How do you know if you are living your life?
So far, if emotions are not in harmony with your past, then you are not living your life but only burning. it’s the way we view life and how we fall for it! Essentially, we are view-of-life gamers: it’s the only thing we are fighting for. Otherwise, we are falling for it. The question is how are we falling for it in a brain where views of life could be changed? So far, the blocker is called the ego trip.
To make it all easy: What you contradict will get into your mind, at this point, your mind will never be yours but only a product of what one is contradicting (Neo)! Based on J. Solace it’s called the ego trip. The question is how to live a life beyond the threshold of contradictions and what does it mean?
Navigating the Inner Landscape: Exploring the Map of Consciousness
In the realm of self-exploration and personal growth, the “Map of Consciousness” stands as a unique tool. A concept developed by David Hawkins.
What is the Map of Consciousness?
Essentially, the map depicts human consciousness as a spectrum ranging from 20 (shame) to 1,000 (enlightenment). Each level is associated with specific emotional states, beliefs, and vibrational frequencies. As we move up the scale, we supposedly transcend lower, ego-driven emotions like fear and anger, embracing compassion, forgiveness, and love. However, based on J. Solace, it’s broken into two categories: The “Crown” which refers to the higher consciousness levels, and The “Auto Jungle”, and both are considered the brain’s operating systems. However, the higher the consciousness level the higher the brain IQ, as it means higher observation throughout the day, unlike stress which restricts higher observation. Moreover, he states that we can master rejecting the things we don’t like through the higher levels. Otherwise, we are on death symptoms, like being smart through the ego trip because it’s all stressful chemistry and it makes a person smart somewhere but not everywhere. So far, your brain is with you everywhere!
Key Concepts:
Here are some potential benefits:
In the end, one is heading to death symptoms, the moment one stops learning how to accept things as they are because it’s about how destiny’s dynamics work through us, such as looking after your body, which in turn looks after you. This includes eating healthily, practicing deep breathing exercises, and so on. Ultimately, we are destined to live in a body that functions in a certain way. The brain and heart will function at full capacity automatically once one understands the mastery of maintaining balanced blood pressure, which in turn means a balanced emotional response. This process only occurs through the Crown, other than that, it’s a misconception. In the end, you can’t control bad behavior forever, which resonates through the Auto Jungle. Instead, you can only influence your perception, and it’s so clear based on the existence of consciousness of reasoning, which is one of the top five levels of conscience. You are a life machine, and once it stops, life through you stops as well. This is where the “Auto Jungle” strikes; it’s where the Crown breaks, and one’s biology will insistently follow the process, including the heart. At this point, one must learn The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck when it comes to the healing process. In the end, you’re either good in a relationship or ending it positively. Otherwise, it’s a Karmic way of life, which leads to poverty.
Mastering yourself is a skill of all ages, and the path to that mastery happens through the power of your intention. However, to understand this process is to understand that the more you break out of “The Apple” (negative personality) as it comes in different creative ways, the more you’re transforming. It’s how you constantly elevate your mind. It’s an infinite elevation through time and space, through all the ages. It’s how it looks through time travel, either in the distant past or vice versa because in the end, we can only perceive life through 17 consciousness levels regardless of the effects that happen in our biology through each one of them which is so automatic. It’s how destiny works through us (Mr. Miss): Skull Holes.
Imagine a world where you effortlessly navigate complex relationships, communicate with clarity and impact, and make decisions fueled by self-awareness and empathy. This isn’t just a fantasy; it’s the power of emotional intelligence (EQ).
Often overshadowed by IQ, EQ has emerged as a critical predictor of success, both personally and professionally. It’s not about suppressing emotions, but understanding and effectively managing them. It’s about navigating interpersonal dynamics with grace and building meaningful connections.
So, what exactly is this elusive skill? In essence, EQ encompasses five key areas:
Why is EQ so important? Here are just a few reasons:
On a deeper level, the more you break out of your negative personality, the more you’ll experience consciousness, and the more richer you’ll become. Furthermore, the more awareness you want to gain through life events, the more pain you’ll have to digest. It doesn’t happen by force; it is the other way around, meaning it begins by accepting your world for what it really is, which is a phase in life to be able to deeply breathe again naturally and to reclaim your mind from the apple. So far, it seems to be the practice of awareness expansion, which is infinite as life unfolds, and that’s essentially how consciousness expands. It’s how we are destined to live through time and space.
Ultimately, the book is about how the apple started in your life and how it affected your lungs, which makes your heart language. And then understanding the true nature of the apple and how it took your breath. Then finally, how to revert the process to be able to see your life as it would be, like what if you had lived a life where judgments didn’t exist? It’s the life that we are fighting for or falling for; it’s where our lungs are free, which in return means our hearts and brains. It’s where the Neo ignites, meaning the new in you. It happens when you constantly refresh from the past as life unfolds in different ways. It’s what the brain is meant for, and it’s so clear based on the brain functions, which are all about processing information. The only thing standing in its way, however, would be nothing but the Apple codes, as it would be like a different space and time through you, which will always be crashing down with the operations of the present mentality where one’s mind is at ease. Furthermore, getting there every day is the only human challenge, and it’s the only guarantee of constant shapeshifting success. It’s how we transform every day. Otherwise, one’s biology is collapsing smoothly with all the wealth in the physical world. Ultimately, it’s about constant transformation which happens naturally through Apple when one heals from it as it keeps on manifesting in different ways through life events.
So far, personal transformation is not a phase that one goes through once in the story of their life. In contrast, it’s a process that takes place daily throughout the story of your life, particularly through the things that cause a person to wander out of the physical space negatively. It simply refers to negative thinking patterns that cause a negative personality, and it’s called the apple based on the book’s terminologies. However, it happens when things break out of one’s expectations. In other words, traumas are causing the apple, and it’s all due to what one expects out of life when it comes crashing down, causing a mental state that you have never planned for. So far, it has nothing to do with the true nature of your existence, where it’s all about transformation. Transforming is a part of one’s destiny, and it’s one’s choice to block the process by believing in the apple as a way of life. It’s where the brain blows, and success falls. such as the consciousness of blame when it goes in the wrong direction because in the end, “don’t blame people for disappointing you. Blame yourself for expecting too much from them” (Buddha). So far, “Expectations are the root of all heartache.” (Shakespeare). Eventually, “once you give up expectations, you have learned to live” (Osho); otherwise, “it’s insanity because it means doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results” (Einstein). Moreover, “Expectation feeds frustration.” It is an unhealthy attachment to people, things, and outcomes we wish we could control but don’t” (Steve Boll). It’s like this: “No one ever broke your heart. They only broke your expectations. And by doing that, they brought you closer to your heart” (Kyle Cease). The bottom line here is that the root of suffering is attachment (Buddha).
The question is how we operate as human beings through time because it’s either working against us or vice versa. To make it all clear, you can imagine that all the people on Earth are rich! One thing is for sure, you won’t save them from the apple which cause a karmic lifestyle. It’s where time is working against us and it at least leads to chronic stress, like getting used to stress as a way of life. It’s where one will easily slip on an emotional level to the limit where it might distract one from the true story, which is all about shapeshifting success. It’s formless, just like water flowing through life events, as it’s all based on the true nature of one’s levels of consciousness. From a different standpoint, we can only sense time through 17 consciousness levels (David Hawkins: Map of Consciousness). Otherwise, we’re on the bed sleeping. In other words, you can’t move a finger unless through one of the 17 consciousness levels. At this point, our physicality is just about feedback from our metaphysical realms, which is again limited to 17 consciousness levels. It’s destiny, regardless of how we think through it.
So far, nothing is universally copyrighted to us except how we think within our levels of consciousness; anything else is just destiny, and that includes our unique faces and voice tones; we did not design it: (Mr./Miss.) Skull holes, as they’re the doors to life, where it’s all about growth. Otherwise, aging. It must be understood that “We Don’t See Things As They Are, We See Them As We Are” (Anais). At this point, “you are not living because as soon as you see something, you already start to intellectualize it. As soon as you intellectualize something, it is no longer what you saw.” (Shunryu Suzuki). In other words, “the moment you intellectualize life, you are no longer living”. It’s where one might suffocate. Ultimately, we either live based on how we perceive the world, or based on how others perceive the world to make a connection; it’s how we transform through time.
In the end, we are all universally united by the same questions, such as “Why do we exist?” However, our response to that is what essentially makes us unique as individuals, and that includes its unique biological effects and emotional patterns, which seem to be the catch! Once again, human beings can only observe the world through 17 levels of consciousness. According to J. Solace, it’s broken into two categories: The “Crown,” which refers to the Neo within each one of us, it represents our positive personality consciousness levels. Moreover, it starts with neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, and finally enlightenment consciousness level. On the other hand, the second category is called the “Auto Jungle” and refers to the apple as it only operates through the pride consciousness level all the way down to anger, desire, fear, grief, blame, guilt, and shame. It’s where one’s biology is collapsing, In other words, it’s called aging, and surprisingly, it happens around all the air on earth, which is all about about growth.
Imagine effortlessly navigating complex social situations, building strong relationships, and influencing others with charisma and grace. This isn’t just a dream; it’s the power of social intelligence (SI). Often overshadowed by IQ, SI has emerged as a crucial predictor of success, both personally and professionally.
So, what exactly is social intelligence?
Think of it as your emotional GPS, helping you navigate the complex landscape of human interactions. It encompasses a range of skills, including:
Why is social intelligence so important?
The Good News? You Can Improve Your SI!
Like any skill, social intelligence can be developed and cultivated. Here are some ways to boost your SI:
Remember, developing social intelligence is a journey, not a destination. Be patient, celebrate your progress, and enjoy the process of becoming a more skilled and confident social navigator.
Pandemics, like tsunamis, leave behind a landscape of devastation, not just physical but also emotional. While the impact on physical health is undeniable, the ripple effects on our emotional intelligence (EQ) are often overlooked. This article explores the multifaceted ways pandemics can affect our EQ, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities for growth.

Navigating the Aftermath:
Remember: The impact of pandemics on our EQ is complex and individual. By acknowledging the challenges and embracing opportunities for growth, we can emerge from this experience with greater emotional resilience and deeper connections, both individually and collectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, leaving an indelible mark on our lives. As we move forward, navigating the “new normal” presents both challenges and opportunities.
Lingering Impacts:
Uncertainties and Possibilities:
Moving Forward:
Remember:
The allure of ignoring the past, shoving painful memories and experiences into a mental attic and locking the door, is understandable. It can feel like a temporary escape, a way to numb the pain and move on with life. But the question remains: does neglecting the past actually heal? The answer, unfortunately, is no. While it might offer a fleeting sense of relief, neglecting the past often leads to more harm than good in the long run.
Here’s why neglecting the past isn’t a true path to healing:
1. Unexplored emotions fester: Ignoring emotions doesn’t make them disappear. They lurk beneath the surface, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and even physical health. Unhealed pain can manifest as anxiety, depression, or even physical ailments.
2. Unresolved issues resurface: When we refuse to address past issues, they have a way of creeping back into our lives, often at the most inopportune moments. Triggers can evoke long-buried emotions, leading to unexpected emotional outbursts or relationship problems.
3. Distorted perceptions: Neglecting the past can warp our self-perception and worldview. Unexamined experiences can fuel negative beliefs about ourselves or others, hindering personal growth and healthy relationships.
4. Missed opportunities for learning: Every experience, even painful ones, holds valuable lessons. By neglecting the past, we miss out on the opportunity to learn from those experiences and grow as individuals.
5. Perpetuating unhealthy patterns: Unhealed wounds from the past can create unhealthy patterns of behavior that we unconsciously repeat. Neglecting these patterns keeps us stuck in negative cycles, hindering our ability to create a fulfilling life.
So, what’s the alternative to neglecting the past? Healing. Yes, it’s a challenging and often uncomfortable process, but it’s ultimately the path to true liberation. This might involve:
Healing from the past doesn’t require forgetting it; it requires facing it head-on, understanding its impact, and learning to move forward with compassion and acceptance. It’s a journey, not a destination, but one that ultimately leads to a more authentic, resilient, and fulfilling life.
Remember:
By choosing to heal instead of neglect, you take back control of your narrative and write a more empowered and fulfilling chapter in your life.
Neglecting the past might seem like an appealing escape from pain and negativity. However, while it may offer temporary relief, true healing rarely exists in forgetting. J. Solace’s captivating “TimeWalker” series delves into this very conundrum, offering a compelling argument for facing the past as a crucial step towards personal transformation and a more conscious life.
The Illusion of Escape: Ignoring the past might temporarily shield us from unpleasant memories and unresolved emotions. But like an untreated wound, these issues fester beneath the surface, manifesting in unhealthy coping mechanisms, strained relationships, and even physical ailments. The pain might remain hidden, but its effects continue to ripple through our lives.
Confrontation, Not Condemnation: Solace, through his diverse experiences in the “TimeWalker” series, advocates for a nuanced approach. He doesn’t advocate for dwelling on past hurts, but rather for acknowledging them with compassion and understanding. This process involves introspection, journaling, and perhaps even seeking professional guidance to unpack past experiences and their impact on the present.
Learning from the Shadows: The past, even the painful parts, holds valuable lessons. By recognizing recurring patterns, triggers, and limiting beliefs rooted in past experiences, we gain crucial insights into who we are and how we react to the world. This self-awareness empowers us to make conscious choices, break free from unhealthy cycles, and build a more authentic future.
Forgiveness as a Tool: Holding onto anger, resentment, or guilt towards ourselves or others only perpetuates the negative energy. The “TimeWalker” series subtly encourages forgiveness, not as a condoning of past actions, but as a way to release burdens and cultivate inner peace. This doesn’t erase the past, but allows us to move forward with lighter hearts and open minds.
Beyond Individual Healing: Solace’s exploration extends beyond personal transformation. He believes that facing our collective past, both individual and global, is crucial for creating a more conscious and connected world. By acknowledging historical injustices, societal biases, and shared traumas, we can begin to heal divisions, foster empathy, and build a more equitable future.
TimeWalker’s Impact: The “TimeWalker” series isn’t just a captivating read; it’s a call to action. By prompting readers to reflect on their own past experiences and engage in honest introspection, it serves as a catalyst for individual and collective healing. It empowers readers to move beyond neglect, embrace the lessons of the past, and embark on a journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.
In a world of constant change and relentless demands, the call for personal transformation has never been louder. But as we juggle daily routines, chasing success, and navigating life’s inevitable challenges, why should we prioritize this inward journey? The answer lies in the profound potential it holds to unlock a more fulfilling, meaningful, and impactful life.
Beyond Self-Improvement: Stepping beyond the realm of superficial “self-improvement,” personal transformation delves deeper. It’s about shedding outdated versions of ourselves, confronting limiting beliefs, and embracing growth. It’s about unearthing our authentic selves, aligning our actions with our values, and fostering a sense of purpose.
The Ripple Effect: This transformation, however, isn’t just self-serving. It radiates outwards, positively impacting all aspects of our lives. Improved relationships, enhanced communication skills, and heightened emotional intelligence all blossom from deeper self-awareness. We become more empathetic, understanding leaders, fostering healthier communities and more positive interactions.
Unlocking Potential: By challenging our comfort zones and stepping outside self-imposed limitations, we unlock hidden potential. We approach challenges with greater resilience, learn new skills with increased confidence, and embrace opportunities that were previously off-limits. This empowers us to pursue our dreams and contribute meaningfully to the world around us.
Navigating Uncertainty: In a world brimming with uncertainty, personal transformation equips us with the tools to navigate life’s inevitable ebbs and flows. We learn to manage stress, cultivate inner peace, and develop mental agility to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. This resilience serves as an anchor, guiding us through stormy seas and propelling us towards calmer waters.
A Lifelong Journey: It’s crucial to remember that personal transformation isn’t a destination, but an ongoing journey. It’s a continuous process of growth, learning, and self-discovery. There will be setbacks, moments of doubt, and unexpected detours. But by embracing the journey with compassion and curiosity, we unlock the potential for an ever-evolving, enriching life.
Empowering Others: Witnessing someone’s authentic journey of transformation can be an inspiring force. Sharing our experiences, openly navigating obstacles, and offering support to others embarking on their own paths creates a ripple effect of positive change.
Taking the First Step: So, how do we start? The first step is acknowledging the importance of this journey. Next, explore resources, be it self-help books, workshops, or even a supportive community. Identify areas for growth, set realistic goals, and celebrate even small victories. Remember, personal transformation is a practice, not a perfection.
In conclusion, personal transformation isn’t a luxury, but a necessity in today’s dynamic world. By committing to this journey, we not only unlock our own potential but also contribute to a more compassionate, resilient, and meaningful world for all. Take the first step today, and embark on the incredible adventure of becoming the best version of yourself.
We all breathe, it’s an automatic function keeping us alive. But have you ever considered the power hidden within each inhale and exhale? Controlled breathing, also known as pranayama, is an ancient practice with surprising benefits for modern life. By taking control of your breath, you can unlock a toolbox of skills to improve your physical and mental well-being.
Why Control Your Breath?
Think of your breath as a dimmer switch for your nervous system. Inhale activates, exhale calms. By consciously altering your breathing patterns, you can:
