11 Tips for the Independent Mind July 15, 2012 written by Ellen Ring, The Panama Insider “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” – Buddha 1. Purpose 2. Prayer 3. Flow 4. Perspective 5. Reverence 6. Change 7. Courage 8. Community 9. Creative Release 10. Activity vs. Action 11. Self- Invest
1. Purpose: ‘The purpose of life is a life with purpose, so I’d rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless.’ –Immortal Technique ‘A life with passion is a life with purpose. What’s yours?’-Lean Kallal Ask yourself, ‘What is my chief definite aim in life? What things need to happen, come into being, need be done in order to align with my heart’s desire and life’s purpose?’ What 5 small changes can I make today?’
2. Prayer: If you don’t know what your hearts’ desire and chief definite aim are, or if you keep confusing ego wants with heart’s needs (the plan is constantly changing and plans never seem to work), then simply pray. ‘Diving and Loving Universe, I trust you to listen to my heart’s desire and help me align with my soul’s purpose. I will look for your answer in the form of coincidence. I will take action when I recognize a coincidence, and I promise to be grateful when you share with me the answers.’ Seek refuge in spiritual text. Study of philosophy and metaphysics are essential to develop right mind, right body, and right action. My favorite method of ‘self help’ is via YouTube Videos. Check out ‘Abraham- Hicks’, ‘Eckhart Tolle’, water by Dr. Emoto, and ‘Spirit Science’. That should keep you entertained for a year. Scientifically speaking, what happens when you pray over your food? Meditate instead of wait? Giive thanks and show reverence? What happens energetically and physically when we recognize coincidence as the Universe’ way of saying that we are exactly in the right place at the right time? You are connecting with the ether, with the portal to a higher power, with the part of you that exists outside your body which you are free to claim and which is there to support you at all times. You need only remember the connection and access it willingly.
Page 2 of 7 Accept your connection to yourself, your family, your town, your planet, your universe. It requires the recognition that you are a deliberate co-creator of your reality and that even though you may not have realized it, you choose your reality at every moment of your existence. If you don’t like what you are seeing, you can alter that reality because we each create the world around us. Prayer + connection + visualization= manifesting exactly what you want.
3. Flow: In a crazy world where you disagree with the actions of authority figures, telling a person experiencing anxiety to go with the flow might seem contradictory to your patriotic senses. However, always going against the grain is a tiresome battle. Could your energy be used in more powerful ways? If you are lacking personal power, the only way to get it is to gain it from inside. External power and things obtained by force must be maintained by force. Your true heart’s desire will come naturally and WILLINGLY as you allow it to flow toward you by focusing your intention, daily. What you give energy to you have the power to remove. When you have extra energy laying around, or opportunities to create energy, return your focus to your purpose, which should be written in plain sight. If you are constantly caught up in the generation of negative energy, by surrounding yourself with negative people or by being negative people, you are losing. It feels so much better to win and vibrate from a place of love and compassion. What we used to think of as ‘winning’ meant being powerful over others. But now that we understand everything is energy and that the most rewarding vibrations reside at the level of love and insight- we can understand that triumphing over our own self-limiting beliefs is a far more powerful way of winning in the game of life. Just let it flow to you. Say to yourself now, ‘I am a champion.’ Learning how to talk to yourself and allow the flow instead of self-sabotage is the greatest play-book strategy I know of. Remember that it is within your power to change your scenery. Yes faith (the absence of fear) and courage (the presence of faith) are required. Whether you elect to relocate, move around until something ‘just clicks’, or keep planted in the same pot- your life develops feelings of worth and power with these four things: purpose, faith, courage , and flow.
4. Perspective: Best ways to gain patience, persistence, and perspective are through travel and interaction with people who have traveled. When you see how other people are living, hear their stories, analyze what they tolerate and work around, and experience this for yourself, many of the triggers in your life will lose their power. Basically what you are doing is putting yourself in a position to fail forward quickly by forcing yourself to face a number of unknown possibilities. You also witness your true character because the true sign of character is what you do when you don’t know what to do. Give thanks for your expanded perspective. Give thanks for what you have, what you don’t have, and yes- even give thanks for the things you want. Being grateful puts things into context specific to your life and via the law of attraction, it attracts more things to be thankful for. Teach yourself how to think differently about your circumstances, no one outside can do this for you, but you can learn from the expanded perspectives of others. ‘Look into inside, you can.’ Ale Zion
Page 3 of 7 Focus to reprogram your power, and guide your thoughts to become more powerful. Focus on the positive and eliminate the negative. Best practices include the elimination of ‘no’ from your vocabulary. Instead of ‘don’t, I don’t want, that’s not right, stop, I’m not going to…’ Give your thoughts (and soon to be reality) some power and direction. Say what you will do, what you do want, what is good about the situation. Try it, CONSTANTLY. Training yourself to be more powerful, generally means getting a guide. That can be a book, a friend, a retreat, a liaison, and there are also the beloved ascended masters always available whenever you desire to tune in, tern on, tap in.
5. Reverence: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You want to be treated with reverence, respect, dignity, kindness. Unfortunately, some people enjoy the drama and conflict too and want to be treated that way as well. So figure out what part is your ego and what part is your true essence. We promise that if it’s negative, it’s some aspect of your ego, which is not really you, so you can now stop identifying yourself with your ego mind and start identifying with your heart’s desire, in the alternative. Let’s get something straight here: Your ego is the bad guy. You are a radiant child of love and light who comes directly from the divine and loving Universe and who wants you to be healthy, wealthy, and wse. We know this to be true because if the Universe did not want to be, it would have blown up and disintegrated a long time ago. I mean, with so many choices, variables, negativity, ‘random occurrences’ the laws of probability and statistics would have turned tails at least once by now. There’s an interesting discussion about this if you YouTube ‘Spirit Science’. If the Universe didn’t want to be and didn’t want us to be here, surely we’d be gone by now. Maybe that is happening in 2012. Who will be spared? Well, my bet is that the ones who can transcend and transmutate negativity into positivity will AT LEAST feel better about the big changes which must occur since we can no longer sustain the planet on our current trajectory. Our best bet is to grow up. Look, there is a divine design. There is no randomness; all is by design. Get educated so that you can have some perspective which will bring reverence so that you can go with the flow and change into being your own best investment. The world is your canvas, and you are the artist. The world is your mirror; the people in your life are a mirror of how you are being. We reflect your thoughts which become action and realty. If all you are getting is a trash reality- it is a reflection of how you are being. Try turning off the trash talk (TV) and turn on your personal power. Discover about your energy, the chakras, how to get energy from nature so that you no longer have to steal it from others through control dramas. Be reverent to yourself first. Practice kindness with the lowest among you including yourself. ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’ Mahatma Gandhi
6. Change: Most people play the same broken record over and over, a control drama, in order to gain their sense of importance. You can learn about this and how to transform energy by reading the Celestine Prophecy. A trick I use is to just Googled ‘Celestine Prophecy free pdf’. People are waking up in waves of mass consciousness making it increasingly easier to join the millions of people who are waking up to their cocreative capacity. People are discovering that you can get your feeling of importance by taking action toward the things that matter most to you, drawing from the satisfaction of giving and sharing unconditional love and abundance instead of the old standard of dominating others. MILLIONS of people
Page 4 of 7 are getting off the couch, turning off the TV, and rapidly changing the habits and thoughts that no longer serve them. Think of 5 little changes you can make, and take action. When you ‘fail’ retreat for some perspective, and allow yourself to fail forward fast. Society used to teach that the consequences of failure are too harsh, so you’d better get it right the first time or keep it a secret and avoid ridicule. If the old lessons you were taught as a child no longer serve you, it is within your power to access new lessons and selfserving thoughts. Remember that isolation is the first rule of war because it gets you stuck spinning the same record without realizing that you can change the music. Observe when you hear yourself repeating the same old song and dance. You have the power to heal all judgment, including self-judgment, and it begins by pointing the finger inward. Just observe. Since the ego is not YOU, you can disconnect from it without such a dramatic ‘ego trip’. And when you don’t know what to replace that song with, have some faith, and breath in the radiant loving Universal Light Force. Sacrifice your pain to Mother Earth’s alter of acceptance and allow yourself to breath in that ethereal Universal essence which is the part of you that USED to exist outside, unnoticed. Simply bring it into your consciousness and allow it to fill you with unconditional, powerful positive energy. Breath now. Do you feel it? Breath some more. It feels good doesn’t it? Begin expanding your awareness, trying new things, experimenting with different ideas. Getting to understand yourself allows you to understand others. Get in the habit of being reverent with yourself and the world will graciously mirror you. Then it’s easier to flow with the reality you are willing into our shared existence. Remember, as self-centered as the ego would lead us to believe, you are not just a creator. You are a co-creator. Shake things up a bit and learn to play nice with all of the other illuminating bodies.
7. Courage and Character: Google this subject. Having the courage to get exactly what you want requires right thought, right speech, and ultimately right mind. A healthy mind is reflected in a healthy body, thanks to a nurtured spirit, and vice versa. This is known as the circle if life. Meaning, you can’t escape it with prescription drugs, not even weed or shamanic hallucinogens can permanently heal you. Only your resolve to examine your true self can lead to self-love and happiness in abundance. Imagine if everyone in the world, including yourself, would stop listening to their egos and the ego-driven pharmaceutical media whose only goal is to get you to consume stuff under the pretense that it will satisfy you. Listen, we’ve come to a point where we have all the modern conveniences we need. Now the Universe is demanding for us to step back and discover what science and technology couldn’t answer for centuriesI’m talking about the nature of things, the laws of nature and our place in it. Now, we have the technology and capsity to share this new-found-science with the masses to change mass consciousness and bring about the change we wish to see in the world. I know it’s true, because I’ve studied it for so long, and because I feel people begging to learn from my perspective. That’s what gives me the courage to invest my time to share my education with you here today. Maybe if this inspires you and helps you some, could you do me a little favor by passing it on? In this way, you spread love, and are paying me back by letting me know that my love for the world is spreading along. It would be a really humbling honor to have all my pain and experiences be of some benefit to the world. Maybe you can help me heal my karma, your karma, and ultimately the world’s karma simply by sharing this report? Remember the circle of life.
Page 5 of 7 So as you pluck away constantly at polishing those aspects, through your successful attempts, you gain courage to try, try again. Courage is not always bold; sometimes it is the little voice inside that quietly says, ‘Keep going. You can do it. Have faith. Be brave. Be bigger. Be bold. Pass your test.’ Courage is the most important factor in whether someone has character or not. The world needs more people who have the courage to tell the truth and abstain from lieing. Apart from that it is said that the two things we have to overcome in life are fear and greed. Fear is the absence of faith, and greed is the absence of abundance. Develop faith and feelings of abundance through practice. Let abundance be a reflection of your life. Look at every thing you have and be grateful for your abundance. Now try being grateful for what you don’t have and for what you do want. Share this abundance through your expanded perspective (which you probably gained while traveling and seeing how happy others are even with ‘so little’.) You’ll learn that you can live with a lot less because you can’t buy happiness in a store, no matter how much marketers and students of Edward Bernaise will manipulate you to believe. Since money doesn’t have much buying power, consider that learning how to act is a much more valuable commodity and energy exchange from this point moving forward. Signs of character: What you do when you don’t know what to do. When the pressure is on, what choices (or knee jerk reactions) do you make (create/ choose/ think into being)? Here’s some perspective: Is that you? No? Then let it go and welcome the opportunity to practice. Be thankful for the hard times, because they help develop your strength of character and make you aware of any integrity or character issues which you need to strengthen. See things as challenges, not problems, so that you can further view them for what they really are- opportunities for growth in awareness and capability. What is good or bad? Remember the perfection of the Universe? If it weren’t perfectly rolling along, then we’d be gone by now. If it feels like that’s where we’re heading, then you’d best stop the insanity right? You can’t stop other people’s insanity until you stop acting insane yourself. Approach the strife by accepting your co-creative capacity to alter your reality and remember that you created the reality you are in right now. Be willing to look inside. If you only remember one thing that I have said today, let it be this: Every time you point the finger at someone else, there are always 3 fingers pointing back at you.
8. Community: You are not alone. Actually there are 9 billion other people in this world just like you. We all want the same thing. We all want to be happy. We all want to escape the karma we’ve created by trashing ourselves, our family, our planet and so on. The path to happiness is paved in the wisdom that we individually develop through analyzing the shared experiences within groups of like-minded free+ thinking+ individuals. Reach out. Talk about what your heart’s desire or your search for it. Bring it into existence by talking about it with people whom you respect. As you begin to respect yourself more, you’ll respect even the lowest among you, and draw valuable wisdom that was once unavailable because of your ego. When you hear someone else talk about ideas that resonate with your, connect more often. Keep challenging yourself to discover what are your individual strengths and weaknesses are through trial and error. The community of people searching for the same things as you will show grate compassion and support. The people you used to dominate will show gratitude and this will awaken within you so many opportunities to transform your lower vibration thoughts into higher vibration actions. Share your ideas. Share your education. Share your love. Ask yourself, ‘Is this a harmonic vibration? Do I like this chord of attachment?’ If so, go for it. If not, give it to the mother. Create in a community what is difficult to create on your own. Create heaven on earth with us.

9. Creative Release: There is no other release apart from acceptance and creativity. Alcohol, sex, smoking, marijuana, drugs, medicines, abusive relationships, arguments, gambling and so on- those are not releases. They are temporary distractions from the insane illusory ego-mind that we must reprogram. If they were true releases, you wouldn’t need them so addictively. Acceptance of what is and an unshakable motivate to create your own reality are necessary to bring yourself peace, i.e. happiness. Thank the pain, or without it, you probably wouldn’t have developed the willpower to evolve forward. Find creative ways to celebrate as you release the old belief structures and habits that no longer serve you.
10. Activity vs. Action: Look at all the time you choose to waste in your life. I include traffic (commuting), TV, and sleep as some of my top deterrents to activity. You see the problem is that when you start to wake up and think about what you want to manifest in your life, you can start to feel bad when it isn’t happening and you may begin to ignore your duty. So you’ve got to re-prioritize and constantly refill your cup of inspiration. Sacrifice, usually through discipline and goal setting, allows you to make space for more of what you really want. If you want more of something, do more things in that area. Get active in those areas. At the top of my list are meditation and prayer, reflection, healing passed wounds, going with the flow via coincidences, developing courage through inspirational videos and speakers, painting, writing, laughing, busting a move on the dance floor, and sharing my perspective. Solutions that work for me are: 1) Someone else drives while I put on my makeup. 2) I don’t wait, I meditate. 3) I don’t watch TV. I watch YouTube videos or look up a book using key words ‘free pdf’. 4) Join forces with your network. Have the courage to share your ideas and defend them. 5) If it is something you are passionate about, finding time should be a priority. Please note that there is a difference between activity and action. Be more deliberate about doing. Set your intention daily.
BONUS: #11. Self- Invest: I am my own best investment. Can you say the same? I have studied something every day mostly outside a formal educational institution. People say, ‘It is obvious you are highly intelligent.’ Or ‘Wow you’re amazing. I love your way of being.’ Well how did I get that way? IT IS NOT EASY, but it IS WORTH IT. Invest in your own self-development. What’s my motivation? Heal the world by healing within and learning from the wisdom of others. Learning to love every minute of the journey is more rewarding than I could ever explain, because you just have to experience it for yourself to really get it. Remember the in-flight safety warning. Put on your oxygen mask first before assisting others. Here’s a revelation, it’s good to be selfish. If you don’t nourish yourself, you can’t nourish others. Seems like that’s the trouble in the world, if you ask me. “It is better to conquer yourself, than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you. Not by angels or demons, heaven or hell.” – Buddha
Page 7 of 7 You are an inseparable part of our co-creative existence. We all need you to wake up, take ownership, and enthusiastically shout from your heart that ‘YES I WANT TO BE HAPPY AND MORE FREE!’ Claim your divine rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Take a deep breath. Take a leap of faith. Take control of the only thing you can control: yourself. Are you open to ideas?
