUDGE by <strong>appearance</strong>.</p>
<p>I now embrace and have come to realize and recognize that <strong>there is no final destination to arrive at</strong> but a <strong>CONSTANT state of BEING</strong> filled with alertness and awareness.</p></blockquote>
<p>Please don’t try to intellectually understand or realize the fundamental and spiritual truth of this very power FACT, for as it is put forward in <strong>one of the World&#8217;s major religious belief system&#8217;s</strong> writings; that &#8220;<strong><em>things of the spirit can only be discerned spiritually</em></strong>&#8220;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Which is usually when the truth of a message connects invisibly with the <strong>TRUTH of your inner BEING</strong>, where all truths lie waiting for the second coming of your realization of your Christ-like divinity. At which point the words ALWAYS becomes flesh and you have what some call <strong>an Aha! moment</strong>.</p>
<p>I call it “I die minutely for the inner resurrection of the <strong>Christ-like mind</strong> in me”, some call it <strong>the second coming of Jesus Christ</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>This STATE of BEING more readily embraced and developed by anyone will allow for a more authentic and empowering experiencing of the this EXPERIENCE we call LIFE. For it allows for every Human BEING to readily available to take FULL responsibility for EVERYTHING appearing in our individual lives.</p>
<p>&#8230;. Not as a victim of any situation or event but as an <strong>Empowered BEING of the Energy</strong>, who has the FREE WILL to CHOOSE how to embrace every NOW moment and the VERY NEXT moment in the ETERNAL NOW moment in time. Namaste</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1446.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-150" title="IMG_1446" src="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1446-245x300.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="300" /></a>After years of conscious <strong>self exploration</strong> and <strong>self evaluation,</strong> I would have to agree with the notion that <strong><em>everything in the physical Universe</em></strong> is really <strong>ENERGY in Constant MOTION</strong>; including us &#8211; HUMAN BEING.</p>
<div><strong>Therefore</strong> you and me along with every other human being are really <strong>BEING of ENERGY</strong> clothed in <strong>FLESH</strong>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Infact even our <strong>flesh</strong>, <strong>bones</strong> and <strong>all other physical stuff</strong> that make us appears at the visible level of expression <strong>IS</strong> invisible <strong>ENERGY</strong> or <strong>non-material stuff</strong> that is vibrating at a relatively slow speed that <em>causes it to appear</em> <strong>solid</strong> as against its TRUE nature of <strong>invisible energy vibration</strong> or <strong>energy in motion</strong>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>It is <strong>AT <em>our energy vibration level of being</em></strong> that <em>everything in our physical Universe that every</em> is <strong>created</strong> or <strong>caused to become manifested</strong> as our <strong>daily reality</strong>.</li>
<li>Unfortunately <strong>most of our physical creation</strong> or <strong>manifestations</strong> has it origin <strong>in FEAR based energy vibration</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>It is this <strong>FEAR</strong> that causes most of us to behave in ways that unconsciously negotiate and attract the very thing we wish not to have in our lives.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hence we can say it is <strong>FEAR that negotiate for us at our subconscious level of BEING</strong> and <strong>shows up</strong> in <strong>our physical</strong> world (<strong><em>life situations</em></strong>) as <strong>challenging issue</strong> &#8211; <strong>human conflicts</strong>, natural events or as what we may call &#8211; &#8220;<strong><em>I am having a BAD day or Life.</em></strong>&#8220;</li>
<li>All of this is <strong>controlled</strong> or <strong>can be manipulated</strong> by <em><strong>our power of thinking</strong></em>. This has be <strong>proved</strong> and <strong>handed down</strong> to <em><strong>every generatio</strong></em>n in many different ways that &#8211; &#8220;<strong>You are what you are <em>Thinking</em></strong>&#8220;.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p><strong>The interesting part of all of this is</strong> &#8211; since most of us live in <strong>FEAR <em>most of the time</em></strong> and our LIVES, it is <strong>NO</strong> surprise that we have a world that is <strong>not really</strong><strong>what</strong> we would <strong>like to EXPERIENCE</strong>.</p>
<p>This is because it can be proven that we are <strong>unconsciously</strong> CONTINUOUSLY creating OUR physical Universe based on our <strong>COLLECTIVE unconscious FEAR</strong>. This being the case because <strong>at the ENERGY level</strong> of <strong>our BEING</strong> there is <strong>NO discrimination</strong> of <strong>the vibration of ENERGY</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Simply <strong>Frequencies of ENERGY vibration</strong> attaching to <strong>ITSELF</strong> in a CONSTANT collective ONENESS. While creating MORE of IT invisible and outward physical nature WITHOUT a LABEL of GOOD or BAD; RIGHT or WRONG; YOU or ME; the BIRDS or TREES.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>…</strong> therefore it is safe to say that our physical Universe is created by <strong>the conscious and/or unconscious manipulation of this ENERGY</strong> by our individual and collective thoughts (<strong>ways of thinking</strong>)<strong>. </strong>Referred to by most as<strong> <strong>the Spirit</strong>. </strong>I NOW say<strong> &#8211; the LAW …”</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/reflective.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-136" title="reflective" src="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/reflective-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>I have discovered and come to realize that effective prayer requires a <strong>State of Mind</strong> and <strong>Being</strong> filled with the <strong><em>PEACE that </em></strong><em>passes</em><strong><em> Human understanding</em></strong>.</p>
<p>My quest for a better understanding of what life was all about <strong>started </strong>when as I child, <strong>I felt that my entire family and I</strong>, were all <strong>going to hell because God didn’t like us</strong>. This conclusion at that time was arrived at because it was clear<strong> he didn’t answer any of our many prayers </strong>we offered to him<strong> daily </strong>on<strong> our knees, eyes closed </strong>and<strong> face upward </strong>to<strong> Heaven.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Praying</strong> and <strong>the need to pray</strong> was <strong>drilled into my head daily</strong> to be done <strong>before I went to sleep at night</strong>, when <strong>I woke in the morning</strong>, before <strong>I ate anything</strong>, before <strong>leaving the house</strong> and <strong>yes even at school before classes started</strong> for the day.</p>
<blockquote><p>More than thirty years later<strong>, I can safely say </strong>after more than<strong> fifteen years </strong>of<strong> conscious and consistent </strong>exploration of religions and various belief systems:</p>
<ul>
<li>I have <strong>extended my concept of prayers</strong> and <strong>praying</strong> or <strong>acts of worship</strong>.</li>
<li>I now <strong>no longer pray for anything with words</strong> but <strong>continuously try</strong> to maintain <strong>a state of Mind</strong> and <strong>Being of gratitude</strong> for <strong>every</strong> experience or event <strong>I experience</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>This isn&#8217;t <strong>always easy </strong>or the<strong> ready FIRST </strong>response<strong> in every situation </strong>as I go about my daily practical living<strong> or </strong>when<strong> my ego </strong>and<strong> intellect </strong>demands<strong> an excess dose </strong>of<strong> attention.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>I am <strong>now totally at peace</strong> with the notion that there is <strong>never ANYTHING to pray for</strong>.</li>
<li>I, no longer <strong>offer up any prayer</strong> to <strong>something</strong> or <strong>someone</strong> outside my Being.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I may say <strong>THANKS</strong> or <strong>THANK YOU</strong> from time to time when <strong>my innermost feeling of gratitude</strong> is so intense, <strong><em>that I may automatically verbalise my gratitude</em></strong> as (<strong>THANKS</strong> or <strong>THANK YOU</strong>); an <strong>outward declaration</strong> and <strong>reminder</strong> to my self <strong>to consciously look around and observe more of the present moment</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>This <strong>continues to strengthen me</strong> to be <strong>more consistent in my willingness to be</strong> open and receptive to <strong>give up any previously held concept</strong> in place of <strong>a new response in any given moment</strong>.</li>
<li>Which then usually fosters <strong>harmony with whatever IS</strong> in the <strong>NOW moment</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>… this is what I now understand and know to be &#8220;<strong>be still and know&#8230;.</strong>&#8221; and it is truly “<strong>the Peace that passes Human understanding&#8230;”</strong></p>

<p>When in the mist of <strong>a judged</strong> or <strong>labeled</strong> &#8220;<em>bad, difficult, painful or challenging situation or experience</em>&#8220;, the phase &#8220;<strong>this too shall soon pass</strong>&#8221; can be one of the most comforting re-assurances you can receive, reflect on or embrace.  Especially if you allow yourself to acknowledge that, <strong>the statement has proven true countless times before</strong>.</p>
<p>For it represents <strong>the natural ebb and flow</strong> of the <strong>circle of life</strong> that takes place <strong>naturally </strong>at the<strong> invisible </strong>and<strong> physical level</strong> of our <strong><em>life experience</em>.   </strong>Which<strong> is expressed</strong> in our<strong> LIFE SITUATIONS </strong>as<em> events, situations, illnesses</em> etc and ultimately leading to<strong> DEATH </strong>of the <strong>animate </strong>so-called alive physical manifestation<strong> &#8211; you, me, the bird, the bees, plant or trees</strong> deem by most to be the<strong> ultimate </strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>Life CHANGE or TRANSFORMATION.  </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>This, I know is easier said than done &#8211; <strong>to accept and embraced</strong> as a normal part of life&#8217;s process.</p></blockquote>
<p>The key to it&#8217;s mastery lies in embracing the one <strong>undisputed FACT</strong> about <strong>our invisible</strong> and <strong>physical Universe</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Which is &#8211; &#8220;<em><strong>nothing last FOREVER</strong></em>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong><em>everything TRANSFORMS </em></strong><em>and</em><strong><em> CHANGES </em></strong><em>form</em>&#8220;.  Which is necessary for the <strong>free flowing RE-GENERATION</strong> of the <strong>ONE ENERGY vibration</strong> we call <strong>LIFE</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Looked at this way</strong> &#8211; we are force to acknowledge and embrace &#8220;<strong>the only thing that is sure about our life experience</strong> &#8211; there will always be <strong>CHANGE</strong> and <strong>TRANSFORMATION</strong>.</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>&#8230; This undeniable<strong> FACT </strong>about<strong> LIFE </strong>sums up Life to be that<strong> &#8211; &#8220;</strong>everything<strong> MUST </strong><em>transform, evolve, grow, contract</em> <strong>then fade away</strong> to <strong> vibrate </strong>at the frequency of the<strong>  NOTHINGNESS </strong>from which<strong> EVERYTHING </strong>in the physical Universe<strong> sprang forth </strong>from<strong>.</strong> Namaste.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<em>Those who don&#8217;t want to take the risk of growing are swallowed by life&#8221;</em> &#8212; <strong>Patty Hansen</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_62" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 236px"><a href="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/image.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-62" title="Shirvington Hannays" src="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/image-226x300.jpg" alt="smahoo" width="226" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Thankful</p></div>
<p>It is generally accepted or believed by most that on the invisible level of our <strong>Being</strong> there is an invisible <strong>Core</strong> or  <strong>Self</strong> to our physical being. Therefore it is safe to say that our &#8220;<strong>Invisible</strong><strong> Self</strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong>Soul</strong>&#8220;, “<strong>Spirit</strong>” or “<strong>the Energy of Life</strong>” cause all things to become <strong>manifested</strong> or <strong>visible</strong>.  With this as <strong>the belief system</strong> that governs one&#8217;s existence and experiencing life, one will then need to embrace the concept <strong><em>that as a “Spiritual Being” having a human experience</em></strong> we have within us &#8211; <strong>the Realm of Infinite Ideas</strong> (<strong>your Mind</strong>) from which to pull (<strong>to think</strong> and <strong>process thoughts</strong>: <em><strong>concepts, perceptions and experiences</strong></em>).  Which shape our individual (and collective) actions and behavoirs in our <strong>EXTERNAL</strong> and <strong>PHYSICAL</strong> world based on <strong>INNER</strong> desires or intentions.</p>
<p>To do this, we need to master like Moses, Jesus, the Buddha etc; the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. <strong>Power of Thinking</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>It is through thinking that man forms that which he has in his life experience.  <strong>Using this law we can bring forth whatever we have in Mind</strong>. Be it <strong>Productive</strong> (for our so-called good) or <strong>Negative</strong> (destructive or working against our so-called good and well being).</p></blockquote>
<p>2. <strong>The Law of Demonstration</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>This is supported by &#8220;<em><strong>The Law of Mind Action</strong></em>&#8221; which is &#8216;<strong>Whatever you think about you bring about</strong>.&#8217;  It is said that the <strong>man named Jesus said</strong> &#8220;Let your will be done on earth (<strong>in your physical world</strong>) as it is in <strong>Heaven</strong> (<strong>your mind</strong> &#8211; what you are thinking).&#8221;</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>&#8230; Therefore it is necessary to consciously constantly think on those things that will <strong>foster productive inner</strong> and <strong>external demonstrations</strong> only.  Namaste.</p>

<p>Welcome and thanks for joining me in my conscious exploration of my TRUE spiritual identity daily which doing of my best to give of myself unconditionally and empower others who may seek the same for themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Nothing explored and showcased here</strong> will ever be to promote any specific <strong>Belief System as better than; the Only or the Right one</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>As a child, teenager and young adult in Guyana, Barbados and then Jamaica; the word &#8220;<strong>spirit&#8221;</strong> or its most popular used form “<strong>spirits</strong>” meant mainly an invisible <strong>(negative)</strong><strong>force</strong> or <strong>presence</strong> that was always waiting to overcome any form of good that might exist. A presence and force that I lived in fear of until my mid twenties.</p></blockquote>
<p>I feel that the truth be told &#8211; &#8220;No one has a <strong>definitive answer</strong> to that source that sustains life, <strong>every one of us are speculating about something we wish we fully understood</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Called by various names to be God, Allah etc. I choose to refer to as <strong>THAT WHICH CAUSED US TO BE</strong>.  This I know can be considered to be <a href="http://smahoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/The-road-less-Traveled-Rice-and-Peas-for-the-Soul-By-Shirvington-Hannays.mp3">the road less traveled</a> as it is easier to embrace the collective thinking of your <strong>family&#8217;s culture</strong> or <strong>belief system </strong>or<strong> religion</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230; these are my humble views about &#8216;<strong>that which caused</strong>&#8216; us all and every visible and intangible thing in the Universe to become and/or made visible and manifested.  Namaste.</p>
