There has to be a synergy between your doing and  non-doing, between the conditioned self and the soul that exemplifies  peace, acceptance, compassion, and love.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">Each of you has been conditioned. You have been taught how to think,  how to judge what is right and wrong, and how to look at life. You have  been taught about limitations, and the illusion of needs. You have been  taught about superiority and inferiority, what is success, and the  belief in failure. I am sorry you have been taught this, and I am sorry  that you have to move beyond this to truly live as a spiritual being  having a spiritual experience while muddling through the maya of life. I  am sorry, but let\u2019s not focus on \u201chow the mule got in the ditch;\u201d let\u2019s  begin to get him out!<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">Your soul knows Oneness. Your soul knows compassion with strength.  You soul knows non-enabling empathy. You soul knows acceptance, and  love, for it is those things; it lives in those truths. Now we have to  move beyond our conditioned thought patterns, our conditioned belief  systems, basically everything about the conditioned thinking mind, to be  able to live in and express our true nature.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>Yes, it is a journey, a process. A process that not only each  individual will experience, but also humanity in general. I believe  that every human being has the capacity, and will eventually wake up.  And in the meantime, here are some thoughts and insights to help you  live a synergistic life.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">1. First, understand, every human being is a conditioned being, and  that conditioned being is in control until Self Awareness occurs. This  means the conditioned, thinking mind is in charge, and sadly, the  conditioned, thinking mind is the mind that has been taught how to  judge, and what to judge. Judgment of any kind is not part of the  \u2018Absolute You,\u2019 and it goes against your true nature. Before Self  Awareness, many believe they are their thoughts; they believe they are  their bodies. Before Awareness, they believe that the human \u201cthem\u201d is  the real \u201cthem.\u201d Before Awareness, they may even believe there is a  soul, an aspect, or a invisible part of them, that really does not get  to express itself until death. Before Self Awareness, there is division,  and it is this division (and the beliefs that come with it) that happen  to be the culprits for every problem we face today. Think about this:  it is division or separation that creates a \u2018me versus them\u2019 mentality.  There is no \u2018me,\u2019 and there is no \u2018them.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">2. Begin to see the ramblings of the conditioned thinking mind for what  they are. They are taught patterns created because of your  conditionings, and now, many of those ramblings are nothing more than  old habits. Habits that are not helpful and in many situations harmful  to your well-being, not only mentally, but also emotionally and  physically. Habits that can either be broken or changed through Self  Awareness, or a choice to be different.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">3. Begin to use the mind purposefully, intentionally, and consciously,  and leave the other ramblings of the mind alone. Choose to live each  moment with purpose. Choose to live each moment with intention. Choose  to be more than what you have been taught. Choose to not participate  with the mind as the mind habitually begins to judge (yourself and  others). Choose to leave the past behind (yours and others), and begin  to live in the only moment that counts: this moment of NOW!<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">4. Remove yourself from situations, places and groups that keep the  judgment alive, and keep you in a place of separation, segregation, and  judgment. This may include family, friends, and\/or even your political  affiliation or religion. If anyone, even your religion, is keeping you  tied to the illusions of life such as need, conditionality, failure, or  superiority, etc., remove yourself from them. However, as you are  leaving, do not leave judging them, or thinking of yourself as being  better for leaving. Just simply \u201cNamaste\u201d them, and leave.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">5. Meditate daily, and begin to live meditatively. A meditation  practice that shows you how to observe the mind rather than participate  with the mind will support you in ways that you could not or would not  imagine. This also coincides with #2. As you begin to learn to observe  the mind during meditation, it will be easier to do so as you are moving  through life. Living meditatively simply means to be present in each  moment, and honor each moment as it arises. Living meditatively also  means that you see each moment as sacred, and in turn you treat each  moment as sacred; one that cannot be recreated and shouldn\u2019t be missed.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">6. Be here now, and treat each living thing as a sacred being, even if  you believe they are not acting as such in the moment. Each living thing  is ultimately an expression of God. They too are conditioned beings,  and they may not know their Godliness yet. They still may be in the  throes of their conditionings, or in the process of moving beyond those  conditionings. They are in the process of awakening as well. They could  also be awakened ones that are not \u2018acting awake\u2019 just for the purpose  of helping you awaken.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\"> 7. Train your mind to be based in Oneness. Train your mind to be  compassionate, understanding, accepting, kind, forgiving, and loving.  Train your mind to live in abundance through thanksgiving. Train your  mind to look for the Godliness in everyone and everything. Training your  mind sometimes means not participating with old thought patterns any  longer. Sometimes it means looking graciously at the life you have now,  and being thankful in the moment, and sometimes it means choosing to be  different than you have in the past. There are many ways to train the  mind, but realize this: if the human mind functions the way it does  because it has been taught to, it can also be retrained to be a  different way.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">To be the change you want to see takes effort, and conscious actions  being the change you wish to see. Are you being part of the synergy of  life, or are you just talking about it? Is there synergy inside of you?<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/change\/V5303936f.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"249\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">Love &amp; Light,<\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\">Angel Love<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/hearts\/World_Heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"171\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synergy: when two parts cooperate, or work cohesively together, to produce a result that is greater than the individual efforts combined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2676,93,1629,69,2110,32,2232,2123,5770],"class_list":["post-100277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","tag-angel-love","tag-change","tag-humanity","tag-life-2","tag-light","tag-love","tag-meditation","tag-oneness","tag-synergy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100277\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
