  • The High Cost of Highs: Why Temperance is the Warrior’s Path.

    “You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”

    – Paramahansa Yogananda

    FOCUS IS POWER: ESCAPING THE FUGAZI OF MODERN DISTRACTIONS

    Take away focus, and you take away power.

    The powers that be want you numb, distracted, and incapable of deep focus.

    “Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.” – George Carlin

    I heard that Ajahn Chah once said that seven minutes of concentration would get you to Samadhi, a state of profound meditative absorption where the individual ego dissolves, and one experiences complete union with the divine or ultimate reality.  Love-bliss-wisdom. 

    Trapped in a cycle of distraction, stress, and emotional highs and lows, many seek escape through self-medication. Sex, Drugs, alcohol, excessive entertainment—anything to dull the underlying discomfort.

    But all of these just weaken you further. They are illusions, just like the world itself. Fugazi (false, bogus, inauthentic). A mirage. A dream within a dream.

    PRACTICING TEMPERANCE (SEX, DRUGS, WINE, AND MONEY).

    Intoxicants are harmful to those on the path.  In the journey of spiritual evolution, true triumph doesn’t come from chasing fleeting pleasures, but from mastering ourselves in every facet of life. Our modern world bombards us with temptations, enticing us with immediate gratification in sex, drugs, and indulgence in wine, alongside the relentless pursuit of wealth.

    Yet, within this flurry of sensory enticements, a profound reality unfolds: authentic fulfillment isn’t discovered in temporary highs, but in the bliss of meditation and inner contentment. Indulging in pursuits like sex, drugs, wine, and the relentless quest for wealth enfeebles the mind and signals to the Divine that we prioritize transient indulgences over a deeper connection with God.  Pursuing the delusions of the senses leads only to sensory saturation and disillusionment.

    Many individuals find themselves trapped in cycles of suffering, seeking solace and escape through self-medication. Whether it be numbing the pain of existence with substances or seeking thrills to alleviate boredom, these behaviors stem from a fundamental disconnection from oneself and the world around them.

    The temptation to seek a high, whether through substances or other avenues, often stems from a longing to transcend the mundane and briefly escape the burdens of reality. However, punitive measures like incarceration only perpetuate cycles of suffering and alienation.

    Instead, we can look to successful models like those in Portugal and Europe, where a public health-focused approach addresses the root causes of addiction. By providing support and resources for individuals seeking to overcome their challenges, we can pave the way for lasting recovery and holistic well-being.

    True liberation comes through education, meditation, spiritual practice, and the cultivation of inner strength.  By teaching individuals how to harness their innate capacity for inner contentment, self-discipline and righteous living, we empower them to break free from the shackles of desire and addiction.

    Meditation, in its various forms, offers a path towards this liberation. Through the practice of mindfulness and introspection, individuals can learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, gaining insight into the root causes of their suffering.

    In the stillness of meditation, one can discover a profound sense of peace and contentment that transcends the transient pleasures of the senses.  We discuss methods of achieving this later on in Chapter 6:  Overcoming the antagonistic mind and heart.

    Ultimately, the art of victory in the realm of the soul lies in the cultivation of virtue and inner strength. By embracing temperance in all aspects of life – from our consumption habits to our relationships – we can unlock the true potential of our being and find lasting fulfillment in the journey towards self-mastery.

    SELF-MEDICATED SLAVERY VS. SPIRITUAL SOVEREIGNTY

    Drugs and intoxicants—including alcohol and cannabis make your mind shallow and then you are not able to penetrate the deeper truths in life. 

    They interfere with your ability to perceive reality clearly. They dull the nervous system, which is the very instrument through which higher consciousness is experienced. When the nervous system is overstimulated or chemically altered, it becomes harder—not easier—to access intuitive insight, inner peace, and divine connection.

    The temporary relief these substances offer comes at a long-term cost: weakened willpower, emotional instability, and spiritual confusion. Cannabis in particular promotes a kind of artificial detachment and pseudo-spirituality that mimics expanded awareness, but actually fragments the mind and clouds judgment. What seems like insight under the influence often dissolves under sober reflection.

    As per karma, the universal law of cause and effect, actions that pull the consciousness downward—toward escapism and dullness—accumulate consequences that make future growth more difficult. Every time we turn to a substance to avoid discomfort, we’re reinforcing the habit of running from life rather than mastering it.

    There is a better way. Yoga and meditation aren’t just relaxation techniques—they are precise tools for awakening the nervous system, strengthening the will, and aligning the mind with truth. They train you to face life’s challenges with calm clarity rather than avoidance. This is the path to true power and fulfillment.

    The modern world pushes distraction, indulgence, and artificial highs. But this only keeps people disempowered and numb to their higher potential. The real revolution is in reclaiming your attention, your vitality, and your spiritual clarity.

    Don’t choose sedation. Choose self-mastery.

    Don’t self-medicate. Meditate.

    Choose clarity. Choose strength. Choose the truth of who you really are.

  • Echoes of Grace: Unveiling the Sacred Truth Behind the Divine Command to Love and Forgive.

    FORWARD:

    How can Sifu Matt Russo, a martial arts master and expert in the art of violence, write about this? Because I am also a raja yogi spiritual scholar-warrior, and I understand that in the material realm, boundaries exist. Light and dark exist. There are moments when life may force you into situations where action is required. In these instances, one must choose the lesser of two evils: either engage in the fight and triumph or submit and face dire consequences. With this understanding, I confront these challenges with both spiritual wisdom and martial expertise, knowing that true strength lies not only in physical mastery but also in the discernment of when to fight and when to seek peace. Only engage in physical violence when you are forced to do so to protect oneself and others but not for egotistical reasons.

    Love: The Cosmic Law and the Path to Healing

    Love is the fundamental force of the universe—this truth transcends time, culture, and religious tradition. Whether spoken through the lips of Jesus Christ, Buddha, or Lao Tzu, the message is clear: Love is the way to peace, healing, and ultimate liberation from the cycles of suffering. It is not just a moral directive but a universal law—an energy that transcends and transforms all that it touches. In a world increasingly defined by division, fear, and anger, this ancient wisdom offers us the key to healing, both within and without.

    The Cosmic Law of Love

    The universe operates according to certain laws—laws that govern energy, matter, and consciousness. One of these is the Law of Attraction, which asserts that like attracts like. If you send out negative energy (chi)—be it through anger, hatred, or fear—that is the energy you will attract. It creates a cycle that perpetuates more negativity, binding you to a lower vibrational frequency. On the other hand, when you respond to negativity with love, compassion, and peace, you raise your own vibration and begin to dissolve the darkness around you.

    Love is the highest vibration in the universe. It is the essence of creation, the very force that holds everything together. When we respond to hate with love, we align ourselves with the divine, and we begin to transmute that which was negative into something pure and healing. This is the alchemy of energy, a sacred transformation that turns lead into gold, darkness into light.

    Responding with Love: The Ultimate Protection

    When faced with anger, malice, or negativity—whether directed at you or from within your own heart—remember that energy follows intent. When someone directs negative energy towards you, they are caught in a spell, a form of temporary insanity, and they are not only projecting their internal turmoil but also testing your ability to rise above it. To meet this aggression with fear, anger, or resistance is to engage in the same low-vibrational energy they are sending out. This only feeds the conflict, strengthening the cycle of negativity.

    But when you respond with love, compassion, and understanding, you break that cycle. You raise your energy above the lower vibrations, effectively neutralizing and transmuting the negative energy. Just as water extinguishes fire, love quashes hatred. And in this process, you do not just protect yourself from harm—you also offer healing to the aggressor, dissolving their pain with the light of your compassion.

    This teaching is not just a moral directive. It is a spiritual practice that transforms your inner world, your energy, and by extension, your outer reality.

    The Divine Command to Love and Forgive: A Universal Truth

    Jesus Christ, one of the greatest spiritual luminaries in history, taught us that love is the answer to every conflict. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus boldly proclaimed, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). This radical teaching transcends simple morality; it is a method of energetic transmutation. By blessing those who harm you, you protect yourself and dissolve their negativity, raising both yourself and them to a higher vibrational state.

    In the face of violence, Jesus’ words offer a path of peace. He demonstrated this through his own life, even when he was crucified, asking God to “forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). His ability to transcend hatred with love and forgiveness set the stage for the ultimate alchemical transformation—the reconciliation of humanity with the Divine.

    Buddha, too, spoke of the transformative power of love. In the Dhammapada, he wrote, “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is the eternal rule.” For Buddha, love and compassion were not merely virtues to aspire to, but the very foundation of the path to enlightenment. The practice of Metta, or loving-kindness, teaches us to wish happiness and peace upon all beings, regardless of their actions.

    Lao Tzu, the great sage of Taoism, similarly emphasized love and compassion as the path to harmony with the Tao, or the natural order of the universe. He spoke of “deep love” as one of the essential treasures to be guarded and cultivated. Through love, Lao Tzu taught, we align ourselves with the natural flow of life and create peace both within and around us.

    The Boomerang Effect

    The law of karma is clear: the energy you send out returns to you, whether it be positive or negative. In this sense, every thought, word, and action becomes a seed that you plant in the universe. When you respond to negativity with love, you are not only healing the moment but also sowing seeds of love that will grow and return to you in abundance. The more love you give, the more love you receive. This is the divine reciprocity that governs all creation.

    When you meet aggression with love, you disrupt the cycle of violence and hatred. Instead of perpetuating the conflict, you offer the world a higher frequency—one of peace, compassion, and divine grace. Through this simple, yet profound practice, you can transmute any situation, no matter how dark, into an opportunity for growth, healing, and transformation.

    Love as the Path to Freedom

    The act of loving and forgiving is not simply a moral imperative—it is the key to spiritual freedom. By loving and forgiving those who harm you, you release yourself from the chains of anger, fear, and resentment. These negative emotions bind you to the past, preventing you from fully embracing the present moment. By choosing love, you free yourself from these limitations and allow yourself to step into the flow of divine grace.

    Love is not just an emotion; it is a choice, a conscious decision to align with the highest vibrations of the universe. It is through love that we find healing, transcend suffering, and create a world of peace and harmony. As you practice love and forgiveness, you not only elevate your own soul but also contribute to the healing of the world around you.

    The Power of Blessing: Transmuting Negativity with Love

    When faced with negative energy (chi)—whether from another person or from within yourself—the act of blessing with love becomes a powerful tool for transmutation. As Master Choa Kok Sui explains in Practical Psychic Self-Defense for Home and Office, when you bless someone with love and good intentions, you repel and transmute the negative energy directed towards you. This not only neutralizes the negative energy but also helps transmute it into calmness and understanding, preventing the psychic boomerang effect. By blessing those who curse you, you follow the teachings of Jesus and Buddha, transforming curses into opportunities for healing, both for you and the aggressor. Hatred begets hatred, but love begets love, and in this way, you break the cycle of negativity.

    Conclusion

    In the end, the divine command to love and forgive is not just a spiritual teaching—it is the very foundation of the universe. It is the energy that holds the cosmos together, and by aligning ourselves with it, we become co-creators of a world filled with peace, love, and light. So, embrace love in all its forms, forgive those who wrong you, and watch as your life transforms in ways you never thought possible.

    The universe is waiting for you to remember this truth: Love is the way, the truth, and the life.

  • WHAT IS MODERN HO’OPONOPONO?

    Modern Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian spiritual practice for self-cleansing and healing that emphasizes total responsibility for everything in one’s life, both personal and external. It teaches that the problems we perceive in the world are not separate from us but are reflections of unconscious memories, beliefs, programming, static, limitations, or data (karma) within us. The world is a mirror. By using specific cleaning techniques, we can erase these memories, return to a “zero state,” and open ourselves to divine inspiration.

    The practice centers on repeating four key phrases (mantra): “I love you,” “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” and “Thank you”. These phrases help clear negative emotions and memories, leading to inner peace and healing. The ultimate aim is to cleanse oneself continuously, allowing life to flow effortlessly without attachment to outcomes.

    Key principles include:

    • Personal Responsibility: Every issue, whether it involves you or others, stems from your internal memories (karma). You are responsible for healing those within yourself.
    • Cleaning Process: Cleansing involves erasing memories (referred to as data) that create suffering or block divine inspiration. The goal is to return to the “zero state,” a void where you can connect directly with Divinity.
    • Zero State: This is the ideal state of pure potential, where one is free of past conditioning and able to receive divine guidance or inspiration.
    • Inner Healing for Outer Change: By focusing on healing yourself, you can indirectly influence and heal others. This principle is powerfully illustrated in Dr. Hew Len’s work, where he helped severe mentally ill criminal patients recover by cleansing his own perceptions and memories related to them. In the same way, you can indirectly clear the external blockages in your life by addressing and healing what is within you.
    • Tools: Practical aids, such as blue solar water and CEEPORT® products, are used to assist in the cleaning process. These tools help erase memories and bring the practitioner closer to the zero state.
    • Continuous Cleaning: Modern Ho’oponopono advocates ongoing, daily cleaning to maintain peace, clarity, and connection with the divine. Life becomes effortless, or “wu wei,” when one lives in a state of continuous cleansing.

    Modern Ho’oponopono, as updated by Dr. Hew Len and Dr. Joe Vitale, merges spiritual principles with practical tools for self-purification. Its application is versatile, addressing health, relationships, wealth, law of attraction, and overall well-being by continually cleansing the internal memories that shape external experiences. Through this practice, one seeks a life free of resistance, filled with divine inspiration, and lived in harmony with the universe.

    Dr. Haleakalā Hew Len was a world-renowned Ho’oponopono master, spiritual healer, and Hawaiian psychologist who popularized Ho’oponopono famously applying it to heal criminally insane patients by focusing on healing himself. His story and approach were widely shared through the book Zero Limits, co-authored with Joe Vitale, which helped spread awareness of Ho’oponopono globally.

    Dr. Vitale is a spiritual teacher and an influential figure, especially known for his role in the hit movie ‘The Secret’ and his contributions to the world of personal development.
