One of my favorite quotes and the inspiration for this blog is by Buddha… “There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.” After spending the last two years with my precious family deeply immersed in reevaluating, reminding and reconnecting myself with Life Itself, I am walking away with what I believe is my greatest contribution to Consciousness… a disciplined mind. If you want to help the world, you must help yourself first!

At times this journey became so fulfilling that I contemplated the idea of moving with my family to Costa Rica and spend the rest of my life meditating and being as close as possible to nature. On the other hand while writing this blog I debated if I should share with you that at times it also felt like I was dying. I decided that the only thing I have to share is that in order to have an extraordinary life, you must dissolve the illusion of fear.

So if you are wondering why I am writing about this journey, if I don’t want to share all the details? It is because it is NOT important. Drama is humanities’ biggest challenge and in order to dissolve it, we must realize that it is nothing wanting to be something. In order to lift humanity, animals and the planet to its original pattern, we must abandon talking about the drama, contemplating it and believing that it is through contrast that we regain our appreciation for the gift of Life.

As Wallace D. Wattles said, “The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the the form of these things.”

What’s important to me at this moment is that I have been appointed through my work, “Progressing Change through Beauty, Wisdom and Success” and through our Foundation Living Consciously By doing so I get to continue the evolution of my individual Soul in the most harmonious path, while living an extraordinary life. When Einstein said, “What the mind can conceive, It can achieve.” It is obvious to me that he meant a disciplined mind. Happiness, Prosperity, Fulfillment, it is all possible and equally available to everyone once you discipline your mind. Although this is YOUR journey of Self Discovery, you DON’T have to do it alone!

I was awakened by my precious daughter’s voice, “Daddy, I need to go to the bathroom”. Right after I put her back to sleep and I was quietly laying down next to my beautiful wife, Kalyani, my old time friend/dog decided that it was time to take care of business… if you know what I mean, LOL. While I was outside our RV waiting for him, I was wondering if this was going to be one of those nights that Spirit had something to say to me that couldn’t wait until the morning. I honestly don’t know if it is because in the middle of the night the collective consciousness is most at peace, or just because my mind is calm from sleeping, but whenever I am searching for answers or ideas, 3:00 a.m. seems to be my designated appointment with the Infinite.
I knew that since I had made a gigantic request to Spirit over 3 years ago and I had consistently held on to my side of the deal, that the gestation process was coming to an end. I had convinced myself, which is all I ever need to do. The Universe never withholds anything from me and this time would not be any different. I felt congruent between my heart and the vision I had been having a love affair with.
I quietly reached for my MacBook and began writing. As far as I am concerned, following through with my inspirations is the only option. When you have the awareness that I have to understand the gift of life, dwelling is something you don’t give any possibility to. Otherwise what’s the point of setting intentions if when it’s time to take action, you are not willing to take risks.
Some people may say that God was talking to me. Others will say that the law of Mind in Action was responding to the impressions of my thoughts, feeling and actions. I say, who cares! Life is too precious to wait another day trying to figure the whole thing out.  I have been there and done that before. Your ego feels threatened by your intuition and selects the information that will invalidate what you know. Blah, Blah, Blah!
I say, “Don’t Wait Another Day”! Go after every one of your dreams today! Is this crazy? I don’t think so. Crazy would be not to do so. At the end, what do you have to lose? Well… you may be unhappy, broke and sick. No thank you. I rather discover what’s ahead in my journey, even if it means getting out of my comfort zone!
So if you are wondering what I decided to do? After talking to my precious family we have decided through our Foundation to travel the nation for a whole year inspiring, empowering and educating families of all socio-economic status to up level the quality of their lives, so together we can make a difference in the world for all Creation. That’s right! But this is not about me, this is about you. We all have to have faith and know that our individual souls are leading us to stay connected with our heart’s desires. It actually knows what we need better than we do because we are conditioned to pay attention to things of lower values.
We all have gifts and talents that are waiting to come out because the world needs what we have inside! I am just very fortunate to have the consciousness to understand things that others can’t YET. Pay attention to the signs, they are everywhere!
Love and appreciation,
Darsana

You Have A Choice!

Good for you! You just made a choice to open your self to learning something new or be reminded of something you already know. Regardless, the point is that you are making choices all the time. Now imagine being able to make the right choices most of those times…  Although wrong choices are here just to let you know that you are going away from your path, they are not FUN! Wouldn’t you agree? I personally feel that I have made too many of those choices in this life, and I am done with them. I no longer believe in contrast, I am into consistency these days!

My guess is that you are probably thinking that you already know you have a choice, so what is my point. First lets bring some understanding into this dynamic exchange of energy that we are having. Knowing something doesn’t mean that you understand it and it definitely doesn’t mean you can use it to get the results you want. If you don’t believe me, just pay a great deal of attention to how many times people say, “I know that”, or ‘I heard that before”, but in the next breath or action they show you that they don’t know it, otherwise they would be making a different choice. So knowing is being able to apply it into your life and get the results you want!

Now, back to knowing that you have choices. Let me give you an example, that sometimes works better for me. Imagine that you sitting next to the Dali Lama in a very loud concert. He has some amazing things to say, but you cannot hear what he is saying. That is pretty much what happens when your inner voice, full of wisdom and intuition, is waiting for you to be silent, but since you are making a choice to continue to think and think, you missed your one to one appointment with the Infinite within YOU. But I am going to make the assumption that if you are reading my blog it is because you have a higher level of awareness than most people and you make the conscious choice to quiet your mind every day like I do.

Let’s continue with the same example since the first time it worked so good or at least it did for me, LOL. The music at the concert stopped for the intermission and you got to listen to the Dali Lama for a little while, and of course he gave you some powerful insights. But once the music started you began to listen to it, perhaps you justified having a beer or a glass of wine. Wait, what I am saying? You are reading my blog, so you would NEVER put mind altering drugs into your body temple. I am so sorry, I thought I was writing to another group of brothers and sisters. My apology. Where were we? I know, after listening to the Dali Lama, you started listening to the music and thinking about past memories or perhaps you slipped into an old mind habit of predicting the future, and all of a sudden, what seemed so powerfully insightful, escaped your mind. Oops! The point is that we have to make conscious choices to stop the noise from the outside world, but we also have to develop a discipline to stay connected and take immediate actions, otherwise, well, you know what happens.

Let me finish by adding this final point. The human mind is just a tool by which we co-create our reality. Quickly I want to underline OUR REALITY, because in that statement lies one of the most transcending understanding of human kind. We are co-creators in the Creative Process of Consciousnes and therefore that is why we can CHANGE our reality and the world by making Conscious Choices together. I know that was a mouth full; just take a few minutes and reflect on what that means to your life right now. What can you take responsibility for and make a conscious choice to change right now in your life because you have the power to do it ? Good, I am happy for you!

This is the key, it becomes a conscious choice when we have the ability to MASTER the mental faculties within our unlimited powers. So whatever it takes in your individual case, is what it takes, but you MUST do it! My advice is that you don’t compare yourself with anybody else. Most of the beliefs that are co-creating your reality come from your unconscious mind and only you can change them. We are ALL different in our humanity and for that reason, your journey has different choices than anybody else. The gift is that inherent within your human potential is the Power to CHOOSE and CHANGE!  If you don’t, you are still making a choice, but it is probably not the one you want!

Lets stay connected and support each other in making the choices that co-create the reality for One Love, One Wealth, One World!

Latino, You Are Who You Are!

I am convinced that even if I spend another 47 years expanding my awareness starting from where I am now, I would only be scratching the surface of my inherent unlimited potential. I am also quite aware that the world around me hasn’t changed, but it is my inner transformation that has allowed me to create my own reality and see the physical world completely different than what it used to be. Have you ever wondered why me? For years I felt like I was so different than members of my own family, friends and other people that were Latinos like me. I was trapped in the middle of my own inner war because a part of me felt proud for growing up with certain values and interests and another part of me didn’t agree at all with some of the beliefs and misconceptions around me. Among other things, there were too many unanswered questions regarding religion and no one dared to step out of the imaginary boxes within the human mind.

I can’t even begin to explain the invigorating joy that flows through me in every moment because I no longer choose to let ignorance and illusions give form to my reality. By mastering the mental faculties available to me, I have created an awesome life in which the next moment is always pregnant with even greater experiences.

But it was not always like this. For many years I was suffering from self imposed fears and insecurities about who I was and where do I fit. You see at the age of 2 my parents decided to move back to their home, Puerto Rico, and I spent the next 16 years absorbing the energy that became the foundation of my reality. Right after my sophmore year my parents moved to California and I spent my senior year in high school not only struggling with learning a new language and culture, but also fighting the desire to grow and embrace the world I was exposed to, yet debating if by doing so I would loose who I thought I was. For the next 10 years I struggled even more with this dilemma and I used things like alcohol, drugs and sex as a way to hide and survive. I was fighting unseen demons, but they seemed so real to me then.

Like all of us I have a story, and perhaps in the book that I am writing (Latino You Are Who You Are) I will get into more details, but for now I want to speak to the 38.8 million Latinos in the USA that could use my experiences as a spring board for the next step they are about to take. No matter what you think, feel, or do with your life, you will ALWAYS be who you are. So if you are Latino, be grateful for what it offers you, but don’t be afraid to change and become a greater expression of God just because unconsciously you don’t want to betray your roots. As a matter of fact, you would benefit tremendously from evaluating the impact that your up-bringing is having on every decision you make. Like my mother would say, “No votes el muchacho con la placenta.” Celebrate the gifts and blessings and let go of the misconceptions and limitations.

Beliefs around religion, alcohol, addictions, male privilege, nutrition, parenting, competition, work, digression of women by sexualizing them, acts of violence against humanity and animals, just to name a few of the unconscious behavioral patterns that were blocking the flow of God Consciousness flowing through me in all my affairs and consequently were robbing me of my own true happiness. I am not more or less Latino than anybody else just because for the last 20 years I have become a different version of me. You see it doesn’t matter how much money you make, your reputation, (el que diran la gente), how popular you think you are, or anything else. How successfully happy you are is a direct result of the awareness, understanding and application around the realization that You are Who You are because you were created in God’s image.

Just Because!

Do you ever wonder why people do the things they do, only to find out later that they were doing it for the wrong reasons? Do you ever tell yourself that you wish you knew then what you know now? The point is that everything is always changing and just because you see things one way now, doesn’t mean that your perception will remain the same, specially if you are like me, someone that loves to live in the present moment but believes that the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know anything!

Just because you are from a younger generation doesn’t mean you have to give in to coolness and give up meaningfulness. Or that you have to use certain clothes or choice of words to give the world a certain image about who you think you are. It doesn’t mean you have to pursue physical goals rather than spiritual growth. Please, don’t tell me that underneath all that stuff, you don’t have the inner desire to love and to be happy, or perhaps to find your life purpose!

Just because you are from an older generation doesn’t mean you have to be stubborn and pretend that you were always the same person you have become. Or that you have it all figured out and therefore there is no possibility for further growth. Come on, times are changing and we are now exposed to more information and discoveries than ever before in the history of mankind, so it would make sense that you open yourself to greater awareness and accept that you don’t know it all.

Just because you are at a point that you think you have things pretty much under control doesn’t mean that things can’t change so quick that your whole world can be flipped upside down. Denial, justification, and even ignorance are choices you make and therefore find yourself stuck in a routine and the convenience of finding new toys to make you feel better about yourself. But you don’t care because you see yourself on top of the world anyway and choose to see and put everybody else down if they are not playing your game.

Just because you are an embodiment of the Spirit you have the right to be authentic and live every moment in passion and be conscious about the vibrations flowing through You. Not only you love your Self, but you feel secure, worthy and confident that you are creating the life of your dreams and that your main objective is to share your talents and gifts with the world as you receive from the Universe all your needs harmoniously. You are convinced that Divine Presence is the ultimate reality and that humanity, the animlas and the planet are within your Consciousness and just because of it, you are making the changes within you, that you wish to see in the World.

“You Must Be The Change You Wish To See in The World”

I often contemplate this quote by Gandhi whenever my mind wants to go into judgement. As I meditate, expand my mind and embrace all the love and abundance that is around me regularly, I am present it with the realization that in order to receive greater level of awareness, I have to bring truth to the things that I don’t like in me and immerse in an environment that represents only the good in everything.

I understand that I have mental faculties that allow me to choose what I think, feel, and the actions I take about any given experience and therefore I have to take responsibility first for the results that are going on with me. I also have learned to accept that there is a Universal process in which changes require an inner transformation, and I enthusiastically open my self to become the new me that can handle such demands. Even though I have made many mistakes while playing this game I call life, I am always humble because no matter how much I have grown, I am just scratching the surface of my human potential; you can’t miss, what you have never experience.

I appreciate the opportunity to utilize this services and your interest on receiving my sincere gift. If anything, it’s my intention to share with you that changes begin within our self first. If you find yourself judging, just forgive yourself, understand that is an ego trick to keep you trap in this illusion, and quickly get connected with Truth.

The Game of Life!

Imagine yourself playing a video game in which you have to experience certain things in order to reveal greater awareness to get to the next level. As you go on in the game, you learn that when you have certain experiences, you gain more energy and there are other experiences that make you weaker, therefore you remain at the same level, sometimes you may even fall into lower levels. You choose to be enthusiastic about the game because you are always learning, even the things you don’t want to experience teach you that you are moving away from where you want to be. As you play the game, you take some time in between to calm the mind.

Consequently you develop an understanding of what are the experiences that make you stronger and receive greater awareness, and you move away from the ones that take away your energy and with it the ability to see things clearly. Since you understand that it’s only a game, you place all your attention into having fun. Once you get to a certain level, you realize that by assisting others to experience greater levels, you gain double the energy and the awareness that comes with it. So you find yourself creating a balance between experiencing greater levels and assisting others as well. Finally you reach a level in which you understand that the experiences you are having, you are the one creating them and that by assisting others to increase their awareness, is the only way to create greater ones for yourself.

Although this game has Infinite levels, there is ONE thing that was, is and will forever remain the same. Since everything is energy, You, Others, the EXPERIENCES and everything included in the game, are ONE with WHAT created the game. Maybe the purpose of life is to play and have fun, no matter what you are experiencing. Maybe that is the key that opens the door to discovering your purpose in life. If you knew without a doubt that you are part of THAT which is INFINITE CREATION and therefore, by definition, you inherit within yourself everything you need to create your life to be exactly they way you want it to be… would you be playing and having fun right now?

If you have any other answer than YES, quickly get connected with whatever you believe is your higher power or reach out to people that are having fun living consciously, before you forget how to play completely. Please don’t talk yourself out of reaching out, remember, we are having fun, because we KNOW that in order to continue playing the game, we are here to assist YOU.

If You Are Going To Go For It, Why Not Go All The Way?

There is no point in taking any risk if you already know that you want more than what you are shooting for. Whether you say it is too much for you to handle or you call it your comfort zone, the point is… Why would you stop short if you already know you are stopping short? It is one thing to be ignorant, or to be experiencing denial, but to know and not do, is not to know..

Working with clients for over 18 years, I have probably heard just about every story in the world as to why people are not receiving what they want from life. If you look up the word victim in the dictionary, some of their pictures may be right next to it. If you are thinking that what I just said was mean, think twice. You know what mean is to me? To buy into their stories and become part of their drama. I didn’t choose to write this post to be a therapist or a counselor, I have already been there, done that, and moved on.

I am using this part of my blog to honor the authentic part of me that can no longer tiptoe around the issues or sit around and not say anything about the pink elephant in the room. So if you thought you were going to read something different, maybe you want to stick around anyway because there is a reason why you were attracted here in the first place. My intention is to bring truth as I see it, and the rest is not up to me. Sometimes our egos get the best of us and rob us from the joy of just being completely authentic and I did that for far toooooo long.

We all have things we want to say, or do, but once again we conditioned ourselves to believe that the reason we don’t say or do them, is because we don’t want to hurt others. That is a lie wanting to be truth. The least you can do is to own it. In order to transcend our fears, we first need to reveal them. Maybe you want to portray a certain image, or you are attached to what others think of you, or perhaps you have a false sense of security, who knows.  Again, this is not the place for therapy, you are capable of figuring out why you stop yourself short from experiencing the greatest gift anyone can give to them self, the gift of lovingly and passionately living an awesome life.

And by the way, if anyone, whether it’s family, friend or partner that can’t handle you being freaking happy and excited about life, then you have more work to do because your life is a reflection of the Consciousness you have until this moment in time. Which means that you can’t blame the circumstances, conditions or results in your life on someone else because you are completely responsible and you have within your Self the ability to make the necessary changes with of course the correct guidance.

So if you are seriously committed to going for it, don’t let your mind set stop short from the awareness you will need to receive it. The mind is just a tool to master and create the life you want, that it, it only does what it is programmed to do. You are the embodiment of the Spirit of Life. Let me finish with this…. everyone and everything will benefit tremendously if you go all the way, so do it!

Until next time, “Either I don’t get it, or you don’t get it, but it’s time to wake up”
